of a series of sessions held at the pre­ school, where children have been gaining an insight into different languages and cultures of popular holiday destinations

able to wear the garment again as it brought back such happy memo­ ries", Mr Steny said. His first posting as a vicar was to Middlestown, near Wakefield,


following a curacy at St John's Church, Huddersfield. He has also tutored an ordina­


tion course in Manchester and was chaplain to the then Bishop of Blackburn, the Rt. Rev Alan Chesters from 1994-7. VTiile spending two years at a l ­

large number of people and includ­ ed singing by the Orpheus Singers.


The sermon was by the former


Bishop. A set of items for serving com­


munion in homes was presented to Mr Sterry, and his wife received a bouquet of flowers. A peal of “Grandsire Triples”


was rung on the church bells to cel­ ebrate the occasion. Members of the Lancashire Association of Bell­ ringers completed the peal in three hours and two minutes. Following the service refresh­


ments, including wine entitled "Vicar's jubilee", were served.

country at Under-19 and A-team level scor­ ing over 4,000 runs in first-class cricket in Sri Lanka, is Whalley Cricket Club’s pro­ fessional for this year. The talented cricketer will continue to


coach hundreds of promising young sports­ men and women over the summer term, thanks to funding obtained via Lords - the home of cricket. A spokesman for the club said: “The


money and cricket coaching scheme is thanks to the hard work of Dr David West- wood, chairman of Whalley Cricket Club. “It is hoped that some friendly cricket


matches will be arranged against the local Whalley Juniors side and that the project will be extended next season with a larger amount of schools being available for par­ ticipation.”


Have a wacky walk


RESIDENTS in Whalley are being encouraged to get “wacky” this weekend and put their best feet forward for a worthy cause. A sponsored “Wacky Walk” will take place on Sunday to raise funds to improve play facilities for


youngsters in the village. The move follows a campaign launched earlier


this year by members of the Whalley Playground Action Group to gain additional play facilities at the village’s neglected Proctor’s Field play area. Campaigners claim there is a lack of up-to-date


fun equipment at the park and joined forces to breathe new life into the community facility. Member and Whalley resident Mrs Angela Cun-


liffe is hoping that supporters will turn out in force and raise money towards the much-needed equip­ ment. The walk will take place at 3 p.m., on Sunday, at


the Spring Wood P-icnic Site. Sponsor forms can be obtained from the Spar shop in Whalley. The event will be rounded off \vith a picnic and a prize will be awarded to the wackiest walker!

designing five sheep for the Lambeth Walk display, situat­ ed nicely outside the hospital on the Chatbum Road site, for this year’s SheepFest event - only for the sheep to be stolen and destroyed by callous thieves. Mrs Ann Philip, therapy assistant at the hospital, was


-the first to discover some of the sheep missing and the remain­ ing vandalised. She was later informed that one of the sheep had been abandoned near the McDonald’s roundabout on the A59 and one near Ribbles- dale High School Technology College, Clitheroe; She is furi­ ous with the actions of the offenders.
