Valley man Brian to mark grand occasion


A CELEBRATION dinner in a London restaurant: tonight will mark a broad­ casting anniversary and years of television service for a Clitheroe bom person­ ality. Mr Bryan Cowgill, leg­


endary founder of BBC TV’s Grandstand, former BBC Head of Sport and Outside Broadcasts, Con­ troller of BBC 1, and man­ aging direstor of Thames Television, will be attend­ ing the event marking the 45th anniversary of Grand­ stand.


’ • ' Bryan Cowgill and his


wife, Jenny, will join a group of old friends and . colleagues at Quaglinos for. the special event, which will be hosted by Mr Greg


- Dyke, the current director- general of the BBC. The names of some read


like a list of the history of television sport production and commentating - David Coleman, David Vine, Desmond Lynham, Frank


Bough, Sir Peter O’Sulli-


‘ van and Harry Carpenter, all of whom became house­ hold names through their character and style, and often through a timely phrase which became as familiar as the person. Mr Cowgill’s own


famous phrase is “action replay”, coined when he tested the first slow'motion repeat broadcast machine 'for the opening match of the World Cup in 1966. He thought up. the


phrase so that a caption could be inserted on the screen, telling viewers what they were watching, as scores of people were tele­ phoning the BBC asking if it was in fact a live match they were watching. He said: “I think I am


the inventor of a phrase which has entered the lan­ guage.” Until recently a resident


of the Ribble Valley, Mr Cowgill now lives in Strat- ford-upon-Avon.


Musical wheelchairs 1 fi


MOST children love music, but many youngsters with special needs are not able to get up and dance. Now children at a Dar-


wen school can move to music by taking part in wheelchair dancing with the help of pupils from Stony- hurst College, who give up their time each week to get involved in community activities. Ten pupils from Years 11,


12 and 13 at the college visit Newfield School each Wednesday and stimulate children in wheelchairs by moving them around in their chains to music. The novel way to dance


has just been filmed by Granada TV for a pro­ gramme in a six-part series


to be screened in October called: "Are you being Ser­ viced?"


Council was recently highly recommended in national awards for its good practice and excellent work and Granada is featuring New­ field school as a beacon of good practice and service. The head teacher of


Newfield school, Mrs Jane Barry, said: “This link with Stonyhurst College is in its- twelfth year now. It is so popular and pupils from both schools benefit; The programme will be


broadcast on Granada and other selected ITV regions in a sue week series, starting on October 17th at 7-30 p.m.

MORE than 100 friends, rel­ atives and work colleagues gathered to bid their last farewells to Dr Mandy Jolly at the Shajan Indian Restau­ rant. ' After more than 35 years


employed by the National Health Service, 60-year-old Dr Jolly is now a lady of leisure. Previously employed by the Pre­ ston Primary Care Trust, she worked as a quality assurance


officer at Sharoe Green Hospital, Preston. Her work involved being


responsible for quality of patient care. Originally from Sri Lanka, the


multi-talented officer has had sev­ eral job titles throughout her life. She completed her nurse training at Hammersmith Hospital, West London, followed by teacher train­ ing, B.Ed. Hons, Masters and finally a Ph.D. in organisation management from Durham Uni­


versity. “I will miss my work col­ leagues and especially the patient contact. I worked very closely with the ethnic minority and will miss that very much”, explained Dr Jolly. She added: “The retirement


party was fabulous and all the peo­ ple that mean so much to me were present.” For the last 10 years, Dr Jolly


has also been working as a lecturer in the science faculty for the Open University and intends to continue


at this work. Another satisfying feature of her career has been working as a magistrate and she said: “Working as a magistrate has taught me to be fair and has devel­ oped me in my skills more than anything else.” . Dr Jolly will spend her future in


Copster Green where she lives with her husband, Mr James Jolly, who retired just two days before her. Our picture shows close friends


at Dr Jolly’s retirement party. (A260903/1C)

MEMBERS of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club tackled all the summits of Coniston's western skyline during their recent visit to Low House climbing hut.


