Volunteers are praised for work


■ by Julie Magee


’VOLUNTEERS, learners and s ta f f were th an k ed for th e ir hard work and commitment at an awards evening held by Trin­ ity Community Partnership. The event was the first of its kind


to be held by Trinity and in total,; 120 awards were presented on the night staged at Clitheroe’s St Mary’s Centre. Acknowledging effort and com­


weather was a bonus


TWENTY members of Ciitheroe Ramblers set off from Chipping on a glorious sunny day.\ The route went past the chair works,


i!!


across the fields to Windy Hill and up the drive to Saddle End. The group then sldrted the edge of the fells to Bumslack and Lick- hurst Farm, with magnificent views in all . directions. The hoar frost on every twig and blade of grass was a delight to see as well as making walking much easier as the mud was frozen. An early lunch was taken in a sheltered


quarry on the way to Dinkling Green Farm and High Fence. The farm drive then led to the road with spectacular views of the Hod- der 'Valley. The route continued to New Laund above the White well Hotel and up

New Laund Hill, where there is one of the best views for miles around. From the top of the hill the Hodder can be seen deep in its woodedgorge.


■ Passing through Fair Oak and Higher


and Lower Greystoneley brought the group to Knot Barn where they had a short tea break near the magnificently restored lime kiln. After crossing several fields they reached the drive of Leagram Hall, where a splendid display of snowdrops was just starting to flower in the shelter of a wall. The concessionary path beside the road


and a short road walk brought the group back to Chipping. The variety of the terrain and the outstanding views made the walk very enjoyable and the excellent weather was an added bonus.


plus a visit to the capital, Reykjavik. The talk starts at 7-30 p.m. and tickets, cost­ ing just £1, can be bought in advance from Whalley Library (tel. . 01254 822446).

mitment over the past 12 months, the awards highlighted the work of volunteers in conjunction with the Year of the Volunteer 2005. Trinity currently has more than 50 volun­ teers, who are the lifeblood of the Partnership working with projects across the Ribble Valley and Hyn- dburn.


- . ■ The Partnership, which has a col­


lege franchise with Accrington and Rossendale College, runs courses in catering and horticulture with IT courses taught at Database, Hen- thorn Road, Ciitheroe, through Trinity’s partnership with East


Lancashire Adult Learning; ■ Those acknowledged on the night


included Graham 'Walton, who^was named Staff of the Year, (Angela Owen, Volunteer of the Year and David Helm, Learner of the Year. David Garner, who has been a


volunteer with Trinity for more than 35 years, scooped the Out­ standing Achievement Award. Other awards were presented to


those who successfully completed courses at Jigsaw Environmental, Trinity’s horticultural operation, Jigsaw Pantry, its catering opera­ tion, and at Database, its IT centre Several members of Trinity’s


youth group also received awards for successfully completing a mechanics course at Wheels within Wheels at Nelson and other achievements. Meanwhile, Long Service Awards


were presented to members of staff and volunteers, who have been with Trinity for more than five and 10 years, and to members of staff who have learnt additional skills. These included Ellen Pope, the Partner­ ship’s Horticultural Manager at


. Gisburn, who achieved an MA in . Education.


: -’Event organiser Graham Wal­ ton, commented: “Being the first of' its kind, we were nervous about how it would go, but on the night everything came together and it went really .well. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was good to see our staff, volunteers and learners all getting together socially for a good' night out. I hope that this will be a regular event each year and become more high profile. I think that it helped raise awareness of the sheer range of activities we are involved in too.” ■

community group The Keepers of the Castle, which works to raise awareness of. the project and attract funding, hopes the local


' community will really get behind the scheme to ensure this deadline is met.


“News of the successful Lottery


bid was fantastic, but now the race is on to raise the rest of the money,!’


commented Miss Kay,-who is also Ribble Valley Borough Council’s tourism and arts officer. ■ “Keepers of the Castle has


already organised some successful events and has plenty more irons in the fire. We want as many people as possible to get onboard at this crucial stage and help us steer the campaign to success.” The ambitious scheme, which is


the biggest heritage restoration project in Clitheroe’s history, will see a huge glass atrium linking the museum and North West Sound Archives on two levels, with a lift, facilities for the disabled, cafe, exhibition space and interactive display facilities. • A new education suite will be


developed in the stable block. ■ Meanwhile, the museum will


undergo major restoration and internal modernisation in a bid to


develop a reputation as a quality visitor attraction, with strong links in the education and specialist interest sectors. Further work will ensure the Castle Keep, built in 1186, is structurally sound. Chtheroe the Future, on behalf of


the North West Development Agency, is poised to put a further £250,000 into the pot and it is hoped additional funding will be attracted from key organisations. Planning and listed building appli­ cations will be lodged later this year. The Keepers of the Castle meet­


ing will take.place at 5-30 p.m. on Monday, February 20th, in the Ribble VMley Council Chamber in Church Street, Ciitheroe. Everyone is welcome to attend


and for further information contact Miss Kay on 01200 414496.

