— I had office photographic work to complete first - there would have been less of a prob lem. People who had planned to
arrive early said they had little delay in getting there and in leaving, and despite the rain had a wonderful time. Show organisers have said

■As the second day drew to a
close, the police reacted to jams on the muddy exit route by opening Ribchester Road (east), Chapel Lane and North cote Road to two-way traffic. As a result I was able to leave
the car park after about 10 min utes and progress steadily to the A59 and then to Clitheroe. Some people suggested that fields close to the A59 could be

Also, a vital positive point
made was that the venue, lay out, showing and events have returned the show to its agricul tural roots, and that it was the best RLS for years. The traffic problems encoun
tered are not insurmountable. With some replanning of traffic routing and visitor car parking, the showground location can be made to work and produce the finest that Lancashire and the Ribble Valley can offer. The only other problem was
caused by the heavy rain and even Ribble Valley Borough Council cannot control that.

People’s Business Club will boost the eco nomic regeneration of East Lancashire. The club has drawn together people
between the ages of 15 and 25. An execu tive board has been created by the young entrepreneurs and work will soon begin in earnest on developing talent. A launch event will take place in the autumn. Mr Mohsan, who set up Time Comput ers in Blackburn before it moved to Simon-
puters, Simonstone, one of the UK’s lead ing suppliers of computers, believes intro ducing young people to the world of busi ness will promote enterprise in the region. And ultimately he believes the Young

Young entrepreneurs win support
NE of the Valley’s and the UK’s top businessmen is backing a scheme to promote entrepreneur-
of different businesses and help them understand better what is required to start your own business and make it succeed. “I would like to express my personal
support for the young people involved and wish them all the best for the future.” The idea behind the project was sparked following a survey of the aspirations this age group.
Link for East Lancashire, which is backing the scheme, said: “We found that young people rarely considered the opportunity of running their own business unless they had been introduced to it from an early age - usually because of family connections. “V/e want to boost aspirations and

ambitions and get more people to consider business as a career path - and this will help create a better standard of living for the region. “This is one of the most exciting devel
opments in business support in recent years.
“Young entrepreneurs have lots of ener

have volunteered to steer a programme of events to promote young enterprise for the Young People’s Business Club. They will form the initial board of directors and a programme of events will be announced shortly.

Dance in Clitheroe, joined other members of Lan cashire Youth Dance to perform a unique contempo rary dance to the sell-out audience. The dance, which followed the theme of communication, was named “Three” and incorporated classical and modern movements in a contemporary style. The keen dancer, who is a pupil at St Cecilia’s RC
High School in Longridge, has also performed at the Preston Charter Theatre with a group of Bulgarian dancers. Lucy, who has been dancing since she was 11, prac

accused by a Spiritualist orator of refusing the use of the parish church for the funeral of the son of a Spiritualist teacher. Presumably the speaker cited this as an exam ple of unpractical Christianity and intolerance. However, the Vicar showed he was not the dog matic person the orator would have people believe, for he wrote to the paper in which the report appeared and stated that he had refused to allow a Spiritualist lec turer to conduct a service in the consecrated building □ Whalley Agricultural Society

They hoped that this would result in better quality, more variety and cheaper prices, while one advan tage was th a t they would be relieved of a considerable amount of form-filling □ Numerous readers’ letters
debating the introduction of com mercial TV were featured. One opponent of the scheme was scathing of its possible effect, stat ing that it would aim at the lowest common factor, an end most sure ly achieved by sensationalism, vio lence, crime and sex. He asked ITV’s supporters: “What would they think of a newspaper without independent revenues, whose advertisers wrote the editorials and controlled the feature columns?” □ Another fox was shot on
Wiswell Moor as the campaign to prevent poultry losses continued. At Bashall Eaves and Dunsop Bridge gamekeepers were also suc cessful in tracking a number of foxes to their holes and disposing of them.

RESIDENTS of traffic-troubled Gisbum, who hit out at jugger nauts using the main street, were in line for relief. County council planners started working on a series of £500,000 schemes on the A59 near the village and there was the possibility that one of them might include a bypass. A spokesman said that things were still at the planning stages, but the schemes could go through once the money became available and land had been acquired. □ Clitheroe and District Scouts
“did it in style” at their gala open day, held at Downham Hall. Eight members of St Mary’s troop showed off their culinary slrilla by entaining Lord and- Lady Clitheroe to a five-course camp fire lunch, with a bottle of wine. □ The number of rates bills
owed to Ribble Valley Council was halved after the issue of a “pay up or else” ultimatum. More than 1000 householders had been set a deadline of three weeks in which
to pay their rates or face court action.
