SNOWY the Teddy proved a big draw at Slaidburn Parish Church's annual sale
of work. Visitors to the event,
held in the church hall, queued to guess his name in an effort to win him. While our picture shows him (right) with a posse of admirers, who are, from the left, Michael and Steven Roberts, Anna Cowperthwaite and Rosemary Baines, the cute, cuddly bear eventually left with
Mrs Jean Parker. Other attractions

US". This was a comedy/mystery play written by Alan Ayckbourn The set, created by the character the appar-
frump.sh everything is —.......
John Wilkinson and David King and lit by Martin Butters, immedi ately gave us the feeling for the action of the play. This takes place in the Chalke family residence and what a family! Mor timer Chalke, head of the family, owner of the house and holder of the purse strings - a prime candidate for a murder. A failed composer and musician. His piano playing at the opening of the play had to be heard to be believed. This char acter was played very well by Eddie Bootle, giving it the right amount of domination and eccentricity. Dorothy Cushing was
’ ent control, and then the uncertainty needed to
make it plausible. Amy, the teenage
daughter of Joycelyn, was portrayed by Emma White and what a por trayal! A typically surly
"don't want to do any thing","couldn't care less" aggressive teenager, not to mantion the clothes worn to shock. Emma played this very well, but also managed to give us a glimpse of a very unhappy and caring
young lady. The final member oi
the family, brother Brin- ton, also a failure as an artist, was excellently played by Michael O’Ha-
his gentle sister, Joycelyn Polegate, desperately trying to keep the peace among all the family. A failed actress, Dorothy portrayed this character beautifully, giving her the mystic of hidden
depths. Her partner, Norris
Honeywell, another fail ure, this time as a pri vate detective, was very effectively played by Brian Howarth. He gave
gan. As soon as he opened
his mouth, we were with the character - weak and seeming vulnerable and
very sensitive. Into this unusual and
rather strange family walked Wendy Wind- wood, a long-ago pupil of Mortimer's brought to the house by Mortimer supposedly to inherit everything. This charac ter was very well played by Lesley Howarth, a

s ch o o lg ir l Thea Smith was reaching for the stars during a recent aud it ion in
Manchester. The 12-year-old Rib-
blesdale High School Technology College
pupil queued for three hours at the Lowry to showcase her singing tal ents for a place in S Club Juniors and a possible performance at the Wembley Arena in Feb
ruary. Thea, a pupil at the
Ribble Valley-based Gladys Sutcliffe Theatre School for the past
decade, joined thousands of other wannabe pop- star performers at the Salford Quays venue. Although she made it through to the last 15, her rendition of the S Club 7 song "Natural" did not strike a chord with the final panel who included a CBBC pre senter and TV music judge Nicky Chapman. However, Thea said
she was not disappointed with the final outcome. "The people that got through had quieter I voices whereas mine is more powerful, so I am told," she said.

PUPILS at Brookside Primary School raised £2,200 for the NSPCC through their harvest
festival. The service was con
ducted by the Rev. Chris Cheeseman and was attended by parents and
friends of the school. A representative for
the charity visited the
school earlier in the term and told the pupils about the work carried out by the NSPCC. The pupils were invited to take part in a Sponsored Spell and Colouring in
order to raise money for the charity. Their £2,200 was one of the largest amounts raised by a school of its size. The children also took in gifts of fruit, vegetables, flow ers, plants and tins of food for the harvest festi- val. After the service these gifts were dis- tibuted by children, par ents or staff to ederly or
ill people. The headteacher
received many letters and telephone calls of thanks from the recipi
ents.
Clitheroe Ramblers head for Wycoher
THE Pendle village of Wycoller was the desti nation for Clitheroe Ramblers on Saturday. In damp and misty
conditions, the walkers left the village over the clapper bridge and took a permitted path to the top of Turnhole Clough. The group then fol
lowed the Pendle Way to the Coldwell Reser voirs and had an early lunch in the shelter of a barn along the way. The ramblers then headed north to Trawden where the old tram
tracks were still visible. Still in mist and rain,
they left Trawden to return to Wycoller, cross ing Trawden Beck to reach Far Wanless, Alderbarrow and Lodge
Hill. After a gentle climb, . u
they descended to Bank House and then took the Bronte Way back into the village, where the rain had finally stopped and the mist began to
clear. The next walk is on
Sunday, meeting at the Chester Avenue car park
at 9 a.m.

fine” young lady, but again Lesley was able to convey that there was something more to this person than met the eye. The opening of the
play was perhaps a little slow, until we were intro duced to all the charac ters and their relation ships with each other. It then moved along at
a good pace, with come dy, pathos, tradegy and mystery. In fact, the mystery was never solved — who did kill Mortimer Clarke? We will all have our own views and opinions. Mel Scorah, the direc
tor, along with the play ers and backstage crew, gave us a very entertain ing, if thoughtful, even ing and kept us interest ed until the end. Not always an easy object to
achieve. Terry Till
Many emotions — but who did kill Mortimer Clarke?
