Advertisers' products and services are not endorsed by the committee. Copy deadline for the July issue: Monday, 8th June 2015 LETTER Dear Editor, Please can someone explain why after over thirty years of starting at 7pm, summer training has been moved to 6.30pm, with as far as I am aware, no explanation or consultation with the membership. Regards, Peter Browning 2 BOOTHY’S BIT April and May have been an extremely busy time for the club with races galore on the roads, trails and fells, plus weekly Parkruns!. At the beginning of April, David Bailey and his team organised the Pendle Fell Race which, with its associated junior races, incorporated the Lancashire Fell Championships. 41 senior and 19 junior Harriers competed. Congratulations to Lancashire Champions: Briony Holt (FU14), Alan Life (M50), Pete Booth (M60) and Katy Thompson (F60). [Results on p18 & p26.] At the end of the month there was another very busy weekend with 9 members making the long trip to the Virgin London Marathon on Saturday and 25 tackling the Three Peaks Fell Race the following day. Special mention must go to Kieran Carr for smashing the V70 record, Katy Thompson for her 21 st completion of the race and to El Presidente, Dave Scott for his 48 th ! [A report on a special day for Dave is on p6.] The weekend of the 16 th /17 th May saw the British Masters’ Road Relays on Saturday, with the Calderdale Way Relay on Sunday. 35 members made up 10 road relay teams, while there were 48 members in our 4 CWR teams. By my calculation, 9 members ran in both relays – fantastic commitment to the club. There were some great performances in both relays. Reports and results are on pp15, 16 & 17. The following Friday and Saturday, 22 nd /23 rd May, 58 members (over a quarter of the total entry) ran in the club road championship Colne 10K, while 38 seniors and 20 juniors took part in the closed club fell races at Barley on Saturday afternoon. Club members are ‘flying the flag’ and enjoying a wide range of events and activities, which are encouraged and reported on in great detail on the club’s Facebook pages and website. A small number of members are working tirelessly each week to keep everyone informed. In this age of instant communication this means that the committee has decided that the role and format of this Newsletter should change. There’s a message from Chairman Jim regarding the Newsletter ‘s future overleaf. ….and finally A very belated welcome to Fabienne Richmond. Fabienne didn’t get a welcome in the Newsletter when she joined last year. My apologies! 3 THE HARRIER NEWSLETTER The monthly newsletter has served the club well for a long time, and I know that many members will be sorry to see it go. However, I share the committee’s view that a bi-annual full colour magazine available in printed form to all members will be a better way of providing a permanent record of our achievements. I will be very happy to receive any suggestions for ensuring that the website provides information in the most effective way when the newsletter ceases publication. Of course, for the magazine to happen we need an Editor. It’s envisaged that the magazine will contain running related articles written by members as well as reports and results from important races. The Editor will need to be significantly involved with the club’s activities, will therefore be well placed to spot topics that will interest members, and will encourage potential authors to write articles. An interesting magazine will set our club apart from all the other local clubs, further reinforcing that we are the best. So if you think you could be Magazine Editor, please get in touch with myself or any committee member without delay! Jim Hickie Chair British Athletics Fell & Hill Relay – 17 th October 2015 YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU! The event will be based in Barley with the start/finish area on Barley Green. On the weekend of the event we will need the help of a large number of members to ensure that everything runs smoothly. We intend to appoint team leaders who will recruit their own teams to carry out the tasks required. Teams: Car Parking (Friday and Saturday) Marshal and Check Point officials: (Friday & Saturday) (Team Leaders Peter Browning & Pete Booth) Start/Finish/Results (Saturday) Event Field (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) (Team Leader: Neil Hardiman) If you would like to head up a team currently without a leader, please contact Mike Wallis. Should you wish to volunteer for any of the teams, please contact the team leader direct, or Mike. 4 CLAYTON-LE-MOORS HARRIERS OFFICIALS 2014-15 President Dave Scott: 01282 693867 Chairman James Hickie: 01254 246658 Secretary John Wilcock 01282 425699/07970 828167 Treasurer Mike Eddleston: 01254 397545 or 07951 424780 Membership Secretary Adrienne Olszewska : 07510 764394 Media Manager Adrienne Olszewska : 07510 764394 Social Secretary Anne Marie Greenwood: 01254 237485 Junior Co-ordinators Marion Wilkinson : 07940 418603 Andy Armstrong: 07971 001583 Race Promotions Coordinator Mike Eddleston: 07951 424780 Elected Member Geoff Smith: 07789 357013 CAPTAINS Men’s XC Vacant Ladies’ XC Irene Roche 07919 077485 Men’s Road & Trail Tom Brewster 07709 