www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Louise follows her dream


A LIFE COACH has raised £1,500 for charity after following her dream to run the London Marathon. Louise Yates (39), of Paythome,


completed the 26-mile race in four hours and 21 minutes and will be donating all proceeds towards Leukaemia Research and Alder Hey Children's Hospital.


The mother-of-two, who ran in


aid of a friend’s son diagnosed with leukaemia, started jogging 10 years ago. The owiier of a life coaching business, which helps people to improve both business and personal performance, Louise decided it was time she followed her own advice. “My job is to help people to live th e ir dream, so I decided it was

time that I started living mine,” she said. Now a competitive sportswoman,


Louise had already completed two half-marathons and due to extra fund-raising has in to ta l raised £3,000 for leukaemia. “I would like to thank everyone


who has supported my fund-raising efforts,” Louise said.

president Robert Morpeth welcomed everyone and handed the meeting over to the chairman for the evening, Penny Ogden. Ron Loebell delivered his number three


speech, intended to demonstrate how a speech should be logically constructed. This was evaluated by Robert Morpeth who encouraged him to proceed to the next


assignment in the series of 10 from the Speakers’ Manual. The topics session saw Glene Holmes inviting members to talk at s moment’s notice on a variety of subjects ranging from “memories” to “animals” and “walking” to “eating”. The best response ol the evening was judged to be Barbara Crowther talking about hobbies. Summing up the evening as a whole,


Dennis Ogden congratulated the club or having members happy to fill in if there should be a gap on the agenda, at a meet­ ing which was both educational and fun. The next meeting is on Monday at a


temporary meeting place, the old site of the Ribblesdale Camera Club (Ribble Lane, Chatbum,) at 7-30 p.m.

- Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, May 11th^2006 2 3 1 A dedicated lover of cycling by Natalie Cox


A DEDICATED amateur cyclist who clocked up hundreds of miles over more than seven decades has died. Mr Alan Fisher (91), was a life


member of the Cycling Touring Club of Great Britain and received a certifi­ cate acknowledging 75 years’ unbro­ ken membership. Well known across the Ribble Valley


for his cycling, Mr Fisher would ride up to 100 miles a day when he was in his 70s and a decade later would still venture out on his bike for around two hours a day. As a young man he cycled through­


out Europe and was in Germany at the time of the Berlin Olympics in 1936. As a keen photographer he took pic­ tures not only of streets decked in Nazi banners, but also of uniformed Nazi supporters, known as brownshirts, on the pavement. Born in Nelson in 1914, he was a


pupil at Nelson Grammar School leav­ ing at the age of 14.


Mr Fisher worked for his father’s


business, a wholesale fruit and veg­ etable concern, which was known locally as the Albert Fisher Group. Based in Broad Street, Nelson, the


company’s fleet of lorries delivered fresh eatables across East Lancashire and into Yorkshire. Over time the Fishers’ acquired businesses in Colne,

Arnhem. Widely accepted as one of the most heroic failures of the war, it was immortalised in the film “A Bridge Too Far”. Mr Fisher was one of the first air­


borne troops to land in Operation Market Garden, in September 1944 and one of 2,000 from the original 10,900-strong force to return. Of 140 men in D company only five

returned and Mr Fisher was one of two to escape unscathed. He had joined the air landing brigade from the Lancashire Fusiliers and was first a corporal and later Company Sergeant Major in the 1st Air Landing Brigade the Border Regiment. In late September 1944 Mr Fisher wrote home about his experience.


describing Arnhem as “an endless hell”. Although his family have a copy of that letter, his original account of what happened is in the Arnhem Museum. Mr Fisher, who had led an active life,


died peacefully after a short illness.. He was married to his wife, Kath­


leen, for more than 57 years. The cou­ ple lived in Nelson and Burnley, but following Mr Fisher’s retirement they moved to Sabden and more recently made their home in Clitheroe. The couple had four children, John, Richard, Helen and Andrea, and 11


grandchildren. Mr Fisher’s funeral took place on


Tuesday afternoon at Clitheroe Parish Church.


Sun shines down on 60 classic cars


GLORIOUS sunshine attracted droves of vintage car enthusiasts to a St George’s Day rally through the Ribble Valley. In all 60 motorists turned up for the


two-hour, 50-mile run, which had been organised by the Lancashire Automobile Club (1902) Ltd, starting at the Black Bull, Old Langho Road, Old Langho. Numbers were swelled by members of


the Ribble Valley Mini Owners’ Club with 11 minis joining in the fun. Other cars included an Astin Martin DB5, a 1926 model T Ford and many more. The cars travelled to Longridge and

car window flags were sold at the begin­ ning of the rally raising £150 for the Motorsport Safety Fund. Meanwhile, patriotic Ribble Valley residents turned out to watch the spectacle some waving St George flags and Union flags. “People really got behind the event


and came out of their homes to wave flags as we drove past,” commented organiser David Bell, adding he planned to make it an annual event. Other special dates in the club’s diary


include the Fellsman Classic Rally, which starts at the Waddington Arms, Waddington, on May 20th, and the Greater Manchester to Blackpool Car Run on June 11th. For further details, contact Mr Bell on
