Live Simply Thought of the Week:
Now the nights are drawing in, please turn lights on when absolutely necessary and remember to turn off when not needed.
Before going to bed, unplug electrical appliances instead of leaving on standby. In the UK, up to £80 can be saved by unplugging these appliances.
Cutting back on energy consumption reduces the amount of electricity that power plants have to make, subsequently reducing the amount of fossil fuels that are burned each day.

The Ladies Group are hoping to restart their monthly meetings sooooooon!
The first will be on
Wednesday, 29th September

It will be lovely to see you all again and catch up on the news.
Please be assured that we will do all we can to sanitise and make the room safe.
The Speaker will be Shirley Penman, a local lady, whose talk is about the men
of our parish who died in WW1, WW11 and Northern Ireland.
Please inform others who maybe do not get sight of this note.

PEOPLE’S WALK FOR THE PLANET –
CLIMATE CAMINO COMES TO CLITHEROE
The Camino to COP walk for climate justice is passing through the Ribble Valley on 4th October for a day of hope. Local story tellers, film makers, artists, musicians and poets will be spreading he word about the urgent need for meaningful action to address the global climate and ecological emergency.
A workshop has been organised on Tuesday 31st August 7-9pm, in the Quaker Meeting House, Market Street, Clitheroe for people who would like help build the Coat of Hopes which will be of cut pieces of blanket, embroidered, stitched and joined, on a journey.
Like a living fable, this coat must grow as it travels on many backs, from the south coast of this island to the city of Glasgow in the north, every person who is willing, may have a piece joined to this coat. It will be a pilgrim coat, it will be a coat of hopes. The Coat of Hopes will be created as it travels the length of the country and patches produced by local groups are added. Would you like to be involved in helping to make a patch or patches for where we live?
Look to the North, and into the near future; world leaders, gathering like rooks to once again talk about the brewing storm – unstable global climate, ecological collapse and mass extinction. That is where your coat must go. Will you let them try the weight of our hopes? If they stand with us, they will delay no longer for the sake of growth, they will act now for the children of the future. May its warmth be their encouragement, and our messages guide them.
If you would prefer to sew your own patch, you can get details and request a patch pack on the website below. You can read more about the Coat of Hopes on the website www.coatofhopes.uk

See the start of our work on our courtyard, which we are making into a prayer and reflection area with the main theme of Laudato Si. The cross which is the main feature of the courtyard is made of recycled wood. The upcycled green planter is going to have a sensory garden signage on it. Animals have both been given and made by the children. The stones are largely Laudato Si’, although we have put some of our Remembrance stones in there. These stones were decorated by pupils, staff and parents. Our Gardening Club is run by an ex-parent and as you can see many crops are being grown, along with flowering plants for the bees.
In addition to the above, we have worked on local conservation projects: tree planting, Curlews and sphagnum moss planting, as well as much more.

Report from Clitheroe Advertiser and Times
Without the Prince
by St Michael’s Players April 1956
Fun at Farmhouse when Footlights are Switched On.
A light-hearted play about a famous star who helped a village dramatic society out of a difficulty. “Without the Prince,” which was given by the St Michael’s Players at The Hall, Lowergate, on Wednesday week and for three successive evenings, proved popular fare.
Although there is not quite enough action in the play to suit most people, there are plenty of laughs. To bring out the best qualities of the play, the cast had to use a delicate touch, and it is greatly to their credit that successive audiences so obviously enjoyed themselves.
The atmosphere of the stage was effectively transferred to an old fashioned and isolated farmhouse with interesting consequences.
Ruth Haslam, as Mary, the farmer’s daughter, spoke very clearly, and successfully presented a picture of a young girl anxious to shine as an amateur player and also to keep the interest and attention of the village “bobby”, P.C. James Hawkins.
Making the most of this part, Peter J. Fehrenbach was excellent as the solid, good-natured, honest policeman, who knew the importance of doing his duty even when it threatened to shatter his romance.
In the part of the nervous vicar (Rev.Simon Peters), who is responsible for the village society’s production of “Hamlet,” Ignatius Calvert achieved a very capable little character study, and received excellent support from Elizabeth Wright as his wife, whose quotations from Shakespeare and abdent-minded peculiarities caused many laughs.
In the last act the play takes a sudden twist with the arrival at the farhouse of an exuberant London producer, Wyndham Johns, and a famous actress, Eadeline Lees. Derrick Hutchinson was vigorous and competent as the producer and Margaret Brown acted sedately and convincingly as the beautiful star who was fully occupied in controlling the temper of her irate companion.
The young awkward farmer’s son was cleverly portrayed by Derek Rawcliffe, who strengthened the impression that he is one of the most promising young comedians in Clitheroe.
John Brown, as the farmer whose peace was so rudely disturbed by the village society’s activities, and Cecelia Speak, as his domineering wife, who is compelled to climb down, much to the enjoyment of her husband, was cool, calm and absolutely at ease all the time he was on the stage.
John cowman, as the stranger with the lost memory, who was later identified as a famous star, acted with dignity and was equally happy in both the gay and the more serious moods of the play. His performance was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the play.
Mary Bridge, who produced the play, is to be congratulated upon the high degree of efficiency reached by the cast as a shole.
Praise is also due to Frank Lofthouse (stage manager) and Wilfred Clegg (assistant stage manager).
In charge of special effects were Thomas Cowman; wardrobe, Margret Tyrer; properties Pat Hargreaves; lighting, James Smith; continuity, Catherine Haslam.
Mr John Loynds and Mr Harvey Sutcliffe acted efficiently as secretary and business manager respectively.
