Archers welcomed the public to see and sample their an­ cient sport despite the rain.


The Bowmen of Pendle and Samlesbury, based at Nab’s Head Lane, Samlesbury, were doing their bit'for Archery GB’s national Big Weekend 2014, inviting the public to have a shot at archery. Dozens ofpeople turned up to try their hand with bow and arrows and meet club members. Club chairman Di Clarke


said: “Although the weather obviously put many people off, it was great to see so many others come and have a go. We had a great time sharing our passion for archery. “We were extremely busy


on Saturday morning, but unfortunately the weather deteriorated as the day went on and numbers dropped off during the afternoon. “Nevertheless, everybody


who did come really enjoyed themselves and there was quite a lot of interest shown from people of all ages. Quite a


fewpeople signedupforoneof our beginners’ courses, so we hope to be welcoming a whole host of new members soon.” The Bowmen are currently


extending their clubhouse to create an indoor range which will complement the shoot­ ing field. Once it is finished,


theywillhavesomeofthebest facilities in the country. Di added: “The indoor


range will allow members to come and shoot whatever the weather and get round the problem we had at the week­ end- if the weather is bad we can simply move indoors. Rain needn’t stop play. “As it was, a fewhardy souls


still braved the afternoon’s constant downpour to prove that archery can be a sport for all weathers.” Helping out at the open


day were 18 volunteers from the club, including nine coach­ es. A pop-up cafe serving hot and cold drinks and cakes and biscuits donated by members was run by four junior club members-WillAubrey, Mar­ tha Blinkhorn, Chris Hol­ mes and Lewis Imeson - and raised more than £70 for the indoor range.


Club members Mike Aubrey, Craig Holmes, John Holmesand Darren Starkie atthe open day. and (below) Elliot Orme (8) is shown how to shoot by club member Mark Blinkhorn.


The Bowmen ofPendle and


Samlesbury is open to mem­ bers from the age of eight and has regular coaching sessions, internal competitions, social events and a thriving junior club. “Three of our juniors will


be shooting for the county in a couple of weeks,” said Di. “We’re all very pleased about that. They do us proud.”

Mystery of ‘white’ tap water solved


Water pipes across East Lancashire were returning to normal by Tuesday fol­ lowing reports of “bubbles in the water” over the Bank Holiday weekend. United Utilities report­


ed that engineers had traced the event to a local pumping station in the Ribble Valley. Customers had called


the company’s emergency helpline reporting “white water” coming from their taps. Large parts of Black­ burn, Clitheroe, Mellor and Langho were all affected. The supplier said on


Tuesday: “Investigations point to a local pumping station and fluctuatingpres- sure in a large 30 inch water main which feeds local com­ munities through a network of smaller four-inch pipes. “Air was sucked into the


pipe causing the ‘white wa­ ter’ effect creating millions of tiny air bubbles to form. The bubbles are harmless and clear naturally when left to stand.” Water engineers are pa­


trolling the area checking thousands of miles of pipes to ensure all bubbles have fizzled out.
