MORE than £150 was raised by the annual


turkey tea in Whalley. As usual, the Methodist church hosted the event


and men from there, the parish church and the Eng­ lish Martyrs RC Church prepared and served the meal.1' Afterwards there were songs from the shows by


Frances Prince and Jim Parker, with George Clark­ son at the piano. Nearly 70 people were present but, by a co-inci­


dence, the three clergymen who would have attend­ ed were all involved in service duties elsewhere. Our picture shows Mr Keith Mitchell, right, who


was in charge of the cooking, with some of the other helpers and a few guests. .(T250202/5)
