land Wader Project Officer, wants to hear from farmers in specific areas who are interested in joining the scheme. Those ai'eas are around Chipping and
Dunsop Bridge in the Ribble Valley and, nearer Lancaster, around Abbeystead and to the south-east of Wray. Membership of the Countryside

the Forest of Bowland supports impor tant numbem of breeding birds such as curlews, lapwings and snipe. There is no doubt that a number of traditional activities have been responsible for keep ing th^e birds on local farms and if we are to ensure their long-term future it is essential that more areas are linked to agri-environment schemes such as Countryside Stewardship.” Mr Simon Stott, who farms near

Help us to combat
this terrible disease CANCER RESEARCH UK is launching a major new breast cancer prevention trial and is looking for post-menopausal women, who are at an increased risk of the disease, to take part. Breast cancer is more common in older
women with more than 80 per cent of cases occurring after the menopause. Other factors, such as a family history of
breast cancer, can Increase the risk. Each year, there are over 41,000 new cases
of breast cancer diagnosed in the UK, and we believe that it may be possible to prevent sev eral thousand of these. The new study will investigate whether a
drug called anastrozole is effective in prevent ing breast cancer.
Anastrozole has already been used to suc ,
cessfully treat breast cancer in a large research trial and very few side effects have been reported. We believe that it may also be able to prevent the disease in a large proportion of cases. To take part, women must be post

Support big breakfast
and help save lives I AM writing to ask your readers to join me and support a very special event to raise money for Cancer Research UK - an organi sation dedicated to curing cancer faster. Britain’s Biggest All-Day Breakfast is tak
ing place for the sixth time on March 12th, 2004, and being sponsored by Tropicana orange juice. We are aiming to raise a massive £250,000
this year, but need your help to do this. All you need to do is invite friends, family
or colleagues along to a breakfast party. If you are not an early riser, there’s no need
to worry as parties can be held at any time throughout the day. By asking each of your guests for a small
donation, you’ll be making a fantastic contri bution to the fundraising effort. This is a really fun event and something I
have enjoyed doing for the past five years. Cancer touches so many people’s lives, includ ing my own, and holding a breakfast party is a terrific way of raising funds for the charity while having a great time. So make a date now and sign up for
Britain’s Biggest All-Day Breakfast. Just call the breakfast hotline on 08701
602040 to register and receive some handy fundraising tips to help make your party go with a swing. You can also register online at
