H U R S T G R E E N


New vicar The parishioners of St John's, Hurst Green, are looking forward to the licensing of their new vicar, the Rev. Stuart Ridley, which is due to take place at All Hallows, Mitton, on Tuesday, March 22nd, at 7-30 p.m.


They will also be joined by parish­ ioners


from


Waddington and West Bradford, as Rev. Ridley will be taking on responsibil­ ity for all four parish­ es. St John's, which has been without a vicar since the depar­ ture of the Rev. David Crosby last summer, is currently advertising for a part-time vicar to assist Mr Ridley and live in Hurst Green's vicarage.


Mr David Jacques, the c h u r c h w a r d e n , explained that despite the current absence of a local vicar,: "St John's has managed to go for­ ward in the mean­ time thanks to the spiritual guidance offered by Father Ian Robbins, a retired priest from Whalley."


Dream team Even those villagers with no normal desire to start the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times from the back


page have been show­ ing some interest in


.sporting matters recently. Hurst Green football team is cur­ rently top ■ of its league, undefeated for three months under manager Neil Brown. However, things are very close at the top and with seven games to go the excitement is mount­ ing. Meanwhile, the second team, man­ aged by Barry Bolton and David Jacques, is third in the reserve division.


Cricket There may still be snow on Pendle Hill, but local cricketers are turning their thoughts to the sum­ mer sport. Net prac­ tice is due to start within the next few weeks, and the sum­ mer tour has just been arranged. The players will be off to W o r c e s t e r sh ir e between June 19th and 21st.


Wl Mrs Kath Young, the president of Hurst Green WI, and Mrs Gill McDonnell, the secretary, are off to Southport's Floral Hall next Tuesday, where they will repre­ sent their branch at the Lancashire Fed­ eration of Women's Institutes' Spring Executive. This year is the 50th birthday of Hurst Green's WI, and local members will be enjoying a


meal at the New Drop Inn on Tues­ day, March 22nd. The birthday cele­ brations continue on Thursday, April 28th, when members of other WIs have been invited to a party in the village hall.


Hall AGM The AGM of the vil­ lage hall committee takes place on Mon- dayat 7-30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend the meet- mg.

VIemorial lunch Medieval customs from West Bradford and Bashall Eaves were among the sto­ ries told by speaker Peter Watson at the Peter Morgan Memorial Luncheon in Knowle Green Vil­ lage Hall on Sunday when he spoke on "North Country Folklore, Beliefs and Superstitions".


He amused and delighted his audi­ ence with his tales of the past. The event was a happy reminder of the past chairman who did so much tor the rejuve­ nation of the hall and made in excess of £500 for its funds.


Thoughts of the com­ mittee are now turn­ ing to the upgrading and extension of the hall. If anyone has any thoughts on this
