R IB B L E VALLEY re s id en ts a re being asked to Com mit to Get F i t an d help raise cash for


a children’s charity. Hicks Health and


Rackets Club, in Chat- burn Road, Clitheroe, is one of GOO leisure centres and health clubs across the country taking part in the special event, which is being held th ro u g h o u t July. The aim of the fitness


fund-raiser is to encourage as many people as possible to exercise in aid of a good cause. This is the first time that


Hicks has taken part in the nationwide event. Cym manager Kim Salis­


bury said: "We all know that regular exorcise is good for us. but we often have an excuse not to do anything about it; too tired, too busy, too expensive. “ That is why Commit to


C.et Fit is such a great opportunity to kick-start a fitness regime and get into


shape. Each challenge promises to be inspirational, a lot of fun and, above all, raises money for a worth­ while cause." The event, which is oper­


ated by the Fitness Indus­ try Association, is aiming to raise money for the NSI’CCs Full Stop cam­ paign and Children 1st in Scotland.


Participants who are non­


members of the centres set themselves a series of chal­ lenges, while existing mem­ bers are asked to try some­ thing new or different. Both groups are asked to com­ plete the challenges during the month-long event and to get friends and family to sponsor them. For further information


about how to Commit To Get, Fit at Hicks, ring the hotline on 0870 4'1-12550 or visit the website on www.committogetfit.com

n ity woodland. The Woodland Trust, the


UK's leading woodland con­ servation charity, has begun the process of consulting local people. It hopes every­ one in the village will get involved in designing the new wood and selecting a new name, which could reflect the local history The trust is also looking


for ideas for a suitable Mil­ lennium feature to incorpo­ rate into the wood. This could be something as nat­ ural as a wildflower mead­ ow, a group of special trees or shrubs, a pond or, alter­ natively, a sculpture or seat which could be designed and installed within the new wood. Ideas and suggestions for


the name of the wood should be sent to: Heather Swift, Regional Manager, The Woodland Trust, 12 Sandy Lane, Leyland, Pre­ ston, PR5 1EB, by June


2Gth. A community tree-plant­


ing event will take place on


December 16th between 11 a.m and 3 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and more information will be made available nearer the


time. The new woods will be


part of the trust's "Woods on Your Doorstep" scheme, which aims to create 250 new woods throughout Eng­ land, Wales and Northern Ireland to celebrate the new Millennium. The project was funded


through an appeal support­ ed by local people and many others, including Castle Cement, Ribble Valley Borj ough Council and the Grindleton Millennium Committee. LWS Lanj cashire Environmental Fund made a substantial donation to the project through the landfill tax


credit scheme. Pictured are woodland


project supporters who met to celebrate acquiring their new 12-acre (COG0G00/5/20)

Villages unveil their j celebrations fit for a Millennium


jTHE Langho and Billington Millennium C om m i t te e


Mr Cooper said: "Work h a s


u n v e i led p la n s fo r an u n fo rg e t ta b le series of celebrations during the


next few months. As already reported in


i


the Advertiser and Times, the committee has been awarded £4,900 by the Mil­ lennium Commission for Millennium events. Now the committee is


hoping to bring villagers from all backgrounds together as never before. The Rev. Steve Cooper,


Vicar of St Leonard's parish, Billington, who is committee chairman, explained: "The area has people from diverse back­ grounds and we are looking forward to getting all these people together during the celebrations. Some 30 village groups


have already promised sup­ port for the initiative,


which includes: O A project to record the


history of Billington, Lang­ ho, Old Langho, Dinckley, Brockhall and York, and in particular the "aural histo­ ry" of older members of the community. O A Millennium time


capsule. Q A bumper community


party. There has been a slight


hitch for the history pro­ ject, as the collator has had to pull out.


has already begun on thf project, but this has beep delayed because we need to find someone new who is prepared to collate and edit what is being collected." i Anyone interested in


helping, either in collecting the material or in collating and editing should, contact Mr Cooper (01253 822246). Meanwhile, the time cap­


sule recording the Millenni­ um year is being co-ordinat­ ed by Billington Youth Club members, who are keen to mark the year in


placed n e a r the w a r m em o r ­ ial in Billington, and per- mission is currently being


this way. The hope is that it will be


sought. The community Millen­


nium p ar ty has been planned for September 16th at St Augustine's RC High School, following a parade through Old Langho and Billington. "We are intending to


have a great day for the family and planning is pro­ gressing well," said Mr Cooper. Bands, dancing groups,


swing-boats, a bouncy cas­ tle, Punch and Judy, clowns, jesters, stalls, a tug- of-war.and other competi­ tions, and a police dog demonstration, have been lined up. In the evening, there will


be a lamb roast, hoe-down, disco and line dancing and a pub quiz.
