Copy deadline for the June issue: Monday, 7th May 2 Boothy’s Bit Jack Betney I received news of Jack’s death just before the April Newsletter was printed. Richard Lawson has written about his memories of Jack (p4) and has sent in a newspaper cutting about a charity fund-raising trip that Jack undertook in the 70s (p6). Andy O’Sullivan has organised a Memorial Race for Jack on 23rd May starting from the Oxford Pub, Whitworth Road, Rochdale. The race will raise funds for Mollie Campbell, a local basketball player, who is aiming for Olympic Games selection. It would be great to see a huge number of CleM members there to honour Jack’s memory and support a worthy cause. Full details on UK Results website: http://www.ukresults.net/12may.html#betney. Honour for Ron Hill Hyndburn Borough Council is to recognise Ron Hill’s immense contribution to athletics by bestowing on him the Honour of the Freedom of the Borough of Hyndburn. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, 10th July in the Hyndburn Council Chamber. It is hoped that the formal proceedings will be followed by a run or race (perhaps around the Coppice), but details have yet to be confirmed. Run of the Month—Sue Allen For the second year in succession, the March Run of the Month award has gone to Sue Allen—for the same reason: completion of all the season’s cross country fixtures. Sue wouldn’t claim to be the club’s best runner, but she is Clayton Harriers through and through. The Run of the Month judges hope that she will serve as an inspiration to other club members to represent the club at cross country (or on the road or fells, if you prefer). If Sue can do it, so can you! Mid Lancs Cross Country League Last week, I received good news from Richard Lawson who attended the MLXC League Presentation. The M60 team were gold medallists in their category. We had thought that we were runners-up to Southport Waterloo, but they had counted only 3 races, Well done to all the M60 runners who represented the club in MLXC League this season. April Newsletter—Photo Competition Last month’s cover photograph was taken by Paul Healey on an X Team excursion from Helmshore. Entitled ‘In the Picture’, the giant picture frame is an exhibit on the Irwell Sculpture Trail, a 30 mile route, featuring over 70 public works of art, that runs from Bacup to Salford Quays. If you would like to visit, ‘In the Picture’ is located next to the R Irwell at Chatterton, Nr Edenfield (SD793189), close to the E Lancs Railway. Thanks to Steve Breckell, who thought that Islay was thinking ‘Bow wow wow wow’. [Ho ho ho, ho Steve]. Islay tells me that the correct answer was: ’Pete must have shrunk in the wash. He was much taller than Martin last week.’ 3 Jack Betney 1933 - 2012 I have just returned from the funeral of Jack Betney where we joined his wife, Pat, and their family in paying our last respects to a man who was in many ways remarkable, and whose running career was threatened on more than one occasion. Born in June 1933 in Bolton, Jack had various jobs in engineering and equestrianism in the North West and Glasgow before settling into Youth Work in East Lancs. It was his involvement with horses that led to an accident to his cruciate ligaments, which were severely damaged. He was told he would never run again. Jack refused to accept this and, with great determination, he managed to continue a career in all branches of athletics achieving a lot of success along the way. Jack joined Clayton in 1968. In 1970 he was due to take part in the inaugural Pennine Way Relay attempt but was injured shortly before the day. Over a decade later, he planned second and third attempts, the second failing in atrocious weather on The Cheviot. Jack's career was threatened again when he was the victim in a near-fatal road accident near Ribchester, when an oncoming lorry driver was blinded by the sun. The medics said he would never run again, but they were wrong. We all admired his struggle to regain fitness. Jack had set himself various challenges. He ran the Rossendale Way and the Calderdale Way. He attempted the Pennine Way up and down but was unsuccessful in this. With the Northern Vets AC and Clayton, he organised the National Vets Cross Country Championships in Towneley Park and competed on the track at European level. He organised the vets Bowley races and the summer 10Ks in Clitheroe. He was Honorary Chairman and then President of the Northern Vets Assn. Jack had strong ideas on how things should be done. He was both a generous and a feisty man. I for one will miss our long phone conversations and his help. Our thoughts are with Pat and the family Richard Lawson 4 CLAYTON-LE-MOORS HARRIERS OFFICIALS 2011-2012 President Dave Scott Tel: 01282 693867 Email: dscott007[at]btinternet.com Chairman Pete Booth Tel: 01282 698268 or 07724 085873 Email: pete.booth56[at]hotmail.co.uk Vice Chairman Paul Healey Tel: 01254 384885 Email: p.healey[at]sky.com Secretary Mike Wallis Tel: 01254 822874 Email: mj.wallis[at]btinternet.com Membership Mike Eddleston, 1 Bridge Croft, Clayton-le-Moors, Secretary Accrington, BB5 5XP Tel: 01254 390757 or 07951 424780 Email: mjeddleston[at]btinternet.com Treasurer James Hickie Tel: 01254 246658 Email: j.hickie[at]btinternet.com Newsletter Editor Pete Booth Social Secretary Anne Marie Greenwood Tel: 01254 237485 mgreen8[at]hallmark-uk.com Junior Co-ordinator Marion Wilkinson Tel: 07940 418603 j.wilkinson742[at]btinternet.com Clothing Custodian Val Lawson Tel: 01282 423808 Email: valric55[at]virginmedia.com Elected Members Pete Browning Tel: 01254 607646 Email: pabrowning[at]hotmail.com Richard Lawson Tel: 01282 423808 Email: valric55[at]virginmedia.com Steve Whitaker Tel: 01282 868864 5 Jack Betney, Pat & ‘Duo’ Jack had a life-long passion for cars and motoring. In the ‘70s he owned a vintage Austin Big Seven saloon, named ’Duo’ (after the number plate). The photo (taken from the Accrington Observer, supplied by Richard Lawson), shows Jack & Pat just before they set off from Clatterbridge Hospital on Merseyside on a nine- day, 3050 mile ’grand tour’ to raise funds for cancer charities in memory of a friend and colleague, Jim Hewitt, who had died from the disease. SUMMER SERIES The Summer Series will follow the usual format: a conventional first-past- the- post race AND the more subtle art of predicting your time. (Race run without a watch!)

