THE Ciitheroe Advertiser & Times has teamed up with Taylors of Har rogate to ensure th a t one lucky reader’s cuppa runneth over. Here’s your chance to win a year’s
!=, , = TAYLOR.S of HARROGATE
supply of the perfect blend of York shire Tea to suit your water, plus a Yorkshire Tea gift box containing two Yorkshire Tea mugs, a tea towel, a box of Yorkshire Tea, Yorkshire Tea Loaf and Yorkshire Tea bis cuits. There are 10 runners-up prizes of Yorkshire Tea gift boxes. Tea remains the UK’s most popu
lar drink, with nearly 165 millon cuppas enjoyed every day - but most of us are not enjojdng the best tea for our water t3fpe. Taylors of Harrogate is one of the
few remaining family tea and coffee merchants in the country, and way back in 1886, when the business was established, founder Charles Taylor recognised that re^onal variations in water affected the taste of tea. He started to blend his teas specif
ically to suit different water types. This old-fashioned attention to detail has all but disappeared.

except in Yorkshire, where Taylors’ tea buyers still take the time and trouble to do this. Taylors’ tea buy ers taste hundreds of teas every week, carefully assessing each and every tea they come across to see if it will make the grade. Only those with the perfect balance of strength, colour, flavour and char acter are chosen. For soft, medium or even medi
um-hard water, Yorkshire Tea is ideal, but if your soap does not lath er easily and your kettle furs up, Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water is the best blend. For more information about Yorkshire Tea visit

Dalehead is first with wind power
by Julie Magee
THE first church in the country to be powered by a wind turbine was officially re-opened and rededicated by the Bishop of Bradford, the Rt Rev. David James. Tosside’s Dalehead church, in the
Forest of Bowland, runs its heating and lighting from a wind turbine installed at the end of last year when the church underwent major renova tion. The building now serves as both a
wayside chapel and heritage centre with displays showing the past life of the Upper Hodder Valley. The grave
yard is also a biological heritage site with more than 130 different species of upland meadow plants. Priest-in-Charge, the Rev. Mark
Russell-Smith, said: “The last few months have been very exciting and
■now the wind turbine is in use i t ’s attracting a lot of attention. “The church itself looks stunning
with its new interior of lime plaster, lighting and re-ordering, the heritage displays are most impressive and at this time of year the churchyard is at its best. “The installation of the wind tur
bine has obviously caught many peo ple’s imagination - we’ve had inquiries from Wells, Norfolk and Durham - and even afar afield as Australia! Peo
Boost for life-saving rescue group by Catherine Taylor
A NEW extension cost ing £180,000 is enhanc ing the lifesaving efforts of the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team. The extension, which
has been completed at the team’s headquarters at Smelt Mill Cottages, Trough Road,Dunsop Bridge, was opened by the Duke of Westminster and will provide the team with an improved base for its operations. I t will also offer a resi
dential facility for out side groups thanks to the four new bedrooms, which will increase priva cy and group segregation for potentially challeng ing or excluded groups. The extra space and
facilities have been fund ed by a variety of charity donations and grants. I t will allow for greater
use by ethnic minorities, schools, colleges and adult groups where dor mitory-type accommoda-

Crowning glory
STAFF at a Ciitheroe building society are celebrating after it was crowned “Branch of the Region” for the second quarter of 2006. Skipton Building Society presents the
award to the highest achieving branch with in its eight regions, a total of 79 br^ches. Clitheroe’s Market Street-based branch
won the North West region’s award for the team’s excellent overall business perform ance and their commitment to providing first class customer service. Martin Lee, branch manager, said: “The
team and I are delighted to have won the ‘Branch of the Region’ award. We feel we have been able to offer high levels of service by really getting to know our customers. “The award is a reflection of our hard
work and our aim is to make this one of many to come.”

