A TRIP around the Skipton-based Copper Dragon Brewery delighted 11 members of the Ribble Valley
Visually Impaired Group. Managing director Steve Taylor gave
the visitors a conducted tour. With visu al impairments ranging from partially sighted to blind, several members of the group had to rely on sound, smell, taste and touch to experience the unique world
. of Copper Dragon. Group secretary Keith Dowden
explained: “From the moment that we walked into the brewery, our senses were • stimulated by the wonderful smell of hops and malt. “The combination of smells and
sounds combined with Steve’s clear and passionate commentary made it easy to visualise how the brewery looks. The
tour was without doubt one of the best events that we’ve organised. “The evening was topped off with a
few pints of Best Bitter in the brewery bar Mowed by a superb supper in Cop per Dragon inn, The Weaving Shed, in Skipton.” . “I t was fantastic getting firsthand
feedback from visitors who were experi encing the brewery from such a unique perspective,” Steve commented. “Their descriptions, questions and
observations were fascinating and it was a delight to welcome them and their won derful dogs, who, incidentally, were com pletely unfazed by the experience. “We look forward to the group return
ing to Skipton in 2008 to witness Copper Dragon’s newly enlarged brewery and facilities.”

in court
A JEALOUS husband assaulted his wife when they returned home after he went looking for her while she was out with friends. Hyndhurn magistrates heard th a t
Andrew Brian Mason pushed his wife over causing her to bang her face on a radiator. He then repeatedly kicked her about the
body before she managed to flee upstairs. And when Julie Mason came down he
told her she had broken the radiator and it was flooding the hall. Mason (37), formerly of Highfield
Road, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to assault ing Julie Mason causing her actual bodily harm. He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report which the magistrates said should consider all options including custody. Mrs Philippa White (prosecuting) said
Mrs Mason had gone out'with her sister and some friends. She was in the Bridge Inn about 7-45 p.m. when her husband came in and confronted her. “She says he gets jealous when she goes
out and feels the need to check up on her,” ; said Mrs White. “He left the pub, but later on, when Mrs Mason was getting a Chinese takeaway, he turned up again and ordered her to get into the car.” Mrs White said they argued on the way
home and as they entered the house she felt her legs being taken from under her. She fell forward against a radiator, chip ping two front teeth. While on the floor she felt herself being
kicked and there was nobody else in the house at the time. When interviewed Mason accepted that
he had pushed his wife, but said it was not hard and she seemed to slip on some water. Mr Stephen Barker (defending) said
Mason admitted collecting his wife from the takeaway and pushing her as a result of which she sustained her injuries. He said Mason had felt immediate remorse and had left the house and spent the night in the garden shed. “His wife has since left the home and he
doesn't know where she is living,” said Mr Barker. “He moved back in and for three months a fte r the commission of this offence he didn't leave the house apart from his first appearance in court and an interview at my office. He has been diag nosed as suffering from social phobia and is struggling at the moment.”
