Dealing with diabetes on holiday


HOW to deal with diabetes while travelling or on holiday was the subject of a talk by Diabetes Specialist Nurse Mr John Firth a t the August meeting of the Ribble Valley Diabetic Group. Points made by Mr Firth,


from Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary, who is himself a diabet­ ic on insulin, included split­ ting up medication if possible, carrying it inside the car or in hand luggage (as insulin could freeze in the hold of an air­ craft) and ensuring that the holiday insurance would cover any problems.


I t would also be useful to


check on medical facilities in the area where staying. Before travelling, diabetics


should inform the travel com­ pany or airline th a t sharp


. objects for medical reasons were being carried in hand luggage. A standard letter from doc­


tors and hospitals was avail­ able. The chairman, Mr Gordon


Dixon, informed members th a t the donation for a research project under the auspices of Diabetes UK would go to stem cell research.


Consultant Dr A. Vijayku-


mar, from Blackburn Royal Infirmary, will speak about diabetes and eyes at the next meeting on Monday, Septem­ ber 13th, at 7-30 p.m., at the Young Farmers' Centre at Lincoln Way, Clitheroe. All diabetics, their carers,


relatives or friends are wel­ come at meetings. The cost is 50p per meeting


to cover the cost of the room and refreshments. ■rhe secretary, Mrs Jean


Miller, will be pleased to answer inquiries on 01254 824312.

tiDDRYGimLICK The Perfect


Combination


(NAFAS) two-and-a-half years to plan, began on Friday to a backdrop of bright sunshine. More than 70 flower clubs and


300 members took part in the festival, which featured more than 100 exhibits over two floors with a sculpture garden outside.


NAFAS spokeswoman Mrs


Josephine. Yates said: “Everyone was really impressed and there was a real party atmosphere especially outside.” She added that a special team of volunteers had to be employed to continu­ ously walk around the college spraying the displays in order to save them from wilting in the sweltering heat. A series of themed areas creat­


ed out of plants, flowers and other materials was staged throughout the college buildings. As visitors entered the college


they passed a display of more than 1,000 sunflowers before admiring opera-themed flower exhibits winding up the stair­ case. The school’s Top Refectory with its gallery took on a Shake­ spearian theme, whilst along the


Top Galley there were displays following a shopping mall theme. Sawley designer Lois Gill co-


ordinated a striking J. R r Tolkien Lord of the Rings exliibi it in the Academy Room, which


proved a favourite with the youngsters.


; In the Church of St Peter,


flower exhibits depicted his life story, while outside visitors could admire eight large sculp- tures of the saint.


Other attractions included


daily floral demonstrations from experts such as Hans Haverkamp, Sue Davies, Gerry Reid and Nicky Ledsom, a col­ lectors’ fair and trade stands. Proceeds raised from the festival will be donated to the North West Air Ambulance and Inter­ national Aid Trust.
