Ramsgreave and Wilpshire Station to L


Clitheroe. We walked from Clitheroe Station to the


main Castle entrance and there we became “Explorers and Detectives”, looking for clues as we set off on a trail which took us up and around the Castle Keep, through the rose garden, to the Ijandstand, tlie bowling green, the skateboard park, tlie volleyball pitch and led us to the maze. Having extricated ourselves from the


maze we ended up in the children’s play area, where we played and had a really good lime. We left reltictantly to go and find that familiar local land mark, the “Golden Arch-

deer with peanuts, horses with grass, while the sheep carried on munching and geese, peacocks, snakes and rabbits did whatever it is that they do. There was space for the children to run and jump, to cross streams and to explore, all out in the fresh air, which is the main reason they have come from


Kill years ago THE third annual fete and gala organ­


ised by tlie Billington and Whalley Indus­ trial Co-operative Society Ltd was a great success despite bad weather. Members from Barrow, Whalley, Wiswell, Billing­ ton and Langho, with their wives and children processed to Whalley Cricket Field where sports, games and Maypole dancing was enjoyed, along with refresh­ ments including coffee, pies and buns. 9 An advert offered a 60-day free trial


of the Evans Vacuum Cap for the “culture of hair”. It said that without the use of drugs or chemicals this practical invention would aid hair growth if only worn for three to four minutes per day. Anyone not seeing a gradual new growth of hair would be able to return the cap “at no expense”. 9 At the annual finance meeting of


Clitheroe Central FC players wages were given as £271 19s 4d and average gate receipts were £12 per match.

SINCE the appeal was made two


months ago for money to pay for a new face for the clock in the tower of St James’s Church, the Rector, the Rev. J.S. Parry, has received about £18. Of this amount, £10 came from a col­


lection on Sunday during the dedication of the Women’s Standard of the Clitheoe branch of the British Legion. The clock, believed to have been dam­


aged by stones fired from catapults, was repaired at a cost of £24. O Pupils of St James’s School gave a


concert on two evenings which raised £45 for church funds. Each class in the school contributed


some form of entertainment. ® Country and Maypole dancing by


the children of the village school was one of the highlights of Tosside’s annual vil­ lage festival and children’s sports held in bright sunshine.

ON May 27th, Christian Churches all over the world cel- ebraled the Feast of Pentecost, recalling how God's Holy Spirit came down on the apostles and disciples gathered in the "upper room" in Jerusalem. ’I'he event is recorded in the


second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. The results were dramatic - imme­ diately the apostles rushed out and started preaching about Jesus to tile crowds who were in Jerusalem at that time, crowds


a weekly look at local issues, people and places Children’s big ‘spacebo


Mogilev under the umbrella of the BLack- burn Group of the Friends of Chernobyl’s


Children. My point in writing this is to say that in


planning this day I liad experienced noth­ ing but helpfulness, at the railway station, at McDonalds, at Lords House Farm. And on the actual day there were friendly smiles and greetings every step of the way for out­ group of little seven-year-olds. So if you are looking for a good day out.


then there is plenty to see and do right here on our doorstep, for which the children would like to say “spacebo bolshoie!” (thank you very much). 9 Sheila Goodman is a member of


Friends of Chernobyl’s Children, Blackburn Group.


25 year.s ago VIOLENT thunderstorms in many


parts of the Ribble Valley brought flood­ ing - and criticism of motorists whose speed caused waves of water to flood into homes. Parts of Taylor Street, Bawdlands,


Whalley Road and Railway View Road, in Clitheroe, were among the areas most affected. Matters were made worse by the speed


of traffic. At the time, Mrs E. Whitham, of Railway View Road, said: “Drivers would not slow down and they sent waves crashing up to my house as they passed through the floodwater.” 9 Prospects of finding permanent jobs


for at least 150 school leavers in the Clitheroe area this summer looked gloomy. Rather than joining the dole queue, many of them were now opting for spells of six or 12 months on Government work experience programmes.


Open up the Spirit


who were there to celebrate the Jewish feast of Weeks. But do Christians expect the


Spirit to act in same dramatic way today? Most of them probably don't, but why shouldn’t he? Jesus Christ promised to be with his follow­ ers, his Church to the end of time: so shouldn’t the Spirit be always there as well? And there is no reason why the action of the Spirit should bo confined to one day in the year. It is certainly hard for us to


picture or to understand the nature of the Spirit. We can picture Christ, for he was a human being, but the Spirit is not so easy to categorise. But there are many Christians who would claim to have experi­ enced the Spirit directly, empowering them to go and do things which they would other­ wise never have thought of doing. Many Christians worry all


the time about how they stand with God - are they doing


right, does he approve of what they are doing? Other Chris­ tians are always asking God for things and often feel he does not answer their prayers. Per­ haps it would be better if each day each one of us asked the Lord for outpouring of the Spirit on ourselves for that day - I am sure that if we really opened ourselves to the Spirit, then dramatic things would happen.


PR JOE DUGGAN S,I I


formed in Clitheroe in the mid-1940s was held at


A


Clitheroe Cricket Club. Around 60 people attended,


the majority of which were for­ mer members of St Mary’s Youth Group, which was formed by the then vicar the Rev H. A. Bland. The event was organised by


former members Fred Johnson (75), his wife, Jean Johnson (nee Aldersley), Pat Cunning­ ham (nee Ellse) and Helen Waggett (nee Catlow). Mr Johnson, who lived in


REUNION for members of a youth group that was


Clitheroe for 30 years, but now lives in Houghton, said former members of the youth group travelled from far and wide to attend the reunion. He said: “The youth group


was great fun and provided us with somewhere to go every night of the week.” Entertainment at the youth


group included numerous games such as table tennis and snooker and activities such as amateur dramatics and danc­


ing. “We used to run it along the


same lines as Parliament. We had a prime minister and a minister for transport. It cer­


tainly got you thinking about politics doing it that way,” Mr Johnson added. The group also used to meet


up every Sunday evening at St Mary’s Church where during the winter time they would enjoy talks from local speakers and in the summer time walks in the local countryside. When the Rev. Stanley


Birtwell later took over he introduced holidays for the group, the first of which was a week-long trip to Castleton in Derbyshire. The youth group eventually


became the 55 Society, so named because it was formed


in 1955. This later disbanded, but members of the original youth group have been so keen to keep in touch th a t this year’s reunion was the fourth of its kind. Organisers are hoping to hold another in the next three


to four years. Mr Johnson, who explained


that only maiden names are used at reunions, added that it was great to see so many old faces. Our picture shows a reunion


for former members of St Mary’s Youth Group at Clitheroe Cricket Club. (T060507/9)


pMichael’s marathon effort for


a charity close to their heart. Sabden couple Michael and


A


Christine Fielding have raised £2,200 for the Meningitis Trust by running in the Lon­ don Marathon and swimming 5,000m respectively. Michael’s son Andrew (23)


survived a serious form of meningitis when he was four and the couple have been rais­ ing funds for the charity for the last few years. Michael (55), who works


for Ultraframe in Clitheroe, said: “This was my third Lon-


HUSBAND and wife pitted their physical wits to raise money for


don Marathon, but i t was probably the hardest because of the heat. I completed it in four hours and 40 minutes, but people were dropping like flies. “At some stretches of the


race there was just no air, but I ’m glad I did it. W'e nearly lost Andrew when he was a child but thankfully he came through unscathed.” Christine (51), who works


as a senior radiographer at Burnley General Hospital, swam 200 lengths at Ribbles- dale Pool, Clitheroe. Both are planning to repeat their feats next year.
