Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) A toast to the Queen and St George /


CELEBRATIONS to mark The Queen’s 80th birthday were enjoyed by residents and friends of the Manor House. More than 50 people,


including villagers, marked the occasion with an afternoon tea party at the nursing and residen­ tial home in Bridge Road, Chatbum. With a Union flag fly­


m


ing, the home was deco­ rated in patriotic style and there were photo­ graphs of the Queen taken throughout her reign dis­ played around the premis­ es.


PATRIOTISM was at an all time high in Clitheroe thanks to local lad Gavin McQuade. Fuelled by a passion for people to


recognise St George’s Day, which falls on April 23rd, Gavin and his friends urged the town’s businesses to fly the flag and be patriotic. And this year a record number did


just that, with 100 flags being erect­ ed.


This is the fourth year the scheme


has been running with letters being sent out to shops, pubs and cafes encouraging them to celebrate the patron saint. Gavin and his team offered to supply and install a flag pole for £15 with all money raised


■going towards the Macmillan Nurses charity, which cared for Gavin’s late father, Eddie. This year’s Stirling effort raised a total of £i,025.


“This is the first year we’ve got up


to a hundred flags! The first time we did it, there were 48 flags, a number which we’ve doubled in just four years. I t’s been a magnificent effort by all the shopkeepers. A couple of local people even erected them on their houses,” Gavin commented. Our picture shows St George’s


Day flags flying from the shops in Castle Street. (,A210206/5a)


pated in a sing-a-long of old favourites, including the National .Anthem, proposed a toast to Her Majesty, wishing her con­ tinued health and happi­ ness. They enjoyed a buf­ fet tea with a birthday cake. Our picture shows resi­


dents Bill Ashworth and Marjorie Slinger together with one of the propri­ etors, Janet Harrison, at the Manor House party. (S210406/4)

Win tickets the cinem


THIS week the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times has joined forces with Stage & Screen St Mary’s to relaunch our weekly cinema competi­ tion. I t was put on hold while Clitheroe’s cinema was


moved from The Grand, in York Street, to its new home at the St Mary’s Centre, in Church Street, and improvements were carried out. See the preview below for the next film, “The


White Countess”, which starts its run tomorrow night, and use the coupon to enter the competition for two tickets to see a film at Stage & Screen. The winner will be drawn at random from all cor­


rect entries and the tickets posted direct from the cinema. Good luck!


‘The White Countess’ (cert PG); Stage & Screen @ St Mary’s Centre, Church Street, Clitheroe; screenings nightly (not Saturday) from May 5th to 11th at 7-30 p.m.


SET in Shanghai in the late 1930s and directed by James Ivory, “The White Countess” is the story of the relationship between a disillusioned former US diplomat and a refugee White Russian countess reduced to a sordid life in the city's bars. Todd Jackson (Ralph Fiennes), once an American


diplomat filled with idealism, has lost his sight sev­ eral years earlier and is now languishing in Shang­ hai's grand hotels and elite gentlemen's clubs. A bumt-out case, he has become bitterly disillusioned by the seemingly unavoidable nature of war and con­ flict. Sofia (Natasha Richardson) is a White Russian


countess in her 30s who fled the Bolshevik Revolu­ tion as a child. She now lives in a Shanghai slum with members of her late husband's aristocratic fam­ ily and her 10-year-old daughter, Katya. Sofia is the household's sole breadwinner, working as a dancer in dingy night spots, resorting to prostitution when times are hard. Jackson encounters Sofia one night working at her


dance hall, decides she is the perfect blend of tragedy and sensuality and asks her to become the center- piece of his perfect bar. Thus begins a relationship th a t will see Jackson slowly coaxed out of his enclosed world.


RATS ensure chaos is guaranteed as cabbie leads a double life!


IF you think your life is com­ plicated, imagine the life of two-timing taxi driver John Smith, who keeps two sepa­


rate families! On May 11th, 12th and


13th, Ribchester Amateur Theatrical Society (RATS) puts on a show set to confuse and delight you in equal meas­ ure, when i t stages Ray Cooney’s modern farce “Caught in the Net”. When his teenage children -


a girl from one family and a boy from the other - meet in an Internet chat room, they are anxious to meet in person. John's already hectic life


An inviting array of sandwiches, desserts, teas and coffees can also be savoured in the cosy lounge or, during the summer months, outside on the adjoining patio.


So for a little bit of luxury that won’t break the bank, visit Mr Fred’s before everyone else does!


shifts into high gear as he tries to keep his double life a secret from his two wives and his two children. “Caught in the Net” is actu­


ally a sequel to Cooney's popu­ lar “Run For Your Wife”, which ran in London for nine years.


...weVe got it. The show opens on a set


th a t represents both homes and allows for simultaneous action in both locations. E nte r son Gavin Smith


(Jamie Bain) with his mum Barbara (Emily Keen) and daughter Vicki Smith (Rachel Ruddock) with her mum Mary (Anne Lang). Both teenagers are d is ­


cussing having met in an Internet chat room. They are amazed that they


both have fathers named John Leonard Smith who are Lon­ don taxi drivers. Since romance has blos­ somed, they are determined to


meet in person. When Dad (Guy Mason)


gets wind of their plan to meet, chaos ensues as he tries to keep the teens apa r t and keep his dual life secret from both his wives and kids. Tickets are £5 each and are


available from the box office on 01254 878530.
