Refused


PLANS for a side extension to be built at a house in Clayton-le- Dale have been refused. The application for 48


St Peter's Close was seeking consent for an extension to accommo­ date a garage, utility and kitchen, as well as a bed­ room and bathroom. Members of Ribble


Valley Borough Coun­ cil's Planning and Devel­ opment Committee agreed with officer rec­ ommendations to turn down the application.

IF you were not in the Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Clith­ eroe, last Thursday, Friday or Saturday you missed the thespi­ an treat of the season, writes


Dennis Ogden. Ten members of th e T r in i ty


Drama Group attained professional s ta n d a rd s when th ey delivered “Wedding of the Year,” by Norman


Robbins. The large audience was kept con­


vulsed as misunderstanding followed misunderstanding, insults flew and characters appeared somewhat the worse for wear after several off-stage


calamities. The meticulous attention to detail


of the set made it one of the best seen in a long series of excellent productions


by the group. Backed by a large behind-the-scenes


team the producer was Helen Coles. What was it about? A confusion of


marriage plans, two black eyes, a demolished listed building, a far-too- small wedding dress, - it was that sort of play, but it all made hilarious sense


at the time. If you ever get another chance, go


and see i t ! Pictured during rehearsals are mem­


bers of the cast: Richard Atkinson, Pat Bowker, Hazel Hailwood, Bridget Smith, Daryl Dewhurst, Gillian Moore, Kim Croydon, Joan Willock, Anita Kellington, Norman Hornby. (T221001/11)

More spectacular thi­


ngs were to follow. A ski slope with some bumpy ground soon had the existing skiers removed and a picture of Mr Bar- tie's son, in full ski gear but sitting on the club table, was cut out from its background and posi­ tioned on top of the snow scene. An artificial shadow was then added and the final picture merged to give a spectac­ ular action shot of a ski


jumper. Unethical? Only if the


picture was claimed to be a s traig h t, factual one, taken as it hap­ pened. Otherwise it is a clever shot showing what once happened but not photographed or just a fantasy about what could happen. Next week there will

NOT enough Ribble Valley residents are claiming government grants which could


help keep their homes warm this winter. Less than 10% of the 3,241 households thought to


be eligible for money under the Warm Front Grant scheme have so far received their entitlement. To check their eligibility, Ribble Valley residents


can ring 0800 316 6015. As well as being worth up to £2,000 per house­


hold, the grants could also result in improvements which may help reduce ongoing heating bills. To qualify, applicants must own their own home or live in private rented accommodation.

began, a wide range of books have been read. These range from well- known fiction titles and classic literature to con­ temporary novels, travel and biography. At the first meeting


the group discussed George Orwell's 198U and While Teeth by Zadie Smith. At the la tes t gathering, A House for Mr Biswas by V.S. Naipaul was one of the subjects. A total of 12 titles have been covered and the group intends to include plays and some

THE England Under 21 skipper, David Dunn, dropped in to a Blackburn Rovers soccer school in Cli­


theroe. More than 600 young­

holiday soccer schools were held on a "first come, first served" basis in Blackburn, Citheroe and Hyndburn - and everything was free. Mr Mick Brennan,


Rovers’ assistant com­ munity officer, said: "We have had our most suc­ cessful summer season ( ever and we saw this as one way of putting something back into the community.
