Sisters are doing it for themselves!
A GROUP of Ribble Valley walkers donned walking boots and raised money for the Cys tic Fibrosis charity. Twenty-five women took part in a seven-
mile walk from Whalley to Downham on Saturday, completing it in four hours. The ‘Sisters for cystic fibrosis’ walk raised
around £1,000 altogether which will go towards the charity. Mrs Siobhan Trickett, from Whalley,
whose god-daughter, Amelia Dickinson, suf fers from cystic fibrosis, explained: “It was absolutely fantastic. This is the first time we have arranged the walk, but judging by the success, we are hoping to make it an annual event. “It was a nice sunny day and it was good
with it being all ladies for a change.” Mrs Trickett and friends are now working
towards organising a spring ball to give another major boost to the charity. Our picture shows the girls putting their
best feet forward for the walk. (G011103/1)

LOCAL children put on their wellies and warm coats and picked up trowels and spades to help plant 1,250 bulbs in a church yard. Ten children from Hurst Green planted
1,000 crocus and 250 daffodil bulbs at St John’s Church on Saturday afternoon. Organised by Mrs Gill McDonnell and
Mrs Clare Hyde, members of the house- group committee for the church, the young sters were sponsored £1 for every 10 bulbs they planted. This raised a total of £90, which went
towards buying the bulbs and helped to enhance the area around the churchyard. Mrs McDonnell explained: “Bulb planti
ng encourages the children to be involved in the environment and also to improve the churchyard. This they enjoy very much. “In September the youngsters spent some
time clearing unwanted greenery from the same area.” The greenfingered children will now be
turning their hands to making bird boxes. “This is all to make the church a friendly
place for nature,” concluded Mrs McDon nell. Our picture shows local children trying to
bring spring colour into the churchyard. (G011103/5)

RAIL company First North Western has apol ogised to Ribble Valley customers who have been affected by delays or cancellations over the past few days many being caused by the autumn leaf-fail. During this period drivers, says the compa
ny, have used their skill and experience to assess the state of the rail and then driven in accor dance with conditions. This may mean driving slowly through sec
tions of the track and trains may have difficul ty in pulling away from stations, it explains. It can mean trains losing two or three minutes or more at each station and delays can quickly escalate across the network and have serious
knock-on effects. Managing director Mr Richard Peck said:
“We are taking a number of actions to try to prevent these problems. These include working with Network Rail, who spread a substance called Sandite on the rails in known blackspots. We also train our drivers to recognise the con ditions and react accordingly.” FNW has expressed its thanks to customers
for their patience and advised them to check train times by visiting FNW’s website at
www.firstnorthwestem.co.uk or by ringing the train running hotline 0800 528 0200. • See letters, page 14.
FOUR children, 12 grand children and 16 greatgrand children gathered together to celebrate 60 years of wedded
bliss for a local couple. M r Edward Jones (84) and
M rs M a rg a re t Jo n es (79), of Beech Street, Clitherde, marked their diamond wedding anniver s a ry a t th e P en d le H o te l in Chatburn on Sunday. The couple have shared much
together since they met in 1941 in Newry, Northern Ireland, where Mr Jones was serving in the Army. Having left school at the age of
14, Mrs Jones worked a t a spin ning mill as a spinner. S t P a tr ick and StColeman’s
Cathedral was the picturesque venue for th e ir wedding on November 2nd, 1943, when Mrs Jones was 19 and Mr Jones, 24. Former Clitheroe Golf Club
employee Mr Jones was in the East Lancashire Regiment and while fighting in France was wounded in August 1944. He was then transfer red to
Newport in South Wales, having suffered serious injuries to his legs and shoulder, and was thereafter treated a t Calderstones, Whalley. At, th e age of 20, Mrs Jones
came over to live with her mother- in-law, Mrs Maud Jones, in Clitheroe, and decades later is still living at the same address. “Edward was in h o sp i tal in
Wales and I lived with his mother and family. “They were like strangers to me
a t the time, but I got on very well with them. “I have lived here since and
have loved it very much. “Edward’s main hobby is gar
dening and after coming out of the Army, he worked as a gardener for several years in Clitheroe,” explained Mrs Jones. The couple have four children, Mr-Patrick Jones (58), Mrs Kath-
er
leen-Johnson (57), Mrs Marie Lahdiri (47) and Mr Anthony Jones (43), who all joined in on the celebrations. Commenting on the big day,
keen bingo player Mrs Jones said: “The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful on Sunday. Everybody had a great time. I was delighted to see everybody, especially my
' two younger sisters, brother and nephew and nieces who came all the way from Northern Ireland. “There was a big buffet pre
pared by family and everybody had plenty to eat.” The couple were very pleased
when a congratulatory card was sent to them by the Queen. Mr and Mrs Jones explained the
couple’s key to marriage success is: “Get on together with one anoth er, go on holidays frequently and help each out as much as you can - we did and are still very happy.” Our picture shows the happy
couple having reached a milestone. (CR041103/1)
