Three members of the staff at


Boots also found their vehicles wheelclamped, but no one was available at the shop to comment. Mr David Fielding, whose wife, Maureen', was one of those whose car was clamped, has written angri­ ly to Mr Paul Baker, managing director of Thwaites Brewery, who own the Starkie Arms, expressing "shock and disgust". He claimed his wife was "robbed


of the sum of £70" by the represen­ tatives of the brewery's new man­

would have wished." Mr Baker has replied to Mr


Fielding, saying they would discuss his complaint with their lessee at the Starkie Arms, but they could only advise, and the ultimate deci-

Fund-raisers are awarded the Former lawyer special ‘best in Britain’ accolade ' loses his appeal


ANOTHER "best in Britain” award has been heaped on the Ribble Valley — this time thanks to the work of members of a


ladies' luncheon club. The charity Cancer Research Campaign


has chosen the Ribble Valley Ladies Lun­ cheon Club as the 2001 recipient of its Dame Adelaide Doughty Award. The national award is presented to the CRC fund-raising committee or individual judged to have best raised awareness of the charity and its cancer prevention messages


over the course of the year. Through press coverage achieved on its


many CRC fund-raising events, the lun­ cheon club was voted top in the countiy among CRC judges and has now brought the award back to the North-West for the first time in more than five years. Said delighted secretary Mrs Karen

over jail sentence


A FORMER local lawyer sent to prison for four and a half years has. been refused leave to appeal. John William Burrows


(53) was told by Mr Jus­ tice Rougier at the Appeal Court in London that he had brought the legal pro­ fession into disrepute. Burrows was refused


leave to appeal against his sentence or against his convictions for forgery, using a forged instrument and five offences of procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception. The sentence was


imposed 11 months ago following a lengthy trial. At the Appeal Court,


trainee and on those he (was "unfit t o h e. solici- ‘tor".


the defence conceded that Burrows had previously had his career blighted by convictions for dishonesty when he.was s t i ll as a


rejected by the judge, sit­ ting with Mr Justice Bell. On the appeal against


the sentence, Mr Justice Rougier declared: "It is a grave aggravating factoi that he was in a position of trust. "Public confidence in


the legal profession is gravely undermined by offences of this nature." Burrows, formerly liv­


ing at Chipping but more recently of Harrowside, Blackpool, was a legal executive at the time the will of ex-butcher Mi Leslie Barnes was altered. Mr Justice Rougiei


pointed out that this was done by Burrows as his client lay in hospital. "The alterations con­


tained a number of sur­ prises for relatives," said


the judge, including twe new. legacies for £2,000.

Considerable emphasis is placed on careful preparation and sup­ port of volunteers who must have parenting experience them-


selves. WOMEN’S CENTRE VOLUNTEER; Various tasks arc on ,


offer to volunteers who can help with the day to day running of this centre in Blackburn. They include reception, admin., library and information tasks, learning support, telephone and personal coun­ selling. The next training course begins on September 7th.

If you have good admin, skills and arc efficient and reliable, we would like to hear from you. LEAGUE OF FRIENDS VOLUNTEER; Longridgc Hospital is


looking to recruit pleasant and friendly volunteers to help at its luncheon club at brand new premises, or to raise funds.

tunity for you. • .■■.) 1 : ’ MENTORS: Good listeners and positive;lhinkers able to relate

untccrs to take puppies from around six weeks old into their homes for basic education until they a-e about one year old, when they arc transferred lo n.ccntrc for more specialised training.
