Mart prices ^ THERE was a good-sam­ ple of ca t tle on offer, at(r Clitheroe Auction Mart’s sale last Tuesday. * Premium bulls averaged-


108.5p per kg and;there was an overall bull average of 98p, while all the heifers fell into the prime bracket at an average figure of 89.5p. ■


'• ! • , The quality of hoggs


was in complete contrast, with'very few quality pens presented; many entries looked as though they were the odds and ends at the end of the season. Howev­ er, best lambs were still £9 to £10 above their weight, with mule ewes to £40 and Beaulah to £35.50. , Friday's store cattle sale


saw another excellent day. Most store bulls were pre­ sented on green cards, with the bets to £500, but more interest was shown in a small entry of red card bulls. Heifers found buyers a shade more cautious, though £480 was the top call for a pen of Charolais heifers destined for-York shire. Spring show entries for

LONG-STANDING Burnley Football Club supporter Mrs Alison Heptonstall did the unthinkable when she chose a per­ sonality to officially open a new wedding department at her business in Read. She persuaded Blackburn Rovers goal­


keeper Brad Friedl to make the big day even more special. And the appearance of the popular


American in Read caused great excite­ ment in the village, attracting a big crowd. Mrs Heptonstall, who is in partnership


with Mrs Judith Kay in Dreamaker, met the keeper at a wedding fair at Ewood Park and ending up sponsoring his goal­


i


keeper’s kit. When they decided to.expand the


menswear shop at Whalley Road, Read, Brad was the obvious choice to be asked to cut the ribbon. Mrs Heptonstall said: “I have been a Burnley supporter all my life, following


my mother.” She said her mother, Mrs Marjorie


Archibold, still attends home matches at Turf Moor, despite being 82 and in a


wheelchair. “When I told her I was sponsoring


Brad’s kit she said ‘Oh, why?”’ added Mrs Heptonstall, who obviously does not pos­ sess the same amount of animosity as some Burnley supporters towards their neighbouring club.


- The partners decided the expansion into


a wedding department was an obvious move, filling a gap in the market locally. Mrs Heptonstall has been a wedding plan­ ner for some years. Last year she planned a wedding on


Merseyside for Jackie Green, who won £10m. on the Lottery.


• “It was the same as any wedding - but much more lavish,” said Mrs Heptonstall. Our picture shows Brad opening the


new shop with Mrs Heptonstall and model Rebecca Greenwood. . . (K250203/3) '■
