Cuts in swimming lessons causes


concern at school LIFE is not going swimmingly at a school in Sab


den. Plans to halve the num­


ber of swimming lessons given to primary pupils is causing great concern at St Mary's RC Primary


School. In the past, the cost of


lessons and transport to pools has been covered by Lancashire County Coun­ cil, but now the Depart­ ment for Education and Employment has told Local Education Authoritires to devolve more money to schools and this year that amount will include the cash that covers school swimming. However, as the money


will now be distributed according to the number of Year Six pupils, small schools believe they will lose out. Headteacher Mrs Tina


Bradley says the worst case scenario for pupils at her school could be that swim­ ming is taken off the timetable altogether, and that would mean the whole National Curriculum would not be fulfilled. All 35 pupils at the Pen-


dle Street East school go swimming for an hour each


week, but from September Mrs Bradley says there will not even be enough money to cover the cost for half a


term. Now she is looking at the


possibility of going for one term instead of three and for half an hour instead of an hour, and even then the school would have to ask for contributions from parents. Mrs Bradley is also liold-


ing talks with other small schools, who are suffering similar problems, to find ways of resolving the issue. A statement from Lan­


cashire County Council said: "The review of the school swimming service has been prompted by the Government decision to devolve funding for swim­ ming down to individual schools, and recent county council budget decisions. "The review will have implications for both the


operation of county council owned swimming pools and employment in the service. Consultations are being held with staff and their union representatives. No final decisions have yet


been taken.” Ladies re-elected for new term


ALL the officials agreed to carry on so there were no new appointments at the annual general meeting of Innity Ladies' Afternoon Fellowship. It was decided to send a


cheque for £40 to the Rod Cross. Arrangements wore made and names taken for a trip to


the Quaker Tapestry Centre at Kendal in June. Afternoon tea was served by the tea hostesses, and meetings i esumc


in September. K »


Moving event as Victoria Cross is


handed over


ONE of the seven Vic­ toria Crosses won by


former pupils of Stony- hurst College has been presented to the college. A moving ceremony at a


college mass saw the covet­ ed award won by Capt. James Jackman given into the college's'keeping by members of the Green fami­ ly, to whom Capt. Jackman


was uncle. His great nephew, David


Green, a current Stony- hurst College pupil, took part in the ceremony, together with other family members and representa­ tives from Capt. Jackman's regiment, the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers. The cadet corps platoons


at the college are named after its Victoria Cross win­ ners and it was Jackman Platoon which formed the honour guard. "This is the first time


that a Victoria Cross has been entrusted to our care, thanks to the generosity and commitment of the family,” said a college spokesman. Capt. Jackman was killed


near Tobruk in November, 1941, after showing "exem­ plary devotion to duty regardless of danger which not only inspired his own men but clinched the deter­ mination of the tank crews never to relinquish the posi­ tion they had gained,” as the London Gazette cita­ tion explained.


Organ music with flavour of romance


THE current season of organ concerts at Clitheroe Parish Church continues on Saturday, with a recital given by the church organ­ ist Mr Michael Pain. His concert will include


English organ music in a romantic vein, with music by Stanford, and Percy Whilock (the ever poplar "Plymouth Suite” with its succession of images of the bustling port), as well as by the organ society's patron, Francis Jackson, organist emeritus of York Minster. J. S. Bach will be repre­


sented by his fantasia and Fugue in C minor BWV537, an accessible


work which is yet one of the most perfect pieces the mas­ ter produced, and the recital will also include the exciting Toccata by Dubois, who was a Parisian organist at the beginning of the cen­


tury. Admission to these con­


certs is £4 (concessions £3). Duty chemist

Progress hiccup leads to pickpocket offence


A PICKPOCKET offence was a hiccup in a Clitheroe man's progress after a prison sentence, said his solici­


tor. James Hartley (24), of


Waterloo House, Water­ loo Road, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty in court at Blackburn to stealing a Filofax belonging to


Christine Rush. Mr Graeme Tindall


(defending) pointed out that when challenged by tlie


owner, who was shopping at Woolworth's in Clithoroe,


Hartley smiled and handed the Filofax back. "There was no suggestion


that he had been aggressive or threatening,” emphasised


Mr Tindall. His client had received a


21-month prison sentence in March, 1998, and while inside had made contact witli Clitheroo Community


Church. On his release he main­


tained that contact through a Mr and Mrs Rogers, who took him into their home.


and supported him in fir ing his own flat and seeking employment, explained Mi


Tindall. For the first time in


life he was earning a jiving. "I would ask you to treat


this incident as a hiccup in the progress he is making. "Ho realises it was a stu­


pid thing to do and as a result has already spent one week in custody,” said Mr


Tindall. Hartley was given a con­


ditional discharge for six months.
