C.itheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burn.ey 422331 (C.assitied) Children celebrate national poetry day in style


NATIONAL poetry day was celebrated by pupils at Clitheroe’s Pendle Primary School. In fact children at the Princess Avenue school


devoted an entire week to all things literary. Janet Kerr, from the Schools’ Library Service,


shared “book snacks” with pupils on one day. She brought in newly released fiction and non-


fiction titles to show them what is available through school library loans and in local libraries. • • Children in Year 6 at the school are involved


in “The Fantastic Book Awards”, an initiative led by the Schools’ Library Service, in conjunc­ tion with Pendle teacher Mr Richard Water-


house. Pupils read and review newly published books and at the end of the school year they take part in a vote to find which has proved the most


popular. Youngsters will then have the opportunity to


write to the author and pass on their congratula­ tions.


Poppy Appeal crucial for victims of conflict


THE 2007 Poppy Appeal comes at a crucial time for the Royal British Legion. This year once again, events in


Iraq and Afghanistan have shown us the very high human cost of conflict, and it is clear that that the work of The Royal British Legion is needed now more than ever. The annual

A HONEYMOON in Mauritius followed the wedding of Miss Marie-Louise Fagan and Mr Lee Burman. The director of a public relations con­


sultancy, the bride is the daughter of Mr and Mrs J. Fagan, of Stirling Close, Clitheroe. Her bridegroom, a collateral manager


in London, is the son of Mr and Mrs R. Burman, of London. Given away by her father, the bride


wore a white silk organza gown, hand­ made in Barcelona, with a full train and beaded bodice. Her bouquet was a trail­ ing design with blue gentians, orchids, calla lilies and white roses. Bridesmaids Donna McManus and


Carolyn Small wore gentian blue silk strapless dresses with full skirts and car­ ried hand-tied bouquets of blue gentians, calla lilies and white roses. Flowergirl Bethany Parkin wore a


white dress and carried a basket of blue gentians and white roses. Best man was the bridegroom’s broth­


er, Mr Bradley Burman. The bride’s brothers Tim and John-


Paul Fagan, were the groomsmen. The couple, who will live in London,


were married at St Michael and St John’s RC Church by Fr J. Duggan. They held a reception at the Shirebum


Arms Hotel in Hurst Green. Picture by Zoie Carter-Ingham,

Book a donation before Christmas


BLOOD donors, both regular and new, are being urged to attend sessions at West Bradford Village Hall this month. They take place tomorrow (Novem­


ber 9th) and again on Friday Novem­ ber 30th, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 5-30 to 7- 30 p.m. on both days. In recent months, blood stocks have


been below the normal level for the time of year, so the National Blood Service (NBS) is appealing for people to give blood and help ensure stocks are healthy in the run-up to Christmas. Rachel Hollingworth, communica­


tions officer for the NBS, said: “Although at present blood stocks are reasonably healthy and we are meeting the demand from hospitals, it is impor­ tant that more donors come forward over the next few weeks. December is always a challenging time for us because the festive season is so busy, and many people struggle to find time to donate.” To make an appointment to give


blood, or for more information about becoming a blood donor, contact the donor helpline on 0845 7711711. Infor­ mation can also be found online at: www.blood.co.uk


Thank you to supporters


A RECEPTION for supporters of Rib- ble Valley Crossroads proved to be a huge success. The event saw the launch of the idea of


a “Friends of Ribble Valley Crossroads” group. The initial reaction appeared to indicate that the support group could become a reality in the new year. Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Doreen


Taylor and Lady Clitheroe, president of Ribble Valley Grossroads, hosted the reception in Ribble Valley Council Chambers. The event was generously sponsored and thanks were expressed to those who had donated towards the cost of the supper and the anonymous donor of wine for the occasion. Chairman Tom Maclean thanked all


those present, explaining that Crossroads enables people to live in their own homes and not to have to go into nursing homes. Those caring for people who had become sick, old or disabled and who could not be left alone regarded Crossroads as a life­ line. Long-term carers who often suffer from a feeling of being “trapped” in their own homes were given a valuable break from their daily routine via the charity. Anyone wanting to find out more


about Crossroads can email: rveross- roads:onetel.com or contact the local group on 01200 422104. Pictured are individuals and represen­


tatives of organisations who have sup­ ported Crossroads in the Ribble Valley during the reception. (T311007/2)


