Young formers Fivejunior members


organised last week’s meeting and the team decided to hold a members vs advisory commit­ tee games night. Members met at Waddington Social Club for


an evening of table top and traditional pub games. The meeting attracted a


recordnumberofattendees • and it is hoped that this event I will become a firm fixture on the club programme. Teams of four took part in pool, darts, Jenga, pickup sticks, cards, Twister, and cracker eating. The evening was great fun, with a real sense of competition between the “old” advisory and the younger members. The games resulted in a tie - the tie breaker was a water only boat race which allowed the advisory team to pinch the trophy. A short meeting followed,


during which Callum Smalley, club chair wished the cookery team and floral art team well as they represent Lancashire at the National Finals at the Three Shires Showin Malvern this weekend. Next week’s meeting is at Lee Valley Golf Range, Rishton. Members are asked to either meet at the village hall car park for 7 pm or meet at the golf range at 7-30 pm prompt.


Social Manor Residents at The Manor


House, Chatburn, have been busy with social events, trips • and entertainers. Mike Hammer, originally


in Herman’s Hermits, was requested back by popular demand. He gave a fabulous afternoon’s entertainment covering the 50s and 60s. Mike told humorous stories as well as drawing charcoal portraits of the singers he was imper­ sonating. Persistent rain during the


coach trip to Southport didn’t dampen the spirits of the resi­ dents. It did mean the picnic had to be undercover, and was


then followed by shopping. The scenic route was eqjoyed by all on the way home. A ‘flipping’ good afternoon


was had when Colin Darling­ ton demonstrated his skills in making delicious crepes in the conservatory on his special hot plates. Residents chose their filling and eryoyed their crepes with an afternoon cuppa.

Two local organisations have worked together to provide a defibrillator for a Ribble


Vaileyvillage. Thanks to a donation from the Masonic Community Fund, made by members of


Downham WI. Dan had very kindly stepped in as speaker at the last minute. Members were greeted


with a glass of Buck’s Fizz to mark the centenary of the WI. The hall had been beauti­


fully decorated with balloons and bunting in WI colours by Rosemary Norgrove and Eileen Parker. Mr Hill talked about the


work the foundation does rais­ ing money for the Rosemere CancerTrust. The Rosemere Cancer Trust serves the area of Lancashire and South Cumbria and the foundation supports the trust by rais­ ing money for equipment over and above what the NHS provides. It is based in the ra­ diotherapy department at the Rosemere Cancer Centre in the Royal Preston Hospital. Al­ though many members knew and some had experience of the Rosemere Cancer Centre, they were unaware of the great work the foundation does in raising money for projects to support hospitals in different parts of Lancashire and South Cumbria, as well as helping patients in a range of ways including the provision of complementary treatments. One piece of equipment they have allocated funds for was a live function monitor at the Royal Blackburn Hospital. Blackburn is the regional


centre for the treatment of liver disease and the only hos­ pital outside London that has


this equipment. Rosemere’s I latest fundraising effort is to

Parish council The council held its meet­


ing at the United Reformed Church on Wednesday. Present were chairman Mrs Doreen Collinson, vice chairman Mrs Gill Rostron and Couns William Harrison, Richard Hanson and Peter Collinge. Apologies were received from Coun. Richard Bennett who is also the bor­ ough councillor. In the village newsletter an appeal will be made for two more parish councillors.


Shelter repairs There was concern over


thestateofthebusshelteron Whalley Road. The proposal to replace it was agreed unani­ mously by council members. The parish plan was discussed at length and is still ongoing.

on the allotments which had been broken into but nothing was taken. There are four new allotment holders, but still a long waiting list.


Council proposals There was a proposal to


have a Christmas tree decorat­ ed with lights on the Church r Street green area. Hopefully


this will go ahead, but due to the cost, fundraising events


will have to take place. Beside the cost of the lights it was pro­ posed that picnic benches will also be provided permanently. There is a small problem at the moment with the parish council noticeboard which is sited at the bottom of Jubilee Street near the village bakery. It was proposed that a new noticeboard be placed beside the old one to publicise village events and organisations.


Road issues Straits Lane has a big


problem with numerous cars parking partially and some­ times wholly on the footpaths. Two members of the public were present at the meeting of the parish council and in the public participation, they expressed concern over pot holes appearing in the road needing urgent repair, over­ grown bushes, shrubs and trees preventing members of the public walking on the footpath causing them to step into the road.


ReadFC The lease and licence for


Read FC will shortly come up for renewal and will be dis­ cussed at a future meeting.
