A SMALL group of Clitheroe Ram blers met at Buckden, in the York shire Dales National Park, on the day of the annual gala. At Hubberholme, the route passed
the church which was originally the forest chapel of St Oswald of Hub berholme. There is an example of
one of only two surviving rood lofts and among the pews can be found the trademark of Robert Thompson, “the mouseman”, of Kilbum, a small carved mouse. A short stop was taken on the
banks of the River Wharfe where the group enjoyed the glorious sunshine.
The Dales Way was followed to Beckermonds where the way divert ed to ascend Horse Head Moor affording wonderful views of the Royal forest of Langstrothdale Chase and Bishopsdale. The first of only two or three showers occured at Halton Gill, but
by the time Litton was reached they had cleared and the sun reappeared. The group climbed to the top of
Old Cote Moor, with the trig point of 2,000 feet, before descending back into Bu'ckden where the gala mar quees and stalls were being packed away.

A popular resident of village
by Faiza Afzaal
THE death of popular great-grand mother Mrs Mary Isabel Dugdale (nee Oddie) has saddened the close-knit community of Waddington. The terms affectionate, kind and gentle
were often used to describe Mrs Dugdale, (pictured), who died at Queens Park Hos pital, in Blackburn, at the grand old age of 97.
Bom at New Ing Farm, Bolton-by-Bow-
land, in 1906, she was the youngest of six brothers and two sisters of the Oddie fami ly-
Always described as a very bright pupil,
she was educated at the village’s primary school and was the first girl from her school to attend the girls' grammar school in Clitheroe. After leaving, she helped on the family
farm and one of her daily tasks was prepar ing meals for the big family - this led to her becoming an excellent cook. During her teens the family moved to
Swindlehurst Farm, in Grindleton, where Mrs Dugdale continued with her daily duties. At the age of 24, she met her future hus
band, Mr Sampson Dugdale, at a village dance. They married in 1930 and ran a butcher’s
shop in Peel Street, Clitheroe. A few years later, the couple moved to
Waddington, where Mrs Dugdale went on to spend the next 66 years and where she raised her five children - four sons and one daughter. During her years in Waddington, while
her children John, Peter, Tommy, Rose mary and David were at school, she devel oped an interest in church activities and was actively involved with fund-raising events for the village’s St Helen’s Church. She was also a secretary of the Mothers’
Union for many years and was a member of Waddington Women’s Institute. Unfortunately, Mrs Dugdale was wid
owed at the age of 50 and later survived the loss of her two sons, John and Tommy. After the death of Mr Dugdale, the most
important aspect of her life was her family and she devoted her life to caring for them. She treasured every minute of spending
time with her growing family, which includ ed 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grand children. Describing her love and devotion towards
askers
her family and friends, Mrs Dugdale’s daughter, Rosemary, and son, Peter, said: “She always shared a genuine interest in others and we feel that she was the one who held the family together. “She will always be remembered for her
affection, cheerful smile and generosity of spirit.” The final two years of Mrs Dugdale’s life
were spent at Lowfield House Home for the Elderly, in Clitheroe.

Dad’s delight at success of son
A CLITHEROE father is intensely proud of. his son’s latest achievement. Mr Alan Hamilton, of Cowper
Avenue, has been in a celebratory mood after he discovered his son, Richard, had scooped the King’s Norton Prize for the best and most original thesis submitted this year by Ph.D students at Cranfield University. The 27-year-old, who was bom in the West Midlands, holds a first-class mas ters degree in physics from Durham University, and earlier this year gained a doctorate in physics from Cranfield. During his research work there he, his
professor and a colleague achieved a world’s first in molecular rectification. Mr Hamilton sen. moved to Clitheroe to be with his partner.
CHILDREN at Bolton-By-Bow- land Primary School travelled to Jamaica, Denmark and Alaska in a day - without leaving the school building! The thought of jetting off on holi
day fills everyone with excitement, so children from the village school certainly got into the holiday mood when their school hall was trans formed into an aeroplane, and the teachers into tour operators and cabin crew members. During the annual “Aeroplane
Day” event, youngsters ditched their books for passports as they passed through passport control and
were later escorted to their seats for their much-awaited flight. After a long-haul flight, the
youngsters were split into three dif ferent groups. Accompanied by a tour operator,
the pupils spent the morning visiting classrooms, which had been decorat ed wi th pictures depicting the lifestyles of Danish, Jamaican and American people. This gave the young holiday-mak
ers a chance to learn about another country’s language, traditions, cul tures and foods. Lunch was served aboard the “air craft” and foreign fun craft activities
kept the youngsters entertained all afternoon. Speaking on the successful “holi
day”, teacher Mrs Joanne Eidsforth, said: “All the pupils had great fun. They were filled with excitement and nothing could dampen their spirits. “We hold ‘Aeroplane Day’ to give
children an insight into the tradi tions of other countries. This way they appreciate other cultures by noting the differences and similari ties with their own.” Our picture shows the young trav
ellers with their passports ready for take-off. (A110604/3)
