Happy life President of Bashall Eaves WI Mrs G. Whowell welcomed everyone to the meet­ ing and introduced guest speaker Mrs Marion McDonald who spoke about “Some Aspects of My Eggshilarating Life”. She told humorous sto­ ries of her busy day which is certainly packed full. Mrs Whowell expressed thanks.

CHIPPING


Entertaining evening President of Chipping WI Mrs Rita Joyce, welcomed members


and guests to the meeting in the village hall. Instead of a Hsit- ing speaker, there was a concert for members, performed by mem­ bers. There were three poems from Mrs Doreen Kendall, an account of hilarious travelling mishaps from Mrs Syhna Lath­ am and duets sung by Mrs Rita Joyce and Mrs Helen Powell. Mrs Joan Porter read interesting selections from the minutes of the Chipping WI meetings from 1948 to 1952 and Mrs Margaret Whitaker finished the evening with a fasci­ nating slide show of her trip to a patchwork quilting convention in America.


A competition for bis­ cuits on a plate was won by Mrs Latham and birthday flowers went to Mrs Betty Costall. Raffle prizes were won by Mrs Jean Amery and Mrs Betty Costall. The lunch­ eon club will meet on July 20th and the walking group on July 25th.

Garden party The sun shone, the strawberries and cream were delicious, the cream teas were very appetising and the sur­ roundings of the gar­ den at Paddock House, home of Jim and Bar­ bara Leeming, were delightful. It proved to be a most enjoyable afternoon and over £700 was raised for St Ambrose Chuch funds. There were two unclaimed raffle prizes, contact Mrs Carol Pye tel. 441507.


Waste paper The usual waste paper collection will take place in Grindleton today. Contributiuons of newspaper, maga­ zines and cardboard can be left in the enclo­ sure at the top of Back Lane, near the chapel wall.


Parking At the meeting of Grindleton Parish Council, councillors discussed a proposal from the Meadowside Action Group for a minimum of seven extra parking spaces mthin the curtilages of certain of the proper­ ties. Residents had pre­ viously attended a council meeting to explain the serious


problems created by the proliferation of vehicles in an area with narrow estate roads.


With end-to-end park­ ing, households pos­ sessing additional vehi­ cles could also reduce congestion even fur­ ther. The Action Group had commissioned a plan showing the sug­ gested scheme. This is to be submitted to the borough council’s Housing Department as several of the spaces occupy council owned land.


Councillors discussed, with the landowners, problems of severe ero­ sion of part of the Rib- ble Way near Grindle­ ton Bridge. The Parish Council is pursuing this with the footpath authority ( LCC), the Environment Agency and a local fishing club to find a solution to preserve this important and well used route.


Cricket news On Sunday Grindleton Cricket team travelled to Barnoldswick to take on Rolls Royce in what has become the friendliest of friendly fixtures.


The home-side took pity ■ on skipper Crossland and gave him the choice of batting or fielding first. He decid­ ed Grindleton would bat first.The opening batsmen Raw and

Ainsworth were imme­ diately under the cosh as Ebbins and Bav tor­ mented them with a combination of pace, line and length. With six overs gone and the score on nine Bav sent Raw back to the pavil­ ion. Middlebrough joined Ainsworth at the crease and the pair began to graft out a partnership. Although runs were difficult to come by the pair put on 45 before Middle­ brough (17) was caught, the score 51 for two after 23 overs. Crossland


and


Ainsworth managed to up the run rate to four and over in an attempt to achieve a respectable total. A four through the covers saw veteran Ainsworth reach his fourth half century of the season. 'The applause had barely died do™ when Ayaaz had him caught at mid- on. Whittaker walked to the crease like a man ’ who wished he was somewhere else. In no mood to hang around Whittaker plundered 18 valuable runs off only 14 deliveries before falling victim to Taylor in the penulti­ mate over. Ayaaz had Crossland caught in the slips off the first ball of the final over. Two more wickets tell leaving Grindleton at


130 for seven off their 40 overs.


After tea. Crossland without Leach and Wilkinson to call on, opened the bowling with Robinson and Briggs. Robinson’s tidy first over resulted in only four runs. The fol­ lowing over saw Szd- dzque light the blue touch paper and the fireworks began. Yvonne Ainsworth sunbathing on the boundary had to take evasive action as boundary after bound­ ary rained down on her. Briggs ■ eventually bowled him for 38 runs.


Rolls Royce reached 100 in the 10th over, but in the 13th Ali tried to hoist Middlebrough over long-on where a nonchalent Whittaker plucked the ball from the sky one handed.


Two deliveries later the game was over, 39 min­ utes was all it had taken for Rolls Royce to score the required runs.


Grindleton’s man-of-the- match was Frank Ainsworth who despite advancing years,con- tinual injury and sear­ ing heat proved he can still mix it with the best.


On Sunday Grindleton play hosts to local rivals Waddington.


7p.m. Pav at the door.

ONE of England’s finest take­ away traditions is making mouths water in Ciitheroe. With fresh produce from Fleet-


wood being delivered to Castle Chippy daily, the traditional dish of fish and chips has never tasted better. New proprietor Roger Abbis has


sourced his shop’s fish produce per­ sonally and is a firm believer that “fresh is best”. He takes daily ice packed deliv­


eries from the seaside town and is passionate about the quality of the produce he receives. Roger is also keen to show his


support for the county’s tradition­ al trawlermen, sourcing his pro­ duce from those who keep Lan­ cashire’s fishing industry in busi­ ness. Open six days a week, Castle


Chippy provides a haven of food for chip shop fans. On weekdays the doors open


from 11-30 a.m. until 2 p.m. and to serve the teatime trade Castle Chippy is open from 4 till 7-30 p.m. At weekends the chippy’s tasty


dishes are on sale from 11-30 a.m. until 5-30 p.m. And a trial run of late openings on Fridays, from 10 p.m. until 12-30 a.m. has provided encouraging results. Whether you are eating out or


dining in the shop’s cosy seating area, a warm welcome awaits. The chippy’s extensive menu offers consumers all tha t is best

about this great British tra­ dition. Taking over Castle Chip­


py is Roger’s first foray into Ciitheroe, bu t he enjoyed award-winning success in Nelson where he ran the Sta­ tion Chippy for six years. For two consecutive years


• r


his shop won the Seafish Industry’s Quality Award, the only outlet in the Pendle town to hold such an accolade - and on one occasion his business made it through to th e second round of the regional Fish and Chip Shop of the Year competi­ tion. Roger is now hoping to emulate


similar success in the Ribble Val­ ley.


He is looking forward to build­


ing up his business and ensuring his fish and chip shop serves up quality food. “I am delighted to be here,” said


Roger. “I t is a fantastic town to work in.” “Just because fish and chips is a


relatively simple meal, does not mean it cannot be cooked and pre­ sented in an appetising and appealing way, providing the best value takeaway there is.” With familiar faces behind the


counter and daily deliveries of fresh fish from Fleetwood - Roger is sure he has the recipe for success. Our pictures show Roger


(S080705/lb) and his shop (S080705/1C)
