PRISON was a possibility for motor cyclists going at "mind boggling" : speeds, a senior officer told a Lan­ cashire Police Authority public meet­


ing in WKalley. Several people from various areas of the


Ribble Valley complained of continuing problems with high-powered machines, usu­ ally ridden by mature, rather than young people. ’ '.


'■ ■[i ■/ ■ ■ , A Newton resident said he accepted the sit­


uation was difficult to police, but they, had experienced one fatal accident and two others resulting in very serious injury. ; Divisional Commander Chief Supt. David


w .-.< •■.:■ -"•••■:’ \: ,\ ‘ ’: ■ bikers


been mind boggling," he declared, pointing out that those which constituted dangerous driving could result in a prison sentence.


■ But, emphasised Chief Supt. Mallaby - a recreational rider himself - "A lot of motor cyclists are very well-behaved and sensible." Dangers caused by "rat runs'^used by vehi­


cles of all kinds in villages mainly near the A59 were highlighted by other speakers. There were complaints about young drivers. : Ribble Valley commander Insp. Bob Ford said that speed and collision rates in Gisbum


Mallaby revealed that local officers were to receive training in using.hand-held detection equipment.

'had been tackled by various measures and improved.' Turning on to the by-pass from Chatbum was easier for lorries than from the industrial estate link road and that was one of the quite simple problems going to be consid­ ered soon.

Viewing county photos at camera club display


LAST week’s meeting of the Ribblesdale Camera Club comprised a view of the Lan­ cashire and Cheshire Photo­ graphic Union’s folio of black and white prints. These were from the entry


into the 2003 competition and were exhibited at the St Helen's Museum of Glass. Chairman Stephen Robinson’s “Hayfield Rider” represented Ribblesdale in the folio. The quality was generally


high and it was interesting to see the work of neighbouring clubs and of several of the lec­ turers and judges who will be visiting Ribblesdale in the coming months. A coffee morning in the


Clitheroe Town .Council chamber, by kind permission of the Mayor, proved very successful. This was timed to be in conjunction with the exhibition in the library, which continues until the end of the month.


Vice-chairman Jeff Cowl­


ing’s photograph of Gaping Ghyll from the chamber is featured on the glossy front page of the current edition of the journal “Cave and Karst Science” magazine. The pho­ tograph was taken during the August 2002 winch meet of the Craven Pothole Club. The next meeting will fea­


ture the judging of the first competition of the year. Prints and slides with an open subject will be consid­ ered. This is a good evening for


prospective members to attend, as a wide range of members’ interests and activi­ ties will be shown and analysed by the judge. Later in the autumn, themed com­ petitions will be held, giving members the challenge of photographing a set subject. Inquiries about membership can be made to the secretary on 01200 423474.

Professsor Moveley has been an excellent finals judge, giving his valuable time freely.” Success in this year’s


competition was spread across the Ribble Valley, with several other commu­ nities sharing in the hon­ ours. The best-kept hamlet

Search for top tourist spot

gone back to school, sum­ mer is officially over. The NWTB is keen to


find out where the North West’s favourite day out is and will scour the far cor­ ners of the region in order to find it. The tourist board wants


as many people living, working or visiting the region to take part in this search by clicking on to www.visitnorthwest.co.uk and simply following the instructions on the home page. The search has been


launched as part of the run up to the NWTB’s Chair­ man’s Tourism Awards - in the “Oscars” for the North West tourism industry. This year's prestigious


event will be held at the City Of Manchester Stadi­ um, recently named one of the UK’s top 10 architec­ tural successes of the year, on Monday November 17. Diane Oxbury, BBC


weather presenter, will pre­ sent the awards at the cere­ mony that is expected to attract more than 250 guests.


Plan to extend C C T Y

nity safety partnership, Ribble Valley Borough Council policy officer Mr Bill Alker revealed that talks were going on with a number of businesses about extending the system. However, things were at an


early stage. dThe. system was haying 1


an impact on crime, espe-1 dally in town centres and I on -car parks, said Mr | Aiker. But the partnership was |


undertaking other initia­ tives, including holiday- I time events for young peo­ ple. "The devil makes work for idle hands," said Mr | Alker.
