w.clitheroetoday.co.uk Trekking to help boost the hospice
FOR three days, six employees of Kemple View Hospital trekked through mountainous terrain in the Lake District. The "Great Triangular Walk" was
organised by Colin Hayes and his fiancee, Alwyn, raising £1,000 in aid of the East Lancashire Hospice. “A number of the staff at Kemple
View are keen walkers so we decid ed to do the walk for enjoyment, but also thought while doing it, why not ask family, friends and work col leagues to sponsor us and send the money to the East Lancashire Hos pice” explained Mr Hayes. “The staff included a chef, care
workers and a forensic psychologist and two of their partners thorough ly enjoyed the three days, although it was not an easy task, but the thought of helping people less fortu nate than ourselves spurred us on.” Head of fund-raising at the hos

AN unusual writing workshop enti tled “Mists and Myths”, takes place on Saturday. Mrs Maureen Fenton, Bowland Tran
sit writer-in-residence, has been busy with requests to join the workshops since they started in April. Mrs Fenton, of Henthorn Road,
Clitheroe, who also works as a lecturer at Accrington and Rossendale College, and as a Victorian housekeeper at Gawthor- pe Hall, Padiham, organises varied events, including trips to the Bowland countryside for children or adults to take photos and write poems to go with the images. “The response to the project has been
amazing”, she says. “I became interested in the project
after hearing of Bowland Transit’s launch competition for schoolchildren in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, where they drew pictures of the local biidlife. The winners had their emblems printed on the four new buses, intro duced in 2003, covering the Forest of Bowland area. "I thought how wonderful it must be for the bus drivers to see this landscape
every day and how it changes over the seasons.” As an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, the Forest of Bowland is a par adise of rolling hills, meandering streams, dense woodland and p ic - ' turesque villages. Legendary fiction writer J. R. R. Tolkien is believed to

have based his concept of Middle Earth on the Ribble Valley area, and from the window of the BIO Bowland Transit bus, with low cloud eerily enveloping
Kemple End, it is not difficult to see why. Mrs Fenton struck on the idea of hav
ing a 3vriter-in-residence on the Bowland bus routes and gained financial support from the Arts Council England and Rib- bl§’ Valley Borough Council. Saturday's workshop, with a walk
around Beacon Fell Country Park in the morning and a writing session at Bow land Visitor Centre in the afternoon, welcomes people of all ages to look at seasonal effects on trees, the Midlife liv ing in the area, and to hear some of the history of the site. The session then seeks to engage the group in responding to what they have seen and share ideas, to create postcard poems or short stories. Mrs Fenton hopes to produce the work from the Bowland 'Transit Resi
dency as a poetry book sometime in the near future. The Bowland Transit bus service B16
departs Clitheroe Interchange at 8-20 a.m. on Saturday and those wishing to attend are advised to take a packed lunch, wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes. An evening of reading and conver sation with novelist and children’s writer Adele Geras has also been planned for Tuesday, December 7th, at the Hark to Bounty in Slaidbum.

