Ui 10’ . Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, January 19th, 2006 www.clitheroetoday.co.uk • Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Change of venue for camcorder club l i P


THERE is a new venue for the Ribble Val­ ley Camcorder Club. As a consequence of moving its meeting night


to the first and third Thursday of each month, members now meet at the Pendle Club, in Lower- gate in Clitheroe at 7-30 p.m. It is expected that the new venue and night will be more suitable for


[ili [Mb


many existing and prospective members and will allow filming to take place more easily ■within the premises when required.


. . The first meeting there was attended by mem­


bers and guests who took part in a group filming exercise, in which seven cameras were in position simultaneously capturing the many functions of


: a toy railway set moving goods around a track. The short movie will be edited by Ken Brass ready for the next meeting, when he will show the process of lining up all the camera tracks and the method of chopping the frames to show each operation in detail with the close-up shots obtained. This system of multi-camera filming


will be used at a later meeting when the use ol microphones will be demonstrated during a series of interviews. This system allows both the inter- •viewer and interviewee to be seen in close-up dur­ ing the session, along with wider shots of the stu-


dio. ' Later in the meeting, the members split into ■ small groups to plan an advert, which is to be shot at the next meeting and then edit-


: ed and shown later. This will hone the skills of shooting close-ups, cutting very tight • scenes and a sharp script to create an advert which will catch attention and leave an impression. A film of the Henthorn Landfill Site was


ftU


shown, which was taken by Gordon Taylor before it closed in November. This showed the operations carried out on the site with the lorries and dozers etc, including cover­ ing the waste and the methane gas collec­ tion. It also included the history of the site from the year 1258, when it was a com mill, to being a sewage works in 1894, to the pres­ ent time. A demonstration was given of how the pace of the film was adjusted to enable the operations to be seen at an acceptable speed, the use of pictures within pictures to create interest and then how to obtain a still picture from a frame of the video. The aims of the club are to encourage,


promote and develop the art of moviemak­ ing to the widest possible audiences, to encourage young people to become involved in both production and the performing arts and to provide entertainment to local organisations covering all ages and subjects, eg youth clubs, church groups and retire­ ment homes etc. In furtherance of these objectives, the club gave a show to the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale last month and are to do the same for the Ribblesdale Cam­ era Club on January 17th at 7-30 p.m. at the Young Farmers Centre, Clitheroe. The next meeting mil take place tonight


at the Pendle Club, Lowergate. Members will take their cameras and tripods to make the various adverts planned at the last meeting. New members and guests are wel­ come to watch or join in. Further details can be obtained from Ken

Keep warm in winter


A CAMPAIGN encouraging everyone to keep warm and well this winter has been launched. Health officials have ordered supplie.s of


a guide produced by the Department of Health to distribute to visitors and patients throughout their hospitals. The booklet provides useful advice on how to stay healthy in the winter months, together wth information about the practical and finan­ cial help that is available. Jo Cubbon, chief executive for Lancashire


Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “Winter poses an additional risk to health. This is particu­


larly true for older people, and those who have chronic illnesses or who are ■vulnerable to illness due to disability. W^hilst we have done everything we can to prepare for the winter period, it is always a busy time tor hospitals and we encourage everyone to do as much as they can to keep warm and healthy over the winter period. “If everyone takes the kind of practical

common sense steps outlined in the ‘Keep Warm, Keep Well’ guide it will help us make sure that we can respond to the needs of the people of East Lancashire.” Every year all NHS Trusts are required


to produce a “Winter Plan” indicating how they intend to cope with the pressures on the system during winter, how they will actively monitor the situation and deal with any extreme pressures. 'Tlie NHS locally is also required to


report regularly to the Department of Health on how it is performing. As well as the guide itself there is also a freephone advice line (0800 085 7000).

