Saturday. The annual salmon tea

lower fibula. Mr Scott, a retired cater­


ing manager who is closely connected wdth the parish church, was playing for Great Harwood seniors against Rishton on Thurs­ day morning when he slipped on a muddy patch. Colleagues carried him to


the Rishton clubhouse and he spent several hours in


hospital. "I heard the dreaded


crack and knew it was a fracture," explains Mr Scott. "Quite a lot of cook­ ing is needed, and with barely a day to go it was too late to find a replacement for me, and so the tea had to be cancelled. But it will go ahead when 1 am up and about again, though it will be some weeks. We all enjoy the tea and it is also a good fund-raiser for church work of various sorts. I thank everyone who has sent good


wishes." A notice was pinned on


the Methodist hall venue for people who had not heard of the cancellation. Refunds arc available from Mr Alan Bowles on 01254 823331.
