THE busy beer garden at the Tillotsons Arms for the sausage festival (s)


BLAZING summer sunshine wasn’t the only reason th a t Chipping enjoyed a sizzling


Saturday. ■The village’s second annual


Sausage Festival, held a t the Tillotson's Arms, was a “fryaway”


success.— People began arriving soon after


2 p.m., many enjoying sitting in the beer garden, chatting with friends and enjoying a cool drink in the long-awaited summer sun. . ■ i Children took great delight in


lobbing wet sponges a t men who. volunteered to be put in the stocks, “(jurly”, the landlord of the Tillot- soiis, was by far the most- popular


■ ■


‘--:By 3,p.m.'the barbecue was well under-way, .with'mash and onions cooking and,:of~course;the all- im'pp’


victim. which'Were donated ■ r ta n t ■


sausages,-^malny,, of by-local


butchers. -.-Chefs for the day were.Jeremy, Makins"oh,‘,Graham McEwan and


John Bentham, these “sausage supremos” slaving over the hot embers for almost eight hours. - A raffle, games and a lucky dip


were extremely popular, as was the face painting by Hannah McEwan ■ and Ashleigh Noblett.


... ; The arrival-of the “Deepdale


Duck” - the'mascot of Preston North End - was greeted -with- great enthusiasm, especially by the children.- He was very soon dripping wet,


having been chased by the young­ sters with water pistols. This was


'taken in very good part by “DD” : - in fact you could say it was water off a duck’s back! ■ ■ , ■He enjoyed himself immensely,


promising to come again nrat year. The sausage-making cbmpeti-


'■. tion had been very hard to judge as there were 24'entries, all of . very, high quality. There wereTO'entries from schools alone'.


‘


- The award for Best Sausage was : won by the St .Thomas's Centre, in


■ Blackburn, which was also voted the festival’s overall winner. The Best Combination Sausage


award went to Mr and Mrs Gra­ ham McEwan and the award for Wackiest Sausage was won by Bra- bins Endowed School, Chipping., ' The judges commented th a t the


' : school entries were the best entries, on the whole., ,


. Festival organisers this week


. expressed particular thanks to Mark Robinson, of Robinson Butchers, Chipping, and Tim


: Hamlet, of Hamlet Butchers, ; Garstang, and to the judges, who, . • by the end of the competition, : must have been thoroughly fed-up


.' with sausages! V' Special thanks also go to Karen


■ -Makinson and Jo-Ann McEwan: : -for all their hard work in organis; ing the event, and to its hosts, Julie . and Curly.

'Oliver!' leaves them all wanting more


AUDIENCES were left crying out for more when St Leonard’s Primary School, Langho, staged a-magnificent produc­ tion of “Oliver!” > Clitheroe’s new arts centre. The


Grand, staged the final perform­ ance of the show, with two previ­ ous performances staged a t the school. All the cast of more than 130 children performed superbly, with


;strong performances from all the main characters. April Wells was Oliver, Ynez


Taylor-Wood was th e Artful Dodger, Grace Davies was Nancy, Matthew Tattersall was Bill


Sykes and James Holt was Fagin. A humorous depiction of Mr Bumble was given by Mollie Bal- shaw with Widow Corney played by Felicity Bulless. The singing and dancing was


outstanding, with memorable per­ formances by all the soloists and, in particular, Grace's performance of Nancy’s tear-jerking ballad “As Long as He Needs Me”. . The enthusiasm and hard work


by the children and staff helped to make it a truly professional pro­ duction which received heartfelt appreciation from all who saw it, and a standing ovation from the audience a t the Grand. Head­


teacher Mrs Anne Pickup said: “I t was wonderful to see so much nat­ ural talent and enthusiasm and I was delighted to give the children the opportunity to perform at the Grand and receive such an appre­ ciative response from the audi­ ence.” One of the children's grandpar­


ents commented: “ I have seen many productions of many things, bu t th a t was moving and enthralling and I loved every minute of it.” - Pictured are cast members dur­
