More success for schooFs junior entrepreneurs


Young Enterprise n ation al finals again await Ribblesdale high-flying business team


ANOTHER "Young Enterprise" triumph has been recorded by Ribblesdale High


School, Clitheroe. For the second succes-.


sive year i t has won through to the national finals of the business-for- school contest, giving the area yet another impor­ ta n t accolade regionally


and nationally. Scores of schools enter


the contest and Ribblesdale came third in 1998. There are high hopes that the suc­ cess of its Witchways board


game and computer disc leavers' book will edge it up


higher this time. Right from the s ta r t


every effort has been made to follow the Young Enter­ prise ethos of learning by doing, and Ribblesdale s team, Paragon, has had its own motto - "The pursuit of excellence is our game." The five-strong presenta­


tion team and staff will be going on an all-expenses- paid three -day trip to Lon­ don at the beginning of next month to take on nine rivals representing the other regions of the United

few days previously. Ribblesdale beat six


other schools in the North West England final at the University of Central Lan­ cashire, Preston, on Sunday. "It was a very testing day tor the team members, but they came through with fly­ ing colours, encouraged by supporters who included parents and some of last year's team," says link


teacher Mr Neil Ashworth. "The competition was


very strong but the judges made it clear that our pro­ fessionalism and business­ like approach gave us the results which decided our


victory." Others competitors came


from as far away as Cheshire, but Ribblesdale^s


600 per cent return on capi­ tal plus Its other strengths


won the day. The event was supported


by Energi, McDonalds and Whitbread In The Commu­ nity. Mr Peter Dobson,


Human Resources Director of North West Water, was the chairman of the judges. The witch game was devised by Ribblesdale


pupils and the pieces wore assembled there produc­ tion-line style after being manufactured at nearby Rectella International, also the school's link company. Sales not only of the game but also of a leaver's book, produced on computer disc as well as in conventional form, roared away. The pro­ fessional presentations made to the judges also counted for a lot. The school has been con­


gratulated by Mr Trevor Roberts, chairman of the Young Enterprise area board. "I had every confi­ dence in the team members and never doubted th a t they would do well," he


said. The national final starts


with a dinner on Monday, July 5th, and will involve the most testing presenta­ tions yet to senior business


judges. Our picture shows the


high-fliers with their game. Charming walk for naturalists Gisburn Auction Mart prpes


A CIRCUIT of Barbon Beck from Burnsall was enjoyed by Clitheroe


Naturalists. The route by Langer-


ton Hill, Dibbles Bridge, Appletreewick, and the


River Wharfe, afforded extensive views of the upper end of Wharfedale,


Simon's S eat, th e hills beyond Malham and


Burnsall Fell itself. Many birds, including


skylarks, peewits and curlews, were seen on the open moorland, while sand martins, gold finches and swallows etc. were nearer to the riverside meadows and


old farm buildings. Lush hedgerows, limestone out­ crops and the change to a short stretch of gritstone around Langerton Hill pro­ vided a great variety of plants. The leader was Mrs M. Thornton. The next outing is to


Evestone Lakes. To book ring 01200 428117.

A LOCAL hospital has been given a spe­ cial "thank you" by grateful colleagues of a works electrician injured in a horrif­


ic road accident. Mr John Steed, of Clitheroe, spent a


period of recuperation at Clitheroo Hospi­ tal after being critically injured in the


crash in January last year. His colleagues at Castle Cements Rib­


blesdale works were so impressed by the care he received there that they decided to raise money for the hospital, and their effort resulted in a £500 donation. Mr Steed, who is still off work tlirough


his injuries, was on his way to work on his moped when ho was involved in a head-on crash with another vehicle and was cata­


pulted over a bridge on to the railway line. "Having been critically ill for weeks fol­


lowing the accident, John recovered suffi­ ciently to be transferred to Clitheroe Hos­ pital, where he received excellent nursing


care," said a colleague.\ Half the donation was raised by holding


a social night and the company matched the funds, bringing the total to £500. A further £150 was donated by Well-


gate Social Club, where the event was held, and an arrangement of silk an dried flow- ers was given as a display for one of the


hospital wards. Mr Steed is pictured at the presentation


with hospital representative Brenda Dixon.
