I t will feature seasonal Lancashire specialities includ­ ing white and green asparagus with a crispy hen’s egg and summer truffle Hollandaise for starters; corn-fed chicken with morel mushrooms and garlic foam for the main course; and a strawberry jelly dessert with clotted cream ice cream , and- champagne espuma for dessert. Cassis’s expert sommelier,


Igor Hobot, will be on hand to help select the perfect wine accompaniments for the meal.

Lancaster, agreed there could be no bet­ ter way to spread the gospel around the county -than: a 105-mile walking marathon, visiting 43 churches along the way. He was accompanied for the duration


by Rev Sam Corley, assistant missioner in the Blackburn Diocese, with several. other clergy and congregation members joining them for sections of the “prayer path” walk. ■ The walk was actually Sam’s idea and


-he persuaded the Bishop, a keen walker, to get involved. ■ ■


/ ■ “I had the idea about a year ago of


■visiting places on foot as a way of getting to know the different parts of the county, and the people who live in the different communities,” said Sam. .


“So often you drive through a place


and wonder what is happening: this is a way of finding out. But i t ’s more than just an interesting walk. We want to support the life of each of the churches and communities we visit by praying for them.


' “ Part of the job of any Christian is to pray for the needs of people, for the transformation of society and for the renewal of the earth. Naturally that leads us to start with prayer. “As a diocese, we take that responsibil­


ity seriously, and the walk is just one of a range of initiatives to encourage people to pray with-increasing faith and hope


for all th a t is going on in their local church and community.” Bishop Geoff commented: “I ’m very


happy to walk around the diocese and to get to know it a bit better, but also to be able to pray for the parishes and the peo­ ple who we meet along the way.”


- . The walk started at Silverdale on Sun­ day, May 24th, and followed an anti­ clockwise route to finish in Fleetwood a -week later. A service was held each evening in destination churches, and the prayer pilgrims concluded their marathon a t Evensong in Blackburn Cathedral. The walkers covered daily distances of between six and 20 miles. • Speaking at the outset. Bishop Geoff


said he thought th e walk would be demanding, adding: “I have walked these distances before, but not day after day.” Our picture shows, from the left, walk­


that stands out from the crowd

Saluting the work of Valley’s 6,000 carers


. by Faiza Afzaal


.CARERS make a massi-ve contribution to family and community life in the Rib- ble Valley.


' ' , Once again i t is Carers’


Week next week (June 8th to 14th). All over the country


- there will be recognition of the invaluable work carers do. , Local schemes like Cross-


• roads Care Ribble Valley will also be promoting the service, hosting events and advising how they can help. - In Lancashire there are


approximately 126,000 carers and here in Ribble Valley the number is estimated at 6,148. Crossroads Care Ribble Val­


ley is a charity th a t works tirelessly to promote the work of carers and to give them the help and support in their own homes to provide some well- deserved “time off” to be themselves..


- The number of highly


trained carer support workers employed at the moment is 22 and they support 65 families. As well as providing care in their own homes, Crossroads staff attend the Meteor Glub, - which meets a t at Clitheroe >


-Cricket Club on Wednesday nights. The club provides


social and educational acti-vi- ties for children and young adults with disabilities and additional needs. ' '• Also playschemes are


organised for young cared-for clients out of the organisa-

those caring for people who are suffering from dementia. Another development


which involves collaborative working is a series of road­ shows in which Crossroads


-and Carers Link -will be visit- . ing village halls throughout the Ribble Valley in the weeks following Carers’ Week. ■ , Manager Laura Grasby and a Carers’ Link representative will talk with people in local communities about carers, caring and the services they offer, and ask for feedback on any problems or needs.. . • During Carers’ Week this year, Crossroads is working in partnership with Carer’s Link to pro-vide advice and promote the services being offered. Representatives will be avail­ able a t Clitheroe Market on ■Tuesday, June 16th,; and


tion’s charitable funding, as well as diitings for the siblings of disabled children. I t is the charity’s intention


m


to provide respite care during the night for carers and to fur­ th e r extend th e service to


- Clitheroe Booths on Saturday, June 13th. They will also be in Longridge Market on Thurs­ day, June 11th, and Longridge Booths on Saturday, June 13th. People are being encour­
