marriage is in trouble - she can't stand his music - so she sets off to the under­


world. M e a nw h i le , on M ount O lym ­

TO Mrs Margaret Harrison, of Har- rop Hall, near Slaidburn, it was just another pleasant Sunday playing the organ during the weekly service at


Harrop Chapel. Little did she know, however, that the members of the congregation had


planned a surprise for her. They knew she was completing 40


years as organist for the former Methodist chapel and, at the end of the service, presented her with a framed cer­ tificate and a bouquet of flowers to mark

the occasion. The occasion was made extra special


in that she and her husband, Geoffrey, were also celebrating 40 years of mar­


riage. Mrs Harrison, nee Metcalfe, originally


from Beck House Farm, Tosside, began playing the organ for Tosside's St Bartholomew's Church before she mar­ ried her husband, Geoffrey.


After they married, they went to live at


Harrop Gate and Mrs Harrison began playing for the chapel of which her hus­ band is one of the two elders. The chapel became independent three years ago. In 1965 they moved to Harrop Hall. Her dedication to service had been


appreciated by everyone and the presenta­ tion bowled her over. "It was such a lovely surprise. I was thrilled," said Mrs Harrison,


who has three grown-up children; Neville, Sheila and David. Mr Frank Robinson, the other of the


chapel's elders, praised her for her expertise at the keyboard. "She has been marvellous. Even when she had a break to have her three children she was away only for a few weeks before resuming her seat. Her work has been greatly appreciated," ho said. Pictured after the presentation are, from

THE Ribble Valley could never be accused of being short of good pubs offering affordable food that’s well worth


eating. But some of the gems in that particular


area seem to be pretty well buried. And the Swan with Two Necks at


Pendleton is certainly one of them. A delightful village setting, a well-


stocked bar and an excellent range of food on the menu all set the scene for a good

of chicken dishes, home-made pies, pastas, gammon steak, three fish courses , duck and brocolli and mushroom mornay. A selection of appetising starters was also

meals from the usual children’s menu. We also found ourselves tempted into the


dessert menu. My jam roly poly pudding was tasty and


filling, and the baked Alaska sampled by the other hit the spot. Between us we totted up a food bill of


just pennies over £30 for five main courses and three desserts, and that represented good value for money. With so many good places to go in the Kibble Valley it could prove difficult to fit


them all in. But we found the trip to Pendleton just


as good as my last visit to the Swan With Two Necks which must have been at least a

HIGHWAY problems in George Lane, Read, can be solved, an applicant for two flats there told councillors. Mr C. Pollard feels that accommoda­


tion of the type he wants to build is in short supply. But members of the Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning and Development committee were recom­ mended by officers to turn the plan


down as it would be a "cramped and cordant development" which woulc to integrate into the street scene. There would also be inadequate p


ing and highway problems. Although the plan was refused, (


committee members felt that the 1 way objections could be overcome.
