Summer ‘dares’ prove holiday hit
ROCK climbing, treasure hunt ing and having “hands on” ses sions with spiders, frogs and slith ery snakes, were just some of the daring activities enjoyed by chil dren who attended Roefield Leisure Centre over the summer holidays. During the six weeks, staff at
Intrepid team embark on charity cyle marathon to boost hospital cancer fund
A TEAM of intrepid riders from 3M Health Care in Clitheroe have pedalled their way along 140 miles of the Lan cashire Cycleway to raise spon sorship for the Christie Hospi tal cancer fund. Fourteen cyclists, including
nine 3M employees, set off from the company’s Up Brooks site
and spent two days in the sad dle to complete the Cycleway’s northern loop, with a stopover in Lancaster overnight. "Everyone made it to the fin
ish, even those who hadn’t done much cycling before," said Dar ren Jackson, a toolroom sys tems engineer at the s ite and organiser of the event.
"It was quite an effort but
we’re hoping to raise around £2,000 for the cancer fund so the aching legs will all have been worth it." Sponsored cycle rides have
become something of a tradi tion among employees at the 3M site, which manufactures aerosol valves and components
for the pharmaceutical indus try. The latest challenge was the
10th to be organised in the past 12 years, together raising tens of thousands of pounds for charities in the North West. Our picture shows the

Be safe and secure is message to OAPs
by Duncan Smith
AS part of Age Concern Week (September 25th to October 2nd), the charity’s local volunteers will stage their annual “Be Safe and Secure in your Home” event, now bigger and
better than ever. It takes place next Thursday, September
30th, at Ss Michael and John’s Social Cen tre, Lowergate, Clitheroe. The event aims to introduce people to
the variety of services, social groups and leisure pursuits, plus products available from Age Concern to older people in the Ribble Valley and, as the theme suggests, to aid people in being safe and secure in their homes. The volunteers are also offering older
people the chance to swop their old, worn slippers for a new pair for a small donation. They will be offering free slippers to any older person on receipt of their old sloppy slippers, which can be dangerous and lead to falls. ■ Numbers will be limited, so bring along your old slippers, and you could end up
with a new pair fitted by the foot care co ordinator, as well as advice on falls preven tion. The Age Concern Lancashire Active Age
Group will be giving a demonstration of gentle exercises for all at 12-30 p.m. and again at 2-30 p.m., showing people gentle easy ways to keep fit and mobile. Free electric blanket testing will be car
ried out as it was so popular last year. Just take along your old electric blanket and have it tested free of charge for any faults that could cause a fire or injury. Anyone whose blanket is condenmed will be given a discount voucher (10% off a new blanket from Dawson's) as long as they leave their old one to be disposed of safely. Powergen has donated four low-energy
light bulbs for everyone who turns up, plus information on saving energy and being safe with energy. Home Office booklets on how to be safe
and secure will be given out, covering top ics such as home security, beating the bogus caller and a practical guide to crime reduction. Also, anyone who asks for a quote for home insurance we will be giving a free personal alarm. The local Crime Prevention Officer, Fire

her canine chum wifi be using as many forms of transport as they can muster dur ing the journey. Tomorrow they will be travelling through Grindleton to pay a visit to friends Tony and Ruth Gann. You may see Roz riding a horse or it
might even be a quad bike, a vintage car or just a wheelbarrow. Whichever mode of transport she can acquire, give her your support with a donation to her cause. Ataxia is a neurological disease that can

She space-hopped along Dunnet beach before borrowing a go-kart, a golf buggy, managed a lift on a fire engine and a tractor. She also skied, rode a cycle, walked and even used a catamaran.

Safety Officer, Quality of Life Officer, and Carers Link will all have stands and will be waiting to talk to members of the public to give out advice and samples. Light refreshments will be served all day.
THROUGHOUT Age Concern Week, older people in the Ribble Valley will be urged to speak out and demand equal treatment in all aspects of everyday life: in shops, at work, in hospital. Despite being the fastest-growing sec
tion of the population, holding 70% of the nations wealth, older people, just because of their age can be: • Forced out of the workplace. • Refused interest-free credit, car insur
ance or new credit cards. • Denied travel insurance. • Prevented from pursuing education
and training (student loans are currently not available to anyone over the age of 54). Staff and volunteers at Age Concern
Lancashire will be giving away a special booklet including a questionnaire titled “Ageism exists. Have you seen the signs?”
