Coffee morning gets thumbs up
THE local foot and mouth emer gency did not cut support for the Ribble Valley Crossroads Caring for Carers coffee morning in the Mayor's Parlour. ' The organisation has a commit ment to the farming community just as much as to anyone else, and the fund-raiser was a great success, adding £300 to help carers. A bot tle tombola helped raise the money. Our picture shows Xanthe Tay
lor serving coffee to, from the left, committee member Ian Joyce, vice- chairman Tom McLean, manager Sue Siddall, helper Sarah Bleas- dale, Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Mrs Gwen Pye and Clitheroe Mayor Coun. Mrs Mary Robinson. , * (C020601/1)

Cheating on colleagues
PEOPLE fishing without a licence are cheating their fellow anglers, says the Environment Agency. " I t is stepping up its cam-, ipaign against evasion, espe- cially now that summer is here and a recent national survey found 10 per cent of people fishing did not have
a licence. Anyone who has reached
the age of 12 must have a licence, though there are concessionary rates to encourage the 12-16 year- olds to fish. The £15m.

Nile trip proves a treat for
A MEMORABLE trip sail ing along the River Nile was enjoyed by members of the. Probus Club when chairman, Mr Dan Brad bury, welcomed a most reg ular and talented speaker, fellow member Mr Cliff
Astin. He began by explaining
that Egypt, one of the cra dles of civilisation, is now probably the greatest tourist attraction of our time. Mr Astin is an anti quarian,-researcher and; photographer who'uses all these skills to assemble his material, and is then able to present his audience with a fascinating picture of the many wonders of this ancient world. Beginning in upper Egypt, at. Aswan with its modern dam; where a sail in a felucca presented photographic opportuni ties, he progressed down river to Abydos with its murals on ceilings and walls of the temples depicting Cleopatra and her son Cae sarian, still vivid in their original colours as for cen turies they have been below
ground level and protected from sunlight. In Abu Simbeljand Luxor
(Thebes) the temples of Rameses II, one of the best known of the Pharaohs, were visited and pho tographed. Continuing down river to Cairo, where its huge population of over 17 million now reaches the Pyramids, and Memphis, the old capital city.
• : v Mr Astin showed pho tographs of recent discover ies such as the tomb of the boy King Tutan-khamun, and the only unlooted tomb in Egypt, also a funeral boat discovered in 1934 and undisturbed for 4,500 years. Other remarkable pictures included the Crocodile God statue found near Memphis in 1967.’ Mr Paul Duck thanked
Mr Astin for a most memo rable talk. During the .business
meetings future activities and visits were discussed and reports given by social organiser Mr Eric Ronnan.

VISITORS to the Gardeners' World Live exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham next week will have expert advice from Ribble Valley gardener, nursery proprietor and broadcaster Mr Peter Foley. They will also be able to admire the magical quality of
statues produced by Coun. Philip Nierop, of Tile House, Bolton-by-Bowland, a near neighbour of Mr Foley's who will be showing his flower fairy statues, including Ins new statuette exhibited at Chelsea. Mr Foley, of Holden Clough Nursery, has teamed up
with a fellow exhibitor who has premises in North Wales located in a similar situation to Holden Clough. "She is on a dry hill; we are on a wet hill," he explains,
adding that both suffer from poor light conditions. . The exhibition opens on Wednesday and closes on Sun
day, June 17th.
