SHOPPERS and visitors to ( a j^ e ro e received a warm and t'aRy weekend welcome to the town.. They were served free bacon,
sausage and egg breakfasts by staff from King Street department store, Dawson’s. The food had been freshly and
expertly barbecued by head chef Rob Lyons, of With a Twist Catering, the former outside cater ing arm of Northcote Manor, and the company’s managing director MartinJones. They also offered slices of beef
sirloin, chicken marinated in lemon and herbs or beer, pork loins and gooey Camembert, all dishes they demonstrated how to cook on both traditional charcoal and gas pow ered-barbecues as part of a barbe
cue event hosted by Dawson’s. Mandy Dawson explained: “We launched the ‘Have a Heart - Shop Local’ campaign a couple of weeks ago to encourage people to shop in Clitheroe. “Our barbecue weekend was a
demonstration of our commitment to the initiative by showing shop pers and visitors that local shops can add value to and enhance the shopping experience in exactly the same way as the out-of-town mall retailers. “Although the weather could
have been kinder, Martin and Rob, who were absolutely brilliant. “Our staff, who enthusiastically
supported the event, fed about 500 people each day, which is pretty goodgoing. “We received some wonderful
• feedback from those who watched • the demonstrations and tried the food.” As part of the event, Dawson’s,
gave away recipe leaflets,-free bar becue cookery DVDs, and bottles
' of barbecue sauces. ■ The store also had a range of
special offers on its stock of Weber barbecues. All meat used came from
Clitheroe butchers Harrison & Kerr, a near neighbour, while Clitheroe Booths supplied the Camembert cheese. 'Weber also supported the event.

‘Valley! Voices’ is the choice
THE name chosen for the new mixed choir recently formed in the Ribble Valley is “Val ley Voices”. Founder-conductor
Glen Pate this week confirmed the name of the .Whalley-based group and also revealed that the choir plans to give its first concert in October. Mr Pate said: “We
wanted a name th a t reflects the idea that our members come from all over the Rib ble Valley - and some from further afield as well. Although, we rehearse in Whalley, we want to establish ourselves as a choir for the wider community.”: He added: “ I am
more than delighted with the way things have gone. I would have settled for a singing strength of around 25, but we now have more than 40 on the books with more promising to join.;; “Several of. our
members had no expe rience of choral singing before joining us, but they are making rapid progress and there’s a
I wonderful sense/of enthusiasm. - " “We could do with a
few more men- to achieve perfect balance in the full choir.” ' / Section rehearsals
-will be held on Mon day night at English Martyrs’ RC Church, The Sands, Whalley, men at 7-30 p.m. and women from 8-15 p!rii. Anyone interested in
joining can go along'or ring 01254 824312 for
