STUDENTS from Ribblesdale High School Technology College did an excel­ lent job at an interpretation of the tuneful Gilbert and Sullivan .operetta “The Mika­ do”. The audiences that turned upto Rib­ blesdale to watch the performance were in stiches laughing at Geoffrey Menzies’ facial expressions, and the pupils interpre­ tation of the drama set in Japan.

WHEN Clitheroe pool player MrTrevor Speak suggested a 24-hour long match at

Before anyone had time to chalk a cue, fellow member of the Central Working Men’s Club in Whailey Road, Clitheroe, Bill Gron- wald, had taken him up on ^ e idea.
