Summer fair raises £645
THE annual summer fair staged at St James' CE Primary School was a great success. Crowds of youngsters, parents
and civic leaders including town Mayor Coun. Joan Knight and Mayoress Mrs Helen Ashworth, flocked to the fun-filled event in Greenacre Street, Clitheroe. Around £645 was raised on the
day, which will be divided between funds for the school’s play area and towards “interactive white boards” for the classrooms. As well as the usual face-paint
Sheena’s date with the PM
NOT many people can say they have met the Prime Minister face to face, but for consultant midwife Sheena Byromit is becoming a regular event!
Sheena, of Whalley, met Mr Blair for
the second time this year when she and a colleague, consultant nurse Brigid Reid,
were chosen to attend an evening recep tion in Downing Street. Earlier this year Sheena was nominat
ed by the Royal College of Midwives to attend a breakfast seminar with Mr Blair and Health Secretary John Reid. The Prime Minister and his wife,
Cherie, along with other Cabinet mem bers, hosted the Downing Street recep tion for community public sector work ers such as nurses, teaching assistants, community support officers and those working with young people. The aim of the event was to show
recognition for the hard work and com mitment to improving the lives of local communities. The Prime Minister emphasised that he wanted to extend his thanks through those invited to all the thousands of workers who were not pre sent, for their contribution. Sheena works as a consultant midwife
in the maternity unit at Queen's Park Hospital, covering several areas includ ing the Ribble Valley. An important part of her role is to ensure that the maternity services provided are responsive to the needs of women in all sections of the community. Brigid Reid is a consultant nurse in
general surgery at Blackburn Royal Infirmary and was the driving force behind the innovative training pro gramme "Being with Patients". The pro- ject aims to develop nurses' caring behaviour and attitudes by learning from patient experiences. Speaking after the reception, Sheena
said: “It was an honour to be nominated by the Department of Health to repre sent East Lancashire. We were particu larly impressed with the cross-section of workers present, whose passion and com mitment was apparent. “Mr Blair's address displayed a real
knowledge of work such as Sure Start, and the difference being made to local communities.” During the event Brigid spent some
time talking to John Reid and Sheena was invited to join Mr Blair and other NHS workers for a photo shoot. Our picture shows Sheena (left) and Brigid in Downing Street, (s)

shone on the young and old alike, who were also able to try their luck in the lucky dip.
Overall, there were 10 people
involved in the preparations, who ensured the event went without a hitch. Our picture shows pupils “pan

Two-hour driver banned two years
SABDEN man Justin Lloyd Armitage, banned from driving just two hours after passing his test, must not get back behind the wheel for at least two years, a court has ruled. As reported last week, Armitage
(20), of Whalley Road, appeared before Blackburn magistrates on the same day th a t he took and passed his practical driving test. He pleaded guilty to dangerous
driving, driving with excess alco hol, other than in accordance with his provisional licence and without insurance. Magistrates immediately
imposed an interim ban while his case was adjourned for preparation of a pre-sentence report. After reading that report, mag
istrates passed sentence. They imposed a two-year ban, ordered Armitage to do 60 hours’ commu nity punishment and made him subject to a community rehabilita tion order for 12 months. He was also fined £100 with £75 costs and must pass an extended
re-test before he can hold a full licence again. Previously, the magistrates were
told that Armitage had spent two years and “thousands of pounds” to pass his driving test. But a “moment of madness” led to him taking his father’s car after drink ing at least 10 pints of lager with friends. His solicitor, Mr Andrew
Church-Taylor, said th a t if Armitage hadn’t actually set the record for the shortest time a driv ing licence had been held, he must surely rank amongst the leaders. He told the magistrates:
“Because of the unusual nature of the case, it attracted a degree of press interest and my client has suffered the ignominy of having his shame put before the nation.” The court previously heard that
police gave chase after seeing Armitage set off from outside shops in Whalley without his lights on. Armitage did not respond to sirens and flashing blue lights and eventually pulled into Billington Gardens, where he jumped out of
his car as it was doing about 20 m.p.h. He was arrested after a short
chase, but the car continued and smashed through a garden fence coming to rest just yards from the front door of a pensioner’s house. Tests showed Armitage was almost three times over the drink-drive limit. Interviewed by police, he said he
had been out with friends and drunk “at least” 10 pints of lager before going home and taking the car without his parents knowing. Mr Church-Taylor said
Armitage, a slaughterman with Red Rose Foods, had since con tacted the elderly lady whose fence had been destroyed. He had gone round to apologise,
armed with chocolates and flowers, and arranged for the fence to be repaired. He would also have to pay for
the damage to his parents’ car, the bill estimated at £300. “This was a moment of madness which will live with my client for a long time,” said Mr Church-Taylor.

Wet sponge revenge - it’s payback time!
IT was payback time for chil dren a t St Michael and St John's RC Primary School when they pelted wet sponges at their two teachers, who were locked in the stocks. Crowds of young sponge-
hurlers spared no effort in launching attack after attack on head-teacher Mr Vincent Murray and Year 4 teacher Mrs Wendy Hampton during a charity Fun Day at the school. The sunshine attracted
crowds to the fun-filled event, who enjoyed various attrac tions including bouncy castles, tombola, face painting, raffle and refreshments, raising a total of £1,200 towards equip ment for the school’s play area. Rural arts and crafts were in
abundance and there was plen ty of music to help the day go with a swing. Our picture shows the young
sters ready to soak their help less victims. (A190604/5)
