chairman of Lancashire's Foot and Mouth Task Group, said: "Rob was extremely helpful to us in Lancashire. I believe the people of Lancashire owe a great deal to him. The sit­ uation was unpleasant enough - but it could have turned far nastier without his experience and organis­ ing ability." Other counties organised


"exclusion zones" around affected farms via letters carried in the usual postal system. Members of Lan­ cashire's team personally delivered letters, so that movement bans became effective immediately. Mr Paul is taking up a


new post in DEFRA'S regional office at Harro gate.


Parents and son have cemented family’s link with local firm


SOME people may take their work home with them, but one Billington family has turned this idea around and takes home to


work. David Hothersall, wife


Debi and son Daniel all leave home and head for Castle Cement's Ribblesdale Works, where they are employed in different departments. They are following a family


tradition, because David's father, Robert, worked at the plant from 1952 until 1985 when he retired. "I started with the company


in 1978 when it was then Rib­ blesdale Cement. I wanted an electrical apprenticeship and the company has always had a good reputation for training, so I was very happy to join it," said Mr Hothersall, who has recently been promoted to shift manager "I've always been happy with


the company, so I had no reser­ vations when Debi and then Daniel decided to join." Mrs Hothersall joined Castle


Cement in 1999 as a purchasing clerk, although she had worked at the plant previously in the canteen, employed by a sub­ contractor. Then 17-year-old Dan


became the latest family mem­ ber to join when he started in September as a production


trainee. Mr Hothersall passed a man­


agement course at Blackburn College last year and plays an active role in the company's community work. He helps out with school vis­


its and was instrumental in set­ ting up the company cricket tournament. "Castle Cement is very much


the sort of company where you can progress your career. There's definitely a family feel to it and I suppose that is par­ ticularly true in our case," he added.


Walkers turn out in force


SOME 96 people turned out for Saturday’s “Whalley Walk”- only a few less than the best-ever 112, despite very bad weather. There was torrential rain on the


for Whalley’s special trek A collection raised £90 for the


Friends of Whalley School and the most ridiculous hat prize was won by Barrie Nicholson, of Billington. The event was another example


way to the lunch stop at the Gamecock Inn. But the sun came out for the return to Whalley via the Nab, after which many walk­ ers adjourned to the Dog Inn for refreshments.


THERE was a touching moment during Clitheroe Ramblers’ Box­


ing Day walk. The ashes of Mr Frank Parrott,


a key figure in rambling regionally as well as locally, were scattered at a suitable spot in Gisburn Forest. Mr Parrot died suddenly in the summer while on holiday in Viet­


nam. The walk, led from Stocks


Reservoir car park by John White- head, was well-supported consider­ ing the weather, with 44 people turning out. After setting off into Gisburn


forest along paths and stony tracks in a north-easterly direction, the party stopped to view the bed of the railway running from Tosside station used to carry supplies for the reservoir construction from 1924-32.


of the solidarity of village life in Whalley and the efforts of organ­ iser Mr Ivan Hargreaves were much appreciated. Our picture shows some of the walkers. (K281202/1)


Rambler’s ashes scattered on walk The walk continued through the


forest, by Hesbert Hall Farm to Bailey Lane and past the wood-


yard. At the Dog and Partridge Hotel


the landlady kindly allowed the party to picnic indoors as they enjoyed a festive drink. Steps were then retraced along


Bailey Lane to take a more south­ westerly course and eventually reached Stephen Park, recently reopened by Cherie Blair. The party was shown inside, where there are engravings above door arches dating back to 1662. The route continued through


the trees until the reservoir cause­ way was reached and then the paths back to the cars. Although the views had been


poor, everyone enjoyed the oppor­ tunity to stretch their legs.
