eighth annual Chipping Steam Fair. The popular three-day event saw crowds of
enthusiasts don wellingtons and waterproofs and converge on the Green Lane showground to enjoy the numerous attractions on offer. The main attractions this year included
Rolls-Royce engines from classic Second World War aircraft such as the Lancaster bomber, Beaufighter, Shackleton and an Alvis Leonides radial engine from a Percival Sea-Prince. The fair, which was opened by Ribble Valley

SUMMER CAMP AT STONYHURST COLLEGE
Teenage girls have lessons in how to defend themselves
TEENAGE girls from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School know how to look after themselves thanks to a course of self defence classes. A 22-strong group of pupils took
part in a six-week course through which they learnt various self defence techniques. The course components includ
ed voice recognition, confidence building and various moves such as blocks, kicks and release grabs. They were taught by coach
Adele Scott (38), who has been involved in martial arts for many years and belongs to Master A Sedgewick’s Padiham K. J. Bushi do Academy. Adele, who has worked in the
prison service, but now works for Ribble Valley Borough Council, stressed how important it was for women to learn some basic self defence in today’s society. She added that some of the young girls who participated in
the course commented on how beneficial i t was to have some knowledge of self defence at their
age. Another course has now been
scheduled to take place a t the grammar school later this year. Our picture shows Abigail Slater
and Hannah Tindall with fellow pupils of Clitheroe Royal Gram mar School who took part in the the self-defence course run by Adele. (A090506/6)

SECONDS after pledging his love for his girlfriend, a 20-year-old Clitheroe man launched a bizarre attack
on her. Blackburn magistrates
heard that Zarfan Azad rolled up his sleeves and asked Joanne Martin to step forward into the light. When she did, he punched
her in the face, knocking her to the floor, where he rained repeated blows to her head and body. “This was a totally unpro
voked and unexplained attack,” said prosecutor Judith Balderson. Azad, of Whalley Road,
Clitheroe, was convicted of assault after a trial held in his absence. He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a , pre-Mn,tence report.,
Miss Balderson said th a t
last August Miss Martin, who had been going out with Azad for nine months, received a message to meet him a t the back of Don Dino's restaurant,
in Whalley Road. “When she arrived she could
see him leaning against his sis ter's car,” said Miss Balderson. “He eventually joined her and when she asked if he was about to split with her he said ‘no, never’. “As he said this he began
rolling up his sleeves and then asked her to stand in the light. She asked him why, but he did n't reply and when she stepped forward he punched her.” When interviewed Azad said
he had not seen Miss Martin for two weeks since they had fallen out. Asked if he had car ried out the assault he denied . even being there. ^... .... •.
