Church goers spend Sunday timelhinking about their own eco-friendly mortality
THE bright summer Sunday morning congregation at a Ribble Valley village church spent a few minutes thinking of their own mortality. St John’s Church, Hurst Green,
has joined the church’s eco-friend ly movement - but doing so has numerous aspects, as the congre gation were reminded by visiting preacher the Rev. Sam Randall. He has special responsibility for
eco and allied matters in the Brad ford Diocese, and emphasised the
importance of everyone playing their part. Mr Randall explained how he had
already bought and suitably deco rated his own eco-friendly coffin, encouraging others to do the same. A “Creation Celebration” was put
GARDEN1MAKERS
on by adults and children, using numerous “props”, song, prose and prayer to celebrate the wonders of the world. The service proved very thought-provoking and repaid the efforts put into it. Our picture shows some of those
who took part with, on the loft, lay reader Mr Geoff Dearden and Mr Randall. (T020603/1)

Residents dig deep to raise money for new village hall
THERE are only 14 houses and one pub in the village of Tosside, but they have still managed to clock up £440,000 to build a new village hall. The marathon fund-raising effort by one
of the Ribble Valley’s smallest communities has taken years, but now villagers are ready to go out to tender, hoping to start building in August. The redevelopment means th a t next
week’s dance, one of several held each month in the old hall during the last 30 years, will be the “Last Tango in Tosside” for some time, and an excuse for villagers to celebrate the end of a hard money-raising slog. They have managed to obtain some of
the money from Europe, some from the lot tery and grants from local authorities. They have raised £14,000 themselves.

HE post office and shop in Old Row, The existing hall is only 35 years old,
having been built of concrete panels reclaimed from the post-war prefabricated houses programme. I t replaced an even older wooden building which served Tos side for many years. Mr Eddie Runswick, secretary of the
committee, said the new, larger building would cater for the existing dances, bowl ing and youth dubs, but also be able to pro vide expanded services, like day sessions for older people in the area. He said that although the village itself
was small, there was a population of 300 living in the catchment area for the new hall, which would serve people living in an area of 60 square miles. That was why they were able to qualify for such large grant aid.

the market for three years. A planning application is being made to Ribble Valley Borough Council to use the shop as part of the living accommodation. Mr and Mrs David Wilson are sad that turnover has
dropped to below a viable level, but feel that changing times are against them. Mr Wilson has for some time worked at
a Blackburn bank. Post Office Ltd, which is responsible for providing a service, says it is trying to find an alternative venue to replace the Old Row shop. In the mean time, customers can use the Whalley post office in King Street or the nearest Clitheroe one, in Whalley Road, Clitheroe.
