VILLAGERS, residents , and friends thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon at Chatburn’s Manor House Nursing and Residential


Home. The home's Easter Bon­


net Parade and Fair raised more than £200 towards a forthcoming coach outing to Blackpool. The children enjoyed an


Easter egg hunt around the gardens which were bedecked with bunting, while visitors took part in the tombola, cake stall and enjoyed the hot cross buns


and tea. Crafts' and artificial

cry over the Eurofighter Typhoon after visiting BAE systems in Warton, Lancashire. The MP was impressed


by the professionalism and dedication of the team, some of whom are local people. The Government, has,


made a pledge to buy 232 Typhoons, which would create thousands of manu­ facturing jobs in the North West. However, so far it has only signed for 55 jets. Speaking from West­


minster, Mr Evans said: “I am concerned by the noise coming from London that they may scale-back the number of Typhoons in'a post-Iraq size and shape review of the armed forces. “It is a deep cause,for.


concern to hear the outgo­ ing Chief of Defence Staff, Sir Michael Boyce, openly


>


admitting that the Goven- ment is considering reneg­ ing on its commitment to the Typhoon.” Mr Evans has tabled a


number of Parliamentary questions asking the Secre­ tary of State for Defence to clarify the position of


. the “Government. He believes that the longer BAE waits for this order,


, the more jobs are put at risk. ;■ “It is vital that, we have


our own strategic defence manufacturing away from the US so that we may. grow and maintain our own defence capability," says the MP. Buying air-


, craft off-the-shelf from other countries throws -away thousands, of .highly, •skilled manufacturing and


' 'technical jobs that this country needs, warns Mr Evans.

administration officer at, Roefield, said the success of Popskool had exceeded all expectations: “It was better than we could have expected. The grand finale took place in the sports hall at Roefield where we had the full effect of a stage, microphones, lights, smoke and a big screen which showed the children’s own video diaries, together with images from their on-screen performance.” She.added that within 10 days’ of adver


tising the event,' every place had been filled. As a result she hopes that the centre will be able to build on the Popskool’s suc­ cess and organise a similar event in the future. Our photograph shows Popskool participants pictured at Saturday’s event (T280403/1)
