Men-only clubs are still legal, despite the sex discrimination legislation. In some places, women wanting to make a point rushed into the homophobic issue as soon as the law was changed. But no one wanted to make a point in Read quite so quickly, although a good many of the women associate mem­

River Ribble pictures are wanted from children


AN a r t competition for primary school pupils is the latest way of marking the importance of the environment. The Ribble Valley Initia­


tive is asking youngsters to crayon or paint a picture of the River Ribble, with an environmental theme. • "It can be of any scene along the river, either as it is now or as it was in the past, which helps make people realise its importance," says project officer Lesley Cryer.


tive concentrates on the waterway itself, rather than the local government area. It seeks to protect, improve and enhance the river and the surrounding environ­ ment for the enjoyment of present and future genera­ tions, and is supported by giant services provider United Utilities. Another big company, BAE Sys­ tems, which has a large facility just inside the Rib­ ble Valley, is sponsoring the competition. Granthams of
