Pendle Club to celebrate golden event


CLITHEROE'S Pendle Club will celebrate its gold­ en jubilee 50 years to the day since it first opened. Originally known as the Old People's Welfare Com­


mittee's Club, it was opened on November 11th, 1950, in the St John Ambulance Brigade headquarters at the bottom of Church Brow by Miss Dorothy Rushton, the then Mayoress of Clitheroe. She was assisted by many helpers, including the late Mrs Phyllis Todd, MBE, and Mrs Marion Whiteside. To mark the milestone, a


50th birthday party and a special helpers thank-you evening will be held at the Lowergate club on Satur­ day, November 11th, from


7-30 p.m. And to commemorate the


special occasion, a ceremo­ ny will take place at 8-15 p.m. to name the main hall after the memory of the club's original founder who died in February aged 96. The club's president and his wife, the Mayor and May­ oress of Clitheroe, Coun. Alan and Mrs Susan Year- ing, will perform the nam­ ing ceremony and unveil a plaque in honour of Miss Rushton. Wine and light refresh­


ments will be served during the evening, which will act as a thank-you to all those who have assisted the club over the past five decades. Invitations are being sent to


as many people as possible, and anyone who has helped the Pendle Club and wants to attend the party is asked to contact the chairman, Mr Brian Ilaig, on 01200 424049 or 07836 661188. At 3-30 p.m. on the same


day, Pendle Club members will be attending a special party to mark the club's half century. The Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Chris Holtom and Mrs Dorothy Shaw, will be guests at the event, along with the Mayor and May­ oress of Clitheroe. Following tea, partygoers


will be entertained by Nick Mahon and Josephine Chatburn, as well as mem­ bers of Clitheroe Operatic and Dramatic Society.


Road safety


ABOUT two dozen horses and riders will be walking round roads in Wiswell and Whalley on Saturday after­ noon. They are taking part in a national road safety ini­ tiative designed to highlight road dangers and will start from Wiswell Hall Farm.
