I been chosen to compete in the nation- , al final of a competition which will be a two-day residential event at the Millennium Copthorne Hotel. Effin­


gham Park, Gatwick, this coming Sunday and Monday.


After a qualifying round for the


Hospitality Apprentice of the Year competition, 24-year-old Jacqueline, Chatburn, was chosen for the national final in which she will answer ques­ tions and perform three tasks already put forward. There will also be individual and


group activities based on the require­ ments of the NVQ Level III assessed by a team of experienced judges and during the national final an opportu­


nity to meet with and compete against other modern apprentices from across the UK Jacqueline joined the kitchen


brigade a t the Spread Eagle just before Christmas in 2002 and has found it to be her true vocation. She attended Moorland School


before joining the sixth form at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, fol­ lowed by university. Now she attends Blackburn Cater­


ing College one day each week doing her NVQ Level I II, having already


passed her I and II levels in the first year. Through the college she received a


work placement in France at Chateau Chinon, and for two of those weeks she worked in the kitchen of the Hotel Le Bon Laboureurat. On a recent trip to Nice where all


the staff of the Spread Eagle were treated to a late “Christmas” party by the owners, Nigel and Ysanne Williams, the chef cum patron of the Michelin star restaurant L’Ane Rouge, where they had lunch, offered


Jacqueline a placement in his kitchen. She said: “I have yet to make up her mind if I should go or not”. There is no family connection with cooking apart from Jacqueline’s moth­ er’s influence as she grew up, although her grandfather was a butcher in Bacup for many years, so good quality meat is an essential part of cooking. The overall winners of each modern


apprentice route will be invited to a presentation lunch at the Hilton Park Lane, London, as a guest of the British Hospitality Association.

| Canoe Club open day proves a hit for all ages by Faisa Af zaal


PADDLERS turned out in force to an open day held at Clitheroe Canoe Club on Saturday. Crowds of budding canoeists


flocked to the purpose-built facility in Sawley Road, Chat- burn, where they had an excel- - lent opportunity to take on a new challenge and at the same time enjoy an exciting sport for free. Civic guests at the fun-filled


event included Ribble Valley Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. Charles Warkman and Mrs, Ruth Warkman, who later in the day took their turn in a canoe! Visitors also had a chance to


meet Mr Len Hartley, who is the British Canoe Union’s pad- dlesport and coaching develop­


ment officer for the Northwest and Yorkshire regions. Speaking on the successful


day, the club’s chairman, Mr Jonathan Downing, said: “We hold these regular open days to encourage people to experience different types of kayaks and canoes and to obviously have fun while getting wet! “The feedback has been very


positive and we are hoping to stage another open day in the near future.” The club is a non-profit mak­


ing family orientated establish­ ment and offers opportunities in recreational and competitive canoeing and kayaking to peo­ ple of all ages. Anyone interested in trying


canoeing can contact Mr Down­ ing on 01200 423962., or can obtain details by visiting the club’s website at www.clitheroe- canoeclub.org.uk.


Making the most of bugs and creepy crawlies!


CASTLE CEMENT will cele­ brate its commitment to the envi­ ronment during National Insect Week (June 14th to 20th) with a series of fun events and activities for local schoolchildren at its Rib- blesdale Works, in Clitheroe. “Bug Week” will embrace the parts of the quarries that are now


, valuable wildlife habitats, giving voung insect enthusiasts the


opportunity to learn more about the vast range of insects and other wildlife which have made the quar­


ries their home. The evolution of wildlife habi­


tats at Ribblesdale follows major investment from Castle Cement in substantial tree planting pro­ grammes. Ecological survey work carried out by the company there


industry and wildlife can exist side by side. In a pilot scheme between Lane-


head Quarry and the River Ribble, for example, Castle Cement have created and landscaped a large pond, which has attracted breed­ ing moorhen and willow warbler. The company’s sponsorship of


National Insect Week, a new ini­ tiative from the Royal Entomolog­


ical Society is, the the company, further evidence of its commit­ ment to the environment. The aim is to increase the aware­


ness of insects among the general public, and in the run-up to Bug Week and National Insect Week, Castle Cement is running a compe­ tition through local schools for children to write a poem on their favourite creepy-crawly.
