18 Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, March 9th, 2006 • H' radio


station back on airwaves


by Duncan Smith


HOPING to be back “on air” this summer, Kibble Valley's community radio station is calling on local peo-


, pie to get involved with a fund-rais­ ing Easter fun day. Kibble Valley Radio will be opening


the doors of the St Mary's Centre, in Church Street, Clitheroe, on Saturday April 15th and everyone is invited along


• to share the fun. But Mark Evans, the station's treas­


urer, explains that help is needed right now to make the day a success. He said: • “We are calling on local businesses to help us out by booking a stall or donat­ ing a prize for the raffle. . “This will be an ideal way of promot-


, mg their business, as well as contribut­ ing towards Kibble Valley Radio's fund­ raising efforts. “Hopefully there ivill be something for


everyone. Whether it's face-painting for children or the chance to record your own mini radio show, we hope it will be a great Easter event. “And every penny we raise on the day


will go towards getting the Kibble Val­ ley's own station back on air.” •


Kibble Valley Radio broadcast for a


one-month trial period last December and proved popular with a growing number of listeners. The team is now trying to raise


£6,000 to pay for another trial broadcast licence, and they hope to be hitting the airwaves once again in June. ■ The Easter fun day is the first of a


series of fund-raising events planned throughout the year. ^ ^ A stall or table at the event is only


£10 plus a dontion of a prize for the raf­ fle, but Mark urges local businesses or


. community groups to book now, as there are not many spaces left. , There is also a rather strange request


from the station's fund-raisers - they want someone to lend them an Easter bunny costume!


Mark said: “One of our DJs, Paul


Johnson, has volunteered to walk round town on the morning of the 15th dressed as a bunny handing out leaflets. I think he thought we wouldn't get one so he would be sate, but we think it will be a great way to attract attention on the day.” :,:.

SHARP-SUITED crou­ piers took over a church hall to help raise money for park play equipment. Members of the Sabden ■


Play Park Trust enjoyed the thrill of a casino - complete with roulette wheels, black­ jack and poker tables inside St Mary’s Hall to raise money for a wheelchair- : accessible roundabout; Mrs Alison Watson, chair-.


man of the group, said: “A group of mums formed the group in 2004 because we:: were worried that there was little play provision for tod­ dlers in the village. : Up to now we have raised


£15,000 for a multi-unit and swings, which are to be


installed soon. We now want to put in a special round­ about but it will cost £11,000 so we are holding a number of fund-raising events. We had a casino night last year which went very well, and so invited back the Las Vegas Fun Casino again. ‘T would, like to thank all


the local businesses and peo­ ple who sponsored a table on the night.”


. . The group still needs to ■raise another £9,000 and if anyone would like to support them they can call Jacqui Ashton on 770499. ■ Pictured are some of those


present at the event. • (T260206/5)

www.ciitheroetoday.co.uk Harry’s happy time in Valley


A MAN who adopted the Kibble Valley as his second home and spent many happy, hours enjoying the company of his son and grandchildren, died aged 93.


Harry Foley, a resident of


Clitheroe Care Home, was born in Eltham, London. Moving to


■ Central London, he left school and started work for a whofele chemist.


: He met his late wife, Amy,


and the couple married prior to his joining the RAF and being stationed at Warminster and Morecambe. After the war, he worked for London Transport, moving


eventually to St Albans from where he retired in 1979. As a bus conductor, he worked on Express Greenline Coaches, which still run in London, and Routemaster Coaches, which were withdrawn in 1974. A restored model of the latter, driven by one of his friends, was used as a funeral hearse on Tuesday,


- ■ In retirement he became


active at St Albans City Hall as assistant floor manager and was witness to the attempt to blow up the Royal Marines Band at what is now the Alban Arena. An avid model railway enthu­


siast, he thoroughly enjoyed vis­ iting and helping at his son.


Peter’s, business a t Holden Clough Nursery on the out­ skirts of Boltbn-by-Bowland. When the business was in its infancy, he helped out by run­ ning the family stall at Settle Market. : He suffered a stroke in 1996,


but overcame it and in 2003 moved into sheltered accommo­ dation in Reading, continuing to support the family business and his grandchildren; Mary and John, of .whom'he was extremely proud. Latterly, Holden Clough had


become his holiday retreat and he was never happier than hear­ ing of its achievements, occa­ sionally attending talks and


helping at flower shows. He fol­ lowed . Mary’s progress at Durham University, and was delighted when John, currently working alongside his father, won the Junior Engineer com­ petition for the North West in the 16 to 18 year category. Following a spell in Clitheroe


Hospital, he moved to Clitheroe Care Home, where he made some good friends. He leaves two sons, Peter and


Geoffrey, a brother and his two grandchildren.


. ; The funeral service took place at St Mary’s Church, Marshal- swick on Tuesday and was fol­ lowed by interment at Sand- bndge Cemetery, St Albans.
