If you have new ideas ^ucky 13 as the Wolves t is t ree- ay event jj0unce jjacjj jn fjne style is just what you need
by Duncan Smith
HAVE you ever had an idea for a new product or device that you , believe would help mankind in a big or small way, but not known how to take the
next step? Sometimes inspiration can go to
waste because potential inventors are simply unaware of how to turn their ideas into reality. Now a joint venture between
Blackburn-based Ideas North West and TechNet NW is hoping to put this problem right with a series of free, three-day events to be held across Lancashire and the North West. The first Empowering Innovation
Days will be held at Eanam Wharf, Blackburn, today, tomorrow and Sat urday, October 16th, 17th and 18th. Across the three days, inventors,
will be able to meet with advisers on issues such as patents and intellectu al property rights, as well as gaining a
k e t .
comprehensive overview of how to take an idea'to production and mar ,
Ideas North West co-founder Mr
John Hornsby, said: “Ideas North West is an organisation founded on the hard-bitten personal experience of taking an invention to market- “While organisations like Business
Link are an excellent resource for new businesses, there is nothing out there,
on a local level, specifically to help people with an inventive idea. • - “Since we s ta rted Ideas North
West, we have found there is a huge amount of invention across Lan cashire and the North West and have had calls from local inventors who have been sitting on ideas for 20 years without making a move forward. “So far we have helped get four
new products on to the market from local inventors and everyday get around five calls from inventors with new ideas. “We believe the Empowering Inno
vation Days will be an excellent way of helping local inventors get the advice and guidance they need and

will provide an opportunity to meet the kind of people who might be able to turn their, idea;-into a working, money-making product.”. Doors Will be op^n from 10 a.m. to
.6 p.m. today and tomorrow and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Ideas North West provides help
and support to individuals and busi nesses who have innovative ideas and require assistance,‘ meeting individ ual needs and offering help with areas of concern. Advice and information is aimed at providing support from the initial idea right through to the fin ished product. Co-founder Brian Foote, formerly
a bus driver from Blackburn, invent ed a revolutionary splint for hand injuries after sustaining an injury himself. Working together, Mr Hornsby
and Mr Foote developed the Ossy Levered Outrigger Splint which is now used in occupational therapy throughout the NHS and has had interest expressed from the medical market in the USA.

Netball club set for tough test against cream of the country
RIBBLE Valley Netball Club booked their place in the National Under 16 Finals, after victory over Darwen in Blackpool. Teams from across the North West
descended on Stanley Park on Sunday in the National Youth qualifying rounds. Their, first game saw them take on a
Burnley side who they had never previ ously beaten, but after a jittery first half emerged 12-9 victors.
The locals then continued to play well,
gaining good wins against Dominoes, Stamford and top favourites YWCA Bury. This placed them top of their division
and to play the fourth placed team from the other division. That then saw them paired with Dar
wen, who were eventually brushed aside after a cautious first half.
Book captures some Valley gems
A NEW book entitled "Halls and Manor Houses df North East Lan cashire" is on the shelves at local bookshops. Forty of the 87 properties included
are from the Ribble Valley. Waddington) Dunsop Bridge,
Read, Sabden, Newton, Chipping, Whalley - the book takes a trip around the Valley and unveils little- known facte about many of the build- •
ings and their history. Artist Neil Webster has captured
the grandeur of many of the buildings in detailed line drawings, which are accompanied by fascinating snippets of history. Samleshury Hall dominates the
-front cover of the 192-page hardback' -book, while, deservedly, Clitheroe Castle is the first building illustrated within its pages.
. The Burnley author has no formal art training, but worked as a design draughtsman for an engineering com pany. His love of drawing buildings with an historical interest ultimately
A
led to the book being produced. In the early pages, he acknowledges
the help he has received from the for mer and present occupants of some of the properties, and local historians. The area the book covers falls with
in lands granted to Roger de Poitou by William the Conqueror for his ser vices at the Battle of Hastings. The reward for his victory resulted in his gaining almost 400 manors, including around 100 in what is now Lancashire and nearly 80 in Yorkshire. Bashall Hall in Bashall Eaves, is
among the Ribble Valley's architec tural gems. , The half-timbered barn which housed troop barracks has remained virtually unchanged since the 16th Century. The hall was built in 1600 and prior,to Mr and Mrs Barry Barnes' purchase in 1972, the old hall and been in the hands of tenant farm ers, with the great hall used to house chickens. Few of the Ribhle Valley properties are open to visitors, but one, .Brow-
sholme Hall, remains an exception. The Parker family built the first
part of the old hall in 1507 and it is still home today to descendants. Dunnow Hall, Slaidbum, was orig-■
inally named "Battersby". The cur rent hall was built for the King-
• Wilkinson family in the 1830s on the : site of a very much earlier one, believed to be 16th Century, part of which remains in the fabric of the new hall.
Brooke Bond apparently once had
its head office in the Ribhle Valley. Eaves Hall, West Bradford, was bought for £8,000 by the company in
' 1941 - had it not been, it could have been occupied by troops. Staff moved here from London and by 1944 more than 100 staff were working here. After 1961, Brooke Bond kept it has
