GLOBETROTTING Clitheroe couple, Mr
Steuart and Mrs Anita Kellington, were in Nepal, the Orient and the Hebrides last week. Or, at least, audiences
who attended their lectures in various parts of the North West were. Mr and Mrs Kellington
have combined their love of travel with a love of lectur ing about their travels. Over the years they have built up
a repertoire of 35 different audio-visual presentations and are eagerly sought as lecturers. Their most recent lecture, one of the regular Clitheroe library lectures, was about two invasions of Normandy. The Erst began at dawn on June 6th 1944, and took the audience through such famous places as Avranches, Bayeux and StLo. This led the audience back to the days of William
the Conqueror, his birth place at Falaise, to Pevensy for the Battle of Hastings and back to Caen Cathe dral where William was buried. Mr Kellington, retired
