Exhibition boosts the work of local art group


AN exhibition celebrating the creative work of talented mem­ bers of the Sawley Art Group is on show now. The annual display, at Whalley Library, specialises in drawings, watercolours and oil paintings by 15 artists depicting modern art and traditional views


of flowers. Sawley Art Group was formed


five years ago and currently boasts 25 members. Over the years, committed members have continued to exhibit a variety of paintings in different venues. Speaking about the paintings, club secretary Mrs Victoria


Deadline is missed


DESPITE a last minute paperwork rush by Ribble Valley licensees, some have missed the August dead­ line. However, bosses at Rib­


ble Valley Borough Coun­ cil have stressed this does not mean they will have to cease trading when new rules come into force later this year. From November the


new licensing act will take responsibility for issuing licences away from the magistrates court and give it to the local authority, also bringing with it changes to the way they are handed out. Mr Paul Timson, the council’s director of legal services, said there had been a “tremendous” last minute rush of applications.


Wood, said: “ I t is absolutely superb. The exhibition is a lovely cross-section of everyone’s work. The portraits, ranging from


£15 to £120, are on show at the library’s gallery until the end of


the month. Anyone requiring further infor­


mation is asked to call Mrs Wood


on 01200 447600. Members of Sawley Art Group

Boiler theft Songwriter Nick wins place in final


A TALENTED musician from Clitheroe is celebrating after- becoming one of the finalists in a national songwriting competi­ tion. Mr Nick Pamphlett (pictured)


of West View, received the high honours for his song “Insecure Woman”, in the folk and country section of the 2005 UK Songwrit­ ing Contest. The father-of-three and step- father-of-two, who co-wrote the


song with Mark Thompson, from Clayton-le-Moors, said getting to the final in the prestigious com­ petition has given him a confi­ dence boost. “Getting this far has given me


some hope,” said the psychother­ apist. “It means the material you are writing is actually quite good and therefore encourages you to stick with it.” The 48-year-old, who is mar­ ried to Ann, also had three other


songs reach the semi-final of the contest. Judged by a panel of music industry specialists, the competition is a chance for aspir­ ing and new songwriters to show­ case their material and generate media interest. The singer/song writer, who


part of the musical duo “OceanstwO”, will be performing his songs in local pubs and clubs in the autumn. (A100805/4)

LOCAL Cubs, Scouts and their families have been helping to collect toys, clothes and children’s shoes folloiving an appeal sent out by one of their leaders. John Rose, a district activity instructor


with Clitheroe Scouts and an officer in the RAF, was recently posted to Afghanistan for a short tour of duty. Whe he arrived there, John noted the extreme poverty of the children with whom he came into con­ tact. Moved to do something to help, John sent an e-mail home to the District Scout Leadership team who made an appeal to Scouts and their families in the region to col­ lect the everyday items that were so much in need in Afghanistan. John was then able to utilise the help of


the Civilian Military Co-operation Team to assist with the transport of the items col­ lected and their distribution back in Afghanistan. During a short rest period at home, John and local Scouts collected up the items donated by families and arranged for them to be transported to RAF Brize Nor­ ton for their onward flight out to Afghanistan. John commented: “It’s heartbreaking to


go out to such places and see how little the children have - especially when compared with children back home. With so many appeals of late, it’s great to be able to give the kids at home a real insight into some of the problems elsewhere and it makes it so much more real when it comes from some­ one they know.” Glen Fendall, District Commissioner for


SPEECH and drama students from the Ribble Valley achieved good grades in their latest round of examinations. A total of 18 out of 28 students, who

Clitheroe Scouts noted that Scouts and their families had again been very generous in col­ lecting items to be sent out and it had all been done in a very short period of time fol­ lowing the appeal put out by John. Glen said: “It was terrific to see the response from Scouts and their families and we were delighted to work with John in making this happen”. John returned to Afghanistan for his


remaining secondment and took the con­ signment with him. He personally ensured that all the collected items were distributed to good homes. John is hoping to talk to local Scout Groups when he completes his tour of duty about his experiences in Afghanistan and how the items collected were very gratefully received.
