Jones, who has penned a string of- detective stories aimed at teenagers, has written and pro­ duced “Charlie and the Chocolate Challenge” for the Chipping Ama­ teur Theatrical Society (CATS), which will be performed in the run­ up to Christmas. The production, featuring school


children from the Kibble Valley, is based loosely on “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” - only with a completely new twist! Patricia, who has written several


other plays and pantomimes for CATS, said: “When I f irs t got . interested in writing, the first prize


I ever won was a bar of chocolate ■ so I guess you can say things have. come full circle!


. “ I t ’s g re a t to be involved in something like this and when we held the auditions recently it was like a scene out of the X-Factor because so many children wanted . to be involved.” ■ A former headmistress at Koe- •


buck-Infants School in Preston, Patricia began writing children’s . fiction 10 years ago and she has : since had five books published, the latest being “Circles of Blood” - a detective story set in France. . _ However, when she is not pro­


ducing novels, the 71-year-old likes to channel her creative talents in other directions. “I’ve been involved in a number ■


of productions with CATS over the years,” said Patricia; who lives in


Longridge.. “Before now, we’ve done Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Pinocchio. . “I decided to base this one on ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Facto­ ry’ because children love the story and there’s a moral to it as well. • ■ “However, my version has a

Challenge” is being performed at Chipping Village Hall on Novem­ ber 27th, 28th and 29th. Tickets are priced £5 for adults


and £3 for children and can be pur­ chased at Chipping Post Office or

'WINTEK had definitely arrived when the Bowland Transit Club set off oh their first walk of the season. ■There was bright sunlight as the


group caught the 11-20 Bowland Tran­ sit bus from Clitheroe, but by the time the party left the bus at Walloper Well, Waddington Fell, clouds had loomed on


the horizon at the start of the four-mile walk. On reaching “The Wife” .view-


: point the group found themselves in a short sharp blizzard, providing the pho­ tographers with pictures of the group round the pile of stones with snow falling around them. The walkers fol­ lowed the Shivering Ginnel to Beacon Hill, which provided sweeping views of the surrounding'countryside, before walking to Smalden Lane. :

How you can take the pain out of Christmas


ACHING feet from all that shopping, hang­ overs, and indigestion can all trouble us dur­ ing the run-up to Christmas and in the holi­ day period, so we have got a package of tips and remedies. - ■ Partying, shopping, and all the rush and excitement associated with’ Christmas is part of the festivities, but it takes a toll on our health. If you swan through the run-up and the


■ HANGOVER High doses of caffeine and painkillers are


traditional remedies, but you could try avoiding a throbbing head altogether by sleeping on a herbal pillow after that heavy, late-night session.


■ CRAMP Around 13 million of us suffer regular


holiday without one ailment - whether it is a strained back from lugging all those shop­ ping bags or the annual sore throat - you are in the minority. “This time of year always sees a rise in


night cramps - eight in 10 people have suf­ fered from muscle cramp at night - but dur­ ing the party season this number increases’ as we drink and dance the night away. Dr Stillman says: “Dehydration and unac­


iday is looming and they want to sort out symptoms that may have been bothering them for a while, so they can celebrate with­ out worry. Many are anxious to avoid trying to seek treatment when it's not so easily available over the Christmas period.” Check out our package of the most com­


mon 12 ailments of Christmas and tips and treatments to help prevent or cure them.

patients coming-in. with niggling ailments, like tension headaches or backache, and digestive problems, like indigestion and heartburn, as a result of over-indulging in rich food and alcohol,” says GP Dr Paul Stillman. : “In addition, people are aware that a hoi--


customed exercise can both trigger cramp, particularly in the legs. Drinking Indian tonic water - which contains quinine - can help reduce attacks.” Muscle cramp can last from seconds to minutes, but the pain may be felt for up to 24 hours afterwards. If it per­ sists you should seek advice from a GP.


■ BAD BREATH Don't blow chances of romance at Christ­


mas parties because, of this embarrassing symptom. Avoid or minimise it by conscien­ tious dental hygiene: brush, floss and use a tongue cleaner. Use a mouthwash, recommended by a


dentist or pharmacist, ideally just before sleeping. Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid too much coffee and chew sugar-free gum.


■ ASTHMA Hidden asthma triggers can ruin festive


cheer for sufferers. Artificial trees and deco­ rations brought out of storage harbour dust can set off attacks for some. Asthma UK suggests washing or wiping


decorations down before putting them up and shaking artificial trees outside to shed dust before displaying. The charity also warns that pollen and


mould spores shed by real trees affect some sufferers. Avoiding those trees - and scented candles or perfumed room sprays - may reduce symptoms in the vulnerable. ■ Continued on next page
