Catering for all lis'iS


EMPTY plates, full tummies, crack­ ers and party hats were just some ol the ingredients that made Christmas • dinner a meal to remember a t St . Augustine’s RC High School, Billing- i j


ton. The school’s catering team, who


entered into the Christmas spirit by decorating the kitchens and wearing ' ' Santa hats, prepared more than 300 servings of turkey or nut roast with all the trimmings and a choice of deli- ^ clous desserts. Christmas dinners have not been


served a t St Augustine’s for more than 10 years and the idea of reintro­ ducing them came from the kitchen staff themselves. In keeping with the school's com­


1


mitment to healthy eating and using fresh produce, the quality of the food was superb and the kitchen staff appreciated the number of pupils who came over to thank them after the meal.


Festive food parcels ready for the off


MORE than 300 festive food parcels have been distributed to people aged over 80 and living alone in the borough of Clitheroe. ^Bought from the Mayor of


Clitheroe’s Charity Fund, the parcels were distributed on Sun­ day by volunteers from ^ Clitheroe’s various service clubs. Members of Clitheroe and Rib- blesdale Rotary Clubs, Clitheroe Round Table, R o tra c t and VI Clitheroe Lions converged on the : Mayor’s Parlour, in Church : Street, to carry out the happy task. Our picture shows some of the


volunteers unloading the truck full of parcels for distribution around the borough by car, van and bicycle, (s)

affected by blaze


A LOCAL electrical retail­ er has felt the full force of the Hemel Hempstead fire disaster - despite it hap­ pening more than 200 miles


away. Harry Gar lick Ltd,


which has a store in Clitheroe and five other branches across the region, suffered serious technical damage to their computer systems folio-wing the blaze and had to resort to manu­ al methods. The explosions, which


ripped apart Buncefield oil depot in Hemel Hemp­ stead, caused widespread structural damage to sur­ rounding property includ­ ing Northgate Business Centre which houses Harry Garlick’s backup system. Harry Garlick’s main


server is located a t Cromwell Business Sys­ tems in Cambridge but backup data form there is stored at the site in North- gate. The damage caused by


the fire meant that staff at Harry Garlick were unable to access records such as customer reference num­ bers, stock details and delivery times thus wreak­ ing havoc upon the busi­ ness during one of its busiest times of the year. Mr Ian Scothern, a


director a t Harry Garlick Ltd, said: “I just want to say thank you to all our customers for being patient and understanding while this has been going on. I t has been an extremely dif­ ficult time, especially over this busy Christmas period with a lot of people want­ ing to buy tele-visions and electrical goods. We are finally starting to get back on our feet though and should be resuming normal service as soon as possible. ■'We have not been able


to use the system since the fire m Hemel Hempstead and it has meant that we have had to deal with things manually, using till rolls to retrieve some data, which has been extremely time consuming and trou­ blesome and left us unable to reallocate stock.” He added: “I t ’s hard to

believe that a fire all that way away could have caused us, a local firm to this area, so many prob­ lems. We have not been the only business affected though and it does show the reliance business now has on technology.'


Damage


MORE than £500 damage was caused when vandals scratched the panels of a Volkswagen Golf. Offenders struck the


vehicle when it was parked in Montague Street, Clitheroe, between 11-30 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday.

COACHES at Read Cricket and Bowling Club have been presented with Red Rose Community Awards for their work with


local young people. Members at the club’s 128th annual meeting


heard that not only did it clinch Best Kept Cricket Ground, it was also runner-up in Lan­ cashire County Council’s Red Rose Awards. The club was commended in the community awards section for the coaching programme it runs for young people. And the club is in the look-out for new tal­


ent for 2006 to add to their already thriving teams. A minute’s silence was paid in tribute to


members who have died over the past year. These included stalwarts Mr Ernie Sumner and Mr Ray O’Connor. Mr Sumner captained the first team and was later appointed chair­ man. A former player who was also one of the best supporters, before he passed away Mr O’Connor was able to see his son Gary and grandson Kyle play together in the first team. In his report, treasurer Mr Tony Dodgson


said that a small profit had been made and he thanked Mrs Jean Dodgson for her hard work ■with the 200 Club. Mr Harry Duerden told the gathering that


the bowls section had entered the league for the first time and all players had enjoyed the season. Closing the meeting, chairman Mr Wilf


■Woodhouse said that after three years of win­ ning the league the first team had done well, considering a range of difficulties it had expe­ rienced, including a time when there were five under 18s in the first eleven. Mr Woodhouse


also paid tribute to the second and third eleven teams for all their hard work. Other commit­ tee members elected included: secretary - Clive Bennett, -vice chairman - Keith Crab­ tree, general cricket committee -A. Shutt, S. Laycock, N. Marsh, S. Porter, H. Marks, T.

CORPORATE Christmas cards can cost a small fortune, so this year a Clitheroe company decided to put the money to bettert use - brining smiles to children’s faces. Schoolwear supplier Trutex has donated £500, plus


children’s games and toys, to Manchester Children’s Hos­ pital’s Charity. The donation was made on behalf of Tru- tex’s customers and suppliers - the people it would nor­


mally send Christmas cards to. Commenting on the donation, Trutex marketing


director Clare Rix said: “Like many companies, we s^m to spend considerable amounts of money on designing, printing and posting Christmas cards. This year, after ■ discussing with our customers and suppliers, we have col­ lectively decided that the budget should be donated to a


worthwhile cause and one which plays such an important role in pro-viding specialist healthcare services for chil­ dren from the north west.” Jayne Moore, fund-raising manager for Manchester


Children’s Hospital’s Charity, commented: “We are delighted that 'Trutex has made such a generous dona­ tion. Charitable funds help us to buy new and updated equipment and help us to improve the hospital environ­ ment for the children and their families. The fabulous toys donated for our play area, will help to provide a home from home experience for our children.” Our picture shows, from the left, hospital play special­

ecstatic about winning, as I have entered the show in the past, but never before took home first prize.” Richard Turner, auc­


tioneer, said: “The shows see some of the best quality cattle and sheep from farms in the area, which we see as vital to the agricul­ ture industry.”

Trip talk


L IK E spring flowers among a field of withered oats, ladies were welcomed to the Probus meeting held in the Pendle Club, Lower- gate. In a “home-grown” pro­


gramme, member Cliff Astin presented slides of the summer trip to Prague. The ladies had been


members of that party and had been specially in-vited to enjoy again the memo­ ries of what had been a most successful short holi­ day. The audience was amazed a t the detail pre­ sented in Cliff’s commen­ tary, and full of admiration at his skill in capturing the architecture of a most beautiful city. Then member Jim Park­


er conducted the club through familiar Christ­ mas carols, interspersed ■with poetry, readings and jokes. Having been fuelled with mince pies and sherry the members were in good voice, even making a cred­ itable attempt a t “Good King Wenceslas” sung in the round for four parts. Chairman Eric Ronnan


thanked all the part ici ­ pants and reminded mem­ bers that the next meeting would be a t 10-45 a.m. (note the early s tart) on January 6th, when Cliff Astin is to give the first of two slide shows on “A South Africa Visit”.
