More for shoppers as SOS joins Sara’s


THERE is now a fantastic range of gifts, toys, clothing, home interiors and stylish furniture under one roof at Clitheroe's award-winning shop - Sara's. Customers will be glad to hear that the well-


established children’s shop in Castle Street, is now bigger and better than ever - thanks to SOS re-locating into Sara's. The expansion will provide a whole new shop­


ping experience for customers in the Ribble Val­ ley and beyond.

However, SOS (which stands for Sara’s Other


Shop!) mil now be found above Sara's, boasting two spacious rooms full of modern and stylish furniture and an exclusive range of gifts. 0\vner Sara Collinge believes the shake-up will prove a welcome addition to the town, and cus-


tomers will enjoy browsing downstairs as well as upstairs, where they will find an endless range of interior goods, children's toys as well as gifts and clothing.


She added: "SOS was always very tiny and we


felt it was cramped. "With SOS moving.into Sara's there xvill be two


rooms dedicated to homeware. Customers will find there is more choice and good value for money.


"We do not want customers to think SOS has


disappeared. We want people to know that the shopping experience at Sara's is even more excit­ ing now that SOS has re-located upstairs.” To mark the new look, the doors of Sara’s were


thrown open on Tuesday evening, when civic dig­ nitaries, friends and customers were invited to join in on the re-launch celebrations. Guests received a warm welcome and a glass of

In addition, Sara praised the efforts of her


team, which consists of the shop's in-house artist and manageress, Susan Griffiths-Parker, and shop assistants Susan Frost and Shabana Younis, for their hard work over the past few weeks. Goods offered at the busy shop include a larger


range of furniture, lots more home interiors, chi- naware, lamps, artificial flowers, picture frames, glassware and candles. Meanwhile, Sara's continues to sell children’s


clothing, gifts, plus a huge range of children’s gifts and toys.


The move has forced the temporary closure of


its popular pottery painting studio, but Sara is pleased to announce that arrangements are being made to re-open the studio at an alternative venue as soon as possible.

AN afternoon spent exploring the area above Knowle Green was enjoyed by 19 members of Clitheroe Ramblers’ Associa­ tion and friends. As the walkers assembled at the village


hall it was a pleasant August afternoon, but there was a threat of rain later. The route devised by walk leader John

Moor Hey, a path restored to the map as a result of the efforts of the Ramblers Association, before climbing to the site of Reedy Snape. There, with the help of a farmer, they
