Land-Rover Club is looking


for venues to hold its events RIBBLE VALLEY landowners have a chance to earn a bit of extra money through the Red Rose Land-Rover


Club. The club is constantly on the lookout


for venues on which to hold its events. Areas of approximately 10 acres of


rough or wooded land are needed. Club secretary Mr John Sturgess


explained that for many off-road sports, land is a very precious and decreasing


commodity. "This is an ideal opportunity for


landowners to rent out, for a weekend, those pieces of land that arc not much use for anything but grazing a few sheep," said Mr


Sturgess. Red Rose is a member of the Association


of Rover Clubs, which has many thousands


of members in the UK and abroad and is run to strict guidelines with full insurance


cover.Around 17 events throughout the year are held, four or five of which raise funds for


charity. For further details contact Mr Sturgess

ASSURANCES have been sought that all parties involved in the Rib­ ble Valley's Crime and Disorder Partnership would be willing to con­ tribute to it financially. A request for a budget of £5,000 to


be used for crime and disorder related expenditure has been approved by members of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Policy and Finance Commit­ tee.


Jones (Clitheroe) said, that although he could see the need for the money, he wanted assurances that others involved in the partnership would be equally will­ ing to get involved financially. A report to committee said that a speci-


ficed budget would make money available to cover various costs, such as obtaining a licence for Clitheroe town centre’s mobile radio scheme, purchasing one or two mobile radios as part of the scheme, and to finance the printing of the Ribble Valley Crime and Disorder Audit; Strategy and
