been five letters of objec­ tion, complaining that the area for tennis and football would be restricted, that there would be increased noise and disturbance to houses, and that "the devel­ opment will create a danger to the health and safety of residents due to the nature of activities” in the labo- raties. Officials commented that


"the nature of the activities in the units would incur no danger to residents". They also emphasised that the two laboratories provided were needed to relieve over­ crowding and would be removed within two years. There was a road and out­ buildings between the site and the nearest houses.

Straight-from-shoulder village chronicle causes interest across world


by Tim Procter EVERBODY forecast


it would happen and no one expects a prize for


being right! Chronicle 2000, the


Millennium book written by Hurst Green people about their village, is causing interest across the


world. There are a few copies left


from the original 350, and a second edition may be printed if demand is suffi­ cient. The Advertiser and


Times is eagerly read by Ribble Valley exiles in Aus­ tralia and one of them, Mr Clifford Cross, should by now be scouring the book for references to his family's


bobbin works. He and his wife, Mar­ garet, and a friend from


Clitheroe, Mrs Evelyn Melling, share a copy of our paper every week. "Clifford was most inter­


ested in your report about Chronicle 2000 and so I have airmailed the book to him," says Mrs Melling's sister, Mrs StellaWilson, of Clitheroe. The Crosses kept what is


now Banana News in Castlegate and in earlier times his wife, nee O'Don­ nell and Mrs Melling, nee Boyer, took lead roles in pantomimes at St Michael and St John's RC Church. In Australia, Mr Cross


followed the family wood tradition in a way by doing some joinery work, but was mainly a painter and deco­ rator. He is now in his 60s, and retired. Copies of the book will


certainly be in other parts of Australia and Mr Alf Ashton has contributed


Superb turnout for successful village sports


A COMPETITIVE spirit and a superb turnout of youngsters made Bolton- by-Bowland’s annual village sports day, organised by the Children's Committee, a successful event. Children from around the


parish congregated on the village green on Saturday to commemorate the Festival of St Peter and St Paul. After a full schedule of races, a short church service was held, followed by a buf­ fet tea in the school, provid­ ed by all the parents. The fancy dress was


judged by Mr and Mrs Birch and they had a diffi­ cult task due to the high standard of entries. Sports trophy winners


were; Ribble Shield, A Dakin; Knotts Farm Shield, Jonathan Pawson; York Cup, II Robinson; Wilkinson Cup, R Park.

Big grant brings staff need


AN "out-of-school" club planned for the Ribble Valley has been awarded a


£20,000 grant. But everyone at St Leonard's CE School,


Langho, is now hoping that a suitably qualified nursery assistant can be found so that the club can open in September. The club meets the Government's hopes


for quality child care to be provided, so that mothers and fathers can work. "Many parents are relying on the care


the club will provide and we are very grate­ ful for the £20,000 from New Opportuni­ ties Funding," says school headteacher Mrs


J. A. Pickup. "But we need someone with NNEB,


BTEC or equivalent qualification." The club will look after children from 7-


30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again from 3-30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Job share is a possibility, and any­ one interested can contact Mrs Pickup on 01254 247156.


talks, workshops and read­ ing events will be staged to introduce the special guests and their work to pupils of


all ages. Pupils from other schools


across the Ribble Valley have also been invited to attend the various events which will take place at the Queen's Road complex. The aim of the week-long


festival is not only to enter­ tain and educate young­ sters, but also to celebrate contemporary writing.

places in the world where it is being read, the Advertis­ er and Times would be pleased to hear from them. The book itself is fasci­

Even those who have never heard of Hurst Green will find gems about past times in an original, spontaneous and straight-from-the- shoulder historical docu­ ment of easily-taken-for- granted significance. Time will confirm its value and the work put in by editor Mrs Cynthia Yates and many others. A lady of 92 recalls being

tive programme of English church music which took us from the 12th to the 15th Centuries undoubtedly impressed the audience by the excellence of its approach to each individual item, be it by Thomas Tallis, Henry Purcell, Sir John Stainer, Henry Smart, Sir Edward Elgar, John Ire­ land or John Rutter. At a time when the stan­


dard of English church music has in many places descended from the trivial to the abysmal, it needs shouting from the hill tops that here in Clitheroe is a body of talented and dedi­ cated singers who can really sing - not drivel, but music of substance, with words that have meaning. Here is a choir where the contribu­ tion of each member is neatly balanced so that no single voice predominates over the general ensemble, where all keep an eye on the conductor, with the result that he, and they, and the audience, enjoy their singing and appreciate all the geat music they have heard. Congratulations! Four organ solos were


given, which not only gave the voices a well-earned rest for a few moments, but enabled both choir and audience to hear glorious music by some of the great­ est musicians of all time, thoughtfully and skilfully performed by James Lons­ dale. Douglas R. Carrington


Motor cycle thefts TWO motor cycles were stolen in the Ribble Valley over the weekend. An R-registered Aprilla

TZR 125 Sports disap­ peared from the main road through Grindleton. It is F- registered and valued at £800. Police are making inquiries.


Books taken


A BAG containing school books was stolen from a car parked off King Street, Whalley, on Thursday evening. Police believe the vehicle


was not locked and empha­ sise that casual thieves are likely to take anything they see from a vehicle which is easy to enter.
