FUNGI was the topic chosen by Dr Irene Eidge when she made a return visit to Clitheroe Natu-


• ralists. . Explaining that fungi is neither plant nor ani­ mal, but belonging to a kingdom of its own, she said that what is seen above ground is only a manifestation of the network of activity below. ■


Most common in our woodland, she grouped it

The Shaggy Inkcap is edible, while young black spored fungi such as the Black Bul- gar have a sinister aspect. Shapes vary from mushroom-like forms to giant puffballs, cup shapes with some resembling cauliflowers and coral; On trees, bracket fungi are tough and take many years to develop. A charming family group, loosely termed


waxcaps, are delicately coloured with little hats. Chantarelles are pale orange-coloured, funnel-shaped and delicious to eat. Slides of the wide range of colour made

Top climber is club’s guest


ACCLAIMED climber Richard Haszko returns to Clitheroe Mountaineering Club tonight to give an eagerly-anticipated talk on some of his adventures. Richard, who lives in Sheffield, has a


number of friends in the Clitheroe club and is a regular attendee at its events. His last slide show for the club was about climbing the sea stacks around the Scottish coast in the company of a group of friends includ­ ing Joe Simpson (of “Touching the Void” fame) and former England wicket-keeper Bruce French. This year he ventures fur­ ther afield with the story of two trips in. 2005, where he rediscovered the joys of Himalayan mountaineering after several unsuccessful trips. His talk will concentrate on the ascent of


a 21,000 ft peak in Nepal, but will also touch on his recent expedition to the Indian Himalaya with Sir Chris Bonington, for whom he worked for several years. The slide show will take place at the


club’s usual third Thursday of the month evening venue, Clitheroe Cricket Club, on


: Chatburn Road, starting at 8 p.m. Every­ one is welcome arid contributions of £4 on


. the door from non-club members would be greatly appreciated.


Thumbs up to extension plan


AN application for a three-storey rear extension to provide additional office accommodation in York Street, Clitheroe,


. has been approved. Members of Ribble Valley Borough plan­


ning and development committee gave the go-ahead for the plans at 42/44 York Street despite objections. Formally Pye’s of Clitheroe, the building


will incorporate a shop to employ between three and five people and new office space to employ 20 to 30 people. "rhe existing rear extensions at the prop­


erty will be replaced with a structure hav­ ing maximum dimensions of approximate­ ly 9.5m X 7.7m x 8.4m to eaves and 10m to the apex of thereof. Objections were raised by a neighbouring


resident, whose main concern was the potential loss of light to his property. The agent for the application spoke in favour of the plans, arguing that there is a demand for office space in Clitheroe and it would


■ mean a long-term use of the building. For your full TV listings -
