Past Events

Held on 12th April at Chatburn Village Hall.

Speaker Steve Williams on "Loyal Lancastrians"

Which looked at the many men from Lancashire who served in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment during the First World War and again in the Second World War when it became known as The Loyal Regiment. The talk will include stories of some of the battles and the men who served.

Held on Wednesday 18th March at 19.30 hrs

Indoor carpet bowling - West Bradford Village Hall


Held on Monday 9th Feb at 1930hrs at Chatburn Village Hall

"Those were the days Pt 2" by Ray Cauldwell. Ray continued his talk taking us through the 70's and 80's.

 

Held on Monday 15th Decemeber - 7.30pm - Chatburn Village Hall

An enjoyable talk by Ray Couldwell entitled “Those Were the Days” was enjoyed by all who attended.

A nostalgic and entertaining evening as Ray takes us back to the 1950s and 60s. His talk features fond (and often funny) memories of tin baths, Ewbank sweepers, the nit nurse, and kitchenettes — with plenty of audience participation and shared recollections of times gone by.


Held on Monday 8th September - 7:30pm - Chatburn Village Hall.

Alice Nutter, one of the infamous (allegedly) Pendle Witches. The presentation will be given by local historian Brian Jeffery. As with previous events this is open to everyone with a suggested donation of £5 which again will be going to Prostate Cancer UK.

We enjoyed an interesting presentation and learned how Brian researched the subject. The evidence presented would seem to indicate that Alice was hard done too. It was more likely that she didn't speak at her trial due to her age (72) and that she was suffering from dementure.

I hope we are more enlightened in this modern era or are we?


Held on Monday 23rd June - 7.30pm - Chatburn Village Hall - Speaker

Guest speaker, Mr. Peter Del Strother, who gave us a talk on the ‘History of Clitheroe’.
Very interesting insight into the local history, particularly the cemement process.
Donations on the night went to Prostate Cancer UK in support of their excellent work.


Carpet Bowling

Held on Wednesday 21st May - 7.00pm - West Bradford Village Hall - Bowling

Another successful evening attended by 10 willing participants.
There was be a small charge of £6 to help cover costs.
This includes a tea or coffee


Carpet Bowling

Held in March 2025

We enjoyed an inaugural fun and friendly evening of indoor bowls at West Bradford Village Hall. While the standard of play may not have been the highest, the spirit of the evening more than made up for it!


Joyful Noise

Next meeting on 25th May 2026 at 7.30 pm.

Joyful Noise meet at the Methodist Chapel at 7.30pm every two weeks.
These gatherings provide the opportunity for the uplifting experience to sing hymns old and new.
Led and conducted by Roy Porter, Joyful Noise attracts people from several different churches in the surrounding area.

Everyone is welcome

Occasionally, Joyful Noise will go "On Tour" and be held at other churches and venues around the Ribble Valley.
From the first gathering in 2011, these meetings have grown in popularity.
It really does not matter if a person can sing correctly, as it is the joy of rejoicing through music that takes place.


Also on 22nd June.
