A DEDICATED and hard-working swimming coach who committed his life to helping people “achieve their dream”, has died a t the age of 69. Mr Alan Moorhouse MBE, of Read,


was bestowed with the honour from the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 1998 for the commitment he showed in sharing his passion of swimming with youngsters in the area. Mr Moorhouse was the managing direc­ tor of Admagnetics, a firm in Read which


manufactures electrical engineering prod­ ucts. He was described as having an “enor­


mous love” for swimming and spent his whole life working towards sharing that passion with others and helping them com­ pete at a high standard. The passionate swimming instructor was


the chief coach and secretary of the Bor­ ough of Burnley Competition Amateur Training Squad and formed the Burnley Bobcats swimming club where he spent six mornings and five evenings of his spare time a week training youngsters. Mr Moorhouse leaves his wife, Sally, who


he met at a dance at a Conservative club in Accrington. The couple married 45 years ago at St John’s Church in Accrington. They have three children, Angela (43), Rosemary (42) and Ian (36) and a nine- year-old grandson, Lewis. Mrs Moorhouse said: “Alan was compet­

did and everything he achieved Just high­ lighted the kind of person he was. It was a privilege to have known and loved him." Mr Moorhouse’s funeral was held on

THE fifth annual 10k Amelia Cup Fun Run will take place in September. Competitive and fun run­


ners, as well as families who can walk the course, will be bat­ tling it out for the coveted tro­ phies for the fastest man and the fastest lady. The aim of the event on Sep­


tember 16th is to raise much needed funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Runners can register from 9-


15 a.m. until 10-15 a.m. and the run will then s ta rt from West Bradford Village Hall at 10-30 a.m., with the route then making its way into Wadding- ton and Clitheroe before finish­ ing back at West Bradford. The Amelia Cup Fun Run is


organised by the friends and family of Amelia Dickinson of Whalley. She was diagnosed with Cys­


tic Fibrosis when she was just three-months-old. At the time she was in hospital with pneu­ monia, caused by the condi­ tion. Her parents and the doc­ tors treating her thought she was going to die, but she proved to be a fighter and has continued to fight every day for the last six years. Cystic Fibro­


Holiday


burglary A COUPLE retur­ ned from holiday to find their house had been burgled. Raiders forced


their way into a cot­ tage in Grindleton and ransacked the premises before escaping with £3,000 worth of jewellery, a televi­ sion and camera. Police investiga­


tions are continuing into the th ef t, which occurred some time between the end of July and August 14th. The total value of


the haul comes to £4,000.


sis is the UK’s most common life threatening inherited dis­ ease. Sufferers find it difficult to breathe and digest food. Amelia (pictured) has to


have physiotherapy twice a day and a lot of medicine, a com­ mon cold can result in a hospi­ tal stay. Amelia is lucky though


because her parents, friends and family constantly raise funds for the C.F. Trust so that it can one day find a cure. Already they have raised £33,000 and are always think­ ing of innovative ways to raise more money. Samantha Dick­ inson, Amelia’s mum, together with her aunt Gail Bailey and family friend Aimie Hamer, of Re: Fit Personal Training want to make this year’s Amelia Cup the most successful yet. Entrants are encouraged to


get sponsorship although an enrolment fee of £12.50 can be paid. Donations can also be left at
