YOUNGSTERS put their artistic skills to good use by making St Valentine’s cards during half-term. Local children and
tourists visited Clitheroe Castle museum to try their hand at making the special cards to give to loved ones and friends on the most romantic day of the year. The three one-hour
i-*
workshops were held during half-term and proved a massive hit with everyone that attended. Our picture shows cre
ative visitors John Dent, Rachel Jackson, Fiona Jackson and Neave Dent having fun at the special workshops. , (A110206/5)

‘World’ premiere of new musical
by Duncan Smith
A THEATRE group from Clitheroe is put ting the finishing touches to a brand new musical, intriguingly entitled “The Glob”. Fittingly for a morality tale about good
and evil, its premiere, in a fortnight’s time at the Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre, is set to boost a worthy local cause, the East Lancashire Hospice. “The Glob’’ has been written and pro
duced by Clitheroe’s Margaret Smith and Gladys Sutcliffe and will be staged by around 40 students and friends of the town’s Sutcliffe Theatre Arts. It is a dramatic battle between good and
evil, with the action split between reality and the fantasy land of Globinia, where the ■villainous globs seek to abuse their power to destroy the weak and powerless. Exactly five years after the success of her
l i f J ' ■ ~
previous musical, “An L of a Do”, Gladys Sutcliffe has once again combined the words and music for 12 new songs with her own special choreography, assisted by Lindsay Pollard-, for all the dance routines.
to enhance this two-act play. “The Glob is designed to present a serious look at some of the problems of today’s world in a style that is entertaining to adults and children alike,” said Mrs Sutcliffe. “From the enthu siasm of the members of a talented cast with an age range of over 50 years, so far it seems to be successful.” The action combines the experience of
such local stage stalwarts as Stella Barnes, Andrew Pearcy, and Chas Hughes, with the amazing voice of Kay MacGloughlan and the vibrant young talents of Lucy Make peace, Sasha Johns, Charlie Bolton, Joe Bury, Rebecca Williams, Emma Turner and Jessica Gnmshaw. Actively supported by the Mayor of Hyndburn, Coun. Janet Storey, “The Glob” will be premiered at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre on Thursday and Friday, March 9th and 10th. Whether it is good or evil that ultimately
triumphs will only be known when the cur tain falls, but healthy audiences for both performances will guarantee that the East Lancashire Hospice simply cannot lose! To book tickets, call Accrington Tourist Information Centre on 01254 380293.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 Miles too much waste blasts MP'
THE suggestion that £80m. is spent on converting British road signs to metric measurements has angered Kibble Valley MP Nigel Evans. Speaking from 'Westminster, Mr Evans
said: “I have campaigned for years for safety measures to be put on the A59 in my constituency, even asking the Prime' Minister to look at the issue, and have been told that there isn’t the money. That metric fanatics want to spend such a huge sum of money on the metrifica- tion of Britain when people’s lives are still at risk on our roads is a joke. “Local authorities are being starved of
cash for essential road safety measures. “The call for huge sums of money to be spent in this ludicrous way should be
ignored. The people don’t want it and) forced uniformity tor the sake of it is a senseless stupidity beyond reason.” • Britain is one of four countries in
the world that retain the old measure ments on our roads. We share this distinction with Ameri
ca, Liberia and Burma. It is 40 years since Britain began con
verting to metric and the UK Metric Association, who sparked the current debate by suggesting that we ought to update our signage, fears that when the world converges in London for the 2012 Olympics our Imperial road signs will make us appear a backward nation, clinging to an outmoded system of meas urement.
