Dynamic duo plan theatre company
TALENT, enthusiasm and dedication — those are qualities positively overflowing in two young Ribble Valley actresses determined to bring drama to a wider audience. Diane Scott (18), of
Siddows Avenue Clitheroe, and Janet Bamford (17), of Rib ble Lane, Chatburn, along wi th three friends, are currently involved in the compli cated business of set t ing up a the at re company.
The dynamic group hopes
to capture the attention and su p p or t of local schools — both junior and senior — youth clubs and any other young people’s organisations.
Packed with b r ig h t
ideas and a sharp aware ness of what many young people are missing out on, the enterprising young adults want to offer not only to teach drama and hold workshops but to use their skills educationally.
“We would like to use
acting to put messages across in a way youngsters can understand easily — don’t talk to strangers, that kind of thing,” said
Ja n e t . “ I f we make it exciting and interesting enough they will learn without realising it and enjoy themselves at the same time.”
Diane and Janet have
just completed a two-year theatre-in-performance course at Accrington and Rossendale College, as have their new partners Joanne Topping (18), of Baxenden, and Michelle Arthur (21), of Oswaid- twistle. The group’s male contingent is Colin Brewer (21), who has finished a three-year theatre school course in Manchester and is. to live in Accrington, where the company will be based.
“The college has kindly
allowed us to carry on using its fa c i lit ie s for rehearsals,” said Janet. “We’re letting schools and so on know what we have to offer, and all we need now is a chance to prove ourselves.”

Royal treat for civic party
WEATHER which resem bled a monsoon could not dampen the enthusiasm of a Ribble Valley delegation to London last week for a tw o - d a y v i s i t to remember.
Rubbing shoulders with
the Royal family were Coun. and Mrs Les and Eileen Nevett, the Mayor and Mayoress of the Rib ble Valley, and Coun. Bill B o w k e r a n d w i f e Rosemary.

An eye for the birds
WHEN it comes to birds — the feathered variety — Sabden pigeon fancier Mr Colin Cooke is following in his late father’s footsteps as a well-known judge. Mr C o o k e , o f The
Fields, is chairman of the Ribble Valley Poultry Society and keeps about 40 pigeons, enjoying a spot of racing now and then.
COME on, you “nothing to do” crowd, make use of what you have!
The mobile youth van is stationed at Booths every
Wednesday night for you to drop in for coffee or a chat. Your initial keenness seemed to prove that really was what you wanted — somewhere casual,- nothing organised.
But since Easter, attendances have fallen and
you’re now in serious danger of losing the van alto gether in a September/October reassessment. So please — either show it the support it deserves or make up your minds what you do want.
Sabderi’s proposed youth club is off to a flying start
thanks to plentiful amounts of the most important ingredient of all — enthusiasm from the youngsters themselves.
About 18 teenagers turned up at the mobile youth B u t th i s week his
judge’s eye is being put to the test at not one but two sh ows, one of which includes entries from all over the North West. Although Mr Cooke has
judged at many shows before, Tuesday’s pigeon section at the Royal Lan cashire Show at Aintree and next Sunday’s poultry and eggs section at Gar- stang Show are both firsts for him. Mr Cooke’s father himself judged the Royal Show for several years.

Actually, of course, the
village had its grammar school long before the
present building of 1725; it was first conducted in a
chapel over the West Gate of the Abbey when it received its first charter, but had been in operation there since the early days of the 14th century, when the monks of Whalley p lay ed th e ro le s of pedagogues. Early in the 18th cen tury this building proved

ous of our local vicars sup plemented their stipend by also acting as headmaster of the school and, in 1737, Thomas Armitstead, Vicar of Mitton, fulfilled the dual role. Despite its compara
tively small size and rural isolation, the school pro duced some distinguished scholars; Dean Nowell of Westminster (a member of the Nowell family of Read) provided five marks apiece for 13 scholars at Brazen- ose College, Oxford; a benefaction shared by the grammar schools at Burn ley and Middleton. Dr Woulton, Bishop of
Exeter in 1579Jearned his Greek and Latin at the lit tle school under the Nab. As recently as 1846 (oh
yes, 140 years is not very long from the historian’s point of view) William Heap, of Padiham, an engineer who worked with Robert Stephenson on the building of the Menai and Conway B r id g e s , was another of Whalley Gram mar School’s old boys. Doub tless ,-w ere the
records more complete, we would be able to list many more distinguished alumni of the little school first established over 600 years ago.
