Clitheroe's good citizens awards. As exclusively revealed in
the Advertiser and Times last month, these were achieved by Mr Harold Haworth, of Victoria Street, for more than 50 years' service to the St John Ambulance Brigade, Mrs
Sandra Wood, of Moor Lane's Hall's Prams for her efforts to keep the town tidy, Mr Peyman Bahrehmand, of Cafe Fres co, Shawbridge Street, for building enhancement and restoration, and jointly to Ribble Valley Borough and Lancashire County Coun
cils for environmental improvement in terms of Clitheroe’s Interchange (new bus and rail termi nus). Pictured are Clitheroe’s

Neighbours’ epic ride will leave no room for garden fence chats!
THERE will soon be no nattering over the garden fence for Clitheroe neighbours Mr Brian Davies and Mr Mike Boult. For the pair are about
to embark on an epic charity bike ride that will take them the 1,000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats. The Shays Drive duo
will be pedalling on behalf of Clitheroe's
Friends of Chernobyl Children Group, which has again welcomed a party of 20 youngsters from Chernobyl, to the town for a recuperative
holiday. It costs the group £300
per child for flights and gifts of a new coat and pair of shoes, so the two fathers, Mr Davies (53) and Mr Boult (54), are hoping the ir cycle marathon will raise at least £3,000 in sponsor ship money to offset this year's bills. To prepare for their trip,
day there will be an organ recital at 11am. The church will be open in the after noon, as well as on Sunday, to give as many people as possible the chance to look at the photographs of vil lage life on display. There will also be the
chance to take afternoon tea in the Old School, which will be the first opportunity that many people will have had to visit since leaving the school many years ago.
Reports are requested
PRE-SENTENCE reports have been ordered in the case of a Clitheroe man who was nearly three times over the drink-drive limit. Magistrates at Black
burn ordered the reports after hearing that Michael Harry Alston (50), of Hay- hurst Street, Clitheroe, had been convicted of failing to provide a specimen in 1997. Alston admitted driving
while over the limit in Manor Road, Clitheroe. A breath test showed a figure of 101 against the legal limit of 35.

P e p y s ’s V a len tin e
g re e t in g to h is wife A FASCINATING insight into the development of 18th Century greeting cards was enjoyed by members of the Whalley and District Historical
and Archaeological Society. Guest speaker Mrs S. Sturrock, the clerk of Read
Parish Council, illustrated her talk with slides and it concluded with a lively question session. Members of the audience were surprised to learn that
the earliest greetings sent in card form were Valentines, the first known one being sent to the wife of Samuel Pepys in 1667. The heyday of the Valentine card was the mid-18th Century when they were being produced on embossed card, made from paper lace and built up with montages into complicated designs. When interest in Valentines began to fade, the fashion
for sending Christmas cards rose and often the old Valen tine designs were recycled with a change of message. With the development of the postal system helping to
spread their popularity, designs based on moving parts and pop-up features became the vogue, German manu facturers were the leaders in this field. Early cards were expensive with cost expressed in
guineas, even in 1843 they could cost a shilling - a very high cost for the period. A card from this later period recently sold for £6,500. The society's next meeting is due to take place on May
Comthwaite is to build the new message centre which will be shared jointly by the parish council and the youth centre. It will be sited in the same place as the old one at Farthings Cottage, opposite the White Bull Hotel, in Main Street. The cost is thought to be around £170, plus VAT.
Cash boost for Lancs
