The Commitee

077900-26343 For over 10 years I have supported the Ribble Valley Ladies, (now Ribble Valley & White Rose Ladies), and was always very impressed with their most professional and effective approach to fundraising. I was hugely surprised and honoured when in October 2009 I was invited by the RVWRL to take on the role of Chairman. Now I feel immensely privileged to be working with the tirelessly hardworking and selfless ladies of the committee and am gaining enormous pleasure in pursuing our fundraising goals together. I am also immensely thankful to the many other people who have generously supported us over the years and continue their dedicated efforts to raise funds for desperately needed research. I am constantly moved by the enormous efforts of all who contribute to fighting cancer.

Yvonne Cannings 07980-576579 I was invited to my first lunch at Stirk House way back in the year 2000 and thoroughly enjoyed it - what a great way to raise money. Some time later I was delighted to be asked to join the committee and the rest as they say is history. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of the team and although it is incredibly hard work we also have lots of fun too. We have now raised a phenomenal sum of money and every penny is put to good use. On a personal note I am a full time working Mum as are all the committee members. I have 3 boys, Ben who would now be 25 years old tragically died from Hodgkins Disease in July of 1999 aged just 15 years, Lee at 22 who is a member of the Armed Forces and has just become a Dad. He has named his little boy after Ben his brother which brought both happiness and sadness at the same time and Sam aged 18 who is currently allegedly studying for A levels. Sam has become a volunteer speaker for Cancer Research UK.

Connie Moore 07714-958288 I have been a member of the Luncheon Club since its inception in 2000 and have seen it grow over the years. I became a committee member in 2009 and my main roll seems to be that of ‘artistic director’ Along side the other dedicated committee members we help to raise these valuable much needed funds giving us all a tremendous sense of pride in our efforts. My grandchildren have grown to adulthood during this time and are now helping me and my daughters-in-law Janet and Carole in our ongoing endeavours – We need the young ones!!
