Clifheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, May 12th, 2005 23 Tasty fare for Fairtrade


TASTY food from as far away as South America and Sri Lanka was served to people in the Ribble Valley during a Fairtrade lunch. The lunch was organised by members of


Clitheroe Fairtrade Group, in a determined bid for Clitheroe to follow in the footsteps of Garstang (the first place in the UK to fulfil the five Fairtrade c ri ter ia) and become a Fairtrade town. Held a t the Ribble Valley Borough


Council Chamber on a glorious Saturday morning, the event enabled more than 100 people to sample food from Bowland to


Bolivia, West Bradford to West Indies and various other countries. Visitors were served soup and quiche


cooked up using local produce, taste wines from Argentina and were able to buy spices originating from Sri Lanka. One of the organisers of the successful


event, Mr Jo Harding, said Fairtrade is good for all workers, growers and produc­ ers, wherever they are, and with over 800 products on sale in the UK, Clitheroe. should also have a Fairtrade certificate. He added: “There was a good turn out at the lunch and as well as food and drink.


Pupils tee up to take golf world by storm

people were able to buy jewellery, decora­ tive bags and kitchen equipment. “Fairtrade is also good for businesses and


customers and there are now Fairtrade cities, towns, villages, islands, universities, hospitals and churches. “Buying Fairtrade products means pay­


ing a fair price for what you consume and we hope Clitheroe can one day be a Fair­ trade town.” Our picture shows visitors Katherine and


Jessamy Britcliffe tucking into delicious food served at the Fairtrade lunch. (A230405/3)

YOUNG golfers from a Ribble Valley school took on the best from across Lan­ cashire and came out on top. The Under-18s Boys’ Golf team from St


Augustine’s RC High School, Billington, won the Lancashire Schools’ Golf Associa­ tion Championship. Involving teams from schools across the county, it was played to an exciting climax at Bolton Golf Club. The St Augustine’s team of Richard


Tyrrell, Sam Kindle and Steven McGlynn had qualified for the event by winning the Eastern Area Championship at Accring­ ton Golf Club, in April. After winning the county champi­


onship,' they will now represent Lancashire a t the All England Champion Schools Final on Wednesday, August 4th, at the John O’Gaunt Golf Club, Bedfordshire. Steven McGlynn has also been invited to compete in the North of England Cham­ pionship next month.,


Long-distance appeal


A TRANSATLANTIC appeal for infor­ mation about a Clitheroe orphanage has been sent to the Advertiser and Times. American Paul Taylor has contacted us


as part of his search to find a photograph of St Deny’s in Pimlico Road. He wants to include a picture of the building in a film he is making about the life of his uncle, which he hopes will be of interest to future generations of his family. In an e-mail Mr Taylor writes that his


uncle speaks about living in an orphanage. in Clitheroe during the war. To try to identify the location, Mr Tay­


lor contacted a Clitheroe church, as well as the Tourist Information Centre and now believes the orphanage was St Deny’s which was situated across from the Wag­ gon and Horses and was pulled down in


- the 1960s. He is keen to get hold of a ' ture of it and hopes that our readers 1 help. Anyone who can, should contact him by e-mail at paultaylor@optonline.net.
