Malta cycle trek to help kidney disease victims
A TEAM of 28 fund-raising cyclists from Malta are to set off from Stonyhurst College at Hurst Green on a tough 1,100 mile cycle challenge - over just eight days. The volunteer cyclists are aim
ing the event by providing accommodation and meals at the start and finish - as well as storage for the bikes and equip ment that are travelling overland before and after the ride. The Braveheart Life Cycle
Challenge will take the team through some of the most testing terrain in northern England and Scotland a t the end of this month. This includes the Lake Dis
trict and ‘Braveheart’ country in the Scottish Highlands. Malta TV is also filming the marathon journey for a documentary. I t is the fifth annual cycle
challenge held by the charity and other venues have been
ing to raise thousands of pounds to help Maltese people with kid ney disease - and to raise aware ness of Malta’s Organ Trans plant Support Group. Stonyhurst College is support
member back-up squad and will be sleeping “in everything from church halls to breweries” along the way. The cyclists will also be speak
ing to the Stonyhurst pupils about their gruelling journey when they return to the college .on Saturday, September 6th. Jonathan Hewat, Marketing
and Admissions Manager at the school, said: "This is a tremen dous effort by the cyclists who have given up so much of their time to prepare. “We have been happy to sup
port them and the Life Cycle Challenge - especially as we have long-established connections with Malta."
Church scheme sets example

THE Pastoral Care Scheme run by Whalley Parish Church is set ting an example that may be fol lowed by other churches. The team supplements the

the clergy themselves have many more responsibilities today than in previous times when they were able to make several visits in a day. “I think we have to accept
change,” she writes, referring to new approaches in other profes sions serving the public, such as medicine. “When I was bom, the doctor didn’t have a car, he rode a bicyclel “These days, nurses have
opportunity to remind you that we, the team, represent the. Church.” Mrs Mitchell has already spo
ken to a representative of anoth er church about the Whalley scheme and is willing to pass on ideas to anyone else.
Church event to boost Welsh counterparts
ONE of the younger members of
Whalley Methodist Church has organised an "Afternoon Tea" on Saturday from 2 p.m. onwards. Whalley Methodist Church is
Suzy Davies's home church, but while a t university in Bangor, Wales, she attends Penrallt Bap tist Church, which has outgrown its premises. The Welsh church is embark
ing on an ambitious project, costing £600,000 to buy and ren
ovate a large redundant church in the town centre which will accomodate its growing congre
gation. With the support of her
home church it is hoped that a gift can be sent to support and encourage the Welsh project. Fellow Whalley church mem
bers, the Atherton and Daven port families, are opening their adjoining gardens in Wiswell Lane to host the afternoon tea. Admission is £1.50, refresh
ments will be served and there will be several stalls. Anyone wishing to support this effort and enjoy a pleasant afternoon in the lovely Wiswell Lane gar dens is invited along.
William’s special recital
A TEENAGER who has already impressed many people in Whalley is to give a special organ recital on Saturday night. Whalley Parish Church will resound to organ music played by
popular young deputy organist William Stafford. While studying for A-levels at Clitheroe Royal Grammar
School, William has inspired the congregation by his skill and ver satility, ranging from classical to modem worship, Bach to boogie, keyboard to clarinet. Now before he moves on to university in Manchester, William
has been asked to give a recital of his favourite organ music and has put together a programme by Verdi, Walton and others, but mainly his favourite composer, Bach.
Everyone is welcome to what promises to be an enthralling evening, starting at 7-30 p.m. No tickets are required, there will be a retiring collection for church funds.
Student discounts for bus trips to Manchester
RIBBLE VALLEY students starting the new term at sixth form college or university can take advantage of a special bonus offer on the XI and X2 bus services to Manchester. Lancashire County Council
has teamed up with bus opera tors Lancashire United to offer cut-price fares for students on the hourly trips to Manchester from Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington and Haslingden. All they have to do to get a 15% reduction is show their NUS card. The promotion is p a r t of a
push to get people out of their cars and on to public transport. More special offers are planned

Amidst the trees, gardens, and the ancient stones, beside the journeying river...
THE cult of personality is alive and well at village pump, grass roots level in many places these days - but not in Whalley. Here is a place where people pull together for the common good modestly, behind the scenes and with out thought of reward. Of course, there is another side to the

the village. For instance, the parish council has a much bigger influence than in most places because it has "inherited" or otherwise gained an influence over key facilities. I t looks after the historic grounds of the
parish church, has a say over the public bur ial ground shared with Wiswell, owns the large playing fields run by a charitable trust, the historic grammar school, which is let out for further education, the bus station, the adjacent Vale Gardens, several pieces of amenity land and numerous seats and forms. Meetings of the council display a manifest
commitment to serving the people. Some times, to be sure, there is a stimulating touch of controversy, a clear indicator of sincerity. If a Hollywood film producer wanted to see rural England at her best, he could do worse than take a seat at the back of the upper room of the village hall. Again, this aspect of Whalley life has a fea
ture not found anywhere else which adds to the general air of calm.

The retailers are keen to make shopping easier and show that a trip to the village is really worthwhile - their efforts have had a fascinating snowball effect.
