JL yy Even a shaky grasp of schoolboy his­ ' ■


tory should remind you that the Luddites' were a 19th Century movement of British textile artisans who protested against the'__ unwelcome changes to their lives wrought; by the technological innovations of the In- ; dustrial Revolution. . Since those changes'often put them out


of.work and left them and their families penniless and starving, it is hardly surpris­ ing that they protested. In many cases they did so by smashing up the new mecha­ nised looms which they blamed for these catastrophic changes to their lives. • Nowadays the term “Luddite” is wide­


ly used to refer to anyone who opposes technological innovation, not necessarily because it leaves them jobless and hungry (though it can still happen), but because they simply don’t like it. .■ I’m not quite a Luddite, not yet anyrvay.


I’m not actually opposed to technology - in fact I am in awe of a lot of it - I’m just finding it increasingly difficult to keep up. From computers to digital TV to sat nav to MP3 players, WiFi, broadband and

ACTION was taken by local vigilantes after the village of Sabden was targeted by garden raiders. For the past six weeks, youths from outside the district had trav­ elled into the Ribble Valley with the sole purpose of stealing flowers from local gardens. A number of locals said enough was enough and decided to lay in wait for the youths one morning, capturing the culprits at 3 a.m. “Well-merited punish­ ments’’ were dished out - including some receiving a ducking in the local brook - and it was hoped that their subsequent punishment would deter others. , . • Moor Lane confectioner Miss Seed, who had only recently taken over the premises, had to deal with a trap being backed through her shop window.

TEN records were broken at the annual sports of Riversmead School Grindleton, six being broken by boys and two by girls. Victor Ludorum was John Dawson, who broke the record for the senior boys 100 yards and the 200 yards, while Graham Southwart, who broke the senior shot putt and discus records, was runner-up. Mar­ garet Hazlewood was Victrix Ludorum and Jean Tillotson was runner-up. ® A three decker pulpit, dog whips and


swastika markings were some of the fea­ tures of ancient Slaidburn Parish Church shown to visitors on summer Saturdays by the rector. Rev. Gaze. When farmers took their dogs to services the dog whippers sat with the churchwardens and went into ac- , tion if the dogs became “restive”. -■

■ Neil McGreggor, the director of. the


British Museum, has been taking Radio 4 listeners on a 12-month journey of discov­ ery based on artefacts at the museum. His talks have unearthed not just the objects themselves, but the personal histories, beliefs, hopes and fears incarnated in the tools, trinkets and treasures reaching back to the earliest days of human history.

'the domination of a Viking king in Eng-j land.

THE vicar of Low Moor, Rev. Brian Ste­ venson, accused Ribble Valley Council of “civic vandalism” in his August news­ letter. Referring to plans to move Ciithe­ roe Auction Mart from the town centre to Salthill, he said: “It seems that every­ thing worthwhile, in this case something ■that has helped to create Ciitheroe as a


' market town, has to be planned out of existence; What a pity it is that we allow such things to'happen,.and in the name of progress at that.” 9 A thunderstorm and torrential rain,


yielded over an inch of rain, flooding houses, swelling rivers and cutting the electricity supply to Newton, Wadding- ton and Slaidburn. Ironically, the storm followed the hottest day of the holiday.


SCOUTS and Cubs from Ciitheroe were this week enjoyiong their troop’s first Summer Camp. ;


: ■ ; Last Saturday the 1st Ciitheroe Scout Troop set


off for Wales for a week of fun and activities under canvas and in the great outdoors. The Troop was formed last year with 10 boys and girls moving up from the Cub Pack. Since then


it has grown to 18 members. They are camping for a week at a site on the shores of a lake near Bed- dgelert, in Snowdonia. For the first four days, five Cubs were also joining in the camp. The young people arc camping in small groups


called Patrols and cooking their own meals. The packed programme will include canoeing, hill walking and visits to places of interest.
