MORE than 40 members attended Clitheroe Gar- , den Club’s annual meeting at Ribblesdale Wander- ers’clubhouse, where secretary Iris Gregson stood in for chairman Bill Gregson, who was indisposed. A year ago, 13-year-old Deborah O’Reilly was elected to the committee in bid to involve more young people in the club’s activities, particularly the annual show. Her involvement with the “Walk- ing Stick Challenge" last year, where youngsters had to grow their own Jersey kale walking stick, i more than quadrupled the number of children tak- ing part and b ro u ^ t in a number of whole families
to compete. Begonia expert Vincent Potts was also elected to the committee last year, broadening members’ horticultural knowledge. He also dis played his skill as a photographer.
- Bill Gorst, a valued general committee member
and financial adviser to the club, took on the job of organising the two main club trips last year, due to the lack of a social secretary. Kathleen Sharpies jo in ^ the committee three

for their considerable work over the past year, together with those non-committee members who had taken on responsible roles in club affairs. In her review, Mrs Gregson said that membership num- ’ bers were exactly the same as in 2004. In total, 137 membership cards were issued and, when joint family membership was taken into account, the^ club had almost 200 members. Club activities had

MIDDLETON-DRYDEN RRP
PHOTOGRAPHER Heather Dryden found herself the focus of attention as she married insulation engineer John Middleton. The couple, both of Clitheroe, were mar
ried in a ceremony at St Paul’s Church con ducted by the Rev. Rodney Nicholson. Miss Dryden, is the daughter of Mr Ray
mond Dryden, of Copperfield Close, Clitheroe, and Mrs Patricia Dryden, of Kirk- moor Road, Clitheroe. Her bridegroom is the son of Mr Tony
Middleton, of Back York Street, Clitheroe, and Mrs Mary Middleton, of Beech Street, also Chtheroe. Escorted down the aisle by her father, the
bride was given away by her mother. She wore a one-piece strapless gown with a
corset back. The rich taffeta caught-up style skirt was embellished with diamond-shaped pearl and crystal motifs and had a sweetheart
neckline sprinkled with pearl and crystal accents, covered with a white off-the-shoul- ,der shrug. A three-quarter length veil scat tered with diamante was held in place by a tiara from New York. She carried a bouquet of white roses and antliuriums decorated with diamante, silver and black twigs and blossom ball lights. : Chief bridesmaid was the bride’s sister.
Dawn Dryden, and other attendants were the bride’s other sisters, Stacey Marks and Fiona Dryden, and her friends, Georgina Cudworth and Stacey Noble. They wore two- piece dresses, the black shimmer bodices had . lace front detail with fishtail skirts. All wore
mini tiaras and had black shoulder shrugs and evening gloves. Their hand-tied bouquets
had cuffs of diamante, white roses and anthuriums and were decorated with dia
mante and silver twigs. The bridegroom was supported by two
best men, his friend, Steven Cudworth, and his brother, Tony Middleton. Ushers were the couple’s children, Joseph and Jack, and Elliott Dprden, aU wore top hats and tails. Following the ceremony a reception took
place at The Moorcock Inn, Waddington. The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon m

‘Gar walk’ jaunt ends in court
DRUNKEN teenagers making their way home in Clitheroe amused themselves b'y^oing "car walking." Blackburn magistrates heard
th a t Kier James Slater caused £1,164 worth of damage to the bonnet and roof of a Ren au lt Scenic parked in Farraday Avenue. And the 18-year-old labourer
admitted walking on two more cars during the wrecking spree. Slater, of Henthorn Road, plead
ed guilty to criminal damage and asked for two similar offences to be taken into consideration. He was ordered to pay £500 com
pensation to the owner of the Scenic to cover the excess on her insurance policy and loss of no claims bonus. . Mrs Shamaila Qufeshi (prosecut
ing) said residents in the Farraday Avenue area had been woken about 12-20 a.m. by loud banging. The owners of several cars found
they had been damaged. Mrs Qureshi said a juvenile had also been charged with criminal damage and would appear before the youth court. Miss Deborah Morgan (defend
ing) said Slater was appalled by his own behaviour. “He had been drinking with a
number of o th er youths and became involved in something which he now deeply regrets,” said Miss Morgan.
New advice scheme launched to ensure a speedier service
PEOPLE should find it easier to get advice from Lancashire Trading Standards following the launch of a new telephone advice service. ■ Consumer Direct is a government-
backed initiative set up to handle all calls to Trading Standards across the Northwest. • From the end of last month calls
from Lancashire customers now go through to Consumer Direct, allow ing thousands more consumer prob lems to be dealt with each year. . Lancashire Trading Standards
currently deal with more than, 50,000 inquiries a year, but increas ing demand for the service means th a t almost one in three calls go unanswered during busy periods. ‘ A highly-trained team of advisers
at Consumer Direct will now handle; all complaints about consumer issues
while referring urgent matters or
calls about crime, under-age sales and public safety to staff at the Lan cashire office. i ■ County Coun. Jean Battle, Cabi net member for Community Plan ning and Partnerships, said: “There is growing demand from the public for consumer advice, and research has shown that Trading Standards alone can no longer keep up. “Our staff assist people in Lan
cashire to recover more than £10 million in refunds, replacements or repair for faulty goods and services every year. But the telephone advice lines are often overloaded, resulting in delay or lost calls which means we could be doing even more to help consumers.
■ “By using Consumer Direct as the first contact for consumers, our staff will be freed up to tackle the more serious problems of consumer fraud.