. Starting from the village, the


party followed the Walna Scar bridleway to the southern tip of Goat’s Water before scrambling up steep scree slopes to the mountain rescue stretcher box at the foot of Dow Crag. The rising gangway of South


Rake enabled the group to reach the foot of Easy Gully, which was climbed to reach the summit cairn. Members continued north


along the ridge, gradually descending to Goat’s Hause


■


and then climbing again to the trig point at the top of Conis- ton Old Man, the starting point for the traverse over the sum­ mits of Brim Fell and Swirl How.


' A diversion from the summit


path of Great Carrs took the party to the memorial site for a group of Canadian airmen, whose plane crashed in bad weather during the Second World War, killing all on board. Thankfully the weather was


clear and sunny and the rocky peak seemed a much friendlier place for the Clitheroe climbers. From Great Carrs the group


headed south west to Grey Friar, where good views of the Duddon Valley, Harter Fell and


upper Eskdale were enjoyed before returning to Swirl How and descending Prison Band to Swirl Hause for the final climb of the day to the top of Wether- lam. After scaling the peak, mem­


bers returned to Coniston via Red Gill Head and Miners Bridge. On Sunday, one group head­


ed for the Bowfell area while another party opted for a train­ ing session for this year’s Karri- mor mountain marathon. Starting from High Nibth-


waite, the runners took a bri­ dleway until they were level with Coniston Water’s Peel Island, then climbed the path to Top O’Selside. A downhill


jog over moorland brought them back to the bridleway, which was followed into forest, then tracks were followed to the summit of Carron Crag, from where the party returned to High Nibthwaite accompanied by a large number of cyclists in a mountain biking competition.' The club’s next indoor meet­


ing will be held at'8 p.m. on Thursday at Clitheroe Cricket Club. Mr Neil Whalley will give an illustrated talk on the hidden delights of the Ribble Way. On Sunday, October 19th, a


day meet will be held at Black Combe, in Cumbria, leaving the council offices car park at 8

Bill crowned n National Ski champ


PENDLE Ski Club’s Bill Latham has won the English Schools’ National Individual Skiing Championship at Swadlincoates, Derbyshire. Pendle Ski Club’s boys’ team also qualified for the


British Open Championships in Llandudno on Novem­ ber 15th, after coming home in second spot. * With the top three times taken forward, Pendle’s fourth time had to be taken due to a disputed disqualifi­ cation - the .decision saw them finish as runners-up. The previous day, the boys’ team won the Under 19


Group Championships. The best three tim.es from the first run were taken


alongside the best three from their second run. And that saw them crowned national champions, with the girls’ team ending their event back in fifth spot.


Businessman’s cash backing for Woodland Heritage projects


WOODLAND and its regeneration are the subject of a charter launched by a Clitheroe-based com­ pany. Howarth and Jepson, the fine


furniture shop at Pendle Mill, want to help sustain the source of the material they use for their products, > so that there is a legacy for future generations which is, literally, grow­ ing.


Mr Jeremy Howarth’s passion for


wood and quality wood products led him to become involved with the work of Woodland Heritage through his association with a firm of cabinet-makers.


He said: “I had an immediate


affinity with this company and with what it was trying to achieve. Woodland Heritage have done much to educate the industry and consumers as to the importance of this diminishing resource.” ' The charter was received by


Philip Johnson of Woodland Her­ itage, Andrew Berry, of Berry’s at Chipping, and David Brackley of Lancashire Woodlands project. It will outline the firm’s commit­


ment to Woodland Heritage and will take the form of a donation, valued at 1 % of the company’s annual sales revenue.


There will also be showroom


space for prototype and finished items produced from local wood. Woodland Heritage is a regis­


tered charity and was formed from a group of traditional cabinet mak­ ers who wanted to improve the way trees were grown, maintained and harvested in Britain.


Their aim is the true conserva­


tion and maintenance of sustain­ able woodland. Out picture shows, from the left,


Mr Johnson, Mr Howarth, Mr Berry and Mr Brackley at the launch of the environmental char­ ter.


A Jolly occasion for well-respected doctor


Record round for golfer David


A SINGLE Stableford at Clitheroe Golf Club last weekend produced two memorable scores. David Wilson’s 44 points


won the top prize, but also equated to a course record- equalling gross 66. Peter Foley also showed


his consistency with 40 points to take second spot, with David Coupe, Gary Speak and Harry Heesom settling the minor placings after a card play-off with 38 points. And Harry Richardson,


who has had his ups and downs this year, ended on a high with a hole in one at the par three eighth. The highlight of the


Open Four Man Team event was Trevor Foster’s eight birdies, but even that was not sufficient to win Andrew Walmsley’s formi­ dable team the first prize.


