www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) It’s all systems go for exciting fund-raising programme
COMMUNITY fund-raisers are plan ning a series of high-profile events aimed at raising cash to turn Clitheroe Castle into a premier wet-weather attraction. The Keepers of the Castle Campaign
hopes to raise £500,000 in public and pri vate sponsorship to top off the £2.5m. bid for lottery and grant funding.
The ambitious renovation scheme will
include a huge glass atrium between the Castle Museum and the North West Sound Archive housing a cafe, exhibition space, education suite and interactive display facilities. Further work will ensure that the Castle Keep, built in 1186, is structurally sound.
A medieval weekend, midnight nativity
in the castle keep, candle festival and lantern procession are just some of the fund-raising initiatives on the cards. Kibble Valley Council's tourism and arts
officer, Rebecca Kay, who is spearheading the campaign, said: "We had a fantastic turn-out to the first Keepers of the Castle meeting and some great ideas were put for ward.
"We are looking for even more people,
particularly those mth campaigning skills to join the steering group and play a crucia role in what we believe is the biggest com munity campaign ever seen in Clitheroe." The Keepers of the Castle Group next
meets on Tuesday, at 6 p.m., in Committee Room one at the Ribble Valley Council Chamber in Church Street, Clitheroe.

Ainsworth, Harg reaves, Robinson and Middlebrough, with a combined age of more than 230, hav ing played on Satur day, the home-side looked a trifle weary. With the sun shining and his team looking the worse for wear. Crossland lost the toss and invited his team-mates to field first,
for the
umpteenth time this season.
Wilkinson and Robin son opened the bowl ing and the “rhino” took two wickets in the fifth over to give Grindleton the best possible
s ta r t.
Thompson (43) and Blackwell (29) stead ied the ship for Rolls- Royce, taking the score to 75 before Taylor struck to remove Thompson. The following over Briggs had Blackwell caught by Crossland. Grindleton were now in the driving seat
and the wickets fell. Despite resistance from Oldfield (28) and Chadwick (15)
Rolls- Royce were all out for 146. O More village news, pages 12,13 and 19
