Copy deadline for the July issue: Monday, 13 th June Boothy’s Bit Relays In my third Boothy’s Bit (Nov 2008) I put forward the opinion that taking part in relays was one of the best things about being a member of Clayton-le-Moors Harriers. Accordingly, I encouraged members to volunteer to Captains to run—as I wrote the words I suspected, realistically, that this was a forlorn hope. CleM entered 8 teams in the 2010 Calderdale Way Relay. When the postponed event finally took place on 8th May 2011, we managed to scrape together only 5 teams. Things were so desperate that, at the grand age of 60, I made my debut for the Senior A Team. (Partly because of the Committee’s policy of aiming to select only Senior runners for the A Team and a dearth of under 40 runners.) Great, you might think, but Fell Captain Neil thought that the Vets B Team might beat the Senior A Team. In the event, it was a fairly close-run thing—not healthy! It has to be said that the (postponed) 2010 CWR was not a great success. Many clubs struggled to put out their best teams—if any teams at all—and would regard fielding five teams a triumph. All were agreed that the difficulties in turning out teams were due to the time of year, competing family commitments, too many other events/races, so I was fairly relaxed about the situation, especially when our Vets Teams won the 1st & 2nd Vets Team prizes (contested by only 3 vets teams!). Reports on p6 & p20. Results p22. BUT, with the British Masters’ Road Relays, always held in mid May, at which CleM has enjoyed great success over the years, once again, we had a situation where the event was advertised in the New Year, teams were selected and advertised, only for members who had promised to run to melt away, the nearer we got to 21st May. As with the CWR, we then had harassed captains ringing round in the days/hours before the event, desperately trying to fill places: combining teams; cancelling teams. In the end we had only 3 teams: M35, M55 & M65 (out of 5 entered). It was in just such circumstances that a CleM team was disqualified from last year’s Northern 12-Stage Road Relay when, under severe pressure to put out a team (and not to disappoint 12 members who were keen to compete), our Road Captain allowed an unregistered runner to compete. Embarrassing and disappointing! In the not-too-distant past, there was intense competition to qualify for relay teams and you got into road relay teams only via a time trial. It was an honour to represent your club. More recently, with fewer members, competition has not been so great and more than a few capable, committed captains have thrown in the towel, worn down by the repeated struggle to put out relay teams—on the road, cross country and fell. The process follows a familiar pattern: initial agreement—enthusiasm, even—by more than enough members to make a decent team; a few withdrawals (not unexpectedly) over the weeks, due to injury/illness/family commitments; THEN lots of late withdrawals in the days immediately preceding the event, giving the team captain huge last-minute problems. Discussing the state of affairs with long-standing members, they sense a relative lack of pride in, and commitment to, being a member of Clayton-le-Moor Harriers (apologies to the members who can always be relied on to turn out, when selected). As Chair, I feel that one of my most important tasks is to maintain the profile and high reputation of CleM Harriers, hard won over many decades. Sadly, I’m beginning to wonder whether we ought to withdraw from relays for a while because the present situation isn’t doing a great deal for our reputation - and before the club no longer has any captains to select and organise teams. GREAT NEWS Me and my big mouth! Our magnificent M65-74 team: Barry Mitchell, Dave Scott and Ted Orrell returned from Sutton Park with GOLD MEDALS, having won their relay by a convincing margin, to be hailed as British Relay Champions. A full report will appear in the July Harrier. The M35 and M55 teams also had a splendid day out, witnessing the M65 team’s triumph before taking part in some excellent racing. Thanks to all who represented the club so well; every runner gave his all (special thanks to Richard Lawson, who was drafted into the M55 team at the last minute). I did consider changing ‘Boothy’s Bit’ (written before the event) in the light of Saturday’s results, and the ‘feel-good factor’ it engendered, but have decided not to do so, because much of it, I feel, remains valid. What do you think…….? Tony Riley On Monday, 16th May, along with a number of other CleM members, it was my sad duty to attend Tony’s funeral. Tony joined CleM in the mid 1980s, but succumbed to a rare form of motor neurone disease on 6th May, at the age of only 63. Our condolences go to Tony’s family and friends. Paul Healey has written a short appreciation on p12.

When the new date was announced for the Calderdale Relay I bet every team captain thought that they would have no trouble putting a team together: no winter colds and flu, no niggles turning to injuries in the frost, nice sunny weather to get everyone up for it and make recce’s easy… And then you speak to people at training or read the website forums…people can’t be bothered, have other ambitions and other races to run… “Shack, you’re on leg 6 with so and so” ..a few days later..”change of plan you’re running with so and so”…Friday night before the race..” Shack, you’re running with me”… It was a beautiful day, Sunday the 8 th and I arrived in Halifax around 9.30am. I recced the last mile of the altered route as requested by Captain Worswick, “Just to make sure” and chilled out with the Raynet radio lads, hassling them for news of team number 96, Clayton Vets A team. Calder Valley had stormed into a five minute lead on Leg 1 and team number 96, Andy Stubbs and Mark Aspinall, were already leading the vets race, in 24 th overall. Vets B runners Lee Clough and Andrew Foster were in 60 th position and 3 rd vets. Vets A Leg 2 runners: Ian Greenwood and Mark Wightman ran well to record 8 th fastest leg of the day, pulling back ten places to hand over in 14 th place.

