Canoeists brave the elements for charity


TWO Valley canoeists braved torrential rain to paddle 10 miles down the River Calder in aid of Breast Cancer Care. More; than £500 has


been raised by Andrew Bennett (25), of Read, and Ashley Baron (43), of Whalley, in a 10-mile sponsored canoe race from Cock Bridge in Read to the point where the River Calder joins the River Ribble. The pair were inspired


by Faiza Afzaal

acting as judge for the juvenile classes and trio classes for poultry. Mr Richard Roweley, of Nottingham, won Best in Show with his black Australorp bantam, while the Reserve Cham­ pion was Mrs S. Berry with her yearling Span­ gled Old English Gamecock bird. Many local exhibitors also fared well. Mr


and Mrs Allan and Dinah Procter, of Ribch- estef, picked up the. Best Large Soft Feather title with their large white Wynedotte female. Their grandson, Jason, also did well in the juvenile classes with his soft feather bantams. Others who enjoyed success at the show included Mr Rodney Bury, of Clitheroe, who


gained top honours in the hard feather ban­ tam classes with his polecat hen taking the Best Old English Game (female) title. Mr David Bond, of Clitheroe, received Best

by Mr Bennett’s mum, Mrs Valerie Bennett, who is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed two years ago and has now been classed as in the clear by doctors. . Mr Bennett and Mr Baron wanted to do some-


• thing to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and decided to take on a canoe race.


Money was also raised at a joint birthday party for Mrs Bennett’s husband, Clive, and another son, Russell, at Read Cricket Club.. Guests arrived wearing


pink items of clothing to support the “Dare To Wear It Pink” scheme run by Breast Cancer Care, . and donated money to the cause rather then buy gifts for the celebrations. Mrs Bennett (58), who


also has another son, Duncan, said: “They did the race in support of the campaign which is some-


. thing the family supports because of the experience I had when I was diag­ nosed, nearly two years ago to the day. “They both did really


well, especially consider­ ing the weather, which was terrible on the day, and we are really grateM


to everyone who came to the birthday party and helped us raise more money for the charity.”


A surprise for naturalists


A SURPRISE awaited Clitheroe Natu­ ralists as they arrived for their first lec­ ture of the season. Instead of bringing slides, guest speak­


er Nick Henderson had taken along five birds of prey complete for his presenta­ tion “Working with Raptors”. Together with his wife, Mr Henderson


runs Corio, a centre at Bentham which looks after injured or maltreated birds. Last year 117 were released into the wild, and he explained that the intention is always to make as quick a return as pos­ sible.. Vets are called where necessary and


treatment is in stages from seclusion in a limited space, to rehydration and an a'viary with exercise in water to regain muscle strength before release. The five birds Mr Henderson had


taken along would not be returned to the wild in most cases as a result of their injuries.; The male kestrel had lost one eye to an


air rifle and the audience learnt how kestrels hover following mice spotted by their keen sight. The tawny owl had beautifully marked feathers and a dam­


aged ■wing. A tough bird, the tawny owl has a var­


ied diet, its chicks are often scattered to avoid weasels and mothers will attack- cats. The third bird was a 22-year-old bam owl—a favourite of Mr Henderson’s.- This bird faces an uncertain future due


to a loss of habitat from bam conversions and wiring in church towers. Two other birds had been brought the first had a white face and lit­


along -


tle ears and is common iii Namibia and Kenya. The second was an Eurasian eagle owl which was raised by its parents as a captive and is the largest of the owls. Chairman Muriel Carrathers thanked


Mr Henderson for an outstanding evening.
