Accident couple flown to safety
THE North West Air Ambu lance was called to two inci dents in Chipping on Sunday. The first took place during
the show when a 75-year-old Red Cross volunteer from Clitheroe fell and suffered a laceration to her leg. Due to heavy traffic and the
location of the event in a field, the air ambulance was scram bled at 1-13 p.m. Flying time from Blackpool
was 10 minutes. The ambu lance crew took the woman to the Royal Preston Hospital in just four minutes. At 4-15 p.m., the air ambu
lance made its second visit to Chipping. Paraglider Phillip Olroyd (60), from Edale in Derbyshire, had crashed while taking part in a competition off Parlick Hill. He had fallen approximately 30 feet from the hill, height 432ft, and had suffered neck injuries. The air ambulance was already en route to another job, but was redirected to the village and at the scene within five minutes of the call. The man was airlifted to
Royal Preston Hopsital in seven minutes. He was stable, but concussed, (s)

College students see how Welsh Assembly operates
AS the debate about devolved government in England hots up, politics students from Stonyhurst College are learn ing about the subject at first hand. Eight students from the final
year at the college visited the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff. They talked to politicians and officials to find out if the new system had benefited the principality. They had a question-and-
answer session with Mr Paul Silk, the Chief Clerk to the assembly, who joined the body after 25 years as Chief Clerk at the Palace of Westminster. He talked about his work in
Westminster and Cardiff and about the work of the Welsh Assembly. He said that, contrary to the
public's perception, the assembly had no power to raise taxes, but it was taking a role in helping the people of Wales, such as providing free breakfasts for school pupils in the country's poorer areas. They then met the youngest
assembly member, 24-year-old Lorna Jones, who represents South Wales East for the Conser vatives, and fellow member Mike
Bigger and better is verdict for fair
by Duncan Smith
EXHIBITS as far as the eye could see and attractions for everyone helped to make Chip ping Steam Fair a weekend to remember. At its new bigger and better
venue in Green Lane, the fair drew visitors in their thousands, encour aged by fine weather. It was opened by the Mayor and
Mayoress of Ribble Valley, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife, Ruth. The civic couple were piped into the arena by Scots piper Jim Mack-
rell. After a damp and drizzly start on
Saturday morning, the skies cleared and the weather improved steadily - a huge relief to organisers who were forced to cancel last year’s fair at the 11th hour after heavy rain turned the showfield to a quagmire. This year everything ran like
clockwork, thanks to a small army of stewards and volunteers. Con gestion was eased by a free bus run ning visitors from Chipping village to the showground and back every half-hour. Attractions on the field included
German, who represents the same constituency for the Liberal Democrats. They also sat in for First Minis
ter's Questions. A visit to Cardiff would not be complete without a visit to the
home of Welsh rugby, the Millen nium Stadium, and the pupils had a tour of what is also Britain's premier soccer venue until Wembley is rebuilt. The pupils have already visited the Scottish Parliaments and will
visit the Palace of Westminster and the Foreign and Common wealth Office later this term. The Stonyhurst pupils are pic

donkey rides, rare breeds, perform ing dogs, craft, trade and food stalls and free entertainment running day and night in two marquees. But the stars of the show were
the magnificent steam engines, tractors, commercial, military, vin tage and classic vehicles, many shining like the day they were built. As ever, their owners were on hand to supply the history of their prized
vehicles. Show secretary Mary Harrison
said the exhibits and attractions had surpassed all expectations, par ticularly the steam engines, which had come from all over the country. There was even a steamboat! “I t’s marvellous how the village
pulls together when help is needed and everyone’s hard work has been very much appreciated this week end,” said Mrs Harrison. Funds raised by the steam fair
will go to various village charities and good causes.
