Rosie told of ‘copters to cakes’ switch


‘Cakes and Copters' was the intriguing title of this month’s talk to members of Clitheroe’s University of the Third Age. ' ItwasgivenbyCaptainRo-


sie Dummer, who was the first woman pilot to fly the Lynx helicopter. Rosie outlined her career in the army. After graduating from Sandhurst and serving a term in North­ ern Ireland she trained as an army aviator. Photographs were shown


of her standing on top of a Chipmunk plane prior to wing walking. She explained that only half of the entrants complete the tough course but she gained her wings after nine months and progressed to flying the Lynx anti-tank helicopter. She was awarded runner-


up in Cosmopolitan’s Woman of the Year and at the cere­ mony enjoyed meeting other women who had achieved suc­ cess including the winner, Helen Sharman, Britain’s first astronaut and Rebecca


Stephens, the first woman to climb Everest. Having left the army to


raise her family Rosie em­ barked on a second career as a cake artist and was soon suc­ cessful in this venture, win­ ning ‘Wedding Cake o f the Year’ awarded by Cake Mas­ ter’s Magazine. A recent speciality has


been making life-size figures, two o f which have been fea­ tured in The Clitheroe Adver­ tiser, including a Guardsman in his red tunic which was eat­ en and enjoyed by soldiers in that regiment. Rosie explained the dif­


ficulties in making such a figure, which needs enough internal support to stand up­ right and to be transported to the venue. Asked about the transi­


tion from military life to cake making, Rosie explained that it took on a life of its own. Her enthusiasm and game-for-an- ything attitude shone through this enjoyable presentation.


‘Budget will help Ribble Valley folk’ says Evans


Ribble Valley’s Conservative MP NigelEvanshas welcomed the measures announced by the Chancellor, George Os­


borne, in his Budget state­ ment.


Speaking from Westmin­


ster the day after the budget, Mr Evans said: “This Govern­ ment inherited the largest peacetime deficit in our histo­ ry and an economy which had been broken, with high unem­ ployment and no growth. “The difficult decisions


takensince20ioarepayingoff and Britain now has the fast-


estgrowingmajoreconomyin the world.


In the Budget yesterday It’s slutch good fun for mud-larkers


Whalley Physiotherapy and Sports Iqjury Clinic is is years oldthisyear and to cel­ ebrate they decided to challenge staff and patients to complete 15 active challenges. The first completed challenge was a Mother’s Day Muddy Trail run atBramham Park Estate Leeds. The staff team consisted of Jane Connolly, lead physio who owns the practice, practice manager Rebecca Marr and podiatrist Lindsey Young. They were joined by clients Sean Campbell, Cathy Garrett and Laura Royds, and friends and family Nick Marr and Helen Tumock. The Major Series is all about teamwork - it’snotjust a run - and it was was voted the UK’s “Best Trail Race”. The 10 - 12k course was littered with all kinds of obstacles, hills, mud and water. Rebecca said: “Whalley Physiotherapy are going to be challenging ourselves and our patients to walks, runs, swims and anything else that we can think of.”


the Chancellor announced another rise in the personal allowance, to £11,000, which amounts to a tax-cut for mil­ lions of people and must be welcomed. Pensioners have also been helped by allowing them to turn annuities into lumpsums. “The Chancellor also an­


nounced thatBeerDutywill be cut by ip, another great boost for the beer and pub industry. This is a Budget that will help people in the Ribble Valley.”
