of shopping where, all under one roof, people who like to know how long beef has been hung, people who are strict vegetarians or vegans, people who have allergies or people who are com­ mitted to organic pro­ duce can check their con­ cerns with the actual producers," says Mr Robert Parker, manag­ ing director of Clitheroe Auction Mart. "We are very pleased


that the market is now set to open after the delays caused by foot and mouth. "This market is mak­


ing good news and we are very confident of strong support, as we believe that people will welcome


goods of high quality freshness and produced by a combination of tra­ ditional skills and mod­ ern standards." The very modern sur­


roundings of the hall lend themselves to the high standards the mart, the retailers and the pub­ lic will take for granted. There is plenty of room for the necessary refrig­ erators, chill cabinets and similar equipment. Although Wednesday


evenings see the weekly general goods auction and sale, there is plenty of time and space for the farmers' market to oper­ ate earlier in the day. There is room for hun­


dreds of cars to park out­ side the building and


access is easy from all


directions. This exciting new


quality-plus-value shop­ ping opportunity will be a tremendous draw for people from far and wide - there is still plenty of time for autumn tourists to benefit.


The idea raises aware­


ness of the positive con­ tribution agriculture makes to the country­ side, and there is strong backing from Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council, Northern Rural Train­ ing, the Bowland Initia­ tive and local businesses.

Pub regulars ‘jump to it’ to help raise cash for cancer victim Rebecca (11)


REGULARS at the White Hart pub, Sabden, dug deep into their pockets and helped raise money


for a young cancer victim. A charity night was organised to


follow on from a parachute jump completed by friends Mark Avery, Wayne and Jordan Love, Dave Capstick and Steven Hickey.


A bumper £1,100 was collected 1


in total from the two events and this money will go towards help­ ing the parents of 11-year-old Rebecca Baxter, of Great Har­


wood. Mark is a friend of Rebecca s


family and he enlisted the help of the pub's landlady, Mrs Janine


Robinso , o e su e

People before policy* plea leads to councillors approving home bid


COUNCILLORS accepted a planning consultant's plea to "put people before policy" on


a rural housing issue. One member of Ribble Valley


Borough Council's Planning and Development Committee declared: " I am very dubious


I about the whole thing." i However, the committee decided by an eight votes to five decision to allow a former holi­ day-let only cottage in Easing- ton Road, Slaidburn, to contin­ ue to be lived in by an employee of the shooting and riding busi­ ness estate in which it is located.


P & ig d a l e Nutrition


f ' would like to support the farming community in these difficult times in agriculture


1 Speaking on behalf of the busi- | ness, planning consultant Mrs I Janet Dixon indicated that the


employee had an important role in it. Its use for such an occupation was a bigger help to building up the venture than a holiday let. Officials urged refusal of the


. .


application to change the use, say­ ing that the dwelling was a conver­ sion to holiday accommodation passed relatively recently. A new building for letting would


probably have not been allowed and permanent residence in the property amounted to creating a dwelling in open countryside. But Coun. Rosemary Elms


(Bowland) said that local employ­ ment would be kept by allowing the application. "There is always a lack of affordable housing," she


pointed out. Coun. Harry Backhouse


(Waddington) declared that he


did not believe that much of a. precedent would be set by allow­ ing the use. I t would help tourism - and the applicants had been hon­ est, which not all owners were. But Coun. Graham Sowter


,< i _ l 1 _12 Ftint m nnl


(Billington) said that they must: enforce their policy of no new dwellings in the countryside. He was supported by Coun. Frank; Dyson (Cltheroe), who said that while he had sympathy with the. personal aspects of the case he was; "dubious about the whole thing". However, the application was;


allowed on a vote. O Two other applications for


use changes of rural properties, from agricultural worker only to ordinary residential, were deferred because reports were not available.

could be entered. The result was fascinating and it was


I The black and white folio of the Lan- I cashire and Cheshire Photographic I Union offered high-quality pictures and 1 an excellent taped commentary, mak- I ing for an entertaining and instruction-


I I al evening.


Of particular interest was the emer- I I gence of the "Creative" class in the com-


I for the first time. This is a fairly contro- I versial response to those who consider I the more manipulated computer


petition and the associated folio, seen


I images out of place in a normal photo- 1 graphic competition. J The twist was that any manipulated


I image, whether made on a computer, 1 created in the darkroom or even within I the camera by special lenses or filters,


difficult to guess just which technique was used for some of the entries. The computer manipulations were often


both simple and beautiful - one appar­ ent pen and ink drawing, derived from a photograph, was particularly striking. Next week, the first of the '^Winter


Series" competitions will be judged. Each member can enter four prints and four slides. This is an excellent time for new members to have work assessed by a judge and see other people's interests


and skills. New members are always welcome


on any Tuesday evening. More infor­ mation is available from the chairman, Steve Ashcroft, on 01995 61062, or Press officer Ken Geddes on 01200 423474.
