THE Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety has announced the release of new figures from Lan-. cashire magistrates' courts which show th e re h a s been a 5% decrease in the number of people , losing their licences over the last year, ( to th e end of March, 2 0 0 2 ) . '


' Proceedings were sta rted Poppy’s card heads for palace


BUDDING young a r t is t Poppy Rushton has had her jubilee card sent to the Queen after being picked as the winner of our design-a-card competi­ tion." Six-year-old Poppy, who attends St


John the Baptist RC Primary School in Padiham, was presented with an art set courtesy of W.H. Smith, and a replica of her card by Lord Shuttle- worth at a school assembly. Her card was voted the best in a


readers' poll when we published the entries for our special competition to


celebrate the Queen's jubilee year. East Lancashire Newspapers' Mrs


Sharon Crymble said: "We had more than 200 entries, so Poppy has done really well to come out on top. The designs of the cards were outstanding and people wanting to see the cards can do so at the customer care office in Charter Walk, Burnley." The competition was run in the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times along with th e re s t of E a s t Lancashire Newspapers’ titles.


Busy time for camera buffs


A FLURRY of activity heralded the close of the Ribblesdale Camera Club's winter season. First there was a cof­


fee morning held in the Mayor’s Chambers by permission of the Mayor-of Clitheroe, Coun. Mrs Mary Robinsbn, who wel­ comed the many guests. The event raised £150 for club funds and was enjoyed by both mem­ bers and passers-by who went along for coffee or to natter about photog­ raphy. Tuesday's meeting


entering, Ribblesdale is nearly th e final club, increasing the tension as good marks were obtained by the "usual suspects", Accrington, Bury and Darwen. In the event, Ribbles­


dale need not have wor­ ried, as good scores were awarded to th e club's entry, which brought them among th e top group. The biggest event of a


was the black and white folio of the Inter-Club Photographic Alliance, a mainly E a s t Lan­ cashire grouping of pho­ tographic clubs. As the judge considers the prints in the alphabeti­ cal order of th e clubs
