Modern art A NEW exhibition of con- temporary a r t opens today at Ascot Studios, in Ribchester. The Ribble Valley


gallery specialises in con­ temporary art in various media and throughout the year will be showcasing the work of emerging a r t is ts in a regularly changing programme of exhibitions. More infor­ mation is available at the gallery’s website on www.ascotstudios.com or by calling 01254 878100.


Later in the evening, members of


the society danced the Scottish country dance “Clitheroe Castle”. ATC cadets provided an escort


for the haggis, which was piped in and addressed by Stanley Stuart. After dinner and the “Loyal


Toast”, the “Toast to the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns” was pro­ posed by Ian Ross. The “Toast to the Lasses” was


proposed by Ted Carter and replied to by Mona Hilton. The toastmaster for the evening


was Allan Sowerbutts. The assem­ bled company then enjoyed a pro­ gramme of Scottish dancing, with callers Isobe! Bristow and Margaret Allan, the society’s two dance teachers. Music was provided by Malcolm


Milner and the Hoghton Scottish Country Dance Band. Our picture shows Eddie Drum­


mond, the president of the Cale­ donian Society, handing over a cheque to the High Sheriff. (T280107/15)


Annual fair cancelled


AFTER long delibera­ tions, the organisers of the popular spring garden, plant, craft fair and farm­ ers’ market held at Brow- sholme Hall, have reluc­ tantly decided not to hold the festival this year. This, they say, is due to the usual date, the third


YOUNG Wall Street bro­ ker, Billy Crocker, stows away on the S.S. American in hopes of winning the heart of his beloved, Hope Harcourt. She is on her way to Eng­


land to be married to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, a stuffy, hapless British nobleman. Stowing away with Billy’


are “Moonface” Martin, a gangster labelled “Public Enemy Number 13” and disguised as a clergyman, with his friend, Bonnie.. Moonface has disguised himself as a reverend after leaving the ship’s real vicar back at the port. On board, Crocker runs


into his friend, nightclub singer Reno Sweeney, who resolves to help Billy win


Sunday in May, being com­ promised by another event


■ in Clitheroe and, although the following Sunday was considered, it has not been possible to obtain suffi­ cient support from exhibitors a t th a t Bank Holiday to make it a viable proposition.


Tickets on sale for musical


over Hope. Billy learns the true identity of Moonface, who joins the plot to break up Hope and Evelyn. As the plot thickens, Hope, Eve­ lyn, Billy, and Reno all end up in a variety of compro­ mising positions with mem­ bers of the opposite sex. So the scene is set for


“Anything Goes”, the Cole Porter classic being stage by Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and dra­ matic Society. It runs from February 10th to 17th at the -St Mary’s Centre, Clitheroe, with tickets avail- abe from the centre on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10-30 to 11-30 a.m. Alternatively, call the ticket hotline on 01200 424545.

Prove you have a heart of gold with a special bouquet


HERE is a competition which will be “heart” to beat. This heart-warming


story comes courtesy of Clitheroe’s Floral Basket. Dominating the win­


dow of the family-run business in King Street is a 5ft heart made entirely of red balloons. I t took balloon artist


Donna McDonald two- and-a-half hours to inflate them and create the shape. And now she wants to


give i t away and help raise funds for charity in the process. Donna, who works at


the shop with her mum, Kathleen, and dad, Peter, said: “As well as the usual dozen red roses we deliver at Valentine’s Day, we are now delivering more and more balloon bouquets. I thought how fantastic it would be to open your door to a five foot balloon heart. Then I came up with the idea of raising much-needed funds for the British Heart Foun­ dation and giving the heart away as the prize.”


A'uction


Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, February 1st, 2007 19 '


To win her special


heart in time for Valen­ tine’s Day, all you have to do is guess how many balloons it contains. Every competition


entry must be accompa­ nied by a donation which will be given to the


British Heart Founda­ tion and entry forms are available from the shop - 23 King Street. Our photograph shows


Kathleen McDonald with the 5ft heart of bal­ loons.
