A colourful talk to the


camera club A COLOURFUL and comprehensive slide show was given to Ribblesdale Camera Club by Mr Gor­ don Bartley, who titled his presentation “Colour, Shape and Form”. Starting with land­


scape photographs, Mr Bartley moved on to photographs of pre­ served railways and the history of Concorde. Mr Bartley worked on the aeroplane when


■ he was at British Aero­ space and is a guide to the preserved Concorde sited at Manchester Airport. The final section was


an account of a recent cruise from Copenhagen up the Norwegian coast on a cruiseliner, which was comfortable but small enough to explore some of the small branch fjords. Mr Bartley is obvi­


ously a great enthusiast for travel, whether on foot, by train, by air or by sea. Next Tuesday, Mr Gordon Wilkinson will talk to the club about the Southern Alps of New Zealand. The meeting will start at 7- 30 p.m. For more information'


about the club, contact secretary Mr Ken Ged- des on 01200 423474.


MORE than 60 volunteers and guests attended the AGM of the Blackburn with Darwen, Hjmdbum and Ribble Valley Samaritans. Held at Accrington Town Hall, the


event was chaired by Mrs Margaret Jepson and those attending included the Mayor and Mayoress of the Rib­


ble Valley, Coun. Charles Warkman and his v^e, Ruth, plus the Mayor of Hyndburn, Coun. Miles Parkinson and his wife, Bernadette. The new director of the Samari­


tans committee, Mrs Judith Houghton, was welcomed by the vol­ unteers and a talk about the prison


service was given by Mr Bob McColm, governor of Garth Prison, nearLeyland. Our picture shows Mrs Jepson, the

Restaurant ordered to remove marquee


PLANNING officials have ordered bosses at the De Tabley restaurant, near Ribchester, to remove a massive marquee or they could face legal action to force them to. Members of the council’s planning


committee were expected to consider an application from the restaurant for retrospective planning permis­ sion to retain the 26.5m. x 12m. mar­ quee for 12 months.


But according to planning officer,


Mr Colin Sharpe, the application was withdrawn just five days before the borough council’s Planning and Development Committee meeting. It is understood that nearby resi­


dents and o\vners of caravans at the Ribblesdale Caravan Park sent 16 letters of objection. The main con­ cerns expressed related to noise nui­ sance from music and people return­


ing to their cars at times up until the early hours of the morning. People also objected to the detri­ mental appearance of the white-


coloured marquee. After the meeting, Mr Sharpe con­


firmed that the owners of the restau­ rant in Ribchester Road, had been told to remove the tent by Monday- or officers would sta rt formal enforcement.

A RIBBLE VALLEY farmer who gave way to two men in a van driving away from his yard discovered they had stolen a £1,500 quad bike. Blackburn magistrates heard


th a t when the farmer gave chase he found his vehicle had been abandoned on the lane. Scott Storey (24), of Warren


Grove, Heysham, Morecambe, pleaded guilty to burglary. He was ordered to complete 100 hours community punishment and pay £65 costs. : Mrs Phillipa White (prose­


cuting) said the farmer was travelling towards his farm in West Bradford when he was confroiited by the van coming in the opposite direction. They


pulled over to allow each other to pass and, when asked what they were doing, the men said they were looking for scrap. “Naturally, the farmer was


suspicious and made a mental note of the van registration number,” said Mrs White. “After he discovered the quad


bike in the lane he spoke to a dog walker who said she had seen the van speeding oft ivith its back doors open.” . Rachael Hood (defending)


said Storey had been out look­ ing for scrap metal when he saw the quad. “It was a spur-of-the- moment decision and as soon as they had spoken to the farmer they panicked and left it in the lane.”
