THE centre of a Kibble Valley village is undergoing major changes as the foun­ dations for a new store are


laid. Demolition workers moved


into Rimington at the begin­ ning of the month and, within


days, the front half of Cos­ groves and the adjoining house were razed _ to the ground. Work has now begun on


building a two-storey fashion house on the site, while the ladieswear business will con­ tinue to operate at the rear. The menswear department has moved to Cosgroves’


Whalley premises. The new- look store is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Work will then begin on two


properties to be built on the existing site, following the demolition of the rear of the building. Cosgroves was established


in 1896.


Lions celebrate 21st birthday in style Red Rose speakers will have something for all


THE speakers at Red Rose Coun­ ties' May's literary events should appeal to sportsmen, farmers and dog-lovers alike. The son of famous cricket com­


mentator Brian Johnston will be telling diners about the biography of his father's life he has recently published. He joins David Kennard, a


North Devon farmer who has incorporated videos and books into his busy lifestyle, at Mytton Fold Hotel, Langho on May 5th and 6th.


Starting out as a shepherd,


David Kennard shot the footage for his best-selling video himself, asking vet-actor Christopher Tim­ othy to do the voiceover. The video sold more than 50,000


copies and, for anyone who has a working dog or a pet collie, it has become a must-buy. Headline Publishers snapped him up and the new author will be


A CHARITY fund-raising group “came of age” at a sparkling celebration. Clitheroe Lions Club held its 21st


Anniversary Charter Dinner at the Moor­ cock Inn, an event described as excellent by Lions’ PRO Mr Geoff Braithwaite. Lions President Mr Arthur Mick-


lewright introduced the top table guests, who included the past and present Lions District Governors, president of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe Canon Jim Duxbury, president of Ribblesdale Rotary Club Mr Trevor Scott, chairman of Clitheroe Round Table MrBrian Alston, and their wives and husbands. Following dinner, the president, in


toasting Lions Club International, spoke of the tremendous spirit within the


Clitheroe club and highlighted that it had raised more than £6,000 this year, which has been given to good causes such as the Salvation Army, Friends of Chernobyl’s Children, Ribble Valley Crossroads and Clitheroe First Responders, and many individuals. He thanked his club officers for their


services and the Rotary Clubs and Round Table for their friendship. On a sad note he then spoke of the


death of Miss Heather Schofield presi­ dent of Ribble Valley Rotaract Club. The toast “Our Ladies and Guests”


was proposed by Lion David Hepworth, who had done his homework and so told amusing stories about the top table guests and some of the members.


The response on behalf of the guests


and to Lions Club International was given by Lions District Governor Mrs Sylvia Fosbery, who congratulated the Clitheroe club on its 21st anniversary and for its work in the community. She added that she had attended more


than 40 charter dinners and that their’s was one of the best. She praised the pres­ ident’s speech and said that she was pleased that so many Clitheroe Lions and their wives had attended the district convention. Our picture shows, from the left, Mr


and Mrs Alston, Mr and Mrs Fosberry, Mr and Mrs Micklewright, Mr Scott, Mrs Patricia Duxbury and Canon Duxbury. (A160404/3b)

Roefield members go for ‘the burn’


MEMBERS of Roefield Leisure Centre have been turning up the heat and really going for “the bum” in the last six weeks.


More than 110 entries were


received to take part in a calorie challenge where they had a m in i, mum of 3,000 calories to bum dur­ ing a three-week period.


Mr Tony Ormiston joined the centre m Edisford Road, Clitheroe, via the GP referral scheme.


Since then, Mr Ormiston has lost


over a stone in weight and reduced his blood pressure significantly. He praised the calorie challenge


for giving him fresh motivation. All the members who participat­


ed in the challenge worked hard some burning 12,000 calories over three weeks and some even com­ pleting the challenge twice, burning a staggering 24,000 calories. A spokeswoman for Roefield


commented: “Irrespective of their current fitness levels all our mem­ bers worked extremely hard and the success of the challenge overall was


fantastic.” The total number of calories


burned through the exercise was 350,821.
