a close relationship with the Methodist Church and we felt this was a good way of, not only raising funds, but also the profile of a charity which has always kept pace with the changing needs of the disadvan­ taged children of our society. Our aching feet are nothing compared to the trials endured daily by many children and young people who benefit from the support pro­

cause can send donations to Trinity Methodist Church, Parson Lane, Clitheroe or F. A. Allens Paint Shop, Parson Lane. The total number of strokes taken to


complete the 54 holes was 694. A competi­ tion was run on the eventual gross number of strokes, the prize being a dinner for two at the Mytton Fold Hotel. Pictured are Mr Hailwood, Mr Atkin­
