for people to socialise in their own homes, it is not surprising that Home Games are selling juke

had achieved the turnover figure targeted for a year and since then business has gone on booming. The company has been

A LIVELY talk by representatives from the local architectural practice of Ivan Wilson Associates was enjoyed by Clitheroe Civic Society. They explained the background to some
important buildings for clients such as the National Trust was particularly interesting and well illustrated by slides. • The next meeting of the Civic Society takes place on Monday, April 4th in the
mutual room of the Parish Church at 7-30 p.m. The speaker will be Mr John Lamb on the
management of Salthill and Crosshills nature reserves. Non-members are very welcome to attend.
Quintet began their pro gramme with Malcolm Arnold’s “Three Shanties” Opus Four performed in a lively manner and suggest ing not a little drunkenness in this witty composition. In contrast the Karl
Stamitz quartet in E flat was given an elegant ren dering and mellow texture suitable for the 18th Centu ry piece. The Poulenc Nov- ellette in C was played with gentle rhythmic movement. Clair Fllhart the flautist
gave a solo with the haunt ing tune of “Syrinx” by Claude Debussy; this was a soft lament played by the god Pan for his lost love, and it faded beautifully away-delightful!
In the second half of the
concert the first piece had been composed by the bas soonist Philip Nicholas and was “A mixed case of wine”. Philip explained this was a light-hearted musical description of wines with their differing characteris tics, and it must be noticed th a t the sophisticated Champagne bubbles were nicely indicated by the flautist. The concert ended with two more serious works written for woodwind instruments, “Quatuor” by Jean Francaix and the Quintet Opus 43 by Carl Nielson, where the special sounds of the instruments were nicely blended. Tickets for the next con
cert on April 13th can be obtained from Clitheroe Music in Moor Lane or the Clitheroe’s Tourist Infor mation Centre.

A woman of many talents
by Tracy Johnson
A HIGHLY respected former Kibble Valley Mayoress has died aged 80.
Mrs Hilda Boden, who Hare-raising near-miss
CLITHEROE’S very own “Easter Bunny” is recov ering well after her “hare-raising” brush with death. Harriet the hare was left stunned after being hit
by three cars on the driveway at the Stirk House Hotel in Gisburn.
Shelagh Fleming, who was driving one of the cars
that hit the leveret, took the baby home and has nursed her back to health - despite being warned that Harriet would more than likely die from her injuries. “She was frozen in terror when I found her. Now
she follows me around like a little dog. She’s my Easter miracle, my Easter bunny,” said Shelagh, who lives in Bamoldswick. Shelagh, pictured with her new addition, who
teaches swimming at Stirk House, has received help and advice from the RSPCA, the Hare Protection Society and Pets World in Barnoldswick and is hand-rearing the young hare. She is now planning to keep Harriet at her home
because the hare would almost certainly die if she was released back into the wild. (S230305/6)
