AN exciting afternoon at Rib-' •blesdale High School Technol­ ogy College marked the start of the annual Rotary Young


Chef Competition. The Rotary Club of Clitheroe


staged the preliminary “cook-off” between young chefs from three local secondary schools. Pupils from'Ribblesdale and St Augus­ tine’s High Schools and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School each had to prepare a two-course meal for two people w i th in an allotted budget of £8. ■ They had ju s t one-and-a-half


hours and were encouraged to use local produce, with an emphasis on healthy eating. Coihpetition ■w;as tough and

standards were very high. After much, deliberation, the judges decided th a t Olivia Critchley, from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, was a worthy winner of th e tra d i t io n a l “Young Chef ap ro n ” with her menu of pork' with apple, p o ta to kebab and


■


spiced red- cabbage followed by a dessert of b e r ry samosas with chocolate sauce and mixed berry coulis. Olivia will now go forward to


the Lancashire and Cumbria Dis­ trict Final, to be held in January. Olivia and her family will also


be the guests of Clitheroe Rotary Club at a dinner in late January,


•when Olivia’s menu will be used on the night and she will work in th e kitchens of My tto n Fold Hotel during th e afternoon to help with th e preparation and cooking.


Second place went to H a r ry


Devine, also from the grammar school, ■with his lamb chops and mustard mashed potatoes accom­ panied by a spiced port jus and fresh asparagus. Dessert was a baked chocolate


mousse with raspberries and mas- carpone. . The judges - retired head of food technology Barbara Clapton and retired catering college lectur­ er Jim Bridge - also noted a spe- • cial award to Alec Tomlinson, of Ribblesdale High School,- for his delicious gooseberry crumble fool. A spokesman for the R o ta ry


Club of Clitheroe thanked Rib­ blesdale High School and its staff for hosting the event. Our picture,’ by David Bleazard,

Amazing response to music appeal


. 'VALLEY 'VOICES conductor Glen Pate is amazed a t the response to his appeal for copies of songs, hymn tunes and choral pieces associated with the Ribble 'Valley. Calls Jiave flooded into his


'Whalley home since his letter in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. He said: “I’ve been offered


music from all over the area - and I've had calls from places like the Isle of Man.


.,


“I stiU have to -visit several people who offered sheet


; music, but I -will get around to it soon. I t’s going to give me a . tremendous arranging and editing job over the next few months.” • One of the gems imearthed


A STEREO, worth £100, was stolen from a 'VW Polo parked in St Peter’s Close, Clayton-/


is a hymn tune, “Chatbum”, which was written in 1911 by Albert E. Kirkham to “Abide with me” and dedicated to the men’s Bible class at Chatburn Parish Church. Said Glen: “I t ’s a beautiful­


ly crafted tune and it proba­ bly hasn't been sung for years. I t would be wonderful to revive the tune and record it as part of the area's musical treasures.” The plan is for 'Valley Voic­


es to record most of the music on CD next year with the col­ laboration of one of the local bands.


. Anyone else with s h e e t . music as sociated with the


■area can ca ll Glen on 01254 824312.
