AROUND 60 youngsters from Clitheroe and the surrounding area enjoyed a week­ end under canvas a t Waddow Hall, Waddington. The children were grouped in small


teams and got to work straight away on a series of team challenges. These included shaving a foam covered balloon and a scavenger hunt, in which they had to seek


out, among other things, the fattest slug and the wiggliest worm. Other highlights of the weekend were a camp fire and a 150-foot waterslide The camp, staffed mainly by members


of Clitheroe Community Church, has been held annually since 2002,iwith each year taking a different theme. As its title, Camp Miraculous, suggests, mira­


cles in the Bible were the topic this year. Children took part in an outdoor


“walk-a-mime”, with each team miming a miracle for the others to guess. “There was a great team atmosphere


among both staff and children,” said camp leader Mrs Christine Longden. “We’re already making plans for next


year!”

i THERE is something special about


^ summer entertaining. For a start there is a choice between eat-


ing'indoors or out, and maybe because of that, there is more space to invite more peo­


ple. Add the fact that you can be spontaneous


and offer friends and family an easily pre­ pared salad and chilled drinks, so without any trouble, meals become occasions. That relaxed, attractive informality


should be reflected on the table. In the sum­ mer you can have fun with table settings, and inexpensively make them the star of


the show. There is no need for the time-consuming


chore of preparing starched linen and get­ ting out ornate china more suited to formal


winter dinners. In fact, for those al fresco meals on sultry


summer evenings you need quite different,


lighter effects and pretty touches. You could even use brightly-coloured


plastic picnic ware, pebbles gathered from a beach, a bunch of fresh flowers and a child’s seaside bucket to hold the cutlery and, hey presto, there is a table with a holi­


day feel. Emily Chalmers, author of Table Inspi­


rations,” says: “One of my favourites for the summer is a Mediterranean-themed set­


ting. “Stick to a colour theme of the area s


characteristic colours, white, bright pinl^ and sea blue. Chunky glassware, blue and white china, and plain white candles are ideal. Then add colour with bougainvillaea if you have it or put house plants in alu­ minium buckets or small terracotta pots to create a real Mediterranean environment. Set the scene with candles in simple g to


jars, planted in sand. Pet shops and aquatic supplies stock coloured sand in shades oi ; pink and blue that would be suitable for a


Mediterranean-style table. Use brightly-coloured squares of cotton


or denim for napkins, holiday snaps dis- played under clear glass place mats, clever colour combinations in dinnerware, and


summer tables will stun. IfensaI

AN inspired summer table setting, using shells, pebbles and simple aluminium tins and buckets (s) Emily Chalmers says: “Even if it’s day­


light when you eat it’s always special to have candles on the table, and it means your guests can sit around until the light goes down. Lanterns are fun, too, and per­ fect to ensure candles stay alight in the breeze when dining outdoors.” Her style tip: Choose small glass jars for


little candles, and be inventive with what candles are ‘planted’ in. White sand, gravel


or dishwasher salt is ideal. Keep the colour scheme simple and


uncomplicated, using neutrals and shades of white, as the greenery and plants in the surroundings will provide the contrast.
