“THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE”, performed by Ribchester Amateur Theatrical Society (RATS)


THERE is a calendar of events in Ribchester you can set your watch by. Two are the RATS Pan­ tomime in February and the Field Day in June. By a sleight of hand


Chris Freeman, who wrote this marvellous script and the original lyrics, brought both these events together to delight and entertain the local audiences in seven per­ formances in February. Posters around Ribch­


ester proclaimed that this- was a “traditional pan­ tomime” and indeed The Sorcerer’s Apprentice met ail the criteria and then added a few more. Instead of just one Dame, we were treated to four manifesta­ tions of “Bertha Bunn” (played in various guises by Rob Hindle, Bryony Frost, Keith Flood, Robin Simmons and Tam Dibley). We had a kindly wizard


(Mick Flynn) and a wicked witch (Sue Cron- shaw); we had a principal boy and girl (Rachel Rud­


dock and Helen Charlesworth); a commu­ nicative cat (Mary Mori- arty); a dopey, love-struck boy (Will 'Thomas): a very naughty apprentice with a (well hidden) good side (Laura Frost); a com­ edy duo (John Royle and Dave McGarry) and a splendid young chorus (Hannah Williams, Nora Moriarty, Gabby Mori- aty, James Watts, Emily Watts,


George Charlesworth, Lottie


Fendall, Jonathan Walter, Emma Walter, Rachael Dickinson and Isobel Austin) - every possible ingredient for success. What the players also


managed to do was to perform two types of pan­ tomime. The matinee per­ formances were appropri­ ate to younger audiences and the last night per­ formance, played to a full house comprising mostly adults, was a rollicking, hilarious, energetic.

MANAGEMENT UNDER NEW


scripted and ad-libbed knockabout comedy. Everyone is to be praised for his and her contribu­ tion to this team effort. Produced by Dave


Proctor and directed by Keith Flood, this was a lively and entertaining, show which showcased the young talent of Ribchester and drew on the considerable strengths of the regulars of the soci­ ety. This annual event requires real team-work.


Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, March 8th, 2007 23


Mountain expert will


be guest HIMALAYAN guru Tom Robinson, pictured, is the special guest a t next Thursday’s (March 15th) meeting of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club. Tom, who features in


the March edition of “Climb” magazine, will present a slide show enti­ tled “Altitude Addiction - Getting High on Moun­ tains”. Since 1979 he has taken


part in 55 expeditions to different p a r ts of the Himalayas, eight of which have been to 8,000m. peaks, including one to Everest when he was th e leader of the Karrimor Everest North Ridge 2005 expedition. This impressive aver­


from all the players, stage crew, director, production staff, front-of-house and bar staff, costume mak­ ers, make-up team, set designers and all. That everyone gives their time so freely and with such enthusiasm is a testament to the society, and will ensure that we, in Ribch­ ester, will be able to con­ tinue to set our watches to the annual event calen­ dar for some years to come.


t).G.


age of two trips per year for the past 28 years is partly attributable to the fact that he lived for peri­ ods of time in Bangladesh and Beijing and partly due to having worked for OTT Expeditions and Karakoram Experience. Tom has lived in Sheffield since 1983 and has climbed with many of the mountaineering world’s household names, includ­ ing A1 Rouse, Joe Simp­ son and Andy Cave. If you are thinking of a tr ip to the Himalayas


and fancy a quick tour around v ir tu a l ly the whole range in an hour- and-a-half, the club wel­ comes members and non­ members alike. The venue for the


club’s indoor meets - held on the third Thursday of each month - is Clitheroe Cricket Club, on Chat- burn Road. The bar is open from around 7.40 p.m. for a start at 8 p.m. Contributions of £4 on the door will be most wel-
