game is constructed, to borrow a biblical analogy, on foundafions not of rock but of sand. The burning gaze of a clubhouse full of hardened experts is, therefore, more than enough to unravel my round. The start of a round always has the po
tential for embarrassment. As the first hole is normally located near to the club house, you are usually guaranteed an au dience. ■ On one occasion, I was preparing to
take my chances with a driver off the first tee when a group of players appeared behind us. Normally this would send me scurrying back to my bag for some more conservative club, but on this occasion, I recklessly decided to stick to my guns. The result was not ideal, as the ball swung away to the right at a brisk pace,
coming to rest in a forbidding and cavern ous bunker. A member of the party be hind, with the air of a man preparing for a long wait, sighed: “Come on Jim, get your
coffee out”. As well as the impatient fellow player,
another inhabitant of the golf course to be wary of is the ruthless enforcer of club
rules. These darkly officious figures of au thority can be seen darting out from be hind trees or out of bunkers, brandishing their rule books like rapiers. I cannot be expected to perform to the
best of my ability when some fierce com mittee member is peering at my golfing at tire, on the lookout for non-tailored shorts or other evidence of wrongdoing. It is essential, when under scrutiny on
the golf course, to engage in occasional acts of deception. Even a golfer of my
valley Graduate David makes a splash
A MATURE student from the Ribble Valley is to make a splash as an underwater photog rapher after setting up his own business. David Morgan, from Brockhall Village, has
; modest talents will, by the laws of physics . occasionally pull off an uncharacteristi
cally, brilliant shot, snatching a par from the jaws of a bogey. •• If you happen to have an audience on
such a joyous occasion, it is important to resist the urge to break into wild celebra tion, thus betraying the fact that you have just played your best shot since a long putt in January 2008. Instead; you pick up your ball, stony
faced, and proceed to the next tee, leaving the spectators under the erroneous im pression that they have seen merely one in a glorious succession of pars. . I would not consider myself, in general
life, to be ah especially nervous, or neu rotically self-conscious person. When I step onto a golf course, however, all that changes. Why do I keep playing, you ask? Why
do I endure all,the run-ins with authority and the embarrassing shanks? I keep play-, ing because every so often there is a magi-; cal round.

And the 53-year-old, who had to leave his previous job due to ill health, is even hosting his own exhibition to mark the launch of his career. David said; “I have always wanted to get
a degree, I just needed the time and motiva tion to do it. After going to see the College’s end of year art show, I was bowled over by th e. teachers and talented students and I knew I had to go for it. “I have enjoyed every minute of the three
years, especially the enthusiasm and inspira tion of my fellow students, and I have made some very good friends.” David is currently hosting an exhibition at
the Green Room at Barton Grange Garden Centre.

A LETTER was published this week as submitted to the manager of Grindleton Primary School: “We recommend an advance of £5 per annum on the head teacher’s salary, in consideration of the exceedingly good report made by His Majesty’s Inspector on the school this year. The report was hugely complimen tary of the way’the school was run. It transpired that the present salary was £90 and the average attendance at the school was 64 pupils. It was suggested that good work ought to be recognised by giving a bonus instead of increasing the salary and a motion that the increase be made did not find a seconder. Eventually, after much discussion, it was decided that no action at all should be taken.

CRGS’S Headmaster expressed his wor ries about the influence of popular culture on the morals of boys: “It is not surpris ing that boys think the normal morals of adults are those to be found in ‘Room at the Top’ and ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’ - and its partly our fault,” said Mr Gerald Wood. When an intelligent sixth former opened his newspaper and saw the emphasis on the vast fortunes to be won, the necessity of having the very latest model of car, or the curiously un explained link between sexual attraction and a certain brand of cigarettes, it was not surprising he should begin to wonder whether the normally accepted moral standards might not, after all, be accu rately reflected in those books.

remove their pews and replace them with comfortable chairs. This month it has finally happened! On
Sunday the 6th of Novemeber we held a service to celebrate and give thanks for the new worship and community space that has been created. .We remembered the Gospel story and
we remembered also the story of our own Reformed denomination. We remembered too the relationship
between worship and service; our faith and our works. I f is our relationship with God, our love of Christ that compels us to love and care for our communities and the world about us.
. Whilst we worshipped we discussed and remembered our favourite Bible stories. One passage someone mentioned was the
30R a long time now the mem- I bers of Clitheroe United Re formed Church have wished to
story where Jesus went into the Temple and saw the corrupt moneychangers mak ing money at the expense of the poor. His response was to overturn their tables and
chase the moneychangers out. He was very angry! His act was symbolic of the new world
order of peace and justice that he had come to proclaim; a new and radical way of behaving that simply calls for us all
to love God and our neighbours as our selves! The passage was chosen because of the
financial crisis that is hitting not only the Euro zone but is having repercussions all over the world including in our own country. One of the reasons for the crisis is the corruption and greed and power of large corporations and banks, along with their top executives, who make massive amounts of money at the expense of oth ers. And it turned out that many other people had remembered this story and
this was the reason! This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday
and Friday is Armistice Day. It is tradi-* tionally remembered at the eleventh hour of the eleventh month to mark theanm-/ versary of the end of the first world war.. The first world war was dubbed the war; to end all wars”, a phrase coined by H. u- Wells and used by Woodrow Wison. Anu,j yet war continues and the “next war is ah.
ways the war to end war”. And why? Usually because of the cor
ruption and greed and lust for power y those who govern. The same reasons tnar^ lie behind the financial crisis.

AN advertising feature in the paper this week foretold of new technology that would change television viewing dra matically: “Space age technology will give you non-stop sport, news, and music., on your television from all around the world. Demonstrations of the breath-; taking steps technology has taken are: available at Handleys Aerials showroomc in Barden Lane, Burnley. We will sopnl have all the equipment you need to pick) up’Satellite television programmes from many countries”. Owner Mr Mike Han dley said: “The potential for satellite TV is endless. As they send up new satellites, programmes from all over the world will1 be coming to our screens. The world isG definitely going to shrink!’
Maher were temporarily transformed into an art gallery to mark the Ribble Valley launch of Age UK Lancashire, formerly known as Age Concern Lancashire. The exhibition featured work from two
prominent local artists, sculptor Clare Bigger and painter Jo Taylor, spread over four rooms m the historic Chenery Maher offices next to Clitheroe parish church. Visitors, who included local dignitar
ies and volunteers and service users from Age UK Lancashire, were treated to can apes and champagne (kindly donated by Huntroyd Estate Simulated Game and Clay Pigeon Shoot), alongside a feast of artwork, which was skilfully lit by Blue Door Designs. Over two days more than 150 people at
tended the exhibition and £941 was raised for Age UK Lancashire from the sale of artwork and a raffle - a sum which Chen ery Maher has generously offered to make up to £1,000 for the charity. Geraldine Moore, Chief Officer at Age UK Lanca shire, said: “For 60 years we have been working across Lancashire to improve the lives of older people in this county.

VISITORS from Galloway’s Society for the Blind spent their third activity day at Gazegill Organic Farm, at Rimington. . Activities during their visit included continuing the
board walk for trampers and walkers as well as dry stone walling. One group helped clear a fallen tree from a watercourse and made a bug hotel with the
•
smaller.branches and twigs. Following lunch, activities were brought to a close
and visitors had the chance to experience tractor driv- ing on the farm. Lynn Garside, the group co-ordina tor commented: “While undertaking activities here on the farm our participants can experience a sense of freedom while giving something back. Everyone worked very hard and some playtime for the guide dogs was a welcome distraction.” The group intend to return in the New Year to make sausaees and hand chum butter.
