More than 700 people, includ­ ing former employees, attend- ed and the big attractions included a new CAT loading


shovel, worth£350,000, with


everyone - children to grand­ dads - wanting their picture


taken in the machine’s giant” bucket. The Clitheroe Castle diesel


locomotive brought in many rail enthusiasts, while there


were veryfewyoungsters, who didn’t ei\joy having their face painted.


There was steady business


at the raffle stall, with an air balloon ride for the owner of the helium-balloon that trav­ els the furthest.


Hanson’s operations man­


ager, Simon Moorhouse said: “All credit to our staff for the work they haveputin to make this a successful event. The hope is that wehave raised lots of money for five local chari­ ties and given the people of Clitheroea chance to see what we do inside our plant.” Clitheroe’s long-serving


Town Crier Roland Hailwood opened the event and the fleet offive mini-buses taking visi­ tors on tours of the cement works hardly seemed to stop.

Clitheroe students among the stars


Students learning “on thejob” in Clitheroe were recognised atBlackburnCollege’sigth an­ nual Further Education Star Awards ceremony Deborah Giles (17), of Dor­


set Drive, Clitheroe, received the Centre Apprentice Award after successfully completing her Level 2 Professional Cook­ ery course. Despite travelling from


Clitheroe to Blackburn Col-' lege, she has a 100% attend­ ance record and achieved straight distinctions in her end-of-year assessments. Deborah proved to be an


outstanding employee and has progressed really well during her apprenticeship at the Edisford Bridge Hotel in Clitheroe. “I’ve learnt a lot and the


head chefhas been really help­ ful,"said Deborah. “1 particularly epjoyed pa­


tisserie and the teachers at Blackburn College have been great.”


David Clay, owner of the


Edisford Bridge Hotel, said Deborah had been fantas­ tic and really deserved the award: “She’s always really enthusiastic and has worked very well here. Our head chef David Chamley is over the jnoon with her. She’s come on in leaps and bounds.”


Meanwhile, Blackburn stu­


dent Rosemina Abdulla trav­ elled in the opposite direction, from Blackburn to Clitheroe, to complete her Level 2 and 3 in Beauty Therapy by work­ ing at Genesis Hair and Beau­ ty, in Wellgate. She received the Outstanding Achieve­ ment Award and the Princi­ pal’s Award for Outstanding Achievement. In both years, Rosemina


was singled out for being an outstanding student. Her work ethic, dedication, her 100% attendance, and her will­ ingness to help other students on the course was observed by all her tutors. Rosemina (20) was “speechless” after receiving


both awards, but having com­ posed herself she comment­ ed: “It’s absolutely amazing. Blackburn Collegehasbeenso brilliant and so supportive. It’s been such a great atmosphere to learn in, it was fantastic.” Salon owner Katie Blake


was so imp re ssed with Rosemina during her work ex­ perience that she offered her a


jobatGenesisHairandBeauty. “She’s been fantastic and


nothing is too much trouble,” said Katie. • “She’s self-motivated and very switched on and she’sjust brilliant. We have really high standards here and Rosemi­ na has got to know the clients, and she’s always very profes­ sional.”

jects, 100% success in more than 100 vocational subjects, and an apprenticeship pass rate 16% above the national average. Dr Thomas Moore, prin­


cipal and CEO at the college, said credit should go to all the hardworking students, along with the dedicated staff at the college. “I would personally like to


congratulate all our students and thank the staff here for theirdedication,commitment and professionalism in help­ ing our students realise their full potential,” he said.
