Emsden welcomed members and 10 -vis itors to hear guest speaker Mr Chris Hall give a “Brief History of Wadding- ton”. Mr Hall brought along a school log dated 1590 which showed poor attendance due to unmade roads, which flooded and caused deep muddy ruts, and at lambing and harvest times the children had to help on the farms. Saxon farmers and squatters in the Tudor period were allowed to settle on common land, including Wadding ton Fell enclosure, where there was a gathering wall or fences to keep the sheep in. Mr Hall distributed maps showing the borders and bounderies between Lancashire and Yorkshire and where the bridges were built to get to and from places. He showed old photo graphs of how Waddington looked before the housing estates were built. Mrs Marian Barrow thanked Mr Hall for an entertaining evening.
Mrs Carole Briggs gave a resume of her holiday in India and her visit to their adopted daughter

The central heating in the church is being very temperamental so that some Sunday mornings may not be warm enough to worship in church. The stewards will assess the situation so that sometimes worship may have to be in the hall.
A new prayer box is now in the entrance lobby to the chinch hall so that anyone wishing for a prayer to be said may fill in the slip next to the box. Requests may be included in the service, passed to the prayer chain or kept confidential between the stewards. Anoth er £10 has been sent to the Nightsafe shelter from the

As Sunday November 1st is All Saints' Day, prayers will be said inside the cemetery gate and individual graves sprinkled with Holy Water.
Pupils’ right royal welcome for King Henry
HISTORY was brought vividly to life when a right royal visi tor called at Waddington and West Bradford Primary School.
Class five weren’t sure what to expect when they were told that Henry -VIII was coming in to school,
to.help them learn about life in Tudor Times.
They were on their best behaviour for sure, other wise the consequences were unthinkable! Luckily, all

Year Five teacher Miss Wilkins said: “Everyone was impressed with Henry VIII’s outfits and jewellery; he transformed the class

“He answered all the chil dren’s questions, they learnt a great deal and had great fun at the same time - an absolutely fantastic day.”
Each child had their photo taken with the King to com memorate the day, one they are unlikely to forget.

Come dine with us on Valley farm foods
FIFTY pupils from Ribchester St Wilfrid’s Primary School had the chance to learn from top chefs at the award-winning Stanley House Hotel, Mellon They spent a whole morning in the
kitchen with executive head chef Steve Williams, senior chef-de-partie Martin Hargreaves, and pastry chef P e te r Coleran, as p a r t of their autumn term project on “Food and
Farming”. During their visit to the kitchens of
Cassis, Stanley House’s acclaimed fine dining restaurant, the children were shown how to identify wild mush-, rooms such as the edible “Trumpet of D e a th ” and introduced to hand picked truffles worth hundreds of
pounds. Steve and Martin helped them to
prepare a pan-fried chicken dish using locally reared, corn-fed chickens and Ribble Valley wild mushrooms, truf fles, purple potatoes and spinach. For those with a sweeter tooth, Peter went on to demonstrate how to make multi-coloured ice-cream “palettes”
for dessert. Cathy Thomas, headteacher at
Ribchester St Wilfrid’s, said: “Our special topic for this term is Food and Farming’, focussing on the Ribble Valley and all i t has to offer. The Stanley House Hotel tr ip was a
fantastic opportunity for the children to meet talented chefs face-to-face and gain first-hand experience of how food is prepared and served in a high quality, professional kitchen.
' Stanley House Hotel’s general man
ager, Oliver Cooke, whose nine-year- old daughter Evie attends the school, commented: “We’re delighted to have been able to contribute to this term’s project. “What better way to show the chil
dren how local farm produce is made into exciting meals than to invite them in to see it for themselves! “Who knows, hopefully this visit
will inspire some of the pupils to pur sue hospitality or food production careers of their own one day.”

Blue Rihbon Fundraising, said: “The success of this initiative is entirely down to the support we'
have received from the Ribble Val ley community. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this total, who sponsored us and gave their time and energy to the proj ect. Thank you so much.” ■ FURTHER information about the Ethiopia Cold Chain Project can be found on
