^ 6 Ciitheroe Advertiser & Times, November 11th Oakhill lights up the sky!


MORE than 500 people enjoyed a fantastic fireworks display at Oakhill College. A guy competition was won by a cleverly


made "Guy Fork". There was a welcoming hotpot supper and hotdogs to keep out the evening chill. And the sky was not the only thing decorated. The children from the school's preparatory department wore fancy dress and were rewarded with a goody bag for their efforts.

YOUNG people in Whalley will have their views heard on how the village can benefit them at a forthcoming meeting. The meeting has been arranged by


the village’s traders, who have teamed up with the police in a bid to provide indoor and outdoor facilities for local teenagers to help them beat boredom. At a recent Whalley Chamber of


Trade meeting, members aired their concerns about the lack of youth pro-? vision in the area and highlighted action had to.be taken to steer the fed-up youngsters away from crime..

WINNERS in the weekly East Lane's Hospice draw were: Lees Court Social Club (£1,000), Mr J. Coulter, Ciitheroe (£250) and Mr W. Smith, Ciitheroe (£100). If you would like to join the lottery, contact Ann or Judith on 01254342847.


The meeting was held at the Dog


Inn and chaired by landlord Mr Nor­ man Atty who, although he praised Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Jason Taylor’s pioneering youth work in Whalley, said the youths had to come forward and let people know what they wanted. He commented: “Jason has been great with the young people in the


village. “He manages the football teams,


arranges club nights, pool competi­ tions and trips to Alton Towers for them. ■ -‘However, I think we, as traders, can work together with the police and the youngsters to find out what


they actually want from Whalley.’’ One suggestion that arose during


the meeting suggested one of the shops being converted into a cyber­ cafe in which youngsters could spend


time. “It’s not in our interests to alienate


the village’s young people, we just want to hold this consultation exer­ cise to ascertain how we can benefit them,” said Mr Atty. “If there is an indoor facility like a


cybercafe for them, this will keep them off the streets - hence away from crime.” A similar opinion was shared by


Whalley resident and borough coun­ cillor Joyce Holgate, who said:

THE last of the autumn colours was enjoyed by the Ciitheroe group of the Ramblers’ Association when they visited Langstrothdale. Led by Mary Thorpe, 19


members walked from Hubberholme up to Cray alongside Cray Gill, enjoy­ ing the last of the autumn foliage. The cascades and water­


fall were at their best after the recent heavy rain. From Cray they turned west along the high-level terrace above Langstroth­ dale. There were splendid


views across to the high fells and also down Wharfedale. Care was needed on the steep descent to Yockenthwaite over the damp, slippery, limestone. The walk continued


along the river bank, with a lunch stop in warm sun­ shine. At Beckermonds the party left the river and set off on a steady climb of 900 feet over very rough moorland. At the skyline, the ridge


was followed to Horse Head. There were hazy views across to Pen-y- ghent with occasional


glimpses of Ingleborough. At Horse Head Gate a


steep, badly eroded track was followed back down to the road at Yockenthwaite. Apart from the surface, this is an attractive path with excellent views. 'We were pleased to note that the North Yorkshire Coun­ ty Council has now put up a notice banning this track to motor vehicles. The final stretch of the


walk was over the bridge, past the lovely 17th-Cen­ tury farm, and along the Dales Way back to Hub­ berholme with its ancient church.

“Whalley lacks provision for young


people. The sooner something is done for them, the better. Commenting on the control of


juvenile nuisance in Whalley, Pc Geoff Pennal, said: “Juvenile’nui-


sance is not a major problem in Whalley. “However, when young people are


involved in crime, it is perceived as a big problem in a small area.


“I t is extremely nice to see traders


working to combat the nuisance for­ ever and giving the youngsters a chance to air their views.” The meeting will be at Whalley’s


Rendezvous night club, on Wednes­ day, January 5th, at 6-30 p.m.

JUST a brief note to say thank you to the people involved in organising Saturday night’s bonfire on Ciitheroe Castle


field. As in previous


years, it was a lovely event and the fire­ work display was spectacular. 'We hoped you raised a lot of money.


THE GILES FAMILY, Abbot Walk, Ciitheroe


fire and Firework Display drew big­ ger crowds than ever before and, with money still coming in, is set to raise a record amount for the North West Air Ambulance. A mild and clear night drew a


large crowd to the Castle Field, where volunteers from Clitheroe’s five main service clubs had been busy building the bonfire and preparing for the event. Earlier in the day the final piece


of the Plot Night jigsaw had fallen into place when a hard-fought “Best Guy” competition was judged by Ciitheroe Mayor Conn. Joan Knight. Local primary schools were asked to make and enter a guy, with a prize of £50 for the winner. Judging proved a difficult task,


but Conn. Knight plumped for “The Ofsted Inspector” - the guy from Pendle Primary School. His fiery fate sealed, the poor Inspector, who gave the school such a glowing report, would soon be glowing him-


self! Running a close second was the


more traditional Guy Fawkes effigy from Chatburn Primary School,l, with the guy from St James’ Prima­ ry, Ciitheroe, in third.


The towering bonfire was built of


pallets kindly donated by local firms, in particular Dugdales Nutri­ tion, and building it was made much easier by the loan of equipment from Chatbum businesses - a trac­ tor and trailer from Hickeys Plant Hire, a forklift from Timbermatic Ltd and a quad bike and trailer from KIK Quad Centre. Ciitheroe Round Table members


built the bonfire, which generated so much heat that the crowd retreated from the perimeter fencing at a rate of one metre each 15 minutes! Local butcher Alan Hacking pro­


vided hot dogs and beefburgers, with hot drinks from Coffee Exchange and a wide range of flash­ ing wands, brooches and similar items sold by the organisers. TNT Millennium Pyrotechnics


provided and ignited the fireworks and did an excellent job to provide one of the best displays seen at this event. Safety is of paramount importance and the organisers were happy that the site layout, with the fireworks set off from the netball pitch, some distance from the crowd, was as safe as possible.

A music and PA system, supplied by Intrak Sound Systems, added t to the party atmosphere and kept everyone informed as events unfold­ ed. Local St John Ambulance volun­ teers were once again in attendance and did not report any incidents, much to everyone's relief.


The large crowd was well-behaved


and generous. Although the final figure is not yet known, the organis­ ers are confident that takings from this year’s bonfire will exceed last year’s £5,500 total. The five service clubs that organise the event are the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale, the Rotary Club of Ciitheroe, Ciitheroe Round Table, Ciitheroe Lions and the recently-formed Rotary Club of Pendle View. This week they thanked all the


people who helped to make the event such a continuing success and especially the two sponsoring busi­ nesses of Castle Cement and 3M Healthcare. ■ Rotarians clearing the field the


following morning found some house keys dropped in the grass a t the southern comer of the fence around the bonfire. They were handed in at Ciitheroe Police Station. Pictures by: Anthony Braithwaite and Andrew Smith.
