Meningitis parents


give thanks


THE parents of the Ribblesdale High


School pupil who con­ tracted meningitis have thanked medical staff for the prompt diagno­ sis that undoubtedly


saved their son's life. In a letter to the Adver­


tiser and Times, Mr Clive Bennett and his wife, Valerio, of Woodhead Road, Read, said their son


was now making a steady recovery, and expressed their thanks to Dr Kris at Whalley Health Centre, the "wonderful" paediatric team on Ward 26 a t Burnley Hospital and to their family and friends for the "tremen­


dous support". They added: "As parents,


having a child ill with meningitis is probably one of your worst nightmares come true and, in our case, probably the most frighten­ ing incident ever to have happened in our children's


lives. "However, it is worth


pointing out, as we come to the end of National Menin­ gitis Week, that, if caught early enough, the outcome is usually very good.”


TWO cricketing musicians used one skill to help the other. About £150 was raised for the funds


of Downham Cricket Club after gui­ tarist Philip Parker and drum expert Scott Turner, both batsmen, played a t a dance with their respective groups, Sub


Rosa and Missed Her Bliss. Their musical colleagues agreed to help


out with a gig at Downham Village Hall. There was a "dress to impress" code for the event, dubbed Gemstock as a cour­


tesy to club captain Chris “Gem” Swar- brick. He said: "We are very grateful to the lads and their musical colleagues for helping our funds." The picture shows the musician crick­


eters with colleagues from the stage and the cricket square. (210998/7/2)
