SAUSAGE supremo Cliff Cowbum had m outh s watering a t a top North-West restaurant as part of B r it ish Sausage Appreciation Week. He met up with TV chef Lesley


Waters at top Manchester eatery Simply Heathcotes, where best British bangers were definitely dish of the day. The celebrity chef was leading a


team of sausage worshippers on a week-long 13-city tour of the country in a bid to try as many sausage vari­ eties as possible. Cowman’s, the Original Famous


Sausage Shop, in Castle Street, Clitheroe, makes and sells more than 60 sausage varieties, supplying cus­


tomers across the country. Varieties range from traditional high-quality pork to more exotic flavours such as curried beef, Moroccan lamb and Thai pork. Proprietor Cliff Cowburn took


along 25 varieties, which were cooked to perfection by Heathcotes head chef Andy McGuinness for the spe­ cial tasting. Some of the sausages chosen for the event included the famous Clitheroe Hot ’n’ Spicy, the deliciously herby Mancunian, and Ted’s Christmas Special. Everyone at the event, including


Lesley Waters, agreed they were among the finest examples of the sausage makers’ art they had ever tasted.


Valley part of health survey


STAFF in the Ribble Valley employed by the Lancashire NIIS Care Trust could be asked what they think of the organisation as part of a countywide and nationwide survey. Questionnaires have been sent out to a ran­


dom sample of 800 staff to find out what it is like to work for Lancashire Care NIIS Trust. It provides mental health services for


adults, older adults and substance misuse ser­ vices. The results of the survey will be used local­


ly, but also as part of a national NIIS staff survey. Chief executive of the Lancashire Care


NIIS Trust, Finlay Robertson, said: “The views of the people who work for the Trust are invaluable to us. “The results of the survey will help indicate


where things are working well, where they are not working so well and will help us target improvements across the Trust. We will also be able to compare ourselves to other NIIS organisations.” He added: “The results of the survey will


tell us what changes our staff would like to see to improve their working lives and what sort of personal development opportunities they would like to have. "Information provided by staff can be


instrumental in achieving the best possible care for people using our services and their carers. “We have recently held an event for over


120 staff from across the Trust, which was very successful in identifying areas staff felt important and actions they would like to see taken. The action plan drawn up as a response can be strengthened if people take the time to complete and return their questionnaires.” The national staff survey is being organised


by the independent health watchdog, the Commission for Health Improvement. Its acting chief executive Jocelyn Cornwell


said: “Our NIIS workforce survey is the first to be organised on a nationwide basis. We want staff to tell us about the health of the NIIS. Information about staffing and staff morale is critically important to good quality healthcare and healthy organisations are more successful in recruiting and keeping staff.” The core part of the survey will cover issues


such as team working, work-life balance, errors and incidents and leadership and super­ vision. All responses will be treated in strict confidence and the results will be made anonymous before publication. The survey period ends in December and


the results will be published in February or March next year. Approximately 380,000 NIIS staff will be surveyed across England.

came at the end of Sausage Apprecia­ tion Week, when four of Cowman’s varieties won top awards at a product evaluation event at Bolton’s Reebok Stadium. Cowman’s beef, tomato and basil


sausage won a gold medal, while the pork and black pudding, pork, apple and mint, and traditional pork salvages all won silver medals. Each manufacturer was restricted to enter­ ing four varieties - one plain and three specialist - so for all four of Cowman’s entries to win gold or sil­ ver medals was a real accolade.

Glittering evening marks club’s pearl anniversary year


MORE than 50 members and guests gath­ ered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Clitheroe Tangent Club. Its members are mainly the wives and


partners of members of the 41 Club - the organisation for Round Tablers who pass the upper age limit of 40. The Tangent Club meets monthly at


the Moorcock Inn, at Waddington, where activities include guest speakers, charity events and trips away. Held at the Spread Eagle Hotel, Sawley,


the 30th anniversary dinner proved a very successful and enjoyable event. Guest speaker was Mr Ian Smith, of Manchester jewellers Boodle and Dunthorne. In addition to giving a very illuminating


talk, he brought along some spectacular “samples”, including a fabulous string of black Tahitian pearls. Our picture shows Tangent Club mem­


bers and guests at the anniversary dinner, with guest speaker Mr Smith in the centre. (AS281003/1)
