The little dog that was found this evening running up and down the main road has now been reunited with it's owners - it seems as though the fireworks had spooked him too. Thanks to everyone in the Bay Horse and the Chippy who made various phone calls to trace the owners of 'Jack', and to the dog warden as well.

In memory of Jack Higson who passed away last week. Jack allowed Mark to scan many of his super Cowling-related photos, now in the Old Photos Gallery, and was very involved in village life before moving to Glusburn. Sympathy to all the family.

We are currently researching the requirement for a Luncheon Club in the Village, the idea is to utilise the Little Red Bus, to collect people and bring them to the new "Drystone Cafe" (opening shortly) where they would receive a hot main course and desert at a nominal cost. The Luncheon club would provide opportunities for those people who normally have limited contact to enjoy the company of others. It is envisaged that the Club would also offer other social activities as well as the opportunity to purchase groceries, collect prescriptions from the chemist and make new friends at the same time. For those people unable to come to the Cafe well the Cafe will come to you and deliver a hot meal to your door. We welcome any feed back as the more we get the better we can make the service. Thank you.

Well thanks very much to the really inconsiderate people who are letting off really powerful and LOUD fireworks across the road from me now, without any warning or consideration for those around them. I have an old dog who is shaking uncontrollably now, has wet himself and I am worried about him. I am so furious that other people have these industrial strength fireworks, not just a couple of rockets etc in their gardens and live so close to others, especially pet owners who have to put up with it. I am here on my own and worried about my dog now, thanks very much. Not. Please, if you are planning letting off fireworks in your garden, do let your immediate neighbous know so they can be prepared. These ones aren't just small rockets etc but the type you'd find at organised gatherings. I am so angry but what can I do?

On a breezy day Cowling entertained Haslingden at home on Sunday 11th October. Cowling won the toss and elected to play into the stiff breeze. Throughout the first half, Cowling had much of the possession without creating too many chances, but on one of Haslingden's breaks they scored the opening goal of the game. This seemed to galvanise Cowling, who upped their effort. During this period Cowling created chances, but proceeded to miss them. It looked as though it was going to be one of those days. Half time was reached with Cowling still one goal down. The second half followed very much the same pattern as the firs,t with Cowling having the lion's share of the game, but Haslingden looked very dangerous on the break. Fifteen minutes from time a flowing move resulted in the ball being crossed to the right hand side, and a superb header by Liam Daffern pulled Cowling level to the relief of all concerned. Cowling continued to press for the winner which eventually came five minutes from time with a tremendous shot from Josh Wood. A workmanlike performance was given by Cowling to overcome a very useful Haslingden team. The final score was 2-1 to Cowling. Man of the Match with another solid defensive performance was Oliver Simeone.
After the game, as part of the club trophy presentation for last year, the parents took on the lads in a very competitive game, which the parents won 4-2. Fun was had by all, but I fear some of the parents will have suffered the next day. The trophies were presented to the individual winners who were:
Players Player - George Sellars
Managers Player - Ellis Denton
Oppositions Player - Oliver Simeone
Parents Player - George Sellars
Most Improved Player - Daniel Brigg
This was folllowed by a raffle and a buffet lunch that was enjoyed by all. The club would like to extend it's grateful thanks to Angela Wood for a sumptious buffet.

Cowling came through a difficult game with flying colours when they defeated Brierfield Celtic 3-0 at home on Sunday 27th September. Playing with a slight breeze behind them in the first half Cowling were looking for a lead to to defend when they were to play into the breeze in the secong half. Cowling never allowed the opponenets to settle, while also playing some neat football themselves, despite hitting the woodwork twice, with all their efforts it looked as though halftime would be reaches scoreless. But with 5 mins to go in the half a long range shot was spilled by the Brierfield goalkeeper and like a good centre forward Oliver Williams was on hand to prod home the goal. The second half followed very much the same pattern as the first , with Cowling enjoying most of the possesion and never allowing thier opponents time on the ball. This resulted in Cowling adding 2 more goals before the end. A great performance by Cowling against a very capable side. Scorers were George Sellers with 2 and Oliver Williams with 1 goal. Man of the match with a superb midfiled display was George Sellers.

Many thanks Mark for the poll on bin emptying, it's good to see Cowlingweb trying to find out what the public view is on matters. The change to bin emptying will not take place until January, perhaps councillors who have voted for this change might listen to the public and now reject it?
Or at least tell the public - that public who pay their expenses and allowances - just why they voted the way they did.
