died from his injuries five days later in the Royal Blackburn Hos­ pital.


The teenagers shared a love of


the outdoors and had a wide circle of friends. More than 700 people attended a joint funeral service on January 26th at Gisburn Parish Church to witness the poignant service led by the Rev. Eric Kyte. Both families are continuing to

find it hard to come to terms with the deaths, however they say the one thing that has helped them cope with this awful time in their lives has been the “unstinting” support of people. Donations in memory of James


and Sam have totalled £5,847 for the North West Air Ambulance and almost £1,000 towards the Stock Car Benevolent Fund. The families told the Advertiser and


T


Times: “Sam and James were spe­ cial. We keep thinking they are going to walk through the door any minute. “Their deatlis have been a mas­


sive blow to both families because they were so together all the time. It's very hard, but we are trying to get through it.” Both families have been “hum­


bled” by the enormous amount of support received. Sympathy cards and donations


have, they said, come from total strangers who had heard about the accident, with donations from stock car racers in Holland and New Zealand. The families expressed their


thanks to everyone for their sup­ port and for their kind donations, which, they said will benefit the. charities close to their hearts. “Our memories of James and

Judge agrees that charge seems unfair


A MAN who threw a punch outside a Whalley nightclub has been given a community s e n te n c e wh ich w i l l also involve him doing an anger management course. At the same time, a lawyer


Sam are very precious,” they added. “Not many of us, whatever age,


are lucky enough to live to claim to touching so many lives in so many different ways as James and Sam did. Through everyone’s generosi­ ty, hopefully it will save not only the precious life of someone else’s son or daughter, but it will save the pain of everyone else that the lives of that person touches on their journey from birth to death. “The boys were taken from us so


suddenly when we thought we had so many years of their smiles and memories to live through. “James and Sam’s lives were


very rich indeed.” Thanks were also expressed to


air ambulance representative Mrs Violet Leech for her help in collect­ ing donations.

questioned a decision to prose­ cute Brian Norris while another man, alleged to have kicked the victim, only received a caution. The Judge sitting at Preston


Crown Court agreed that it did seem unfair


Norris (25) of Padiham


Road, Sabden, was appearing for sentence for an offence of assault occasioning actual bod­ ily harm, to which he had pleaded guilty. Blackburn magistrates had


committed him to the higher court for sentencing. The vic­ tim of the assault, which took place in October last year, was 28-year-old Gavin Duckworth. Mr David Macro (prosecut­


ing) said Mr Duckworth had been to the Rendezvous night­ club in Whalley that night. He called at a takeaway and


later walked back to the club to get a taxi outside the premises. As he approached the club, a


group of about four men came towards him - one of them was Norris. There was a shout of “There he is, let’s go and get him.” It seemed the group was


accusing him of headbutting someone earlier in the club. Norris then punched him in the face and the man fell to the ground, where other members of the group kicked him to the head. The defendant had pleaded


guilty on the basis that he punched, but did not kick Mr Duckworth. Club staff intervened and


Norris was detained. Both he and another man were arrested. The prosecution said the other man had no previous convic­ tions and was later cautioned by police for assault occasion­ ing actual bodily harm. Mr Duckworth suffered a


large swelling to the forehead, a small cut below the nose and one near his left eye. His nose bled a lot. The defendant later told


police that the victim had hit a friend of his in the club. Norris had previous convictions for violence, though some time ago. Defence barrister Mr


Richard Bennett said Norris had pleaded guilty at the earli­ est opportunity. The beginnings of the event


that night had arisen inside the club.


According to the defendant


and a witness, there had been loutish behaviour involving bumping into people and the like. It was suggested Mr Duck­


worth had pushed into Norris and the group had seen what had gone on. Mr Bennett also told the


court it seemed “very strange” that Norris has been prosecut­ ed because of his record while' another man committing the same offence during the same incident had only been cau­ tioned. Norris was'placed on an 18-


month community order, which will involve an anger manage­ ment course. - Judge Andrew Woolman said


the attack was unjustified, but also told the defendant: “It seems a bit unfair that some­ body doesn’t get prosecuted for kicking someone on the ground, but you do for punching.”
