. Cricket - Club were deserving winners of the award and at their recent meeting of the Rotary Club at The Moorcock Inn a certificate was pre­


sented along with a cheque to Farouk, their chairman, in apprecia­ tion of all that he and his team do towards helping the young boys and girls of the town. Farouk said that along

Laughter is the best medicine


MEMBERS of Clitheroe and District Probus Club were encouraged to “laugh and relax” by guest speaker Mr Dennis


Moore. Using the title “Laughter, the best ined-


icine” the speaker delivered a fascinating, humorous, educational and generally uplifting message describing the impor-


• tance of humour in promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Giving many examples of therapy to


reduce tension, the power of positive thinking, reduction of muscle stress ming osteopathy, Mr Moore also included jokes and examples of humorous situations he had experienced during 26 years as a


t6Rch6n On a practical note he recommended


compiling a personal scrapbook of jokes - an exercise which in itself is a stress-buster, besides being a relaxing read. Mr Moore told members that anxiety and relaxation cannot co-exist so encouraged them to laugh more, relax more and feelgood. The vote of thanks given by Mr Doug Stewart .was enthusiastically endorsed by.


ihe applauding members.


f l | l ’rhe club’s summer luncheon takes place tomorrow, with the next normal meeting on August 15th in the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Clitheroe, at 10-15 for a 10-45 a.m. start.
