lage and other users of the hall hold it in great esteem. The fact that it was built in a time of great hardship by local people giving away their labour and materials, is not forgotten today. As a result, there is a great depth of feeling for the hall and the spirit through which it came


into being. Interestingly, the sur­


vey proved that the insti­ tute is used regularly by people living in 23 differ­ ent areas. Due to the outbreak of


children and young peo­ ple of Tosside, who attended a recent meet­ ing to discuss the future of the building, will also be on show. Each of the 19 young­


sters present put forward their visions of the new- look centre on detailed drawn plans. The exhibi­ tion will be open from 2


p.m. until late. Also at Tosside Insti­


tute on the same day will be a family barbecue, starting at 6 p.m. The event, being organised ■ by Tosside Social Com­ mittee, will take place whatever the weather. Everyone is welcome

A couple who met while working at Towneley Park, Burnley, were married in the rural setting of the Olde England Kiosk, Darwen. The bride, Louise Chappell, of Blackburn Road, Simonstone, is the elder daughter of Mrs Maryann Renton, of Waddington, and the late Mr Donald Chappell. She is a youth and community worker employed by Lancashire County Council. The bridegroom, Mr Gareth Huw Morgan, the


younger son of Mr and Mrs Graham and Ann Mor­ gan, of Burnley, is employed in ground maintenance by Burnley Borough Council and is a railway enthu­ siast. Both the bride and groom are keenly interest­ ed in environmental matters and chose garden and wild flowers for bouquets and to decorate the room. Given away by her stepfather, Mr John Renton,


the bride wore a full-length gown of ivory silk with a train and sequinned bodice. Her short veil was secured by a pearl bead and diamante coronet. Mrs Debbie Wearden, a friend of the bride, wear­


ing a deep turquoise full-length princess-style gown trimmed with pearl beading, was matron of honour. The bride's train was carried by three 10-year-


olds, her son, Josh, and friends Georgina Brooker and Charlotte Wearden. The girls wore dresses In the same style and colour as the matron of honour and Josh had a waistcoat to match. The best man was Mr Russell Carter, a colleague


of the bridegroom. The couple spent their honeymoon in Newquay


and are to live in Simonstone. Photo: Roy Chatburn, Darwen.
