ON a day which always threatened rain, but managed to stay dry, 10 members of: Clitheroe Ramblers assembled near Middle Flass for a walk led by Mrs Pat Parrott, which challenged the record of being the muddiest walk ever. Descending to Monubent Beck,


five sika deers were sighted and a heron flew overhead.


, , The path to Forest Becks was


yery soggy and great care had to be taken on all the stiles, which were without exception sound in con­ struction, but hazardous and slip­ pery due to the recent prolonged spell of wet weather. ■ The track was taken to Monubent Head, where some road walking was necessary before tak­ ing the farm track to Lords Farm and Hyles Moor. Lunch was taken at that point


■ . the bank gave way under his feet.


V - However, he came up smiling, , and continued unperturbed. The route continued via Lower Agden and some careful navigating was required to get the group to. Higher Flass.


: A road walk brought them to the


;; path to New House and on to the hamlet of Grunsagill.. , A short walk brought them to


Lower Gills and on to Bracken- hurst. From there they went up to Ray Head, then struggled through the mud to cross Monubent Beck, and up to Blue Scar and back to the starting point just as the rain start­ ed. Next Tuesday’s walk will be to Widdop and Walshaw. For further details telephone:

Enthusiastic Hardly a seat was to be had at A Night at the Opera in Whalley Methodist Church on Saturday. ' ; The artists Maria King, a


pianist and graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music (R.N.C.M.), Kris- tenc Sutcliffe and Helen Jar- many, soloists, who are both undergraduates at the col­ lege, performed a variety, of items with the two singers transforming themselves into sleek cats to perform Meow for their encore. A solo was also sung by a friend, Mr Sitveni Whippy, who hopes to study at the R;N.C.M. The event was the idea of


Helen’s mother, Michele, who is studying to be a min­ ister in the United Reformed Church and is on placement with Rev. Chris Cheeseman at Whalley Methodist Church. The event raised £150


towards training a Methodist minister in Kenya. This is a good start for the second year of a three-year programme, £4,000 having just been sent to help train the minister and support his family. Other events for the summer are in the pipeline.


Weather Parents of children at


Whalley Primary School arc asked to take note of local weather forecasts and media announcements in case the school has to bo closed.


School’s Out ; Bookings arc now being


taken at the school office or by School’s Out organisers


for half-term holiday club from Monday, February 16th to Friday, February 20th.


Successful camel Although known as a very


hopeless camel, this animal proved to be a great success when he and other children from Key Stage 2 took part in a Christmas play at Whalley Primary School in December. The children have now


been consulted and out of the £680 raised, donations of £50 have been sent to Dorian House Children’s Hospice, the N.S.P.C.C. and the R.S.P.C.A. The remainder of the


money has been spent on a set of largo soft bricks to supplement a set bought earlier, a set of road safety equipment for outdoor play, a large pirate ship and hos­ pital for group imaginative play and some lacing boards to teach children how to tie shoo laces. The majority of these items have already arrived at the school.


Party night Young people aged 11 to


16 years in the Whalley area are invited to a party at Rendezvous nightclub from 6-30 p.m. to 9-30 p.m. on Thursday, February 13th. The event has; been


; organised by Jason Taylor, police community support officer in the village and the club management with sup­ port from Ribble Valley Borough Council, which has supplied tickets and posters. Officer Taylor, whose idea


this was, stresses that rowdy behaviour will not be toler­ ated and any youngsters arriving appearing to be under the influence of alco­ hol will bo taken home to their parents. Ho hopes the


party will be a success and that other events will follow. Tickets costing £2.50 are


available from Whalley Warm and Dry. All young people buying tickets will have to leave their names and where they go to school.


Alpha “Who is Jesus?” is the


title for the talk and discus­ sion at the new; 10-week Alpha course beginning this evening in Whalley Primary School. Now people are always welcome to drop in. There will be a buffet supper from 7 p.m. until 7-45 p.m., this being flexible to cater for those working or retired. About 25 people attended


last Thursday’s supper and talks, which marked the end of the previous course.


Gardening Catalogues from a major


seed company will shortly be available in Whalley Parish Church so that orders may be taken, thus raising some money for church funds.


Senior citizens Winners at the senior citi­


zen group were: Ladies whist - Mrs E.


and Mrs D. Farnsworth. Dominoes - Mrs M.


Charnley and Mrs P. Wooff. Gents whist - Mr J. Wooff

urday at 6 p.m. in Whalley Methodist School and new members are always wel­ come. For further details ; call 01254 822988.


The Great War A very detailed talk


explaining many misconcep­ tions about World War One was given by Mr Norman Thorpe to Whalley and Dis­ trict Historical and Archeo­


logical Society. All members left with a great deal of food. for thought.


\ ■ The next meeting is at


Whalley Abbey on Thurs- : day, February 12th when Mr Nigel Morgan will speak on Lancashire - A Timber framed county. New mem­ bers are welcome and any­ one wanting further details should call C. Ward on 01254 53866.

Operatic success Whalley Methodist


Church was packed on Sat­ urday evening when talent­ ed musicians from the Royal Northern College of Music entranced the capacity audi­ ence with "A Night at the Opera".


1 Kristene Sutcliffe and


Helen Jarmany, botli cur­ rently studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, presented an extensive pro­ gramme, opening with the well known "Flower Duet," by Delibes. Amongj the many composers represent­ ed were Purcell, Mo^rt, Handel, Gershwin and Offenbach.


| Their programme |vas


accompanied hy Maria King, professional pianist and part-time member, of staff at the RNCM. \ At the conclusion, vocifer­


ous applause from the audi­ ence resulted in an encore in the form of the "Cat" duet by Rossini.


\ The proceeds from the


evening, amounting to £500, went to the fund organised by the Clitheroe Methodist Circuit to sponsor Kenyan student Reuben Katana through a three-year degree course to become an ordained minister in Kenya..

-


Council’s Water Fluoridation Task Grciip was completed this month and includes responses to a question to people throughout the county asking if they thought the chemical sh mid be


added to water. The answer was a resounding “no” inall dis­


tricts, ranging from 72.5% in Burnley td 100% in Rossendale. The Ribble Valley “no” response was 76.5%.


| 'The report was to come under discussion at


the county council’s External Overview and Scrutiny Committee, which has been adeed to support the report and consider how members wished to forward it.

information taken from medical experts’ ethi-- :■ cal arguments and public opinion, appsar to show that Lancashire County Cour.cil is against the adding of hoxafluoric acid to Water supplies to fluoridate it. The report conclusion states that fluoridation would not eradicaio the problem of poor dental health and does not overcome deficiencies caused by social class.

sense to tackle causes of decay than symptoms and there are many other ways to use fluoride without adding it to the water supply. I t is important for parents to look after their chil­ dren’s teeth.”


j The recommendation made by Task Group


members is: “That, should Lancashire Comty Council be consulted by the Health Authority on any proposal to add fluoride to the water supply in any part of Lancashire that t\iis report be used to inform the response made.” However, it is now possible for Government


and Health Authorities to order the fluorida­ tion of water, despite the report’s conclusions and the “no” votes, once regulatory details arid consultations to be undertaken by health authorities are completed. This is due to an amendment in the Water Bill passed by Parlia­ ment last year which means water suppliers can no longer refuse requests by health author-j^ ities to fluoridate water.
