pyrotechnic extravaganza sponsored by local companies Castle Cement and Ultraframe.


Other attractions included bonfire

Clitheroe’s two Rotary Clubs, Ribbles- dale and Clitheroe, plus local Round Tablers and Lions. Their shared aim for the event - now more than 20 years old - is to provide a safe and controlled occasion where families can enjoy a traditional bonfire night a t a very rea­ sonable cost. Donations received on the night go


towards the cost of staging the bonfire and firework display and any surplus is distributed to local charities and good causes. Due to the generosity of people


attending this year, more than £6,000 will be donated to The Life Education Charity, and we hope to bring you more on th a t next week. The groups tha t organise the bonfire


and a range of other events throughout the year are always keen to hear from people wanting to be actively involved in supporting their community. If th a t sounds like you, ring one of .
