Falconry for beginners


AN introduction to a birds of prey course and a chance to learn more about the ancient hunting sport of falconry is being offered by the Con- iston Falconry Centre, which has its home in the grounds of the Coniston Hotel at Coniston Cold, The falconry centre is running a 12-


week introduction to falconry and bird of prey management course run by falcon­ ry c entre manager Mark Presley and p a r tic ip an ts will have chance to meet some of th e centre's 30 birds including eagles, falcons, hawks and owls. Visitors will learn how to handle birds


of prey, how to feed and look after the birds as well as learning about the biolo­ gy and psychology of the.birds. Guests will practice leatherwork and


learn all about bird fitness programmes and weight management. Centre manager Mark Presley said: “Falconry has been my passion for many


years and the secrets of th is ancient h u n t in g a r t have been passed down through generations of falconers. “We specialise in falconry and eagle


experiences here, but this is the first time we have run an evening course and we are very encouraged by the response so far so


I am looking forward to sh a r in g my knowledge with the people who enrol.” The course starts on Monday, October


29th, and will run on Monday evenings until the end of January. For more information or to book, call Louise Bolton on 01756 748080.

Farmers’ chance for health check


FARMERS and agricultural workers from the Ribhle Valley are being given the oppor­ tunity of getting a quick “once over” health check by a team of district nurses a t Gisbum Auction Mart today. I t ’s all part of East Lancashire Primary


Care Trust’s commitment to Rural Health Week, which focuses on raising the.profile of rural health issues, and the hidden problems behind what townsfolk see as a healthy way of life. So a team of district nurses who work out


of Colne and Barnoldswick will he attending the auction, taking their services out to the farming communities th a t congregate there for business. The “captive audience” will no t be the


animals due for sale th a t day, h u t those engaged in agriculture, primarily menfolk who don’t have the time or inclination to go for routine health checks. Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., the farming


fraternity will be offered free blood pressure and blood sugar checks a t the auction, with no one bidding for a high reading. District Nurse Matron Anne Briggs, who


is based a t Colne, said: “We know th a t tra ­ ditionally farmers and agricultural workers find it hard to access NHS services, and even if they have signs of a problem, they often carry on, no matter what. “So as part of Rural Health Week, we are


taking th e basic h e a lth check service to them where, they work and meet. “I t will only take five minutes for both


tests to be done, and we can help give advice into the bargain. ” Anne pointed out th a t people working in


rural areas often had “hidden problems” such as working alone and being isolated, not to mention the worry and stress related to everyday fanning and issues such as foot and mouth disease.
