their bikes for celebrations
OFFICERS from Rib- ble Valley Borough Council climbed on their bikes to promote a new national net
work. On the year's longest day
- June 21st - a group of 10 left the council offices on the first leg of a 30-mile journey which took them via Accrington and Black burn to Preston. The cyclists were waved off by Chief Executive Mr David Morris and Coun. Chris Holtom, Mayor of the Rib- ble Valley. En route to Preston the
Valley riders met up with the cyclists representing other district councils and
the unitary authority of Blackburn-with-Darwen. The aim of the three-
hour ride was to promote the National Cycle Net work, and at the end of the road in Preston a Millenni um Mile Post was unveiled in honour of the event. Those who had helped
create the network not only rode the finished 5,000 miles of the route, but also the other 5,000 miles still being developed. The
national network provides a series of safe, attractive and high-quality routes for those cycling to work, school or for leisure. More than 400 local authorities, together with businesses, landowners and environ mental groups, have been involved with the network project which has been co ordinated by Sustrans and funded by the Millennium Commission.

Ramblers enjoy scenic trip round Pendle
ON Tuesday, Clitheroe Ramblers walked from the Nick of Pendle to Newchurch, before
returning to the starting point. Initially the group made its way to Spence Moor
before travelling downhill over rough ground which was still wet and reedy in spite of the recent hot spell. Conditions underfoot were drier near Fell Wood,
where the group stopped for lunch and enjoyed views of Barley and the summit of Pendle before descend
ing to Newchurch. After visiting the church, the walkers took a path
towards Sabden Fold and saw buttercups and, more unusually, llamas in a field. Further along they saw pea cocks, peahens and their young. The return to the Nick was via Stainscomb and Rat-

Youngsters bury history inside a capsule
l
EDUCATIONAL example and ingenuity was displayed at Ribblesdale Nursery School, Clithcroe. Scientifically designed and professionally made time capsules come expensive, but the one buried in the school
grounds as part of the golden jubilee celebrations is near
ly as good. Photographs, class lists, various appropriate objects
and a copy of the Advertiser and Times were carefully wrapped in airtight plastic and everyone hopes that they will bo in good condition if and when they are dug up cen
turies hence! The exccrcise provided a lot of food for thought for the
pupils and staff. The celebrations include a tree planting, a concert, an open day, a re-union, and presentation of com memorative items to the children by chairman of gover
nors Mr Bert Jones. Our picture shows head Mrs June Dewhurst with chil
dren and colleagues before the time capsule was buried. (K260600/6/49)
