might say the music is outdated and you can teU irs from a differ­ ent geneianon. but at that time Mr Duckworth would have been quite the man.” Until now there have been no

ing Colne Library. - She e.\plained how the col­


laboration came about: “One of our regular customers, Donald Coates, who is Sally Leeming’s fa­ ther, brought in a book of Francis Duckworth’s hymns and 1 realised 1 didn’t know what any of the tunes sounded like. “The North West Sound Ar­


chive didn’t have any recordings so 1 decided it would be a nice idea to team up someone from Pendle and someone from Clitheroe to record the hvmns for posterit)’.’


Sue said the idea was initially to


produce a small number of CDs to stock in the libraries, but with public interest growing since the recording, the CDs might eventu­ ally go on general sale. She said this would be subject to copyright approval and copies would be pro­ duced according to demand. Sue added that the recording


session had been very’ successful and thanked everyone involved for gK’ing their time to help preserve the hymns for future generations to hear.

FARMERS in the Ribble Valley are being in- vited to a demonstration to see how to get the most out of the grassland grown on a typical East Lancashire holding. The event has been organised by Myerscough College through the Northwest Livestock Pro­


gramme at Higher Micklehurst Farm, Manches­ ter Road, Burnley. Among the speakers will be independent


grassland specialist Charlie Morgan, who says the first third of the grazing season determines


Localyouth group is in need of your vote


by Julie Magee


MEMBERS of Clitheroe Youth Forum need your vote as the group goes head to head with other Lottery-


funded projects across the country in the semi-finals of The National Lottery Awards 2010. The group is one of only 10 projects


to make it through to the Best Heritage Project category of The National Lottery Awards, which are an annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects.


. All the projects in the running have al­


ready received Lottery funding and the awards celebrate how they have used it. Now Ribble Valley residents are be­


ing urged to cast a vote to put the group through to the final stage. The Clitheroe Youth Forum used Lot-


. tery funding to teach young people about their heritage by involving them in the cre­ ation of a Remembrance Book, a Braille book, a website and a film to remember the 72 service men and one woman from the town of Clitheroe who were killed in the Second World War. The winning project in each of the sev­


en categories will receive national recog­ nition on a BBC One show later this year and, in addition to the Lottery funding they have already been awarded, will re­ ceive £2,000 to spend on their project. - Mel Diack,,of the Clitheroe Youth


Forum Project, said: “We’re delighted to have reached the semi-finals of The National Lottery Awards. Lottery fund­ ing has helped us to create a website for those from Clitheroe who died during World War Two, along with other service men and women and civilians killed from across the Ribble Valley. It has helped us to create a Book of Remembrance, a Braille book of Honour and a film. This was really important in helping young lo­ cal people to understand about their her­ itage. We’re really hoping the public gets behind us to vote as it would be fantastic to get national recognition for the work that we do.” . Voting for the semi-finals ends at mid­


day on Friday, June 18th. To cast a vote for Clitheroe Youth Forum call 0844 686 5959 or log on to w'ww.lotterygoodcauses. org.uk/awards

the performance of the subsequent two thirds. “Half of grass production has taken place on


lowland farms by late May and in upland areas by the end of June. Much of this high quality early growth can be lost due to under-utilisa- ‘ tion and poor grazing management,” he com­ mented.


Working alongside soil and grassland special- ists :s James Bretherton (Agseope) and Helen


Mathieu (British Seedhouses), the three speak­ ers will discuss the benefits of measuring grass growth to assess dry matter for future grazing, choosing the right seed mixture to improve fields used for both grazing and cutting, and how
