Even the weather couldn’t spoil Ribchester’s big day


by Julie Magee


IT took more than tor­ rential rain to dampen the spirits of Ribchester' residents during their


annual field day event. Despite the appalling


conditions, crowds of onlookers flocked to the ■vil­ lage to watch a colourful parade accompanied by the Red Rose and the City of Preston Pipe bands. Ribchr. ester Morris Dancers also gave a fine display. Sadly, several attractions,


■


including a display by Lon- gridge Gymnastics Club, Sumo wrestling, children’s races and the tug-of-war, had to be cancelled. “It was a success despite


the weather and I want to thank everyone for their support, particularly for coming on to the field after the parade and -visiting the stalls, refreshment tent and the marquee, which looked superb,”said event chair­ man Gill Turner.


' 7 New field day queen


Alexandra Finch managed: to smile through the rain; as did her loyal attendants Grace Talbot and Dora Green and page boys Archie Crossley and Dominic Finch. Alexandra, who. was


crowned by retiring queen Bethany Kelly, watched by her attendants Jessica John­ son, Emily Royle and Han­ nah Cullens, addressed the crowd commenting that field day was a highlight of the year in Ribchester. She then thanked organisers before officially opening the event. Former children’s TV pre­
