reporters have been look ing forward to moving into a modern office, as I cleared my desk and packed my belong ings into a box to take to the new place, I had a lump in my throat. I began recalling the very first day I began my ca reer in localjournalism at the King Street office. - On September 8th, 2003, I joined The Clitheroe Adver tiser and Times as a trainee reporter. It seems like a long

time ago, but I must admit, time has flown. On my first day, old schooljournalist Tim Procter, who sadly died of a heart attack a month after I started, gave me a tour of the town. Among the first sights thatreallycaughtmy attention were the town’s pretty shops and stunning panoramic views from Clitheroe Castle. I was delighted to work
in such a beautiful town and within weeks I discovered that more than providing a news service, the newspaper was part of the community itself and held in high regard, with
people reading it from cover to cover on its publication day every Thursday. Over the years we have had
some good times here, worked with wonderful people who have either left for pastures new, or retired. One of the memorable times for the team was when the newspa per switched from broadsheet to the current tabloid format in 2004 - a move which was followed by a record sale for the paper in it first week as a tabloid. • There is a lot of history here, but unfortunately the building is no longer fit for purpose. The Clitheroe Ad vertiser and Times’ history goes back to 1868 with the foundation of The Clitheroe
Advertiser by John Cowgill A rival publication, The Clit heroe Times, started in 1889; the two joined forces in 1920 under the current title. And its significance has not faded with time, in fact, it still enjoys averyloyal readership. While there is a bit of nos
talgia about leaving the old office, the good news is that news team is staying in Clit heroe. So, it’s a fond farewell to the King Street office as we turn a new page in the illustri ous history of The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. • Please note, only the
news team will be based at Fern Court. For all your adver tising queries, please refer to the numbers listed on Page 2 of the newspaper.

spotted an inbound aeroplane from Rio that was carrying a certain team home from the World Cup. I could not pos- . sibly share the humour of the conversation or tell you who said what - but suggestions were made as to whether the plane should be sent to Glas gow or made to circle over the
Irish Sea (in jest of course)! The air traffic controllers en sured the team landed safely, and continued to do their important job to enable all the aircraft to continue their jour- - neys. The players were trust ing the controllers to do their
jobs well as were all those who were flying. Trust seems to be thin on the ground in Britain today. What do we trust in for

Christians believe that we
can trust God for our life jour ney and that God sent his only son, Jesus, to show us his love and to open up a way to know God as a friend and saviour . now and for all eternity. Is there someone we know
who needs our trust, help and guidance? Howcanwehelp the life journeys of each other to be cleared for take off? REV. IAN HUMPHREYS Metiiodist Minister for
