HUNDREDS of schoolchildren said farewell to one of their most beloved teachers at the end of term. At a special Christ­


mas mass, pupils at St Augustine’s RC High School said goodbye to Mrs Roseline Holgate. Colleagues presented her with a spread of red roses to show their appreciation of her many years of hard


work. Mrs Holgate, who has


lived in Langshaw Drive, Clitheroe, since she was married 33 years ago, first taught at the school in 1963, the year it opened. She left just one year later to raise her family, but returned in 1973 to teach for an unbroken period of 23;years. She will be remembered

FOLLOWING all that food and drink during the festive season, and lazing about in front


of the fire, now is the time to get out and


about and do some exercise. Each week in “What’s On” we feature the activities of the Clitheroe Ramblers’ Association, the Rail Ram­


blers, the Lancashire Countryside Events and NE Lancashire Ramblers’Association. Clitheroe Ramblers meet several times a week for


walks of varying length, depending on which day you choose to go. Evening walks are four to six miles, Tuesday walks seven to eight miles and all others are


their walks from various stations in the Ribble Val­ ley. On Saturdays, there is usually a choice of guided walks, while on Tuesdays all walks start from outside Clitheroe Railway Station. The walks are timed to start after the arrival of the 8-20 a.m. or 9-13 a.m. train from Manchester Victoria. The walks do not start until the arrival of the train at Clitheroe._„u Beacon Fell Country Park is a popular venue for


10 miles. Rail Ramblers are a different group who start
