. amazed by.the support and generosity I received, so much so that I’m consid-


..^ ering making this an annual event. • . “I am absolutely certain that C-R-Y will be delighted with the money we raised and hopefully I have done some-


. thing to raise their profile in our com­ munity and people’s awareness of the

attended and supported the event.” Our picture shows the “Wags” crick-

A TALK on "The Human Impact of Dia­ betes" was given to members of the Ribble Valley Diabetic Group by Prof. John Wild­ ing, of the University of Liverpool. He spoke about the implication of being


diagnosed and the effect on the family. He said that families at risk are being screened to see if other members are at risk because children of parents with diabetes have a greater chance of contracting diabetes than other children.' The risk of heart problems and high cho­

•Farmers take on top chefs


by Duncan Smith


A TEAM of Young F arm ers from th e Ribble Valley took on profes­ sional chefs in a new BBC cookery show screened th is week. Adam Thornber, of Bolton-by-Bow-


land YFC, Lizzie Goar, of Samlesbury YFC, and James Hoperaft, of Clitheroe YFC, travelled to London early last month to film the 45-minute-BBCl show hosted by renowned food critic Loyd Grossman and “Strictly Come Dancing’s” Anton Du Beke. . . - The format of “Step Up To The Plate” sees a team of “home cooks” go head-to-head against celebrated chefs, whose professional reputations are on the line. Each team must produce and serve a three-course meal, to be judged in a “blind tasting” by Loyd Grossman. Competing for a cash prize, the


Young Farmers devised a delicious menu showcasing a range of locally-


sourced ingredients. Their starter was smoked haddock with shrimps and lemon butter sauce served on a pikelet., Their main course was corn-fed


chicken stuffed with sausage meat, served with black pudding mashed potato and a pea and ham broth, with a dessert of rhubarb fool to finish off. After a tense judging session, the


relieved chefs - Theo Ran d all and James Tanner - just came out on top, with Loyd Grossman saying it had been a tough call. “■W


e heard about the new programine


through Cowman’s Sausage Shop (in Clitheroe), who also supplied some of the ingredients, then we contacted the BBC and took i t from there,” said Adam Thornber. “Although we didn’t win, i t was a


great experience and we really enjoyed going down to London and getting an insight into how a TV programme is


made. “Loyd Grossman also said he was


very impressed with our meal and it was a hard one to judge, so we were


happy with that.” The programme was screened on


Tuesday a t 2-15 p.m. Our picture shows Young Farmers


Adam, Lizzie and James with chefs Theo Randall and James Tanner, pro­ gramme host Anton Du Beke and judge Loyd Grossman, (s)

Ribble Valley has come out on top in a poll by BBC Gardeners’World maga­ zine. . . .

v .v T h e magazine says of th e Inn a t Whitewell: “Sitting just above the River


Hodder, this former deerkeeper’s lodge, has sweeping views across parkland to


rising fells in the distance and down the. valley into the Forest of Rowland. “The riverside garden is the perfect


place for relaxing, with raised beds and containers planted in a soothing palette of silver, grey and green. “Local gardens include Gawthorpe


Hall and Browsholme Hall, while Hold­ en Clough Nursery is a real treasure
