The town centre toilets are set to be reopened
PUBLIC toilets in the centre of Clitheroe should be open again soon after being refur bished. The toilets in the Ribble Valley Borough
Council car park have been closed for several weeks while work is carried out. The council is also refurbishing public toi
lets at Clitheroe Cemetery and Hurst Green. However, Clitheroe man Mr Ken Martin,
of Long Close, contacted the Clitheroe Advertiser concerned at the length of time the work was taking. He said that with the summer tourist sea
son now here, it was not acceptable to have well-used public toilets in the town centre closed. Mr Martin suggested the work could have been carried out during the winter months. Mr Rod Pearce, the borough council’s
senior surveyor, responded to those concerns. He said: “We expect the refurbishment of toilets in the council car park to be complet ed in about two weeks. In the meantime there are disabled facilities a t the toilets at Clitheroe Market and these are clearly sign posted from the council car park.”
Plant sale helps
charity cash grow A VERY successful plant sale was staged by members of the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale on Saturday. Despite the damp weather, crowds
in their hundreds flocked to support the annual sale, held outside the town’s United Reformed Church in Moor Lane. Up to £500 was raised on the day
and Rotarian David Frost, of Salthill Road, Clitheroe, would like to thank members of the club who donated the plants and Booths supermarket for supplying the plant bags. He said: “I was extremely pleased
by the support we received from the public. The money will be divided between Water Aid and local chari ties.” Our

Teddy fun at Oakhill
A HIGHLY-SUCCESSFUL Teddy bears' picnic was held in the grounds of Oakhill College, Whalley. Some 99 bears and their
young partners from nursery class 1 to Year 6 were seen "gadding about." Nursery chil dren through to Year 2 watched Uncle Peter’s magic show., which was followed by a picnic tea. Then there was a Teddy bear
hunt which, as the name sug gests, had Teds of all shapes and sizes hiding in the strangest of places. The older children were seen
scurrying around on a treasure hunt to find hidden clues throughout the school grounds before dancing the day away to the Jedi disco. A great day was had by all,
not least the PTA, which made the grand total of £495 for school funds. Pictured is Millie Holden, of

Siaidburn Silver Band’s CD sells out at its first sale day
by Duncan Smith
MORE than 60 copies of Siaidburn Silver Band’s first CD were sold at its
launch last week. The eagerly-awaited record
ing was snapped up by music lovers when the band played the first of its four “Brass at the Bounty” concerts at Slaidburn’s Hark to Bounty
Inn. Recorded over two days in
February at Dunsop Bridge Village Hall, the CD, has 15 tracks, many arranged by the band’s talented conductor, John Cowking. The final track was written
by local composer Beverly Ann Stoll and gives the CD its name, “Siaidburn Festival”. I t also features the famous
brass band march, “Siaid burn”, written by William Rimmer. He spent time recuperating
from illness in the village and wrote the piece at the request of the band after attending one of its weekly rehearsals. Other tracks range from
brass band standards to film soundtracks and from Chopin to Lennon and McCartney. Priced at just £8, the 15-
track CD is certainly good value for money and can be bought at any of the band’s engagements or from Clitheroe Music, in Moor Lane, Clitheroe. The three remaining Brass
at the Bounty summer con certs are planned for Thurs days June 24th, July 29th and August 26th, starting at 7-15 p.m. • The band has also donat
ed two copies to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times as prizes for a reader competi tion.
See next week’s edition for your chance to win.
Students in pioneering programme
THE attitude of young people in the Ribble Valley to drugs, alcohol and tobacco have been canvassed as part of a pioneering project organised by Lancashire County Council and the Lancashire Healthy Schools Pro gramme. About 120 pupils from 31 sec
ondary schools all over the county have taken part in three conferences, which involved discussions on their views and experience of drugs, alco hol and tobacco. Pupils from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and Ribblesdale
High School Technology College were among those taking part. The young people, aged 12,13 and
14, have taken in workshops sepa rately to their teachers to encourage them to be honest about their experi ences and knowledge. Every pupil at the conferences
completed a confidential question naire answering questions such whether they ever drank alcohol and why; had they smoked and where did they obtain the cigarettes; and whether they or their friends had experienced illegal drugs. All the
information will be collated to find out what drug education and advice is needed in Lancashire schools in coming years. A previous initiative to investigate
the knowledge and experiences of Lancashire primary school pupils proved a big success, with the final report into the findings due to be published later this year. County schools drugs adviser Mr
John Battersby said: "We keep the young people and the teachers in separate rooms so that they can relax and be honest with one another."
