FRIENDS of Chernobyl Children, left, prepare to embark on their Easter egg treasure hunt event ut Clitheroc Castle (T070in7/l(l)


THE Friends’ raffle ■ FEISBS O by Duncan Smith


EGGSTRAORDINARY scenes were wit­ nessed in Clitheroe as the Castle grounds were overrun with treasure hunters on Easter Saturday. A second “Easter Egg Treasure Hunt”,


organised by the Friend’s of Chernobyl’s Children, Clitheroe Branch, proved a spec­ tacular success. Almost 500 children took part with their families, raising £1,175 for the charity group. The event is so popular that it is now confirmned as an annual fix­ ture, so if you missed it this year, don’t make the same mistake next year! 'One father at Saturday’s treasure hunt


commented: “It is the best £1.50 I ’ve ever spent on a full fun-packed day and I ’m looking forward to coming back next year.” Special thanks go to Boots and Sains-


burys in Clitheroe, who each donated Easter eggs, and to event sponsor Web Dynamics.


F O f i i e i B ® i a e All the money raised will be used to sup­


port a visit to Clitheroe by children from Belarus this summer. It costs the charity £550 per child to support their visit, which has life-prolonging health benefits to the youngsters affected by the nuclear fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The Friends of Chernobyl’s Children charity is hoping to raise enough money to support 20 children this year. Louise Barrett, one of the charity’s


workers, commented: “The charity is run completely by volunteers and we have a tough job on our hands to raise enough money to support these children, but it is worth all the hard work as these children really do need our help. “If you would like to help us raise


money to help support these children, we are holding a street collection in Clitheroe town centre on Saturday, April 21st, and would welcome any help collecting. If you can spare an hour, please call Heather on 01200 429112.”


SPEAKERS from clubs in Clitheroe and Craven united for a joint meeting. Fifteen visitors were welcomed to the


Young Farmers’ Club at the Auction Mart site in Clitheroe by their Ribble Valley hosts. - After the business part of the meeting,


the speeches got under way with a first­ time speech from Clitheroe new member Shirley Addy. She entertained with a witty and humorous reading. Experienced Craven speaker Eileen


Ward followed, taking the audience on a heart-searching debate on why should she take up any work offered now that she has joined the retired ranks. I t appeared she had plenty to do with


her welcomed time at home without hav­ ing to think of seeking work again.


OPINION was divided when members of Ribblesdale Camera Club viewed this year’s “London Salon” pictures. Some like the avant-garde images and


find them challengin inspiring... but some don’t. Certainly the work of the very cream of British and invited over­ seas photographers was well worth


viewing. Next week, on April 17th, Derry


Speakers welcome Craven guests For the topics session which followed,


chairman for the night Ian Green asked members of both clubs to speak for three minutes on the chosen subject - the sens­ es. The winner on the night was veteran Clitheroe member Marie Rostron. The coffee and biscuit interval was


extended by the evening’s chairman Den­ nis Ogden to allow more social time. Evaluations of the meeting, speeches


and the topic contest brought the meet­ ing to a close before the Craven members took their leave in the knowledge that a good time had been had by all. 0 Future meetings of the Clitheroe


club will be held on April 16th and May 14th. For further information about the club contact Dennis Ogden on 01200 427870 or Ron Loebell on 01200 428488.
