burn Haworth’s failure to declare his nest egg had resulted in an overpayment of more than £12,000. Defence solicitor Mr Stephen Barker said his


client accepted that in filling in his claims he had applied his own rules.


Haworth (34), of Milton Avenue, pleaded guilty


to three charges of false accounting. He was made subject to a community rehabilitation order for 12 months. Mrs Deborah Hayden-Pawson (prosecuting) said that, as part of his claim for income support,


but at the end of the day he had capital of £ 16,80o[ which is significantly more than is allowed,” said Mrs Hayden-Pawson. She said that when interviewed, Haworth said he


gested an overpayment of £20,000, but that had been reduced to a figure of £12,500. “He is currently appealing against that amount,” said Mr Barker.


Haworth had declared that he had capital of less than the £8,000 limit. “There were various amounts at various times, i

WHALLEY turned out in force for the annual dinner and dance hosted by the Chamber of Trade. Goodwill was in abundance as "new


recruit" butcher Stuart Tyldsley set the scene for the night - and raised £200 in the process. Mr Tyldsley, who opened a butcher's


shop in the village in September, won the traditional game of stand-up bingo prior to the meal and donated his prize, a meal for two at the venue, Mytton Fold, back for auction. As bidding progressed, he announced that he would match the final bid. The sum of £85 was doubled and then, via Rotarian Roland Hailwood, gift aided, to ensure £200 for the tsunami appeal. Guests included Ribble Valley's Mayor


and Mayoress Conn. Charles Warkman and his wife, Ruth, MP Nigel Evans, Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council chief executive

David Morris and his wife. Nan, and repre­ sentatives from nearby chambers. Conn. Warkman, who had taken time to


visit each table at the event which attract­ ed 170 people, said how impressed he was by the number of young people attending and by the efforts being made in the village to give Whalley's youngsters somewhere to meet. Proposing a toast to the chamber, Mr


Hailwood looked back over the past 10 years of Whalley Chamber of Trade annual dinners. With humour he referred to the "emergence" of Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate who, he said, now had the area's MP as her chauffeur! Whalley, he said, was a "unique community where churches, schools, coun­ cils and traders all work together". Chairman Norman Atty thanked all


involved in Pickwick Night, Stuart Kerr and Lyndon Hacking for the time spent erecting Christmas trees, and the village Police Community Support Officer Jason Taylor. Requesting a round of applause for


the latter, he added that he organised many events and the job had become much more. Paul Winckley was thanked for his excel­


lent organisation of the evening and good wishes for the future extended to Mike Bridgett in retirement, the licensee of the Swan Hotel and her family who were short­ ly to move from the village, and the owners of Brindle Antiques, also moving away. John Atherton thanked for taking an


interest in the welfare of young people in the village with, particularly, his vision of a drop-in centre which is shortly to become reality. Money from the evening's draw would, said Mr Atty, be going towards sup­ porting the venture. The winner of the Spirit of Pickwock was


the De Lacy Arms, Oasis won best dressed window and the Swan Hotel, best costume. Pictured are officials and guests at the


event. (T150105/13) • For more pictures from this event, see the Valley, March issue.

gift and most old models will gather dust in a drawer or are thrown in the bin. Sense is asking readers in the Ribble Valley to send in their phones to raise money for chil­
