AROUND 100 people put their best feet forward to support Sheila Ferguson’s Walk for Hope. The 55-year-old market trader


from Simonstone organised the event to raise funds for two char­ ities - the Rosemere Cancer Foundation and the Sanctuary of Healing which help those in the advanced stages of cancer. Mrs Ferguson, who runs Fer­


guson’s Deli on Clitheroe Mar­ ket, said she wanted to say a big “thank you” to all whose who took part. After walking the course, par­


ticipants enjoyed afternoon tea at Jimmy Clitheroe’s Cafe, organised by Mrs Ferguson’s husband, Cliff, and her two sons, Jamie and Ben.


Sheila’s Walk for Hope People of all ages and abilities


took part in the walk, which was led from start to finish by Mrs Ferguson’s seven-year-old grand­ daughter Bethany Parkin, her other granddaughter, one-year- old Sophie Ferguson also took part - by being pushed round in her pram. Mrs Ferguson said: “Thank


you to everyone who took part in the walk. I would particularly like to thank Ann Clegg for organising the route and leading the walk and also to Jimmy Clitheroe’s for allowing us to use the premises afterwards.” Our photograph shows Mrs


Ferguson and walkers before the s ta r t of the sponsored walk. (T041107/10)

HOPES are high that a Ribble Valley radio station will soon be on air again. An open meeting on


Monday night to discuss the provision of a local community station was well supported. As well as people previ­


ously connected with Ribble Valley Radio, meeting organisers were pleased to see a number of new people with a vari­ ety of different skills and interests. A small working group has now been formed


which will start work on Monday to put organisa­ tion and business plans together. Mr Geoff Jackson,


chief executive of Trinity Community Partnership, said: “We spent a couple of hours on Monday night discussing future developments it was all about looking forward.” He added that areas to


be developed in the short term include the provi­ sion of an online radio, with the long term ambi­ tion being to get an on air licence.


Said Mr Jackson: “The


enthusiasm was such that we will quickly be able to get people together. We were very pleased to wel­ come some new faces to the meeting. “There was a real cross


section representation.” • Groups or individuals


interested in helping realise the dream of hav­ ing a community radio station for the Ribble Val­ ley can e-mail Mr Jackson a t geoff.jackson@trinity- partners.co.uk for more details or for an expres­ sion of interest form.


Abbie’s top spot at national show


AT a top equestrian national event, schoolgirl Abbie Schofield (15), of Slaidburn, rode "Ninfield Love Story" into first place in the 138cm riding pony of the year class. The Horse of the Year


Show, held at Birmingham NEC is the UK’s biggest indoor event and Abbie and her pony, a five-year- old bay mare, gave a foot perfect performance, beat­ ing 22 other contenders for the title of Charlotte Mor­


gan Children's Riding Pony of the Year. Abbie, who has been rid­


ing since she was four, only rode Ninfield for the first time in February of this year. The pony, owned by the breeder, Sandy Ander­ son, was loaned to Abbie who qualified for this important event a t the Scottish Horse Show, in August. An excited Abbie


explained: "We did extremely well, the win was quite unexpected as I was just hoping for a place, due to the pony being a novice a t the beginning of the year." Also at the Horse of the


Year Show elder sister Sophie (17) came sixth on her horse "Gentle Breeze" in the large intermediate class. Pictured is Abbie


Schofield and Ninfield Love Story with their rosettes.(s)
