Nightclub boss cleared after denying charges


by Court Reporter


A NIGHTCLUB owner has been cleared of allowing drugs to be supplied on his premises after a lengthy trial at Preston Crown Court. Ian Jackson (60), of Padiham


Road, Sabden, had told the jury that there was no truth in sug­ gestions that he turned a blind eye to drug dealing at Monroes, in Great Harwood, which he had


run for 11 years. Jackson, of Padiham Road, was acquitted of knowingly permitting or suffer­ ing the supply of ecstasy in the club. Judge Andrew Gilbert QC had


previously directed the jury to return not guilty verdicts on four other charges - two of being con­ cerned in the supply of drugs and two of permitting premises to be used for drug supplying. The prosecution had described the club as a hovel in the middle


of nowhere, which did not have a drinks licence. They alleged the reason young


people went there was for drugs. After the case, defence solicitor


Mr Simon Farnsworth said the proceedings had weighed heavily on Mr Jackson and he was delighted with the outcome. He said: “We think it is a land­


mark case in many ways where the owner of a nightclub has been personally prosecuted for what are clearly the actions of others

within a club. He hopes that in future there will be co-operation between pub and bar owners and the police, which has not been the case for Monroes. “Monroes, its management


and committee have come under' very close scrutiny over a number of years by Lancashire constabu­ lary. “Mr Jackson has proved over


the last two months that the club has been run in a professional manner.”


Police admit: ‘Yes, we are disappointed’


FOLLOWING the court case, operations manager for


Eastern Division, Supt. Warren Ihmer has expressed his disappointment at the not guilty verdict. He said: "We are; of course, disappointed with the not


guilty verdict. “It is important to remember that the policing opera­


tions involving Monroe's Club were in response to the community in Great Harwood telling us that the situa­ tion was unacceptable. "Following numerous complaints from the local com­


munity we conducted a series of pre-planned operations in and around the Wood Street and Balfour Street area. "While the policing activity associated with Monroe's


Club has indeed been expensive, due to the number of resources we have utilised for the operations, this was all about us listening and responding to community con­ cern. “We worked hard to restore peace to a disrupted com­


munity that felt powerless to take any action themselves. “That is what we are here for and that is what we achieved, despite the verdict."


Popular string quartet to play


AN acclaimed string quartet will per­ form at the next event organised by Clitheroe Concerts Society. It takes place on Wednesday, Febru­


ary 2nd, when music lovers will be able to hear the Sacconi String Quartet per­ form a selection from their repertoire. Beginning their programme with


Haydn's D Major Quartet in the Opus 76 series, the musicians will continue with Bartok's first string quartet. Their final work is the popular second


Rasumovsky Quartet by Beethoven. The Sacconi Quartet is acknowledged


to be one of the finest young string quar­ tets in the country, twice being awarded prestigious prizes at the Royal College of Music in London, where they were formed four years ago. They give recitals all over the UK and


Europe and work with the world-famous Chilingirian Quartet at festivals, occa­ sionally joining forces when larger groups are required to perform. Last year they were chosen to premiere two new works. Next week’s concert takes place at the


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School Sixth Form Centre, York Street, beginning at 7-30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Tourist


Information Office, Market Place, Clitheroe Music, Moor Lane, and on the door. For more information, call 01200

First meet is a hit by Faiza Afzaal


MULTICULTURAL local youngsters turned out in force for a meeting of the 1st Clitheroe Scout Group. Thirteen local children from


Muslim, Christian and non-faith backgrounds - recruited through a series of taster events - attended the Scout and Guide HQ, in Lower- gate, where they got to know one another and took part in team­ building exercises. The move followed a joint initia­


■-.-tv


tive between the town’s Scout Group and the Medina Islamic Education Centre. Both groups have previously


expressed a strong desire to help Ribble Valley children from differ­ ent race and faith backgrounds to unite through play and activity. Commenting on the success of


the first session, Mr Sheraz Arshad, of the MIEC, said: “It went really well. We were glad to see children of different faiths working together and sharing interests. “It is particularly nice to see chil­ dren from the Muslim community


taking part in Scouting.” The new group will continue to meet on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and will be led by key organisers Helen Varley, Mr Mohammed Safraz and Mrs Rehana Zaheer. People interested in enrolling


their children (aged seven to 11) can obtain further information and applications forms from Sheraz Arshad on 01200 4122035 or Simon Nanson on 01200 425885. Young members and organisers


are pictured enjoying the first Scouting session. (A110105/3)

A TRIP to the Galapagos Islands was the topic of a talk given by Miss Barbara Bing­ ham to members of the Clitheroe and Dis­ trict Masonic Fellowship. The talk, which was illustrated with


many attractive slides and based on Miss Bingham’s holiday to the islands, was given at a recent meeting at West Bradford Vil­ lage Hall.


‘Testing’ time for


members ESTIMATING the carbohydrate content of every­ day foods put members of the Ribble Valley Dia­ betic Support Group to the test at their January meeting. Although it was


done only as an excercise, those who had been dia­ betic for a long time could answer almost all items correctly while those newer to the condition were confused. However, Sister

Adine Logan and dietician Helen Loughlane, both based at Black­ burn Royal Infir­ mary, were able to explain a great deal and everyone left feeling they had learned more about the impor­ tance of the cor­ rect amount of food to balance their medication and lifestyle. Sister Logan is


on a course enti­ tled DAFNE- Dose Adjustment for Normal Eat­ ing, which is of particular interest to those who take insulin. A few patients


are also sent on these popular courses.


Fascinating talk brightens wintry day A total of 47 members attended the


meeting. Afterwards a spokesman said: “It was


good to see the beautiful island and hear about the animals and birds on these islands on such a cold, wintry day.” The next meeting will be on February


14th, when the speaker is Mrs Binns. Her talk will be entitled “Spellbound”.
