A glorious day for out naturalists’ group
A DIVERSE range of birds such'as the raven, kestrel and grey wagtail and more than 40 different flowers were spotted on an outing to Airedale in West Yorkshire, by members of Clitheroe Naturalists. In glorious sunshine, the group of 23
started from Lower Bradley on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and emerged to the panoramic views from Swarth Hill over Elslack Moor, Lothersdale, and the curi ous towers known respectively as Cowling Pinnacle and Lunds Tower - or less for mally as the salt and pepper pot! Looking North the view continued through the Aire Gap to Skipton and beyond. The route went on through High Bradley to return to the canal at Low Snaygill. The next outing will be to Kentmere on

Club’s new venue
THE September meeting of the Inner Wheel Club of Ribblesdale was held at the new venue of the Spread Eagle at Sawley. After the meal an interesting talk
was given by a representative from the charity Shelter, who explained the work they did. A vote of thanks was given by Mrs Edna Clarkson. Chairman of the Overseas Commit
tee Mrs Muriel Ashcroft asked mem bers if they would fill Emergency Boxes once again, and secretary Mrs Janice Hurst told everyone that she had already knitted a woollen hat for each member to start off their box. Many members would have liked to have kept them to wear themselves! The president, Mrs Ann Senior,
announced that the next coffee morn ing would be at the home of Mrs Enid Field.
member, where and when lodges meet and how you join the organi sation. Those who took the oppor tunity were also shown the lodge room and met local members. Freemasonry has been part of
Clitheroe’s history for the past 185 years and members agreed to the open day as part of plans to be more open about what the society
does. At the open day the Freemasons
also presented cheques for just over £700 to four good causes - Pendle- side Hospice, the North West Air Ambulance, the Clitheroe Castle Heritage fund and masonic chari ties. A donation of £1,500 from Bar
clays Bank was boosted with the proceeds from a Masonic Ball held in June.
Probus speaker given full marks
MEMBERS of Probus enjoyed Tony Beckett’s visit when he chose “Markets” as his subject. He explained that the title cov
ered a multitude of activities and subjects - auction markets, black markets, country markets, emerg ing markets, European markets, supermarkets, market analysts, put something on the market - or take it off, market gardens, Mar ket Drayton, and many more. However, he confessed to knowing nothing about any of them! Discarding his experience past
and present as a police constable, an RAF medical orderly, furni ture and carpet retailer, borough councillor, magistrate, Rotarian, parish clerk and his involvement in local and national politics, he
asked the audience to reminisce with him about street markets and open markets, the best free show on earth. Starting with an early gimmick thought up by his father he put on a fez - to attract attention. After 45 minutes of both com
edy and information and ques tions from the audience, Probus member Raymond Clayson pro posed the vote of thanks. The next meeting is tomorrow,
when member Bob Hornby will present the second in his series “Bob and his keyboard”. Clitheroe and District Probus
