daunting prospect of covering the whole of the North West during July, to pick off the cream of the crop. Other local entries in


the commercial section are the Moorcock' Inn, Wad- dington, and the Gibbon Bridge, Chipping. The regional results will


be published at the end of July, with the winners receiving their coveted awards at a special pre­ sentation on August 21st at Southport Flower Show. The winning local auth­

THE secret o f Baekfold Cottage’s success is undoubtedly the quality and experience of the trio in charge. Owner Mrs Daphne Forbes (right) is joined by


Miss Liz Miller and Mr Daniel Welsh (pictured left), all committed to making your stay at Back­ fold Cottage as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Daphne was born in Waddington and after


attending a local primary school she went to Clith- croe Royal Grammar School, before studying for a chemistry degree at Sheffield University. On graduating, she went to work for Lanca­


shire County Council as an assistant public ana­ lyst, an authority on food, drugs and water.


Her next career move took her into education


and training and she spent 25 years at the world- famous Blackpool and Fylde Hotel and Catering College.


. . Firstly, she was in charge of scientific and tech­


nological instruction, which encompassed a wide variety of topics, including meat technology, gro­ cery, butchery, school meals, health inspectors and


almost anything connected with food. From 1977 until 19S(> she was responsible lor


the scientific and technological instruction of hotel administrators, catering supervisors and


practical caterers. In 19S(i she decided to retire from the college and


take up her new challenge in Waddington, with the same enthusiasm and commitment to qunlitv she has always had. Also playing an integral part in


the business arc Liz and Daniel. Miss Miller, who lives in Clitheroc and works as


a personal assistant to Daphne at Baekfold Cot­ tage, went to St Augustine’s KC High School and St Mary’s KC College, before studying for an HNU in hotel catering and institutional management


at Blackpool and Fylde College. • Mr Welsh, who combines his skills with Eaves Hall Country Club, where he works as a dutv man­ ager, deals with service and presentation and helps to organise dinner parties. It is this mix of experience, commitment and


youthful talent that makes your stay at Back­ fold Cottage a delight and one to remember.

A PETITION from concerned parents about; the lack of provision for adequate lighting in;' tlie Edisford car park has been successful. The petition, submitted delighted by the decision;


j'


in April this year, was signed by 54(> residents and users of the Koeficld Leisure Centre and Kibb- lesdale Pool.


Kibble Valley’s chief


technical officer Mr Jon Dunn said that although the council did not nor­ mally respond to this type of petition, money had been set aside for the installation of lighting ill the car park, possibly within the next two or three months, because of the concerns raised.


“Plans are afoot to have


the lighting installed before the darker nights arrive. I can’t say exactly when that will be, but it will be installed as soon as possible," he said.


Conn. Bert Jones (Ciith-


eroe), who raised the issue at the Kibble Valley Coun­ cil, said he was highly


“ I look forward to the time when the ear park is lit. I am also pleased for the people of the community, who have campaigned op this important issue," lie' said. Manager of the Koeficld.


Leisure Centre Mrs Diane HoHingworth said that the people who had felt con-! corn for their personal safety and the security of their vehicles would wel­ come the decision. She added that, due to


fears about parking in the pitcli black of the car park' during the winter months',' many parents were park-; ing in the small forecourt, at the front of the leisure centre, leading to traffic, congestion. “ Parents, especially


mothers, will now feel much happier parking across the road in the car. park," she said.
