Clitheroe Advertiser STImes, Thursday, July 2nd , 2009 ' 23 Fighting talk


AT the meeting of Clitheroe University of the Third Age, John and Gertrude Farmery spoke about one of the first battles of the American Civil 'War -


the Bat­


tle of Bull Run - fought on July 21st, 1861, near Man­ assas, Virginia. . John and his wife were dressed in period costume to


set the mood and John, wearing the uniform of a Union soldier, explained that in the mid-1800s the : economy of the southern states of America relied heavily on slave labour and the southern states became very anxious when they realised they were •; outnumbered by the' northern states that had abol- , ished slavery. They felt that sooner or later they would have to follow suit.


- Initially there were seven states involved,' but later;: the number grew to 11 who broke away.from the '

: , Afternoon tea was taken by


the 40 women who had pur­ chased tickets for the fundrais­ er and there was a competition for the best dressed hat. Organiser Kate Akroyd said:


. “It was a chance for ladies to dress up and wear either_a hat or fascinator or pay a forfeit. ‘‘We raised £700 to be split


between the St Catherine’s Hospice and Vine House, a cancer care centre in Preston.”
