Church, the service celebrated the invaluable work of the East Lancashire Hospice and helped to raise money for it. Local residents were invited to


dedicate a Christmas tree light by making a donation, perhaps in memory of a loved one or just as recognition of someone spe­ cial.


In that way, each of the lights


that illuminated the church for last Thursday’s service shone out as a beacon of love. During the well-attended ser­


chairman Mr Geoff Braithwaite MBE. ■


There was music too, from the


choir at Chatburn Primary School and from soloist Nikki Rawling. Similar services have been held


at Blackburn Cathedral for the past two years and next year the charity hopes to stage them in Blackburn, The Ribble Valley and Hyndburn - the areas cov­ ered by the East Lancashire Hos­ pice. Commenting on the Clitheroe


service, Mr Braithwaite said: “It was a superb occasion for our first in the Ribble Valley. “The schoolchild­


ren sang beautifully and there was a real­ ly festive mood. I want to thank everyone who sup­ ported our Light Up a Life appeal and we hope to repeat it in years to come.” ■ Our picture shows

The ideal opportunity to find that perfect outfit for the festive season


LIFE in the Ribble Valley has been depicted by young artists at Brookside Primary School, who unveiled a major felt artwork ear­ lier this month. For the past four months,


around 240 children from the school worked alongside felt artist Miss Suzanne McCulloch, creat­


ing seven 4ft. high by 2ft. wide panels of feltwork. The project was the brainchild


of former arts co-ordinator for the school Mr Dermod Ruddock, who left earlier this year, and Miss McCulloch, who was the Platform Gallery’s artist in residence, but has now set up her own studio in


her home-town if Liverpool. Commenting on the master­


piece, Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Judith Metcalfe said: “Every sin­ gle child in the school worked very hard towards the project and enjoyed it very much. “The work is now displayed in the entrance hall of the school.’


The seven panels portray the


countryside, farming, people, the school, industry, Clitheroe town and the River Ribble. Our picture shows proud staff and children at Brookside Prima-


,ry school having unveiled the out­ standing piece of work. (A051203)
