Signed rugby ball used in Italy clash raises £320 for college


by Linda Bloomfield


A RUGBY ball used when England thrashed Italy 80-24 at Twickenham last month and signed by the home­ grown trinity of Bracken, Greenwood and Balshaw and the rest of the team went for £320 at a charity auction at


Stonyhurst College. For a school with a long time talent


for producing first-class rugby play­ ers, it was no surprise that two tickets for the forthcoming England - France match at Twickenham next month, again set to feature the talented trio, went for £380 to a parent from Bar-


rowford. The occasion was the annual Poet­ ,


ry" banquet,1 the big fund-raiser put on by students in the historically named Stonyhurst Lower Sixth - aimed at giving a large group of chil­ dren with a wide range of disabilities a wonderful week’s holiday under the aegis of the Stonyhurst Childrens


Holiday Trust. All the work for the banquet is


b e i t c u n i i i c i iw , i ___________


organised by the young men and women themselves — the menu, wines, entertainment, music, prizes for the


auction, raffle and tombola, the wait­ ing on and every little detail to ensure every effort was made to wrench the pennies from the parents' pickets. Invitations were sent out to this


year's Poetry parents, families and friends and the college's ambulacrum was full to capacity. The event raised more than £8,uuu. I t was a night of quiet satisfaction


for headmaster Mr Adrian Aylward, who could see the black tie event was proceeding very well indeed. He said: "I am proud of Stonyhurst students and I think it is remarkable the way this banquet is organised each year by the students themselves to benefit


others." Also up for auction were a football


donated and signed by Manchester United FC, which went for £165 and an Irish whiskey decanter and glasses from Man U again, but through an individual, raised £100. This year's banquet committee was


made up of Alex Bloomfield, Tim Bousfield, Juan Cuadrado, Patrick Hill, Mwai Kumwenda, Richard Pin- der, Anna Savage and Oily Spratt. Major-domo for the event, in red tail coat, top hat and exceptionally fine


voice, was Charlie Metcalf. The ban- , quet speech was given by Ciaran

evening, from Handel's "Water.;; Music", to "Tiger Rag" and Irving;.; Berlin’s "Puttin' On the Ritz", was-, provided by the college's Wind Quilt; tet, its African Choir, Concert Band , under its conductor Miss Claire Oxley, soloist Bria Crouch and a d uet: from William Jardim and Emanuel


Tabone. The evening finished with dancing ; , . i


to three bands spawned on the Stony-' hurst campus - Scarlet Blue, th e ; Rhetoric Band and the Poetry Band. • Stonyhurst teachers had taken a ;


back seat all evening — until the very i end when they really showed their . i


mettle. Performing under the name of No -


Commitments", teachers, including^, Mr Jonathan Sharpies on trumpet,; and Miss Oxley, in the most micro of mini skirts, belted out the Jerry Lee.. Lewis classic "Great Balls of Fire., - The Monkees’ "Daydream Believer” and aptly enough Tina Turner's "Sim­ ply the Best” - which they were!

the marathon a shot," said Mr Ronnan. "It was a great night. We want to thank all the people who supported


us." The event raised £2,000

‘Complete Munroist’ entertains naturalists at their annual dinner


| MEMBERS of Clitheroe N a tu ra lis ts were enter-


I tained by a much-trav­ elled naturalist after their


I annual dinner a t the | Moorcock Inn, Wadding-


| ton. David Wymer was a rare


traveller whose audio-visu-


| al presentation reflected his feat of becoming a "Com-


| plete Munroist", having i reached the top of each of I the 284 peaks of the Scot-


| tish Munros. The Munros, covering


the whole of Scotland, are peaks which go through the 3,000ft contour line. He put the Munros in perspective by telling members only four peaks in the Lake Dis­ trict would qualify as being


over 3,000ft. Mr Wymer gave his audi­


ence details of how he pro­ gressed from being a Munro-Baggcr - someone who had not climbed all of the peaks - to becoming a "Complete Munroist". His talk contained humorous anecdotes, like


the one about the sign "No Coaches" on'a small inn that had no roads, only a twice-a-week ferry. His telephoto lens

will be able to keep their studies in the pic­ ture after their school was presented with a


camera last week. St Joseph's School, Hurst


Green, was given the digital camera by Mrs Sue Bailey and her husband, Gary, whose son, Henry, is a pupil


at the school. Mr and Mrs Bailey, who


run Healthrack in Dutton,


I heard from a governor that the school wanted a camera and decided to help out. A digital camera was chosen for its versatility and


I instant image function, so I pictures can be processed


speedily on the school's computer equipment. The head teacher, Mrs


Linda Wilkinson, said: "We have an older population locally and I really wanted a digital camera to use in the production of a school news sheet. I t will be deliv­


books created much more quickly using online pro­ duction methods rather than photographic develop­


ment and printing. I t will also enhance


ered throughout the village to help make villagers aware of our activities and encourage them to assist us through their local and his­


tory knowledge." Apart from developing a


community educational’ link, the camera will prove vital in the continuing pro­ duction of books made by the children, as illustrations can be formed and the


b


another project, the manu­ facture of bookbags, and encourage pupils and pre­ school children to read


more. Our photograph shows


Mrs Bailey trying out the camera with a group of schoolchildren and, at the back from the left, Mr Bai­ ley, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Wendy Ireton, the school nursery nurse.
