Hospice help from garden open day


A CHILDREN’S hospice will receive a £877 cash injection following a successful garden open day in Waddington. Some 230 people took the opportunity of spend­


ing a sunny afternoon viewing the beautifully-tended rock and ponds gardens and lawns a t Colthurst Hall,


the home of David and Karen Hardman. The occasion was jointly organised by the Kibble


Valley Derian House Committee, which helped to set up the hospice a few years ago. I t is run as a charity


and provides respite care for terminally or seriously ill chidren from various parts of Lancashire and beyond. Committee treasurer Mr Brin Lofthouse said: “The


garden open day was a wonderful occasion. The gar­ dens looked beautiful, the weather was glorious and everyone enjoyed themselves enormously. “Our thanks go to Mr and Mrs Hardman for their, efforts and to all who helped to make it such a suc­


cessful day.” In addition to the gardens, the visitors had the


chance of viewing three vintage cars — a 191M Bentley and two Aston Martins — displayed in the grounds of


the hall. Meanwhile, the hospice volunteer workers are now


preparing for a gala weekend a t Derian House on June 29th and 30th. There will be a car boot sale and craft fair on the Saturday, the programme for this day running from 8 a.m. to 8-30 p.m. On the Sunday there will be a variety of attractions,demonstrations


and side shows, plus guided tours of the hospice for members of the public. The.programme starts at 10 a.m. and the guided tours at 11 a.m. Committee secretary Mrs Joan Biehler said it was


hoped that many people from the Ribble Valley would take the opportunity of visiting the hospice during the weekend. “The hospice caters for nine children at any one


time and and th e re is a waiting list of 170,” she said. “I t provides respite care only, so it deals with many young patients over a year.” “I t is run by a charity trust, as all children’s hospices


are, because the Gvocrnmcnt so far has not brought them into the National Health Service. Derian House serves Lancashire, although it never turns away chil­ dren from other parts of the country.”


Last chance to see Whalley Mystery Plays


THE organisers of Whallejrs Mystery Plays are encouraging residents of the Ribble' Valley to support the final performances this


weekend. The plays have already entertained hundreds of

REPRESENTATIVES of local authority employers and th e Association of Local A u th o r i ty C h ie f Executives agreed a 2.9% pay increase for council chief executives to be paid from July 1st.


A similar pay deal is being recommended for
