NFU’s support for historic pay option
THE National Farmers’ Union has told the Gov ernment that it supports the historic option for making support payments to farmers under the reformed Common Agri
cultural Policy. In a response to.
DEFRA’s consultation bn how to implement the recently-agreed reforms, the NFU says that while neither option is perfect it firmly supports this option in preference to the region al one. The decision follows
unanimous agreement by NFU Council earlier this month that the new system must be simple, minimise redistribution, be market focused and keep money with farmers. The NFU has weighed up
the options against these agreed criteria after seeking clarification from DEFRA about the range of varia tions to each system permis sible within the regulation. NFU President Sir Ben Gill said: "The question of

CALDERWOOD- HELLEWELL
■ I t transported guests on the famous Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where both the bride and bridegroom spend much of their spare time. The bride is the daughter of Mr and
Byron Hellewell and James Andrew Calderwood hired a special railway engine, “The Wedding Belle”, as the unusual venue for their evening reception.
Mrs Nicholas and Anne-MarieTlellewell, of Holden, near Bolton-by-Bowland. She works as a physiotherapist at Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax, but spends her spare time shovelling coal as a “fireman” on the footplate of steam trains in the Worth Valley. Her bridegroom is the son of Mrs
Muriel Bywater, of Keighley, and Mr Andrew Wildman, of Crossroads, Keigh ley.
He works as a conductor on Arriva
Trains and is also a volunteer on the Keighley and Worth Valley line. The couple were married at St Michael
and All Angels’ Church, Haworth, where the service was conducted by Rev. Canon David Mewis. Given away by her father, the bride wore
a three-piece gown in pure silk regal dupi- on with a corn silk skirt and detachable train, an embroidered organza bustier in cream, with corn silk pipings, and a sheer organza embroidered shrug jacket to match. She carried a teardrop bouquet of cream
vandela roses, viburnum, poppy seed heads, eucalyptus, bear grass and tropical foliage. Bridesmaids Laura Harrison and the
bride’s sister Emma Hellewell wore wine- coloured full-length dresses with fine straps and matching wraps. They carried posies to complement the bride’s bouquet. Best man was Mark Moorehead and the
groomsmen were Sam MacDougall, Steven Langthome and Mike Richmond. The couple exited the church through an
archway of firemen’s shovels, held aloft by fellow steam train enthusiasts. A daytime reception was held at the
Coniston Hotel, Coniston Cold, prior to the evening reception aboard The Wedding Belle. The couple were due to honeymoon in
Italy before making their home in Haworth.

sultation, the NFU also says it is in favour of decoupling seed aid and of early decou pling of the dairy premium. The NFU argues vehe
mently against the introduc tion of the so-called national envelope. Sir Ben added: "This is a form of partial decoupling, which both the NFU and DEFRA Secre-

WIN! Tii
AS well as the local interest at the Rugby World Cup down under, Clitheroe and Australia have been th ru s t together in another form. A Queensland Futsal team,
who had been on tour in England for 18 days, arranged two friend lies with Clitheroe Wolves after a chance meeting with George Hib- bert. Having enjoyed training with
Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers, games were set-up with an Under 15/16 Girls and Boys side.
Oz date for the Wolves! But despite a good crowd turn
ing out at Shawbridge - the home of Clitheroe FC - the locals suf fered two defeats at the hands of their antipodean counterparts. The boys’ put up a spirited
fight, and seized the initiative early on with a 25-yard free-kick from Liam Gidlow. • As the half progressed, the
Aussies grew in confidence, and showed their true ability with a
quick brace from Simon Perkins. Sam Smith put the visitors fur
ther ahead, but a second goal for Wolves from Danny Hickling made the final stages a tense affair. Unfortunately, their female
counterparts also went down to defeat, this time by a 3-1 margin. Wolves went in at the break 3-0 down, courtesy of Tali Ehrenre-
ich, Tess Whiteman and an own goal. However, a spirited comeback
in the second half resulted in Karen Hanson smashing a volley past the visiting keeper to salvage some pride. Wolves chairman George Hib-
bert awarded the visitors with a commemorative medal, also receiving an Australian themed clock on behalf of the club.
