AN around-the-world trip vis­ iting Singapore, Australia, Fiji and America was the exotic honeymoon that followed the wedding of a Billington couple. The bridegroom, Mr Lee


Winstanley, is the son of Mr and Mrs Winstanley, of Dar- wen. He is the sales manager for


Corprotex Apparel based in Manchester. His bride, Miss Alison Ball, a


paediatric staff nurse, is the eldest twin daughter of Mr and Mrs D. Ball, of Billington. Given away by her father, the


bride wore an American-design- er white full length satin gown, which gathered at the left hand side of the waist illustrating a layered effect at the front. The bodice was scattered with crys­ tals and the back was laced up in Victorian style. Her head piece consisted of


sparkling crystals complement­ ed with a white satin trim shoulder length veil. She car­ ried a modern bouquet of white lillies and roses. Chief bridesmaid was the


bride’s twin sister, Kate Ball, and the other bridesmaids were Danielle Bronlein, Zara Ball and Bethany Heywood. Each wore a lilac satin bodice


dress with lilac feather head piece and all carried a modern bouquet of white roses decorat­ ed'with white feathers to com­ plement the bride.. Flower girls Rebecca Owen


and Georgia Wiristanley wore a white sleeveless dress with lilac sash. Pageboy Michael Winstanley


wore a three piece suit identical to that of the bridegroom. Best man was Dave Parker


and the nine ushers were Mark, Paul and Iain Winstanley, Richard Ball, Michael Der­ byshire, Greg Altham, Shane Hoole, Vinny Wilkinson and Chris Alderson. The couple were married at


St Peter’s and St Paul’s RC Church, Ribchester. A recep­ tion was held at the Shireburn Arms, Hurst Green. The couple will live on Pas-


turelands Drive, Billington. Picture by Catherine Booth.


Speaker proves a popular choice with members


THE speaker at the meeting of the East Lancs ME/CFS Sup­ port Group was Dr David Grimes, former Medical Direc­


tor of Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary. He is a consultant physician


who has worked with many chronic fatigue syndrome patients and will lead the new East Lancs clinic due to be set up in 2005. He began his talk by com­


menting on the number of ill­ nesses which are “mysteries” - those for which the cause is unclear.


As far as ME/CFS is con­


cerned, he said that it is known that there is usually either a sudden onset by means of an infectious process such as flu, glandular fever or gastroenteri­ tis, or a gradual onset whereby, over a period of months or years, recovery from viral infections etc, takes longer and longer, until recovery ceases.


Dr Grimes believes that some


people have a genetic propensi­ ty to ME/CFS which as yet, does not have a definitive test and has to be diagnosed by a set of clinical criteria such as a list of symptoms. In his opinion, the condition is


primarily of muscle activity fol­ lowed by brain disorder - con­ centration. Unlike a disorder in which the


muscles cannot initiate move­ ment, such as muscular dystro­ phy, people with ME cannot sustain movement because the muscles become weak very easi­ ly and take time to recover. Dr Grimes then took ques­


tions from the floor and was thanked afterwards for his excel­ lent presentation, which was entertaining and humorous. For more information about


the group, phone Maureen Almond on 01254 385972 or Barbara Moody on 01254 723380.

GRANGE was the venue for 20 members of Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society. The walk began along footpaths leading to


Hampsfield Fell, passing through the Forestry Commissions Eggerslack Wood, over exposed limestone bluffs, with extensive views across the Kent Estuary and the York­ shire Dales. The party headed to the Hos­ pice Shelter, built in 1835 by George Rem­ ington, former vicar of Cartmell for the shel­ ter and entertainment of travellers over the fell and it still serves it purpose today. Despite the altitude of only 700ft, the views were spectacular, with Morecambe Bay, Black Combe Fells of the Lakeland, The Howgills and Ingleborough, more than 50 peaks can be seen from the spot. Although the weather was damp and wet at the start it gradually improved and after


lunch the group made their way through fields to Cartmell when the sun came out. After a stop in Cartmell, where some mem­ bers visited the Priory while others wan­ dered round the streets and market square, they made their way over Grange Golf Links, passing an old lime kiln before joining the paths into Yew Barrow Woods, and returning to the start of the walk. During the seven-mile walk more than 83


flower varieties were seen, some very rare such as enchanter nightshade, agrimony, meadows cranesbill, orchids, also meadow butterflies, green-veined white butterflies and baby frogs, but not many birds at this time of year. The next outing is to Stan- bury and Wycoller, meet at Clitheroe Inter­ change at 9-30 a.m. on July 31st. To book tel. 01200 428117.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, July 22nd, 2004 33 Still baking at 100!


RESPECTED Clitheroe resi­ dent Mrs Jane Capstick, who still helps her neighbours with their housework and shopping, has been celebrating her 100th birthday. And her hard work and generosity


paid off when during her centenary celebrations she received a congrat­ ulatory card from Her Majesty the Queen and a visit by Clitheroe Town Mayor Coun. Joan Knight and Mayoress Mrs Helen Ashworth. Mrs Capstick, nee Wignall, who


has lived in De Lacy Street for almost half a century, trained as a winder at Whipp’s Mill, in the Prim­ rose Road area of the town, and later transferred to Jackson’s Mill, also in Clitheroe, earning 10 old shillings (50p) a week until her mar­ riage to farm worker George Cap­ stick on Easter Sunday in 1927. The couple lived at Rodhill Farm,


Sawley, where their daughters, Hazel and Joan, were bom. In 1948, after a spell as a farm manager at Stratford-on-Avon, Mr


Capstick moved to Baldwin Hill Farm, in De Lacy Street, and the couple delivered milk together around the town until 1978 when George was killed in a road accident. Since then-Mrs Capstick has


helped her neighbours with their shopping and still bakes for them. On Saturday, friends and three


generations of Mrs Capstick’s family including surviving daughter, Mrs Hazel Hornsby, ofPeterborough, gathered at the Catholic Club in Lowergate to mark the milestone.
