WITH the big day now less than a month away, Clithe­ roe Round Table’s team o f runners in the BUPA Great Manchester Run are upping the ante in their charity fund-


raising target. The fleet-footed four - Craig


Nicholls, Walter Aspinall, Paul Harrison and Peter Mason - are hoping to raise £1,000 for Round Table Children’s Wish - a charity which grants wishes for terminally ill children. As the days count down, they


still have some way to go to hit that target, so now they are of­ fering to run the 10-kilometre road race decked out in fancy dress, but only if more cash pledges come in. They are even letting spon­


sors suggest just what they should wear on the big day. Team spokesman Craig Ni­


cholls explained: “Obviously costume ideas that are easy to get hold of and comfortable to ■ run in will be more likely to be chosen, but all suggestions will be considered. “If anyone wants to put for­ ward a costume idea then they

reached the final of the Lucas Shield - the knockout competition for clubs in the East Lancashire League -


for the first time in


its history after a hard fought match against Blackburn Crusaders. The first game to


finish was on board four, where Phil Tit- terington had a steady draw. The match then


went in Clitheroe’s favour when Paul Timson on board one refuted his opponent’s over-aggressive open­ ing play and launched a stunning counter­ attack which led to a quick win. On board two, Paul


Fallon was under some pressure, but cleverly sacrificied some material to


/equalise the posi- ;'tion and a draw was 'agreed. The match


/score was then equal­ isedwhen Clitheroe


^^lost bn board five. i\>:This left the final

served and highly evoca­ tive. The exhibition.is free and can be viewed at Whal­ ley Library until the end of the month during normal library opening hours.

Ben's boots bestride borough


FOUR years ago, in March 2006, Ben Brown laced up his well-worn walking boots and set out on a re­ markable challenge. Now, 838 miles later, he has com­


pleted that challenge - to walk every public right of way within the borough ofRibble Valley. / Ben, who is secretary of the Clithe­


roe Ramblers group, took up a “Use Your Paths Challenge” from the na­ tional Ramblers Association, now simply known as the Ramblers. Al­ though the challenge ofiBcially ended in December 2007, Ben continued with his task. Not only did he walk every yard of


the public footpath network, he also systematically logged every rickety stile, missing finger post and obstruct­ ed path, each to be reported to Lan­ cashire County Council for action. Within Grindleton parish alone he recorded some 50 footpath problems. Protecting our rights of way net­


SHANKS'S PONY: Ben Brown records another footpath problem on his 838-mile trek of the Rib- ble Valley, (s)


work for the present and future gen­ erations is one of the prime aims of the Ramblers, and Ben’s dedication to this cause is certainly outstanding.-
