Course in first aid


HOW many times have you heard it said that most accidents occur in the home? With this thought in

Car boot theft


A JACK and wheelhrace were stolen from the boot of a Ford Fiesta parked at Wheelwright Close, Gisburn, last Thursday evening.


the floor covered subjects such as funding, finances, peripatetic teachers and staff morale, in a lively debate chaired by Mr James Parker, chairman of the governors. In answer to one query, the meeting heard that the majority of the staff were in favour of opting for grant-main­ tained status. Explaining that it was


parents, not staff, with whom any decision for change would rest, CRGS headmaster Mr Clive Dar- ley said that the governors “would be failing in their duty” if they did not allow parents to consider the option, while the “window of opportunity” remained open. The possible future via­


bility of the school was, he said, a question-mark wh ich n e ed ed to be a d d r e s s e d . “ I h av e sweated blood for this school for six years and I would not wish it to be other than it is — highly successful in educating your children,” he told parents. Afterwards he said that


both speakers "had endea­ voured to briefly set out their [joint of view on the advantages and disadvan­ tages of the grant-main­ tained option and then to receive questions from the floor, which they did their level best to answer. “ The questions were


lively, penetrating and considered — and c ivi­ lised,” he added. The next stage was for


the governors to “sit down to discuss, assimilate and, in due course, to decide whether to pursue this option or not. “Although I am talking ibout the g o v e rn o r s '


actions, the reality is that the decision is not one for the governors to make,” he stressed. “ But the governors can take an ini­ tiative on this matter.


“Ultimately it is, most


emphatically, the parents who make the decision — and the governors are acutely aware of this.”


Mr Parker said that the


g o v e rn o r s wou ld be reviewing the situation next Wednesday, in the light of any feedback from the meeting.

handed the newspaper to Mrs Bunn, Rory bit her on the thigh, causing her to bleed. M is s G r e e n h a lg h


reported the incident to the police. It was the second time that a bite had been recorded against the. dog this year. In mit igat ion , Bunn


(50), of Singleton Avenue, said th a t b e fo re h e acquired the dog, he had reinforced the fencing and put warning signs and a bell push on the gate. There was also a letter­ box on the external garage door, which prevented the need to enter the garden. Bunn added that his


wife told Miss Greenhalgh off for ignoring the notice and perhaps the dog rea­ lised she was annoyed. T h e m a g i s t r a t e s


o rd e red that the dog should be kept under proper control in future.

book about it,” she said, still affected by the poverty she saw. On his return to England for a period, David was


married a second time, to Beverley, then working as a nurse at the Westminster Hospital. However, he found his three years behind a desk in London were boring and he longed to be posted abroad again. In March his wish came true. He was posted to


Baghdad, with Beverley joining him a month later. She did not like the country at all at first because of


the “culture shock” and because it was the first time she had lived abroad, but Iraq and its friendly people grew on her and she was beginning to enjoy living there when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. One of the attractions of David’s post in Iraq was


that home leave in England was due at six-monthly intervals, said his mother. He was, in fact, due to come home on August 18th. But at least he managed to get Beverley and their


son Gregory out with 25 others, all wives and depen­ dants of diplomats from the embassies at Kuwait and Baghdad. He told his mother in one of their telephone calls


that the convoy had, in fact, been stopped once and a nasty moment was averted when one of the Embassy officials, who could speak the language, intervened. It was a gruelling time for everyone concerned, the convoy setting off at 1-30 a.m. and taking over 20 hours to reach the border, travelling in temperatures of up to 120 degrees, with the air conditioning switched off to conserve power. Fuel had to be carried in jerry cans because of the


lack of fuel en route. Then the party was kept waiting in the sun for a further eight hours, before being taken to Amman and, a day later, flown home by Royal Jordanian Airlines. When the party reached Heathrow, Beverley was met by her mother and sister and whisked away to her Hertford home. “Gregory was fine, even though we were cooped up


in a ear for the best part of 30 hours,” Beverley said this week. “ I was just getting to enjoy living there when we came out. “ The odd thing is that life seems quite normal


there. Of course there is a lot of tension, but the peo­ ple are very friendly. “ Now we’ ll just have to wait and see what will


happen. I ’ve no idea when David will be able to come home.”

ALTHOUGH West Bradford


took the lead on three occasions in this match, they could not hold on to win against a spirited Bradley side. West Bradford’s first goal


came when Punchynrd’s corner was palmed out by the ’keeper only lor Bartlett to slam the hall into the goal. Bradley equalised following a mix-up between Bradshaw and Parkmgtnn. hut then hit hack when Parsons scored after connecting with a per fectly-flighted Ratcliffe ere >ss.

( 12) came to the crease, hut th e i r kn o ck s w e r e not impressive and the slump con­ tinued. Lawlev. Green and See­ ley were all dismissed for poor scores and when Harness came into the fray the side were in real trouble. Harness was in top form and


hit 33 badly-needed runs to leave the filial score at 100 all out.


Each member of the three-


strong Ciiatburn attack placed well, with Jones laking five wickets and Haighton securing three. Chatlmrn’s reply was a little


erratic and their failure to settle proved costly. With only Craig (17) and Barker (44) hitting any runs, the side struggled, even­ tually falling seven rims short. Barker's innings included half a dozen sixes. Had the rest of the team been in the same frame of mind then tlie side could well have taken the match. Ingrow St John's: 1IH) ail out. Bowling: P.

A SUPERB team performance gave De Lacy an outstanding


win against last season's league runners-up and cup winners. Two goals within the first 15


minutes meant tin* Whalley team could settle quickly anil play some neat constructive football, which their opponents were unable to match. 'File first goal was a fierce


shot from 12 yards by Tony Cross and Eric Moore scored the second a fter being put through by Tony Joyce. 'File third goal came from an lau Lang penalty after Dave Car­ ney's shot was handled on the line. A header from Andy Holden produced another goal and then


some neat interplay between Lang and Alan Richards enabled Carney to collect and score with wise. At til is s ta g e , De Laev


relaxed, letting Lammack (k ic k into the match and (hev grabbed two quirk goals. However, another successful


Lang penalty made tin* result safe and the De Lacy finished with a fine victory.

Not troubled Whalley I. Sabden0


MATCHES between these two sides in the East Lancashire League are sometimes hard- fought close affair’s. However, this match was far


from close, with Whalley in con­ trol for most of the ‘.mi minutes. 'Fhe early exchanges were fairlv even, but Whalley slowly took over and it came as no surprise when they went into the lead, when Bury crossed for Smith to head in. Five minutes later. Smith


made it 2-0 when he headed home a well directed cornel’. After this goal. Sabden came


back into the mutch, but could find no way through the Whal­ ley defence. The second half started in


similar fashion, but Subden seemed to lose heart and Bury put Whalley 3-0 up when he held off two challenges to score from close range. 'Fhe same player did tlie


damage again after 7d minutes with a fine goal that .sealed a worthy Whalley win. On‘Saturday Whalley 1st XI


visit league champions KoxhiN, while the 2nd XI visit Nelson Grammar School Old Boys.
