Sadness at death of popular David


POPULAR Kibble Valley man Mr David Barrott, who was well knovm locally for his talent as a singer and his passion for sport, will be remembered by loved ones at his funeral tomor­ row. David (pictured), who was


bom in Barrow, near Clitheroe, before moving to Whalley at the age of three, lost his long battle with Alzheimers disease last Wednesday aged just 63. Developing a love for sport


from an early age, David, a former pupil of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, played for Calderstones’ foot­ ball team, before going on to play for Ribchester and becoming a referee for the Lan­ cashire League. However, his real passion was


cricket and after playing for local teams for many years, he went on to become an lunpire. David’s other passion in life


was his family - which includes his wife, Christine, daughter Amanda and late son Ian. Meeting his wife proved a


memorable occasion in more than one sense - as it was Cup Final day in 1963 when, Manchester United, of who David was an avid fan, was playing Leicester City. Manchester United won and


every year after this first meet­ ing, David presented Christine with a flower, a tradition that continued after their marriage in 1966. Christine will, in turn, be laying 38 flowers on David’s coffin to symbolise her grati­ tude for 38 years of marriage. When first married the cou­


ple lived in Copster Green, before moving to Salesbury near Wilpshire during which time David acted as sidesman for the village church and was chairman of the Keys Club, a men’s society connected with the church. David, who worked for Mid-


land Bank, later HSBC, for around 30 years at various branches including Burnley, Blackburn and Bolton, also had a passion for singing. For many years, David was


an active member of Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Oper­ atic and Dramatic ^ i e t y per­ forming in numerous produc­ tions including Oklahoma, Carousel and Kiss Me Kata However, due to his failing


health, David was forced to retire from work in 1993 and shortly after tha t was diag­ nosed with Alzheimers, The couple, who also have


two grandsons, Sam and Dominic, made their home in Sabden around 15 years ago - a home which David loved due to its proximity to Pendle Hill. His wife said one of David’s favourite pastimes was walking over Pendle and before the funeral, the hearse will make a special trip over Pendle for David one last time. Christine has expressed her


thanks to family and friends as well as her work colleagues from Booths and local villagers tor all the support and condo­ lence messages she has received. She also thanked the staff at


Castleford Home for the Elder­ ly and Belgarth Nursing Home in Barrowford, who provided David with “wonderful care" during his stay with them.

Curry night spices-up church’s appeal fund


by Chris Score


SAFFRON, coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg... the scents of east­ ern spices and flavours filled the banqueting room at the Shajan restainant as 52 fas­ cinated parishioners and vil­ lagers from Ribchester watched proprietor Shaju demonstrate the art of Indi­ an cooking. Fortunately their hunger


pangs had already been eased with delicious poppadoms and starters! The evening was part of the


St Wilfrid's Church “Faith and Heritage Appeal”. I t came about like this: Fr


John Francis, the Rector of Ribchester and Vicar of St Saviour, Stydd, sat in the Sha­ jan one evening earlier this year, a careworn look upon his face. Noticing his expression, pro­


prietor Shaju inquired whether something was amiss. Father John explained th a t he had money problems, big money problems. He needed to raise £200,000


by December for the essential maintenance of the two church­ es.


“What can I do?” was the


generous response from Shaju. The result was a splendid


banquet and, between courses, a chance to see how to make the best onion bhajis, chicken korma, lamb karahi and pilau rice. Shaju explained what he was doing with precision, mod­ esty and with humour - and he remained calm when flames shot up and the atmosphere in the room briefly resembled that of the busy Shajan kitchen!


“He should be on TV” was


one comment overheard. Shaju was most ably assisted


by one of his chefs, R. Kumar, formerly with the prestigious international Taj Hotels group. He concluded the demonstra­


tion by introducing his bread chef, who took a ball of soft dough in his hands and turned it into a splendid naan in sec­ onds. The evening was greatly enjoyed by all and £500 was
