Marathon pair have


raised £800 TH E London mar­ athon couple whose training schedule was closely followed by this newspaper in the run-up to the race • have raised £800 for : charity.


’ Mr Chris Barrow


and Miss Cheryl Mor- 1 ris chose to run for the 1 Friends of War Memo-'; rials and have now tot- ‘ ted up the proceeds from donations, spon- , sorship and the raffle of . outdoor equipment. Mr Barrow said: "The ■


race went well, as we , took it steady. The hard- ; est parts of the weekend were the driving to and , from the camp site a t ; Chingford, and the two ", hour bus trip into the London Arena to regis­


ter." Both said that they ■


enjoyed the run, though, ; as the level of support from crowds lining the route was so high. Miss Morris said:


"There were bands at the pubs and people cheering


us on all the way and handing out drinks and sweets. I t made the miles


of go by more easily." Mr Barrow said: " I t


was one of the best things I've ever done. The whole experience was great." Sir Donald Thomp­


son, Director General of Friends of War Memori­ als, will be travelling to Clitheroe later in the month to receive a cheque from the couple. The charity maintains


war memorial structures and gardens, and by doing so preserves the memory of the sacrifice made by earlier genera­ tions of military person­ nel, most of whom were very young. The couple would like


to thank everyone who supported them and con­ tributed funds for the .charity.

New chairman is likely for


parish council


A..QHANGE of. chairman is likely a t tonight's meeting of Whalley Parish Coun­ cil.


; .Coun; .Eric Ronnan


plans to step, down after four years in the post and it is expected he will be.replaced by Coun. Martin Highton. Although parish coun­


cil powers in any village are limited, Whalley's owns several key areas of land, including the cen­ tral Vale Gardens and bus station. ■ ,’Many people have


criticised the councillors for refusing to allow part of the gardens to be used for'ear parking. Coun. Highton says he does not see this changing, but pledges the council will continue to look for a long-stay car park site. Coun.Ronnan has


been chairman since 1998‘and also held the


- post'fro’m 1985-6 and 1994m. ! He came to Whalley


in 1959,'ran a plumbing business for many years and has been a councillor continuously since 1979. All seats on the council are "up for election next year. A keen table-tennis


player," Gouri. Ronnan reached the last 16 of the RAF championship dur­ ing his national service and has been closely associated with the vil­ lage table-tennis club.


■ ■ - :?■ ■ Coun. Highton has


strong sporting connec­ tions. His wife and two daughters are keen com­ petitors and the family are all involved in the various - pentathlon sports. A stocktaker to the


licensed trade, Coun. Highton works all over the North but is able to juggle his travels with family commitments and still find time for council duties. Like Coun. Ronnan, he lives only a short 'distance from the centre of the village. A fellow councillor,


who did not want to be named, said: "Everyone is grateful to Eric for his sincerity and the many hours he has put in. "Martin has a brisk


approach to life and it will be interesting to see how things work out. "This change of chair­


man and 12-month run­ up to elections are hap­ pening a t a time when the Government is try­ ing to put more power back in local hands. I t could be th a t parish councils in places like Whalley will become more'important and attract more candidates for places."


Woodland switch to archery club


AN. application for woodland to have a change of use to a recreational area has been approved by councillors. . .^Members of Oak Leaf Bowman archery club have applied to site a field archery course and shed-sized club house in Bridge Hey Wood, Read. Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning and


Development Committee have permitted the change'of,use after hearing how the club members cleared tipped rubbish from the woodland and near- bybrook.


' Fencing has been fitted for safety and security


round the 14 target course, and the club has received support for its environmental concern regarding the woodland. .


