satellite TV as a passing fad, Mr Dugdale recognised its true potential and ploughed everything he had into transforming a run­ down fruit and veg shop in Chatbum Road into a base for his business. Since then he has worked to build it into a regional enterprise, with his distinctive “Dugdales” satellite dishes found throughout the North- West. This year’s Sky “Indie” awards will be

ine Rodgers, who has spearheaded the scheme, said: “Labyrinths hold a special place in history and have enjoyed a myriad of uses, including deterring evil spirits and testing the skill of horse­ back riders, as well as for pilgrimage, ritual and spiritual contemplation. “The Clitheroe Castle Labyrinth was con­


structed from grass and limestone on the site of an old bowling green, hence its nickname. Convex Green, which refers to its shape, colour and histo­ ry.


“We believe this is the first public labyrinth in


Lancashire and are delighted that it will join our community garden and skate park as another major attraction in the grounds of Clitheroe Cas­ tle.”


Richard Jackson, project manager for Clitheroe


the Future, said: “We are delighted to have sup­ ported the labyrinth through North West Region­ al Development Agency funding. “Public art is an essential part of our business


plan and we are particularly pleased that mem­ bers of the Ribble Valley community had an input into the labyrinth’s design.” Janet Barton, tourism and rural director for the Lancashire Economic Partnership, which funds

the Land Scheme, added: “The labyrinth is an excellent example of community involvement in land art. We are proud to have supported a project that adds another superb attraction to the East Lancashire Regional Park.” The Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Peter


Ainsworth, officially opened the labyrinth at a ceremony attended by council leaders and civic guests, including the High Sheriff of Lancashire, Peter Robinson, as well as Jim Buchanan and rep­ resentatives of the various funding bodies. The Mayor described the labyrinth as an excel­


lent example of partnership working and thanked the various partners for their input.


The labyrinth is part of a wider project to


regenerate Clitheroe Castle and grounds that includes a £200,000 skate park funded by the Lancaster Foundation, which has won a raft of awards since being opened in May, and the £80,000 Clitheroe Castle Community Garden, which opened in June. The ongoing £3.2m. Clitheroe Castle Heritage


Scheme will also transform the Castle and muse­ um into premier visitor attractions. Our picture shows the Mayor and other guests


being led, pied piper-style, around the new labyrinth.

Traders rise to challenge


MEMBERS of Clitheroe Chamber of Trade were quick off the mark after the High Sheriff of Lancashire issued a fund­ raising challenge in aid of the Clitheroe Castle Heritage Scheme. Peter Robinson issued a “£500 Challenge” to


schools and community groups in Ribble Valley as part of a massive scheme to restore Clitheroe Castle and Museum. And within a month of issuing the challenge,


Clitheroe Chamber of Trade has stepped for­ ward with a cheque. Mr Robinson said: “The Clitheroe Castle


Heritage Scheme is the most exciting and ambi­ tious heritage project in the North West and I can’t stress how important the support of every level of the community is to us. “We are extremely grateful to the Clitheroe


Chamber of Trade for this generous donation so soon after we launched the challenge.” The £3.2million Clitheroe Castle Heritage Scheme, spearheaded by Ribble Valley Borough

On their bikes for Christie’s


FOUR Ribble Valley men will be under­ taking a 100-miIe cycle ride on Sunday to support Christie’s. Estate agent Bill Honeywell, Rotarian


Richard Dugdale, Mearley veterinary sur­ geon Simon Sutcliffe and local resident Chris Sorrell will set off at 7-20 a.m. from Wythenshawe Park, Manchester, travelling through Knutsford, Northwich and Nantwich returning by Middlewich to Wythenshawe, along with at least 1,000 other riders. Mr Honeywell is no stranger to riding for


Christie’s, having already raised thousands of pounds, riding from Land’s End to John O’Croats and last year from Rotterdam to Lemvig in Denmark. Mr Dugdale has also done his share of long distance charity rid­ ing, having completed Land’s End to-John O’ Groats, the 'Three Towers ride - which goes to Paris and back, plus his recent ride of 2,100 miles from Rotterdam to Bergen. Last year the event raised more than


£60,000 for the hospital, the monies raised being used to fund cancer research and to provide specialist medical equipment for treatment of all types of cancer. Anyone wishing to sponsor the riders can


leave donations at Honeywell’s Estate Agents, Castle Street, or via Mr Dugdale at 53 Park Avenue, Clitheroe. Mr Dugdale says that payments can be made to the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale, who will then forward one cheque on to Christie’s. Sup­ porters can donate online by logging on to h ttp ://j ustgiving.com/clitheroebikers, where it will go straight to Christie’s.
