Hospice winter card is


back by popular demand BACK by popular demand, acclaimed East Lancashire artist John Chapman’s scene of “Win­ ter in Clitheroe” is avail­ able as a Christmas card with a truly local flavour. Better still, every card sent


raises vital funds for the East Lancashire Hospice, a cause which Mr Chapman has sup­ ported through his ar t for many years. The Winter in Clitheroe


card, pictured, has been a Ribble Valley bestseller for a few years, but was missing from the hospice’s Christmas card range last year. Now it is back and available directly from the hospice or from vari­ ous shops in Clitheroe, includ­ ing the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office, a t 3 King Street.


The cards depict a wintry


scene from around the 1920s, looking up Castle Street to the unmistakeable form of Clitheroe Castle itself. Print­ ed on good quality card, they are available in packs of 10, with envelopes, at £3.75 per pack. Other cards in the hos­ pice range include traditional Christmas scenes and three more paintings by Mr Chap­ man, showing winter scenes of Accrington and Blackburn around the 1950s and one of the hospice itself. Harry Grayson, head of


fund-raising at the hospice, said: “Last year’s Christmas card campaign was the best ever, with approximately £13,000 raised in sales. ” To order cards direct, call


the hospice fund-raising team on 01254 342848.
