100 years ago


CLITHEROE To'x-n Council had agreed to the plans for a diversion of the highway through the Primrose Mill site. The building had recently been bought by Mr Milton Sheridan Sharpe, of Heck- mondwike. Plans were altered for the road to be re-constructed in a direct line from near the entrance to Commercial Mill with a bridge canying it over the weir. The entire cost of the work was home by


Mr Sharpe. • Trader Wm. M. Cunningham, of the


Midland Cycle and Motor Works, in Clitheroe, opened a new’ branch on King Street, in VTialley The agent for cycle and. motor manufacturers, also dealt with cycle, motor and sewing machine repairs. • The first cricket match in the area


took place this week at Sabden, which saw a friendly game between two village sides


being played. vww-cRh5foetori2>’.co.u)c

AUDIENCES were roaring with laughter at the Lancashire comedy: “Job For The Bov”. Performed by St Michael’s Players at The Hall, in Lowergate, the play was held as part of Clitheroe’s amateur dra­


matic season. • Cinema-goers were watching “Garden


of Evil”, starring Gar}’ Cooper and Susan Ha}’ward at the King Lane Palladium, in


Clitheroe.


Meanwhile in Whalle}} “Wings Of The Hawk” and “Seagulls Over Sorrento” were


being show’n. « With the arriv’al of summer time, new


bikes for sale were being advertised by A.E. Hargreaves. Based in both Moor Lane and W'oone


Lane, cycles from the large selection of stock were available to buy for five shillings per week, with a freel2-month service.

trade town and Clitheroe Fair­ trade Group thinks that Clitheroe should follow in the footsteps of the increasing num­ ber of places which have the Fairtrade certificate. The group’s aim is to make


Clitheroe a Fairtrade town, then Ribble Valley a Fairtrade bor­ ough, then Lancashire a Fair­ trade county (which is already under way). If you want to help, please join us. There will be a Fairtrade lunch and open event on Saturday, April 23rd, in the Ribble Valley Council Chamber, in Church Street, Clitheroe, from 11-30 a.m. to 1-30 p.m. People in the U*K have accept­

A RECORD number of entries made the second half of Ribblesdale Camera Club’s annual competition just as tough to judge as the first. The second part of the competition is for


prints, as opposed to slides in part one, and the standard this year was superb in both


sections. Luckily, Christine Widdall, from Staley-


bridge, proved herself the right woman for the tough task of judging the prints, sepa­ rating the good from the very good with humorous, perceptive and helpful com­


ments. The competition was divided into sections .


headed Record, Portraiture, Natural Histo­ ry, Black-and-White and Gpen Colour Prints, with a total entry of 130 photo­ graphs. The winner of the Record section was Dean Weaver with a monochrome print of “The Clock Tower”. Steuart Kellington’s “Chevrolet Coupe, 1934” was runner-up, and Dean also came third, while Stephen Robinson had a print which was highly commended.


25 years ago


MORE than 100 young people gathered together for a disco and hot-pot supper at W'addington Social Club. The evening event, organised by the Ribble Valley Rotaract Club’s international committee, made a profit of £55.There was a donation


- of £15 towards towards emergency bo.xes used by people in a world disaster. 0 The Ribble Valley’s newest showpiece


was officially opened by the Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Jimmy Fell. The sheltered housing scheme, in Sabden, estimated to have cost £250,000 adjoined 12 e.xisting old people’s bungalows. • Former Ribblesdale School pupils


competed in a mammoth 40-mile spon­ sored run. The 15 youngsters, known as “Clitheroe Gold”, each covered three miles during the. distance from Blackpool Tower to Clitheroe.


Anchor in life’s storm


cross, the fish, the good shep­ herd, the sacrificial lamb. One symbol tha t sometimes becomes lost is the anchor. If we look upon the traditional shape of the anchor, we find that it contains the shape of a cross. This points to the cross of Christ in which we hold a great hope. The hope of our salva­ tion. By His death on the cross, Christ conquered death for us and by His rising to new life that we have just celebrated on Easter Day, we've been given the opportunity for new life in Him. But the symbol of the


anchor goes even deeper. At the base of the cross there is a euwed piece which cradles the bottom of the cross. This is the part that would


dig into the bottom of the sea to hold fast the boat in the water.. Just as the anchor is


used to hold the boat secure, so our hope, anchored in Christ's sav’ing love for us, holds us securely to the certainty of our ultimate end. Eternal life with God. This is the real depth of Christian hope. We can easily miss it because of our current understanding of what hope is. We often think that hope is synonymous with the word "vv’ish", as if there is uncertain­ ty about the outcome, and we long for something that may never happen. Rather, Christian hope far


surpasses this idea of wishing, and instead it is a longing for what will certainly happen. In other words, rather than a wish, hope is a promise. A promise of eternal life and it is Christ that is our hope. Cur Christian hope is founded not on uncertainty but on certain­ ty. Gn facts, especially on the


fact th a t Christ, the Son of God, died for us and rose again. The joy of Easter is this - He is aliv’e. He liv’es, for He is risen, and He lives in us. By laying our hope in Christ as an anchor in the bed of the sea, we can be held secure in that rock that is Christ and this hope is our sal­ vation. So we see that hope is not merely wishing, but putting our confidence in a sure reality and that sure reality is that Christ is alive today. He is our hope who leads us into'eternity. We can fasten anew our anchor on the sure and steadfast rock that is Christ. May God bless you as you

