CLITHEROE Central was beaten 6-3 by St Helen’s Town. Despite slippery conditions the game was “hotly contest­ ed”. The Advertiser’s match report said local followers had rarely seen such an exhibition of deadly marksmanship by visiting forwards who had adapted quickly to the conditions. ® At Sabden’s Wesley School a naval


carnival was organised by the third class of females. The platform had been deco­ rated to replicate HMS Invincible and when it came to serving tea, the wait­ resses were dressed in naval costume. •The 320 guests who attended the

Mayor’s reception would have taken with them “fragrant and happy” memo­ ries of the occasion. As well as listing the guests, the Advertiser described what each lady wore. The gown worn by the Mayoress was described as a “becoming shade of green mirror velvet” with a fit­ ted collar of Paris shade duchesse lace, a skirt with a full and long train and a waist belt of satin Mervileaux to match the velvet. • Among the notices, it was reported


that Col and Mrs Aspin had left Clitheroe to visit Egypt and the 28th sermon was preached at St Leonard’s Church, Downham, in accordance with the terms of the will of Sir Ralph Assheton who had died in 1680. .


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


A 67-YEAR-OLD spinster who lived alone in Hayhurst Street, Clitheroe, told her neighbours she was feeling depressed. Later the same day she seemed cheery


and everyone thought her spirits had recovered, but a few days later neigh­ bours began to feel suspicious after her milk bottle bad been left out all day. On entering the house they found she was dead. 8 A woman was fined £5 after a traf­


fic collision. She was charged with driv­ ing a van without reasonable considera­ tion and ber licence was endorsed. The driver of the other vehicle said that the woman’s milk delivery van came out of Whiteacre Lane and turned towards Clitheroe. The other motorist was driv­ ing at 45 m.p.h. when he saw the deliv­ ery van. He braked, skidded and in try­ ing to swerve round the back of the van and there was a crash. ® Children in Clitheroe were found to


be more safety conscious than adults. Members of the Junior Accident Pre­ vention Council counted the number of children and adults who used the Castle


Street crossing and the road 50 j'ards to the side of it. They found 57% of children crossed


at the correct place while only 39% of adults used the crossing.

A FINANCIAL dispute between five GP practices and the regional health authority meant plans for Clitheroe’s Community Hospital suffered a set­ back. Arguments over payments meant the first stage in a bid to change the use of the hospital from a geriatric unit to a community hospital with a GP ser\ice had not gone according to plan. ® A Whalley man was given the gift


of life after undergoing a revolutionary form of kidney treatment. A former lorry driver for Ribblesdale Cement, he underwent continuous ambulatory peri­ toneal dialysis at Manchester Royal Infirmary, a treatment which had been pioneered in America. Villagers raised £400 in just over a week to boost funds at the hospital. 0 As part of an adult education pro­ gramme, Arthur and Beryl Greenwood, of Sabden, were teaching people to dance. Classes in Sabden and Clitheroe focused on old time and sequence danc­ ing and such was the success of the les­ sons that a class was due to start in Whalley. ® In Pendleton diocesan leaders gave


their backing to a proposal to convert the old village school into a centre for young church people. As a result of the decision a planning application was sub­ mitted to Ribble Valley Council.


\yoman who had more than six million pounds in invest­ ments. She told my friend tha t she couldn’t sleep at night because she was worried that she might lose it. Is any­ thing safe?


We all like security. We like to fee) our home is secure, our


life is secure and our future is • secure. If any of these are threat­


ened we find it very uncom­ fortable. But can we know absolute security in anything? Is anything really safe?

» Lord Jesus said: “Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where •moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for your­ selves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Today He would probably have added; “And where the Stock Market might crash!”) It is a different perspective.

investing our lives, time and money in a way that will hold guarantee for the future?” It is a change of heart and a change in the place where we

unchanging - what better place to put our trust? You will not find better security anyxvhere.

NEED some help. Does anyone know if there are any rules govern­ ing beauty treatment etiquette?


Let me explain. Every other New Year’s Eve a girl­


friend and I treat ourselves to a child- free, husband-free pamper session at a local spa. It is a biennial highlight. As soon as we dare we leave the house


to make the most of our five hours’ free­ dom.


Since 2003 we have visited the same


establishment and enjoyed making use of its leisure facilities - usually prefer­ ring to sit in a jacuzzi putting the world to rights - before donning our robes and enjoying a two-course lunch. The next item on our itinerary is


where my problem crops up. Our day of luxury culminates with

three treatments, usually incorporating a back massage, mini facial and a mani­ cure. Picture the scene. Two hardworking mothers-of-two are


ushered into their treatment rooms, where they are met with subdued light­ ing, softly playing background music and a bed covered with a luxuriously warm fleecy throw. Then follows an hour of sheer bliss -


a massage and mini facial. The beauty therapist then covers you up with the


blanket and leaves with the w^B; “come through for your manicure you are ready”.


