Couple flummoxed by wedding custom


FLUMMOXED! That was the reaction of a newly-married couple leaving Downham Parish Church after their wedding when they, found the gates tied together, says the priest- in-charge, the Rev. Rodney Nicholson. ' i Mr Nicholson has a “Chatburm-Downham Round Up” in the magazine of St Paul’s, Clitheroe, where he is the vicar, and tells the story of the flummoxed couple. , He indicates that he too was not aware of


the custom, but says that, being in the pic­ ture, he can now warn futurecouples. Small change was donated to meet the cus­ tom’s demands. The wedding was one of three


at the church within a few weeks. “ 1 '

Schools in Baroque musical link-up


THE preparatory school of Oakhill College, Whalley, has teamed up with Salesbury School as part of its study of music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras. The recorder is an. important musical


instrument in both of the schools’ musical curriculum and Oakhill was recently delighted by the visit of Salesbury pupils to perform a concert for Oakhill’s Preparatory School. Nearer Christmas, Oakhill will return the compliment and visit Salesbury. Jane Duckworth, a former pupil of


Oakhill’s head of music, Mrs Hall, and who is now studying the recorder at Trinity College, London; also played two very difficult pieces by Handel and Telemann to demonstrate the skill and virtuosity of recorder players in the Renaissance and Baroque eras. • Daniel Caton, an Oakhill GCSE music stu-


' dent. gave a rendition of Pachebel Canon on the keyboard to demonstrate a Baroque piece being played on a more modem instrument.

ry of Hicks member Angie Walmsley, who died earlier this year at the age of 29. All the money raised by the


marathon challenge will go to the Round Table Children’s Wishes charity, which helps to make dreams come true for chil­ dren with terminal illnesses. Angie’s love of children was well- known and was the reason why the charity was chosen. Health club owner Mandy


Walmsley said: “Angie’s death has left an emptiness in lots of people’s lives and it was a plea­ sure to help this worthy cause in her memory. “I would like to thank all who


helped to make the event so suc­ cessful, especially all the Hicks staff and instructors who spent many hours preparing and- organising to make the day run as smoothly as possible.” I t was certainly an action-


packed day, with 12 one-hour classes running back to back. Classes such as aerobics, body- pump, step, circuits, boxercise, bums ’n turns and stretch ’n flex ran throughout the day, with members taking part in as many as possible.


Members’ children were also


kept on their toes during a Kidz Klass, which gave their parents a well-earned rest. Gym users also did their bit,


signing up to make sure that at least one treadmill, exercise bike, rower or cross-trainer was run­ ning constantly for the full 12 hours. Our picture shows Mandy


Walmsley holding the cheque, with some of the other fund-rais­ ers looking on.

Charity puddings led to business success


by Duncan Smith


PROTOTYPE puddings from a Gisburn farmhouse kitchen helped to raise char­ ity cash at one of the first Macmillan Cancer Relief coffee mornings. Five years on, those delicious


puddings are on sale in super­ market aisles, the fledgling com­


pany that created them is firm­ ly established in Clitheroe and the Macmillan coffee mornings make up the biggest charity event of its kind in the world. The company, formed shortly


after tha t Macmillan coffee morning five years ago, was


Farmhouse Fare. It began life in the kitchen of Helen Colley’s family farm in Gisbum. Her prototype puddings


proved very popular five years ago and were an early foretaste of the company’s success since then. It is now based in new premises on the Salthill Industrial Estate, Clitheroe, providing jobs for 25 people and supplying supermar­ ket chains, including Asda, Booths, Sainsburys, Costco and makro.

CLITHEROE textile company James Thorn- ber Ltd was called in to make special curtains for a Blackburn school. The parents' associa­


tion of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Black­ burn, presented the new curtains for the main assembly hall at a formal ceremony. The curtains are part of a £10,000 upgrade to the hall that was completed over the summer. Directors Mark and


James Thomber, both for­ mer pupils of QEGS, were present as the curtains were accepted with


thanks expressed on the school's behalf by chair­ man of governors, Mr Christopher Haworth. The curtains incorpo­


rate the school's tradition­ al symbol of the Magister, the schoolmaster, woven into the fabric. Mr Haworth said he was very impressed indeed with the curtains and the crafts­ manship that had gone into their production. Pictured, from the left,