ing are other features. Bowland Pennine
Mountain Rescue Team comprises a team of some 60 volunteerss providing an all-hours search and rescue resource across most of Lancashire up to
the Cumbrian border where Kendal MRT takes over. The team held its flag
day in Ciitheroe, raising £459.69. Thanks were extended to all who sup ported the fund-raising.
I l s ^ l
ple are being made more aware that our buildings should be environmen tally sensitive. And, in fact, the first function in the renewed church was a renewable energy seminar in June. “Previously, we had bottled gas
heating, but this new source of power and heat will keep the building dry for better preservation. Not many churches can say they’re powered by wind as well as the Holy Spirit!” Built in 1937 from material from
Dalehead Parish Church, the church is officially known as St James, Stocks-in-Bowland. The parish church was demolished when Stocks Reservoir flooded the village of Stocks-in-Bowland. It is set in an iso lated spot in Gisbum Forest within an
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish of Tosside, which is
responsible for the church, raised £115,000 for its refurbishment and the wind turbine. Mr Russell-Smith added: “This is a definitively Christ ian project. We want to enable people to use the place to sense peace, to pray and to commune with nature and God
iP
- as well as helping them see our place in the history of the area.” Finance came from Defra, Lan
cashire Environment Fund, Forest of Bowland AONB Sustainable Devel opment Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund, and local benefactors. Others, including Forest Enterprises and United Utilities, gave help in kind.
Edward Elgar - the real Enigma
THE speaker a t the recent Ciitheroe Probus meeting was Mr Geoff Scargill who took as his topic, “Edward Elgar - the Real Enigma.” He had been invited to speak in his
role as chairman of the Elgar Society in the North West and very quickly the majestic strains of “Land of Hope and Glory” set the scene for the Probus meeting. While declaring that his audience need
not be enthusiasts for composer Edward Elgar and his music, nevertheless, after only a few minutes, his audience had become captivated by his vivid account of the music and contrasts of Elgar’s life. Despite in his darker moods seeing
himself as an abject failure, Elgar wrote music which was greeted with huge enthusiasm whenever i t was played. That enthusiasm continues to the pres
ent day, not only in the UK but in many other parts of the world, including Japan and many European countries for whom “Land of,Hope and Glory” and the “Last Night of the Proms” are impor tant parts of their musical diets. With illustrations, including the
“Enigma Variations” and “Dream of Gerontius,” the Probus members were swept to the glorious musical conclusion of one of the outstanding presentations of the year. The well-deserved vote of thanks was
given by member Jim Parker who right ly enthused over a most memorable talk. The next meeting of the Ciitheroe
Probus Club is on October 6th at 10-45 a.m. at the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Ciitheroe, when Captain John Caley will talk on “Memories of the Cape Mail”.
Helping hand sought for carers
A NEW carers service is desperate to attract volunteers. Funding has been secured from Lancashire County Council for Age Concern’s new Carers Access to Health project. But to make the free-to-users scheme a success, and enable carers and the cared for to attend a range of health appointments, organisers need help. The Initiative has been set up initially to
serve the over-65s as it became apparent that that because of their own busy work
loads carers struggle to attend their own health appointments. Yvonne Higgins, who is responsible for.
co-ordinating the scheme for the Ribhle Valley area, said drivers will be paid 37p per mile and that sitters'will be expected to wait with their charges for a minimum of two hours. All volunteers will also have to undergo
CRB checks. Anyone who is interested can contact her on 01282 680664.
Valley Rotary clubs join forces The money will sponsor a kennel at
THE sum of £1,500 was raised for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf when two Rotary clubs joined forces. Ciitheroe and Ribblesdale Rotary
Clubs organised a dog walk for the charity, which trains any breed of dog to recognise sounds and enables deaf people to be independent and remain in touch with the world around them. The clubs arranged the walk along
the banks of the River Ribble, starting and finishing at West Bradford Bridge with the turn round point at Grindle- ton Bridge. Main organisers Richard Hill and
John Snowdon said that the walk, along with a collection a t Booth’s Supermarket, was a huge success.
the training centre for a year and pay for all the dogs who are trained using that kennel. A small plaque is fixed to the kennel,
detailing the names of the sponsors. Both clubs expressed thanks to
Ciitheroe residents who supported the event and to Booth’s for allowing the fund-raising to take place. Pictured are John Snowdon and
past president of the Ciitheroe club Graham Claydon handing over the cheque to Nicki Lichfield, the main charity fund-raiser. Also pictured are Ciitheroe club
president Geoff Isherwood and Rib blesdale president David Frost, (s)
