THE entrepreneurial success of a husband- and-wife team in putting their charming coun­ try hotel on the map has been “crowned” by a

now costing h o teliers £30,000 each, the Davis family have turned those economics on their head. They built their six rooms themselves, but their pro­ fessionalism has stood the


test of the beady trained eyes of the no-nonsense English Tourist Board inspectors. . After all,- an award of


Four Crowns is not given lightly — even to such a beautiful country hotel, in the setting of magnificent gardens.


AS revealed exclusively in last week’s “Advertiser and Times,” CalFs Head landlord John Davis is reviving the tradition of a Worston Mayor. The old village stunt, dating back to a jolly caper


Tradition revived


in the bar at the pub, will be used to honour each year a Ribble Valley resident who has served the


local community. John explains: “I have the documents to substan­


dancer, Pam. They teamed up in management, even­ tually switching to the Calfs Head at Worston. Once established with regular and loyal clientele, John and Pam mapped out a solid business plan. The result is a startling and quite beautiful testi-


tiate the Mayor’s role in Worston life, before the turn of the century. Do you know they even sent loyal greetings from this ‘Town Hall’ to Queen Vic­ toria at Buckingham Palace? “It seemed to me this is a real true-to-life tradition


we can revive for the benefit of the village and Ribble Valley community and as a way of helping local charities. “We do not want to rival the real Mayors. Nor did


the Victorian people of Worston. They had sham money and a sham bank. We look forward to reviv­ ing the office to honour a significant citizen of the Ribble Valley and its surrounding area. Our sole aim will be to use the office to raise money and, in short, to have some fun.”
