Miss Bradley wore a gown of buttermilk gold, which had a silk bodice and fine tulle skirt. She completed her ensemble with a hand- tied bouquet of cream roses,


lilies and freesia. Her attendants were


dame of honour Mrs Georgina Eastwood and bridesmaids Miss Simone Jackson, Miss Samantha Nelson and Miss Libby Knight. Mrs Eastwood and Miss Jackson, who carried long-stemmed atrium lilies tied with gold ribbon, wore golden bodiced dresses, which had A-line cream chiffon skirts and were topped with fine tulle shawls, while the dresses worn by Miss Nelson and Miss Knight, who carried hand-tied posies similar to


its children's play, "Sur­ gical Sensation a t St Sennapod's", will raise many hundreds of pounds when it is staged at the Cente­ naries Theatre, Stony- hurst, from October

inquiries in the right quar­ ters will quickly provide re-assurance th a t there will be some assistance, often to a very high pro­ portion of the total cost. I t is always a good idea


to check round informally before you start. The rules and regulations are some­ times interpreted in differ­ ent ways by different peo­ ple. The more families who have trodden the same tricky path as you who will speak frankly about their experiences, the b e t te r - provided what they can tell you is relevant to current prac­


tice. The Labour Govern­


ment has plans for a much s tr ic te r inspection and


supervision regime for the entire care sector. This causes few problems for well-run, well resourced homes, which are often well ahead of the require­ ments. Unfortunately the


grapevine ensures th a t they are the ones which have fewest vacancies, so shopping round for a place can be very frus­ trating. The irony is that very often relatives are faced with an urgent situ­ ation: there is little time available to look round and none a t all to keep someone inappropriately a t home to wait for the right place. So it is always a good idea to have a look round


the area's various homes well before any need arises to patronise one. Some are purpose-built though most are conversions, often with added accom­ modation. There is a wide variety of choice by way of location, style, size and emphasis. Some homes place


strong emphasis on out­ ings, visiting entertainers and the like. Others cater for residents who like a quiet life. Quick decisions should


be avoided whenever pos­ sible and though recom­ mendations are always valuable, placing a rela­ tive in a new home is an awesome responsibility. So, if you can, take your time and and rely on what you see for yourself.

I Cl employees’ sponsored bike ride buys equipment for health centre


A RELAXER Exami- '■ nation Couch is on its way to Clitheroe Health Centre, cour­


tesy of ICI employees. A donation of £830


has also been made to ■ Clitheroe Hospital; Employees at ICI held a •


sponsored bike ride and a charity mock auction night to raise funds to help ' to pay for a colleague’s treatment after he was ■


taken ill. There was an over­


whelming response to both events and more than £10,000 was raised. The surplus left over from the treatment costs has been used to support and • improve health facilities in


the local area. ' In addition to the Relax-y


' er couch, which will be of 1'1 ' particular benefit to the ' elderly and disabled, the two ambulances operating out of Clitheroe have been fitted with up-to-date pulse oximeters. A presentation was held


at Clitheroe Health Cen- tre, during which represen­ tatives from ICI Clitheroe Sports and Social Club handed over a cheque to cover the cost of the relaxer examination couch. (091098/6/24).
