feelings known I HAVE to express my feelings of outrage at the closure of the Halifax


agency and the treatment of the staff. I was a regular customer and was


always-treated with the utmost politeness, friendliness and profes­ sionalism. The way in which the

ue banking with the Halifax, I do hope that local people will consider all the other building societies and banks in Clitheroe, which actually demonstrate customer care, and,' as I have experienced this week, switch­ ing accounts is not such a difficult job. Unfortunately this is the only way


in which we can make our feelings felt by those who have “managed” this unbelievable scenario!

^ Roefield Leisure: f ; 'l . f ,


the key points EDITOR’S NOTE: Over recent weeks our letters page has featured much correspondence about Roefield Leisure Centre, in Edisford Road, Clithcroe, focussing on its facilities, performance, plans to extend, char- tilable status.and its relationship to Ribble Valley Borough CouncU. Some of these letters are going over old ground or based on misconception. For that reason, I am publishing the letter below, both to clarify Roefield’s situa- ' tion and draw to a close current corre­ spondence on this issue:


.ough Council. The pimpose of this is to be useful,


THE Roefield Charity Trustees have asked me, in my capacity as Company Secretary, to set out some key points about the Charity Roe­ field Leisure, who controls it and our relationship with Ribble Valley Bor-


interesting and provide 100% visi­ bility. I t should also serve to correct any possible misunderstandings ’ from the letters of one particular reader.


I have chosen to present in list form the most pertinent facts about Roe­ field and its background, structure and relationship with Ribble Valley Borough Council. 1. Ribble Valley Sport and Recre­


To make this as simple as possible


: delivering a combination of activi­ ties to meet the needs of children to people of retirement-age. Our bal- '


ation is a registered charity (no. 1090921) operating as Roefield Leisure Centre. The Charity is man­ aged by a board of 10 voluntary trustees/directors and was estab­ lished in 1992 to operate the Roefield centre. The unpaid trustees are from users, other local people along with representation from town, borough and county councils. Its purpose is to provide sport and recreational activities-for the Ribble Valley com­ munities irrespective of social and' economic background. The Trust continues to meet its objectives by


.


staff have been treated, even in this day and age, beggars belief. I sin­ cerely wish them success in the future. -As to the withdrawal of the bank­


Rotarian’s thanks


for Haiti response THROUGH the pages of the Adver­ tiser, I would like, on behalf of the Rotary clubs that cover the Ribble Valley, to say a very big thank you to the people of Clitheroe.' The street collection for Haiti


raised over £1,500. This will be spent on Shelter boxes^ Many of you saw the box dis­


played in the window of number 30 .Castle Street, but if you did not you will be able to see one and its con­ tents a t number 30 Castle Street from February 15th as it is part of the “THANKS FOR LIFE” display. This display will be to highlight the


anced programme of activities enables the management to operate along commercial business lines so that concessions can be applied to fund acti-vities for key target groups.


- A charity, is no different from com­ mercial organisation in so much that its income must match or exceed its expenditure in order to survive.


- 2. Roefield operates the centre on 360 days per year and employs 37 people full and part-time. There are over 2,500 visitors per week engaging in a variety of sporting and recre­ ational actmties, thereby contribut­ ing towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle. 3. The Charity produces annual


accounts in order to comply with both charity law, under the control of the Charity Commission, and company law under the control of Companies House. These accounts are available for public scrutiny. It is not a “money-making” scheme with all that that implies. 4. The Charity receives small but


- appreciated grants from Clitheroe' Town Council (£7,876) and Ribble Valley Borough Council (£18,760). -All other revenues have to be earned via the Roefield centre activities pro­ gramme. A payment is made to Rib­ ble Valley. BC in respect of the use of Ribblesdale Pool by Roefield users. 5. Other than this grant Roefield


posing in 2009 to work together for the sole purpose of jointly re-devel­ oping the existing RVBC football changing rooms and extending Roe- field’s existing facilities. The scheme had to be aborted by both parties due to increasing costs in increasing­ ly difficult economic conditions. Roefield would have leased the land off RVBC arid paid for its own share of the buildings, as in turn would RVBC. No merger, just a one-off joint building project to build new facilities for both parties, ^ • ^ 7. Roefield is a participant mem­


ber of both the RVBC “GP Exercise on Prescription Scheme” and the “Freedom Leisure Card” scheme enabling target groups concessions to exercise. ' - \


.;:-8. Comparisons on'admission’


and RVBC-appointed trustees, Roe­ field has no other relationship wdth RVBC. Roefield has never sought, nor does its charity status allow it, to merge with RVBC. Likewise RVBC has never sought to, merge with Roe­ field. 6. Roefield and RVBC were pro­

polio in the world. , The display will also showcase the


work of Rotary in the community, with young people, and internation­ ally. All this and celebrating the organisation’s 105 birthday. Ml the entries for Rotary’s Young Photog­ rapher competition will also be on display. - There will be no charge, and peo­


ple of all ages will be welcome, so come and have a brew and a chat. Please help us to serve you.

charges between Roefield and those of most local authorities run opera­ tions cannot be made simply because of the enormous subsidies made by the respective authorities to operate its leisure centres. These subsidies come from council tax.

This will provide for complete refurbish­ ment of the existing changing rooms and corridors, a new and larger aero­ bics room and a new Junior Gym. The present position is that we are drawing up plans and costing for consultation with the planning authorities and discussing the avail­ ability of land with RVBC (in its capacity as freeholder).

regarding a donation to the Billing- ton and Whalley branch of the British Legion, namely th a t an application form for a donation had not been received from the Legion. There was a lively discussion


amongst the council members, some wanting to try and make the British


jvith the need to fill in an application form, while others argued that the

council should stick to its rules and treat all applicants equally. It was quoted by one member of


the parish council that a British Legion member had said “they had fought in two world wars for free- - dom, not to fill forms in”. Well I agree sir that they did fight for free- dom, they also fought for fair play, nd I feel this is the wrong attitude '


for fair play I USUALLY try to attend (as a member of the public) the monthly meeting of the 'Whalley Parish Council. One item on the agenda for the meeting held on January 21st was “to consider and approve grants and donations” for 2010. This is usu­ ally dealt with in a straightforward manner by the chairman, reading out each application in turn and the council members then discussing the merits of each, and if a grant is passed, how much can be paid out of the limited sum of money allocated for this purpose. This year there was a problem

No power, right or


duty to intervene THE recent action of the police in asking Facebook to close down a


. page protesting against a mosque in Clitheroe is deeply disturbing, anti­ democratic and probably unlawful. If the people posting to the protek


page have committed a criminal offence, then they should be prose­ cuted, if not then they are acting lawfully and the police have no power, duty or right to intervene.


. Doing so was a dictatorial act that infringes people's right of freedom of expression and is scarily reminiscent of George Orwell's “1984”. If the police have themselves acted


unlawfully then they should be brought to book and I would urge posters to the Facebook page to seek a judicial review of the police's action; the procedure is quite simple. GRAHAM MILNE, 39 Castle St, Norham, Northumberland
