Caledonian group’s fun weekend of


Berosford, had hoped to raise some money for school funds by fining children lOp every time they said “Miss Holding”, but the children have been too sharp.


Bulbs planted by the children at the front of the school and in the environmental area have done well and been much admired and the school garden has been prepared for planting. Great interest has been shown in a family of ducklings nesting outside Mrs Under­ wood’s class.


The after school serv­ ice is held in the parish church every Thursday at 3-45 p.m., ending no later than 4-15 p.m. and followed by refresh­ ments.


Great Run A couple who have raised several hun­ dred pounds for Can­ cer Research and North West Air Ambulance are again competing in the Great Manchester Run on May 20th, this time to raise money for the air ambulance.


This will be the third time that David and Sonia Owen, whose children attend Whalley Primary School, will be com­ peting in the run. Sponsorship forms are available from the school, Tyldes- ley’s butchers in Accrington Road, and Calderstones, where the couple are both employed by the NPIS Trust.


dance and walking


MEMBERS of the Clitheroe and District Caledonian Society, together with friends and families, enjoyed a weekend away at the Cumbria Grand Hotel, Grange-over- Sands. After dinner on th e Friday evening,


there was a varied programme of Scottish country dancing in the ballroom. S a tu rd ay dawned w ith reasonable


weather and three walks were offered. The first was an unaccompanied five-mile stroll along the promenade. Tamsin and Richard Champion led a


party of 25 up towards Birkrigg Common on to the southern fells and then descend­ ing to join the Cumbrian Coastal Way for the return, a distance of about seven miles. Another walk was a little more strenu­


ous and a party of seven led by Malcolm Douglas went round and up Whitbarrow

Anyone fancy a game of rounders?


THE Hodder Valley now has a ladies’ rounders team. A fantastically supported, very first


gathering of 15 ladies from the Hodder Valley villages, met a t Newton-in-Bow- land to pit their wits against each other at roundersl Most had not actually played since


school, some more than 25 years ago, but there turned out to be some, dusted off, potential star players! None of the Hodder -villages had a play­


ing field suitable for the game, so the play­ ers gained permission from local farmer Mr F. Howard, of Newton, to play on one of his fields, and a n o th e r couple of landowners have also offered alternative venues through the silage crop season. Says Julie Whalley: “If there are other


Hodder Valley farmers out there \Hth suit­ able flat grazing land for us to play on, please let me know.” The team was also delighted and grate­


ful to receive a full brand new rounders kit from Mr D. Sanderson, of Slaidburn. With th e summer m onths fast


approaching, it was, says Julie, a great start to the first season to get out into the fresh air and meet up with new and exist­ ing ladies, and a good laugh was had by

Local Elections, May 3


'We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government, nor are we for this party nor against another... hut we are for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom.' (Edward Burrough, Quaker 1659)


Quakers seek to serve that of God which is in everyone and are deeply committed to equality and social justice. It is part of the Quaker way of life that each Friend should play a part in the life of the wider social and political community outside the Religious Society of Friends. Friends will not, therefore, give support to any political party which is divisive and promotes prejudice and inequality. We vigorously oppose extremist groups which exploit distrust and hatred of any section of society in order to gain and hold power.


We believe that it is vital that everyone of good will should fulfil their rights and responsibilities in elections, using their vote in favour of candidates and parties which will treat all people as being of equal value, status and having equal rights.


May we all, of all faiths and none, rejoice in the diversity of the society in which we all share and work towards understanding, equality and freedom - including freedom from the fear of others.


Sawley Preparative Meeting, Religious Society of Friends.
