Ciitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 30th, 2004 11 Village’s blueprint for future


A BLUEPRINT for the future devel­ opment of Whalley, envisaged by those who live and work there, has . been published by Whalley Action Group. Its comprehensive and detailed


“Parish Plm” has been compiled with the financial support of the Country­ side Agency under its “Vital Villages Scheme” and facilitated by the project manager for Clitheroe the Future Partnership, Richard Jackson. The Vital Villages Scheme was set


up by the Coimtryside Agency to: • Help small rural communities to


take stock of their village • Identify what they need to revi­


talise it • Ensure local people have a voice


in their future 9 To provide support to enable each village to make its own decisions and to implement some of the improve­ ments needed locally. Small rural communities were


encouraged to get involved with the scheme by forming an action group of interested people, usually under the auspices of the parish or town council. Such groups comprise local council­ lors, residents, traders, representatives of local groups, clubs and organisa­


tions and anyone else with an active interest in the life and future of the community. Building on the work of an initial appraisal report, the Whal­ ley Action Group has spent the past year meeting and consulting with many groups in the village to try to address the major issues raised by res­ idents. Action Group Chairman Alan Holgate said he was very pleased with the completed plan and thanked all those who had contributed to its con­ tent. He hopes that the resulting action plan will be implemented and calls upon the statutory authorities to play their part in assisting Whalley in


achieving their objectives. The full plan will be available for the public to read at Whalley Library over the next few weeks and \vill also be available on the new Whalley web-site (www.whal- leyparishcouncil.org.uk) in due course. “We hope that residents, business


owners and service users will take the opportunity to look at the plan,” said Mr Holgate. On October 28th a public meeting will be held in the Village Hall, when it is hoped that members of the public will come along to discuss how to take the actions fohvard and volunteer to be involved in the work of the Action Group.

Rascals’ best feet forward


YOUNGSTERS who attend Edisford After School Club enjoyed a sponsored walk m


fancy dress to raise funds for the The walk, which took place around the


adventure t i ^ and playground, was a great success and well supported by parents. A total of £310 was raised, which will be


used to buy toys and equipment for the children. Rascals’ Retreat is a very success­ ful out-of-school club catering for children from three to 11 years of age.


THE RIBBLE Valley’s Mayor and Mayoress have pledged their support to a lo ^ worthy cause and called on oth­ ers to join them. Coun. Charles Warkman and his


wife, Ruth, have become members of the East Lmcashire Hospice Lottery in a bid to raise awareness of the worth­ while charity and its funding needs. The hospice, which cares for termi­


nally ill cancer sufferers and their fami­ lies, introduced the lottery in April 2003 as a fund-raising initiative. Mr Warkman, who recently visited


the Blackbum-based charity with his wife and saw first-hand the invaluable work it does, commented: ‘“The hospice is superbly run with marvellous staff, but needs every support we are able to pveit.” The lottery, which organisers claim


has better odds than the National Lot­ tery, boasts 4,800 members and made a profit of £140,000 in its first year. For


A 16-YEAR-OLD s tu­ dent working part-time at McDonald’s was given a “clout round the ear” by a fellow member of staff. Blackburn magistrates


heard that the two did not get on and Kabeel Afzal reacted when the teenager clicked his pen in his face. Afzal (22), of Garbett


Street, Accrington, plead­ ed guilty to assault. He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £50 compensation and £50 costs. Mr Tom Snape (prose­


cuting) said the teenager was in the “crew room” at the McDonalds on the A 59 at Barrow and was just about to start work. There were two other members of staff in the


just £1 a week, members are entered into a draw offering 33 prizes every week; £1,000 being the first prize, £250 the second and £100 the thhd, with 30 consolation prizes of £5. Mr Harry Grayson, head of fimd-


raiang for the hospice, explained that 70p out of every £1 donated goes diiwtV towards the hospica He added: “The more people who


consider pledging their support to the lottery the more money we will raisa “A 70p contribution from each mem­


ber docs not sound like a lot of money, but when you multiply that 70p by 4,800 members, that reedly will mike a differenca” The hospice, which relies heavily on


re^onal generoaty and support, is hop­ ing to achieve a membership of 6,000 by March 2005. This week the Town Mayor and


Mayoress of Clitheroe also pledged their support to the hospice. Coun.


room including Afzal, who he didn’t get on with. “He clicked his pen in


the defendant’s face prompting him to swing a punch,” said Mr Snape. “He blocked that blow,


but was struck with a sec­ ond punch on his ear. “I t caused him consid­


erable pain and he had a ringing in his ear.” Mr Ian Smithies


(defending) said his client had been severely pro­ voked. “What sparked this off


was a comment made by the teenager followed by him flicking his pen in his face,” said Mr Smithies. “My client says the pen


was actually moved across his nose and marked him. As a consequence he lost his temper.”


Joan Knight and Mrs Helen Ashworth met Mr Harry Grayson to sign up to the lottery. If you would like to become a lottery member, please call Ann or Judith on

Staff member ‘clouted’ teen Club’s trek around the Lake District Accused


SEVERAL members of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club headed off to the Lake District for th e i r monthly day walk. Although the venue was Hellvel-


lyn, the appalling weather started to make even the most keen mem­ bers think of other options while they kitted up on the car park a t Glenridding. The alternatives proposed


ranged from a day in the pubs and cafes, to a circular drinking tour of UUswater on one of the steamers. However, as there were new and


prospective members attending, such frivolities could not be consid­


ered. A route was selected, going by


Greenside Mines to Red 'Tarn, where it would be possible to judge the conditions on Hellvellyn. On a r riving a t the ta rn , th e


cloud had lifted a little and the rain had eased considerably, so i t was off along Swirral Edge and on


to the summit. Here the cloud cleared away, giving some good views in return for the effort made getting there. The descent was made along


Striding Edge, which was even more interesting than usual due to the wet rock and the blustery wind. On the way back down to Glenrid­ ding, the rain began once more, but the views over UUswater were occa­ sionally spectacular as the sun broke out and shone through the storm-washed atmosphere. ■ Over a brew in the cafe, members


reflected on how they had snatched a thoroughly good outing around a classic ridge walk in the middle of an unpleasant spell of weather. The next indoor meeting is on


Thursday, October 21st, and fea­ tures a practical rope work session for climbers and walkers. On Sunday, October 24th, the


venue for the walk is Carrock Fell in the northern Lake District.
