Local pupils find that
LITERATURE came alive for youngsters from throughout the Ribble Valley in cele brations to mark
World Book Day. In storybook fashion,
pupils of Sabden County Primary School swopped their uniforms for cos tumes more usually worn by characters from their favourite tales. From fairy princesses to
Robin Hood, the children took their heroes and hero ines off the page and into class, encouraged by head mistress Mrs Sandra Dun- don, who spent the day dressed as the Queen of Hearts from Lewis Carroll’s Alice books. Pupils at Gisburn Coun
ty Primary School were vis ited by popular children’s authors, Yorkshire's Michael Hardcastle and Penny Dolan.
books spell excitement
With 140 books to his
name, many of which have a sporting theme, Mr Hardcastle brought his works to life by suggesting the youngsters came to story reading classes in their favourite sports gear. Other school activities,
co-ordinated by teacher Mrs Catherine Wrigley, included book displays and a talk on libraries. For children a t Clith-
eroe's St James's CE Pri mary School, World Book Day spelt alphabet work. Pupils marked the day with a week's worth of reading activities, organ ised by English co-ordina tor Miss Belinda Cass.
SPORTING a greater interest in literature are children from Gisburn County Primary School ( r ig h t) . With them is author Michael Hard castle (220499/1/11)

On the trail of the Barbary raiders while enjoying Spanish holiday
WHAT do retired historians do when they go on holiday? In the case of Mr and Mrs Gerry McAvoy, it was history and archaeology, as they explained to Whalley and District Histor
ical and Archeological Society. Their talk was entitled "Archaeolo
gy in the Costa Blanca" and described how, while taking the winter sunshine in the village of Calpe, near Alicante, they examined the research done by
the-University of Valencia-on-the- history of the,
area.frora th.ejtupic « •
Roman remains. They also investigat ed the history of the area. Of particular interest was the fish
j* i
farming which was carried out by the Romans, using caves cut into the rocky shoreline. Locally produced salt was used to preserve the fish. The speakers illustrated the site
with projected photographs, which also showed the building work round the area, which has now encroached
on the remains. Mr McAvoy went on to outline the
j
wars and the ar r iv a l of Hannibal through to the Moorish occupation, the slave-taking Barbary raiders and the 20th century civil war.
1 J. 1_ — _ ! 1 » f T-T n i K/l I The evening ended with a lively dis
cussion on the differing approaches to archaeology and building and plan ning regulations in the Spain and the
UK. The next meeting is the annual one
tonight. There will be short talks from members and a Jacob's Join.

Agreeing to conditions leads to go-ahead for twin loose box stable
_,T . vre ,
box stable and storage area on land in Waddington have been given th e go-ahead a f te r the ap p lican ts agreed t'o c e rtain
planning conditions, y Local residents had felt th a t a new
building, on land above Ringley Hey House, W ad d in g to n Fell R oad, would obscure the views from their homes, but, speaking a t 'th e Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning
the applicants,-Mr R. Riidden, said th a t the planned building would be made from wood and would be locat ed in the middle of gorse bushes so as to be hidden from the road and near
by houses. Mr Rudden said provisions had
also been made to move the existing gateway and to keep the land as just one eight-acre plot, after the parish council said it objected to the applica tion on the grounds th a t "the land
the
lots, and a construction such as this might well set the precedent for fur ther haphazard and unsightly build
ings.” Mr Rudden commented: "There
has been some misunderstanding;of what this land will be used for. I t will only be used for Welsh mountain ponies, which are very small, and has only been used in the past for grazing sheep and horned cattle." The applicant also offered to make more changes if necessary.

LOW cloud and rain greet ed a hardy band of Tues day walkers from Clitheroe Ramblers' Club, when they set out for an eight-mile trek in the Mal-
ham area. Led by Mr Ben Brown,
th e entire hike was above the 1100ft. contour and at no point touched a public
road. Starting from Lancaster
Gate, th e small p a r ty crossed moorland to the north-west of Malham to reach Jubilee Cave, which members used as shelter for
I their lunch stop. They then trekked on to

climb o u t of Stockdale, although not steep, quite a slog. The p a r ty th en fol lowed the ancient bridleway, which links the Cove Rohd to Settle, leaving a t Nappa

birds seen on the walk were snipe, curlew, skylark, meadow p ip i t and \ a wheatear.
