' The programme from this ver­ satile artist will include popular and folk music as well as classical pieces and is designed to offer an evening of musical entertainment for. everyone.- The idea for the concert came :


from Maxine's father, Mr Max Molin, who lives in Chatburn. He responded to fliers placed round the village by Mr John Ridgeway, chairman of the Chatburn and District Community Centre, who is leading the efforts to raise funds. for the new village hall. Mr Ridgeway said: "I was ask­


ing for ideas and Max stepped for­ ward. I hope it will encourage everyone to do the same and help


us. It will be a great event in Chatburn. We hope to have many more and this one will start them off with a bang." .

Best-kept award for Valley almshouses


THE warden of Waddington Hospital. Almshouses is delighted that it won a "best


kept" award. In this year's Lancashire Best Kept Village


competition, the building won the certificate of merit in the "any other special feature" class.

with the result. A team of residents, supported by a gar­


dener and handyman, is responsible for look­ ing after the gardens and main entrance, making them attractive for visitors. The properties themselves are maintained by Richard Pallister. . The team's hard work caught the eye of the


competition's judges. An award ceremony will take place in West Bradford on October 26th when Harrop Fold will also receive its prize for winning the Best Kept Hamlet class.
