The sponsored challenge proved

District will attend the event at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex, the birthplace of the Scouting movement, this summer. To help them with their preparations, the


chairman of Clitheroe District Scout Fellow­ ship, Ken Staines, presented the youngsters with “swop badges” at a recent fund-raising coffee morning. The Scouts were presented with Clitheroe


District’s official badge, which has the Pen­ dle witch and East Lancashire rose embla­ zoned on it. The idea is that they will be able to swop


these badges with other Scouts, who will be attending the event from all over the world. Some of the funds raised by the coffee


morning, which was held at the Ribble Valley Mayor’s Parlour in Clitheroe, will be used towards the cost of the Scouts attending the event. Our picture shows Mr Staines presenting

Cancer charity mum loses fight for life


by Vivien Meath


A RIBBLE VALLEY mother of five, who joined the committee of Ribble Val­ ley and White Rose Ladies five years ago, has lost her own fight against can­ cer.


Angela Oldfield (49) had joined the com­


mittee of the award-winning charity to help with its outstanding efforts to raise money for research into children’s cancers for Can­ cer Research UK. Just two years after joining the commit­


tee, Angela was diagnosed with breast can­ cer and has remained a valued member of the team while fighting her own battle against the disease, which developed into bone cancer, for the past three years.


Fellow committee member Carol Maher


explained: “Angela’s parents, Betty and John Crosier, joined us to represent her when we travelled to London in the autumn to receive an award for ‘Outstanding Service’ in fund­ raising from Cancer Research UK. They were able to visit the research laboratories with us and take some comfort in the hope that we will eventually manage to beat this most terrible virulent killer of our times.” The charity will be dedicating its next


lunch on May 2nd to Angela and hope that members old and new will attend the event in support of the cause closest to her heart. The speaker will be entertaining Town Crier, David Mitchell regaling “For Crying Out Loud”. For tickets to the tribute luncheon, con­ tact Karen Weaving on 01756 700100.
