the reserves built up by that date, the governors have made the following KXTRA allocations over and above those which the cou n ty council re com ­ mended: £7,000 EX TRA on books, stationery and equipment for teaching purposes; some £ 1 0 ,0 0 0 E X T R A on fu rn i tu r e , painting and decorating, shelving, curtains etc. — areas in which we were starved by the REA in the past; EX TRA staffing in respect of teaching, nur­ sery nurse, non-teaching and c le r ic a l a s s is ta n t , amounting to £0,500. In a d d i t io n Lo th i s


£2S,400 EXTRA expendi­ ture, we have continued to keep our overall staff-pupil ratio at the recommended f ig u re and to pay out incentive allowances above the recommended figure. N ex t y e a r , when, as


expected, our numbers on roll increase, we will need e x t ra s ta f f in g and will h a v e to dip in to ou r reserves to fund this. I’ru- (1 c ii t m a n a g e m e n t demands that wo do not, in a rush of blood, dispose of all our reserves, espe­ cially in a time of economic s t r in g e n c y , when cu t ­ backs' in general funding may occur next year. Finally, last Tuesday,


the governors appointed a new, e n th u s ia s t ic and dedicated headteacher, Mr Neil Trimmer, who will replace the present head t e a c h e r , M r F e t e r Spencer, who retires next


January. During his nine years as head, Mr Spencer has led the school in a lov­ ing and caring way and a lso h a s m an ag ed i t s finances in a magnificent manner. Our future under Mr Trimmer is assured, thanks to the foundations laid by Mr Spencer and his


staff. On the day of the inter­


views for headteacher, all six short-listed candidates


commented on the happy a tm o sp h e re c re a ted by headteacher and staff and on the excellent state of


classrooms and buildings. This could not have been said about the buildings when under the previous system of BEA funding. We in v i te any p ro s ­


pective parents or indeed any members of the gen­ eral public to conic into the school to look round and to talk to s ta f f and pupils at any time. Flense telephone the headmaster at the school (Clitheroe 2 3 5 9 9 ) to m a k e an appointment.

AS an ex-local government officer, I am writing i defence of Mr Spencer’s alleged reserve fund.


1. The money carried forward from last y e a r is


the surplus of 12 months’ estimates ot what it would cost to run bis school for the financial year ending


March 1992. 2. He does not have personal access to any reserve


bank account, all school bills being paid by the BCC Education Authority accounts department, having | been checked for approval by several persons.


3. Mr Spencer would have been in more trouble


had lie overspent by £51,000. 4. wily isn’L Mr Spencer running the Government |


Treasury? He would do a better job than Mr Bamont and his big spender at the Rank ol England!!


So carry on, Mr Spencer, with your “prudence and


efficiency." What this country needs is more people of bis calibre.

of the proceedings was submitted to the “Adver­ tise r and Times” by the then fixture s se c re ta ry . Two c r ic k e t comm itte e members, Neil Ashworth an d K e i th F a w c e t t , b e c am e aw a r e , o f th is report on the morning of September 8th. Both these off icials were keen th at no t i l in g c o n t r o v e r s ia l should be printed about the matter, as they felt it would bring the club into conflict with the league. 1 have been asked to


c la r i fy c e r ta in m a t te r s with your paper by the Ribblesdale Reague: 1. The club was wrong


to take the matter to the kancashire Cricket Asso­ ciation. Mr Ashworth had agreed with league offi­ cials prior to the appeal h ea r in g th a t no appeal would be made to th a t body. The le t te r sent by the chib’s fixtures secre­ ta ry to th e R an ca sh ire C r ick e t Association did not have the authorisation of the club’s cricket com­ m i t te e . T h e re fo r e , the statement' in your article th a t “C l i th e ro e c r ick e t chiefs have decided to take the matter to Rancashirc’s Cricket Association” was, through no fault of your own, inaccurate. 2. C l i th e ro e C r ic k e t


Club still believes that llir. maximum fine imposed upon us was worthy of appeal, but the use of the word “outrageous” by a Clitheroe official and the employment of an analogy lik en ing the p en alty to being imprisoned for park­ ing on yellow lines were gross exaggerations. The club broke the rules and was fined according to the


rule book. 3. There was an implica­


tion in a fu r th e r quote from a Clitheroe official that some league clubs had voted in their narrow self- interest when penalising Clithcroe, i.e. to further their own league rankings. Clitheroe cluG’s position on this is clear. Clubs send


representatives to league


management committee m e e t in g s to r e p r e s e n t their interests. Therefore, as a general principle, self- interest can be a signifi­ cant factor in making some decisions. Clitheroe club, however, has no know­ ledge of any o th e r club acting in its own narrow self-interest in the matter o f th e C l i th e ro e points deduction. I t should not

W e a r e t r y in g 1 F E E B 1 must reply to Mr Hutchinson of the Swim


and Royal Hotel. How wrong can one be a f te r going out of one’s


way to try and come to some sort of amicable deci­ sion over the Swan Courtyard. 1 pick up the paper this morning to read all about the goings on in the Swan Courtyard yet again. A meeting was arranged on August 17th, nt 12-30


p.m., at the Swan and Royal Hotel. Mr Hutchin­ son went on at great length about the clientele lie has in the Swan and Royal at the present time. At the moment, Mr Hutchinson stated that he is weeding out tiie undesirable elemenL and agrees that they have a problem and is trying hard to resolve it. However, lie says that lie cannot watch every­


body every minute and cannot stop them coming in and going out with glasses and bottles, however hard lie tries. Doormen are now employed, following an inci­ dent in the pub when Mr Hutchinson was attacked by a


youth. I must say that Mr Hutchinson is trying hard, yet


he does seem to get the blame lor every incident, which 1 do feel is unfair on him and the Swan and Royal Hotel. One of the main problems is that the Swan is used as a passing through pub from Bower- gate to the town centre and vice versa. Following my discussion with Mr Hutchinson, I


arranged a meeting with the Mayor and town council­ lors. We discussed at g rea t length every way we could assist Mr Hutchinson and it was agreed to meet again later this month witli the police, licensed victual­ lers, retailers and the letting agents. So, Mr Hutchinson, we are helping you, but you


are not helping us by turning to the Fress. I have bent over backwards to help you, yet while in hospital I read this article. I must tell everyone the truth and (


exactly what is going on. One other solution that is being investigated is the


possibility of closing off the Courtyard from Rowcrgate 1 to Castle Gate, but due to legal implications it is felt | that further information is required, particularly with regard to rights of way and access for emergency ser- I vices. The latter would require a nominated person to be responsible 24 hours a day, 3G5 days a year. So, you see, Mr Hutchinson, we are helping you.
