NEW POST: MP Nigel Evans.with the region’s Conservative MPs on his election of a new title, (s)


MP Nigel Evans has been elected as chairman of the North West Conservative


.MPs-Group. The Group has been


■


re-established in order to provide Conservative MPs from the region with regu­ lar opportunities to meet and discuss issues that af- feet their constituents and


the area. The team will invite leading members of the


Government to attend meetings so that the con-


. cerns of the North West are heard at the highest level.


"Mr Evans, who was


re-elected as MP for the Ribble Valley, said: “I am delighted that the Group has been reconstituted and I am proud to serve as its chairman. “What we want to ensure is that the North West is not neglected or


: ■ .


forgotten by the Govern­ ment and we will seek to ensure that the eoncerns of our constituents and the region are actively promot-. ed and properly heard.” He added: “Our first ,


meeting was productive and extremely positive. My colleagues and I are look-- ing forward to working to­ gether in the best interests of the North West.”


Fine day for a hike


A FINE fresh day was kind to the Clithe­ roe Ramblers group and their leader John


Webb, whose Sunday walk took them by Walshaw Dean reservoir.


! They parked at Clough Foot on the Brierfield to Hebden Bridge road, and enjoyed a nine-mile walk, up to the ridge overlooking Haworth before heading across the wild moorland of The Waste ,


down to the delightful hamlet of Walshaw, and returning to the start point. ' . ; -The variety of views and scenery ranged from dry grass, boggy peat and green fields to bare moorland and wooded val­ leys. A diversion to the cobbled streets of Heptonstall gave a chance for a scone and cuppa. As walk leader John puts it: “What a day! Where were you!”

Intriguing title for tmk


A TALK with the-in- triguing title “A Smith, A Subpoena and a Cen­ tury Old Scandal” was given to Clitheroe and District Probus Club by speaker Sheila Shaw. She described how, by,


making use of a variety of family history resources, she had uncovered the romantic mystery of her great-grandmother. . Mrs Shaw said she had


travelled far and wide to study articles in local pa­ pers printed in the very


. early 20th Century and later to reveal detail of the scandal. She told club me-


mebrs that as far as the outside world was con­ cerned events started on May 8th, 1903, when a hysterical young woman was escorted from her home by hvo young men, bundled into a cab'and driven at high speed to the railway station. With this dramatic


opening the speaker pre­ sented a series of photo­ graphs showing principle family members and oth­ er digital illustrations to describe the story of love behveen the lady of the house and the groom. Some of the story was related first hand by the speaker’s mother, who


at one stage had to tes­ tify in the High Court in London. Detailed detective


work applied by the speaker to records dat­ ing back to the mid-19th


- Century was described and Mrs Shaw explained that one problem she encountered was the name of an important character, Albert Smith - an unfortunate name for anyone delving into family history due to the number of Smiths to be found in the records. For many years the


speaker has researched her family and most of the story is now clear - but inevitably there will always a bit more on which to check. Having followed both the dra­ ma of the story and the speaker’s intricate de­ tective work, club mem­ bers were able to ask questions before a vote of thanks was given by Probus member Derek Woodhall. 0 Qitheroe and Dis-


■ trict Probus Club meets on the first and third Fridays of the month, at 10-45 a.m. in the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Clithe­ roe. Enquiries to 01200 429207.
