www.clitheroetoday.co.uk It’s full steam ahead! VILLAGERS are pictured ready for the fancy dress parade (A120604/4b) Thumbs up to fun day by Faiza Afzaal
THE sun shone when nearly all the villagers in Grindleton took part in some way in the annual sports day and summer bash making it a real festive occasion. The event, held at the village’s
recreation ground, started with a fancy dress parade through the vil lage and the theme of the competi tion: “Let’s all go to the circus”, cer tainly brought out some weird and wonderful costumes for Mr Jack Reed, Mrs Margaret Loach and Mrs Cathy Podevyn to judge. It was a case of “On your
marks....get set.....” when crowds of youngsters took to the start lines to
compete in lots of fun-packed races. -Non-competing visitors at the
event enjoyed a good selection of attractions provided by local village groups. These included a bouncy cas tle, tombola, face painting and a fun and games stall. Ice cream, crisps and pop were on
sale and afternoon teas and other refreshments were provided in a mar quee. • Taking part in the races was hun
gry work, so youngsters were glad to tuck into hot dogs, kindly supplied by the organisers of the event. The Summer Bash, held in the
evening, got off to a flying start when live music was provided by a local band called “Thin Ice”. The performance was followed by a

Having always employed a nanny to look after her children, who range in ages from 20 months to eight, and after talking to families in the area, Christine realised that there was a real need for quality, afford able and flexible childcare.With this in mind,she decided to venture out on her own. The service offered by Bootees and Briefcases is one Christine would herself have expected as a mother looking to employ a nanny. To give parents complete peace of mind, the nannies registered with the agency are personally inter viewed by Christine, have to pos sess all the correct childcare qualifi cations, need excellent references (personally checked by Christine), and will have received enhanced police clearance from the Criminal Record Bureau. Speaking on the necessity of ensur ing that a parent's expectations for childcare are fully met, Christine, said: "Leaving your children in the care of another person is one of the hardest and most concerning tasks you will ever have to under-
■ take. Unless a nanny reaches our high
heart of the picturesque village of Whalley and the venture is the brainchild of former solicitor and mother-of-fiv'e Christine Kctc Having worked for a city practice in Manchester for most of her life, when Christine moved to live in Whalley last year, she searched for a nanny agency in the area, but was
disappointed to find that none existed.
standard of excellence, they will not be allowed to register with us. We want families who approach
us to know that our nannies are of the highest calibre. In family life today, nannies fill a real gap in the childcare market, says Christine. “Nannies are an ever increasing viable option for families with more than one child and more so if the children are of pre-school age," she said.
"Whereas nurseries and childmin ders charge per child cared for, nan nies are employed to care for all the children in the family and can be the better financial option." The approach taken by Bootees and Briefcases is th a t childcare must be flexible and suit the alter ing working life of modem families. The family and th e nanny work to g e th e r to decide which days/hours childcare is required. By achieving a tailor-made child care service, everyone in the family benefits - no t least the children, receiving one-to-one care in the comfort of their own home. If you require further information about the agency, please telephone Christine on 01254 825441, e-mail h er on christine@bootees-brief-

SURVIVORS from the steam age brought visitors flocking to the Ribble Valley for the 23rd Slaidburn Steam and Vintage Vehicle Display.
Once the most powerful and prized
mechanical workhorses of their day, most steam engines were left to rot or broken up for scrap when the march of technology eventually outpaced them. But some survived and have been loving ly restored by dedicated enthusiasts for
whom nothing quite has the magic of steam power.
Eight of the region’s finest steam engines,
of various types, were on display in Slaid burn over the weekend, plus more than 20 vintage tractors, a good display of vintage and classic cars and two fairground organs. Event organiser and steam engine
enthusiast David McNamee said the weekend had gone well, despite change able weather. “There was a good atmosphere and
plenty of people about, especially on the Sunday,” said Mr McNamee. “Any money raised this year will go to Slaidburn village, to help pay for the vil lage lengthsman.” Other attractions at the event, which
centred on the village’s Hark to Bounty pub, included a raffle and tombola, vari ous stalls, games and side shows and a craft fair. Our pictures show a rare steam wagon
above left, and “The Horses Friend” steam engine, which belonged to the RSPCA, two of the attractions at the 23rd Slaidburn Steam and Vintage Vehi cle Display.