Air ambulance better off thanks to cash aid


by Vivien’Meath


JUST days after the North "West Air Ambulance was called to a road traffic inci­ dent in Clitheroe, represen­ tatives of Clitheroe, service organisations presented a cheque for £7,000 to the life­ saving charity. The money represented the


proceeds from the town’s bonfire and fireworks display, with cheques for £1,400 each donat­ ed from the Rotary Clubs of Clitheroe and Ribblesdale, Clitheroe Round Table, the Lions Club and the Rotary


Club of Pendle View- N'WAA chief executive Lynda


Bfislin accepted the cheques and expressed thanks to all con­ cerned, particularly Castle Cement who sponsored the event for the seventh time. The air ambulance is a vital


tool in the emergency services, particularly within the Ribble Valley where, due to the wide­ spread terrain, it is called out to emergencies on a regular basis. The cheques were handed


over prior to a meeting of the Rotary Club of Cllitheroe at the Old Post House Hotel. Speaker at the meeting was


recently retired police inspector Bob Ford, who described his 30- plus years career in the police force, from starting as a cadet in Clitheroe to working in loca­ tions including Blackpool and Accrington and finally retiring as geographical inspector local­


ly- He thrived, he said, on the


variation offered by the job. Mr Ford illustrated how crime had changed over three decades,' along with modes of transport and theories on how to combat crime. Stealing lead flashing in the


’70s had, he said, been replaced by stealing stones and flags, plasma televisions, satellite navigation systems, even airbags complete with steering wheels! Answering a multitude of


questions, he touched bn identL ty cards, government “knee jerk” reactions to the rising tide of youth crime, the effectiveness or otherwise of community service and DNA. - .

Best feet forward MP backs fight to


HOPING for a fine day on February 5th are employees of a Clitheroe travel compa­ ny.


Staff, family and friends of Althams


Travel are undertaking a 10-mile Sunday stroll! It is all in a good cause, with spon­ sorship going to East Lancashire Hospice. Althams’ branches in Blackburn and


Accrington are also taking part in similar sponsored walks with the proceeds for the hospice. Tt is not the first time that Clitheroe


employees have put their best feet forward. Previous events have raised money for other local charities. The route will take the group of around


20 people and pets tb Mitton, Whalley, Barrow and back and it is hoped to com­ plete it in around two-and-a-half to three hours. Sponsorship forms are available from Althams in King Street, Clitheroe and staff will appreciate customers’support.


Extra time for a Grand revamp


EXTRA time has been granted to revamp The Grand in Clitheroe by council bosses. . Members of Ribble Valley Borough Coun­


cil’s Community Committee agreed to grant an extension of the time it will take to rede­ velop the former Civic Hall into a youth arts centre. ■ This is the second time an extension has


been granted by the council. The first was a two-year extension to allow for the prb^vision of a bar and cafe back in March 2002. Stumbling blocks, such as delays over list­


ed building consent, have hindered develop­ ment and this new extension will give devel­ opers until the end of November 2007 tc complete the work. The Lancaster Foundation acquired The


Grand from the council in 2000 and original­ ly wanted to demolish it, replacing it with a new building. However, a campaign by local residents to save the building halted these plans and it was given Grade II Listed Build­ ing status. , As the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times recently reported, the first phase of the £4m. project should be completed by March.


• A PACT (Police and Community Together) meeting for residents in Sales-, bury, Wilpshire and Clayton-le-Dale will be held at Salesbury-Community Hall on Saturday at 11 a.m. Any policing con­ cerns can be raised with P(I) Andy Lang, who can also be contacted ■via his voice- mail number, 01254 353016.


ban illegal logging ILLEGAL logging, putting endan­ gered wildlife at risk of extinction, has been condemned by Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans. . He backed an Early-Day Motion in the House of Commons, which wel-


, corned a ’World Wildlife Fund report on illegal logging and called on the Gov­ ernment to address the issue urgently. Mr Evans said: “Last year I visited


Gabon and saw for myself the problems that logging causes. It is shocking to learn th a t the UK is the biggest importer of illegal wood in the Euro­ pean Union and it is a record of which we should be ashamed. “I call on the Government to do all it


can to aid countries who are struggling to combat illegal logging and to tackle the disgraceful levels of illegal wood imported into the UK.”
