A JOYFUL day for Brabins Endowed School, Chipping, was enjoyed by pupils, staff, gover­


nors and parents. The school became one of only


225 across Britain to receive an Eco-schools flag from Tidy Britain,


to mark its active care for the envi­


ronment. This is reflected in the creation of a


bog garden and the installation of bird feeders and boxes, worked carried out largely by the children them-


selves. The flag was officially presented by


Ribble Valley MP Mr Nigel Evans. He is seen with it, top left. Beside


him is the Rev. Arthur Siddall, a gov­ ernor of the school, and on the other side are chairman of the governors Mr James Berry, right, and Eco-school official Mr Dave Mellor. Some of the children are in the background. (C070700/5)
