Pendle tour A "Tour of Pendle" was


the subject of a most infor­ mative talk and slide show given by Mr Neil Whalley at Mitton WI. The area covered was


the necklace of villages from Wiswell via Down- ham to Barley, Newchurch and Sabden, as well as many interesting features across the moors and Pen­ dle Hill itself. Every pic­ ture revealed historical facts, and the photogra­ phy was excellent. Mrs Eleanor Friend proposed the vote of thanks. Vice-president Mrs D.


Balshaw had opened the meeting in the absence of the president, Mrs S. Mor­ gan. Guests and husbands were especially welcomed. Those present were told


that 10 members will be attending the spring coun­ cil at Southport and that Mrs E. Clarkson will be the delegate. The outings secretary, Mrs S.

of the Long White Cloud, covering his holiday trip on the North and South Islands. Mr Lawson delighted


his audience with slides of the countryside and flora seen during his travels, and described some of the Maori culture and the magnificent views. Mrs Jan Weisters


thanked Mr Pawson and recalled a time when she also visited New Zealand. A competition for an old

details of the seminar day being hosted by the WI in conjunction with "Shell Better Britain" in June. She demonstrated a

On Friday, residents were invited to see the town council regalia for themselves, with invitation by tick­ et in advance. The Mayoral "At


Homes" are always one of the highlights of the town Mayor's year of office and last week's events were no excep­ tion. Mayor Coun. Mrs Mary Robinson and her Consort, husband Mr David Robinson, enj­ oyed every moment and took the various oppor­ tunities to say a person­ al thank you to those who have supported them during their first year of office.
