WITH the Christmas party season just around the comer, staff at a Clitheroe charity shop proved you do not need to go into the red to buy that little black dress. A special “Glitz and Glamour Evening”


was held at the Help the Aged shop on Moor Lane. For the past few months volunteers at the


shop have been putting aside party dresses and other more glitzy garments that came

office Christmas party, a “works do” or just a festive night out were spoilt for choice. Help the Aged has recently encouraged


more young people to donate the clothes they grow out of or no longer want, and there was plenty for young people to choose from.


Shop manager Adele Swift said the event


had been a great success and thanked every­ one who supported it. ■ All the money raised by Help the Aged goes towards securing a future where older people are highly valued, have voices that are heard and lives that are richer. Our picture shows some of the volunteers


and customers at the Glitz and Glamour Evening. (B061103/3)


Memorial bench is a worthy reminder


by Duncan Smith


A LEADING local employer and members of Clitheroe Rotary Club have joined forces to keep alive the memory of one of the town’s most pop­


ular characters. When Dr Cyril Royle died earlier this


year at the grand old age of 101, his family asked for donations instead of flowers. His colleagues at Clitheroe Rotary Club


raised £900 in his memory and decided to buy a seat, inscribed with a plaque paying tribute to the doctor, which will be placed on the pop­ ular Ribble Way at Spike Spitz. Castle Cement/which owns the land, readi­


ly agreed to the project and has offered to pro­ vide a concrete plinth for the seat. There is also to be a second commemorative seat in Clitheroe town centre. Rotary Club treasurer Alex Leonard said:


“Cyril was a wonderful man. He was active right up to the end. He was a big fan of Black- bum Rovers and one day he was at the match with his son - who is also a doctor - and the crowd sang ‘Happy Birthday’ for him. He went to see them play at Arsenal and had a nurse with him, but Cyril joked that she was


there to stop him running on the pitchl “Cyril also claimed to be the oldest person to travel on the London Eye. He worked very


hard for the club as steward.” Members hope to have the seat installed on the Ribble Way by Christmas. The site was


Learning about rural transport


COMMUNITY transport repre­ sentatives from across the UK have been finding out more about inno­ vative projects that have helped communities in the Ribble Valley, Garstang, Lancaster and West Lancashire'get around. Lancashire County Council is


the only local authority to have a stand at the Accessible Transport 2003 exhibition national exhibition this week at the GMEX in Man­ chester. The stand, which is being used to explain the success of the Carnforth Connect, Garstang Super 8, Ribble Valley Rider, Bow-


land Transit, Roudabout Skelmers- dale and Wylde Fyre, was officially opened by the Executive Director of the CTA Jenny Meadows. Mr Richard Owens, marketing


manager for the council's Informa­ tion and Marketing Group, said: "There has been phenomenal inter­ est in these highly successful schemes. “People from all over the country


have been keen to find out more about how we have made a success of public transport in areas where the car had become the main form of transport for many people.”


. chosen because, despite the area’s popularity, there are no seats for the many ramblers and dog walkers to take a breather. Mr Leonard paid tribute to Castle Cement for allowing the seat to be placed on the com­


pany's land. “Everyone at Castle Cement has been very


generous and we do appreciate it. They do a lot for the community and when the seat is in place it will benefit so many people,” he said. Mr Gareth Price, general manager at Cas­


tle’s Ribblesdale works said: “We are more than happy for someone who has served the community for generations to be remembered


the Ribble Way will enjoy having a place to rest.”


Local Tories raise a glass to new branch


WHILE the Conservative Party nationally celebrates a new leader, locally it is celebrat­


ing the launch of a new branch. The Clitheroe town branch of


the party will be launched tomor­ row at a pie and peas supper hosted by newly elected branch chairman David Boden and vice- chairman Sheila Simms. The event, to be held from 7-30


p.m. at the Conservative Club, in Castle Street, will also double as a recruitment night. Any Clitheroe resident inter­


ested in joining the branch - which promises a new type of Conservative politics - is invited to attend tomorrow’s event. Both the chairman and vice-


chairman are determined to lead a new and dynamic branch of the


r?1


Conservative Party. Mr Boden (27) commented: “To this end, instead of sitting around in hot political debate, our members will be enjoying a rich variety of social events. “Saturday, December 13th, for


example, will see us travel to Cadbury World to see how chocolate is made. January will see a murder mystery night and from then on.. . the world is our oyster!” More than 1,000 Clitheroe


households have already received a letter inviting them to the launch of the new branch. Anyone unable to go, but who


would like more information, can call David Boden on 01200 442680 or Sheila Simms on 01200 429017.

VOLUNTEER car drivers are being sought by Lancashire County Council to support pioneering transport schemes within their local communities. County Cars provides a life­


line for many people by allow­ ing them to easily visit the doctors, dentists, social clubs and the shops. This vital service offers peo­


ple who are mobility disadvan­ taged and those in rural areas, such as the Ribble Valley, the


opportunity to get out and about. Volunteers provide transport


in their own cars and receive financial support towards the running costs and fares are set in line with local bus services - concessionary bus passes can also be used. Anyone wanting to find out
