Hunter came in at number three and


although the home skipper even brought himself into the attack, the visitors got home with 10 overs to spare finish­ ing on 179 for two.

Money saving On a year's trial basis, churchwarden at Whalley Parish Church, Clifford Ball, and his wife, Kath, have offered to do some of the clean­ ing to save what they estimate could be £2,500 a year.


Writing in this month's Parish mag­ azine, Mr Ball says: “We might not do a good enough job or we might find our­ selves overstretched. The idea is to clean the church for one to two hours on a Mon­ day morning and for one hour on a Friday morning.


“The church will be open from 10 a.m. on both days.


“Do you think you could come along from time to time to help?


“Could this be your way of supporting the church. Have you any ideas for saving money?”


Charity boxes At one time there were a number of people in the parish of Whalley who had charity collecting boxes for the Chil­ dren's Society, which were emptied each year.


Anyone who has a box which has not been emptied for some time, or who would like a box, is asked to contact Jean Hudson on 01254 824481.
