THIS Christmas we want to make sure our Toy Appeal is bigger and bet­ ter than ever. For the th ird consecutive year the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times has, joined forces with Salvation Army officers to help local families.- The idea is simple - we want to give new


toys, games and gifts to Clitheroe families who find themselves in desperate need at this time of year. Since our first appeal two years ago,


. more than 200 children have enjoyed a happier Christmas thanks to the generosi­ ty of you, our readers. All we are asking is that when you are


out and about buying gifts for friends and family, spare a thought for those who find


Sale boasts record profits A NEARLY new sale held by a local charity made record profit. The sale to raise money for the NCT, a


charity offering support to' new and expec­ tant mums, made a total profit of £1,017.96 - making it the most successful sale they have ever had. The NCT would like to thank helpers and


sellers a t the sale, which was held at the St Mary’s Centre in Clitheroe. Proceeds will go towards funding the


charity’s drop-in centre for new mums and ante-natal teacher training. The next nearly-new sale will take place on February 24th a t the same venue.

It’s time for real Christmas spirit


the festive season a particularly trying time financially. By donating one new gift, no matter


how big or small, for a child - whether baby, tot or teenager, you really could make a big difference to their Christmas. . Presents do not need to be too expen­


sive, a few pounds buys a book, toiletries or even a toy. There are two collecting points, one


located at the Clitheroe Advertiser office in King Street, and the other at the Salva­ tion Army shop in Lowergate. You have just three weeks to take part


in this worthwhile appeal as the last offi­ cial date for .collection will be Thursday, December 7th, to make sure Salvation Army officers Capt. Elizabeth Smith and Lt Brenda Wise, pictured with reporter Natalie Cox, have time to sort out the presents and d is tr ib u te them around


Clitheroe to families who have been identi­ fied as being in need. •While the festive focus tends to be on


family, the Salvation Army also turns its attention-to those who find themselves on their own. On Christmas Day, Capt Smith and Lt


Wise, together with as many volunteer helpers as possible, host a special free lunch for people of any age who would oth­ erwise have been alone. In 2004,15 people enjoyed a meal and


afternoon fun, with 20 taking up the opportunity last year. In 2006 Clitheroe’s Salvation Army leaders would love to see all the available places taken. As places are liinited, anyone who wants


to attend the free meal needs to fill in the coupon on the right and take it along to the S alvation Army shop, or post i t through the letterbox. (B141106/2a)


World-class wetland on our doorstep


LECTURER Stuart Meredith focused on “The Ribble Estuary - A World Class Wetland” when he addressed Clitheroe Naturalists. Of the country’s 132 estuaries, the Rib­


ble, the Wash and Morecambe Bay are of p e a t importance with the Ribble stand­ ing alone as a single river outlet. Mr Meredith, who leads bird-watching


tours all over the world, told his audience that there is more wildlife in estuary mud. than in tropical rainforests. A square metre contains 30,000 minute corofin shrimps and 40,000 hydrobian snails. Ragworms and lugworms also provide food for the migrant birds, with fly lines bringing winter visitors from Siberia, Ice­ land and Greenland. High quality slides

illustrated the arrivals including the pink-footed goose and the shell duck. The closure of the Port of Preston in


1981 caused mud banks to expand pro­ ducing.more snails for the pintail. Curlews are also found around the estu­ aries, with bird numbers counted by teams of people at an appointed time of day to add to the knowledge about par­ ticular species. In the area four or five pairs of egrets


have been spotted, as well as whimbrel on their way to Africa, but the most amaz­ ing slide shown was a pair of spoonbills - a breed which has reappeared after an absence of 300 years. Chairman Frank Mason thanked Mr Meredith at the end of his talk.

A small piece of history comes home


A HISTORIC old document has been returned to its rightful Ribble Valley home. Dated March 4th, 1841,


the document is a deed to let which relates to Clitheroe’s Rose and Crown pub. It has been given to the


new licensees of the King Street hostelry, Lyndsey and Simon Hope, by Mrs Betty Byrne, whose father, James Wilkinson, was at the pub from 1933 to 1957 before selling it to Thwaites Brew­ ery.


The document states that


the property “to be let by private tre a ty ” from May 12th, 1841, is the Rose and Crown.


I t mentions the stables,


coach houses, brew house, • yard and other conveniences “now occupied by Miss Ward”


Ward of th e Swan Hotel, Bolton-le-Moors, or to make their application to either Clitheroe Castle or Le Gen- dre Nicholas Starkie esquire


of Huntroyd, the o\vner. Although originally called


th e Rose and Crown, the pub was later known as the Starkie Arms, before revert­ ing to its original name five years ago. Delighted to have been


given a document which reveals a l i t t le about Clitheroe’s past, the Hopes now plan to have it profes­ sionally framed before giving it pride of place in the pub. Mrs Byrne has also given


them an old food bill for 11 gentlemen who enjoyed eat­ ing and dr inking for the princely sum of £3.15 and an advertisement for a pub­ lic auction to be held at the Rose and Crown at 3 p.m. on February 1st, 1859, where life policies for £1,000 and bonuses would be for sale by


I t asks anyone wanting th e Norwich Union Life particulars to contact Mr Insurance Society.


Our picture shows landla­


dy of the Rose and Crown Mrs Hope with the deed dating back to 1841. (B201106/2)

ANDREA Sachs (Anne Hathaway), a small town girl fresh out of college, lands the job a million girls would die for. Hired as the assistant to


Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the high-profile and fabulously successful editor of Runway maga­ zine, she finds herself in an office that shouts “Prada! Armani! Versace!” at every turn. I t is a world populated


by impossibly thin, heart- wrenchingly s tylish women and beautiful men ■ clad in fine-ribbed turtle­ necks and t ig h t leather pants that show off their addiction to th e gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can tu rn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. Will Andrea survive?