THERE are many romantic gestures you can make on Valentine's Day but a deli­ cious supper using ingredients to inspire desire is a wooing winner. Eating at home is far more intimate and


relaxing than dining in a restaurant. Only the bold are happy to feed their partner by hand in a public place - the ultimate sen­ sual indulgence. Serious lovers will also know that sex


and food have always been linked and slip­ ping in those so-called aphrodisiacs such as oysters, asparagus, mango and vanilla adds to the fun. .Oysters, probably because of their


appearance and appealing texture - what experts call "mouth feel" - are reputed to be a key libido booster. They're alM rich in zinc, which is vital for testosterone produc­ tion. Other key ingredients are mango, partly


because the tree is regarded as a symbol of love in India, while asparagus has a phal­ lic shape, and vanilla with its calming, soothing effect is thought to help women's libido. Claire Taylor from Morrisons has con­


cocted two recipes for a loving feast. "Fresh mango, asparagus, oysters and


_


vanilla are all foods of love and our exclu­ sive recipes, made with ingredients found. in our stores, will help you woo and wow your partner this Valentine’s day," she


says. Glamour

pepper and continue stirring until sauce is smooth, leave to one side. Poach oysters for 30 seconds in boiling


water, drain. Replace oysters into their shells and place on a baking tray. The tops of the shells can be used to balance the oys­ ter shells, which will help prevent spillages. Cover oysters with sauce and bread­


crumbs, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and grill for four to five minutes under a pre-heated grill, until piping hot and golden brown. Serve with lemon slices.

AS Valentine's Day approaches, girls around the country will be discussing their outfits for th a t special night out, or cosy night in. They could heed Victoria Beck­


ham's words, who advises that "the best way to seduce a man is by wear­ ing high heels, tight fitting jeans and a figure-hugging T-shirt", but jeans and a casual top may not quite look appropriate if your partner has booked dinner at a fancy restaurant. Besides, points out stylist Ceril


Campbell, it's not quite as straight­ forward as that. . "This look may work fine on Victo­


ria, but not all of us are blessed with her figure," she says. "Tight-fitting jeans won't look so good if your legs have been squeezed into them. "The best foolproof look will


emphasise your best points and detract from the worst."


H A FIRST/BLIND DATE "If you're going on a blind date,


you won't know what to expect, so subtle sexiness is the way to go," she says. "You want to look pretty but not like you've tried too hard, so hold back a little. Instead of showing off your cleavage, your date can get a peek of your back or shoulder - what­ ever you do, don't show everything off at the same time.". On a first date, you want to show


off a bit of your figure without over­ doing it, so an understated dress or a skirt will look great.


■ A RESTAURANT DATE . . "Your date's attention will be

focused on your top half during din­ ner, so you could get away with wear­ ing a gorgeous top with skinny jeans and heels. Make more effort with an elegant cross-over wrap dress, or a lit­ tle black dress," adds Ceril. She advis­ es against full-on cleavage.


BA CINEMA DATE "If your man picks a film for your


Valentine's date, you're probably at a comfortable stage of the relationship, so you should wear something that, you can relax in. Jeans or trousers with a T-shirt or cute top, with a casual jacket, will keep you warm yet smart enough if he suggests going for drinks afterwards. I would stay away from wearing a skirt, as they could ride up or crease during the movie," she adds.


J A SURPRISE DATE "As Valentine's Day falls on £


weekday, there's a high possibilitj th a t you'll be heading out aftei work," says Ceril. "Layers woulc work best if you don't know when you're headed. Smart jeans can b( worn with a smart shirt at work, bul bring a pair of heels, a sexy top and £ cardigan, which you can quickly change into afterwards.".'


• BAPARTYORBALL Ceril says: "If you're looking for £


man, you'll want to look pretty, sexj and fun. Men don't want a womar who dresses madly like a clown, oi with everything hanging out. Opt foi a dress that makes the most of youi shape that skims and touches, rather than clings."
