www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Farm celebrates 18th birthday
A VALLEY farm has celebrated a special coming of age. To mark its 18th anniversary, Clough Bottom Farm at Bashall Eaves, held a special organic taster day and invited 30 execu tives to “Go Organic”. Since 1988, the farm has
attracted around 10,000 business people to its management courses where executives take on a range of activities, with the added bonus of seeing life on a w'orking farm. Farmer Harry Backhouse has
received extensive support from Defra’s Rural Development Ser vice, which has helped transform the farm into a wildlife haven through numerous initiatives
which have expanded wildlife cor ridors and hedges, created ponds and led to the planting of 100,000 trees. The farm turned organic in 1998 and since then those attend ing the courses have been encour aged to eat locally-produced organic food between sessions. Said Mr Backhouse: “My wife,
Jane, and I set up the business. Focus Training, to offer manage ment training courses in a stimu lating environment and expand people’s knowledge of the coun tryside, but more recently we have used the opportunity to give them a full organic experience. “They have proved incredibly popular. In the early days, on
some courses, we have had the smartest-looking executives mucking out the farm buildings and helping with the day-to-day jobs on the farm. Many of them have never even visited a farm before, so it has been a real eye opener, but they go back to work with an experience they are never ■ going to forget. We built these activities into the training pro gramme - it wasn’t like they were handed a shovel in their coffee break.” Our photograph shows facilitator Joanne Mc'Tiffin and owner Harry Backhouse at the Clough Bottom Farm training centre which was celebrating its 18th anniversary.

Rotarians’ Castle cash
A PROJECT to place three direc tional plaques around Clitheroe’s Castle Keep received a £375 boost during the Rotary Club of Rib- blesdale’s Charter Night. As Rotarians and their guests
sat down to dinner at the Moor cock Inn, Waddingtoh, club presi dent and talented silversmith Rtn David Frost announced that some one in the room would be leaving with a rather special present. Proposing the loyal toast, he
revealed that he had designed and made a silver paper knife which bore hallmarks and was contained in a box of Cyprus wood with an inlaid panel of English yew. Every one in the room was invited to place a monetary note in an enve lope, with the one picked out receiving the gift. The money raised, he said, was
going towards the cost of the Rotary’s stand-alone community project which was supporting the Keepers of the Castle campaign. Three directional plaques are to
be designed and made, then placed around the ramparts of the Castle, highlighting points of interest. The first proposals were being submit ted to the borough council that week.

Why not consider adoption?
ADOPTION is not an option many people consider and that is something th e adoption agency covering the Ribble Val
ley wants to change. The Blackburn Diocesan Adop
tion Agency (BDAA) has launched a campaign to coincide with National Adoption Week, which will run from November 6th to 12th. I t wants to raise awareness of
adoption and encourage families and individuals to. consider whether they could adopt a child or sibling group. Felicity Collier, chief executive
of The British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF), said: “Too many children and young people wait far too long for a permanent family. “Many of these children have
had a very difficult start to their lives, others have learning difficul
ties or health problems and i t is even more crucial that loving and stable.families are found for them.” One important fact the agency
wants to stress is that unmarried couples in long-term relationships in England and Wales are now eli gible to adopt, instead of just one partner being the legal parent. The agency would welcome any
inquiries from couples and single people who may feel they are able to consider adoption. Gwen Laird, deputy director of BDAA, said: “Parenting whether through birth or adoption can feel like the hardest job in the world, but the many rewards are life long.”
As part of National Adoption
Week celebrations BDAA is hosting a competition to ask people to lake a few minutes to think about how important being part of a safe and stable family is to them.
