FOLLOWING a very wet growing season there was much concern about whether this year’s Clitheroe Garden Club show would be a sucess, but entries were much the same as usual. In addition to the plants, fruit

and flowers, there were also photo­ graphs, cookery and handicrafts to add to the spectacle. Twenty-one youngsters had


proudly brought in their exhibits of flowers, handicrafts and photogra­ phy. The section also included two tables full of coleus plants grown for the 2007 Children’s Challenge. At 10-30 a.m. the competitors


departed St James’s School as the judges made their deliberations. Once judging was over visitors


were let in. For the third consecu­ tive year admission was free, and by 2 p.m. the hall was buzzing with spectators. Prior to th e prizegiving, club


chairman Mr Bill Gregson announced two new trophies for 2007, both in memory of garden club members. A glass paperweight in memory


of founder member Cissy Sainsbury was presented by her son and daughter, together with a garden seat for the club allotment. A silver rosebowl, given originally anony­ mously by the late Ernest Man­ ning, has now been engraved in his memory. Mr Gregson thanked the school’s


headteacher and governors for their help, and those who had helped run the show, the competitors, judges and supporters. The 26 trophies were presented


by Mrs Kershaw and donated exhibits were later auctioned, with the money being given to the school towards festive activities. Our picture shows winners with their trophies, (s)

Bill’s happy memories


IN this centenary year of Scouting, m an y former members of Scouts and Guides have been reliving their time in the organisa­ tion. Bill Taylor, of Clitheroe,


brought th is picture into the office which shows the reformed Loyola Scouts attached to St Michael and St Jo h n ’s RC Church in 1950. Mr Taylor’s father, also


William, had been a mem­ ber of th e Scout troop towards th e end of the First World War. The troop


disbanded in the 1930s. Mr Turner is pictured, fourth from the right, slightly in front of the back row wear­ ing a dark shirt. His brother, Michael,


who now lives in Kent, is pictured on the left of the front row. Scout Leader was Mr.


Bill Crompton who lived in Park Avenue, Clitheroe, and who is also pictured. Mr Taylor, a long-time


member of Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, recalls th a t the


troop was reformed in 1947 a f te r he and his friends pestered Mr Crompton to s ta r t it up again. He has happy memories of the many concerts and shows performed and says that it certainly inspired him to continue with his love of the stage. In 1950, th e Scouts


joined Catholic Scouts in a pilgrimage to Rome prior to spending two weeks at the in te rn a t io n a l Scout centre a t Kandersteg in Switzerland, (s)

Rebels to reunite!


A REUNION is planned for a group of local youngsters and th e i r associates who, in th e 1960s, were known as th e Wiswell Rebels. Young horse r id e rs in


Wiswell and Pendleton area were encouraged to get togeth­ er and hold events and enter gymkhanas by Mrs Marion Sycamore, herself a keen horse­ woman, and she was the one who christened them Wiswell Rebels. Events were held a t Stocks Hill Farm, Wiswell, the home of Mr and Mrs Robin­ son, where Mrs Sycamore instructed her young pupils in the skills of riding and show jumping. Anyone living in the villages


of Wiswell and Pendleton is welcome a t the reunion which will be held in Pendleton Vil­ lage Hall on Saturday, Novem­ ber 17th, a t 7-30 p.m. There will be a guest speaker, a pho­ to g rap h display an d an old cine film show, copies of which


have been put on DVD avail­ able. to purchase on the night. If anyone has any old photo­ graphs of the Wiswell Rebels these can be taken along on the night also. Tickets are £5, including


refreshments, but bring your own dr inks, from Mrs Sycamore on 01254 822993. All the cups and tro p h ie s


won by the young riders were donated by villagers to.Mrs Robinson who took them to Australia where she set-up a sister branch of the Wiswell Rebels in Albany Western Australia, which is still in exis­ tence. Among those pictured, prob­


ably in 1964, are from the left Gilly Farthing (nee Robinson), standing next to her fs Janet Horne, Jo an P a rk e r (nee Bolton), Miles Slinger, who still lives locally, four children from the Moran family, Karen Maloney and Mrs Sycamore on the right, (s)
