RIBCHESTER-BASED theatre company Ribcaged Productions vyill stage J. B. Priestle/s classic play "An Inspector Calls" at The Grand in Clitheroe next month. Although written in 1945, just


as the Second World War was coming to a close, the play is set iri 1912, just befor the outbreak of


. the First World War. In a single night the tranquil


, middle class Birling household is about to be turned upside down by an unexpected caller, bn this night of celebration Arthur Birling, his wife Sybil, their daughter’ Sheila and son Eric are in the dining room toasting Sheila's engagement to Gerald Croft, son of wealthy textiles magnate Sir George Croft. Yet the happy scene is tom ,


apart by the arrival of Police Inspector Goole, who brings news of a young girl who has died


alone, cold and abandoned. His . questions for the family reveal more of the mysterious suicide and the girl's strange connections with the prosperous gathering. The


■ Inspector's interrogation reveals the dark secrets and connections to this tragedy and threatens to smash the foundations of their lives and highlight the hypocrisy of the times. Even now in the 21st Century-


the play packs a dramatic punch. A recent revival by Stephen Daldry has been a hit both in The West


■ End and touring. Its original ' production in London saw Ralph Richardson play the Inspector and Alec Guinness as Arthur Birlirig, with Margaret Leighton as Sybil and a young Harry Andrews as Gerald. Subsequently filmed, the part of The Inspector was memorably played by Alastair Sim. For Ribcaged, the mysterious .


Inspector will be played by Mike Coyne, who Ribcaged regulars will remember as a wonderful Mr Bumble in Oliver Twist. Another Twist actor, Michael Gill, will play Birling, with Charlotte Smith as Mrs Birling. Charlotte first performed for Ribcaged as Lady Capulet in "Romeo and Juliet". Established Ribcaged favourite


Richard Hoyle plays their son , Eric and the cast also features newcomer and local girl Sara Wright as the daughter, Sheila. "An Inspector Calls" will be


performed at The Grand on Monday and Tuesday February 11th and 12th at 7-30 p.m. vvith a 2 p.m. matinee performance on Saturday February 16th. Tickets (£12 adults, £6 under-


18s, £30 family) are available now from Keith Flood on 01254 878479 or from The Grand box office on 01200 421599.

MEP's anger at lotto ticket price hike


n a t io n a l lottery opera­ tor Camelot’s decision to double the price of tickets has come under fire from Ribble Valley MEP Paul Nuttall “This is nothing more


than a tax <)n the poor which will subsidise the rich and I think the decision should be reversed,” said Paul Nuttall, whose North West constitu­ ency includes Ribble Valley. “Most people are strug­


gling to pay their day-to-day bills and buying a lottery ticket or two,particularly for pensioners, is one of their Jfew pleasures. I understand there is inflation everywhere but a hike o f 100% is ridicu­ lous,” said Mr Nuttall, who is also Deputy Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Camelot, the Hertford­


shire-based company which has operated the draw since its 1994 launch, has an­ nounced that the price rise will see the prize for match­ ing three numbers more than double to £25. But the pot for matching


five numbers will drop by £500 to £1,000, while the re­ ward for matching five num­ bers and the bonus ball will halve to £50,000. “It’s Camelot that’s in it to


win it, but they may find that the backlash against dou­ bling the price per line may cost them dear,” warned Mr Nuttall.

Special event will give young people an insight into the world of work and apprenticeships


TIUMNING 2000, the local vovational training provider, is urging young people to get ahead on the job ladder as full-time university appli­


cations are predicted to drop this year foUow- ing the rise m fees. National figures released in December showed that applications to popular courses


at university, such as dentistry, were down by 5.6%. The main deadline for UCAS applications


closed on Januaiy 14th and Training 2000 is holding Apprenticeship events to give young people an insight into the working world and highlight other routes into their chosen career. Taking place on Wednesday and Thursday


February 6th and 7th, from 5-30 to 8 p.m., the open evenings will provide an opportunity for young people and their parents to speak to lo­ cal prospective employers including Twin Val­ ley Homes, Bateman and Best Dental Practice, Chubb and Unison about Apprenticeships, and to find out more about opportunities avail­ able locally. Both events will be held at Furthergate Busi­


ness Park, Harwood Street in Blackburn, and for the first time will showcase Training 2000’s brand new Scaffolding Apprenticeship, as well as courses in Automotive, Business Adminis­ tration, Construction, Dentistry, Engineering and Health and Social Care. Employers and Training 2000 staff will be

on-hand to offer advice and discuss how an Apprenticeship provides work experience to­


gether with a nationally recognised qualifica­ tion.


Steve Gray, chief executive at Training 2000,


said: “Our Apprenticeship event will mark the beginning of an important time in many young people’s academic lives. “Decisions about their future are looming


and it’s essential that they are equipped with the necessary information and advice to help them make the right choice, especially with the recent rise in university fees for full-time courses.


“Apprenticeships do provide a route into


higher education and the evening will provide a great opportunity to learn about the types of careers that can be accessed through an Ap­ prenticeship, and the presence of our partner employers will give students an invaluable op­ portunity to meet with the very companies that provide paid employment for our apprentices during their training.” For more information phone 01254 54659, or you can simply turn up on the night.

WITH a hot swimming pool, treadmills and massage tables, it's all you'd expect from a health spa. But this is for dogs! At the end of a farm lane in


Rimington is Canine Health and Hydro, created at Howgill Farm by Steve Maney and Poppy Redman with help from Popp/s dad Stuart Redman.


Steve and Poppy already run


Dais/s Dog Grooming salons, named after their toddler daughter Daisy, and made a major investment for their health spa with help from a DEFRA rural development grant. They converted a barn and kitted


it out with the latest equipment to help injured dogs get better, make fat dogs lose weight, and get any dog healthier and happier. Steve is so confident that dog


owners will notice the difference in their pets that he and Poppy


are offering the first session free of charge for a limited period. Steve, a registered canine masseur


and hydrotherapist, said: "There are really two sides to our service. Rehabilitation is one and fun and fitness is the other. "We liaise with local vets and get a


lot of referrals from them. We treat dogs with dysplasia, spinal injuries, arthritis, ligament damage and so on. It's treatable due to the dog being weightless in the water." Steve carries out massage


treatment in the pool or in the dry, and physiotherapy treatment is done by a visiting physio who is registered with ACPAT, the Association o f

On the fun and fitness side,.


■ the farm's nine acres includes an outdoor, training course, there's an indoor dog gym and the pool is Steve's pride and joy. "A minute in the pool is the equivalent of a minute's running, but with no impact on the joints," he says. A regular TV star visitor is Simba,


the huge leonberger dog that won ITV's "Top Dog Model", who goes for weekly hydrotherapy sessions. There are even pool parties for dogs, and after a little basic training


their owners can even join their pets in the water.


Steve and Poppy ran dog


grooming salons in Kent before selling up and moving to Lancashire, and set up Dais/s Dog Grooming salons at Padiham and Colne, now joined by the new Dais/s at Rimington. They also run a grooming academy


with five-week courses and weekend courses at Rimington for people interested in dog grooming. And for those clients who


are particularly proud of their pooches. Poppy is also a talented photographer specialising in dog portraits.


The business has a website: www. caninehealthandhydro.com.
