THE new exhibition at the Platform Gallery features work by two ceramic artists. The joint exhibition entitled “Corners and


Curves” displays Rebecca Catterall’s sculp­ tural forms and Helen Felcey’s sensuous, fine­ ly cast bone china objects. Both artists have developed their own

A FORMER Clitheroe Grammar School pupil who has worked in China’s “Porcelain City" is to exhibit her ceramics at the Platform Gallery, Clitheroe. An exhibition called


Corners and Curves fea­ turing the work of 27- year-old Helen Felcey has opened at the Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council-run gallery in Station Road. Helen grew up in Whal­

Last year, Helen undertook a prestigious two-month residency in Jingpezhen, which is the centre of China’s ceramics industry and known as Porcelain City. Helen, who will exhibit

Fancy being King of the Castle?


IF you fancy being “King of the Castle” and you are proficient with a skate­ board, Clitheroe skatepark is hosting more exciting summer events this year, the first one being on Sunday, July


22nd. I t is a skateboarders’ event


and a number of major skate labels including globe, vans, independent, and enuff skateboards are sponsoring the event with lots prizes and


goodies! Relentless energy drink


has also provided £150 cash prizes for the sponsored sec­


tion. The park will open to the


public at 11 a.m. and events will be running from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. with free entry and music provided by local skaters. As long as the weath­ er is good, it should prove to


be a great day! The second big day for the


summer will be the in-line skaters event on August


25th, as part of Clitheroe's Bank Holiday weekend in the Castle grounds. Last year’s in-line day was a huge success and once again UICSKATE will be the main sponsors, providing loads of prizes and goodies along with a great team of in-line skaters to show off their


skills. Last year attracted some


of the best in-line skaters from around the country. Due to popular demand,


the children’s (five to 10 year- olds) skate sessions will take place throughout the six week summer holiday. Last year saw a good num­


ber of youngsters learning to skate for the first time, along with their parents! It's a great opportunity to


spend some time as a family learning together and encouraging each other in an all round new experience. The days/dates have not


yet been decided. Informa­ tion will be available soon.


“OCEANS 13” (Ce ri PG); screenings on July 16th, 18th and 19th a t 7-30 p.m. at Stage & Screen @ St Mary’s Centre, Church S tre e t , Clitheroe.


WHAT are the odds of getting even? Danny Ocean (George


Clooney) and the gang would have only one rea­ son to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist - to defend one of their own. But they’re going to


need more than luck on their side to break The Bank. Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al


Pacino) never imagined that the odds were against him when he double- crossed Danny Ocean’s friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliot Gould), but he reckoned without Ocean and his team. Directed by Stephen


Soderbergh, this is Clooney’s third outing as Danny Ocean and, according to many critics, his most enjoyable yet.

Farm hosts charity clay shootday


THE third fund-raising clay pigeon shoot lakes place at Huntroyde Home Farm in Simonstonc


on July 22nd. Award w inning local charily Ribble Valley


and White Rose Ladies are to benefit from the event which starts at noon and is for the whole


family. Nicholas Starkie explains “It’s not just about


clay pigeon shooting, we’ll have all sorts of activities going on throughout the day such as games including ‘welly wanging’ and pinball, a barbecue, licensed bar and an air rifle range.” No prior experience of shooting is necessary


and the event is suitable for children over the age of eight, with 10 year-olds and over able to participate in the clay pigeon shooting and novices, young or old, invited to learn about this


growing sport. The Ribble Valley and White Rose Ladies


recently won an award from Cancer Research UK for their outstanding fund-raising achieve­ ment. Joint chairman Irene Chenery said that the event is becoming on of the most popular of the year. “It’s a great introduction to the sport of clay


pigeon shooting and all the money raised goes towards our vital work in raising for funds for research into children’s cancers.”


Living with Romans


A NEW fascinating exhibition about how life was like for British people living under Roman rule is being displayed a t the Museum of Lancashire in Preston until December 21st. We all know what a Roman legionary


looked like. Many of us have visited a Roman fort or villa at some point. But what about the people who were con­ quered by the Romans? “Living with the Romans” is a touring


exhibition from National Museums Liv­ erpool supported by its Partners in Art Scheme which presents the untold story of life in Roman Britain. The new exhibition pulls together


much of the information uncovered to date featuring more than 200 Roman


YOUNGSTERS in Ribble Valley are being invited to take part in the latest sports craze to sweep the country. Ribble Valley Borough Council is host­


ing “High 5” sessions in Clitheroe and Longridge throughout August. “High 5” netball is similar to five-a-side football, with players rotating positions every five or 10 minutes. The sessions will take place at the all-weather pitches in Edisford Road, Clitheroe, from 10 a.m. to noon on July 27th, August 3rd and 10th, and at


items from the national collection and Lancashire County Council Museum’s collection - many of which have rarely been on display before. John McGoldrick, curator of social his­


tory at the Museum of Lancashire for Lancashire County Council, said: “At the height of the Roman Empire, the North West was one of the furthest outposts. Much has been discovered about how people lived in and around Roman forts, but until now little has been known about life in the countryside.” For more information, visit the Lan­


cashire Museums website at www.lanc- smuseums.gov.uk or contact the Museum of Lancashire on 01772 534075.


Try your hand at a High 5 session


Longridge Sports Centre from 1 to 3 p.m. on August 17th, 24th and 31st. The council is also hosting summer net-


ball camps. A three-day camp will take place at the all-weather pitches in Edisford Road, Clitheroe, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., July 24th to 26th, and at Longridge Sports Centre from 1 to 4 p.m., August 14th to 16th. Booking is necessary. Further details and bookings are avail­


able from the council’s sports development officer, Kay Gibson, on 01200 414484.
