Concerns over Christmas lights


IN Clitheroe thoughts are already turn­ ing to Christmas! Although the festive season is still seven


months away, members of the Decorative Clitheroe Committee have started to plan ahead. One of the committee’s main jobs is to


organise the town centre display of Christmas trees and lights. However, this year members face a


problem. The contractor who currently carries out ail the work plans to retire and a


replacement is needed as a matter of urgency. ■ As well as purchasing around 100 fes­


tive firs, fitting the low voltage net lights and putting the trees up, the work also involves arranging other motifs and a large lantern at selected sites around Clitheroe, as well as removing and storing everything in the new year. , A couple of expressions of interest in


the work have now been received and a meeting of the committee will take place soon to discuss the situation.

relaxed, friendly atmosphere, exploding the myth that golf is an elitist game for those with a well- stuffed wallet!

ordinator for the North West said: "This competition has been launched to encour­ age children to think hard about why eat­ ing 5 A DAY is important, and to get them excited about and interested in try­ ing different fruits and vegetables. “The eating habits formed in childhood


stay with you for life, so we hope this com­ petition will encourage children and their parents to aim for 5 A DAY. "Eating 5 A DAY is easier than many
