E Primary School and Ribbles- dale Secondary School, in Clitheroe, Mr Ireland worked on his father’s farm. He married his wife, Olive, in


1958 - it would have been their golden wedding on September 20 th - he then went to work on a farm in Padiham. In 1961, Mr Ireland got a job

THE new president of the Inner Wheel Club of Ribbles- dale, Mrs Muriel Ashcroft, arranged an outing from Bolton Abbey, over the moors in Land-Rovers with the park rangers, on a nature trail. At 4-30 p.m. the same after-


■ noon it was cancelled because of the wet weather. One week later she


arranged a walking treasure hunt round the village of Saw- ley, to take its place. Of course it rained again’and that could not take place either, but at least the members enjoyed a


good supper at the Spread Eagle. “ Is my whole year going to


be a washout?’’ , wondered Mrs Ashcroft. However, the first meeting at the Lower Buck at Waddington was a success. The meal was good and thespeaker, Mrs Mairead Mahon, was excellent, talking about the Brontes. The next event is a French


• Evening at Sawley Village Hall on October 10th and the tickets are £8.50 including buffet supper, for the charity fund.

By-law to help fish numbers


THE Environment Agency is once again reminding anglers o f the new by-law on the River Ribble, limiting the number of salmon which can be caught and killed. Until the current season ends on Octo­


ber 31st, anglers are permitted to fish for salmon, but can take and retain only a maximum of two salmon per person. The mandatory bag limit will, also be


supported by a free and voluntary tag­ ging scheme to enable anglers to follow the by-laws with e^e. The simple proce-: dure will ensure each salmon carcass is marked with a unique ID tag as soon as it is removed. The tagging scheme is supported by the


Environment Agency, Ribble FishbriM Consultative and Lancashire Fisheries Consultative.


' All anglers are being urged to take part.


in the scheme and tags are available from a number of outlets throughout the region.


, -M Although the tagging scheme is' volun­


tary, anglers should be aware that the by­ law is mandatory and must be complied with.


Mr Richard McHwain, fisheries team


leader for Lancashire, sai± “ In 2007 and in consultation with netsmen and repre­ sentatives from Ribble Fisheries and Lan­ cashire Fisheries Consultatives, we made the decision to introduce the by-law in order to protect the salmon stock in the river further. Controls on exploitation are one of a number of measures employed to help improve the fishery. These changes are vital to preserve the long-term future of fisheries’ interests on the Ribble.’’

ered to celebrate and recognise Allen’s commitment and hard work at a retire­ ment party organised for him at the Clitheroe Rugby Social Club. Allen started his career in Clitheroe,.

Allen was presented with a plaque in recognition of his commitment, along


with a tankard reading “ Clitheroe Ambulance Service” , aind a satellite navigation system for his car. “ I’m very grateful that so many peo­


ple turned out, some of whom travelled long distances,” Allen said. ' The party’s organisers contacted a


former Clitheronian, who flew over from Australia especially for the event. “ It was great to see everyone and


share stories, and they really did a fan­ tastic job, it was a great night,” Allen added. Now enjoying his retirement, Allen


said he would look back on his time with the ambulance service with fond; memories. Oiir picture shows Allen, seated cen­


tre, at his farewell party with friends and colleagues. (T130708/6)