Visitors from across the


border took the prize money back to Keighley and Town Moor with a score of 87 points. Clitheroe Golf Club Sec­


retary Trevor Ashton brought a team of quality golfers from his home club Chorley to take the gross prize with 76 points. Forty points was a popu­


decided that Peter Dunn and Phil Hanson took sec­ ond spot from the enthusi­ astic Ian and Dave Jackson. Out of the prizes again


were the unlucky Harley Preston and Eric Taylor with the same score. However, Ted and Gary


Speak topped the prizelist with an impressive 45 points - five points ahead of the field. The end of season singles


knockout was also resolved last week when Phil Leaver beat David Heeson in the singles by 4 and 2. Oliver Marsden and Paul Shackle- ton were the losing semi­ finalists. Family duos contested


the mixed doubles event with Brian and Chris Strokes claiming victory on the 19th hole from course chairman John Holt and his wife Jean. Mother and son Edith


and Andrew Child lost out in the semi-final, as did the Narayana pairing. Captain elect Ray Ashley finished the season in style


lar score in Sunday’s Four Ball Stableford as the cards


with a solid nett 70 in the final medal. David Knowles shot one


better to take the division two prize, while Norman Greening made a welcome visit to the prize list in third place. Simon Hale’s nett 63


took top spot in division one, and also put him top of the list for the season's best six nett cards to win the Dewhurst Trophy. Ever prominent Dennis


Greenup posted a marvel­ lous nett 67 off his two handicap to take second place, and again finished second to Hale for the Dewhurst Trophy due to the last day’s results. Peter Harrison also fin­


ished on a high with his 68 to take third prize, while Steve Cunliffe topped divi­ sion three. In the Ladies’ Single Sta­


bleford held last Thursday Mrs Jean Ann Speak took the top honour with 41 points. And Jill Wightman and


Kath Tattersall finished second and third with respective scores of 40 and 39


• SUE Kirk and Jo


Porter carded 101-28-73 to take the Daily Mail four­ somes at Stonyhurst Park Golf Club on Saturday.


■ The pair of Rita. Joyce, and Trudy Walne took the


runners-up spot with 104-" 30-74. Margaret Duckett took


the Ladies’ Nine-Hole Competition with a nett score of 35.5, just half a point clear of second placed Rita Joyce. And she then added the


Nine-Hole Bring and Win prize on Monday with 36.5, while Dorothy Harrison was second with 37. The pair of Sue Kirk and


Jo Porter took the Daily Mail Foursomes with 73 points, with Rita Joyce aga'in the runner-up, this time alongside Trudi Walne with nett 74. . S. Credie took the Mens


Category One October Medal with 66 points. In the ladies’ section


Monthly Medal, Sally Blenkinship was a two-shot winner after carding 111-40- 71.


Joan Whittaker was run­


ner-up (99-26-73) on the card from Jean Dearden, who shot 94-21-73.


Darts team draw


CLITHEROE Men's Super League Darts team entertained Morecambe last week and despite hav­ ing a weakened side man­ aged to register a cred­ itable 5-5 draw. With their three Lan­


cashire players all having other commitments the home side soon found themselves 3-0 down, with losses fromJack Hayward, MicM{Vine and Mick Duxfiury. However, wins'for man


of the match James Harg­ reaves and an excellent game from Richard Jones, gave the home side some hope. Furhter losses for Simon


Jackson and Andy Porter meant the last three play­ ers all had to win to sal­ vage a draw. Barry Cunliffe, Joe Marsden and Reece Jef­


fries all won to achieve a draw. Both Cunliffe and Jeffries hit maximum 180s . in their respective match­ es.


Clitheroe's next game is

Emma Turner ■ took Clitheroe's victories, while Lind Waring, Irene Seed, Sally Slater, Lilian Thom- linson, Carol Joy and Audrey Southwell all suc­ cumbed to their respective opponents. Heap was the lady of


the match with a 38.15 average. Clitheroe Ladies next


match is on November 9th at home to Haydock at the Swan and Royal.
