an outing to Whalley Abbey. GISBURN


Bridge WI. Next month there will be


members of Grindleton WI, with events on two consecu­ tive evenings. The first was hosting the


Bowland Forest group meet­ ing at Bowland High School, enjoying the friendship of Sawley and Downham WIs, the other two institutes in the


group. Entertainment was provid­


ed by Mr Graham Iddon who showed slides of cottage gar­ den flowers and later did a brisk trade in selling the unusual plants he had illus­ trated. He also gave detailed descriptions of their preferred habitat and how to produce the most successful growth. True to form, his humour gave rise to a lot of laughter. President of Sawley WI Mrs Rita Webb thanked Mr Iddon for a very enjoyable


evening. Members of the three insti­


tutes mingled for a mouthwa­ tering Jacob’s join supper. Winners of the raffle were invited to choose a plant from the cottage garden selection. Competition winners for a


saw Grindleton struggling at 17 for two. However, the dogged Hutchinson (52) and Crossland (33) steadied the ship, sharing a stand of 75. The Rathmell attack kept plugging away and was rewarded by taking three wickets in the space of five overs. At 97 for five a collapse looked on the cards. Middle- brough (46) joined Wilkinson (40) at the crease. Not the quickest of players between the stumps, this pair dug in, sharing a partnership of 95 runs. Hargreaves and Pickles saw out the remaining four overs to steer Grindlcton to a very respectable 233 for


seven. After a splendid tea it was


the turn of Rathmell to occu­ py the crease. Grindleton, unable to call on their open­ ing bowlers Cherry and Leach, had a lightweight attack and this was exposed by Barton (101) and Shep­ herd (66). Barton who enjoys consistent success against Grindleton hooked and pulled at will, punishing every bad ball, and there was plenty of them. A superb innings came to an end when Barton was trapped lbw off Pickles, at 150 for one. Rath­ mell were coasting. Grindleton's bowlers


though, did not give up, and although the run rate did not slow, hard work and effort were rewarded. Middle- brough took three wickets, including Shepherds (66) and Crossland took a wicket in his first over, to leave Rath­ mell needing 25 off the last four overs. Despite Grindle­ ton's heroic efforts, it was a bridge too far, and Rathmell got home with three balls to spare, finishing on 234 for


five. Spectators enjoyed a


flower picture were, by coinci­ dence, the presidents of the three institutes. The Methodist schoolroom


Sporty farmers Last week, members of
