h> ■k v.JJ CHATBURN
Fellowship Local butcher Mr Roy
Porter was guest speaker at the meeting of Chatburn Methodist Church Women’s Fellowship when Mrs Giles presided and pianist was Miss Bowker. Mr Porter entertained his
audience with the story of how he started his working life, first with a Saturday job at the butcher’s shop in Downham Road, a chemist’s shop was sit uated where Mr Porter’s pre sent business is in the centre of the village. At that time he said there were 40 butchers in the area, now there are only six as many people prefer to do all their shopping at the super market, so there are less cus tomers at the village butchers. When Mr Porter told his mother he was going to be a butcher she objected, so he began training as a meat inspector. However, he later went to work for butcher Mr Fred Burgess before taking over the shop himself. He said he now had four full-time staff and three part-time and his wife, Mrs Daphne Porter, also works in the shop together with their daughter who makes pies, hot-pots and pud dings in the little bakery at the back of the shop. He explained that his beef comes from the Scottish Highlands and lamb comes from local farms. Thanks were expressed to Mr Porter for his interesting talk by Mrs Giles and refresh ments were served.

HURST GREEN
Beetling about Children and adults spent a
frantic hour trying to assemble insects in Hurst Green when Friends of St Joseph's RC Pri mary School held a beetle drive which raised nearly £145 for school funds. Proceeds will go towards the school's current project of creating a wet gar den in the infants' playground.
Music in the Valley School halls are coming alive
to the sound of music this month. Lancashire Music Ser vice is conducting a series of live concerts throughout the < county's schools, and it is the turn of the Ribble Valley's schoolchildren to enjoy the experience. On Friday, St Joseph's RC
Primary School, Hurst Green, and Thorneyholme School, Dunsop Bridge, were both vis ited by Mike Thomason on violin and Penny Holt on cello, playing a varied repertoire - ranging from the theme music from “Star Wars”, to Indian music based on the pentatonic scale. Mr Thomason explained:
“This is a project paid for from the Government's Standards Fund, to allow children to hear live music."
In the money The children of St Joseph's
Playgroup, Hurst Green, are looking forward to lots more time playing outside soon. The group heard recently that it was successful in its bid for a lottery grant of £5,000 from Awards for All and the money is to be spent on a specially designed storage shed and play cabin, together with outdoor toys including bicycles and tractors. The group meets every week
in a room provided by the local school, St Joseph's, but until now have only had a sandpit for their outside play. Mrs. Wendy Ireton, nursery nurse at the school and the play group's leader, said: "We're really excited about the new play opportunities. The school infant children will also enjoy using the toys.” The playgroup committee
applied for the grant after ask ing Liz Patten at Hyndburn and Ribble Valley CVS for advice about fund-raising. She explained: "Awards for All is currently targeting the Ribble Valley. One of its key criteria is overcoming deprivation and isolation, which means that rural groups have a good chance of winning a grant." Other voluntary groups
needing advice can contact Liz on 01200 422995.

Best kept village i The good news on Saturday
was that Knowle Green Vil lage Hall received the Bryning with Warton Shield as the
;.B£st-Kept Village Hall in Lan cashire for 2003. > “'
The bad news was that dur
ing the previous few days six of the lamps on the newly enlarged car park were dam aged, two of them being ripped out completely and thrown over the hedge into the field. It is estimated that it will cost several hundred pounds to repair the damage. Ironic that it should have happened only days before the hall received its award.

A LIGHT-HEARTED comedy suitable for the entire family packed audiences
into
Clitheroe’s Parish Church Hall. Clitheroe Parish Church
Amateur Operatic and Dra matic Society's presenta tion of "Stepping Out" cap tured the imagination of the Valley. By the second night of its four-night run, even programmes were at a premium. For once the society had
absolutely no need to go in search of men.
There was only one in this
production and Bob Cleeve fitted the role of the shy, rather bumbling individual admirably. The play follows the ups
and downs of members of an amateur tap dancing class. A bunch of misfits, they all
have their own reasons for attending their weekly night out in a local church hall. Improving their dancing skills is apparently at the very bottom of the list. When dance teacher
Mavis, expertly played by Jean Croft, announces the opportunity to take part in a professional production, their personal problems begin to fade into the background and rehearsals start for real. In the 1991 film version of
the stage play by Richard Harris, Julie Walters played Vera and Liza Minnelli, dance teacher Mavis. In Clitheroe’s production,
Vera was played by Gaynor Smith. Perfectly cast as the soci
ety’s class conscious "shrew," Gaynor's antics in her leop ard-skin leotard and yellow rubber gloves produced roars of laughter from the audi ence. At the opposite end of the
spectrum, Louise McKinlay, as gum-chewing confident Sylvia, had the audience in the palm of her hand during a fast-moving show with lots of one-liners designed to keep the audience smiling. With eight "dancers," plus pianist Mrs Fraser - who
