years with Ultraframe I have seen huge technological advances in both the company and in the con­ servatory products we produce. It is a great environment to work in, with great people and I can hard­ ly believe how fast the last 20 years have gone by!" Terry is also taking part in a

Maritime merriment m | mEh6I


ALL aboard for an authentic 18th Century maritime experience which will be setting sail in Clitheroe in the New Year. As part of events to


commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, Clitheroe- based organisation Thirty Miles from Shore has planned a special night out for January 22nd. Formed by Force, the


friends of St Mary’s, and affiliated to SeaBritain 2005, Thirty Miles From Shore is aiming to re-cre­ ate a meal in the great cabin of a frigate, but on dryland. The man behind the


idea, local naval historian Steve Ragnall, says Thirty Miles from Shore is plan­ ning to host its own mar-


itime festival in Clitheroe with events taking place in line with other celebra­ tions nationwide. The firs t event on its


calendar will be at St Mary’s Centre in January. I t will include a special maritime concert, with many traditional sailors’ songs, and will culminate with dinner in the great cabin where an authentic 18th Century meal mil be


dished up. Steve hopes those who


attend will get into the true spirit of the occasion by dressing in Georgian or naval costume. Limited places are available at £40 per head, including the concert, meal, souvenir programme and drinks. ' For more details contact Steve on 01200 425316.

EMPLOYERS in the Ribble Valley are to face legal chal­ lenges if they refuse to take on older people who are capa­ ble of doing the job, says a Euro-MP. Liberal Democrat MEP Chris


Davies has welcomed the Gov­ ernment’s bid to put new EU laws against age discrimination into practice.


PUPILS at St Mary’s RC School in Sabden certainly know their stuff when it comes to fire safety. The four-strong team from the


small school became Kibble Valley fire safety champions in a tough competition at Burnley Football Club’s Foundation Lounge. And they came second in the district- mde competition when they were up against 300 teams. The final, at the football club;


was organised by Peter Harvey, of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Ser­ vices, who said he was impressed at the level of knowledge of the pupils. ■The proud pupils, who all


received a medal and a shield for the school, are Patrick Keane, Imo­ gen Storey and Francesca Theaker of Year 5, and Jonathan Stockton and William Taylor of Year 6.

geism in work It is estimated that 1.8 million


people between the ages of 55 and 64 have suffered ageism in employment. Complaints range from not


being offered the same training as others to losing a job or not being employed for a position they are able and MUing to do. Latest government figures for the North West show that 66%


of men aged 50 to 64 and women aged 50 to 59 are working. This compares to around 80% of peo­ ple in the 25 to 49 bracket. The EU Employment Direc­


tive means that in 2006 new laws will make it illegal to discrimi­ nate against someone in the workplace on grounds of age. Instead of having separate bodies working on race, gender


and disability discrimination, the Government has decided to bring these together under one roof. “More than 20 million over-


50s in the UK have no statutory body to promote and protect their rights on the basis of age,” said Mr Davies. “I am glad the government has Included ageism in the new commission.”
