Silly hats and wild walking


by Faiza Afzaal


'WET weather failed to dampen the spirits of a group of walkers who turned out in force to enjoy the 12th annual Whalley Walk and Ridiculous Hat Competi­ tion. The 30 walkers, accompa­


nied by Basil the dog, donned silly hats and com­ pleted the six-mile circular starting from Whalley. Since The Gamecock pub,


in Great Harwood, was closed for renovation, the walkers were treated to mince pies and mulled wine in the car park. The children were served

mulled 'Vimto and a warm- spiced fruit cordial called “Belgravia and Tobago”. The mulled wine was


donated by Mr Mick Oates and Mrs Stephanie


Grimshaw, of Accrington, who served all the refresh­


ments. The weather improved as


the group returned to Whal­ ley via the Nab and to end the day, some of the walkers enjoyed a well-deserved drink and lunch at a village pub. The Most Ridiculous Hat


competition in the junior category was once again won by brothers James (she) and four-year-old Myles Rose, of Whalley. James wore an attractive


hat in a Ghristmas pudding design, while Miles’ hat fea­ tured a large silver Christ­ mas cracker. Both hats had been


designed by the youngsters themselves. Mr Richard Sagar, of


Clitheroe, who wore a Union Jack hat with a friendly sea monster creation, was crowned the winner in the adult category. All the


prizewinners were awarded certificates and chocolates. The post-Christmas walk,


which was organised by local resident Mr Ivan Har­ greaves, raised £55 for the Friends of Whalley Prima­ ry School. Our pictures show - Top

• Worrall, .aised £250 in a gruelling four- hour aerobic session “aerobathon” at Whalley Village Hall and Jenny Hebson took part in a reverse bungee to raise money for the renal unit of Pendleside Hospice. Partners of thfe practice, Irene Chen­


ery and Carol Maher also work together as joint chairmen of Ribble Valley Ladies formed in 1998. Along with their sister body. White


Rose Ladies in Yorkshire, the combined charity has raised almost £450,000 for


research into children’s cancers. Their recent “Putting on the Ritz” ball raised £20,000 and a further £3,000 was added to the total at their charity Christmas market on December 3rd. “I t’s hard work organising large events


like this, but we have a great team behind us and i t’s very different from the type of work we do for clients”, says Carol, who specialises in family law. Irene, who manages the conveyancing,