Pearls of wisdom


MEMBERS of the Clitheroe Lady Farmers' NFU social section were entertained with pearls of wisdom when Mrs Angela Rhodes took pearls galore to their meeting. On displays were pearls of all shapes and


sizes, including necklaces, earrings and bracelets. She gave an interesting talk about pearls through the ages, from Elizabeth I to the pearls worn today. Button tooth and egg pearls were, she said, freshwater pearls, whereas the cultured pearls came in all shapes and sizes. Members were reminded that perfume and


hairspray damage all pearls. Mrs Ruth Coar thanked Mrs Rhodes and members pur­ chased some of the displayed items. The next meeting is the AGM and Christmas party on December 3rd a t the Calf’s Head, Worston.


Welcome to our exciting world for


fine finishes and superior service SATURDAY, November 11th, sees the opening of Wall and Floor Design Centre at Brownhill, Blackburn. This new design studio’s special open day from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. showcases the very latest wall and floor finishes. Business manager Adrian Ingram says that his


ADVERTISING FEATURE


business has a unique offer. He said: “Traditional interior designers offer a different type of interior design from us, usually mood boards and soft furnishing ideas along with furniture etc. Our interior design service deals with design solutions for the 'shell' of the room rather than its con­


tents.” These ideas cater for all wall and floor cover­


ings in every room of the home. Choices include Amtico, solid wood, limestone, granite, marble, porcelain, ceramics, glass, terracotta and mosaics to mention but a few. The Wall and Floor Design Centre is also an agent for Fired Earth, a compa­ ny offering an extraordinary range of paint and


other finishes. “We know we have the greatest choice of


products in our locality and we offer a design and installation service for each and every one of them”, said Mr Ingram. “Our team enjoy their


work, we employ excellent creative people and installers who care about the end result. “Because we handle design and installation in


house our customers are not passed from A to B. This is unusual and gives us a real edge; our serv­ ice is very personal indeed. We like it this way and I know our customers appreciate it. Our installers also share the same attention to detail.” He added "Our design work is carried out free


of charge. If our customers wish, we visit them in their homes to complete a list of their require­ ments. Our slogan, ‘For fine finishes’ is intended to convey a sense of something special for any room. We talk to people who have bought houses or had homes built but have run out of ideas when staring at bare plaster and bare floor­ boards. Our solutions bring their homes to life.” To commission Mr Ingram and his team at-


Wall and Floor Design Centre call in to the- ishowroom at Brownhill, Blackburn or call 01254 244344 and arrange a free home consultation.

Technology used to successful effect


BACKED by the latest tech­ nology - a chronometer, trav­ elling in the latest type of vehicle - a wooden sailing ship, under the command of Captain James King (born in Clitheroe) outwitted the French and Spanish navies and successfully “out-navi­ gated” them to escort a mer­ chant convoy to safety. Thus the speaker, Mr Steve


Ragnall, brought to life the good Captain King as he recounted the many exploits in the life of the 18th Century Clitheronian when he spoke to Clitheroe and D is tr ic t Probus Club. Mr Ragnall was responsi­


ble for the blue plaque which can be seen on the wall of the Yorkshire Bank to mark the birthplace of Captain King. Himself a Clitheronian born and bred, the speaker


lives a varied life. He decided after 25 years in banking that his occupation was getting in the way of living. An experi­ enced yachtsman, he has sailed aboard several Tall Ships, is a “guest lecturer” to the cruise industry, has writ­ ten, produced and directed small theatre shows as well as worked on the BBC “Telling Lives” programme. This multi-faceted back­


ground enabled him to pres­ ent a fascinating and detailed account of the sea-faring life of Captain King. I llustrated with digital


slides of paintings of the characters and scenes of the times Mr Ragnall’s account was truly riveting - empha­ sised a t the end by Probus member Alan Daniels in his vote of thanks.


Read bowlers are the champions Captain Henry Duerden


CROWN green bowlers from Read are champions of their division - in only the club’s third year. Read Bowling Club, which


plays at Read Cricket Club, are now champions of the Hyndburn and Dis tr ic t Bowling League Fourth Divi­ sion, and are celebrating pro­ motion.


said: “Everyone is really happy at gaining promotion and is looking forward to the new season. We have a squad of about 20 players who have all contributed. In our first season we finished second bottom, and last year we were third from top so we have been progressing well.”
