Bold regional initiative in a bid to market their beef and lamb the move to other products


by Tim Procter


FARMERS in the Rib- ble Valley are joining others all across the region in taking a bold step to market their beef


and lamb. And they are keen to extend


such as grouse. After initial meetings, some


months ago, repor ted in the Advertiser and Times, Bowland F orest Foods L td has been formed to try to increase farm incomes. The basic idea is to add value to


what up to now have been the standard products of Bowland farms, and widen their appeal to


the retail and catering trades. This is being done by forming a


three-sided operation involving up to 200 farmers and five auction marts from across the region. Directors of the company from


these sectors have already been chosen and now agreement is being sought with the processors. The company says: "The benefits


of being a member of this initiative will come from the branding and improved marketing of the output,


from the sharing of information to improve the livestock production and from the costs to be saved by this three-way collaboration." The company is to be officially


launched on Bank Holiday Mon­ day by the Duke of Westminster, owner of the Abbeystead Estate. The day will also include talks


bv gamekeepers on the conserva­ tion and estate management work they do. The RSPB and English Nature are also involved.

Kosovan refugee helpers honoured at reception


VOLUNTEERS from the Ribble Valley who helped to look after last year's influx of Kosovan refugees have been honoured. Recognition of their work


at the temporary shelter, set up for the refugees at the former Calderstones Hospi­ tal in Whalley, led to invites to a gala reception at Coun­ ty Hall for Mrs Janet Hem­ ingway, Mrs Pamela Wooff, Mrs Jean Doherty and Mrs Pauline Lamper. All are members of the


Ribble Valley branch of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service. Among their efforts to welcome the Kosovans were duties which included operating a telephone helpline, running the camp shop and sorting donated goods. The reception was hosted


by Coun. Bob Clark, chair­ man of Lancashire County Council. Other guests included WRVS peers from other parts of the county.


WI ladies are off to Wembley


REPRESENTATIVES from borough WI groups will join other county members for a trip to London next month. They will form the Lancashire federation to attend the


triennial general meeting of the national federation, which will be staged at Wembley Conference and Exhibition Centre from June 7th — 10th. Resolutions already forwarded for debate include a call


for parity of care for stroke patients, protection of post office counter services such as the cash payment of pen­ sions and benefits, and a demand for Government funding


for children's hospices. There will also be an exhibition entitled "Woman 2000" nm4 mincf nmconfalmilQ I

March, Ribblesdale Nurs­ ery School was scrutinised by a team of inspectors and received a glowing report. In its report, the stan­


dards squad said that the Queens Road nursery, which was established in 1950, had "many good fea­ tures and no major areas for improvement". The Clitheroe-based


nursery has 101 children on roll, all attend part time in either the morning or after­ noon, and, according to the inspectors' report, when the youngsters leave to s ta r t school full-time their attainment is broadly above average and most are on course to exceed nationally expected'Desirable Learn­ ing Outcomes in all areas of learning. Quality of teaching at


Ribblesdale Nursery is described as good and inspectors said th a t the children are taught well: "The effective teamwork of the staff contributes signifi­ cantly to the good quality teaching that the children receive."


Teenagers in A682 crash


TWO teenagers were taken to hospital after an early evening crash on the A682 Gisburn to Blacko road on Saturday. A Vauxhall Corsa, driven

the headteacher, Mrs June Dewhurst, has successfully built an effective team which works together to improve the quality of teaching and curriculum. The nursery's excellent learning resources and well- organised learning environ­ ment are noted in the report, as is the "very good partnership" with parents. In the report inspectors

an who loved the land was a founder of oor Club dies


THE flag of Low Moor Club, Clitheroe, flew at half mast this week in honour of a founder mem­ ber, Mr Ralph Parkinson, who died on Friday. Mr Parkinson (68) lived moped


in Low Moor all his life and found a love of the land at the farm there. He started his working life on a farm a t West Marton, but was later a driver and had his own Tarmac wagon for some time. Then followed 1G years


, with a pet dog in


the basket. Mr Parkinson's farm knowledge was never wasted. He was often asked for advice, delivered numerous lambs and helped with the haymaking for farmers over a wide area. For many years after

ago. However, he was able to


get about until recent times, and was often seen on his


helping to found it, Mr Parkinson was a keen work­ er for Low Moor Club. A highly respected personali­ ty, he was a steadfast sup­ porter of the area and its people, and few had deeper local knowledge. In recent times Mr Parkinson had been in very


poor health and was nursed by his wife at home. The funeral is today, with


a service at St Paul's Church, Low Moor, fol­ lowed by interment in Clitheroe Cemetery.

A NURSERY school which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year has been sent to the top of the class by 0F ST ED assessors. For th re e days in


Inspectors also said th a t initial assessment records need more detail to prove a "more effective" starting point to measure pupils' progress. The 0FSTED inspectors'


also said that the children have very good attitudes to learning and that relation­ ships between children, staff and other adults is "very good". According to the 0FSTED team, there is also good provision for chil­ dren with special education­ al needs and those who have English as an additional language. However, the report also


noted tha t more planned opportunities should be provided to help higher attaining children improve their achievements and that in instances where teaching was satisfactory, teachers' questioning was said not to sufficiently challenge chil­ dren in their learning.


report has been welcomed by Mrs Dewhurst, who says it highlights the excellent work being done by all the staff: "We have a hardwork­ ing and dedicated team and the report shows that the school is continuing to give all its pupils an excellent start to their school life. We try to bring out the best in each child and encourage them to learn. "I am pleased th a t the


inspectors have recognised how keen and enthusiastic the children are and tha t they have noticed how they enjoy coming to school and behave well towards each other." And the chairman of gov­


ernors, Mr Bert Jones, said: "The parents are happy with the quality of the edu­ cation and teaching and have told the inspectors how they are made to feel welcome. This is a very good report."