TV star plans to conquer four of the highest peaks for charity


by Vivien Meath


EXCHANGING his TV police uniform for running gear shortly is actor John McArdle, star of the popu­ lar B BC police drama


"Merseybeat". The Bolton-by-Bowland resi­


dent is taking part in the Wood­ en Spoon Society's Vauxhall Four Peaks Challenge in July. With three team mates, he will be looking to conquer four of the highest mountains in Eng­ land, Scotland, Wales and Ire­ land inside 48 hours. His preparation began well,


with a charity fund-raising goal achieved with a little help from Michael Owen, Stephen Ger- rard and the rest of the Liver­ pool football team. Mr McArdle and his three


friends, who are set to scale the peaks to raise money for dis­ abled and disadvantaged chil-


: dren, raised £6,000 at a single event in the village hall earlier, this year. I t included an auction of donated items including a Nick Barmby shirt signed by the Liverpool squad. The team now faces two


more months of tough training, clocking up the miles to be at the very peak of fitness for the non-stop charity challenge.' They must run up and down Scotland’s Ben Nevis, Helvel- Iyn in England, Snowdon in Wales and South West Ireland’s Carantouhill to succeed. The actor, who also starred in


Channel Four’s soap "Brook- side" as Billy Corkhill for four years and has appeared in award winning dramas such as "Prime Suspect V", is combin­ ing his rigorous training routine


: while filming the second series . of Merseybeat.


with his busy work schedule :


His team includes Iain Har-


■ ris, sales director of outdoor . clothing and equipment compa­ ny Karrimor which sponsors the. event, Iain’s wife, Helen, and friend Colin Darlington. . Mr McArdle was inspired to


take up running after appearing in B BC l ’s "Born to Run". He said: “We staged a fantastic event in.our home village of Bolton-by-Bowland and had more than 180 guests in the vil­ lage hall. Phil Thompson at Liverpool presented us with Nick Barmby’s signed shirt and it fetched £400 in the auction. We also auctioned a signed cricket bat from the Lancashire team, as well as hotel weekends and other things that were donated by guests on the night. Liverpool band Chez and Chase


played for us, with Ray Bran­ don on saxophone. We would like to thank everyone who gave so generously, to support this very worthwhile cause.” .: Mr Darlington will drive the


team a total of 1,900 miles from peak to peak during the 13th annual Vauxhall Four Peaks Challenge from July 4th to 6th. In the past five years the event has raised around £2 million for Wooden Spoon projects across the country. Each team is sup­ plied with a Vauxhall vehicle for the duration of the event. : Rugby legend ' Dean


Richards, who won the Grand Slam with England and is now director.of rugby at 'Heineken Cup champions Leicester Tigers, has also entered a team in the event and among the sponsors is Brockhall-based Sci­ ence in Sport.


Pub pockets cash for air ambulance


Search for boundary marker


THE hunt is on for a missing county bound­ ary marker which has disappeared from the side of the A59. Members of the Unite


Craven group placed the sign, which denotes the Lancashire-Yorkshire border, on the bridge parapet where the A59 crosses the county beck near Smithies Farm, but it has vanished. I t was sited to replace


an old stone marker that was removed when the road was widened. In a letter to the chief executive of the Man­


chester-based Highways Agency, Mr Geoff Hoyle, chairman of the Unite Craven group, says: "As you know the county border crossings have been marked for cen­ turies and still exist for instance where lettering is engraved in the stonework of bridges. So we feel it is important to retain these symbols of our heritage." He believes the blame


for the marker's disap­ pearance lies with the Highways Agency and asks for the sign to be returned, if the agency was indeed responsible for its removal. "Perhaps your staff thought it was incorrectly placed since a sign at the administra­ tive boundary of Lan­ cashire County Council misleadingly says 'Wel­ come to Lancashire'", writes Mr Hoyle. "But you must be aware that the Government has stated clearly that the traditional boundary which we are marking remains unaffected by the 1974 changes to local Government." He concludes by say­


A PUB pool contest in Clitheroe has raised chari­ ty cash which has been matched by a Southport department store. The knockout competition


at the Buck Inn, Lower- gate,was well supported by "regular players and locals.
