scheme from Lancashire County Coun cil’s Road Safety Group is designed to enable young cyclists to stay safe on the

Whalley Juniors Under-lls. The kits comes courtesy of Ribble Valley Pri
vate Hire, who supplied the red strips, and Lancashire Constabulary Eastern Division, who supplied the blue. Club coach, Dave Astley, said: “It is always
nice to have a new kit and the children like them a lot. “It also stops the players’ parents having to
pay for them through higher subscription costs. “In addition, it takes a burden off the man
ager to continually raise funds for things like this.” The strips were delivered in time for the start
of the new season, so hopefully they can be a lucky omen from the off and the two teams can be flying high over the next few months. Whalley Juniors are pictured ready to show

that has successfully completed module one and two of the scheme, providing the children with both classroom activities and cycle training in an off-road environ
ment. Miss Kathleen English, senior area co
ordinator for the project, said: “The chil dren have really enjoyed taking part in the ‘Passport to Safer Cycling’ scheme. “It has enabled them to develop a
greater understanding of road usage, thereby improving their cycling skills and
encouraging them to be safer when out on
the roads.” Available to children aged 10 and over,
it teaches youngsters about starting, stop ping, signalling and turning, while encour aging them to think about the difference between riding and playing on cycles. It also reinforces the importance of
wearing a cycling helmet. Mr Peter Byers, road safety adviser,
said: “This is a scheme that schools in Lancashire really value. It raises children’s awareness of the road environment and how to stay safe. “This training also promotes a healthy lifestyle by encouraging children to use their bikes more.” He added: “A study conducted by the
Transport Research Laboratory suggests that training children to ride safely has a lasting positive effect on their cycling practice and knowledge of road safety. This scheme can therefore help us to work towards reducing casualties.”

has raised around £700 for the MS Soci ety and the charity Children’s Wish. “It was hard work because of the heat.
Between the 10th and 11th mile mark, people were collapsing everywhere,” Claire commented. “I cannot believe peo ple were doing it in fancy dress.” She added that her spirits were lifted by
the support shown from the crowds of people lining the route. “When I went through the finishing
line, I was absolutely elated. You’re so proud of yourself, especially when you’re doing it for the charities you’ve chosen. It’s just an amazing feeling,” she added. Clitheroe sisters Debbie Kean and
Kathryn Booth, who were raising money for research into colon cancer and a rheumatoid arthritis charity respectively, while their friend. Faith Lawton, was rais ing money for an MS charity, all complet ed the race. Debbie finished in two hours 21 min
utes, while Kathryn and Faith finished in two hours seven minutes.
Mrs Rebecca Ford (44), of Parker
Avenue, Clitheroe, and Mrs Andrea Wilkinson (44), of Mayfield Avenue, com pleted the race in two hours and 11 min utes. Although they did not achieve personal
bests on this occasion, the pair were pleased with their times given the hot weather. All the money they raise will be donated to a charity that helps young children with cancer. Rebecca commented: “We just feel sad
about those people who lost their lives, especially when they were running for charity themselves.” The event, which is in its 25th year, claimed the highest number of fatalities in its history with four men dying. Warm weather has been initially blamed for the deaths. Temperatures reached 18C (64F) dur
ing Sunday’s event, which attracted 50,000 entrants. The local entrants thanked sponsors for
their support. Carers’ group meeting

A POPULAR costume maker has decided to sew her last stitch after 40 years in the trade. Mrs Joyce Plumridge, of Fort
Street, has been running Clitheroe’s only fancy dress shop. Harlequin, from her home for the past 18 years. Today, however, the 73-year-old is auctioning her impressive collection a t Silver- woods Auctioneers, based at Clitheroe Auction Mart. With more than 350 outfits to
sell, the trained sewer, who was hoping for a buyer to take over the hire business, admitted she will not miss the washing and ironing, but said she is sad to see it cease. “What upsets me is that it is
going to be taken away from the town,” said Joyce. “It has taken

describes her job as “a fun busi ness”, has been helped by her hus band, Doug. Originally from Essex, the grandmother of two has built up a fabulous range of costumes, including those similar to Clint Eastwood’s, Elvis Pres ley’s and period clothing, which have been used by people of the town for various party occasions. Joyce will now concentrate on
her new business venture making miniature furniture. Our picture shows Joyce with
the costumes she is auctioning. (A190905/5)
