Texts led a man to throw cleaning fluid


into partner’s face THROWING a bucket of cleaning fluid in his partner’s face after finding text messages from another man on her mobile phone landed a 20-year-old Clitheroe man in hot


water. Hyndburn magistrates heard that


Stephen Wright, of Bawdlands, claimed he had not known what was in the bucket when he threw it. However, his partner suffered irritation and reddening around her eyes and needed treatment from her doctor as a result of the dousing. Wright pleaded guilty to assaulting Claire


Woodward and was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report. Mrs Philippa White (prosecuting) said


that Miss Woodward had come home from the shops and put their child to bed. Wright started asking her about someone called Jamie. “He had read some text messages on her phone from someone called Jamie and didn’t accept her explanation that he was just a friend,” said Mrs White. Miss Woodward ended up in the kitchen


where Wright picked up a bucket of diluted cleaning fluid and threw it over her. Mr Gareth Price (defending) said that

Wright felt text messages suggested the rela­ tionship had gone beyond friendship and that she was cheating on him. Wright had not known what was in the bucket. The relationship was now over.

Belgium and other mainland European countries, fruit beers are less well-known here, but gaining in popularity thanks to pioneering independent brew­ eries such as Coach House. Founded in 1990, it produces


a range of 11 permanent beers and around 20 seasonal or spe-

Bolton, was delighted to make the trip to Ciitheroe to collect the company’s “Clitheroe Beer Festival 2007 - Best Beer” tro­ phy and rosette from festival organiser and St Mary’s Centre manager Nick Lakin. “Over the years, we’ve won


quite a few awards, but i t ’s always nice to be recognised for the beers you produce, especial­ ly when it’s the customers who have voted for you,” said Mr Bolton. Although he did not quite


sample all 37 beers on offer, Mr Lakin agreed with the outcome, saying the Blueberry fruit beer was his personal favourite. He thanked everyone who


supported the beer festival, now an annual fixture, and especial­ ly the East. Lancs branch of the Cam­ paign for Real Ale, without whose expertise and equip­ ment it could not go ahead. Runner-up in the


best beer contest was Golden Pippin, a light and refresh­ ing blonde ale from the Copper Dragon brewery, Skipton, and the winner of the best Ribble Val­ ley Real Ale Pub, again voted for by festival-goers, was the Lower Buck Inn, Waddington. Our picture shows

and Andy Lees hope their efforts will have raised £1,100 for Rock FM’s Help A Local Child charity. Between noon and midnight


the trio played around 200 games of darts at the Black Bull Hotel in Old Langho to raise funds for the good cause. This is the third time the trio


have tackled a 12-hour fund­ raiser. In the past two years they have supported Pendle- bury Hospital in Manchester and last year gave the proceeds to Derian House. Said Bill: “We try to share the money among different charities from


year to year.” A raff le added to this year’s funds. The trio were grateful for the


help they received from various companies and individuals. Said Bill: “Ribble Valley Taxis supplied a taxi for Andy who lives in Huncoat and the land­ lord at the Black Bull provided us with fruit juice and meals all day. My wife Ada was a big help with the raffle too.” He added that the three will


repeat the fund-raiser again next year but have yet to decid­ ed which good cause they will be backing. Our photograph shows Bill,


Lee and Andy during their 12- hour darts marathon. (A120507/7)
