Line-dancers boost for charity
A HIGH-flying charity has benefited from the fancy footwork of Kibble Valley line-
d&nc6rs< A cheque for £238.50 has been sent to the
North West Air Ambulance by the Clitheroe and Chipping Line-dance groups. The money was raised at a special night
in Chipping when country and western duo the Deans performed, and dancers from Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire indulged in some fine footwork. All those who took part want to thank their supporters and particularly those who
gave donations and raffle prizes. In a letter sent with the cheque, members
thanked the air ambulance staff for all they do for the residents of Chipping and dis
trict. Being a remote area of the Kibble Valley
they are particularly appreciative of the helicopter and the potential help it offers. The line-dance group meets twice weekly.
On a Monday they dance from 8 to 10-30 p.m. in Chipping Village Hall and every Tuesday at Low Moor Club in Clitheroe. Learners and experienced dancers are all
invited to attend. . Club members are pictured with the
money they raised in aid of the North West Air Ambulance (s)

In mJ»ttcrs of romance and relationships things aren’t running •>' emoothly as they have been, but the middle of this week give you a chance to talk things over with someone you care foe Use this opportunity to clear the air and establish the bond you want with this person; if you wait too long, you could be
misunderstood.Your ability to advance your career o r vocational ambitions is strong, so show what you re made of and move in the direcUon of your dreams.
There’s no doubt you’ll attract attention, but whether it turns out to be positive o r negative will be largely up to you. Some of your eccentric behaviour causes older folks to raise an eyebrow as they worry about the influence you’re having on the youngsters around
you.You can improve any relationships if you remember that loving thoughts and considerate deeds hold more power as many near you feel tense and stretched to their limits.Just a little kindness from you can go a long Nvay.

Those with whom you have emotional ties seem closer as you start the week; in general your heart will be more open and your behaviour more loving. This extra depth of feeling may have less pleasant consequences for those you have a quarrel with and they could get a reaction from you that they hadn’t anticipated and won t enjoy. If you think a show of fireworks will work better than a quieter tone you can fire the opening shots now with your eyes wide open!

Relationships of various types are bound to evolve and go through changes: the more you listen to what others have to say. the better you’ll be able to adjust to life’s unpredictable
■ rhythms. Someone who acts like they have authority over you. whether real or imagined, needs to be told a thing o r two, however you don’t need to be harsh to get your point across. Female friends provide you with your best source of comfort; if you have an understanding sister spend some time with her.

Low cloud spoils views
TWENTY members of Clitheroe Ramblers set off from Slaidburn for an eight- mile walk to Dunsop Head
and back. Leaving the ■village past the
Hark to Bounty inn, the group followed country roads for the first part of the walk, turning off the road on to a track lead ing to Burn Side and then on to field paths to eventually reach a good grassy track. This climbed slowly to the
highest point of the walk, Dunsop Head, where lunch was taken in the shelter of the
wall. From this point, on a clear
day, there are excellent views of the surrounding fells, but unfortunately the clouds were low and little could be seen. After lunch and having
negotiated a tricky bog, the group followed good tracks off the fell, eventually reaching the old Hornby road, which links the Lune and Hodder
valleys. From this road the route
doubled back down towards Croasdale Beck, passing the derelict House of Croasdale before reaching and eventually crossing the beck, then follow ing it downstream to Croas dale and Shay Houses. From here the group crossed
fields and stiles to return to the centre of Slaidburn, per haps a little disappointed that despite a good forecast the weather had not been good enough for the excellent ■views visible for almost the entire length of this walk to be fully enjoyed.

£12.50, will be held at The Old Post House, Clitheroe, on Decem ber 10th. Anyone interested, including carers or relatives should ring the chairman, Gordon Dixon, on 01254 245611 for details by November 22nd.
Pink slippers are a talking point
THERE were four entries in Clitheroe Speakers' Club's annual evaluation compe
tition. The competition tested expertise in
delivering four minutes of constructive comments about a "target" speech deliv ered by club member Mrs Chris Carr. Entitled "Pink Slippers", the speech was
intended to demonstrate the use of the voice - its range, dynamics, use of pauses,
clarity and so on. Two of the three judges had been invited
from other clubs in the local area. Mrs Pamela Jelley, came from Burnley Ladies' Club, and Mr John Mathews from Burn
ley and Pendle Club. Together with Clitheroe club member
Mrs Margaret Banks they awarded the trophy to Mrs Dorothy Gertson. Runner-
up was Mrs Penny Ogden. The winner competes against the other
clubs in the area at the area competition in
January. T-he next meeting will be held at the
Young Farmers' Club, Clitheroe Auction Mart, at 7-30 p.m. on Monday. Inquiries to 01200 445580.

SOME of the newest members of Ribblesdale Camera Club featured among the winners of its most recent competition. Club secretary Ken Ged-
des wrote: “I t gives consid erable satisfaction to the many members who work so hard to make the club enter taining and informative when, after a competition judged by a fair and helpful judge, among the most suc cessful entrants are compar atively recently joined mem bers, giving some new names to add to the records.” After very positive judg ing by professional photog-
.rapher John C. Pye, the club’s print competition, on the theme of “The Farm at Work”, was won by Dennis Kendal. His picture of a farmers’
market in China, called "Who will Buy?", was an excellent print, full of action

A LEARNER driver stopped in the early hours of the morning because she was driving
in
Clitheroe town centre with no lights was later found to be nearly double the drink- drive limit. Laura Hodgson
(21), of Alderford Close, Clitheroe, was disqualified from driving for 16 months and fined £230 with £50 costs by Blackburn magistrates after pleading guilty to driving with excess alcohol and other than in accordance with a licence. Hodgson, who
gave a reading of 65 against the legal limit of 35, agreed to be referred to the drink drive rehabilitation pro gramme which, if completed success fully, will reduce her ban by up to four months.
