Farmers can find out all about new reforms


NEXT year will be a monumental one for Lancashire farmers - and it is fast approaching. In 2005, the much heralded reform of


agricultural support - Common Agricul­ tural Policy Reform - \vill become a reality as subsidies given to farmers are finally de­ coupled from production. As with the initial announcement and


the subsequent roll-out of information statements, the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) is committed to keeping its mem­


bers as informed as possible during the build up to the new Single Farm Payment. Now Ribble Valley farmers can get up to


speed with the latest developments at a local meeting planned for this month. The NFU’s Lancashire County chair­


man, Albert Webster, said: "We have got ■ together with Yorkshire Bank and organ­ ised a number of meetings in the county aimed at giving members the most up-to- date information on the subject. "These meetings mil include a review of cross compliance, the new rules with

Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, on Wednes­ day, starting at 1 p.m. Another is planned for The Crofters


Hotel, Garstang, on Monday starting at 7- 30 p.m.


' Mr Webster added: “These promise to


be very interesting meetings and we would urge as many people as possible to attend given the importance of this issue."

A LIVELY evening with a good turnout marked the annual general meeting of the Chatburn and Dis­ trict Branch of the Royal British Legion. I t was held in the Pendle Hotel,


Chatburn, on November 24th, where president Mr Colin Wiseman wel­ comed everyone and thanked the com­ mittee for their hard work over the past year. Chairman Mr Horace Hudson gave


his annual report outlining the events of a successful year, including a mem­ bership update, and announced that he was stepping down as chairman, but was willing to remain on the com­ mittee. Membership is healthy, with 79


members and more joining soon, although members were saddened by the deaths of Mr E. Read, Mr H. Woods, Mr J. Roberts and Mr H. Jolly this year. Mr Neville Croasdale also announced his retirement as Poppy


Appeal Organiser after 10 years’ dedi­ cated service to the appeal, in which time he has encouraged the branch to raise more than £36,500 for the Poppy Appeal. Dr Nigel Graveston, chairman and


medical director of the Gulf War Vet­ erans’ and Families’ Association, gave a thought-provoking talk about the effects of Gulf War Syndrome on Ser­ vice veterans that has been shrouded in "secrecy, obfuscation, deviousness and downright dishonesty". In the past month, the Lloyd


Inquiry Report has acknowledged th a t this is a genuine illness attributable to the veterans' service during the two Gulf Wars. Dr Graveston urges more honesty


and openness by the Government and Civil Service in addressing the prob­ lems and hardship some Gulf War vet­ erans are now experiencing. Mr Colin Wiseman was re-elected as


branch president, with Mr Boden as vice-president. Dr Denis Brennan was elected as chairman, Mr Horace Hud­ son as treasurer and membership sec­ retary, Mrs Mandy Brennan as secre-


J


tary and Mr Mark Hayton as stan­ dard bearer. Additional Committee members are


Mr Dan Bradbury, Mr Geoff Lawson, Mrs Christine Pickles and Mr Don


Partington. A Poppy Appeal Organis­ er is still required, if interested please contact the secretary on 01200 441551. Pictured are members and friends of the Chatburn and District Branch of


the Royal British Legion at the ACM. They are, from the left, Mr and Mrs Braithwaite, Dr Brennan, Mrs Jack- son, Mr Croasdale, Miss Bairstow, Dr Graveston and Mr Wiseman, (s)

CASH to boost funds for local charities has been raised by three generous men. Mr John Wilson, of Castle Cement,


and Mr Derek Harwood, of 3M Health­ care, each donated a £500 cheque to Northwest Air Ambulance. The duo raised the money through


social events a t their masonic lodges and presented the cheques to representatives from the sponsored walkers’ group at


Castle Cement, who have been raising funds for the air ambulance. Mr Keith Hall, of Castle Cement, also gave a dona­ tion of £500 towards local charities, which was raised through garden parties organised by the Keep Lodge in Clitheroe. Our picture shov/s Mr Wilson, Mr Har­

IMAGES of a very high standard were enjoyed by members of Ribblesdale Cam­ era Club when they viewed the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union's cur­


rent slide folio. The pictures were accompanied by a


commentary tape that was unusually infor­ mative, humorous and clearly recorded. An interesting question raised by a mem­


ber was whether it was appropriate that computer-aided montages should be included in a slide competition and its sub­


sequent folio. Should only unmodified photographs be allowed, with all else restricted to the print


classes? This provoked a lively discussion, result­


ing in the view that there should possibly be separate classes for prints, projected slides or projected digital files in club com­ petitions.

Thought-provoking issues at meeting The previous week, members held a slide


forum with the best slides on the night for­ warded to the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union for its slide knock-out competition, held on Saturday. The standard was extraordinarily high


and the local club ended up 23rd out of 24 clubs entered. ■ Club secretary Ken Geddes said it might have been better for members to submit their best slides for the forum, but whether this would have made a difference was impossible to know. However, the quality of photography in the club was far higher than the result would imply. Next week Mr Alf Hoole, from Accring­


ton, mil talk through "A Pile of Prints". , He is a dedicated print worker who has


exhibited his work in many places. Inquiries about the club can be made on 440868 or 423474.
