Macmillan Ladies’ Spring Lunch raises more than £6,000


Ribble Valley Macmillan Cancer Support “100 Club” mem­ bers held their Spring Lunch at Mitton Hall, with 105 mem­ bers and guests attending. After lunch, the guest speaker was Tony Ormiston, a re­ tired RSM in the Coldstream Guards and former Chief In­ spector of Police, who lives locally in Pendleton. His theme was “The Victoria Cross”, the Order of Chivalry initiatedby Queen Victoria in 1856. Tony impressed his audience with a wealth of background and facts, including that 1,363 VCs have been awarded to date and a VC has been won in every mqjor conflict since the Crimean War. It proved to bean awe-inspiring talk.


At the lunch, the committee received numerous donations totalling £4,600, with proceeds horn this lunch adding an­ other £1,600. Among the donations received was a cheque in the region of £1,500 from Mrs Margaret Blatchford, a committee member, who raised it through a sponsored one-mile swim on her 75th Birthday. In addition, a cheque from The Dog Inn, Clitheroe, was re­ ceived for nearly £700 raised from various events during the past year. The committee would like to thank all the members for their generous support and for the contin­ ued support o f local businesses and Ribble Valley residents generally.
