th a t the annual coffee evening on Wednesday, July 18th a t Teewood Farm House, Waddington, was an important event for the club. Without the money this event raised, it would be very difficult to stage such a successful annual

Christine follows her children’s example and proves it’s never too late!


Christine Moores went to work for the family business when she left school until she got married and had children. Later on in life she decided that she desperately wanted to take a degree and gain her cap and gown after watching her children go to university. After following up an advert for Women jnTechnology Course and completing it she then carried on and did a course in HND Business Information Technology. She is now teaching IT to adults with no experience of computers, she said, I absolutely love what I am doing now and my only regret is that I didn’t do it earlier.


before it was announced th a t the park was open again. The next visit is on June 13th to the Gardeners’ World Exhibition a t the National Exhibition Cen­ tre. This is being booked up

Bolton. He went into con­ siderable detail regarding basket types, moss lining, suitable plants, composts, fertilizers and watering methods. At the same time he was making up a mixed hanging basket of about 35 plants which he donated as a raffle prize. Mr Merrick also demon­


strated bag planting and discussed other containers such as towers, showing a very effective,one made from scrap materials. Many questions were


asked during and after the demonstration.


‘Golden’ calf sought for abbey mystery plays


ANYONE with a "golden" calf to spare is urgently required to make co n tac t with the organisers of


Whalley Abbey Mystery Plays 2001. The splendidly sculpted calf used in the previous pro­


ductions of the Mystery Plays has been inadvertently destroyed - not by foot and mouth - just wear and tear in


storage. All those who visited the 1996 Mystery Plays will


remember the calf, round and meaty and in tip-top condi­ tion to ensure he caught the fancy of Aaron and his follow-


rs.Now a replacement is being sought as rehearsals for this


year's plays go into full swing. The cast again tops the hundred mark and tickets for all


performances are on sale at the Tourist Information Cen­ tre, Clitheroe. For more details: 01200 445640.
