zszm s x zm M ix a&M R s ' f Tim is new Methodist man by Natalie Cox


A NEW superintendent will take over the Clitheroe Methodist Circuit on Thursday. The Rev. Tim Thorpe will be officially welcomed to


his new post at a special service at Trinity Methodist Church. Although this will be Mr Thorpe’s official introduc­


tion to his new job, he and his wife, Kay, moved to the Valley at the beginning of August to familiarise them­ selves with their new neighbourhood. Originally from Derby, Mr Thorpe spent 20 years


working as a senior welding engineer for the British Railways Board. After answering a calling to the min­ istry, he left his job in 1990 and spent the next two years training in Manchester. His first job with the Methodist church took him to


Skelton in the North East, which is part of the Redcar and Saltbum circuit. In 1995 he moved to Penrith where he stayed for almost nine years before taking on the role of full-time hospital chaplain in Nottingham in 2004. Now he comes to Clitheroe as superintendent of the


area’s seven Methodist churches - Trinity, Paythome, Chatbum and Grindleton, Whalley, Waddington and West Bradford. Sharing the workload will be the Rev. Katy Thomas who will looking after the Whalley, Waddington and West Bradford churches. Said Mr Thorpe: “I loved my job when I was on the


railways, I travelled all over the country and Europe. I have always been part of the church as a layperson and my wife and I felt over a period of years that God was calling me to the ministry and now I am a minister there is nothing I would rather be.” An avid Derby County fan, the couple have a 24-


year-old daughter, Jessica, who lives in Glasgow, and they also had a son, Sam, who died when he was 13. Speaking about his hopes for his new role, Mr Thorpe


said: “I hope to be very involved with the community and I am particularly keen to get involved with school


work. “I want to build up the congregation’s faith and


A teenage ‘tomboy’ is looking for special foster carers to give her the family life she needs.


Caitlin, 14, (not her real name) has always wanted to be part of a family but has had a number of unsuccessful foster placements. She’s currently settled and happy in a residential unit, but still wants to enjoy an ordinary family life.


introduce new people to Jesus, acting as a bridge between God and people to introduce the good news.” A keen hiker, he lists holidays and listening to jazz, soul and blues music, among his hobbies. He said he was looking forward to his new job: “The


people in the Clitheroe circuit have been extremely gen­ erous and very, very welcoming and I can’t praise them enough. We are both so grateful to them.” And his wife, a primary school teacher who enjoys


gardening, travel and going to the theatre and cinema, said she was looking forward to making new friends: “I think it is quite exciting coming to a new place because when you come to a church you are already part of a community and you get to know people that way.” Mr Thorpe’s official welcome service will take place


at 7-30 p.m. on Thursday when the speaker will be the district chairman, the Rev. Stephen Poxon. The couple are pictured in their new circuit. (S170807/2)


Previous problems mean she sometimes has difficulties with other children and young people so her foster carers should be a couple without younger children, though they may have.adult children still living at home. People with social work or residential care experience or considerable experience of working with teenagers would be ideal and there’s plenty of financial, professional and psychological help and support available to make the placement work.


Caitlin has moderate learning difficulties and attends a special school where she’s settled and doing well. She enjoys reading, watching and playing football and other sports, calling herself a bit of a tomboy. Caitlin sees her mother, but often wishes she could have more contact with her family.


If you are interested in helping Caitlin, or other children who need foster care, please contact the Council’s fostering team on 0800 328 6919 or email familyplacement@blackburn.gov.uk

v direct from Manchester'’ V Gardeners’ scoop 10 top prizes


TWO green-fingered gardeners have scooped the top prize at Sabden. Horticultural Show for the 10th time. Alun Parfitt and John


Hartley share a prize-win­ ning allotment, produce from which has won them the best in show trophy. It is the tenth time they have won in 11 years. The most prestigious


Costa CRUISING ITALIAN STYL6


trophy in their haul was the Alan Green silver rose bowl for most points in the members’ section. They also scooped the


Peter Burnett memorial trophy for the best veg­ etable exhibit and the Fred Cottam memorial trophy for their tray of vegetables. The two men spend


hours on their allotment and their specialities are gladioli, dahlias, sweet peas and shallots. Mr Parfitt, who spends


three hours a day a t the allotment, and Mr Hart­ ley were pleased with this year’s exhibits especially after the poor weather. “We jus t had to pick


what we could, shake them off and hope for the best,” said Mr Parf itt. “Our best exhibit was our


shallots. We have never


lost with our shallots.” All in all the 64th annu­


al show was declared a success with the numbers of exhibits enjoying a sig­ nificant increase on previ­ ous years. There were 580 adults


exhibits and 180 children’s entries in 118 classes. This is an increase of approxi­ mately 50. Mr Parfitt added: “I


think Sabden’s show is thriving because we have members’ and open class­ es. There are so many vil­ lage shows th a t have closed down and people seem to be coming and joining us here.” In opening the colourful


show, Sabden Horticultur­ al Society’s vice-chair­ man, Mr Marcus Mul- doon, praised all of the entrants and supporters. He said that the show was the “highlight of the vil­ lage calendar”, adding that the wealth of produce was testament to the tal­ ent of villagers. The results are as fol­
