Sunday, October 16th, and follow a route around the picturesque Ribble Valley setting off from West Brad­ ford Village Hall. Clitheroe resident Aimie Hamer


(30), of Re:fit Personal Training, was inspired to organise the run by four- year-old Amelia Dickinson, a friend’s daughter, who suffers with the condi­ tion. Amelia’s parents, Samantha and

Symon Dickinson, of Whalley, explained that although their daugh­ ter is doing very well, her current state of health is down to the contin­ uous treatment she receives. Samantha stressed that medical


advances achieved through life-sav­ ing research for which this event will raise funds, is v ital for Amelia’s future. A pupil a t Barrow Primary School,


Amelia has received unstinting sup­ port in dealing with her illness from teachers and staff. In fact, four mem­ bers of staff have been among the first to sign up for the run. Aimie urged other local people to


follow their lead, adding: “Please join us, have fun, get fit and raise some cash for this debilitating condition. You don’t have to run, you can walk, hop, crawl, whatever, but please come along. We are trying to drum up sup­ port and are thinking of maybe organising a social do afterwards. “We are hoping for a bigger turnout than in previous years as it’s proving a popular event.” Aimie added that parents were wel­


come to bring along their children and make it a real family day out.


She asked people to specify if they


will be running or not, therefore keeping i t a serious road race for some, alongside those who just look at it as a bit of fun. All participants will be raising


vital funds to help the 7,500 people with Cystic Fibrosis, the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited disease. There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis, which claims three lives a week in the UK. Aimie and Amelia’s aunt, Clitheroe


resident Gail Bailey, of Pure Health and Beauty, who organised a similar event last year, have taken part in the Great North Run and arranged other events for the cause. So far, they have raised £15,000. The DogMusic and Sports Bar in


Wellgate has offered to provide a free buffet after the race for all partici­ pants, a gesture which is much appre­ ciated by the organisers. Runners can register for the event on the day at 10 a.m., and there is a minimum dona­ tion of £10 in sponsorship. For further information, to register


and for advice on training, contact Aimie on 07793 955686 or Gail on 01200 442430. To make a donation, log onto www.justgiving.com/west- bradfordlOk Our picture shows Gail Bailey,

Clitheroe Advertiser 8t Times, Thursday, September 22nd, 2005 15


Probus members turned into frogs and croak in Lowergate!


LAUGH not, it nearly happened when Peter Watson, lecturer and broadcaster and student of things esoteric talked to Clitheroe Probus about North Country folklore. Having found th a t only a few in the


audience confessed to being superstitious, he frequently challenged the members to “have one of these”, “hold this”, “take one of these home”. The “non-superstitious” audience res­


olutely refused to get involved in such goings on - well, one never knows, best not to tempt fate. . . Sprinkling his talk with recipes for


things we didn’t know we could get and certainly not suitable for a family news­ paper, he kept his audience alternating between nervous laughter, outright disbe­ lief, amused disgust at the “old ways”, and all the time th a t niggling thought “but just suppose. . . he might be right.” One of the many real-life items was a


small cross made of rowan wood and tied with red thread. A powerful defence against mischievous and evil little folk - elves, fairies, boggarts and the like. “But don’t drop it,” he said. “And cer­


tainly don’t break it. If you do you’ll have a visitation and that is not a good thing.” Members all sat on their hands. No


way was th a t cross going to be passed round this mature level-headed non- superstitious collection of Clitheroe folk. The speaker said he had been giving a


talk in a room with automatic electric doors at each end, and a lady in the audi­ ence dropped the little wooden cross. One set of doors solemnly opened - there was no one there. The door closed and six sec­ onds later the other doors opened. Still no-one there, just another empty


corridor. “That was your v is itatio n passing


through,” said the speaker to his startled audience. By now reality was a scarce commodi­


ty. A person having every appearance ol


Paul Duck rose to give the vote of thanks, and there was a strong feeling th a t , masochists that they were, the speaker, after having given one of the most humor­ ous, thought-provoking and challenging talks of the year, will be invited back to give his talk on ghosts. Probus Club has vacancies and if you


are interested in joining, please call the secretary on 01200 429207. Members meet a t the Pendle Club,


Lowergate, Clitheroe, on the first and third Fridays of the month.


Mad-COW disease cause of villager’s death?


A SABDEN man has died ju s t three months after doctors made a provisional diagnosis of Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease. An inquest has been opened into the


death of Frank Mason (70), of Stubbins Lane, who died on Ribble Ward a t Clitheroe Community Hospital on Sep­ tember 7th. The inquest heard th a t Mr


Mason was admitted to Blackburn Royal Infirmary in June, suffering from the sud­ den onset of dementia symptoms. After an initial diagnosis of CJD he was trans­ ferred to Clitheroe Hospital for terminal care. Further tests will be carried out by specialists in Edinburgh before the inquest is concluded.


Fresh fish - coming from the shore to your door


FRESH fish can noxv be brought straight from the shore and delivered to your door thanks to a new Ribble Valley fish home delivery company.


Ribble Fish and Fine Foods


offers an extensive range of fresh and frozen fish, shellfish and molluscs and fresh Eng­ lish chicken delivered direct to your home when it is conven-


lent for you. In addition, a wide selection of party foods such as canapes, sushi and quality nibbles with a differ­ ence are available. Set up by Whalley resident,


T ra c ey Blanc, she is clear about what she wants her new service to offer the fish-loving public: “ I w a n t to provide people across the Ribble Val­ ley with the same choice and quality of fish th a t they are served in a good restaurant,” she said. “Many people eat their favourite fish or try an unusual one when they dine o u t , b u t n ev er cook i t for themselves. Therefore, I want to bring th a t high standard of food into their homes.” R ibble F ish will be run


alongside Fish-House Limit­ ed, of Clitheroe, owned and run by her father-in-law, John and husband, Dominic. The wholesale business,


which operates from state-of- th e -a r t premises in Salthill, has been supplying hotels and restaurants across the North West for the past 20 years. Commenting on the high


s tan d ard of service offered, she said: “The fish is brought daily from UK ports and can be delivered to my customers on the next day, so they can be assured of receiving the very freshest fish a t the best possible prices.” Claiming i t is unique to the


Ribble Valley, Tracey says she is happy to cater her reliable and efficient service for any size of order, from dinner for two,family teas and dinner parties. Delivered by herself in a


refrigerated van, all the fish is packaged in a tra n sp a re n t sleeve, which g u a ran te e s freshness and prevents any dripping or smell. With a vast array of choice


on offer a t very competitive prices, just some of the fresh fish available includes cod, monkfish, haddock, seabass, tiger prawTis and scallops. Meanwhile, sto ck in g up


your freezer has never been easier, as Tracey provides a mixecl box of ten , which includes a selection of tuna, swordfish, halibut and escolar supremes, perfect for a deli­ cious quick meal. Alternatively for a special


tre a t , why no t choose from the selection of game, which includes ostrich, wild boar, guinea fowl and game pie mix. W h a te v e r th e occasion,


Tracey does not want her cus­ tom e rs to feel o u t of th e ir depth, so cooking and recipe advice is available if required. So, w i th a h e a l th y meal


only a phone-call away, Rib­ ble Fish and Fine Foods is quite simply a good catch - so be sure to net as much as you can.
