Cultural • Walking • Cycling • Photographic • W ildlife • Family Holidays A trip down Memory Lane for castle visitors


A new and inspiring way of refreshing memories of the past was experienced at Ciltheroe Castle Museum. Families and staff from the Ribble Valley branch of Crossroads Care enjoyed looking together at memorabilia from years ago which helped to provoke wonderful memories and stimulate fascinating conversation of everyday life in years gone by. This inspiring visit is part of the “Memory Lane Project”, which is an ongoing programme to stimulate and interest those suffer­ ing from dementia and is run by Crossroads Care Ribble Valley. Anyone interested in more information should contact 01200 422104 or visit www.crossroadscareribblevalley.co.uk for more information about the Crossroads charity and its work.

A keen racing enthusiast, Fildes, who lives in Pendle­ ton, near Clitheroe, said: “I am passionate about the success of Haydock Park, its status in the local community arid in British horse racing. My in­ volvement with the course goes right back to my student days as a young race goer.” Fildes, who has been a


racecourse committee direc- toratHaydocksince20i3,add­ ed: “I have very fond memories of seeing Forgive ‘N Forget winning the Tommy Whittle Chase almost 30 years ago, and that was a special day. I’m thrilled to be involved at Hay­


dock.” Lord Daresbury, Chairman


of Haydock Park Racecourse, said: “Jason has a thorough knowledge and passion for racing and is very well con­ nected in the business com­ munity. “I think he will make a fan­


tastic contribution to the fu­ ture of Haydock Park.” . Fildes, who founded the


Barden Mill Company in 1993 as a textiles company and, as managing director, built it in­ to a retail venue with an annu­ al turnover of £3.5 million and more than 300,000 visitors a year, succeeds Garry Fortune in the general manager role.

“STRAY DOGS COULD fell victim to a trial dog warden service which now seems certain to


be introduced in the Ribble Valley. After long deliberations, Ribble Valley councillors have agreed


to recommend the provision of a dog warden fora six-month trial. Now the recommendation made by thecouncil's Public Works and Health Committee will go the council's Policy and Resource Committee for approval. Councillors queried whether onedog warden would be sufficient to cover 220 square miles-one of the largest rural areas in the county. They were reminded by the environmental health officer that it would soon become the duty of local authorities to clean up dog faeces." '
