Pupils' game wins prize for enterprise


A n d there is chance th a t firm w ill m anufacture it


A BRILLIANTLY-CONCEIVED and slickly-


executed board game concept made Ribblesdale High School this year's local "Young Enterprise" winners. Now the game may be licensed by a


major manufacturer. No one had ever thought of making a traditional style board game featuring the


Kibble Valley before. But the school's "Paragon" com­ pany did, reflecting part of its theme in the title, "Witchways." Not only that, the com­

orders. At the finals of the Hynd-


burn and Kibble Valley Area Board Young Enter­ prise competition last night week, Kibblesdale received the Heather Horn Memori­ al Trophy presented by Jonas Stroud Insulations. The CKGS company "Kefloct" came second, giv­ ing the school the trophy awarded by Schlumbergor


Metflex. The Kibblesdale compa­


ny chairman, Kachol Lan- don, received the cup from BBC sports presenter Peter Stevenson, a former mem­ ber of the Clithcroe Adver­


tiser and Times staff. He was chief guest at tlie event, which was held at


and sponsored by the Myt ton Fold Farm Hotel, Lang-


ho. The chairman was Mr


Trevor Roberts and deputy chairman Mrs Ailoon Evans' introduced the companies and welcomed the guests. Ribblesdale had already


won the prizes for best interim presentation, best marketing report, best export achievement, best written report, and most innovative design. This gave tlie board game


team a head start, though on the night CRGS added the award for best final dis­ play presentation to its pre­


viously won prize for best European language presen­ tation and the promotional-


media award. St Christopher's High


School, Accrington, won the prizes for best final presen­ tation and best press adver­ tisement, and Rhyddings. Accrington, tor the best business plan. Broadfield School, Oswaldtwistlo, were


team award winners. Jonathan Hoyle from .


Hollins High School, Accrington, was the best achiever and Saffida Akhtar of Rhyddings the founders award winner. Right from the start of


the contest, Ribblesdale's 24-pupil company pushed

600 per cent dividend. A school spokesman said


that the support of parents and members of last year's team was much appreciated on the night. No more games will be made by Rib­ blesdale, so the ones that are in circulation will acquire a rarity value. They

ley Borough Council Plan­ ning and Development Committee heard that the applicant sought to build a two-storey, four-bed- roomed property, with integral garage, to the north of Townley House, in Main Street. Listed building consent was also


requested to demolish, re­ align and rebuild a garden wall to create a public footpath on the west side on land adjacent to the


property. Grindleton Parish Coun­


cil said it had no objections to the erection of the house and garage, but it did object to the demolition of the garden wall, as it did not wish to "see a change in the village where there are many road sections without public footpaths." Another public footpath is already located on the otlior side of


Main Street. Comments received from

was also felt that "there may be archeological remains behind the retain ing wall and recommend that the SMR be consulted to determine whether a watching brief would be appropriate if the council is minded to approve." Coun­ ty archeologists also recom­ mended that the applicant, executors for Mr FI. Taylor (deceased) and Mrs J. Wilkinson, be required to "provide an archeological evaluation of the site prior to the determination of the application." Five letters of objection


were also received by plan­ ning officers from local resi­ dents expressing concern over access and potential


highway dangers, the high­ er roof lino which the prop­ erty would have, the demo­ lition of the garden wall and licdge, which would detract from the overall appearance of Townley House, and the possible relocations of a telephone box and bus stop. Borough councillors fol­


lowed senior planning offi­ cer Sarah Westwood's rec­ ommendation for refusal of the application on the grounds that "the dwelling is not on land which could be described as an infill plot, and is not of a design and materials in keeping with the character of the area in which it is set. In respect of the listed build­ ing application for the demolition of the wall, I consider that its relocation would detract from the prominence Townley House currently enjoys."

Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire, recognises new buildings as long as they contribute to a rurally-based business. It is open to all those who farm or earn their living from


the countryside. Organiser Mr Antony Haslam com­


mented: "Tlie judges will cover many hun­ dreds of miles over the coming weeks, but all those wlio have taken the time to enter will receive a visit. We have received some excellent entries and tlie judges are looking forward to seeing them."


All-night drinking for Millennium


“DRINK and be merry” is the message from Lancashire Constabulaiy as far as


Millennium night celebrations go. Plans to allow all-night drinking in pubs


and clubs over the New Year period have been given con.stabulary support. Said a police spokesman: "We were fully


consulted before the decision was taken and we broadly welcome the plan because we recognise that most licensees act very responsibly. Our main concern is public safety and our hope is for everyone to enjoy tlieir Now Year celebrations in a safe and
