At the end of an informative, but technically challeng­ ing, lecture, the large audi­ ence could all distinguish between a crest and the main elements of a coat of arms, even if they could not translate all the me­ dieval French terms that were used. The talk was well-presented by a knowl­ edgeable enthusiast.


Bell Ringers The bell-ringers of St Wil­ frid’s Church, Ribchester, enjoyed a very successful dinner, held at The Shire- burn Arms, Hurst Green. More than 50 people sat down for an excellent meal together. Tony Davies or­ ganised the social occasion which was an opportunity for the whole village to cel­ ebrate the bell ringers’ ef­ forts throughout the year, calling people to church and for marking the rites of passage of marriages and funerals. Tower captain Clare Levick invited all to go along and learn more about campanology.

Thanks Two weeks ago, Christopher Ratcliff appealed for the loan of a pair of fisherman’s waders, so that he could get acro.ss to the shingle island opposite the school to clear up the rubbish that the winter floods had brought downstream. Maureen, one of his kind friends in the village, responded by offering to lend a pair that belonged to Derek, her late husband. Mr Ratcliff will now have to wait until the river is low enough to wade across safely.
