A DRIVE by two local brothers to have St George's Day obs­ erved locally gave the town cen­ tre a lift and raised money for


charity as well. Peter and Gavin McQuade from


Ribble Valley Coloured Glass can­ vassed tirelessly to persuade business­ es to display flags. Some donated as well and there was also a social aspect to the affair, with £525 being raised for the Macmillan nurses. The bfothers-are-very grateful to-


the Stirlands, of Clitheroe Market, Dawson's store and Peter, Sonia, Emma and all the staff from the Rose | and Crown, Clitheroe. "Let's hope we can make St George's I


Day even better next year and have more shops and businesses taking part," say the brothers. They even have ambitions to make the celebra- ] tion worthy of national note. Siobhan Kelly from the nurses'


group accepted the cheque from the j brothers and is pictured with them. (B290502/8)'

With the approval of train operator First North Western, Ribble Valley Rail arranged distribu­ tion of the brochures on trains in the run-up to the work and placed them around the area so that as many pas­ sengers as possible would know about the work. \ A Railtrack spokesman said: “This is a perfect example of the way this type of project should be handled. We planned it, our contractors delivered it, the train operator put on a reliable alternative service and the local rail user group told everyone all about it.
