Knock-out gives another cash boost to Pauline fund


A POOL knock-out competition held at the Wa^n and Horses pub raised £140 for terminally ill cancer sufferer Pauline Altham. In total 16 players took part in the


event held at the Pimlico Road pub with David Walmsley, one of the pub’s A-team pool players, claiming the top spot. He won a case of Stella Artois' lager, which he has charitably given back to be auctioned off. The winner of a raffle, the main prize


of which was four tickets to see Jack and the Beanstalk at King George’s Hall in Blackburn, also gave it back to be auc­ tioned off. That auction will take place on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Waggon and Horses for the showing of the pan­ tomime on Wednesday, December 13th. Mrs Altham, of Goosebutts Lane,


Clitheroe, has also received a cheque for £500 from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School Sixth Form’s charity committee. Students were so moved by articles fea­ tured in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times that they wanted to donate some money to Pauline’s Challenge. They raised the funds through cake stalls, cof­ fee mornings and a “Fright Night” held at Samlesbury Hall. Meanwhile, the proceeds of a raffle, a total of £227, held during a recent Christmas dance at Newton Village Hall have also been donated to Pauline’s Challenge. Anyone else who would like to publicise an event to raise funds for Mrs Altham can con­ tact the newsdesk on 01200 422324.

TOYS galore are beginning to pile up for our annual festive appeal. There is just a week of a this year’s appeal to


go and already we have been amazed at the gen­ erosity of readers who have donated gifts. This year’s appeal will close next Thursday -


December 14th - to give local Salvation Army officers Capt. Elizabeth Smith and Lt Brenda Wise enough time to sort and deliver the many gifts that have been collected. The Salvation Army officers travelled to Man­


chester this week to pick up extra presents col­ lected in the annual Bikers Toy Ride. Each year up to 800 bikers ride through the city towards the Trafford Centre collecting toys and cash on route which are then handed over to the Salva­


tion Army for distribution across the North West. Capt. Smith has also applied for some of the


money raised by the bikers to help supplement the gifts already collected in Clitheroe. She said: “Your readers are doing fantastically and the donations are wonderful. With three weeks to go until Christmas we have already got the names of 100 children who need our help and we are definitely anticipating more. However, we will make sure the need is met.” With toys, games and Teddies among the


many quality donations already collected at the Salvation Army shop in Lowergate and at the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office in King

street, we do still need more. We do not want to disappoint any child on


Christmas Day and by giving even a little we can all help bring a little Christmas cheer to families who find themselves in financial hard­ ship in the run up to the festive season. We are grateful to all those who have already


donated items, many of them suitable for young children and toddlers. However, we still need gifts for both boys and girls aged between 10 and 12 in particular and also for teenagers. Mone­ tary donations given to the Toy Appeal will be used to buy presents for youngsters in these age groups, but we would also be grateful to receive suitable presents for them. As well as gathering gifts in the Ribble Valley


and Manchester, this year’s Toy Appeal is also being given a boost by shoppers visiting the Asda store in Accrington. They are being asked to support our appeal


while they shop and leave their donations in store where they will be collected by Capt Smith and Lt Wise. •Thank you to all the volunteers who have


already offered to help organise the Salvation Army’s special Christmas Day lunch. Although we now have enough people to help


serve the meal - drivers are still in short supply. Anyone who can help, even for just one half


hour, either before or after lunch, is asked to con­ tact Capt. Smith on 0770 9351394. If you would otherwise be on your own on


Christmas Day, why not take up the invitation being extended by the Salvation Army and enjoy a hot meal, as well as a few hours’ fun and fel­ lowship? Some names have already been taken, but


there are places still available. If you would like to join in, simply fill in last week’s coupon and take it to the Salvation Army shop at 16 Lower- gate, or push it through the letterbox; .!

