PRESSED TO IRONING SERVIGES

Family complete half marathon


r-'- Jv r'-.


Lcxal business entrepreneur Diane Duman seized an opportunity when she realised she could turn her favourite household chore into a new business venture and the result is "Pressed to Impress", her new business based at The Sidings, Whalley. "A big incentive was that I realised that by starting my own ironing service, I could run a business and still beat home with my son, who's only 14 months old' explains Diane.


Starting out in her kitchen at home, it quickly became, apparent that bigger premises were needed and with the move came expansion of the business. Adding specialist dry cleaning, clothes alterations and shoe repairs to her services, Diane now provides a "one-stop-shop" for her loyal customers.


"Feedback has been that they really appreciate bringing their dry cleaning at the same time as dropping off their ironing. I also offer a free delivery and collection service for those who prefer and this is also proving to be something that's really useful for busy people. I always try to accommodate all special requests and pride myself on the fact that I have a true 24 hour turnaround, while most ironing services take much longer."


As with any business, value for money will be the key to Diane's /


ongoing success and she's well aware that she must remain competitive V; on price to stay ahead.


"I've really tried to simplify my price list and so just have one charge for all adult garments as opposed to a long list for different items. It keeps things simple for my customers and I can conhdently say that I'm the most competitively priced service in the area."


For more details, call Diane on 01254 823668 or 07792 848687% or visit her at Unit 8, The Sidings, Whalley.

A FAMILY from Clitheroe is celebrating after completing the Great North Run in an av­ erage time of hvo hours and 34 minutes. Mum Denise Lawrence-


Beard, of Woone Lane, Clithe­ roe, completed the half mara­ thon with her son Josh, along with daughters Jess and Liwy Pamphlett, to raise funds for the Parkinson’s Disease Soci­ ety. The family called them­


selves “Team Lily Lawrence” in memory of Denise’s late mother, who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease. Denise, who is head of ca­


reers at Westholme School, Blackburn, but has also worked as a reflexologist in Clitheroe for 20 years, said: “It was a great experience, both inspir­ ing and humbling, with 54,000


,-Woodman'ID:,;f-,. r-Insulated Shirt - ,


people all running to support a multitude of charities large and small and often in memoty of loved ones.” She added: “Our thanks to


all those who have donated so far, friends and family near and far, plus the Age Concern group who meet at Trinity on a Thursday, individual staff from Castleford Home for the Elderly, staff at Westholme School and customers of the White Lion in Clitheroe where Liwy has been working this summer.” The team has raised 75% of


their target of £1,400 to date, but further donations can be given on-line at: wnv.justgiv- ing.com/teamlilylawrence or by cheque payable to: Parkinson’s Disease Society to Team Lily Lawrence, 97 Woone Lane, Clitheroe, Lancs, BB7IBJ.

'v - Mountaineering club has its ups and downs


SIX members of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club enjoyed an energetic bank holiday weekend of mixed weather during a three-day camping


SIX memhp.rc o f


meet at Brithdlr, near Dolgel­ lau. On the Saturday the group


walked the main traverse of the Aran mountains, setting out in clear p d bright conditions which deteriorated, and saw them en­ gulfed in low cloud and buffeted by strong winds and heavy show­ ers during the climb.Throughout the night and into the following


rnorning heavy showers con­ tinued, so on Sunday the group headed off to Blaenau Ffestiniog to explore the former deep mine workings of Llechwedd slate quarries and the visitor centre. However, on emerging back


i____ .


into daylight the weather had taken a dramatic turn for the better, encouraging members to take the short drive to Boch-y- rhaidr near Llyn Celyn to climb Arenig Fawr.


On Monday one group decid­


ed to make the most of the now idyllic weather by climbing the 500 feet Cyfrwy Arete.


It proved a testing series of _ ■


careful ascents and awkward de­ scents in which the use of a rope was appreciated, finally bringing the party successfully to the top of C ^ v y late in the afternoon. The club’s August day meet


was based at Kirkland in the Eden Valley, near Penrith. Nine members set out in fine weather to climb Cross Fell via High Cap, before descending to Tees Head and continuing via the Pennine Way to Little Dun Fell and Great Dun Fell, the site of the Civil Aviation Authority’s air traffic control radar. Returning to Tees


Head, the party descended via Wildboar Scar and the Hanging Walls of Mark Anthony back to Kirkland. At a recent meeting, members were able to try out a survival shelter bought from a grant donated to the club by the British Mountaineering Council. Using the grant, the club was


able to buy two survival shelters, two first aid kits and a thermal survival bag to use during out­ door meets. Details about any of the club’s


activities can be obtained from the secretary, Nick Millward, on 01200 441346.

MORE than £600 was raised at a valuation afternoon and evening held by Clitheroe auc­ tion house Silverwoods for Crossroads Care Ribble Valley. Visitors to the event


•n"; -A-


paid £5 to have up to five items valued by the Silveiwoods team, while Crossroads vol­ unteers raised further funds by ranning a raf­ fle and serving cream teas. Crossroads chair­


man Tom Mclean, from Rimington, said: “It was a really enjoy­


able day, with a great party atmosphere and wonderful to be able to chat with so many people about the work of Crossroads Care in Clitheroe and the Rib­ ble Valley.” Silverwoods holds


regular antiques auc­ tions on the last Thurs­ day of every month. Every Wednesday sales of household furniture, effects and collectables now start earlier at 4-30 p.m due to a marked in­ crease in items for sale. For rull details visit: www.silverwoods.co.uk
