Trophies and plaudits abound for ambulance corps


THE Clitheroe division of the St John’s Ambulance had its annual inspection and presentation at a town centre venue. The newly-appointed


leader of the division is Mr Gary Taylor.


He will now be carrying


out duties with his son, Ben­ jamin, who was also awarded the cup for Cadet of the Year. The inspection, which was


held in the function room of the Dog, Clitheroe, was car­ ried out by Mrs Audrey


McLennan and Mr Sandy Bennie. Mrs McLennan thanked


the division for its hard work and dedication.


Awards were also present­


ed to the Badger of the Year, Bethany Tomlinson, and to


the recently-retired secretary of the division, Mrs Mary Brogden, who received a clock and a bouquet of flow­ ers.


Mrs Brogden also received


a certificate for giving 500 hours of service in the last


year. The corps, which meets at the headquarters in King Lane, welcomes new mem­ bers. For more information, contact 01200 429093. Our picture shows cadets

Swing Commanders took to the stage on Friday night-led by vocalist and guitarist Peter Riley, of Hurst Green. An enthusiastic and
