vram.clitheroetoday.co.uk Appeal for a long-lost cousin comes up trumps!
AN appeal to help find a “long lost cousin” through our columns came up trumps. I t came from Mr Jim Robertshaw, of Barrow- in-lTumess, who asked for our help to track down his cousin, Jean
Briggs, who he last saw 50 years' ago. We printed his appeal in last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times and within a few hours the phone rang last Thursday morn ing. I t was Mrs Briggs, who still
lives in Clitheroe, ringing to say she had just seen her name in the paper! She and her cousin have now had a long chat on the phone and hope to meet up in the near future to catch up with old times.

Tsunami helper Ally son says heartfelt thank you
A BIG-HEARTED former Ribch- ester resident, who has been helping the -victims of the tsunami disaster in
Thailand, has thanked local people for their overwhelming support. And Mrs Allyson Parker has stressed
that there is still a lot to be done to help the survivors rebuild their lives and has renewed her plea to Ribble Valley folk to continue pledging support. Earlier this year, the former pupil of
Clitheroe Royal Grammar School launched a major appeal with the help of her parents, Maureen and John Crowther, of Water Street, Ribchester, aimed at pro viding long-term aid to the victims of the 2004 disaster. In response, a special fund - The Koa
Lak Education Fund (KLEF) - was set up and Ribchester -villagers were given the opportunity to sponsor a t least two chil dren through school for five years. Mrs Parker assists The Duang Prateep
Foundation, which works with families who are try in g to help themselves in Phuket and she regularly -visits the school to see the children and check on their progress. She recently returned to Ribchester to
see family and friends and told the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times that an amazing £3,000 had been raised for the KLEF by big-hearted villagers, who have held various fund-raising events to boost funds. These have varied from asking fam ilies to donate £1 a month,' to Mrs Park er’s mother, Maureen, selling home-made jam outside her home! “The support that we have received has
been absolutely fantastic,” she explained. “Each child needs £15 a month to be able to afford school. “The money that has been raised so far
has helped tremendously. I t has enabled orphaned children to attend school and progress. The people out there suffered a terrible loss and are trying to rebuild their lives, but they still need your help. Please continue donating”. Anyone wishing to pledge support is asked to ring Mrs Crowther on 01254
878373. Our picture shows tireless fund-raiser
