eries, which are Bowland Brewery, Copper Dragon, Skipton, Old Bear Brewery and Little Valley Brewery in Hebden Bridge, to ensure the event is a huge success.; He said: “We have never had a beer festival and I


' think this is something that we need in Clitheroe.” Mr Lakin added that the occasion will give hundreds of visitors an opportunity to enjoy quality entertain­ ment featuring local bands, folk singers and there will be lots of refreshments on offer. “The event will get local


people together and give- them an opportunity to cel­ ebrate the real ale we have


to offer,” added Mr Lakin “Depending on its success we will decide whether or not to t i p it into a two-day event with more beers and


plenty of entertainment. “However, we need mem­


bers of the public who are keen to help or perform to come forward and pledge their support. The feedback that we have had so far has been fantastic and we hope more people will support the idea to make it a mas­ sive success.”

Children enjoyed half-tterm fun B ■ By Faiza Afzaal •f. ■<'


A LASTING memorial to a popular Clitheroe police­ man who died during a holiday in Switzerland last year has been created. An annual golfing tourna­


ment will be held to honour th e memory of Sgt John Lucas. Father-of-one Sgt Lucas


(40) died after being swept away by a snowslide during a mountaineering holiday in the Alps last summer. He was accompanied by


close friend, Sgt Chris Bay- butt (46), from Chorley, who also died in the accident. The experienced moun­


taineers had travelled to the popular resort of Zermatt in south Switzerland on July 5th. Friends and colleagues a t Clitheroe police, where Sgt Lucas had worked since Sep­ tember 2003, are keeping his memory alive by holding an 18-hole golf tournament at Whailey Golf Club later this year. The special one-day competition will see officers from Clitheroe police teeing off ,to win the John Lucas Memorial Trophy and have


. their name inscribed on the memorial plaque. ■ The inaugural tournament


HALF-TERM play- schemes at Clitheroe’s Roe- field Leisure Centre meant the youngsters attending were anything but bored. The full week of activi­


ties went extremely well, including guest football coaches from Blackburn Rovers FC and a crime- busting talk by the police. The young people loved dressing up in police uni­ form and exploring the riot


van, and special thanks go to Roefield’s neighbours for putting up with the siren going off each time the children tried their hand at being police officers! Leisure centre manager


Tony Rodia thanked the police and football coaches for their input, and every­ one else who helped to make the playschemes so successful and enjoyable. “The fun time swimming


sessions always create great cheer and we would like to thank Ribblesdale pool for their help throughout the week. The children created masterpieces in the arts and crafts competition, and the winners, Connor and Isaac Banki-Williams, each won a £5 voucher kindly donated by McDonalds.” Our p ictu re shows

Korol and Ted Ross, of Clitheroe police, worked closely with Sgt Lucas and believe he will always be remembered through this special event. Speaking about his love of


golf, PC Korol said: “As well as climbing mountains, John was a Whailey Golf Club member and enjoyed it very much. In fact, he was bitten by the golf bug! “We wanted to honour his


memory by arranging some­ thing th a t reflected his hobby and also something that is a continuous memori­ al rather than just a plaque. “We were all shocked and deeply saddened by his


-untimely death. “When John was working


in Clitheroe they were the happy days and ones that I

echoed by PC Ross who said: “I regularly played golf with John and feel at least we have something to remember him by. He is sorely missed by all who had th e pleasure of working with him.” Sgt Lucas’ wife, Liz said:


“Holly and I feel really pleased that John was so well thought of and friends are honouring his memory in this way.” Born in May 1965 in


Blackburn, Sgt Lucas had been serving with Lancashire

Alan ‘walks’ in Lady’s footsteps


THE journeys th a t Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, undertook while visiting her castles, were described by Mr Alan Plowright, himself a long-distance walker, at Clitheroe Naturalists’ lecture. Lady Anne was born in 1590, the daugh­


ter of George, the third Earl of Cumber­ land. She lived until 1676, a great age in those times. Being a woman, she had a long struggle


to inherit the Clifford estates following the deaths of her father, brother and uncle, but encouraged by her mother. Lady Margaret Russell, and with her own determination, she returned to the North in 1649 to claim the lands and castles of her family. As a result of the civil war all were in a


ruinous state and she restored five castles including Skipton Castle, built almshous­ es at Appleby and the beautiful hospital at Beamsley near Bolton Abbey. Her journeys followed the River Wharfe,


passing through Burnsall where the old grammar school, built in 1602 by Sir- William Craven (one-time Mayor of Lon- ^ don), is still in use as a primary school. An entourage of 300 servants accompanied her together \Hth furniture and bedding. The limestone dry valley of Conistone


Dip, beyond Grassington, led to Kilnsey Old Hall, once a nionastic grange belong­ ing to Fountains Abbey, on Mastiles Lane, the ancient drove road from Malham. Beyond Hardraw Force “Lady Anne’s


Highway” climbed the steep Cotter End to the wild scenery of Garsdale and to the Hell Gill Waterfall, the source of the river Eden. This well-respected lady died a t her favourite castle.
