PENDLETON,
WI walk Pendleton WI presi dent Mrs G. Hack ing read the letters from visiting WIs who had enjoyed last month’s meet ing, with special
' guest. Miss Septem ber, of the Calendar Girls.
The main topic of the meeting was the res olutions discussion. I t was disappoint ing th a t only one subject could go for ward to the NFWI AGM in Liverpool next month.
Both suggestions were worthy causes, but the “Inappro priate imprison ment of the mental ly ill” took the most votes from mem bers.. ■ . ..
I t was felt that had the buildings and grounds of such local hospitals as Calderstones etc. not been sold, more people with mental . disabilities would : not be out on the
• streets and getting into trouble. They
. Tvould be receiving the care they needed in hospitals and care
• homes. A local circular walk : on June 10th, start ing a t the. village hall at 1-30 p.m.', stirred plenty of
' -interest. t K- ; 'v: '- Final arrangements
were made for the
, visit to Newby Hall and gardens. Mrs G. Walmsley once
. again won the com petition this time
• with her special tea pot; Tea and bis cuits were provided by Mesdames. G. Park, M. Gornall,
' R. Crow and a vari ety of plastic items were sold by J. Bris
At the next meeting on June 17th there will be a plant stall.
Historical club Another part of Pendleton’s history has been found thanks to an appeal in " The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times".
Members of the vil lage Historical Soci ety were anxious to find a copy of a film of village life taken in the 1960s and 70s. It will be copied and kept with all the others treasures being collected to form a valuable insight into village life.
At the next meeting, on Thursday, June 12th, former vicar the Rev. Derek Ley- land will be a guest. A very popular vicar, he made a lasting impression on Pendleton, including writing a history book on the village and church. He was also respon sible for organising
. villagers into stitch ing the carpet in the church aisle.
Waste paper The next waste paper day in Pendleton is on Tuesday. Please leave papers ready for collection in the white bags provid ed.
Musical event Organisers of the musical evening by the Pendleton Singers are hoping for a good atten-r dance . to raise money for All Saints Church in the vil lage.

The singers will be performing songs from the shows and there will be a hot supper. Admission is £10, and tickets are available from any PCC member or by ringing 01200 426211.
