centre of excellence. At the school’s annual


speech night, headmaster Mr Stuart Holt referred to a multitude o f a chiev e­ ments in every dep a r t­ ment, topped by excellent examination results. F o l l o w i n g G C S E


re su l ts , the school was placed 17th out of the top 150 schools in the country in a national newspaper r e p o r t and i t was Mr Holt’s belief that, if the A- love l re su l t s had been c om b in ed , th e s ch o o l would have achieved an even higher position. M r H o l t to ld th e


audience that the standard of GCSE was increasingly coming under the sp o t­ light, but he felt it was important to realise that the sixth form students whose re su lts had been remarkable were the same students who took GCSEs when th ey we re in the fifth year and at that time tlie view was that GGSE was a bad preparation for A-level. The school had organ­


ised i ts own e n t r a n c e examination and had to administer a capital grant of £145,000 and a mainte­ nance grant of £2.3m. Out of 3*15 11-year-old young­ sters who sat the entrance ex am in a tion, 121 were awarded places. Only 10% of all grant


maintained schools were given capital grants and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School was fortunate in being one of those. The £145,000 grant was made by th e D ep a r tm e n t of Education for the replace­ ment of windows at Chat- burn Road. As a result of prudent


budgeting, two new tem­ p orary clas s ro om s had b e en b o u g h t and th e school intends to bid for a capital grant for a new sci- e n c e b l o c k o f s i x laboratories.


Mr Holt said that in the


first year of grant main­ tained status, much of his time had been taken up with financial matters, but he had endeavoured to encourage staff and pupils to develop a number of new ventures.


Included in those was


th e school n ew sp ap e r , “Royal Blazer,” which was produced in conjunction with the “Advertiser and Times” and had achieved such' qu a l ity th a t “The Daily Telegraph” classified it as too professional to qualify for an award in their annual school news­ paper competition.

which has been developed especially for fly tyers. Its main use is for dubbing in the place of seal’s fur as straight fibres from the hank; it has a wide range of applications, from bodies of fry patterns to tails, wings and hackles of salmon streamer, wet or nymph


fly patterns. ' Natural seal’s fur was carefully analysed and found


to have these characteristics. It consists of a subtle blend of the long translucent guard hairs and two


lengths of soft under fur. The guard hairs of natural seal’s fur gave the


material the lustre and translucency which.is ideal to give life to the artificial fly. The soit under fur gave body to the material and also gave it the handle which makes it relatively easy to use. Another good point was its capability of being dyed

Campaign for safety


in roofwork A C L IT H E R O E co u r t cose involving a man who fell through a roof while carrying out repairs is one of two cited in the results of a roofwork safety cam­ paign conducted in Lanca­ shire and Cumbria. The Health and Safety


Executive inspection blitz revealed that bad safety p ra c t ic e in th e roof ing industry was deep-rooted across the country. In th e N o r th W e s t


in sp e c to r s v is i ted 207 sites, issued 46 prohibition notices and re ce ived 20 c om p la in t s and e ig h t reports of accidents con­ cerning'roofwork. As a result of the cam­

to most colour shades, retaining the colours and translucency when wet. It lias taken about IS months to source the synthetic fibres and then experiment with fibre lengths and thicknesses to produce a material that could he blended to give good translu­ cency and is very easy to handle when dubbing. The quality of S L F is that it is Br itish , it is


translucent, il handles well, it has good body, it is consistent — which means that because it is a con­ trolled man-made material, S L F does not vary from hatch to batcli — and. above all, it can be dyed to exact shinies again and again. The versatility of S L F is excellent, although it was


developed primarily as a material for dubbing. It lias excellent fly tying applications in hank (fibre) form for wings, tails and hackles of various types of flies. Davy Wooton, at Partridge Hooks, of Red- ditch, has created a range of fry patterns using S L F


fibres as the body. It is possible, using combinations of the 4S differ­


ent shades' of Lhe S L F , th a t almost any special shade can be produced by you, the fly tyer. Among the 4S shades are some bright and flashy colours for salmon and rainbow trout lure patterns and there- a re also five f lu o re s c en t colours for a t t r a c to r


patterns. Synthetic living fibre is an excellent material lot-


use in salmon and sea trout flies for tails, wings and hackies. Contrasting colour bands may be tied for light or heavy wing proportions and for hack­ les and the material is also good for tails and wings of nymph, dry or wet fly patterns. For further information contact your local tackle


dealer or write to Alan Bramley, at Partridge of Redditch, Mount Pleasant, B97 4.1 E. Once again, anglers are leading the way in looking for alterna-. live materials to take the place of the real tiling, so


saving animal species.


What’s cooking at the library


TWO dates for the diary at Clitlieroe Library are an exhibition of baskets and hats and an evening of


European cuisine. The exhibition of baskets and bats, which is on


at the moment, features gilts made from nylon by Mrs Mary Heaton, of Cowper Avenue, Clitheroe. It will continue until the end of November.


The evening of European cookery will include a


demonstration by Mr John Wright, with a chance to taste the food when cooked and wash it down with a


glass of wine. Tickets for the evening on October 19th, starting


at 7-80 p.m., are available at the library, price £3. . . . .
