attended.and answered questions about their work. . An ongoing competition for the


People’s Prize will run until Octo­ ber 20th, allowing visitors to vote for their favourite piece.


The winning entrant will receive

sional and student textile artists from Lancashire and Yorkshire submitted work to the competition and from these 71 were selected to exhibit. As a result the exhibition features a diverse range of styles and techniques, including stiched


and woven landscapes, jewellery, clothing and accessories, and cele­ brates the artistic and Industrial heritage of textiles in the North of England. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Textiles Open Exhibi­ tion will run until October 22nd. Artist Annette Jeffery is pic­

BOSSES at Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council are looking for civic-minded residents to join its Standards Committee. The committee is responsible for

Anyone can apply to be a


member of the committee and the borough council ratifies all appointments. New legislation has given


Standards Committees across the country additional powers and the committee’s chairman, plus 25% of its members, must now be independent. . Ciitheroe solicitor Barry Bear­


ing, who is the chairman of Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council’s committee, said: “New legisla­ tion means Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council now has responsi­ bility for receiving, assessing, investigating and determining


allegations about the conduct of councillors and the S tan ­ dards Committee will be a major part of that process. “It will decide whether coun­


cillors have breached the code of conduct and have the power to impose sanctions, such as suspension or additional train­ ing. “Being p a r t of a Standards


Committee is a challenging role that provides members with the


■chance to have a real say in the ethical governance of Ribble Valley. We are encouraging resi­ dents from all walks of life to apply.”


Ribble Valley Borough Coun­


cil wants to recruit two inde­ pendent and two parish council members to its Standards Com­ mittee. Further details are available


from the council’s legal services manager, Diane Rice, on 01200 414418. Our picture shows Mr Bear­


ing with fellow Standards Com­ mittee members (frpm the left) Chatburn p a r ish councillor Marjorie Birch, Read parish councillor Cyril Law together with Ribble Valley councillors Margaret Sutcliffe and Doreen Taylor, (s)

Been to an optician recently? Probably... Been to a dentist recently? Possibly...


Been to have your hearing tested recently?... Probably not!!


Y e a r after year w e rely on key senses to get the bert out of life with colleagues, friends and loved ones. And w e do take good care of most of them: w e get glasses, w e fix our teeth, w e diet and w e exercise. But when it comes to our hearing, far too many wart far too long. Did you know that if you suffer from a hearing loss, you are one of 15% of the population that have a degree of hearing loss; that's 1 in 7 people in the East Lancashire area.! The vast majority of these people ran be helped by the provision of a hearing aid, yet ■ , traditionally more than half choose not to wear them. Reasons-


commonly given are that the Aids are too big and bulky, that they'whistle, and that they amplify too much background sound. However, things have changed dramatically since the introduction of Digital Technology. Getting your hearing evaluated is just "as easy as - r, going to the optician or the dentist and it's completely free of charge!
