Annie Apple and Gary Grape take a bunch of their chums for a trip
A S PECIAL Pendle thank-you was given by the children of Pcndle P rim a ry School for a fun-packed morning with an ed u c at io n al twist. The event was organ
ised by Clitheroe Royal Grammer School sixth
formers as part of their Curriculum Enrichment Programme, in conjunc tion with Liverpool Uni versity. Five CRGS pupils came
up with the idea for "Fruity Friends" as part of a Healthy Eating Workshop, with the aim of educating children from the age of one to three in a fun way about healthy eating. The Fruity Friends had
to work to a £15 budget and at the end of the pro gramme will produce a report with a final presen tation with the overhead projector. They provided colour
ing books, a word search, held tastings and had competitions. Each group was organ
ised with a team leader. The Fruity Friends
consisted of Mathew Greatorex - Gary Grape - Katrina Fenwick - Sally Strawberry - Chris Ileald - Boris Banana, Andrew Sumner - Oliver Orange -
and Sarah Lawrey - Annie
Apple. In March, a prize-giving
ceremony will be held for the group with the best
work. Mathew Greatorex,
appropriately attired, com mented: " The morning has
been a great success and the children have really enjoyed it. The children are of a varying abilities so the Fruity Friends had to have a general appeal." The scheme was co-ordi
nated with the help of Mrs Shears, primary facilitator.

Youth’s driving career suspended
D E S S th a n a y e a r a f te r passing his test, Clitheroe apprentice joiner Kieran John Taylor’s driving career came to a crashing end. Blackburn magistrates
heard that he collided with railings at the entrance to a car park in Queensway, Clitheroo, and when breathalysed gave a posi tive reading. Just days before appear
ing in court for drink dri ving, Taylor received a bill for £1,300 for the repair of the railings. Taylor (18), of Linden
Drive, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol and was fined £160, disqualified from dri ving for 18 months and ordered to pay £55 costs. He agreed to be referred to the drink drivers' rehabili tation course through which he can reduce his dis qualification by 25%. Mrs Debbie Jameson
