Ramblers’ festive


ENCOURAGED by favourable weather, 56 walkers, including five children, set out on a five-and-a- half mile Boxing Day-walk organ­ ised by Clitheroe Ramblers. . Held as part of the Ramblers’


'Association’s “Festival of Winter Walks”, the Kibble Valley event began from the historic village of Pendleton. After heading north towards


Standen Bridge, the walkers then turned north east along the old Chatburn road before crossing the A59, and after negotiating several field tracks reached the village of Worston, where a short refreshment stop was taken.


.


Following the Downham road, they turned south west along the


ancient bridleway know locally as the Kings Highway, or Monks Gate, and after a short distance the 16th Century Little Mearley Hall came into view, set on the northern foot of Pendle Hill. The final leg took the group past


Pendleton Hall back to their start point, before retiring for a festive drink in the Swan With Two Necks. The numerous visitors thanked the leader, Bryan Dobson, for making the walk pleasurable and informa­ tive.

THE nativity tableau reminds the crowds of the true meaning of Christmas (S211205/4a) by Faiza Afzaal


; - :


THE historic grounds of Clitheroe Castle were lit during the Christmas nativity tableau and lantern proces­ sion. Up to 300 people braved the winter


weather and gathered at the Castle gates for the annual festive event. • The procession was led by members of Clitheroe Town Band and the crowds enjoyed singing carols and listening to excellent entertainment. Afterwards, all who attended were treat­ ed to mince pies and hot fruit punch.


- Mrs Margaret Smith, chairman of Clitheroe 2000 - the organisers of the pro-


cession, said she had been very pleased with the way the day had gone.


She added:“ The atmosphere was like


magic and I am pleased to say that the event was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed themselves regardless of the weather. “I would like to thank all the people for


their support and all the people that attend­ ed. Members of Clitheroe 2000 would love to make it a tradition down the years.” Mrs Smith expressed gratitude to Trinity


Methodist Church for allowing the cast to use part of the premises as a dressing room. During the evening, there was a collec-.


tion, which raised £203 towards Clitheroe Mayor, Coun. Allan Knox’s charity fund. -
