HAILWOOD - CRANE


SILVER coins had to be thrown by a wedding party before the gates of All Saints' Church, Pendleton were untied by local chil­ dren - one dressed as a chimney sweep. The bridegroom was


group contract manager Mr Michael Hailwood, son of Mr and Mrs Rodney and Sheila Hailwood, of Crossfold House, Grindle- ton, and the bride was teacher Miss Amanda Crane, daughter of Mr and Mrs Ron and Margaret Crane, of Walden Road,


. Blackburn. The bride was given


away by her father and wore a gown of ivory and gold silk brocade with a fit-


' ted bodice and a full skirt and train. A full-length gold


j veil with gold edging held in 1 place by an antique gold ; tiara of Celtic design com­ pleted her outfit. Her hand-


I tied bouquet was of red ■ roses, hydrangea berries,


i and teazle heads. Miss Sarah Brophy,


cousin of the bride, was the bridesmaid and she wore a burgundy silk dupion dress with full skirt and carried a hand-tied bouquet similar to the bride's. Mr Andrew Hailwood,


cousin of the bridegroom, was the best man and the groomsmen were Messrs Andrew Williams, brother- in-law of the bridegroom Tim Crane, brother of the bride, Barry Jones, cousin of the bridegroom, and Adam Tracy, cousin of the


bride. The Rev. Roland Nichol­


son conducted the ceremo­ ny and the organist was Mr Colin Jones, uncle of the-


bride groom. The reception was at the


Higher Trapp Hotel, Simonstone, and the honey­ moon destination was Prague. The couple are to live in Pendleton. Photo: David Bowker,

Naturalists' whistlestop tour from Islay to Iceland


THE results of 29 years of study and patient photography of bird life formed the 26th lecture given to Clitheroe Nat­ uralists by Mr Gordon


Yates. His title "A celebration


of birds" described in pic­ tu res journeys made to many locations a t home, in Scotland and in Ice­ lan d , with sp e c ta cu la r rare sightings and scenery. But Mr Yates told the


slides of the landscape, waterfalls, bubbling volca­


noes, mud pools and "geysirs." These were excit­ ing locations and Mr Yates travelled to the remotest areas of the North West fjords, seeing rare flowers and obtaining special per­ mission to photograph the unique habitats of birds. Nine million pairs of puffins thrive in the climate. A distant lake gave Mr


audience th a t his most memorable experience was at Stockport, where 300-500 waxwings raided the berries


for a period of five weeks. The speaker explained


that lapwigs, once common on our fields, have now found new habitats on fac­


tory roofs. The journey took in Bass


Rock, where now 40,000 gannets jostle for position and circle round like


snowflakes. The Cairngorms, Skye


and Islay were other venues covered by Mr Yates, but Iceland has held a fascina­ tion for him, and there were


Yates one of. his greatest experiences, the sight of himbrini, the great north­


ern diver. In complete contrast he


returned to Lancashire with a slides of hundreds of waxwings drinking water from pools at Halford's car park in Rochdale. After a lively question


time, chairman Mr Brian Jones thanked the speaker fior his whistlestop tour. The next lecture at the


library will be on Thursday, November 16th, at 7-30 p. m. when Dr Irene Ridge has chosed for her subject "Woodland Ecology." Cynthia M. Lang

infantry throughout the


war. As a Territorial Army


member he was called up straig h t away, and saw action at various battle-


fronts. He was a first lieutenant


with the Yorkshire and Lancashire Regiment, and was in the Anzio landings, fighting up into Italy and


Germany. In recent times Mr

Red squirrel print proves a hit at club’s winteir competition


THE Ribblesdale Camera Club’s second winter series com p eti tio n was held last week with a good entry of 32 prints and 44


slides. More encouraging still


was the high standard throughout, with hardly a picture that might not have won some previous compe­


tition. The judge was David


Earl from the HASSRA (Fylde) Camera Club, who explained that he was also a keen member of the Fylde Mountaineering Club, but that all the local peaks were currently under water. The winner of the print


section was Mick Caddy with a quite superb print of


a red squirrel mum 10, wh member's atmo spheric pic­ ture of "Summit Tarn, Haystacks" ws s a worthy second on the same mark. Mike Bartle Sails" was third, just beat ing three other prints each given nine poin :s. The slide seel ion was won by Frank Barnes with

Plans under discussion


FURTHER talks will take place to try to resolve problems surrounding plans for an extension in Ribchester. Members of Ribble Val­

an inter-club slide competi­ tion held at Blackburn Pho­ tographic Society. Ribbles- dale's results were rather disappointing, with ninth place out of 12 clubs. The two most successful slides were Steuart Kellington’s 17 out of 20 for "Tai Girl" and "Montalban", by Ken Geddes, which scored 15. Next week Mr Dave


Crabtree from Bury shows two and a quar ter inch square slides, and talks about "My View of the


Landscape." The meeting will be as


usual at 7-30 p. m. on Tues­ day in the clubroom, Ribble Lane, Chatburn.


Festive plea


LET there be light is the plea from members of Clitheroe Town Council's Decorative Clitheroe Com­


mittee. It has sent out letters to


the town's business commu­ nity, asking for donations towards the cost of Clitheroe's festive lights, which are to be strung throughout the town centre to "encourage the spirit of


Christmas". Businesses able to help


are asked to forward their contributions in cheques


made payable to the Deco­ rative Clitheroe Commit­ tee, 5 Parson Lane Clitheroe BB7 2JP.
