If ‘Garry ID’ message over alcohol j f .o j j 7m


Drinkers who are over 18 but lookunder25 arebeingurged


' to carry ID inanew campaign across Lancashire. Trading Standards and


police officers working on Lancashire’s Community Al­ cohol Network have visited hundreds of licensed premis­ es to assess how each checks a’ young person’s age. They found most smaller independently-owned busi­


nesses had inadequate “due diligence” systems in place, meaning that staff could in­ advertently break the law by selling alcohol to people un­ derage. . Assistant Chief Constable


: Mark Bates said: “This is a re­ ally positive scheme and we will be working closely with our partners, including li­ censees, to make Lancashire a Check 25 county’”


. The Check 25 scheme


suggests accepting the new national PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme) approved card, passports and driving licences as acceptable forms ofID.


This will be highlighted on


posters and other publicity materials. Retailerswillbesupported


to keep records on how Check 25 is working.


Gordon Yates, an honorary member of Clitheroe Natu­ ralists, presented his 40th lecture to the group, demon­ strating his love of wildlife and, in particular, birds of the Northern hemisphere. He presented a compen­


dium of pictures from many parts o f northern Europe - Iceland, north-east Green­ land, Alaska and Spitzbergen. AVcomplete contrast


were ones from a visit to the Seychelles. He gave details of lots of.,


rare sightings, which took many hours of patient waiting


and sometimes an extra visit. Iceland was special with


its waterfalls and volcanic hot- water pools, and birds record­ ed included Slavonian grebe, northern golden plover and red-throated diver. On a Greenland visit, Mr


Yates had faced an angry musk ox bull as he sought birds to


photograph, including the rare sanderling and the turn- stone. Polar bears were a dan- geronhisvisit to Spitzbergen, where the aggressive glaucous gulls were a menace. The next lecture is tonight


(Thursday), at the St Mary’s Centre at 7-30 pm when Steve Halliwell will be “Wild About Dorset.”

Sara displays her passion for flowers


• Clitheroe Lady Farmers met atBoltori-by-BowlandVil- lageHall for a business meet­ ing and a flower arranging demonstration by Sara Bar- row. Sara, a gold award whi­ ner at Chelsea Flower Show, explained how, after having her own shop in Clitheroe,' she had discovered a passion


-forflowers. She made sev­ eral arrangements, includ­ ing a hand-tied bouquet, an arrangementin a vase made from a magazine and her “Marmite” piece that people would either love or hate.


How Yprcs arose Disasters and the from the rubble myths about them


Denise North’s presentation on “The Rebuilding of Ypres”


to Clitheroe Civic Society .


- showed how the Belgian town,totally flattened dur- mg the First World War, was rebuilt. After the war, locals were determined to rebuild


- their town exactly as it had been. Restoration architect Jules Coomans had the plans oftheoriginalbuildings and workers, desperate for a job,.


flocked to Ypres, which rose from the rubble tobecome


thebeautifultownitisto- day.


Guest speaker Dr Robin Mcllveen dispelled myths behind “Greatest Scientific Disasters” for members of Clitheroe and District Pro­ bus Club. Quoting examples including themythofthe “unsinkable” Titanic and the Windscale nuclear plant fire, he analysed the often minor lapses of procedure, examined the occasional ma­


jor design faults and demon­ strated just how close to “no disaster” the situation had in fact been. He was thanked by Dennis Ogden.
