A FIFTIETH celebration that was fun-filled and fabulous! T h a t ’s the verdict on


Ribchester’s anniversary week­ end which was packed with memorable moments from the sellout cabaret concert on Friday night to Saturday’s fire­


work finale and Sunday’s tradi­ tional tea party.


Field Day Chairman Gill


Turner said: “The verdict was it’s been fantastic, it really was a superb few days. We .set out to involve every part of the


community over the weekend and we achieved it - there was


something for everybody.” She paid tribute “to the help


of a really good committee” and all who helped ensure the Field Day was a success. New Field Day Queen Siobhan


Lough-Scott had a particularly busy day. After officially opening the


main Saturday event, she took part in a display by Longridge Gymnastics, and then com­ peted in the afternoon races! The crowning ceremony


must have brought back some very special memories for the Field Day’s VIP guests - the 26 former Queens who joined the parade.


Entertainments ranged from


John Evans with his amaz­ ing act entitled The Balance Qf Power when he balanced a Mini car on his head, to Lancashire Hawks and Owls, Ribchester Morris dancers and the Longridge High School Samba Band. The evening saw the village in party mood with music from " local bands Crown Top Kings and Empire State. T h e w e e k ­
