helped organise a massive bazaar to raise £580 and free their new church and school from debt. The four-day “Coro­ nation Bazaar” saw members of the con­ gregation working hard to prepare stalls, decorate the school in the colours of red, white and blue and prepare the food. Nice sunny weather ensured all the villag­ ers turned out and the chairman thanked everyone for attending and supporting the event. He praised the community spirit of the local folk and especially the organisers who had rallied together in the preparations in a bid to raise the money and pay off the debt.


PLANS to build 150 houses off Henthom Road, Ciitheroe, were being explored. A team of developers in Stockport had secured seven acres of land below Mill- thorne and wanted to build semi-de­ tached houses on it. More houses, by a different firm, were also planned to be built on De Lacy Street, Ciitheroe. • The Wesleyans of Waddington


Carl - together with a hard working com­ mittee - set about putting the club in a strong position off the field. Not even the snipers can have a go at what has been achieved in the past five years, but now is the time to get things right ON the field. I have personally known Carl for more


than 16 years and, believe you me, al­ though he will be the first to admit he’has no experience at this level of manage­ ment, his knowledge of the non-league scene and football in general is second to none. He will be out there looking for new


blood to bring into the club with a view to building a successful team for years to come. This is not Abramovich taking the reigns


may just have a few people thinking again and the snipers putting their guns down. He said to judge him by Christmas and, who knows, by then the people of Ciithe­ roe may hopefully realise that they have the “Special One”.

“sole” into cutting the ribbon along with Ribble Valley’s Mayor, Coun. Lois Rimmer, who strug­ gled to keep a straight face. During the day hun­


dreds of people turned out to meet Frank and were left with aching ribs from his humour and fun­ ny stories. Jean Forshaw, manager


of the stylish new store, commented: “We had a lovely day, Frank kept us all highly entertained throughout the day.”

GOING was heavy at the Sawley point-to- point races, but that did not deter thou­ sands of people who streamed to the pop­ ular event by car, bus and on foot. They flocked to the beautiful hillside racecourse to see many of the finest point-to-point horses in the North in strenuous compe­ tition. Saturday dawned bright and dry and thankfully the rainclouds had disap­ peared. Mrs A. E. Dickinson, of Gisbum, was a popular rider and she carried most of the money on the horse she owned. Flight 062. However, Gold Fiield, which started at 3-1, won easily on the second time round. • The last ball to be arranged at Clit-


heroe’s soon-to-close King Lane Hall was attended by about 550 people. It was the fourth one to be held by ICl (Ciitheroe) Sports and Social Club. MC for the event was Mr E. J. T. Thompson, chairman of the club, and music was provided by Leo Beers and his band, of Preston. It marked the end of an era for the town.

SPECIAL messages were sent to Her Majesty the Queen on her 60th birthday by the Ribble Valley and Clithcroc town councils on behalf of local people. The town also “flew the flag” from the castle and town hall to mark the occasion. • Hillards supermarket celebrated


it’s centenary year by handing over a “gi­ ant cheque” for £2,200 to the MENCAP charity. Fund raising activities had in­ cluded a trolley push from the Clithcroe store in King Lmc to the Bolton store. • Daredevil mum Julie McGlynn


was saying a big thank you to doctors and nurses at a baby care unit by tasting the “high life”. Mrs McGlynn (24), of Brownlow Street, Ciitheroe, was hop­ ing to raise £1,000 for the special unit at Queen’s Park Hospital, Blackburn, by taking part in a sponsored parachute jump. The high-flying idea came to her after her daughter was born five weeks prematurely and had to spend five days in a ventilator at the unit.


ANNA WORSLEY


THIS month’s Ciitheroe Li­ brary Relay Reader competi­ tion winner is Anna Worsley, a Year 3 pupil at Pendle Primary School in Ciitheroe. Anna’s review of the book


“Sleepovers”, by Jacqueline Wilson, recounts the story of five best friends, who have slee-


^Sleepovers^


pover parties for their birth­ days. Anna comments: “The best bit is when Chloe thought her friend Lily was a ghost and was frightened. Chloe had been mean throughout the whole book, so this was quite good revenge!” Anna went on to explain why Daisy was her favourite character: “Daisy was very kind and thoughtful. She was worried about having her friends over for a sleep- over as her sister had special needs. The story was told from


.her point of view. I could un­ derstand her feelings and I felt sorry for her when Chloe was being mean.” Anna’s hobbies include at­


tending Brownies and swim­ ming and she enjoyed writing this review all the more as Jac­ queline Wilson is her favourite author.

Mr Evans said: “I am a huge supporter of Carers Week as it gives an opportunity for so­

end this care is vital for qual­ ity of life, and to society that care is invaluable. The carers deserve our salute 365 days-a- year, but it should be publicly recognised in this way.”
