ing: once you've opened your presents, remember to save your wrapping paper. You can re-use it next year, or use it to brighten tired books and boxes; ■ When cooking Christmas


Day dinner: let your vegeta­ bles share a saucepan and use a tiered steamer rather than separate pans; ■ On Christmas Day after­


noon: spend as much time as you can with your friends and family in the same room - and use an energy-saving light bulb as they la s t up to 15 times longer than traditional ones and use 80% less electric­ ity. And the la s t person to leave the room a t bedtime

should make sure to turn the light off; ■ At the end of Christmas


Day: couples could hop into a steamy bath together to save energy by only using one tub of hot water. Better still, share a shower for even greater sav­ ings. And remember to use your new Christmas smellies; ■ On Boxing Day: if you're


playing a computer game, let as many people as possible join in - but remember to turn your computer off after you've finished. Better still, unplug it altogether and try out a tradi­ tional family board game or charades instead; ■ Once the festivities are


over: take time to turn down the lights and wind down with a relaxing candle-lit dinner with your nearest and dearest.

Festive cake contest launches show


THE judging of the annual festive fairy cake competition for Ribble Valley Borough Council has taken place. This year around a dozen entries were submit­


ted by council staff, along with their family and friends. The task of judging the tasty treats fell to


Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Doreen Taylor, who awarded first prize to Helen Bolton, the coun­


cil’s printing officer. The fairy cake competition took place at the Platform Gallery in Station Road Clitheroe to help launch the annual Christmas exhibition. This year called “Compilation”, it features


handcrafted items from more than 100 artists. Our photograph shows the Mayor and her


consort, Mr Gordon Taylor, judging the fairy cake competition. (T041107/4)

Cheers to our latest lucky winner


CHRISTMAS has come early for our latest competi­ tion winner, Mr Vincent Ash­ worth, of Henthorn Road, Clitheroe. A keen fan of p or t and


Madeira, so much so that during his holidays he visited both the Port house of War- res and the Madeira house of Blandys, he was delighted with his win and said: "Drinking it in the festive season will bring back many happy memories." His prize, presented by our


wine writer Mike Murdoch, was three bottles of Otima 10-year-old Tawny Port, which is packed with honey, fruit and nut flavours making it an ideal after dinner drink or to be different served chilled as an aperitif. He also wins three bottles


of Blandy's Alvada, five- year-old, from the island of Madeira, ideal as an accom­ paniment to rich fruit cake, dark chocolate puddings and some cheeses. Second place winner is


M a rtin Nolan, of Chapel Close, West Bradford, who receives two bottles of Oti- man Port and two bottles of Alvada Madeira. Third prize goes to Sally Cole, of Hip- pings Way, Clitheroe, who receives one bottle of each. The correct answer to the


question was the Symington Family/Group who were the


generous sponsors of the competition. Although a fairly new resi­


dent in the Ribble Valley, Mr Ashworth is also a keen advo­ cate of the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times. Pictured is Mike Murdoch

Restaurant hosts civic


fund-raiser AN Indian restaurant host­ ed a fund-raising evening for Clitheroe’s first couple. The event at the Dil Raj


Restaurant in Parson Lane was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. David Berryman and his wife, Maria, along with other guests. As well as a raffle, business


owner Romjan Ali donated proceeds from the food orders towards the mayor’s charity. Our photograph shows


guests and staff at the fund­ raiser. (T061107/1)


Residents’ massive boost for Christie’s The money was presented to


MOBILE home owners in


Clitheroe have wheeled in more than £11,000 for the Christie Hospital. After a year of fund-raising activ­


ities at the Three Rivers Woodland Park, the impressive sum, which includes a donation of £1,550 from site owner Harold Cowbum, £3,000 from the sister caravan sites Crowtrees at Tosside and Shirebum at Edisford Bridge, will be donated to the Christie’s Young Oncology Unit, which treats teenagers and young adults with cancer. The money, which includes a

Christie representatives at a fund­ raising Hallowe-e’n party at Three Rivers Woodland Park, in West Bradford. Most of the fund-raising is led by


resident Beryl Statham, who spends her week at her home in Milnrow, Rochdale, and her weekends at the residential park - the majority of the time running fund-raising events. This year’s donation takes the


Three Rivers’ total to £50,112 and Beryl is delighted to pass the £50,000 landmark target she set herself when she started. She said: “We are thrilled to be successful, but now we've hit our target we will carry on collecting for Christie's because it’s so worthwhile.”
