CASH BOOST FOR SOCCER LIGHTS

Comedy with a


message A STORY with a poignant underlying message — that’s Willy Russell’s play, “Our Day Out,” the latest offering from the talented pupils at Ribbiesdale School, Clitheroe. The play, set to music


by the school, is about a class of children not of the brightest academic ability, from a comprehensive in Liverpool, and their antics when taken on a day trip to Conway Castle. It shows the children’s


escapades while visiting the castle, a zoo and a fair­ ground, but the underly­ ing message asks what the world offers children with special needs once they leave the safety of the school environment. The production, being
