I ning the story of Eaves Hall Country Club at West Brad­ ford, once the home of the


A


prosperous Burton family. Its history, however, can be


traced back to Tudor times and author Donald Heseltine has pro­ duced the first comprehensive account of the hall and the people


who lived there. The Wilpshire resident is a mem­


ber of the Leisure Properties Com­ Uul Ui tllV AJViotziv. X * UJ/V. --------

by Sheila Nixon WgM


mittee of the Civil Service Motor­ ing Asssociation, the present own­ ers of the hall who decided it was time to publish the illustrated book for their 300,000-strong member­


ship.However, it should have much wider appeal, especially among local people whose relatives worked at the hall and on its estate during both the 19th and 20th Centuries. As the only Ribble Valley mem­


ber on the Brighton-based commit­ tee, Mr Heseltine was invited to


tackle the writing challenge and then devoted almost two years researching his subject. It is the first time the former inspector with the Health and Safe-


ty Executive has tackled a literary work and the result should prove a fascinating read for both members and Ribble Valley people. It tells us that since Tudor times


three Eaves Halls have been con­ structed on two different sites. The first was built about 600 yards north west of the present hall and was shown on the earliest maps of the area. In the mid 19th century it fell into disrepair and became unoc­


cupied.The author traces the story of the Burton family who made a for­ tune from calico printing and later from cotton spinning. They bought the land on which the present hall


stands.


Ribble Valley figures are in forefront of providing first-class health service


I TWO personalities well known in the Ribble Valley have been playing key parts in the work of the local Community Health Council, reveals the annu­


al report, But a less happy feature


are the problems council staff experience in han­ dling complaints against the National Health Ser-


I vice. It seems that these prob-


I lems threaten to outweigh all the good work which is done by the service, cer-


| tainly in the Ribble Valley. Last year there were


nearly 100 complaints across the Community Council area - not a great many, points out its Chief Officer, Mr Nigel Robinson, considering the number of patient contacts the service has with residents of the three boroughs covered. But neverthless he slams

This neither benefits the complainant nor those who are the sub­ ject of the complaint." The council covers Black­


Coun. Graham Sowter. The committee's programme currently includes extra items such as reviewing hos­ pital catering services, mon­ itoring the planning of health services during the millenium, looking at orthopaedic services in Blackburn and checking the facilities for disabled


patients. The committee also has a

th e charm ing b u t e lu siv e badger


A TEAM of badger enthusiasts operating in the Ribble Valley is keen to increase its member­


ship. Its parent organisa­


tion, the Lancashire Bad­ ger Group, is organising a drawing competition to help children appreciate the value of this charm­ ing animal. "Many people are interested in studying the badger and we are keen to widen their knowledge and understanding," says a spokesman for the local team. "Although Lan­ cashire as a whole has quite a low badger popu­ lation, the Ribble Valley's countryside has resulted in it being a stronghold for the animal." The Wildlife and

being held on Monday to explain the local activi­ ties. Those involved try to operate as discreetly as possible — anyone inter­ ested can ring the "bad­ gerline" on 0345 413394 and leave a contact num­ ber for an official to call


back. O The county competi-


tior. is in support of National Badger Day and the winners of each section and their families will have the opportunity to see badgers in the wild. There are also other

Y


I than 200! But do not let the differences of


I opinions and doctrines trouble you over much. Seek to find out all the


] things Christians have in common, the things they definitely agree


| about, and rejoice in them. Be con­ tent to leave the arguing to those | who will always waste their time in


| doubtful disputes. Even in the church which is your


own spiritual home, you may well find a few different kinds of Christ-


I ian. Worry notl We have tired Christians, retired Christians, and I flat -tvred Christians in most


es, it's true. Messrs Heinz have nowhere near the number of


churchosi They are apt to gel into these various conditions through their neglect of prayer, Bible read­ ing and fellowship. Some come to church because


their parents came and brought them in the first place, and have formed the good habit of worship. Some are truly lovely folks, kind, generous, loving and caring, but have missed tlieir Christian way somehow. They will admire you and respect your faith, while feeling a faint sense of longing for a closer relationship with Jesus, but will turn down every opportunity of


service for him. When you get the opportunity of


doing something for Jesus, take it, even if you doubt your ability to do it. It is in the attempting of the dif­ ficult that we grow. We draw upon


hidden strengths to serve our need as we become the channels of God's blessing. With this God-given power wo find strength to flex spiri­ tual muscles we never knew we had. There is little that is worthwhile that comes easily to us. We have to concentrate to pray, and study to learn from the scriptures, but God blesses and rewards our efforts. It, is downright spiritual laziness whicli cripples the development of many


Christians. If you find regular quiet times


with the Lord to be difficult, try using your imagination to assist your faith. Think of Jesus being by your side in life's every day, and you will realise that you can talk and listen to Him at any time. In this way you can practise living in the presence of Jesus hourly. This fac­


ulty, so wonderful, is not observed by enough of us. Too many are con­ tent with second best and some say they just haven't time. It is very important to give a great deal of time to the One Who has given us all the time we have. Just as earthly parents can love a

musical director. Much of the work of the A Cappella Singers has a reli­
