people to be on their guard. He .said; “You must not respond to these offers.”

WHALLEY couple Darren and Karen Holgate had a spe­ cial first wedding anniversary delivery - baby Joshua Guy. Twelve months and three


days after the couple married their 6lb 13oz firstborn arrived on January 1st 2008 at 11-05 a.m., making him the oldest of the Kibble Valley’s new year babies by just three hours. Born at the Royal Black­


burn Hospital, Joshua was 12 days overdue and his impend­ ing arrival meant his parents, who work together at Darren Ross in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, had to see in the New Year in hospital. Said Darren: “We celebrat­


ed the New Year in hospital. I had to leave at five past 12 and came back at 9-30 the next morning. He arrived very quickly.”

Dad’s birthday wish for children


A SPECIAL charity that grants wishes for children has been pre­ sented with a cheque by a Clitheroe family. Instead of getting presents for


his 60th birthday, Philip Walms- ley’s friends and family gave money for The Round 'Table’s Children’s Wish. Mr Walmsley celebrated his


birthday with a p arty a t Clitheroe Golf Club, which was followed by a surpise get together at Waddington Social Club which was attended by many genera­ tions of the Walmsley family. Since Mr Walmsley’s daughter,


Angie, died in 2003, her family have raised money for the Chil­ dren’s Wish charity.


I t grants wishes to children


throughout Great Britain and Ireland who are aged between three and 17 years and are suffer­ ing from life-threatening illnesses. Our photograph shows Mr


Walmsley presenting the cheque to Janet Wareing, the Children’s Wish co-ordinator for Lancashire. (A170108/2)


Nightclub boss gets two-year drive ban


A NIGHTCLUB manager set off to drive home to Clitheroe after a night out drinking in


Bolton. Blackburn magistrates heard


that Ross Robinson was stopped in Darwen because the rear bumper was missing from his car, but a breathalyser test showed him to be nearly three times the legal drink drive limit. Robinson (23), of The Cres­


cent, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol. He


was banned from driving for two years and fined £750 with £58 costs. Mr Barry Dealing (defending)


said Robinson was a young man who had made the tvrong decision at the wrong time. He said his client was the young and success­ ful manager of two nightclubs in Bolton and when he was working he never drank. On the night of the incident he was not working and had been out tvith friends in Bolton.


Facing an emergency


MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley Dia­ betic Group were given a talk by para­ medic Mr Salman Desia on situations facing paramedics when they are called out to an emergency. He gave an interesting, informative


and, at times, humorous talk of what is needed and the time required to qualify as a paramedic together with the exami­ nations and experience needed. He went on to inform the group that during the period from last April there were 263 calls to the ambulance service by diabetics in the Ribble Valley needing assistance due to hypoglycaemic attacks, but only 12 of those needed hospital admission. He concluded by giving some of the reasons they were called out, but which


'^ £ ^ re not a ctu a lly emergencies, he ^Sswered many questions from members, and was thanked by the chairman Mr G. Dixon.

During the course of the


evening he lost contact with the friend he was meant to be stasing with and went to a hotel where the club had an arrangement and he would have been able to stay, but it was closed. “For some reason he can’t


explain he went to his car and started to drive home,” said Mr Dealing. “That was a stupid silly mis­


take, which he will be paying for for a long time.”

A FRUIT tree will be planted in Malawi for every tonne of aluminium drinks cans and foil recycled in the Ribble Valley over the next two years. Ribble Valley Borough Council has


signed up to a scheme launched by alu­ minium recycling organisation Alupro and British charity Ripple Africa, aimed at tackling de-forestation and establishing new fruit drying and juicing businesses. The council’s waste management officer,


Peter McGeorge, said: “As recycling alu­ minium is 20 times more efficient than making it from the raw material, bauxite, recycling drinks cans and foil saves large amounts of energy and thanks to this scheme Tvill also contribute towards plant­ ing 85,000 trees in rural Malawi. “The potential for this scheme to make a


real difference to building a sustainable future in Malawi is enormous. At the moment, the only fruit trees in the area are


imported in small numbers from South Africa, so combining a good source of fruit tree stock with training at Ripple Africa’s demonstration nursery is going to help a lot of people. “All Valley residents have to do to ensure


this happens is recycle their aluminium drinks cans and clean foil containers.” About half the new trees will be grown


from seed in 75 existing nurseries and the remainder produced in new greenhouses at Ripple Africa’s base on Lake Malawi, before being sold to individuals and small community businesses. Ribble Valley residents can recycle their


aluminium in their blue wheelie bin or, if they are not yet part of the council’s three- stream waste collection scheme, at their nearest Household Waste Disposal Cen­ tre. F u r th e r details are available at www.ribblevalley.co.uk