CUNLIFFE-NONNA
GUESTS travelled from Australia, Iraq, Italy, Canada and England to attend the wedding of former Clitheroe man Mr James Sagar Cunliffe and Miss Elizabeth Gio- vanna Nonna. The bride is the daughter of Mr and Mrs John and
Jean Nonna, of Pleasantville, New York. The bridegroom, is an ex-head boy of Clitheroe Royal
Grammar School, but now works as a civil engineer in Boston, USA and is the son of Mr and Mrs Stephen and Judith Cunliffe, of Clitheroe. Given away by her father, the bride wore a white
pointe d’esprit tulle gown and carried a bouquet of pink anthurium. She was attended by her sister. Miss Caro line Nonna, who acted as maid of honour. Best man was Mr Julian Tatton, who travelled from
Melbourne in Australia, to attend the wedding. The couple tied the knot at the Down Town Associa
tion in New York, with a service conducted by the bride’s cousin, the Rev. Dr Richard Visconti. This was followed by a honeymoon in Peru and the
couple are to make their home in Boston, Mas sachusetts.
A real Scots experience
AN exceptionally enjoy able meeting was experi enced by members of Rib- blesdale Camera Club. Mr Don Austin, from
Windermere, showed good slides and gave a clear, humourous presentation of 20 years of climbing and fell walking. His subject was "The
Highlands of Scotland", and by this he meant not by coach tour, but by climbing, especially in the Munros and the Cuillins. He did not seem to
think too much of Ben Nevis with its well used path: climbing scree gullies was more his style. His photographs were of rugged summits and spec tacular ridge walks, often in the snow. He had one photograph
of the rare "Brocken Spec tre", a shadow of the climber on the clouds below with a halo of shim mering light, banded like a rainbow. A Lancashire accent and perfect timing gave the audience a con stant smile from the stream of funny incidents he had encountered. His bubbling enthusiam
belied his 82 years. He also had great respect for those who struggled on the hills and in particular showed pictures of a family 'vith a thalidomide disabled child who was carried to the summits by her father. He had only one accident himself, ironically by slip ping on wet grass!
permission for the refurbishment of the hall to provide a kitchen and toilet exten sion and to remove an internal wall to make existing rooms into one. Members of Ribble Valley Borough
Council’s planning committee agreed to approve the plans, which include building a two storey and single storey extension on the back of the hall situated on Downham Road at a meeting last Thursday. Mr John Ridgway, chairman of Chatburn Village Hall Committee - the management trustees of the hall - said he was delighted the plans had been accepted and looked forward to moving the scheme forward. Originally, the plans were to build a new hall on the village playing fields and fund ing had been secured from the National Lottery. However, when this funding was lost, the committee decided to concentrate their efforts on refurbishing the old village hall with the help of a £100,000 grant award
ed by the Market Town Initiative Group Clitheroe the Future. Mr Ridgway explained that the old vil
lage hall was currently underused and had outdated facilities. “At the moment, i t ’s only used tor
snooker during the winter and for parish council meetings. It does not even have the facilities to make a cup of tea and there are no toilets,” he commented. Mr Ridgway said the refurbishment
work will bring the hall up to standards set out in the Disability Discrimination Act 2004 providing disabled access and toilets. It will also provide a domestic kitchen. The estimated cost of the refurbishment
work is £150,000 and the committee has grant applications in the pipeline to attract additional funding. Fund-raising events have also helped
make up some of the shortfall. However, gaining planning permission
was not all plain sailing with 36 letters of objection submitted to the council on the
matter. These objections included that the area already has serious parking problems and
increased use of the hall would aggravate this situation. Objections were also raised about the
proximity of the extended village hall to neighbouring properties especially the new kitchen and what effect construction work would have on neighbouring properties. In a report to members, planning officer
Sarah Westwood said the scheme had been revised on numerous occasions in light of the objections put forward. She concluded: “The proposal has no
significant detrimental impact on nearby residential amenity nor would it have an adverse visual impact.” In response to objectors’ comments, Mr
Ridgway said that Chatbum Village Hall, like so many others in the area, had not been built with cars in mind. He said the majority of people who used the hall would be villagers who should be able to walk to the venue. Mr Ridgway added that Mthout these
refurbishment plans the state of the hall would continue to deteriorate. The plans were passed subject to numer ous conditions.
Sporting youngsters take part in ‘mini-olympics’
YOUNG athletes from across the Ribble Valley showed their sporting talent by taking part in the first ‘mini Olympics’. More than 100 children aged
between eight and 12, participated in the half-term event held by Rib ble Valley Borough Council. The fun-filled week featured activ
ities such as athletics, basketball, football, short tennis and tag rugby. Held at the all-weather pitches on
Edisford Road and at Longridge Sports Centre, the event came to a close with a medal presentation, attended by the Ribble Valley’s Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife Ruth. Mr Tom Bamber, a sports development officer for the council and one of the organisers, said the event was a great success and enjoyed by children throughout the Ribble Valley. Our picture shows the Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley with children and organisers at the event.
(B291004/6) Bonfire tomorrow night
FINISHING touches are being put in place for Langho's annual Bonfire and Fireworks Display. The event, once again
organised by the St Leonard's Scout Group, moves to a new home this year - the Community Centre in Langho - where the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts hold their weekly meetings. It takes place on Satur day, with the bonfire being
lit at 7pm. All proceeds raised by
the admission fee goes directly to funding the 60- strong group in its wide range of activities and paying for much of the
specialised equipment that is often needed, such as tents and canoes. Admis sion on the gate is £2 for adults and £1.50 for chil dren, although discounted tickets are on sale at the Spar shop in Langho. There will be a barbe
cue serving burgers and hot dogs, hot and cold refreshments and also a stall selling a variety of flashing novelties and glow
sticks. Due to the space
required for safety reasons, there will be no parking available at the Communi ty Centre. People are also requested not to bring any wood for the bonfire.
Song and dance fun
FRIDAY night fever gripped Whalley youths as they enjoyed a song and dance extravaganza at Ren dezvous night club. The fourth club night
for the youngsters was held on Friday and has been hailed a roaring success by organiser Police Community Sup port Officer (PCSO) Jason Taylor. Despite a zero toler
ance on alcohol con sumption, crowds of party revellers flocked to the club and danced to funky tunes played by “Johnny DJ”, other wise known as
Jonathan Berry. Clas sics played throughout the evening included mainstream dance, R‘n’B and party anthems. Speaking on the suc
cess of the evening, PCSO Taylor said: “It was an absolutely fan tastic evening. “I am happy to say
that no-one turned up at the club having con sumed alcohol and no one was refused entrance or thrown out from the premises.” Pupils from Ribble
Valley high schools were also invited to join in on the fun.
