This t^enii^ Hfor efiteriainitKint purposes only.; ' Tesco collection for foodbank


Tescp is running its fourth Neighbourhood Food Collec­ tion in a bid to collect five mil­ lion meals for people in need. Customers at Clitheroe


store will be invited to donate food in store from today (Thursday) to Saturday, as Tesco gears up to hold the biggest ever UK-wide food collection in aid of foodbanks charity the Trussell Trust and food redistribution charity FareShare. . Customers at the Clitheroe store will be given a specially


selected shopping list when they enter the store and will be asked to pick up an item of food such as long-life milk, fruit juice, tinned foods and coffee to donate at the end of their shop. Ribble Valley Foodbank


will then sort donations into emergency parcels contain­ ing three days’ supply of nutri­ tionally-balanced food which will be given to local men, women and children who are in crisis. Every foodbank recipient


has to be referred by a front­ line care professional, such as a doctor, social worker or schools liaison officer. Since openingin July, 2013,


1,260 people in the Ribble Val­ ley have been given three days’ emergency food by the local foodbank. Supermarket col­ lections are one of the main ways that it is stocked and the charity is asking people to give generously. Tesco will be topping up


total food donations by a fur- ther30%.

True to form, the day the new BMW 4 Series Convert­ ible turned up the rain came and stayed, on and off, for the entire week. I did manage to drive with the roof down on a few shortjourneys but was al­ ways conscious that the storm clouds were looming and a drenching was not far away. I had lots of fun though,


showing off my (or should I say the car’s) party piece. Pull (or push) a button and the three- piece hard-top roof takes a


mere 22 seconds (I know be­ cause I timed it) to open and close and achieves this so beautifully it is mesmerizing to watch.


Whether the roof is up or


down the 4 Series is a beau­ tiful car, in fact, I reckon it is one of the most aesthetically- pleasing cars BMW produce. It’s long, wide and low with short overhangs and beauti­ ful proportions. Although obviously a isporting car there’s no hint of muscle, the understated power hidden away ready to be released at the driver’s will. With the top in place


there’s no indication that this is anything other than a solid- roofed car; there’s no noise from either wind or road. With the car in open-top mode, the


. wind deflector, heated air-col­ lar and clever aerodynamics


mean driver and passengers are not buffeted by the wind and are kept snug even in the coldest weather - point to note though, fitting the wind deflector means you lose rear passenger space.


Boot space with the top up


is more than adequate for a large family shop, (370 litres) with it lowered, it is of course much compromised but, with a bit of careful re-positioning the 220 litres on offer can be made to work.


There’s probably not a lot I .


can say about the interior oth­ er than it is as smart and styl­ ish as the interior of any other BMWcurrentlyonthemarket with black and chrome trim and high-quality gloss fin-


' ish. Everything is just where it should be for the driver to instantly engage with the controls and the I-Drive, once


the bane of mine, and many others lives, is now so much easier and intuitive .to use. The heads-up display, which projects the speed, navigation directions, cruise control set-


-tings and posted speed limits on the windscreen in the driv­ er’s eye line is a fantastic addi­ tion. I look forward to the day when all cars can utilise this technology. Far from being a distraction it is a real asset to road safety as far as I’m con­ cerned. What’s itlike to drive? Well, I’m sure it won’t surprise you


that the driving experience is rewarding at whatever speed you’re travelling. The 4 Series is planted and stable with a very forgiving suspension which can be optimised with a dial to suit the driver’s (and the road’s) characteristics. The rear wheel drive-en­


gine in our test car, the 4351, is a straight-six three-litre petrol with 306bhp, which takes it from rest to 62mph in 5.6 seconds. Fuel consump­ tion is a claimed37.7mpg, I’ll have to take that as read as I forgot to check the real-time


reading before the car went back.


There’s not enough room


here to go into all the equip­ ment fitted on the 4-Series, save to say it is extensive, even on the entry model and ou%^ car, as well being the top of’ the range M Sport, had a fur­ ther £7,000 of goodies added. You wouldn’t expect a car


of this calibre to come cheap 4 - and it doesn’t. The on-the- road price is £45,470 and comes out at £52,365 with the extras. Some would say, a veritable bargain.

From the summer warmth of Clitheroe to the cold of Spitzbergen - with several di­ versions alongtheway-mem- bers of Clitheroe and District Probus Club were in the hands of Mr David Wymer, who in­ vited his audience to “Spot the Polar Bear”. The speaker had spent 40


years in the electrical sup­ ply industry and now enjoys walking, exploring Scandina­ via and South Africa, and cur­ rently cooks for Clitheroe’s PendleClub. He presented his pictures,


taken on a journey “up North’V Journeying from Newcas­


tle to Amsterdam to Oslo, he found it novel that on flying towards Spitzbergen from Oslo soon after 10 pm he ex­ perienced the sunrise. In that latitude sunrise and sunset were either non-existent or “all wrong”, as the sun appar­ ently followed an oval path in the sky. Spitzbergen is the largest


island of the Svalbard archi­ pelago in Norway. It borders the Arctic Ocean, the Norwe­ gian Sea and the Greenland


Sea and, with a bit of luck, it might be possible to spot a po­ lar bear. And, indeed, with many


minor expeditions to places of interest, the cruise did in- deedgetnearenoughtosixpo- larbearswhich.withtheaidof a telephoto lens, were recog­ nisable as such on the screen. The next meeting of the


Probus club will be held at the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Clitheroe, this Friday, July 4th, when Mr Paul Heslop will talk to the title “Murderous Wom­ en”. Enquiries 01254 823982.