Calling all Witches! Would any CleM ladies be interested in following the trail of the condemned Lancashire witches as they went to their fate to Lancaster Castle from Pendle in 1612? This year is the 400 th anniversary of the arrest, trial and hanging of these unfortunate women, and to commemorate the event, I would like to organise a relay from Pendle to Lancaster. As yet, this is only the germ of an idea, and nothing is set in stone, but the route would be approximately Barrowford Heritage Centre, Barley, Downham, Grindleton, Waddington Fell, Dunsop Bridge, over the Bowland Fells to Quernmore, & Lancaster, using off-road footpaths, tracks and trails.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Bill Alley 1919-2004
    Bill Alley 1919-2004 • Played 1st Grade for Petersham and 12 matches for NSW • Professional boxer, winning his first 28 fights • Played County cricket for Somerset • Umpired 10 Test matches Bill Alley was a “legend” as a cricketer. Strangely for this left hand batsman and right arm medium pace bowler, his legendary status was earned in England after a solid grounding playing 12 times for New South Wales scoring three centuries. William Edward Alley was born at Hornsby on 3 February 1919 and went to school at Brooklyn near the Hawkesbury. His first job was on an oyster farm. He joined the Northern District Club and made his 1st Grade debut in 1938-39. After five seasons transferred to Petersham. In his early days with Petersham, he travelled to Sydney each Saturday morning returning on the paper train later that night or early Sunday morning. He was also an outstanding boxer who won his first 28 fights when he turned professional. A mishap in the nets while practising with Petersham where he sustained a broken jaw put paid to his boxing career however, and he thereafter concentrated on cricket. In his first season in 1943-44 with Petersham he scored 1,413 runs which remained the Sydney 1st Grade record for 63 years. He scored six centuries that season including tons against University (141*), North Sydney (119), Wests (100) and Mosman (111*) in successive matches. His best score was against Randwick when he hit 230 not out including 12 sixes and 21 fours with his first 100 coming in 59 minutes.

  • Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

  • West Pennine Link with the Pennine Bridleway National Trail
    Report of Meeting Date Corporate Director of General Purposes Committee 18/10/07 Governance HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 – SECTION 25 PROPOSED CREATION OF BRIDLEWAYS – WEST PENNINE LINK WITH THE BRIDLEWAY NATIONAL TRAIL PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. To consider proposals by Lancashire County Council for the creation of a network of bridleways in the Boroughs of Chorley, Hyndburn, Burnley and Rossendale as part of the West Pennine Link with the Pennine Bridleway National Trail. RECOMMENDATION(S) 2. That no objection be raised to the proposal by Lancashire County Council for the creation of a bridleway at White Coppice, Anglezarke. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) 3. Conferring bridleway status on the claimed route would recognise and thus formally protect usage of the route for horse riders. The Council has, however, no direct information on such usage of the route/paths concerned. The Council, whilst not averse to the conferral of bridleway status on the path concerned, is not seeking to promote the claim and would have no evidence to offer should the claim result in the calling of a public local inquiry. In the circumstances, the decision to raise no objection to the claim does not detract from the merits of that claim or commit the Council to support a claim about which it has no information. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED 4. The only other alternatives available would have been to endorse the claim, for which the Council has no evidence, or to oppose it, for which course of action the Council equally has no evidence. CORPORATE PRIORITIES 5. This report does not relate to the following Strategic Objectives: Put Chorley at the heart of regional Improved access to public services economic development in the central Lancashire sub region Improving equality of opportunity Develop the character and feel of Updated Template July 2007 and life chance Chorley as a good place to live Involving People in their Ensure Chorley is a performing Communities Organisation BACKGROUND 6.
