[SPRING has arrived, and [with it a new generation of [birds and lambs in the For- |est of Bowland. Lancashire County Coun-


Icil's Countryside Service is [therefore asking dog owners | to take care over the next | few months. Most people are aware

| owner’s close control, can | cause pregnant ewes to lose. I their unborn lambs. Ground | nesting birds are also easily | disturbed but are not always |easytospot. You can help by: • Keeping your dog on a


■lead. • Not disturbing any live--

Club reports on a


good year at AGM AT last week’s well-attended annual meeting of the Ribblesdale Camera Club, chairman Stephen Robinson reported a good year. . Almost all the lecturers had been excellent -


although one forgot to arrive, the improvised meeting was probably equally enjoyable. An interesting aspect of the year was the


generally high standard of competitions and the success, of relative newcomers to the club. However, one or two people tried the club


but did not continue. Their views were wel­ come, as improvements were always sought. Secretary Ken Geddes said that the reports


- of club meetings in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times were very well received, far beyond its own membership.


. , Treasurer John Bradley reported th a t


finances were stable but owning its own premises meant that significant unplanned expenditure could always arise for the club. Investigation of possible Lottery money for updating of specific equipment was under way, other clubs having been successful. Sub­ scriptions would continue unchanged, for the second successive year. Joanna Creighton said' that competitions


were well-supported and were a good way of seeing members’work. The current officers continue unchanged


except that Jeff Cowling takes over as vice- chairman. The summer programme will contain a few


full-day trips as well as the usual,Tuesday evenings. Workshops will be run on portrai­ ture, presentation of albums and slide shows, camera basics and mounting prints. New members are always welcome at the


club’s Chatburn. clubroom on any Tuesday evening from September. For the summer pro­ gramme, information is available from secre­ tary Ken Geddes on 01200 423474.

Experts warn that yo-yo ball craze could threaten children’s lives


OFFICERS from Lancashire Trading Standards are alert­ ing the public and retailers to the potential hazards posed by the la te s t craze, yo-yo ball toys.


' - v . The toys consist of a brightly-


coloured, liquid-filled rubber ball a tta ch ed to a s tre tch y rubber cord. They are typically sold for £1 to


£ 2. The Trading Standards Service


has been advised of several inci­ dents throughout the UK includ­ ing one in Lancashire. These toys have nearly strangled children a f te r the cords have


become wrapped around their necks. The liquid-filled ball is thrown.


and returned by the elastic cord, which stretches very thinly without breaking. If the yo-yo ball is swung about


the head, the cord can wind tightly around the neck arid throat present­ ing a potential strangulation haz­ ard. ■ Examples of the toy. have beeri examined by a paediatric safety con­ sultant who concluded they were clearly a hazard. Lancashire Trading Standards


Officers have contacted importers,. who are taking steps to remove the toys from sale.


They strongly advise parents to


consider taking the toys away from children and are recommending that retailers also take them off sale or face potential legal action. ■ Lancashire County Council’s.


Cabinet Member for Public Protec­ tion and Rural Affairs, County Coun. Doreen Pollitt, said: “The safety of children is of the utmost importance. “These toys pose a clear risk of


strarigulation.and parents should take steps to prevent their children playing with them.


. ' “Retailers should act responsibly


and ensure stocks of the toy are removed from sale.” .
