A P R OMIN E N T Clitheroe personality in retail and sporting cir­ cles for most of his life, Mr Tom Kendal Harg­ reaves has died at the


age of 87. Up to recent months, he


was a familiar figure local­ ly and many people remember seeing him walking round the town


and over Salt Hill with his collie in previous times. Mr Hargreaves was born


a t the Moorcock Inn, Waddington, kept at that time by his grandfather, Mr Thomas Kendal, a Ribble Valley personality. The family later moved


to Clitheroe, where Mrs Hargreaves' mother ran a


shop in Wellgate. After his marriage, Mr


Hargreaves started his own bakery in Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, and he and his wife ran it on traditional lines until retiring in 1971. Mrs Barbara Hargreaves


took charge of the shop dur­ ing the war, when her hus­ band had an unusual role in the D-Day preparations. He was posted to the


south coast and he and col­ leagues went for long peri­


ods without sleep to ensure enough supplies of bread to feed the many thousands of troops who crossed to


oioor, tn pnstire


France. A keen cricketer in his


younger days, Mr Harg­ reaves was a noted fielder and bowler for Clitheroe CC in the Ribblesdale


League. More recently he fol­ lowed his wife as a golfer,


and the couple have had a long


connection with


Clitheroe Golf Club. Mr Hargreaves once played a


hole in one there. The couple's son, Mr


Peter Hargreaves, a char­ tered accountant, jointly founded Hargreaves Lans- down, one of Britain s largest independent stock­ brokers. He lives in Bristol with his wife and two chil­


dren. Civic visit for Eva’s 90th birthday ISounds of

yesteryear jazz heard by Probus


AFTER chairman Mr Tom Duff welcomed members and guests to the Probus Club, almoner Mr Alec Wright asked those present to stand for a minute's silence to remember fellow member Mr John Brierley,


who died last week. Mr Duff introduced


guest speaker Mr Atholl Timmins, of Burnley, who looked back to the jazz years in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, largely allowing record­ ings by the swing musicians of the time to tell his story. A special ear was needed to appreciate either jazz or modern pop music, though exceptional musical talent was easily recognised by the


audience. Recordings were played


of famous musicians -


Benny. Goodman, probably the best-known big band leader of the time, whose music in 1938 was recorded using only one centrally located microphone in Carnegie Hall; Fletcher Henderson and his Connie's Hill Orchestra played "Blue Skies”; and the expertise of trumpeter Harry James and drummers Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, was heard in an arrangement by Quincey Jones.

Western's line manager, for his enthusiasm and support in planning the services. Mr Moore emphasised


the developing connections with other user groups through the north wesband in Yorkshire in presenting a united front. This was both for improved rail services and for achieving the group's aspiration of open­ ing the line north of Clitheroe to I-Iellifield. Although admitting his


own lack of knowledge regarding the new technolo­ gies, Mr Moore expressed his delight that Ribble Val­ ley Rail was again leading the, way by the establish- meptlof its own website. This promoted not only the locahrail service, but the Ribble Valley area as a


'' whole, he emphasised. Mr Moore went on to


express his pleasure and pride th a t the Clitheroe


Interchange had received the Rail Business Award for the most innovative trans­ port development of the year at a recent ceremony


in London. He also praised First


North Western, whose managing director Mr David Franks, was voted manager of the year at the same awards, with four commendations for the


company. "I feel very proud that


Ribble Valley Rail was the only user group thoughout- Britain to have had a repre­ sentative invited to the awards," declared Mr


Moore. He went on to praise the


work of the former hon­


orary secretary, Mr David Butterworth, who had stepped down in the autumn. He added th a t RVR was pleased that his expertise would not be lost,

membership secretary’ Mr Bill Briggs that there were 270 members of the group, living as far apart as Gretna and Kent. There were only 16 non-renewals during the year - the first membership request through the website had been received. The continued fight to re­


open the north end of the line created a need for more members from the Riming- ton, Gisburn and Hellifield areas, commented Mr Brig­
