Santa Special


IT will be “all aboard for Santa” when the Christ­ mas rail service returns to the local track on Satur­ day, December 10th. For two consecutive Sat­


urdays, the Ribble Valley Rail Santa Service will run on the Blackburn to Clitheroe line with pres­ ents for the children and mince pies and sherry for the adults. The festive special was


temporarily withdrawn last year, but delighted rail user group members are preparing to ensure that this year’s service is better than ever. Members will also be


selling tickets for the annu­ al RVR draw on the spe­ cial trains, as well as at


Blackburn Station on Sat­ urday. This year's first prize is


one month's FREE rail travel on Northern Rail services for up to two adults and two children - worth, potentially, about £500. There are numerous other prizes including a DVD player. On Sunday December


11th, mince pies will be served by RVR members on trains between Darwen and Clitheroe in conjuc- tion with the Keepers of the Castle Sunday Farm­ ers’ Market at Clitheroe. Santa will board the


trains at Blackburn and travel to Clitheroe. There is no pre-booking. Normal fares apply.

Christmas Dairy Show and Sale -1 1 top £ lk


ELEVEN animals achieved prices topping £1,000 when Gisburn Auction Mart held its Christmas Dairy Show


and Sale. It was a Christmas cracker


of a day for Rathmell farmer John Holgate, whose five- day calved pedigree heifer, giving six gallons, was star of the show.


She picked up all three tro­


phies - the Directors’ Silver Challenge Cup for best ani­ mal in show, the Henry Bradley Trophy for the best homebred animal and the Horace Bowen Memorial Trophy for the best pedigree animal - in the pre-sale show. Later in the day she sold for £1,100 to pre-sale judge John Young, of Dum­ fries.


Sale topper was a pedigree


newly-calved heifer, from David and Sue Graveston, of Bolton-by-Bowland, which sold for £1,300 to N. Ellis and Son, of Huddersfield. There was a great buzz around the ring, with 11 ani­ mals achieving £1,000 or more, a great day for all


• dairy vendors. Other local farmers in the


money included young Guy Pearson, from West Marton, whose third prize heifer, seven days-calved and giving four-and-a-half gallons, sold for £1,000 to John Dodgson, of Bank Newton. Sharing Rathmell’s glory


were J. E and M. Frankland, whose first prize pedigree cow, a second calver, sold for £1,150 to J. C. Young. Spirited bidding in the in-


calf section from H. A. Bradley and Son, of Salter- forth, saw them take home the champion in-calf heifer at £1,000 from M. Bretton, of Brighouse, and the third prize winner, a very flashy red Ayrshire heifer due to
