www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk Hall is host to Bond night


T H E owners of Browsholme H a ll, R o b ert and Amanda Parker, invited 100 guests of the Friends of Thorney- holme School in Dunsop Bridge into th e i r h om e for a “ C a s in o R o y a le ” fund-raising event. Brovvsholme Hall celebrates its 500th


anniversary this year and is the ancestral home of the Parker Family, Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland. •It is now the oldest surviving family


home in Lancashire and proved to be the perfect backdrop to the Bond-themed event. The organisers, pictured in their finery,


worked tirelessly to plan, co-ordinate, gain support and run the event on the night and


raised a wonderful £1,600 towards school funds. The Friends group is supporting one of


the main organisers of the event, Joanne Brown, of Barclays Bank, in her applica­ tion for match funding for up to £750. Over th e p a s t five years, Barclays


employees have raised £54m. for their favourite charities with the help of the bank’s matched funding scheme. More than 33,000 Barclays staff have been involved in fund-raising or volunteering in their communities. The Friends group is hoping to be successful in its application for funding, which will directly benefit the chil­ dren a t the school and the local community of Dunsop Bridge.


Lots of interest for walkers


FIFTEEN Clitheroe Ramblers, led by Jane Donnelly, set off on a linear walk from Wilpshire to Clitheroe using train and bus services to reach their starting point. The route followed footpaths to

ley the route went past the Abbey, where the Abbey Gatehouse provided shelter for the lunch break. The route went under the splendid railway arch­ es and skirted around Calderstones to cross Mitton Road. The next section of footpath was on


the course of the Roman road and passed the base of an old cross. The path joins the road at Peggy Hill and then follows the river to Edisford and back to Clitheroe. The walk was full of interest and


followed the Ramblers’ guidelines of making more use of public transport when planning walks.


Guest presents a life in pictures


A LIFE in pictures was conveyed to fellow members of Ribblesdale Cam­ era Club when Graham Dudley pre­ sented his il lu s tra ted ta lk , “Old Prints”. I t was a photographic autobiogra­


phy, from Graham’s early pictures at age 11 using his mother’s Box Brown­ ie to his current inkjet prints taken on a modern Nikon digital camera. Starting with landscapes in black


and white, there was a progression to colour prints on Cibachrome, then to sta te -o f -th e -a rt digital. Travel to Leningrad and Moscow gave some good pictures and heart-stopping moments in pre-glasnost Russia. A move with his job to Clitheroe in


1985 stimulated his photography and many of his early record photographs have a historical significance which some of today’s pieces of graphic art,


THE Clitheroe and District Masonic Fellowship AGM was attended by 49 members w ith President Derek Thornhill conducting the event. Most of the committee was re-elect­


ed with th e exception of Mrs J. Nicholson, who wished to stand down. She was thanked by the chairman, P.


roughly based on p h o to g rap h ic images, can never give. Further travelling, to the west of


America and Honolulu, brought more photographic opportunities, but his favourite photographs remain his pic­ torial - and historical - pictures of Pendle and Clitheroe Castle. A workshop on portraiture was also


held by the club, putting into practice the advice given by the professional portrait photographer lecturer th e previous week. The club’s annual exhibition on the


top floor of Clitheroe Library runs through November and may possibly be extended to the end of the year. Information about the club, which


meets each Tuesday at West Bradford Village Hall, can be obtained from its


chairman John Bradley on 01254 822921.

Being young


is the best! JESSAMY Britcliffe is one of the monthly win­ ners of our Relay Read­ er award. She reviewed Karen


McCombie’s “ Indie Kidd - Being grown up is cool!!! (Not)”. Jessamy thought the


book was “very, very good” because the author “described every­ th in g very well.” She particularly liked the big pictures, especially the ones of the animals. Describing the novel


Jessamy wrote: “The story is about a


young 10-year-old girl named In d ie Kidd. Indie has a nine-year-old brother. He is very intel­ ligent! In d ie Kidd is jealous of her b rother sometimes when he tries to show off ab o u t how good he is a t spelling Mississippi or how good he is a t his times tables! “Indie also has a lot of


pets. She has three dogs a cat called Smudge (she is always sleeping), five goldfish and an angelfish who is very shy.”

The toys are rolling in!


by Natalie Cox


THE toys are rolling in! Within hours of the launch of this year’s annual


appeal, generous readers arrived at our office with what we hope will be the first of many bags of brand new toys. I t is the fourth year the Clitheroe Advertiser and


Times has joined forces with the Salvation Army for our annual Toy Appeal. Since 2004 we have helped hundreds of children across the Ribble Valley. Once again we want to provide new toys, books,


games and other gifts for children of all ages, from tots to teens. In previous years Capt. Elizabeth Smith and Lt


Brenda Wise, of Clitheroe’s Salvation Army, have been amazed by generosity shown by Advertiser readers. Capt. Smith said: “Last year people who donated


toys to the appeal had p u t a lot of thought into them.” She added: “The community spirit in Clitheroe is


very evident and we do not want to lose that. This appeal helps us all focus on those in our community who are struggling. I t helps strengthen community ties and help us all become more like one big family reaching out to each other. “That is what Christmas is all about. I believe the


Toy Appeal upgrades the true ethos of Christmas - the giving and sharing and not just the taking.” Toys and gifts can be taken to one of


two collection points, the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser office in King Street or the Salvation Army shop in Lowergate. This year Capt. Smith is also keen to


hear directly from families who may be in need of help particularly a t this time of year. Names and contact details can be left at the Salvation Army shop in Lower- gate or a t the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office in King Street. You can also e-mail details to natalie.cox@eastlanc- snews.co.uk or text Capt. Smith on 0770 9351394. • As well as hosting a Christmas Day


lunch for anyone who would otherwise be alone on December 25th, the Salvation Army is also on the lookout for volunteers to help transport people to and from the venue in Lowergate and to help serve the meal. Said Capt. Smith: “We are always


grateful for all the help we get particularly at this time of year. There are a lot of peo­ ple out there doing th eir bit for others without a fuss.” Anyone wanting to enjoy the festive


lunch, or volunteering their services in any capacity needs to make sure the Sal­ vation Army has their name and contact details. •F o r more details ab out this year’s


appeal visit our website on: www.ciitheroeadvertiser.co.uk.
