Lane; of Langho, and Mr S. Clarkson, of Read, and is a sales manager for a Manchester-based company. His bride, a health and safety co-ordi-


nator at Ultraframe, is the eldest daugh­ ter of Mr and Mrs T. Garner, of Moorend, Clitheroe. Given away by her father, the bride


wore a designer diamond-white full- length satin gown, which gathered at the left hand side of the waist illustrating a layered effect at the front, with a bodice of scattered crystals. Her headdress con­ sisted of white feathers and crystals complemented with a diamante shoul­ der length veil. She carried a bouquet of white cala lillies and deep blue roses dec­ orated with blue feathers and diamonds. Chief bridesmaid was the bride's sister


Kim Gamer and other bridesmaids were Donna Thompson and Trudy Riley. Each wore an electric blue Thai silk full skirt and bodice with scattered dia­ monds. Flowergirl Jasmine Knowles wore a white sleeveless dress with a crys­ tal sash. All carried a modem bouquet of calla lilies to complement the bride. Pageboy Leighton Clarkson, the cou­


ple’s son, wore a three-piece white silk suit identical to that of the bridegroom and had a blue rose decorated with blue feathers and diamonds. Best man was Anthony Clarkson, the


bridegroom’s brother, and the ushers were Charlie Street, Roger Haythomth- waite and Liam Lishman. The couple were married at St James’


Church, Clitheroe, followed by a recep­ tion a t Mytton Fold Hotel and Golf Complex. The couple will live in River- lea Gardens, Clitheroe. Picture by Zoie Carter-Ingham.

Sun smiles down on village fete by Rebecca Wright


FINE weather and a good turnout helped make for another successful Hurst Green Village Fete. The competition and fete float theme was


“The Wizard of Oz” and this was reflected in many of the very creative fancy dress entries. This year’s fete was opened by Mrs Laura Bai­


ley, from Clitheroe. She lived in Hurst Green until a few years ago


and is a big supporter of the village. Mrs Bailey is well-known and loved in Hurst Green and


Clitheroe and works hard for many different causes, including Oxfam and Friends of Cher­ nobyl's Children. The event was attended by some of the chil­


dren of Belarus and their host families and some of the profits Mil be donated to this charity. Rain that had threatened the event stopped on


cue at exactly 1-45 p.m., just in time for the pro­ cession, and the weather remained fine for the rest of the afternoon. The Accrington Crusaders entertained the


crowds with their American baton twirling rou­ tines, which was very appropriate for July 4th.


Everyone enjoyed the races, an egg throwing


competition and sideshows around the ground. A children's Best Kept Pet competition was includ­ ed for the first time in several years, with great success. A menagerie of cats, dogs, rabbits, bantam,


ducklings and a ferret gave local vet Mike Rim- mer a very hard task in the judging. Profits raised by the fete will be shared by var­


ious village groups, the Memorial Hall and Friends of Chernobyl's Children. Among the main trophy winners this year was Denise Bolton, who won the Father Magill Tro­

Thumbs up to ball


MORE than £500 was raised to help the work of the Read and Simonstone First Responders team at their annual summer ball. The group - joined by several Whalley First


Responders - raised the funds through the tickets and from the raffle proceeds at the event, held at the Higher Trapp Hotel in Simonstone. After a four-course meal, the 60 volunteers


entered a raffle with prizes including champagne, hampers filled with meat and salmon, and hotel and restaurant vouchers. The formal occasion saw many of the ladies in


ballgowns and the men in dinner jackets. Mr Gordon Thorpe of the first responders team


said: “A good night was had by all. “We plan to now hold the event annually at the


hotel. “We would like to thank everyone for supporting


the event including the staff, management and suppliers at the Higher Trapp, who have been a great support to these events and have also donat­ ed many raffle prizes.” (T020704/4)
