table tennis talents and loves strik­ ing it big the moment she picks up a bat. The mother-of-three celebrated


her 90th birthday in fine style last Thursday. Family, friends and group members gathered for a cele­ bratory meal at the Black Bull, in Rimington, to mark the milestone. The special event also coincided with the table tennis group’s annual dinner.


Rain could not stop play


DESPITE rain and heavy cloud, 19 members of Clitheroe Ramblers started their Tuesday walk from Het- ton, near Skipton, along the walled track of Moor Lane on to Hetton Moor, where surprisingly extensive views were appreciated - in the rain! Turning south alongside Winter-


burn reservoir - a feeder for the canal at Gargrave - the path took the group to Flashy, lunch having been taken in a disused barn. In Flashy, the home of the late


Fred Trueman was noted before walking up to Sunter Gill and down to Calton Gill Beck before going under the single line railway which is used to carry stone from Swinden quarry. The path continued into Rylstone


where the lodge and mill site were seen - but not the Calendar Girls! The return path to Hetton was back under the railway, over a well-worn clapper bridge and along a narrow enclosed path used in times past for both visiting church and the mill. Walk leader was John Whitehead.

(A100108/1) Winter judging marks start of new year


THE first Ribblesdale Camera Club meeting of 2008 was the judging of the fourth Winter Com­ petition, marked on this occasion by the members themselves. The print competition attracted


32 entries. After comments by chairman John Bradley and pro­ gramme secretary, Stewart Clark, the club gave marks. The winner was a natural history entry from John Fletcher - “Red Headed Pochard”; Stephen Robinson’s record picture “Sun Dial Graph” came second. There was a tie for third position, also with natural history subjects: “Short Eared Owl” by Trevor Marklew and


“Fritillary on Bramble” by Leslie Marklew. The slides had 12 entries, won by


Ken Geddes’ “Lava Flow - Sum­ mit Mount Kejen Ijen”; second were jointly “Newly-Born Macaque” by Ken Geddes and Eleanor Friend’s “Going Down Mill Gill”. Fourth was John Bradley’s “Mill Pond, Swanage”. The digital projections resulted


in first and fourth places for Brian Tillotson, with “Mergozzo, near Lake Maggiore” and “Butter- mere”, split by Graham Dudley’s “Reflection of Autumn” in second and John Fletcher’s “Autumn Gar­ den”. This was another quality


Postcards tell their story


“HANDS Across the Sea” was the talk enjoyed the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society, Rib- ble Valley branch. Guest speaker Hilda Raweliffe


told members about 100 postcards discovered in the loft of a family house. Dated from 1906 to 1930, the


cards had not been kept in boxes or albums and were very dusty and dirty. However despite some missing dates a lot of family history and


background had been pieced togeth­ er.


The speaker said the cards had


told the story of a family and friends who went to live in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where there was a thriving textile industry. Over time the family’s life in


America had improved and they had enjoyed holidays in New York, send­ ing postcards to England and rela­ tives in New Bedford. Postcards from England told of local gossip and news events - Darwen Tower, the death and funeral of King


Edward VII and snow on the moors on May 8th. The family returned to England in


1913 and following postcards told of their holidays and news from those who stayed in America. The society’s speaker said the postcards had given an insight into


the social and family history of the time. • The next meeting mil be held at


the cricket club on February 12th when Sue Holden will speak about “Clitheroe Street Names”.

Any loss of quality is displayed ruthlessly by the projector and even excellent pictures on the home computer screen can look burnt out and pale when projected through a high- powered projector.

A NEW brand of butter made entirely from Ribble Valley’s “Bowland Fresh” milk has already raised more than £400 for a life-saving charity. Singletons Dairy, at Longridge,


has created the new “Bowland Butter” which, apart from being delicious, raises funds for Bow­ land Pennine Mountain Rescue. Exclusive to Booths supermar­


kets, Bowland Butter retails at £1.19 for a 250g pack and 5p from each sale goes towards the valuable voluntary service which operates across Lancashire. Singletons is the only dairy to


use 100% Bowland Fresh milk in all its cheeses. Bowland Butter is


a completely natural product and made with the cream after the cheese-making process. Gary Johnson, Singletons


account manager, said: “The col­ laboration between Singletons, Bowland Fresh, Bowland Pen­ nine Mountain Rescue and Booths means that the product is completely traceable and what’s more is supporting local farmers, manufacturers, retailers and charities, therefore reducing the carbon footprint wherever possi­ ble.” Lynne Bamford, from Bow­


land Fresh, added: “We are delighted at the way everyone is working together to support local industries and keeping the Forest of Bowland as it should be.” Bowland Pennine Mountain


Rescue provides 365-day moun­ tain search and rescue service in both the rural and mban districts of Lancashire. For more information, visit:

cash allocation to cover projects over the next three years will have to demonstrate how they can contribute to the community strategy and priorities set by the PCT and its partner organisa­ tions. Tim Mansfield, the PCT’s

ple. “It could be an exisiting proj­


ect that might be looking to expand, or an innovative project that is looking to make an impact, fill a gap or complement existing services. “As long as the overall result


fits in with the overall aim of the PCT and its partner organisa­ tions, a project can be considered. We are looking to help communi­ ty-based organisations have a positive impact on the health of residents and to improve the quality of life for people in our communities.” An application pack can be