  • Introducing Our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack's Family
    Introducing our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack’s Family Eliza Alice Flack (nee Parker) 1853-1900 By Ted (Edmund) Flack PhD., JP Picture of Market Street Burnley circa 1900 with acknowledgement to Lancashire Telegraph Copyright 2019 Edmund Flack The Parker – Flack Connection Our Paternal Great Grandmother, Eliza Alice Flack, nee Parker (1853-1900) It seems likely that we have heard so little about Eliza Flack, nee Parker, our great grandmother, wife of William Henry Douglas Flack, is because she died in 1900 at just 47 years of age,. Yet from the information available, she was no doubt a remarkable woman. The following family tree explains the Flack family relationship with the Parkers. 1 Eliza Alice Parker was born on 1 October 1853 in Burnley, Lancashire, the first-born child of Richard and Eliza Hartley. Our Great Great Grandmother, Eliza Flack, nee Parker lived at No.10 Hargreaves Street, Burnley in 1860 with her family. Her father was Richard Parker, listed in the 1860 Census as a Wholesale Grocer employing 7 people. The photograph shows the corner of Hargreaves Street Burnley where the Parker Grocery was located before being converted into solicitors’ offices in the 1920s. 2 1861 Census Richard Parker, Head of the Family, aged 27, Wholesale Green Grocer employing 4 men, born Yorkshire, Long Preston. Eliza Parker, Wife, aged 34, born Lancashire Burnley. Eliza Alice Parker, aged 7, born Lancashire, Accrington. Richard Hartley Parker, Son, aged 7 months, Lancashire, Burnley. Thomas Houghton, Boarder, aged 24, Assistant, Lancashire, Blackburn. Martha Ealey, Servant, Aged 25, General servant, Lancashire, Foulridge.

  • Kenneth Cameron
    KENNETH CAMERON Copyright © The British Academy 2002 – all rights reserved Kenneth Cameron 1922–2001 TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM KEN CAMERON seemed quintessentially Lancashire, but the Scottish ancestry on his father’s side, which is evi- denced in the surname, was not very far distant, and the Scottish connec- tion is seen also in his Christian name and in those of his son, Iain Stewart. His great grandfather, Angus Cameron, was a Gaelic speaker from the Fort William area. He was a builder of dry stone walls, and he came south, ini- tially to Liverpool, to find work. His wife followed him with the children, and the next two generations of male Camerons became textile operatives in Lancashire. Ken’s grandfather, Donald Cameron, also had an intriguing sideline. He was an entertainer in the Harry Lauder style, and was very successful at this: a prized family possession is a watch-chain hung with medals for his performances in northern towns. His wife would not countenance his making a full-time career of this, as she disapproved of the life-style which she thought might have resulted. Ken’s boyhood was closely linked to his maternal grandparents who ran a provisions shop in Padiham, near Burnley. When this grandfather died Ken’s parents went to live there. Ken’s mother, who had had to give up her career as a primary-school teacher when she married, eventually ran the shop. This corner shop in Byron Street is still vividly remembered in Padiham and Burnley. Ken helped in the running of it, and contempor- aries remember him flying round on his bike making deliveries after school.

  • How People Were Punished in Days Gone By
    How people were punished in days gone by In “Peek into the Past” we have examined images of Burnley town centre, the districts and villages around Burnley and a number of its parks. Thinking about what direction I should go in future articles, I found myself, earlier today, in the company of Brierfield Probus where I gave their knowledgeable members a talk entitled “Lancashire’s Calderdale”. As you will know, the Lancashire Calder is the subject of my most recent book, but, when talking to members of Probus, it occurred to me that “Peek” need not only be about buildings, districts and parks. There are an almost limitless number of features of a smaller nature each of which has a story to tell. This thought came to me when my projector was showing an image of the village stocks at Holme in Cliviger. They were there for a purpose. In fact, at one time, every parish or township had to have its stocks, or equivalent. Burnley not only had its stocks but the medieval village also had a whipping post and a ducking stool as well. These, what we think of as quaint features of times past were, when in use, important parts of our punitive system. They constitute some of the means by which miscreants were punished and humiliated, the latter no longer a feature of the system itself. Whether the systems described today were successful or not is not the point. There may be another opportunity to assess that. Similarly, I am not going to say all that much about the individual crimes and misdemeanours for which the stocks, whipping post and ducking stool were thought to be correctives.

AA ETHODISM in East Lancashire covers a period of history of / y almost one hundred arid sixty years. The pioneers of Methodism were Darney and Grimshaw, but John Wesley himself appeared on the scene more than a century and a half ago. The frontispiece is a reproduction of a portrait of him as he was when he first visited East Lancashire. The portrait is the only one of the kind known to be in existence, and adorns one of the rooms of Dids- bury College, by the governor of which institution, the Rev. R. Green, kind permission to reproduce it has been granted. The important position which Methodism has taken in East Lancashire called, in the opinion of the author, for some permanent record of its origin and progress. Nearly twenty years ago he began to collect materials for such a book, never dreaming that he himself would have the responsibility of publishing it. The fathers of Method- ism have, however, passed away so rapidly that it was felt that, if the the opportunity were not seized, not only would the advantage of living memories be lost, but many of the records would be dispersed beyond recovery, and the compilation of a satisfactory record become impossible.
