FREEZIN G temperatures failed to deter crowds of peo- pie who. turned out in force to en jo y a Dickens of a good


time! In fact, the chairman of "Whal-


ley’s Pickwick Committee, Mr Neil Martin, confirmed the three- hour extravaganza had been the busiest ever. Thousands of people descended


f into'.'Whalley to experience the i joys, smells and sounds of a Vic- torian.iChristmas during the : Pickwick Night festivities.


' .<f*V


T his year’s event, which' marked the 20 th anniversary, was •;


i officially opened by David Ross, the star of British sitcom “The ■ Green Green Grass” , who appeared as Mr Pickwick. He was joined by borough


councillor and "Whalley resident Mrs Joyce Holgate, parish coun­ cillor .Mr Eric Ronnan and the chief executive of Ribble Valley Borough Council, ,Mr David


i;Morris. :i ' Commenting on the successful :■ event, Mr Martin said: “.There /was a real party atmosphere and .’ the huge crowds were entertained : by firewaters,'jugglers,'stilt walk- ers, dancers and. tight-rope walk­

ers. There waS seasonal fayre of hot food and drinks and demand ' was such tha t some had sold out 1 . by 8 p.m.


• “Simon Entwistle took some of I , I


; the crowd on ane'htertaining ghost walk around the village., , “■We are very grateful to the •people of. Whalley and to the i


' businesses for their continued support. •- ■ - ' ' “A massive th an k you to the.

outside The Grand, in York Street, and Key Street, in Lowergate, with the metal detecting arch. The move, which was part


of a. Home Office crackdown: on knife crime,-saw more than 500 12 to 16-year-olds, who were entering the two


; premises, searched for knives. . The metal arch th a t they


: had to walk through is simi­ lar to an airport metal detec­ tor and goes off if anyone is ■ carrying anything metal. -ft Police were pleased with the outcome of the crack­ down.


Sgt John Lindsay, o f . -ft.^ ■


Clitheroe Police, said: “There is no suggestion th a t knife crime is a problem anywhere in the Ribble Valley. Howev-. er, th is in i t ia t iv e demon­ strates that we will introduce -


measures to ensure th is remains the case. Knife crime. covers a range of offences,, from murder to actual bodily harm, p erpe tra ted using a- knife or other sharp instru- ment. - . • ■ “Knife crime accounts for Idss than 1% of Lancashire’s


, total crime. One in six of all victims is under 18 years of age,, one in six of all known


. offenders is under. 18. ■ “Three people have been


arrested in possession of a knife so far this year - one in


Clitheroe, one in Sabden and one inLongridge.” - ,He added: “I would like to


thank the proprietors of The Grand and Key:Street:for


their co-operation in allowing us to use the equipment a t . their premises. ■ - - “Over 500 persons were


scanned using the knife arch and no offences were dis­ closed. . :


. .“The equipment will be deployed at various locations in th e coming months to carry out further checks.” : ■
