> ‘ I 4 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, October 28th, 2004 concert organiser Margaret
TRIBUTES were made to the late Mrs Margaret Clark, con cert organiser for Clitheroe Concerts Society for the past 11 years, at the first concert of the season. Chairman Dr Robert Parker
paid tribute to Mrs Clark, who died in September. He read excerpts from a letter sent by the secretary of Making Music North West, part of the National Federation of Music Societies. “We all have very happy
memories of Margaret’s warm personality, and her tremen dous contribution to music making, both in her own society and in the work of the North West Committee, particularly North West Classical Music Tours,” he said. “Margaret has set us a very
high standard to follow, and I am sure she will not be far from our thoughts as we enjoy cham ber concerts in the years ahead.” Arrangements for this sea
son’s performances in Clitheroe were completed by Mrs Clark from her hospital bed earlier in the year. The first recital, last week,
was by The Kandinsky Piano Trio who gave a \vonderful con cert with Haydn’s Trio in D Minor, a brilliant interpretation of Ravel’s piano Trio composed in 1914, and concluding with

Woman trouble led to carer killin
A CLITHEROE carer, described as “happy go lucky” and “th e life and soul of th e p a r ty ” hanged himself because of woman troubles.
An inquest heard that Kevin Myers (45), who had become depressed and start ed drinking heavily, had confided in a friend that he was in love. The inquest was told that Mr Myers, of
Whitewell Drive, Clitheroe, had a consid erable drink problem since he was just 14 years old. His sister, Susan Roberts, said that
Dvorak’s piano Trio in E Minor played in exuberant fashion as befits the tunes based on a Ukranian folk dance. The concert was a most suit
able tribute to Mrs Clark’s work. On November 10th there will
be an evening of music from the English drawing room based on Jane Austen’s extensive collec tion of hand written and print ed music, and other contempo rary sources. The programme will also be
interspersed with literary read ings.
despite his drink problems and bouts of depression to the outside world, her broth er was someone who was “upbeat, happy-' go-lucky and fun to be with.
“■^^hen he started with his depression
problems it was a contradiction to the per son he was,” said Mrs Roberts. “He was a very loving person and he was
devoted to his daughter.” Friend Mr Derek Parkington, who was lodging with Mr Myers at the time of his death, said he was always the first to get up singing and dancing and he would drag everybody else up. He said Mr Myers had confided in him
that something was “doing his head in” and made a comment about “topping” himself. “At the time he was drinking heavily, he
was trying to cover the depression, but he was making it worse,” said Mr Parkington. “It was a woman that was preying on his
Luncheon marks fifth anniversary
mind; he said he was in love.” Mr Parking ton returned from work on August 10th to find himself locked out.
He eventually got in through a bedroom
window and when he came downstairs found Mr Myers hanging by a rope from the stairs. Recording a verdict tha t Mr Myers
killed himself, deputy coroner Mrs Car olyn Singleton said that in the few days before his death Mr Myers had been drink ing heavily. “He was being caused considerable anxi
ety by a relationship with a lady and what ever it was he was obviously going through personal crisis,” said Mrs Singleton. “That manifested itself in his decision to take his own life.”
Bovvland walk enjoyed
RAMBLERS from Clitheroe were in the heart of Rowland for their Tuesday walk. From the Inn at 'Whitewell they walked
up the steep road towards Cow Ark, turning left over boggy ground to Crimpton. The group then crossed the road and took
the permissive path to Crag Stones, a strik ing rock feature which can be seen from Eas- ington, from the Waddington/Newton fell road. Half an hour of heavy rain gave way to dry weather with a hint of sunshine, defy ing the weather forecast. After lunch the party of 23 left Crag
Stones and made for Foulscales and Giddy Bridge to admire the restored country man sion of Knowlmere, used in several television programmes. Flocks of redwing were seen and a member of the party disturbed a snipe. From Giddy Bridge, the route took the ramblers over Hodder Bank Fell, down Fielden Clough to Burholme and a final stroll back to Whitewell.
Police advice for Hallowe’en fun
by Vmen Meath
LANCASHIRE Police are ask ing people wishing to celebrate Hallowe’en by visiting Pendle Hill to be prepared and to be aware of parking restrictions. Pendle is open once again from
both sides and police are expecting a large number of visitors on Hal lowe’en night. In preparation, officers in East
ern and Pennine Division are asking visitors to be aware of the tempo rary one-way system that will oper ate around Pendle on Sunday and to be aware of where they leave their cars. There will also be a tem porary 30 m.p.h. speed limit from the Pendleton Road junction on the Clitheroe side of Pendle, over the Nick 0’ Pendle to Sabden.
From the A59 vehicles can travel
up the hill and over to Sabden, through to Barley and around the hill. There will be no vehicular access from Sabden village on to the hill. A one-way traffic system will be in operation from Barley village to Four Lane Ends and road closed signs will be placed across the road at Annab Cross to prevent vehicles travelling into Barley from the Pen dle Hill road. Limited parking will be available
on the hilbide and drivers are asked to leave their sidelights on - there will be no parking at the top of the hill. Anyone parking in the villages of Sabden and Barley should ensure they are not blocking entrances, gateways or drives. No waiting cones will be placed to control park ing and police will enforce parking restrictions throughout the evening.
Police officers from Pennine and
Eastern Division will be patrolling the roads around the hill and a Mountain Rescue Team will be on standby. Insp. Bob Ford, of Clitheroe Police, is asking visitors to come
prepared. He said: “'We are expecting a
large number of people to visit this year and would ask tha t anyone going on to the hill wear appropri ate clothing, stay on designated footpaths and don’t wander too far. I t is very easy to get lost if the weather is poor or if there is low cloud. “ I abo ask that drivers are very
careful - the road is unlit and potentially very dangerous for pedestrians” The one-way system will be in force from 5 p.m. on Sunday.
