Bingo interval The planned guest speak
er at the meeting of Bolton- bv-Bowland \VI, Mr Gra--, ham Iddon, was unfortu nately unable to fulfil his engagement. The meeting began with business matters, and lists were sent round for names for a visit to Hawes Cream ery on August 2nd, the coach to leave the Coach and Horses Hotel at 5-30 p.m., and also for the visit to Hellifield WI on Wednesday. Names for a table of 10 were completed for the celebration dinner at Mytton Fold Hotel on August 22nd at 7 p.m. Members enjoyed several
games of card bingo, called by Mrs Nancy Cornth- waite, who had also man aged to provide a few prizes. She was thanked by president Mrs E. Moor- house for standing in at short notice. A lovely supper was pro
vided by Mrs D. Wells and Mrs S. Cattenack and they were thanked by the presi dent. A competition for an
unusual item found in the garden was won by Mrs D. Wells and Mrs 1. Gregson, who, respectively, had found a small metal shoe and a coin called "A third of
a farthing". The next meeting will
take the form of a walk organised by Mrs E. Booth which will finish with sup per in a local hostelry.
Skittled out! The first home game of
the season was finally played by members of Downham Cricket Club on Sunday. Following two away matches, one a pre season warm-up at Bolton- by-Bowland, and a match at Waddington, Downham were ready to welcome Sun day's visitors, "The Pen guins", to Barley Field. With Downham winning
the toss and electing to field, the home side started well enough, with some excellent bowling which kept the visitors' score down. Hart was the first to strike, bowling Bould out for 19. Soon after, the new boy, Threlfall, made his home debut a memorable one by taking two wickets. Philip Parker ended the 40 overs by claiming the wick et of Lester, with help from Mark Hayton, who made a good catch. The visitors fin ished their 40 overs on 1G7 for five.

(46). This pair shared a stand of 74, allowing Grindleton to think of vic tory, but it was not to be. With 10 overs remaining, Grindleton required 62 with six wickets remaining. Although the batsmen tried, the bowling was just too tight and Grindleton finished 133 for eight off their 40 overs. Hurst Green bowled,
fielded and batted better and deserved their victory. There were notable per
formances for Grindleton, in particular Ollerenshaw's fielding, Simon Cherry's bowling and Ainsworth's
batting. Man of the match was
Wilkinson, of Hurst Green, who scored 69 runs and took four wickets in a great all-round performance.

formance was summed up in one word - shocking. Seven of the home side's batsmen went for a duck and only two made double figures. The damage was done by probably one of the best bowlers ever to play on Downham's Barley Field - his name was J. Lester. The South African was playing his first game for the Pen guins and, unfortunately, it was against Downham. The home side were skittled out for 54. Looking at this per formance, things can only
get better. Downham's next match
is at home against Rath- mell on Sunday.

London highlight Vice-president
of
Grindleton WI Mrs Catherine Taylor welcomed members and guests to the meeting in St Ambrose's Church Parish Room. The highlight of the busi
ness section was president Mrs Mandy Brennan's report on her trip to Wemb ley as delegate to the trien nial meeting. Guest speaker was Mrs
Denise North, who told the fascinating and often mov ing "Violet's Story" from a collection of postcards dat ing from 1903 to 1937. She was thanked by Mrs Tay

looking forward to a visit to Bradford tonight to see "Phantom of the Opera" at the Alhambra. The coach will leave from the Buck

and elected to bat. Grindle- ton's attack, weakened by the absence of Leach, was soon exposed by the bats men. Despite an early breakthrough, when Edmondson was stumped by Crossland off the bowl ing of Simon Cherry, Grindleton failed to put the brakes on Hurst Green. Wilkinson (69) savaged
the Grindleton bowling, hit ting every bad delivery to the boundary. At one stage it looked likely that Hurst Green would run up a total of 200 or more. However, once Wilkinson was out, caught by Middlebrough after the ball ricocheted off the bowler, Stephen Cherry, Grindleton managed to wrest back control, restrict ing Hurst Green to 158 all
out off 35 overs. The pick of the bowlers
was Stephen Cherry, who finished with four for 20 off
eight overs. After tea, it was Grindle-
ton’s turn to bat. Recent performances suggested a total of 159 for victory should have been within reach. Hurst Green's open ing bowlers, Wilkinson and Jacques, put a stranglehold on Grindleton's batsmen. When the first wicket went down after 13 overs, Grindleton had only 22 runs on the board. Another wicket brought Wilkinson (39) to the crease to join the wily veteran, Ainsworth

Floral skills "Blooming Lovely" was
the expression used by members of Mitton WI to a demonstration of floral arrangements given by Nicola and Sue, of Coul- ton's Florists, Whalley. The flowers were a
delight to the eye - lovely pale lemon roses and natur al grasses are the new idea from Holland; the use of starfish and shells mingled in with the flowers was
stunning. All 18 arrangements were
very unusual and one was presented to member Mrs Elsie Rumsey, who cele brated her 98th birthday. Mrs Freda Grimes expressed thanks to the
speakers. A competition for a sin
gle bloom was won by Mrs Eleanor Friend and Mrs Freda Hayes. Members were asked to
