Consultant bids a fond farewell to colleagues


by Kate Grieves


A RESPECTED Kibble Valley doc­ tor who helped to deliver thousands of babies has retired from the NHS. Mr Timothy Inglis, consultant obste­


trician and gynaecologist at Burnley General Hospital, has spent 25 years overseeing pregnancies and births at the hospital, often seeing children he had delivered come in years later to give birth to their own children. ; A father-of-two and grandfather-of-


four himself, Mr Inglis (60) was born in Birmingham, although his mother origi­ nally hailed from Nelson. He completed his medical training in


the c ity 36 years ago and moved to Burnley in 1983 to take up the consul­ tant’s post at Burnley General. ; Speaking about his departure, Mr


Inglis said he would miss his colleagues, but not certain aspects of the NHS. “I will still see many of my colleagues and consultants as I plan to stay in


touch with a lot of people, and the con­ sultants meet up every so often to keep up ivith the issues.


■ , “I won’t miss the hassle of all the new


Government changes and the ridiculous targets which are slowly destroying the National Health Service. I am very much looking forward to seeing the new women’s centre built which will be one of the biggest in the North-West and which will provide a wonderful service for Burnley.” Mr Inglis lives in Read with his wife,.


Jane. The pair are now running his pri­ vate practice in Whalley and he plans to spend more time with his family. He is also looking forward to spending more time on his hobbies, including photogra-. phy, carving walking sticks and paint­ ing.


, - He was presented with a new camera


and a new lens at his leaving presenta­ tion in the Mackenzie Centre at Burn­ ley General, which was attended by friends and colleagues from all over the hospital. ■

Walk ends in bright sunshine


A GROUP of 18 Clitheroe Ram­ blers set off from Ribblehead to walk over Bleamoor rail tunnel. The walkers, led by James


Jolly, took advantage of a dry weather forecast.; Following the line of the Rib­


blehead Viaduct, the ramblers walked alongside the railway towards the signal box and Smithy Hill, where the line then disappeared into Bleamoor tun­ nel. They climbed over Cragside,


passing three airshafts of the tun­ nel, through the forest of Mossy Bottom, where two young deer were spotted, and on to where the railway re-emerges at Hazel Bot­ tom.- ■ They then walked through


Dent Head Farm where they were greeted by the turkey yard-


birds and continued to the Dalesway Road, going north to Stone House bridge. ■ Turning east under Artengill ■Viaduct, and up the old Drovers Road, a slow, steady climb took them to the lunch stop at Aten Gill Moss. Heading south, they reached


the highest point of the walk at Swineey Cown, and continued south, arriving at the Ribble Way at Newby Head Gate. Following the road west,


towards Black Rake Road, they then headed south along the Dalesway and Ribble Way, to Blea Moor Road and back into Ribblehead. The distance covered was 12


miles, and the weather improved during the day, finishing in bright sunshine at the end of the walk.

childminders and children with Shirley Wilson holding her book and Cathy Delaney seated.(s)

that you are piloting an estate version once you are in the driv­ ing seat, the Tourer turning, gripping and accelerating with all the alacrity of its close rela­ tive.

Clio gets the boot T


By STEVE WALKER ' The engine range comprises


five units and opens with a 75 b.h.p. 1.2-litre. Next comes, possibly the star of the show, Renault’s 1.2-litre TCe 100 b.h.p. turbo-charged engine, which has a vigorous turn of pace despite its small capacity. Then there is the 1.6-litre W'T- i unity that comes with an automatic gearbox. The diesels are Renault’s trusty 1.5-litre units in 86 b.h.p. or 106 b.h.p. form, both of which are appeal­ ing choices.

Clio Sport Tourer will be big enough to meet your require-

. ments can be allayed to an extent by the fact that the Clio is one of the largest and more spacious superminis on the market. Only to an extent, however, because the Sport Tourer is still one of the small­ est compact estates. The car is 4,202mm long, which is just over 200mm longer than a stan­ dard Clio, but it has an identi­ cal wheelbase of 2,575mm. This tells us that the extra capacity of the estate has been achieved by hanging a bit more out behind the rear wheels. The crux of the whole Sport


Tourer concept is the boot and with 439-litres available, it is 50% larger than a standard Clio’s.
