A VILLAGE church was overwhelmed : by more than 100 visitors when it held
/ ■ its last-ever service, forcing the mile stone event to take place outside in the sunshine.
: Organisers had expected around 60 : past and present ministers and mem bers of the congregation to attend the ■ service at Sabden Methodist Church
^ in Wesley Street, but the actual num- Bber was around 120 - too many to fit inside the chapel. The service was attended by repre-
'sentatives from different denoinina- tions in the village as well as the chair man of the Methodist district of North Lancashire Mr Stephen Poxon
•i and preacher Mr Ian Wheeler, who :: began his training to become a preach-
r. er at the church several years ago. - , : r, //■/Minister for

come to the service. .We had around 120 there. It was wonderful and there; was a lot of hymn singing, we even took the organ outside.”
: Following the
service.the crowd enjoyed refreshments before the doors closed for the last time.
■ Some members of the congregation will now travel to Great Harwood to attend church while others will wor ship at other churches in the village. . '
, But Mrs Free said a Methodist pres ence will remain in Sabden despite the closure. “We plan to set up a Methodist class,
and will continue to work within the village.” :Mrs Free also allayed-fears sur-

reported last month how the historic church was forced to close after it was
‘ plagued by rising' damp, wet rot and, dry rot; with the repair bill estimated
: somewhere between £30,000 and £70,000.

cystic fibrosis all my life,-but I do realise how lucky I am to be relatively healthy compared to others.” She was even more surprised to be named

Centre steps in to quash extended closure rumours
RUMOURS that Roefield Leisure Centre will be closed for a long period while improvements are carried out have been quashed by its management team. We reported last month that a
£195,000 Sport England Lottery grant was the final piece in the jig saw enabling a £ l . lm . extension and improvement scheme to go ahead at the centre in Edisford Road. I t will mean a range of new
equipment and facilities, with a ■ complete makeover of the current ly oversubscribed gym and fitness room, making it available to many more users. However, the work has been carefully planned to min imise disruption, especially to those who already use the facilities at Roefield regularly.
: :: ' • Centre manager Tony Rodia
■ said: “Just recently it has come to my attention that there have been some rumours about the length and extent of the centre’s closure. I can assure you that the estimates
: of months of closure and disrup- ■ tionareuntrue.. “A complete refurbishment of
the barn and the installation of the new equipment will go ahead during July. However, we will be moving some of -the existing gym equipment into the Aerobic/Activ- . ities room - the old gym - before work begins, so that it can still be
used in the meantime. “This will ensure that clients’
exercise programmes and results are interrupted as little as possible during the summer. We anticipate that there will only be three days during this process when we will have to close, probably July 1st to
.3rd. :‘ “ Asa token of our appreciation for their understanding and loyal ty, all of our annual contract mem bers will receive a £10 sports voucher which can be redeemed against any activity at Roefield.” It is anticipated that the new
fitness suite will be available to users in August.
:r . Tony added: “Inevitably there
will be some disruption during the transition and the refurbishment and installation of new equip ment, but I can promise that the final results will be well worth it.” • The transformation of the exist ing g)Tn into a state-of-the-art fit ness suite is the first phase of the Roefield scheme. Phase two, which is currently going through the planning process, will see a further expansion to offer new facilities including a purpose-built aerobic and dance studio and a dedicated gym for the over-50s and young people. Anyone wanting to know more
about the plans can contact Tony Rodia on 01200 442188.
