takinga feasibility study on the community centre project. Mr Cowling has been commis­

sioned to carry out the study by the Community Council of Lan­ cashire. He was impressed with the progress made so far, in par­ ticular by the survey carried out around the village, which revealed that more than 80% of


the residents were in favour of the centre, and their suggestions for health, educational and social uses the centre could be put to. The project also has the back­

ing of Ribble Valley's MP, Mr Nigel Evans, Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council, Wiswell Parish Council and the headmaster of Barrow Primary School.


Mr Cowling will be reporting


back to the committee at regular intervals on the progress made. I t has been proposed th a t a public meeting should be held

sang carols. Year 2 opted for an American theme and performed a cheer-leading dis­ play and line-dancing. Year 3 took their audience to the North


Pole, while Year 4 (pictured) visited China, with Year 5 settling on Ireland to perform their own version of "Riverdance". Youngsters from Year 6 narrated the

days, with one of these nights becoming a singles' party. In addition, for 100 or more guests, i t may be hired out for birthdays, weddings and other cele­ brations. The Cromptons, includ­