Lancaster.........................2 Clitheroe L a d ie s ........... 2 CLITHEROE Ladies Hockey Club travelled to play an in-form Lancaster University side in a top-of- the-table clash on Saturday. The local league leaders


knew what to expect as they had played them at home four weeks earlier and recorded a 5-0 victory with a faultless performance. But with a couple of key


players missing and others playing out of position, Clitheroe wanted to pile the pressure on from the start. The Littlemoor team got

Ribble Valley cricketers are a hit in the winter as well!


RIBBLE Valley Under 13s' District Cricket team have carried their summer form into the winter by winning a four team six-a-side competition against sides from Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley and Wigan. The team won all but the last game


and were consistently the better side throughout.


The team was made up of players from


Longridge, Clitheroe, Ribblesdale and Read, and the format was 15 overs per side with bonus points for reaching bat­ ting and bowling targets. The picture shows the jubilant side


with their trophies presented by Ian Cordingly from Darwen CC.


The team would like to thank Mandy


Davies from Darwen CC for organising the event.

Heidi Worthington make no mistake by smashing the ball past the keeper. The Lancaster team


started to settle and built attacks of their own, put­ ting the Clitheroe back four under pressure as the game turned end-to-end. Clitheroe forced their sec­


ond penalty corner of the day and another well- worked routine saw Nicola Horsfall make no mistake to put the locals 2-0 up. This didn't dent Lancast­


er’s confidence and turned them into a different team with some very fast passing


and some unbelievable hockey to stun the visitors. On 22 minutes Lancaster


earned their first penalty corner. A good routine from the home side and a mix-up in defence saw them score a well deserved goal. The next 15 minutes saw


both teams have attempts at goal, and some excellent saves from the Clitheroe keeper kept out the Lan­ caster team until half-time. The second half got


under way and the pace of the game suited both teams, both sets of defence withstood lots of pressure and both keepers made cru­ cial saves. But Clitheroe were dealt


a massive blow when sweep­ er Hannah Laverty inter­ cepted the ball at the back and was left in a heap on the ground. The game was stopped


while she received treat­ ment but there was no way that she could resume. Lancaster maintained


pressure and forced penalty comer after penalty corner, only to be met by more bril­ liant saves form the County Under 21s number one keeper Sarah Simpson. With just nine minutes


remaining, Lancaster were awarded another penalty cor- ner and a well-worked rou­ tine ended in the ball being flicked in from a wide angla

www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Pupils’ hospice aid


ARTY pupils at Sabden Pri­ mary School have brought to life a calendar aimed at raising money for a very worthy cause. Children from the Whalley


Road school added colourful illustrations to each month of the charity calendar, which will help raise funds for Derian House Children’s Hospice. Monkeys, penguins and par­


rots all make an appearance in the calendar along with a selection of entertaining poems by Mr Frank Gibson. The pictures can even be cut out and used as postcards. Mrs Sandra Dundon, head­ teacher at the school, said:


“The children loved drawing the illustrations and they were absolutely delighted when they saw their pictures in the calendar. “It is a cause that is very


close to our hearts here at the school. We’re hoping to sell as many of them as we can and raise as much money for the hospice as possible.” The calendars are available


to buy at the school and are priced at £2.99 each. Our picture shows supply


teacher Mrs Ruth Holt who helped pupils to create the cal­ endar for Derian House. (B291106/1)


Police appeal as 400 cameras are stolen


DETECTIVES are appealing for information after 400 digital cameras worth approximately £200,000 were stolen from business premises in the Ribble Valley. Raiders targeted the premises in Clitheroe between 10 a.m. on


Saturday, November 25th, and 8 a.m. on Monday, the 27th, and escaped unseen with the Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Pana­ sonic, Pentax and Sony digital cameras and camcorders. Police believe the offenders had planned the attack well and


broke into adjoining premises before knocking a hole through two breezeblock concrete walls and cutting steel mesh with bolt crops. DS Nigel Wat­


son of Clitheroe CID said: “This appears to be a w ell -planned offence committed by professional criminals. A vehi­ cle or van was used in the offence.” Anyone who has


been offered such a camera or who has any information as to the whereabouts or identity of the offenders, is urged to
