THE spring of 2003 marked a new chapter in the life of Simp­ sons the motor dealership, found­ ed 63-years ago by Edgar Simp­ son.


Edgar was the father of the


current managing director, Clif­ ford, and grandfather to Neil Simpson, retailer principal of the Skoda dealership for Colne and the surrounding area. The com­ pany, still a family-owned busi­ ness today, joined the Skoda brand, a move which has proved to be very popular to say the least. Demand for Skodas has risen


rapidly and the decision to take on this popular franchise has

been well and truly vindicated. Until recently, Simpsons Skoda


was operating from its old site in Knotts Lane, Colne. However, for around a month,


Simpson’s Skoda has been ensconced in its brand new pur­ pose-built complex constructed on the former Simpson’s site at Boundary Garage, Burnley Road in Colne. The new building meets the


Skoda from its retailer network and includes an impressive new showroom along with large parts and accessories shop and state- of-the-art servicing and M.O.T facilities. Simpsons Skoda is holding an


Invitation Evening for customers past and present tonight, when Mr. Chris Craft, Director of Skoda Auto, will officially open the new site and guests will be invited to look over the new facil­ ities. Refreshments will be available


high standards demanded by Simpsons Skoda Launch Week­


and the talented Skoda range will of course be on display. This is part of the ‘Official


Prestons


end’ taking place from the tonight right through to Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May. On Friday April 30th, Satur­


day 1st, Sunday 2nd and Mon­ day 3rd of May, you will be able to take advantage of some amaz­ ingly attractive offers on new and used Skodas along with a great selection of other used cars right across the entire four days! There has never been a better


time to visit your local Skoda retailer, Simpsons Skoda at Boundary Garage, Burnley Road in Colne. Call (01282) 864266 for more


details about this momentous event.

Locals see title slip


PROMOTED Clitheroe B missed out on the Black­ burn and District Bad­ minton Association Second Division title in their final game. The locals took on sec­


ond-placed St Philip’s requiring six wins from the 16 games for the champi­ onship. The first game was an


indication of things to come as Tony Bush and Sheila Perry failed to take any of five game points. Damian Evans and Julie


Pym, and Mark Perry and Liz Maskell, won a mixed doubles each to keep Clitheroe’s hopes alive. Two further ladies’ dou­


bles wins from Lisa Fielding and Perry, and Pym and Maskell, left the men need­ ing two wins from the last four games, but they were unable to win a single game, leaving Clitheroe having to be satisfied with promotion. • Club sessions continue


on Thursday evenings at Moorland School, between 8-10 p.m.


Whalley’s '' fine start


BOTH Whalley’s A and B teams got off to a flying start in the East Lan­ cashire Open Tennis League. The newly-promoted A


team beat Blackburn Northern B 4-1. The first pairing of


Andrew Moore and Richard Lambert droppe- donly six games in their ^ two rubbers, while second string Mathew Cuynes and Gerry Breese won a tight three-setter in their opening contest, before succumbing to the Black­ burn first pairing in their second match. After their cup win against Accrington, Whal-


ley B won all four rubbers against Feniscowles B. The pairings of Gordon


Pimherton and Guy Purves, david Walters and Andrew Cuynes were in scintillating form as they raced to a 5-0 victory.
