Distinctly upbeat influences will make you feel you can accomplish more than usual. With a bit of luck and some solid planning, you will find that luck is behind you. But a little care is definitely needed especially where cash is concerned. If loved ones are being sticky, just remember you are almost certainly magnifying things out of all proportion.

You'll feel like riding into cop gear flying the banner of your pec causes. But watch that you do not over commit yourself.

Then you will find everyone suddenly starts to look more upbeat again. Call my Virgo line to hear more.

making the tasks all look so easy. Indeed, she did her best to persuade her audience that it was not at all difficult and encouraged every one to have a go at home. She congratulated the seven men present
for attending, saying that some of the great est exponents of floral art were men, and she hoped to see men taking prizes in the floral art classes at the club’s annual show, next August. In front of a very attentive audience, she produced four magnificent and quite different floral displays for Christmas, explaining in some detail what she was doing and why. At the end of the meeting, her work was raf
fled, with the largest display being split in two. As a result, five members went away from the meeting very happy indeed. Also at the meeting, the chairman reported
that the club dinner had run at a small loss due to less support than had been anticipat ed, but was otherwise very successful. He urged members to support the club’s social events as well as its horticultural ones. After studying recently-received cata
logues, the chairman also told members that it looked as though most of the banned gar den pesticides now had alternatives. Some of these will be stocked at the club hut when it reopens in February.
FROGS take trip to the theatre
FROGS from Clitheroe hopped on a bus to Manchester for a trip to the theatre. The 18 trippers were all members of the
Friends of the Gasworks, a pressure group lobbying for a new arts and entertainment centre to be built on the old Clitheroe gas works site. Their night out took them to The Lowry, at
Salford Quays, which is the kind of multi-use arts centre that they would like to see thriv ing in Clitheroe. They saw a production of “The Play What
I Wrote”, a warm and hilarious tribute to the great comedy duo, Morecambe and Wise. It features a different special guest for each per formance and on this occasion it was actor Brian Capron, alias the evil Richard Hillman from “Coronation Street”. Transport for the trip was arranged with
the assistance of Ribble Valley Community Transport.
Anyone interested in joining the FROGS,
supporting their campaign and participating in future social events can contact the group via the Dat@Base I.T. Learning Centre, Hen- thorn Road, Clitheroe.

AAecha Manchester Road -
A FARM in the heart of the Ribble Valley seems an unlikely place for students to graduate. But recently, students from Scotland, Cheshire and
are required to review and assess air quality to ensure it meets tough Government standards. The report contains data collected over the last two
The borough council's environmental health man-
ager James Russell said: “The report is a requirement of the UK Air Quality Strategy, which places a duty on local authorities to review and assess air quality periodically in their area. In undertaking the assess
ment, we have met environmental standards set out by the Government.” The results of the first Ribble Valley review and
assessment in 2000 indicated that air quality in the area was good, but following tightening of air quality standards it was necessary to undertake a second review.
The latest report acknowledges the Castle Cement
plant at Clitheroe as a major local combustion process, but has not found this to be significant in terms of air quality limits.
I t also notes tha t the two wet kilns at Castle Cement will be mothballed in 2005, which will result
in further improvements.' It reveals that emissions in Ribble Valley for the
main pollutants - nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, particulates, carbon monoxide, lead, benzene and 1.3 butadiene - are not exceeding UK or EC air quality standards and will meet future air quality objectives. Mr Russell added: “The latest data reveals that air
quality in the area is very good and we are hopeful for the future.” The report is to be put before Ribble Valley Bor
ough Council’s Community Committee shortly. It is available on the Ribble Valley Borough Council web site (
www.ribblevalley.gov.uk).
