Pupils air their views in county council chamber
AN animated exchange of views on the thorny to p ic of fox hunting raged in the main debat ing chamber a t Coimty Hall, in Preston. It was not county coun
cillors who thrashed out the arguments, but chil dren from Pendle Primary School, in Clitheroe. A group of 64 children
visited County Hall, where they were welcomed by county council chairman, Coun. Nora Ward, and cabinet member for educa tion, Coun. Alan Whittak er. They explained to the children how the county council works and there was a chance to put theory into practice when the youngsters held their own debate in the hallowed chamber. Organised by teachers
Mr Paul Atkinson and Mrs Veronica Tobin, the debate

Royal Lancashire Show LANCASHIRE’S biggest celebration of country life returns to the Ribble Val ley this summer. The Royal Lancashire
Show will be held for the third year a t its new home, Salesbury Hall, at Ribchester. Despite a faltering start
in 2003, with awful weather forcing the can cellation of the show’s final day, i t is now well- established at its new and more rural showground. This year it will be held
on Tuesday July 26th, Wednesday the 27th and Thursday the 28th, with organisers now hard a t work planning the event. The days when the
show was aimed just at the farming community are long gone. Now i t appeals to a

Mountaineers head for Lake District peaks
MEMBERS of Clitheroe Mountaineer ing Club travelled to Patterdale. Setting out from Goldrill Bridge, near
the White Lion Hotel, the party headed for Boardale House to reach the twin summits of Angletam Pikes. Here excel lent views were enjoyed of the snow- dusted tops of the Helvellyn range before descending to the shores of Angle Tarn to pick up the path leading to Satura Crag and Rest Dodd, where the familiar distant profile of Great Gable was spotted, framed by the deep depres sion of Deepdale House. The group quickly moved from the
exposed, grassy dome of Rest Dodd to continue to the Knott, where lunch was enjoyed in the lee of a dry stone wall and extra warm clothing put on in expecta tion of further buffeting on the whale- backed crest of High Street. After reach ing the trig, point on its summit, the party headed for the beacon on Thorn- thwaite Crag and then descended steeply down scree and rough ground to arrive at Threshthwaite Mouth, where the track leading into Threshthwaite Cove was followed to Low Hartsop. Approaching the village, remains of old lead mine workings were spotted, includ ing the site of a water wheel powered by water diverted from the surrounding fells. A further two miles of valley walk ing returned members to Patterdale. Another recent club day meet took
members to the unlikely winter sports venue of Castleford in West Yorkshire for ice climbing and skiing at the Xscape Snowdome complex. The climbers enjoyed vertical icefalls routes in refrig erated temperatures of -12 degrees before a curious audience of Sunday afternoon shoppers in the surrounding shopping mall, while the skiers swooped down indoor slopes with alpine ambi ence. Further climbing sessions have taken
place on Wednesday evenings at Roe- field climbing wall which will continue until the start of midweek, outdoor rock climbing at the beginning of May. Fur ther details may be obtained from Tony Halliwell, on 01200 429396. The club’s next oudoor meet will be a

Trip back in time
MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley branch of the Lancashire Family History and Her aldry Society joined together for their February meeting, where they heard guest speaker Mr John Aspin talk about his ancestors and his research over the past few years. In the first half of the 19th Century, the
Entwistle and Morris families lived on Haslingden Grane, which at that time was a thriving community with quarrying mills
and many dwellings. These families gained some notoriety for
their illicit distilling of whisky in what appears to be quite substantial quantities. Secret rooms were created within the dwellings to hide the illegal activity from
the law. The remains of the dwellings can still be
seen and walks around the area with a guide, which could be Mr Aspin, start from the Grane Visitor Centre. Mr Aspin showed slides of the area to
illustrate his talk.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, March 10th,‘2005 • 17 ■ Stone thefts: be extra vigilant, warn police
POLICE are appealing to Ribble Val ley residents to be extra vigilant after a series of stone thefts. Valuable stone paving slabs have
been removed from several locations over the past few weeks, often in broad daylight. In other cases, entire sections of dry stone wall have been taken, often in remote rural locations.
i<.M K f However, the thieves are so brazen
that they can be mistaken for genuine workmen carrying out legitimate work. A spokesman for Clitheroe police
said: “People assume that because there is no attempt to hide what they are doing, they are genuine workmen. I t is only when they pack up and go

and don’t come back that people get concerned.” The police are urging anyone whose
suspicions are aroused to contact them without hesitation. The police would rather attend a
dozen genuinely motivated false alarms than miss a single crime in progress because a witness thought it
probably was not worth bothering them. Other advice to the public is to note
down the registration numbers and descriptions of any suspicious vehi cles or the descriptions of individuals. But above all, if your suspicions are
aroused, call the police immediately on 01200 443344.
