Inventive scheme to back Blues


By Chris Boden


CLITHEROE have unveiled a unique initia­ tive designed to benefit both the club and potential sponsors. The club is already look­


3b:


ing towards next.season, and have devised an inven­ tive way of bringing in extra revenue, while at the same time offering a superb deal to patrons. The Blues aim to pro­


vide the first and reserve teams with new home and away kits, as well as track- suits for both squads. Club rules s ta te th a t


tracksuits should be worn before and after, travelling to and from games. And now the club are


looking for a sponsor whose name would be embroidered prominently on each tracksuit - a prime advertising opportunity for the next two seasons. This opportunity is


available for as little as £25, and no more than £ 100. For £100, you will


receive four tickets for the tra ck su it sponsorship draw, as well as a Chtheroe season ticket, valid for all home league matches dur­ ing the forthcoming sea­ son. A sum of £50 buys you


two tickets into the track- suit sponsorship draw, plus six admission tickets to be used a t home league matches of your choice, either all at once or over a fevv visits. And for £25, you will receive one ticket for the


tracksuit sponsorship draw, and three admission tickets for home games. The winner of the draw


will have th e ir name emblazoned on all of the club’s players’ tracksuits for the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons. There will be two run­


ners-up prizes of a free half-page advert in the club’s matchday pro­ gramme for the 2006/07 season. The closing date for this


superb opportunity is Fri­ day, June 30th, with the lucky winner drawn at the club’s annual Open Day in July. Someone is going to be


lucky and win two years’ superb advertising for an imbelievable price, and for more details, contact com­ mercial manager Bob Kay (07815458532). All told, the initiative is


another inventive idea designed to further aid Clitheroe’s recovery from what was something of a season from heU. The present conimittee


took charge on January 16th this year with barely enough money to pay the wage bill at the end of the week. But, recently, chairman


Carl Gamer has pulled off two huge coups in per­ suading FC United of Manchester and Confer­ ence champions Accring­ ton Stanley to play friend­ lies a t Shawbridge, both financial boosts for the kitty. The club’s next big proj­


ect is a new clubhouse, which, it is hoped will be

up and ready for the start of next season. The home changing


room also got a makeover, while efforts of loyal sup­ porters have also helped the cause. Four fans completed a 35-mile sponsored walk to Mossley over Easter, rais­ ing around £1,500 tp be split between Clitheroe and Macmillan Cancer Relief, while the Rimmer family worked hard put­ ting the Easter raffle together, and made th e club almost £700.'

£2 a month for adults and further information can be obtained by e-mailing membership secretary Roy Fearnhead

evening, which is also a cel- ebration of the 10th anniversary of Clitheroe’s FA 'Vase Final appearance at Wembley, will be held at Mytton Fold from 7-30 p.m. It promises to be a great


night with superb enter­ tainment, supper, raffle and stand-up bingo all for £22.50. Again, contact Bob Kay


on the above number for tickets, with a reduction available for multiple booking.


CLITHEROE Cobras Under 13s have progressed to the league final of the LCB Cup with a comfort­ able win at home to Edenfield. With two of their main players


missing due to county trials, the locals were a little apprehensive.


but didn’t need to worry as they cruised to a nine-wicket win. Inserting the opposition, the


Cobras, despite not bowling well, took wickets regularly, and bowled Edenfield out for 45. There were three wickets for


Nuttall, two for Dewhurst and Ramsden and one for Dent, together with two run outs. In reply, the Cobras had an


early scare with "Walsh being bowled in the first over. But Banks (10 not out) and


Dewhurst (27 not out) saw the game through. I t was a horrible night for crick­


et with storms and a wet spongy wicket. The Cobras now await the wiimers of local rivals Ribblesdale Wanderers and Cherry Tree.

Clitheroe sportsmen on target for charity


CLITHEROE sportsmen have been putting in the hours for charity over the weekend. Tireless Clitheroe cueist 'Vinny


Gilmour completed a 12-hour pool marathon for charity on Sunday. Gilmour went through 290 frames


at the Station Hotel on King Street, and is hoping to have raised between £800 and £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Relief when the final total is compiled.


And despite his exertions, "Vinny is


not sick of the green baize just yet, and will be in action again tonight for his team Station in the Clitheroe and District Pool League in their Second Division match at Craven Heifer A. . Meanwhile, fund-raisers from Old


Langho took part in a 12-hour darts marathon to boost funds for Derian House on Saturday. Bill Gronwald, Andy Lees and Lee


Bonnick, who all play in the Clitheroe and District Darts League, staged the event at the Crown Hotel, Accrington, and successfully man­ aged to raise £340 on the day, although they hope to rake in over £1,000. The trio completed a similar chal­


lenge last year, raising £1,050.12 for Pendlebury Renal Unit, and aim to better that total this time out.
