C oming of Age


THE Probus Christmas Lunch was held at the New Drop Inn, Ribchester, when 101. members and guests sat down to enjoy the


festive fare. Chairman Paul Duck welcomed the


Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Alan and Mrs Susan Yearing, and the event was professionally controlled by Walter Tyres from Toastmasters Interna­ tional who was also the speaker after the meal. The toastmaster, resplendent in red jack­


et, ensured the smooth progress of' the meal, the interval and then his address to; the audience. With anecdotes illustrating ' his function at formal events, he demon­ strated how the secret lay in being prepared


for the unexpected. Equally important is meeting the principals prior to the event to define just what is required;' ' Probus member John Adey gave the vote


of thanks. The next meeting of Clitheroe Probus is


at the normal meeting place, the Pendle Club, Lowergate.'at l i a.m. tomorrow when the annual "chiefly yourselves" meet­ ing will include carol singing and other musical items. Inquiries should be made to the secretary, tel. 012bpj429207V';j , i A , Pictured, from the'left; is Mayoress Mrs

Beckett will be walking seven hours each day and camping in the desert every night, encoun­ tering some of the most extreme and spectacu­ lar landscapes on Earth during the nine-day trip with 60 fellow trekkers. “Being in the Sahara desert will be an adven­


ture I am unlikely to forget,” said Michael, who attended the former Lionel Street School in Ightenhill. “It will be one of the toughest things I have ever done, but knowing I can make a dif­ ference and help people living with cancer1 makes all my efforts ^orth i t ”. , ... , .... ....... Macmillan provides expert careand practical •


and emotional support to people-living iyith cancer. Money raised by Michael will he used to help fund specialist nurses and doctors who deliver the best in cancer care, build cancer care centres and give financial help to those who
