www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Reduce speed on country roads


PEOPLE want speed on coun­ try roads reduced according to Kibble Valley MP Nigel Evans. Welcoming the news th a t the


Government is to ask all county councils to review the speed limits on rural roads, he commented: “Some 63% of road deaths take place on rural and country roads.


“Many people across the Kibble


Valley speak to me and write to me about vehicles speeding through their villages. “Lancashire County Council


must work closely with local resi­ dents and the police in their review of the speed of our roads and where necessary make recommendations


to ensure that the speed limit are reduced.” He added: “Speed restrictions


should not be dependent on children being killed or seriously injured before they are introduced.” Mr Evans, who aims to cut acci­


dent frequency by 5%, said that one ion three deaths were speed-related

CLITHEROE Round Table celebrated the election of its 50th chairman, Rob Stevenson, at its recent annual meeting.


Rob, who was last year’s vice-chairman, took


over the role from Roger Spensley, who had enjoyed a very successful tenure having helped to raise and distribute £7,000 for local charities. While most community service clubs have a


declining membership, Clitheroe Round Table has bucked the trend and is now one of the largest in the North West. The new vice chairman is Steve Lord, while


other officers elected included treasurer Brian Alston, sports officer Paul Harrison, secretary Geoff Whalley, ways and means convenor Dar­ ren Fletcher, and community service convenor Craig Nicholls. For further information about Clitheroe


Round Table log on to the website at www.rt552.org, e-mail rob@rt552.org or call 07855 826079. Our picture shows Mr Spensley welcoming Mr Stevenson, into office, (s)


GETTING the axe is not usu­ ally a good thing, but for Clitheroe Round Table member Stephen Lord it came as a real honour. The “Danish Axe” is the


Round Table of Britain and Ireland’s annual award to the Tabler who has done most to promote international fellow­ ship. Thanks to a string of glo­ betrotting goodwill trips, Stephen - a product develop­ ment manager at Johnson Matthey Catalysts - is this year’s winner. He has spent much of past


year raising funds and meeting fellow Tablers around the world in his role as Area Internation­ al Relations Officer. This has taken him to meet Tablers in India, France, Germany, Swe­ den, the Netherlands, Den­ mark, Finland, Norway, and

. Round Table strictly spends all funds raised on local charities, Stephen has been able to raise funds while abroad for interna­ tional charities such as Friends of Chernobyl’s Children. The main.fund-raiser over


the year has been the “Gammel Dansk Challenge”, a game in which participants are encour­ aged to drink a small amount of a decidedly unpleasant tasting Danish health drink in the fastest possible time. By taking this on his travels


International Relations Officer for a second year, he is looking forward to heading a project that helps Round Table India build new schools, called “Free­ dom Tlirough Education”.


Stephen has managed to raise £3,500 for a range of charities. After being re-elected Area


MORE than 140 guests from across the country travelled the “Long and Wind­ ing Road” to Eaves Hall Hotel, West Bradford, for a Summer Ball headlined by live music from the Mersey Beatles. The event, which was sponsored by


Johnson Matthey Catalysts, in Clitheroe, was regarded as a great suc­ cess by all attending and raised more than £2,000 in support of Ripple Africa, a charity benefiting African chil­ dren. A casino, ably manned by mem­ bers of Clitheroe Round Table, also proved a popular attraction. Prizes were donated by local companies Castle Cement, Byrne's wine store, Philip Michaels Hair Studio, Preferential Treatment and the Pendle Hotel, along with those of a host of national retail­ ers, plus music and sporting signed memorabilia.


Ball boosts African school project Winners of the entry ticket raffle


prize of a meal for two at Northcote Manor were Ian and Carol Darbyshire, of Pimlico Road. Event organiser Jamie Whitwell said:


“After being lucky enough to go to ‘Live8’ last year we thought it only fit­ ting th a t we do our bit. The funds raised will go directly towards construc­ tion of a new secondary school for the children of Mwaya, Malawi. By con­ centrating on education in this way, we hope to help encourage sustained devel­ opment.” Further funding is still required for


this project, details of which can be found a t its website (www.rip- pleafrica.org). Our picture shows some of the guests


who gathered for the Summer Ball in West Bradford. (S180806/2)