610225 Ladies’ Road & Trail Angela Shian 07972 039560 Men’s Fell Dave Motley 07810 895862 Ladies’ Fell Jean Brown 07712 003064 5 A Secret Surprise! Once upon a time on 29 April 1973 Justine Scott was taken to her first '3Peaks' in a pushchair to watch her dad, then aged 30, run the race. She continued every year to watch and cheer him on with her younger brother, various friends and eventually a husband, until 2005 when she went to live in Denver, Colorado. Her dad continued to run another, and another, and another. His 'final' target was to complete a race aged 70, so joining a very small group who'd done likewise. That should have been in 2013, but that year his 70th birthday fell the day after the race, therefore running it twice as a 69 year old. So in 2014, aged nearly 71, having completed 47, she and many others thought that was the last. In recognition of all his runs Justine decided she'd like to organise a perpetual award to be given to the oldest finisher on the day, whatever their age, male or female. She contacted the 3 Peaks Committee as to whether this would be acceptable and was given the go-ahead. Dave then announced he was going to run another, in which case he could very well be the first recipient of his own award. So Justine decided to keep her plans a secret, not wishing to put any pressure on her dad......feeling delighted if he WAS the oldest on the day, but equally pleased if it was awarded to someone else. She chose and ordered her trophy 'on line' with appropriate engraving and then had the problem of where to deliver it. Not to parents' house obviously! Brother, Alistair, works and wasn't often in. Enter Val and Richard Lawson, who were let into the secret and duly took delivery. Next it was ''Mum, do you think you could give a little speech on my behalf at the presentation to explain it all?''.......and ''Uncle John, do you think you could film the presentation on your iPad and forward it to me?'' Race day arrived, 25 April 2015. I no longer stay to watch the start, just tipping Dave and his bag out at Horton and carrying on to a specified spot in the layby before Ribblehead, so Val and Richard were entrusted to deliver the precious package to Douglas Croft, who is in charge of the presentation ceremony. Dave does turn out to be the oldest entrant to start and despite a fall early on, on the stony lane, he arrived with 11mins to spare at Ribblehead, looking good! However, after a plunge in the river at the foot of Whernside he got extremely cold and when Alistair met him coming off he said he looked 90plus, never mind 70plus. He had only a minute to spare at Hill Inn where he donned more dry clothing. From there it was a very slow journey with Al over Ingleborough, so he was only just finishing as the presentation was starting, as that had been brought forward half an hour because of the cold, wet weather. Denise and a few other stalwarts cheered Dave across the finishing line and instead of his usual leisurely change at the car, he was steered somewhat unwillingly into the marquee, where to his bewilderment he was presented with a beautiful glass decanter.

    STRATEGIC STONE STUDY A Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire Published December 2011 Derived from BGS digital geological mapping at 1:625,000 scale, British Geological Survey © Lancashire Bedrock Geology NERC. All rights reserved Click on this link to visit Lancashire’s geology and its contribution to known building stones, stone structures and building stone quarries (Opens in new window http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/buildingstone?County=Lancashire ) Lancashire Strategic Stone Study 1 Introduction The bedrock geology of Lancashire is dominated by fine to very coarse-grained SANDSTONES of Carboniferous and, to a lesser extent, Permo-Triassic age. There are, in addition, locally important outcrops of LIMESTONE. The Carboniferous rocks occupy a broad swathe of the east of the county, wrapping around a Triassic ‘core’ in the lowlands of the west, which is largely buried under thick accumulations of glacial till (Quaternary). The competence of the Carboniferous sandstones is reflected in the rugged moorland of east Lancashire, which in turn is reflected in the ‘sturdy’ character of the built landscape. The limestones present in northern Lancashire and around Clitheroe bring a lighter ‘openness’ to the villages of these areas. Lowland Lancashire, meanwhile, is primarily brick country, with the exception of some Triassic sandstone pockets around Ormskirk and Heysham. The widespread availability of durable building stone led to the development of quarrying throughout central and eastern Lancashire, with Rossendale (during the 1870s) exporting vast amounts of building stone to other areas of Britain and also abroad. Only a small number of quarries produce building stone today, with most of the industry now focussing on the supply of crushed stone products.

Bowland Fells Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape North 3 North Convention, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas East (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, Yorkshire making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
