APOSTMAN from Clitheroe is training to be in first class shape for this year’s L o n do n ' Marathon. ; Nigel Bridge is running for the Royal National Institute for Blind People and is hoping local people will support him in his first attempt a t the 26- mile run around the streets of London. . “This is the first time I

200 hours unpaid work and pay £700 in compensation. The teenager was remitted to the youth court to be sen­ tenced. Mrs Philippa "White (prose­


cuting) said Mr Dearing had been out with friends and went home about 1 a.m. He had : gone outside for a cigarette


when he heard someone calling - his name. He went inside and saw Tilbury, who was asking him to come outside. “He agreed to go outside


with these people, but as soon as he did so the 17-year-old came up and .butted him in the face, knocking him to the ground,” said Mrs 'White. _ “Others then set about "him •


and he remembered being kicked and punched about the head and face. He heard Tilbury, whom he knew, ask if helikedit. ■ “He was punched and


kicked for several minutes- before he managed to get to the front door and shout for his father, who was asleep inside the house,” said Mrs ■White. Mr Basharat Ditta (defend­


ing) said all the parties knew each other and i t was not a random attack. He said Tilbury accepted


that she slapped Mr Dearing • once.

THE first of a new series of Tuesday afternoon walks for the Clitheroe Ramblers’ group was a “Stroller”. These slower ' paced walks are for the less energetic and those who want- 'ed to walk a little less far and have time to stop from time to time to observe and enjoy the countryside. Led by Pat Parrott the walk


started from Edisford Bridge, and took the permissive path along the north bank of the Ribble walking westerly to


enter Great Mitton via Malkin Lane. The sun shone ■with some warmth and visibility was good. Turning right in Mitton, they walked up the road until Toot Hill was reached, where they turned into the fields. A discrepancy between the map and the path on the ground led them to investigate, and with the help of a GPS and compass, traces of an old stile were found, which th e group thought was worth trying to have re-instated.
