Plan to fill former quarry at Gisburn


A PLANNING appli­ cation to fill a former quarry off the A59 at Gisburn was due to be considered yesterday. The Development


Control Committee of Lancashire County Council was recom­ mended to approve the use of 6,000 tonnes of compacted stone, clay and road workings to match the contours of a field 250 metres on the Skipton side of Gisburn. The inert waste mate­


rial would be tipped over a two-year period, with six months of


restoration and five years of aftercare follow­


ing. The hollow is due to


ancient quarrying oper­ ations, and filling it in will provide a uniform slope for livestock to


graze. In their report, offi­


cials said that a single road to the quarry, plus a hard standing area, would not be detrimen­


tal to the area. They suggested con­


ditions covering wheel cleaning, access, hours of work, aftercare and other matters.


French group’s meeting


THE next meeting of Le Cercle Francais de Rib blesdale is on Monday evening at Whalley Abbey. Members and guests will review French popular


songs from 1930-60 and there will be anecdotes to go with them. Inquiries can be made to Janet Taylor


on 01254 878656.

Martial arts couple throw weight behind fund-raising


THE bid to buy a wheel­ chair for cerebral palsy sufferer Tina Stevenson has been boosted by a fund-raising night at the Trinity


Centre,


Clitheroe. Diane and Christo­


pher Pate raised more than £300 with a spon­ sored hip throw and fiery board break. Martial arts expert


Mr Pate used his hands, feet, elbows and head to chop his way through 50 planks. His wife broke her own


record by karate-throw­ ing 27 club members in under a minute. The next fund-raising effort will be a charity


night at the Craven Heifer, Whalley Road, Clitheroe, on Thursday, November 15th, when Kickstart will provide the live music and Satch will perform a comic rou­


tine. There will also be an


auction for which the top lot so far is a helicopter flight for three people. Among the other lots


is a football signed by Manchester City players and a signed photograph of Liverpool's Robbie


Fowler. Organisers are offering

(P51101/6) Laura’s curtain-raiser


IT is almost a case of curtain-up at a Clitheroe church, thanks to local author Mrs Laura Bailey. Through the sale of her book "All the Days of My


Life", she has raised £600 for curtains at Low Moor Parish Hall. The drapes have now been ordered and are expected to be hung within weeks. Presses have had to roll for a third time to keep up with demand for a book which follows Mrs Bailey's


life from her birth in County Durham, through time spent in London and her arrival in Hurst Green in 1956.


Initially, the mother-of-two had 100 copies printed . . J


but, following the appearance of an article in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, a reprint was need­ ed within a week.

started from Clapham church and Long Lane, with slides of the dints and grikes of the lime­ stone pavement around Crummackdale and Clapperdale There were views of


Ingleborough, Pen-y- Ghent and the walk along the base of Whem- side. Winter weather


turned waterfalls into ice palaces and a light dust­ ing of snow accentuated the forms of landscapes left behind as a result of the ice age. Spring brought the


flowers - bird's eye prim­ rose, herb Paris and pur­ ple saxifrage - high up on the mountains. The pot­ holes of Hunt Pot, Gap­ ing Ghyll and Rowton Pot made sinister slashes into the hillside. Moving to Dentdale,


Mr Cumbus brought sights of softer landscape - meadows colourful


with drifts of flowers and a glimpse of the viaducts of the Settle to Carlisle railway. The pictorial tour then


reached Wensleydale, with the dramatic waters of Aysgarth falls, celandines carpeting the banks and woodlands. The waterfalls above


Askrigg, the shortest river in the country, the Bain, and the ruins of Jervaulx Abbey were included before the route led to Nidderdale. Plant­ ed bright flowers at Pate- ley Bridge and the grotesque forms of Brimham Rocks made striking pictures. Mr Cumbus had a spe­


cial love for buttercup meadows and "just one more" became his motto. The most recent slides were of Swaledale, from Thwaite down the Swale, in beautiful autumn light taken only the Sunday before. Chairman Mr Don


Lloyd thanked the speaker for the views taken on many walks in the Dales. The next lecture at Clitheroe Library will be on Thursday at 7-30 p.m., when the speaker will be Mr Lance Gor­ man and his subject will be "The Ramblings of an Invertebrate Photogra­ pher".

Town councillors demand delay to Castle tree felling


“ TIME out” is being demanded on tree felling at Clitheroe Castle. Members of Clitheroe


Town Council branded as "totally unrealistic" a Monday deadline to respond to the proposed felling of a further seven


trees as phase two of Ribble Valley Borough


I Council's controversial Clitheroe Castle Restoration


and


Improvement Project. Phase one of the


scheme has already led to 20 trees around the Castle Keep being given the chop, with two oth­ ers extensively pruned and one stump ground


out. Having been given


I their deadline in a bor­ ough council letter dated Friday, November 2nd, which they received on Bonfire Night, town councillors are angry,


according to their


spokesman. He explained: "Coun­


cillors feel that they are being allowed insuffi­ cient time for the mean­ ingful and serious con­ sideration of the fate of these additional trees. The deadline is totally unrealistic in terms of formulating a sensible


response. "The borough council


has already received a considerable amount of


flak about the consulta­ tion


procedures


employed in relation to the first phase of the tree felling work. This dead­ line can only make mat­


ters worse." O As we went to press


on Wednesday, council­ lors heard that the bor­ ough council had agreed to their request for an extension of the deadline to November 30th.


Pendle Club


WINNERS of the bridge session at the Pen­ dle Club were: Mrs E. Velvick and Mrs F. Had- field, Mrs D. Farnsworth and Miss K. Bulcock. New members are wel-


• come at the sessions, held every Monday at 1- 30 p.m. Solo whist winners at


the club were: Mr R. Knight, Mr A. Leonard, Mrs E. Lancaster. New players are wel­


come each Monday at 7- 30 p.m.


Denies theft


A CHATBURN man has denied stealing meat worth £250 from his employers, Rose County Foods, Sawley. Simon Richard Taylor


(37), of Stonebridge Mews, Chatburn, appeared before magis­ trates at Blackburn. He entered a not


guilty pie and the case was adjourned until November 21st.


Slim group’s clothes sale


A GROUP of ladies who meet regularly at Whal­


ley Methodist Hall real­ ly mean it when they say they have not got a thing to wear. A lot of their clothes


will be coming up for sale when they meet on Wednesday, and the profits will go to the Der- ian House Children's Hospice. The clothes on sale


will be the ones which, because of their Wednes­ day night Weight Watchers classes, are now too big for them. Between them, the


ladies have lost a massive 2,8751b. so far this year.
