An intimate evening for approximately 60 guests at Northcote Manor raised more than £3,550 to support families in the Ribble Valley. The Raised in Ribble Valley gourmet dinner was organised by volunteer Margaret Evans, of Wilp- shire, to support Child Action North­ west’s Jigsawproject, which provides free therapeutic counselling for fami­ lies experiencing crisis. Entertainment was provided by versatile singer and,


musician Paul Dobie, with a guest spot by local duo The Remedy. It was supported by Ted and Liz Walms-


ley, of Live Ribble VaUey Magazine, and attended by high profile business peo­ ple, with donations of raffle prizes from local companies. Fund-raiser Nicola Terry said: “This was the first event

“THE PROPOSED £320,000emergency centre at Clitheroe Civic Hall has come under renewed attack from the Ribble Valley Council’s Labour ranks. It was an emotive issue for Clitheroe people, who felt that . the money could have been spent on other more pressing needs in the borough. The council heard that Tewkesbury Council had turned its backon a similar scheme, despite a Government directive to provide a network of emergency centres as a preparation for nuclear war or large scale civil disasters. The committee's request for an extra £21,000 for the emergency centre, taking the scheme to almost £320,000, had earlier received the approval of the Policy and Resources Committee."

road that was closed for about six weeks for the strengthen­ ing of a bridge. The bridge in question had been deemed too weak to carry the heavier loads of today’s lorries, etc andwastobedemolished and completely rebuilt to bring its weight limit up to the required standard. , .... Human beings also have


their load limits, which vary from person to person. Some


people can bear the pressure of a demandingjob or difficult home life better than others. Others can cope with se­


vere temptations, while still others crumble and give way easily to the many ups and downs that come to most of us everyday. At times circumstances


. But the Lord knows our limi­ tations and never allows any temptation to enter our life that exceeds bur strength and ability to endure. The apostle Paul says: “No


temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allowyou to be tempt- edbeyondwhatyouareable,. but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you will be able to bear it”


(1 Corinthians chio V13). Sn when trials and temn-

" heavenly father knows the limits of your ability to stand up under the pressure of life. Draw upon His strength. No temptation will ever be greater than that. This brings to mind the


words of Jesus: “Come unto • me all that are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for my yoke is easyand my bur­ den is light” (Matthew chi2 vs. 28-30). Life for many of us is not al­


ways easy. Some of us are car­ rying burdens that we feel may break us down. Just like the weak bridges, we feel we may collapse under the load. Being or becoming a Chris­

Members of the Bowmen of .Pendie and Samlesbury went for gold at the opening of their new £82,000 indoor archery range.


The club, based in Nab’s Head Lane, Samlesbuiy, has spent

Clarke said it would give club members greater flexibility over when and where they wanted to shoot. She said: “We have a fantas­


tic field which is ideal for out­ door shooting in the warmer


months, but until now we have been severely restricted when it comes to archery in winter. “We have had to hire school


and community halls for in­ door shooting, which meant

committee and members.” The club has had a suc­


cessful year, with severaljun- ior and adult archers being chosen to representthecounty in regional and national com­ petitions. “This reflects very highly on the club, and the standards
