Gardening Sabden Horticultural Society held a com­ mittee meeting at the White Hart pub chaired by vice chair­ man Mr Antony Haworth. Mr John Boocock, who has done sterling work with local schools promoting and judging the daf­ fodil-growing compe­ titions, reported that although school staff .were very supportive, he was disappointed at the lack of take-up and support by some parents. It was pro­ posed Mr Boocock visits both schools and talks to the chil­ dren about plants. Although the school’s and children’s indi­ vidual inputs at the show were many and well presented, to some children the growing of plants remains a mystery. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr John Shorter for producing the attractive certifi­ cates handed to suc­ cessful entrants. After the talk on

notified Ribblo Val­ ley Council it was looking at the area as a possible site for a phone mast, and the parish council had been asked for its views. Members felt that, as there was already a mast at Hillside Farm in Sab-


_ den. Orange should consider mast shar­ ing to reduce the pro­ liferation of sites in the area of outstand­ ing natural beauty. Orange is currently putting the site plan out to consultation before deciding whether to submit a formal planning application, members were told. The pro­ posed mast would be about 37ft. high.


Play park Sabden Play Park Trust has raised more than £2,000 and been pledged £10,500 in grant aid towards improve­ ments on the village play area. In a letter to the parish council, the Trust outlined its plans for the park, including new items of equipment and safety surfaces. It now needs advice from the parish coun­ cil on how to take the project forward. Councillors were con­ cerned that they needed to know more about the Trust’s proposals and be assured that autho­ rised playground contractors would be used. A representa­ tive from the Trust was to be invited to the May meeting.


Councillor Borough Coun. Michael Fielding gave his monthly report to the parish council. He said work was proceeding on the St Vincent hous­ ing association flats in Padiham Road. The association had suggested the com­ plex be named Eric Prew Court, in trib­ ute to one of its long- serving tenant mem­ bers, but' Sabden councillors felt this was not appropriate in Sabden and asked for another name to be chosen. He asked for litter bins to be placed near the new bus shelter in


Whalley Road, and at the football club,


' where a lot of litter accumulated. He thanked the Village


Folk for their £300 donation to the Mayor of the Ribble Valley’s fund for Der-


ian House Children’s Hospice, in Chorley.


Station Sabden Service Station has now closed and Coun. Marion Proc­ ter was concerned


about any environ­ mental implications as a number of drums had been left on site. It was not know if they con­ tained chemicals but, as a precaution, Rib­ ble Valley Council was to be contacted.

CHATBURN’S village hall is set for a summer facelift after local company Castle Cement offered a helping hand.


. The hall was gif ted to the village back in the 1920s, but no work has been carried out for the past 10 years and it is in need of general repair and refurbishment. John Ridg^vay, Chairman of the


Village Hall Committee, said: “At the.moment, the hall only has a small makeshift bar area and no kitchen -


just a water heater. The


hall needs re-wiring, window repairs, a disabled toilet and a new


kitchen - for starters! “ I approached Castle Cement’s Rib- blesdale works and it has agreed to help us both with a financial dona­ tion through the landfill tax credit scheme and, more importantly, by supplying, free of charge, four tons of cement. “Without this help, we would


have been struggling to get the project off the ground. Now, we are looking forward to having a com­ pletely renovated village hall open by September, which will be able to play a much wider role in village life.”


Garetli Price, general manager at


Castle Cement’s Ribblesdale works said: “John worked for the compa­ ny at Ribblesdale for 33 years so w'hen he phoned explaining the predicament, we were only too pleased to help. The hall has always been at the centre of village life and we feel it is very important to retain and indeed, improve the facilities for local people.” Pictured outside the village hall

Susan’s adventure of a lifetime to China


A WORSTON woman is to jet off on an adventure of a lifetime later this summer, thanks to Thwaites Brewery. Susan Biggs is one of the group


leaders for this year’s Thwaites Travel Scholarship and will help supervise a team of 10 young people on a two-week visit to China. Blackburn based-brewery


Thwaites has funded the Travel Scholarship, nm in conjunction with the Experiment In International Living, for 46 years. Under the leadership of Susan,


who works at Habergham High School, Burnley and Debbie Williams, from Lancaster and Morecambe College, the group will leave Britain for Shanghai on July 28th and travel back from Beijing on August 11th. : As well as seeing many of the cul­


tural sights, including the 2,000 year old terracotta warriors in the ancient capital of Xi’an and biking to see the renowned Buddhist cliff carvings along the Y i river, the youngsters will visit the Great Wall and Forbidden City and spend time with local families. ■
