Ball in Graham’s memory


A SPLENDID £20,000 has been raised towards a new heart scan­ ner in memory of a 29-year-old Ribble Valley man who died from a rare form of leukaemia. Family and friends gathered for a


charity white tie and diamonds sum­ mer ball to honour the memory of Graham Gardner. Graham died last April after suf­ fering from disseminated lymphoma


- a condition which causes tumours. Graham, of Gleneagles Drive in


Brockhall Village, who worked as a lorry driver, spent the last few weeks of his life in the intensive care unit at Blackburn Royal Infirmary. The Dunkenhalgh Hotel, in Clay-


ton-le-Moors, was the venue for the glitzy ball and attractions during the well-organised charity spectacu­ lar included a Champagne reception, a three-course meal, plenty of fun-


filled games, a tombola and an auc­ tion, which raised a magnificent £ 11,000. Entertainment in the form of an


“upbeat” disco and a band called “80s experience” ensured people took a step back in time and danced the night away to music from that decade. One of the organisers of the ball,


Mrs Joan Egan, of Whalley, said: “I t was a fabulous evening and

Invite back to church


A SPECIAL service designed to attract parents and children back to church is to be held at Whalley Parish Church. The pilot service, next Thursday at 4


p.m., will last for 30 minutes and he led primarily by the young parishioners with assistance from the vicar, the Rev. Chris Sterry.


Mr John Pilkington, deputy church '


warden, said: “One of the groups of people we hardly see at the Sunday service is chil­ dren. This could be due to the many sport­ ing activities staged over the weekend. “The mid-week service will provide an


opportunity for parents and children to come into church and learn more about Jesus and his teaching in an informal way. Some of the youngsters will get a chance to

everyone had a really great time. “The weather was kind to us and


I would like to thank all the organ­ ising committee and everyone that attended and supported the event. “I t was a splendid evening with


300 people there. “We are pleased with the amount


raised, which will boost funds for a new echocardiography machine for Blackburn’s new hospital to keep Graham’s memory alive.”
