In addition to working for the Royal Mail, she organises more than 300 volunteer knitters and seam­ stresses and supplies 36 hospi­ tals around the country. She also told of her visit to Buck­ ingham Palace earlier this year to receive her MBE for this labour of love. Also Mr Tony Edmonds,

HOUSEHOLDERS are to


be urged to compost their waste - whether they have a garden or not! A Ribble Valley Borough

one. The council hopes th a t


borough councils such as Golf club is ‘home’ for Mayoress

to good use in the community. Members of Simonstonc


and Read churches have been collecting aluminium cans, silver foil and take-away dish­ es for some time to help Mrs Lazonby raise money for the wool and materials used for the premature baby clothes and will continue to do so. If anyone can help collect more, please telephone 01282 772994. Used postage stamps are also needed to raise money for "Guide Dogs for the Blind".
