aspects of garden design discussed were ideas for gar den architecture, low main tenance gardens, planting, colour schemes, water fea tures and much more. His illustrations were mainly from gardens he had designed, ranging from pro jects costing a few pounds for advice to those costing hundreds of thousands for large complete gardens. He finished the talk with
two slides showing different aspects of nature's vast and beautiful garden - just to keep things in proportion!

the chairman for the Tall Stories Session and Mr Taylor chaired and intro duced an impromptu Top ics Session. There was also an unusu
al feature. Instead of the chairman giving a topic of his choice to a nominated member, he asked a mem ber to choose a topic and who to give i t to. The advantage of this was that the maximum number of members was involved and the method also ensured a wide variety of topics. The club's next meeting is
at Low Moor Club on April 17th at 7-30 p.m. - the final meeting of the spring ses sion, apart from the AGM on May 8th.
Fire-fighters tackle JCB fire
FIRE-FIGHTERS were called to a fire in a JCB dig ger at Hill House Farm, Sawley, on Saturday morning. Officers from Clitheroe, who were called out just before
11-30 a.m., used two hose reels and three sets of breathing apparatus to deal with the fire. Sub-officer Ronnie Eatough said inquiries were being made into the cause.