Now when should one be ready to


move on? What we would really like to do is snuggle down and catch up on six years’ missed sleep, but I am not sure that would go down too well with the staff. So here is where I need to know the


protocol. We never want to appear too eager to


move on to our final treatment thereby minimizing our free time, but neither do we want to be in that haven of peace and tranquillity so long that we over­ stay our welcome. Our next “day off” is scheduled for


2009, so any advice on etiquette before then would be gratefully appreciated.

COMPANY which specialis­ es in handling dry bulk solids and ingredients has a new face at its helm.


Mr Robert Hudson (pictured) has


been appointed managing director of Spiroflow Ltd at Upbrooks. Established tor the past 35 years,


Spiroflow has almost 30 employees. Its conveyors, bulk bag fillers and loaders are used for applications involving the handling and storage of powders, granules and flakes for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and plastics industries. Company chairman Michel Pode-


vyn invented the Flexible Spiral Conveyor which has become synony­ mous with the company name. Mr Hudson has been working with


the company for several months now and has been instrumental in helping it achieve a successful result for 2007. He comes to the Clitheroe compa­


ny with an impressive track record - he was production director at Pala- matic prior to establishing his own engineering and management consul­ tancy company in 2006.


Thomas is a Relay winner T


h e latest winner of our Relay Readers competition is eight- year-old Thomas Hiilsdon.


A Year 4 pupil at Edisford Primary


School, Thomas enjoys playing tennis and football at Roefield. His award-winning review was on


“The Secret Country” by Jane Johnson. The three favourite things Thomas


(pictured) liked about the book were the animals, the scariness and the mystery. Thomas, who wrote a detailed review


of the story, said he enjoyed reading the book because he likes adventure stories. In his review he explained the plot -


creatures from a world called Eidolon are stuck on earth and it is up to Ben Arnold to return them. The story comes to a tense climax when Ben is caught by the evil dodman and taken to his castle. Thankfully, he is rescued by a cat who he had earlier returned to the world. The young winner said his favourite


part of the book was when Ben, the main character, gets the animals back to their own worlds, (s)

DATA BASE IT Learning and Devel­ opment Centre in Henthorn Road has teamed up with Groundwork Pennine Lancashire to try to help local resi­ dents reduce their carbon footprints. Some Clitheroe enterprises have


recently undergone environmental reviews to find ways of reducing run­ ning costs and environmental impact. Now four free workshops are being held for members of the community on Friday mornings between 9-30 a.m.


and 12-30 p.m. starting tomorrow and continuing next week and again on February 8th and 15th. DATA BASE is being used as the


base due to the self-help and self- assessment carbon footprint resources available on the internet. Each workshop will be led by envi­


ronmental professionals from Ground­ work Pennine Lancashire giving insights and suggestions on how to reduce reliance on different resources before turning to various educational websites to learn more. Places are limited due to the number


of computers so contact DATA BASE on 01200 425537 to reserve a place on any or all of the workshop dates.

After studying mechanical engi­


neering in the petro-chemical indus- trj’, Mr Hudson moved into the pow­ der-handling field in the late 1980s, where he continued his academic studies. Speaking about the new Appoint­


ment Mr Podevyn said: “We are delighted to have Robert join us as MD of our UK operation. Cathy Podevyn has done an e.xcellent job of running the business for the past three years, but she is eager to get back to concentrating more of her time on sales and marketing activi­ ties. “I am optimistic that with Robert


on board and Cathy able to devote more time to her sales role, we can move an already successful business forward to realise its full potential for the benefit of everyone and, in par­ ticular, the great team that we have at Clitheroe - without whom we would not be where we are today. In addition to my position as chairman of the group, I shall continue my role as CEO of our US operation Spiroflow Systems Inc.” (s)


Still time to apply for grant aid


just over a month left to apply for grants from the Forestry Commission’s Wood­ land Improvement Grant (WIG) scheme. I t has allocated an extra £120,000 in


L


WIG funding to support work that will increase public benefits from existing wood­ lands. But to be in with a chance of qualify­ ing for a grant, applications must be in before February 29th. The additional funds have been made


available for projects that will create or improve public access to woodland or those that will help to enhance our region’s biodi­ versity by protecting or restoring native woodlands. Penny Oliver, of the Forestry Commis­


sion, explained: “Woodland Improvement Grants are intended for people who want to increase the public benefits of existing woodlands - whether it is actively protect­ ing our region’s native woodland habitats or developing projects where there is a real need for improved public access. “Making it easier for people to access


their local woodlands is a priority for the Forestry Commission; offering woodlands as places that people can exercise, spend recre­ ation time and relax is an important part of creating a healthy, happy community.” There are criteria that grant applicants will need to meet to qualify for support, and lim­ itations on the grants available. Anyone interested in making an application should contact the Forestry Commission on 01606 889912. Alternatively they can e-mail: north-


west.fce.@forestry.gsi.gov.uk Further infor­ mation can also be found online at: www.forestry.gov.uk/ewgs
