Funeral address honours a sterling personality of town


Accident Advice at...


A LARGE number of people crowded into Clitheroe Parish Church on F r id ay for the funeral of one of the town's ste r l in g personalities, Mr


Charles Walmsley (89). A resolute worker and always


happy to help personality of the old school, his service to the area in various ways started when he was a boy. I t continued, inter ­ rupted only by war, until he was taken ill three-quarters of a cen­ tury later. Mr Walmsley was a keen pho­


tographer and could trace his con­ nection with Ribblesdale Camera Club back to its foundation. A life member, he entered competitions right up to recent years, often with pictures of flowers or gardens. Club events of any sort saw him


keen to help - for instance, he organised refreshments together with a band of helpers from women members who came to be known as "Charlie's Angels". Mr Walmsley was also a member


of the Pendle Club. He knew most of the history


about, and most of the people con­ nected with, the Co-operative


movement locally. He worked on the book-keeping side there from the age of 14 until his retirement, first in Clitheroe and later in Black­ burn. The work entirely suited his painstaking accuracy and grasp of detail. As a young man, he was a keen


footballer. During the war he served abroad, but rarely talked about his experiences. The Rev. Canon Philip Dearden


officiated at the funeral service, and his address about Mr Walms­ ley was much appreciated by fami­ ly and friends. Cremation followed at Skipton.

Panoramic views enjoyed by the naturalists on the Pendle Way


CLITHEROE N a tu ­ ralists enjoyed a walk on th e Pendle Way from Barnoldswick on


Saturday. The group went past the


old weavers' cottages and up Weets Hill, where a lunch stop ensured everyone could enjoy panoramic views of the Three Peaks. The walk then continued along the Old Gisburn Road and across the "new” Blacko to


Gisburn Road to Admcrgill Hall to follow Blacko Water to the Watermeetings, and from there the group went on to Iligherford and the Heritage Centre in Barrow- ford. Altogether, 78 varieties of


flowers were observed, including the greater spear- wort, marsh woundwort, enchanters nightshade, ragged robin and angelica. The birds noted included a kestrel, pied and grey wag­ tails, curlews, skylarks, goldfinches and meadow pipits. The walk leaders, Gloria Booth and Brenda Jones, were thanked by Frank Mason. © New members are wel­

the form of a coach ride from Clitheroe to a destina­ tion previously arranged by the committee and walk leaders. Children and grandchildren especially enjoy learning about flow­ ers, grasses and birds from the society's more experi­ enced members. © The next walk on July


29th is to Heaton Park, Manchester. The coach will leave Clitheroe Interchange at 10 a.m. For members not wishing to do the full walk, facilities are available to do their own thing.

Footpath closed by major work


WALKERS planning to embark on the 12-mile circular footpath around Stocks Reservoir will now find part of


their way blocked. Major structural work on the dam wall means that the


concessionary footpath across the dam is closed until fur­ ther notice. However, North West Water is hoping to reopen the route as quickly as possible.


Mr Walmsley leaves two daugh­


ters, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.


Aysgarth walk for ramblers


AS church bells rang ou t in A y sg ar th , 13 Clitheroe ramblers set out for the falls car park on th e ir first Sunday


walk of July. After pausing to look at


the lower falls, the group set out over fields to Ilolling House Farm and then the green-walled Thoresby


Lane. The walkers stopped for a


while in Castle Bolton to look at an interesting exhi­ bition of photographs dat­ ing as far back as the Boer War and detailing impor­ tant milestones in the vil­


lage. Continuing along Eller-


lands Edge and Intake Plantation, the group then dropped down to the sweep of Oxclose Road, past old lead mines and on to Wood- hall and Heugh. The walk­ ers then followed a steep lane, lined with wild roses, to the old farmhouse'and pole tower of Nappa Hall. Turning back towards


Aysgarth, the ramblers fol­ lowed the line of the old railway and riverside paths back to the car park where they enjoyed a pot of tea at the cafe. © On Saturday, Mr John


SMITH-KENYON


Clitheroe bride Miss Lynette Kenyon had guaranteed sun­ shine for her marriage to Mr Andrew Smith by choosing


Cyprus for its location. Insurance underwriter Miss Kenyon, the daughter of


Mr and Mrs Edward Kenyon, of Moorend, Clitheroe, married at Paphos's Ayia Kyriaki Church. For the Anglican ceremony, she wore a full-length


Empire-line dress of ivory chiffon, the bodice of which was embroidered in pearl and diamante, and carried a bouquet of red and cream roses, daisies and ivy. She was followed down the aisle by bridesmaids Miss Kathryn Parker and Miss Jennifer Smith, who wore red dresses and carried


bouquets to match the bride's. The bridegroom, an engineer for a Preston company, is the son of Mr and Mrs Alan Smith, of Longridge. He was


supported by best man Mr Mark Peters. Following the service conducted by the Rev. Derek


Hamblin, a reception was held at the Alexander the Great Hotel, Paphos. The couple, who honeymooned in Cyprus, will live in

Jonathan competes in wild water race


AN international date for Clitheroe canoeist Jonathan Schofield saw him competing in the Junior Wild Water Racing World Championships


in Italy. The 15-year-old Clitheroe Royal Grammar School


pupil finished 22nd out of the field of 45, coming home just 10 seconds behind Olympic squad athlete Tim Munford (18), who came 17th. The heavy rain and high river levels favoured the Ribble Valley teenager, who learnt his white water skills from


Rishton's Jon Roylc. This year marks Jonathan's first in top international


competition, and he is now setting his sights on the next world championship, which the UK is hoping to host in 2002 at Bala in North Wales. If his progress continues to develop, hopes are high that he will be in with a chance of a medal. Jonathan's training schedule will now take him to the


River Iseres in the French Alps this summer, where he will learn the international course with a number of top senior


British wild water racers.
