Thanks to the prize bingo evening and
1 : f
anonymous dona tions of £500 and £50 the appeal has now reached £20,250.
This means that work can hopefully begin shortly on the hall's new roof. The fund-raising must continue, how ever, as a further £20,000 is now needed to replace all the doors and win dows throughout the building.
Although it is hoped to get some grant support, more fund raising events are needed..
The church's £20 bonus ball winner last week was Judith Masterman.
A collection was . taken last weekend after both Masses for the Home Mis sions - for those who do missionary work in this country.

The walk, which included 2,300ft of ascent, took nearly eight hours to com plete and was led by Ben Brown.
After climbing out of Kettlewell, an old green track was followed above the val ley edge with extensive downward views into Dowber Gill.
Hag Dike - owned by the Scouts since 1947 - was soon reached and a fairly flat boggy section was the prelude to a climb in misty conditions to reach the summit of Great Whernside.
. The ridge was followed over Blackfell Top and a descent of 600ft was iiiade to reach the Iron Age fortification of Tor Dyke.
After crossing the Park Rash Pass, a • grassy track contoured round to the Starbotton Road.
Bypassing Top Mere Top the party joined the Walden Road - an old track from Starbotton;
The ridge wall was followed to a cross erected to five Polish RAF airman who died there in 1942. The one survivor crawled to safety by following the foot-
. prints of a fox in the snow, which led him down into the valley - a bronze fox’s head is incorporated into the memorial.
Eventually the flat grassy summit of Buckden Pike was reached, but the panorama was restricted by low cloud.
The bridleway to Buckden, the highest vil lage in Wharfedale, was followed to Buckden Rake, where a natural lime stone shelf descends to the village.
After crossing the River Wharfe, the Dales Way was followed for four miles back to Kettlewell.

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, September 25th, 2008 19 Standards continue to amaze by Sarah Holden
DREADFUL weather failed to put off 51 exhibitors at the Chip ping and District Horticultural Society’s 27th annual show. The only downside this year was
that fewer members of the public than was hoped for went to see it. However, the show was assisted by
Lottery funding, which helped to purchase new tables, trugs, baskets, flower vases, promotional roadside banners and printing facilities, which helped towards staging yet another wonderful spectacle for those who did attend. As always, competition was keen
for a wealth of trophies and prizes in the five sections covering vegetables, dahlias, gladioli, chrysanthemums, and pot plants and mixed flowers. The judges again commented on
the unbelievably high standard of exhibits, with National Vegetable Society secretary Mr David Allison asking: “How can a tiny village in the middle of nowhere put on a show of such quality?" Secretary Frank Hoyle’s answer
was; “Well, it's down to enthusiasm, lots of hard work by the committee and the continued support of local sponsorship, which attracts national champions. “Many of the exhibitors at Chip
ping will be winning prizes at Harro gate this coming weekend!” Among this year’s sponsors of class prizes were Barton Grange

The show was dedicated to the
memory of legendary exhibitor and octogenarian Arthur Preston, of Chipping, who djed earlier this year. “His beetroots were unbeatable,”
said Mr Hoyle. “As well as showing here, he exhibited at Chipping Agri cultural Show for more than 70 years and was a legend in the village.” In the prize list for vegetables, the
winner of class for “three beetroot (globe)” gained the Arthur Prestpn Special Award and trophies were pre sented by Harold and Margaret Fazackerley, with aU proceeds for the show going to Chipping Village Hall.

Climbers spend holiday weekend in Wales
N IN E members of Clitheroe mountaineering club spent the August Bank holiday weekend camping at Brithdir, near Dolgel lau, in Wales. On Saturday the group drove, to'
the secluded village of Croesor, near Blaenau Ffestiniog, to climb the south-west ridge of Cnicht, an elon gated rocky crest peaked with one summit and numerous subsidiaries, providing good views of Tremadog
Bay. After descending to a cairn over
looking the waters of Llyn yr Adar, the party turned right to follow an indistinct path to Bwlch y Rhosy- dd, where old quarry workings were explored. Here an old railway incline
brought members to a boggy plateau for the start of an unrelent ing slope of steep grass, through gathering mist and increasingly heavy rain, leading to the trig, point on the summit of Moelwyn Mawr. . Trusting map and compass to
locate the connecting ridge to Moelwyn Bach, this was followed over the rocky peak of Craig Ysgafn to reach the summit. A long and gentle grass ridge,,
leading downwards to the west, brought the group down'to the road for a short walk back to Croesor. Despite forecasts of low cloud on
Sunday, members headed out to Tal-y-Bont, north of Barmouth, to walk a round of two mountains in the Rhinog group. ,
Starting.from Cors-y-Gedol, the
site of an ancient burial chamber, a bridleway was followed until the party headed north to reach the saddle between Moelfre and Moelyblithewm. • An ascent of the latter led to a short, steep climb to the summit of Y Llethr, where a continuous wall was followed southwards to Dif- fwys, the day’s second objective. A long, grassy descent to the
south-west brought the group back to the narrow'bridge of Pont Scethin, where two off-road driving enthusiasts were attempting to extricate their Land Rover from a deep ditch alongside the bridleway leading back to Tal-y-Bont. On Monday, before returning
home, members braved strong winds and heavy rain to climb Cader Idris via a circuit of Cwm
Cau. Starting from Minfford, the
party followed a stony path, which zig-zags steeply through woods to emerge eventually in Cwm Cau, where a path rising steeply to the left was taken to gain the ridge enclosing the cwm. The crest was followed over
Craig Cwm Amarch and Mynydd Pencoed to reach the main summit of Pen y Gadair, where a mountain bothy provided welcome shelter from the hostile weather. After lunch members descended
north-east over rocky ground to reach the ridge to the top of Myny-
: dd Moel where a fence was followed down to the start at Minffordd..
