A NEIGHBOUR who heard a thud from the house next-door went round to find a 66-year-old man Ijdng dead at the foot of the stairs. An inquest heard that Neil Parkinson, of St Mary


Street, Clitheroe, had suffered heart failure, which had caused the fall, and not the other way round. The coroner recorded a verdict that Mr Parkinson died of natural causes.

Award for dedication


WEEK in, week out, whatever the weather, Clitheroe volunteer David Steer can be found keeping the town centre’s main noticeboard up-to-date with news of what’s happening, where


and when. His efforts brought official recognition


when, for the second year running, judges voted it the county’s best-kept noticeboard in the annual Lancashire Best-Kept Village Competition. The noticeboard, outside the Yorkshire


Bank, in Castle Street, was erected less than three years ago with money from Clitheroe The Future - a town centre regeneration partnership formed under the Government’s Market Towns Initiative. At around the same time, David was


looking for a way to put something back into his community. He inquired at Ribble Valley Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) and so it was that he got the job of keeping the new noticeboard filled with news of local events. “I said I’d give it a go and I’ve been doing


it ever since,” said David, who was pleased to win the county award for a second time. He works at the CVS with Andrea Duck­ worth, who collects and collates the various notices to be displayed. “Due to its popularity, it is sometimes


difficult to put all the notices in, but we ensure that everything we receive is put on display before the events they advertise,” said Andrea. “For more than two years Dawd has put


the notices in the board every Friday, what­ ever the weather, and this award is well- deserved recognition of this dedication.” The Best-Kept Village awards, including


several more Ribble Valley successes, will be presented on Saturday at West Bradford Village Hall. • If David’s dedication has inspired you


to do some voluntary work, visit Ribble Valley CVS at 1 Swan Mews, off Castle Street, Clitheroe, or telephone on 01200 422995. Any local group wishing to put a notice on the board should also take it to the CVS office.


Like a phoenix new club rises


by Hannah Ramsden


A CLITHEROE club has risen from the ashes after its funding was with­ drawn by Lancashire County Council. The newly-named Phoenix Club, which


meets at Henthorn Community Centre, promises to be even better than before, with a packed calendar of events to suit all residents aged over 55. The group used to meet at the centre for


computer and art lessons until funding ceased, but determined members vowed to continue the meetings. They formed a new committee to organ­


ise more varied activities such as trips, talks, bring-and-buy sales and demonstra­ tions in a bid to increase numbers. A spokesman for the club said: “When


the county council withdrew funding for the classes, we decided to form a commit­


tee because we felt it could bring senior cit­ izens out of their homes if we created more interesting events. “We held a meeting and decided to call


the club ‘The Phoenix Club’ as it arose from the ashes.


“Since then we have had an excellent response and are continuing to provide a


varied and enjoyable programme for mem­ bers.” The club, which has received support


from Ribble Valley Borough Council, now plans to start light exercise classes. Three grants have provided the Phoenix


Club with a new computer and accessories as well as paying for a trip to the Hot Ice show in Blackpool. Our picture shows Ribble Valley Mayor


and Mayoress, Coun. Peter Ainsworth and his wife, Thirza, along with club members at the official launch of the new facility. {T011009/10)
