CANCER survivor and fund-raiser for Cancer Research UK Ruth Hardiman is inviting as many people as possible to work up an appetite for “Britain’s Biggest Breakfast”. Ruth (51), of Clitheroe, is urging the


people of Ribble Valley to join Cancer Research UK’s fund-raising drive and host their own breakfast parties any time, any place, anywhere during March. Parties can be held at home, in the office,


weekly sections in the paper: “ I love it here ... doing an appren­ ticeship is ideal as you can earn a wage at the same time as getting a qualification."


Former Edge End High School pupil Andrew Wright started an advanced apprenticeship after completing his National Diploma in Engineering at college. He works as an apprentice engineer at Weston. The company produce parts for the aerospace industry and Andrews job involves operat­ ing machines and making compo­ nents:


“ I enjoy the practical work, but with this you get proper qualifications too ... I'm doing a foundation degree in technology with Burnley College. Apprenticeships are real-


- ly flexible and by the time I've fin­ ished I'll have 4 years o f experi­ ence and the qualifications to go with it."


Finally, Georgina Lambert was cel­ ebrating last summer when she won the coveted 'Pendle Training Learner of the Year' title at their annual awards evening: Guests at the Muni, Colne included restau­ rant entrepreneur Nighat Awan OBE, comic Noel Britten and Steve Palmer, Executive Director of the Lancashire Learning and Skills Council.

An Apprenticeship with Pcndle Training has helped many local students to build a successful career:


at school - or anykvhere. All that hosts have to do is encourage their guests to make a donation to help Cancer Research UK hit its £225,000 fund-raising target. Mother-of-two Ruth, who was diagnosed


with breast cancer in November 2001, said: “Joining Britain’s Biggest Breakfast is easy - all you need to do is register for a fund­ raising pack and hold your own breakfast party for friends, family or colleagues dur­ ing March.


“All the money raised will help to fund research into cancer. I’m living proof that there are effective treatments for the dis­ ease, but continued research is vital." Delicious, simple recipes from celebrity


chefs are available from the Britain’s Biggest Breakfast website (www.cancerre- searchuk.org/breakfast). Mouth-watering dishes include Raymond Blanc’s toasted oat milk porridge with dried fruits or Sophie Grigson’s Bircher muesli. As well as raising vital funds for research


into cancer, Britain’s Biggest Breakfast is encouraging awareness of how eating a healthy breakfast, as part of a balanced diet including plenty of fruit and vegeta­ bles, can help reduce your risk of cancer. To join Britain’s Biggest Breakfast visit


the website or call the Hotline on 0870160 2040. Pictured are Cancer Research UK fund­


raisers Ruth Hardiman, of Clitheroe, and Gary Kernahan, of Manchester, toasting the launch of Britain’s Biggest Breakfast with a refreshing cuppa, (s)


Starting point for Ramblers


HURST GREEN was once again the start­ ing point for the Clitheroe Ramblers’ Tues­ day walk. Ample car parking, well-kept public toi­


lets and an infinite variety of routes make Hurst Green a favourite venue with the Ramblers. Under the leadership of Pat Parrott, they


set off down to the river, crossed a pictur­ esque footbridge, went up a hill to take the minor road and across to the trig point on Doe Hill. Views, despite the murky sky, were clear and extensive. The route then took the walkers via


Lower and Higher Hud Lee Farms, Holly Hall and up through the woods to the top of Longridge Fell.


Lunch was taken overlooking the Hodder


Valley. A splattering of rain and a cold wind soon


had the group moving off and down through the woods and round the old quarry with its lake, hidden deep in the woods near St Quentin. It came as a great surprise to those who had never visited this spot before! The descent continued via Fell Foot and


Stockbridge and by crossing Stonyhurst Golf Course. No golfers were encountered and the crossing was aided by the thought­ ful provision of signposts. After passing through the college grounds


to the observatory, the walk ended by cross­ ing the fields back into Hurst Green, with no one getting seriously wet.
