16 Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, May 21st, 2009 Setting Gurkha


record straight I WAS interested to read Contrari­ an’s view of the Gurkhas (Clitherde Advertiser, May 7 th) and the con-, elusions that were drawn in the arti-


■cle." However there were some inaccu­


racies in the commentary that I feel it is important to correct, and also highlight some aspects of the terms and conditions under.which the Gurkhas serve.- Almost 200 years ago the people of


Nepal were not trying to -“gain the favour” of the British. They were actually engaged in the Anglo- Nepalese War (1814-1816) with the East India Company; a war started as a result of border tensions and th e E a s t India Company’s ambitious expansionism into the Himalayas.


:


• The conflict resulted in a truce, with neither side making any real territorial gains, however British Officers of the East India Company recognised the ferocity and potential of the Nepalese Gurkhas that they had fought against. I t is also worthy of note th a t


Nepal never has been colonised by anystate. Then during the Indian Mutiny of


1857, the Gurkhas stood out as the only non-British troops not to rebel.


and country that have made these sacrifices.

; 2. The agreement also takes


account of the concerns of Nepal and states that Nepal has the right to recall all its citizens (The agree­ ment defines th a t Gurkhas are recruited, serve and retire as Nepalese citizens) in order to protect Nepal. The scenario of Gurkha sol­ diers attacking “their motherland” is not only very unlikely, b u t is not actually possible. ■. My conclusion would therefore be


i’ i


that the.one difference identified by Contrarian between Gurkhas and the Taliban does not stand, but

bunch of “slanty-eyed” foreigners into this overcrowded cduntryl So Nigel, when placed in the cor­


rect context, the actions of. our Labour Government over the past 12 years could hardly be described as “a disgrace” or “shameful” (your words). Recent events may have tar- , nished their efforts todo right by the Gurkhas, but nonetheless the Gov­ ernment should be given immense


■ credit for trying to resolve an injus­ tice th a t successive governments over the past 50 years have chosen to ignore. ; One final observation on Nigel’s most recent “Viewpoint”; he made mention of the MPs’ expenses deba­ cle.’


- Nigel’s observations raise a couple


of interesting questions: will he vol­ untarily publish'his own expense


•claims wenthe past:10 years? Who pays for his-homes in London,


- Swansea and Pendleton? By way of example who paid for his large plas-


representative, for his development work on the site and for what he con­ tinues to do to keep everything in good order. The Eco Zone is open at all times


;to the public and can be accessed . from Whalley Road -via a footpath alongside the Villa- Restaurant.

, Mrs Margaret Mid­ dleton introduced Phil Dunnet, of Ribblesdale Nurs­ eries, Woodplump- ton, who gave a talk on herbs.


He had brought with him a large selection of different herbs and explained their uses.


He informed members that many originat­ ed from either the Mediterranean or the Orient and so are not hardy. They need a lot of sun and well-drained soil in order to produce their essential oils.


He explained that it is not necessary to have a lot of room, as they grow well in pots and hanging baskets. He also informed members of their individual uses and .explained that they make good companion plants to deter pests.


Mr Dunnet was thanked by Mrs Adamson, who said that she was sure members would put his advice to good use. Tea hostesses

Eleven members had attended Scholars restaurant at Black­ burn Catering Col­ lege where the stu­ dents did a very good job as budding chefs.'


The resolution for the AGM in London is “SOS for Honey Bees”. The situation is' very serious and the implications for the food chain wili be critical if pollina­ tion continues to decline and more research is not undertaken.


The UK is losing its bee population and in fact, the bees, belonging to a member, have all died. So it is hap­ pening locally. The motion for the reso­ lution was carried unanimously.


Invitations to visit several WIs for spe­ cial occasions and the county events, including guided walks, treasure hunt and craft days were announced.


Following a vote by members, i t was decided to have a theatre trip in December, probably to “White Christ­ mas” at the Lowry, travelling by coach.


Members then got stuck into pot a planter each, which were entered into the monthly compe­ tition. A variety of lovely plants and compost were sup­ plied by Mrs Joan

WI The president of Grindleton WI, Mrs Judy Cowling, wel­ comed members to


■ the annual resolu­ tions meeting.


The only resolution to be put before HM Government this year urges the Gov­ ernment to increase funding for research into bee health.


Local beekeeper Basil Dearing brought along a hive and explained in detail its construction and the jobs of the vari­ ous bees - queen, workers and drones - within it.


He also described the pitfalls - cold weath­ er, rodents, and, par­ ticularly, the 'Varroa mite - and the help and knowledge afforded by the British Beekeepers’ Association.


There is a strong lobby for Govern­ ment funding into bee disease.


Mrs Catherine Taylor presented a bee fact- file, outlining the interdependence of bees within a hive

and the amazing ways in which they carry out their jobs.


The pollination of crops is of para-


. mount importance to human life. Honey is valued for its medicinal and nutritional qualities.


Mrs Ruth Cann described dangers


: which beset bee colonies, reinforcing Basil's information and experiences.


Mrs Taylor and Mrs Cann had attended the Lancashire Fed­ eration Resolutions Selection meeting, where the speaker, beekeeper Craig Hughes, imparted his intimate knowl­ edge of the subject.

Mrs Liz Parkinson was the winner of the Denman Bur­ sary, which she used to attend a weekend lace-making course at Alston Hall. Using unusual tex­ tures and colours of threads and wools, she is producing a modern and clever impression of a stormy seascape.


The next WI lunch­ eon will be hosted by Mrs Cynthia Open- shaw tomorrow. Please let her know if you wish to attend.


The evening was rounded off with a Jacob's join sand- mch supper and bis­ cuits baked by Mrs Kay Hopkinson and Mrs Anne Wood.
