IHotel chief praises public | for support during crisis


RIBBLE VALLEY resi­ dents have been praised for their support during the foot and mouth crisis. Mr Malcom Weaving, of


the Stirk House Hotel, Gis- burn, said: "Local-people j have not let us down. They


have still supported events | and functions, for which we


are very grateful." Mr Weaving, co-propri­


etor of the hotel with his wife, Karen, is preparing to welcome the producer of I ITV's "Family Fortunes" gameshow to Gisburn. Weekend breaks at Stirk


House regularly feature as show prizes, and as a ges­ ture of support the producer is now to, become a holiday


guest. Added Mr Weaving:


"During this foot and mouth crisis, my wife and I have spent our leisure time in the Ribble Valley. When


I we have needed- a break, we | have supported other local businesses, such as hotels and restaurants. We also buy all our produce locally. "By offering a weekend at


Stirk House H o tel; as a prize, we are hopefully help­ ing to raise the profile of the Ribble Valley."
