A stunning painted lady takes top place in series


THIS stunning shot of a butterfly was the winner when Ribblesdale Camera Club held its first competition of the win­ ter series for projected digital images. Entitled “Painted Lady”, it was taken by


Lesley Marklew, of Riraington. Her picture was described by competition judge Mike Stanley, from Blackburn, as “having superb details and very sharp... the yellow flowers behind the butterfly were totally appropri­ ate”. Ken Geddes’ “Rice Terraces, Bali” was placed second. The judge said that the farmer

was in the exactly right position and the maze of paths led the eye constantly back to the figure. Mike Battle’s “Market 'Trader, Cairo” made third with its “friendly trader with a lovely smUe”. Ian Heslop was fourth, Graham Dudley received a Highly Commended and pictures by Jeff Cowling and Steuart Kelling- ton were commended. A few general points were made before the detailed discussion of the pictures. With digital projections, it is best to use


the horizontal format as verticals only occu­ py part of the screen and lose impact. A num­

ber of the pictures were not totally sharp on projection. They were probably fine on a small com­


puter screen, but when enlarged six or seven times on a screen, small focus errors or cam­ era shake becomes obvious. Enlarged images must be used for the final selection for compe­ titions. During the meeting, the Frank Seller’s Tro­


phy for the highest club score in this year’s Inter-Club Photographic Alliance was pre­ sented to Ribblesdale chairman John Bradley.

A CLITHEROE radio presenter hit the high note when he sang non-stop for two hours and raised more than £200 for a worthwhile community cause. Gary Townsend (34), of Bawdlands in


Clitheroe, took centre stage at the town’s cricket club and belted out folk and Irish songs to boost funds for Ribble Valley Radio (RVR).


Gary is no stranger to showcasing his


vocal talents in front of packed audi­ ences. He regularly entertains senior citi­ zens at residential homes throughout the Ribble Valley and more recently present­ ed shows and compiled a 20-track CD with the help of RVR chairman Mr Steve Suttie. In return, proceeds from sold copies of


his CD have been donated towards RVR. Speaking about his sponsored sing-a-


thon challenge, he said: “I really enjoyed it. I enjoy singing live on RVR and want­ ed to help the community station by rais­ ing money for it.” Our picture shows the talented singer

Climbers head for Keswick


THIRTY-SEVEN members of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club held their recent annual dinner weekend in Keswick. Despite early heavy rain and gale force


winds, groups set out on the Saturday to climb a variety of peaks in the area. One party made its way to Skiddaw via


Jenkin Hill. Approaching Little Man the wind


increased so much that members were forced to detour and find shelter. Contin­ uing up Skiddaw’s south ridge the group battled its way to the trig point and, after enjoying a little respite, descended to the north to pick up the Cumbria Way and make their way back to the start point. A communal evening meal was held,


with club chairman Brian Davies thank­ ing those who had prepared food and con­ tributed to a successful event. On the Sunday torrential rain and con­


tinuing gales forced members to the national mountaineering exhibition at Rheged near Penrith. • The next outdoor event takes place


on Sunday, December 31st, when the group will leave the council offices car park at 8 a.m. for Scafell Pike.
