Day in the Dales for naturalists


A DAY on the eastern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales was enjoyed by 32 members of Clitheroe Naturalists. Their walk started in


the village of Sawley, near Ripon, and took them to Lacon Hall, named after the Royalist family who settled there in the 17th Century, and Lacon Cross, which is on the route used by the monks of Fountains Abbey. The walk continued on


to the lake at Picking Gill and crossed the old bridge, which is completely over­ grown with turf and bracken. Following the path through the wood and making their way along a forest road brought the walkers to a small lake at Pickerstones, where bird nesting boxes and observation hides


were situated. The walk then continued on to Eavestone Lake. During the walk, several


species of butterfly and damsel flies were sighted, including small heath, large skipper and meadow brown. Sixty-five flowers were spot­ ted, including germander, speedwell, meadowsweet, valerian, honeysuckle and marsh cinquefoil. Crossbills, jay, gooseanders and many young families of water- fowl, plus a pheasant with six eggs, were among the 25 birds seen. The circular walk ended


in Sawley, whore the walk­ ers had time to see the Saw­ ley Scarecrows on display. Walk loaders were Mrs B.


Wilkinson and Mrs D Logan and a vote of thanks was proposed by Mr B.


Jones. The next outing is to


Turton and Tintwistlc on July 10th. To book please telephone 01200 48117.

problem you would expect to find in an inner city, not in the tourism-conscious Ribble Valley," said an angry resident. "It could attract vermin. It has gone on for years and it is time something was done


about it." Recent rubbish around

crisis! iB


THE Ribble Valleyls secondary school admis­ sions crisis is in the process of being resolve . ^


It was reported to the


District Liaison Educa­ tion Committee that the


crisis, which had left many pupils heartbro­ ken over their secondary school places, was being resolved by the creation of extra places at Rib- blesdale High School, in Clitheroe, and Rowland High School, Grindleton. After the meeting, Mr


Paul Balnbridge, area pupils services officer for the Lancashire Education Authority, told the Adver-; tiser and Times that his ' department was in the process of contacting par-


secondary school. He added that the LEA


was likely to make a public statement next week about the progress made over the


matter. The meeting heard that


the crisis had mainly affect­ ed children living on the southern fringe of the Rib­ ble Valley, who wanted to attend Ribblesale but had been allocated places at an Accrington school two bus journeys away. Mr Bainbridge reported


that out of 34 appeals, 16 had been successful, and efforts were now being made to resolve the matter with the remaining parents. He explained that the


TFIAT rare British phenomenon - a sunnjj day - brought the I crowds flocking to Gis- burn County Primary School's fun day. Over 200 fun seekers j


Ribblesdale admissions had been increased from 203 to 240 to cater for increased


demand. The figure was increased again to 256, fol­ lowing the successful appeals, but since then it had been increased to 263. The admissions figure at


Bowland County High School had also been increased from 60 to 93, but only 84 places had been taken up, following the results of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School's entrance exam, and these unfilled places were also available. He added that only three


pupils remained unplaced, but he understood that they had since decided to take up places elsewhere or in the

was high-lighted in this paper two weeks ago, has told the Advertiser and Times that despite her child having now been offered a place at Bowland County High School, she would not take it, as she felt Ribbles­ dale High School, her first choice, would be more suit­ able to deal with her child's educational needs.


h in this -Speaking at the meeting,


deputy chairman Coun. Cyril Law (Read) said that he was pleased to learn that the matter was being resolved successfully. But Mr Bainbridge


replied that many of the parents would not see it that way and were still dis­ satisfied over the distress caused by having to go to


appeal.

' explains the policy


Im EMBERS of the public will be allowed to have itheir say in the Ribble Valley Council Chamber this month on the secondary schools admissions


policy. Mr Ken Wales, Lancashire County Council's


dead of Pupil Services, will attend a meeting of the )orough council to explain the policy on July 13th. Members of the public will be intdted to contribute 0 the debate by taking part in the council's public par-


icipation session. 1 The 30-minute session, at the start of the council meet- ig, allows the public to ask questions or make comments


i the council. 1 Questions must be submitted to chief executive Mr iavid Morris in writing before noon on Monday, July


1th. Council leader Coun. Peter Redpath said; "At the coun-


cmeeting on April 20th a motion was passed urging Lan- clhire County Council to re-assess the long-term needs of Ibblo Valley primary school pupils for secondary school


pices within the Ribble Valley. jThis resulted from major concerns at the shortage of


pbes available this year, which the appeal procedure now aiiears to have alleviated. This debate will hopefully clar-


ifihe policy for the future."
