Wellie-wearing crowd enjoy village steam fair


FEARS th a t the 11th Chipping Steam Fair would be cancelled proved unfounded to the relief of


organisers. As glorious sunshine


replaced the rain clouds, which had looked so threaten­ ing at the end of last week, hordes of visitors dressed in an ensemble of sunglasses and wellies travelled to the show ground at Green Lane. “The weather beforehand


was very wet so the show field was very wet too and we thought we were going to have to cancel the show,” explained show secretary Mary Harrison.

Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Beverley Jones and her hus­ band Howell, who were wel­


comed by show president Coun. John Weld-Blundell. Youngsters from Clitheroe’s Sutcliffe School of Dance then wowed the crowds with a polished dance routine. Steam engines as well as

a craft tent, demonstrations of rural crafts, trade stands and refreshments. A magi­ cian, folk group and Irish dancers further entertained the crowds. The fair has raised more


than £50,000 over the years and these funds have helped to provide facilities such as a new village hall. Although organisers are unsure how much the event has raised this year, they are optimistic it could prove to be a bumper