• Denis Kendal won the Portraiture with a charming picture of a Chinese man demon­ strating the use of chopsticks. In second place was Jeff Cowling’s “The Smoking Lady”, which a few days later took third place in a prestigious national competition. Two superb pictures of elderly ladies on their birthdays, “Ninety today” and “Ruth” were equal third for Jeff Cowling and Stephen Robinson. The Natural History section is very much


the province of Mike Caddy, who achieves very simple pictures of astonishing quality. Mike’s “Red Squirrel” and “Brown Hare” were placed first and second while his “Red Deer” was highly commended


Chairman Jeff Cowling gave him compe­


tition this time however, with “Pigmy nuthatch” taking third place and his “Elk” being highly commended. Similarly, John Fletcher with “Garden snail” was also in the shortlist for honours. The Black-and-White section gave mem­


bers a chance to show their hands at art pic­ tures, perhaps more usually seen in exhibi­ tions rather than competitions. Mike Bartle took the top place with


“Refectory Vaults”; Dean Weaver second and third with “Castle in the Mist” and “Gld and New”, two very different approaches. Ken Geddes and Dean Weaver received Highly Commended, while Jeff Cowling, John Fletcher and Stephen Robin­ son’s entries were all Commended. The largest entry of all was in the Gpen


Colour Prints. Again this was a triumph for Mike Caddy with first and second places: “My Tree” and “Bay of Fires”. Steuart Kellington again did well to get third with “Drift Logs”, while Jeff Cowling collected a justified very highly commended with “Winter in Swaledale”. Steuart Kellington and Denis Kendall


collected a highly commended each; Mike Bartle, Ken Geddes, Steve Ashcroft, Mike Bartle and Steuart Kellington were com­


mended. John Fletcher won the John West Trophy


for the Best Creative Print in the competi­ tion, with his shot “Girl With Umbrella”. Inquiries about the club can be made on


01200 440868 or 423474. ' Featured here are two of the winning


prints, Dean Weaver’s “The Clock Tower” and John Fletcher’s picture“Girl With Umbrella”, (s)


Royal date for two Valley food suppliers


TWO Ribble Valley food producers were among an elite group chosen to take part in a discussion with HRH Prince Charles when he opened a new venture for Booths


Supermarkets in Kendal. Helen Colley, of Clitheroe-based Farm­


house Fare, and William Slinger, of Bow- land Fresh Milk, met the Prince when he opened the new “Artisan” speciality food shop and restaurant at Booths Kendal


stor6> They were among a specially selected


group of Booths suppliers, who together represented some of the best produce the


region has to offer Booths’ chairman Mr Edwin Booth said:


“We are delighted that His Royal Highness is officially opening Artisan and that he takes such a keen interest in the work of small regional producers. “We feel that our suppliers are helping us


create a truly unique and high-quality range of local products and that we are cre­ ating genuine partnerships with theni that are profitable for both parties. In the longer


term, we feel that, for those producers that wish to expand. Artisan will act as the cat­ alyst for them to supply our other stores.” Founded by Helen Colley from her moth­


er’s farmhouse kitchen in Gisburn, Farm­ house Fare began as a prestigious outside catering company before moving into pud­


ding production. Booths was the first supermarket to


retail Helen’s puddings more than five years ago and her business has grown rapidly


from that base. She now has a portfolio of more than 15


traditional puddings, with some gluten-free variations, and the company now supplies Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Spar, Safeway,


Asda and Makro. It also supplies all the biscuits and tray-


bakes found in Waitrose Coffee Shops. 'The company has also recently started making “own brand” puddings for Asda, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range. Bowland Fresh Milk, currently exclusive


to Booths, comes from 15 specially selected farms in the Forest of Bowland Area of

A LIFE-SAVING appeal has been launched by the National Blood Service for people m the Ribble Valley to give blood. _


_ The plea follows startling statistics, which


reveal that the National Health Service needs a staggering 9,000 voluntary d o ^ -


^ tions of blood daily, but only 6% of the eligi­ ble population are active blood donors.


Blood is used not only to save lives followr


ing major accidents, but also in a huge range of medical procedures, which improve the quality of patients’ lives. There are four main blood groups - G, A, B


and AB. Group G is the most common and therefore the most in demand.


. Anyone aged between 17 and 60 weighing


over 7st. 121b (50kg), in general good health, could start saving lives bjr becoming a blood donor. For more information call 0845 7711 711, or visit tvww.blood.co.uk ® The next local session tvill be on Friday,


April 22nd, at West Bradford Village Hall, Grindleton Road, between 2 and 4 p.m. and 5-30 and 7-30 p.m.


Gutstanding Natural Beauty. It is collect ed every day in its own tanker for bottling at a dedicated local centre and distribution to Booths stores all over the North West. An initiative by the farmers themselves,


who approached Booths with the Bowland Fresh Milk concept, the farmers receive a higher price for their milk than they would I on the commercial market. When people buy Bowland Fresh Milk,


the farmers on the scheme, who formed their own company Connect Plus Ltd, receive a premium and are 10 to 15% better off than if they had sold the milk on the open market. All the farmers in the scheme produce


their milk to the highest standards of hygiene and animal husbandry and welfare and each farm gate features a Bowland Fresh Milk notice, so that consumers know exactly where their milk is coming from. The farmers are now in active discussions


- led by William Slinger - with a number of the major multiples about supplying their


stores. j Valley M a t te r s NOnCEBOARD
