School’s orchard to


its eco- status by Robbie Robinson


A SCHOOL in the Ribble Val­ ley has been planting an orchard in the school field as


part of its eco-status. B ra b in s Endowed School,


Chipping, has achieved Eco- School s ta tu s from its recogni­ t io n u n d e r th e T id y B r i ta in


Campaign. More th a n 2,000 schools in


Br ita in have registered in the scheme, b u t only 300 have achieved full s ta tu s and fewer than 10 of these are in Lancashire. Brabins can now fly its green, eco- s ta tu s flag for two years before reassessment. As part of the school's Millenni­


um project, it was decided to devel­ op the school field as a worthwhile living environment for the children. To achieve this through the support the status provides, environmental issues must be a part of the school development plan, an eco-commit- tee must be formed and projects


' must have organised management cycles which involve clear planning, creation and evaluation stages. From the outset, the children


have been involved in planning, decision making and working, rather than being directed by adults. However, as grandparents, parents and teachers are involved in the eco-school committee, all sec­ tions and ago groups of the commu­ nity are involved and work together to develop and maintain a long­


term, living project. Thus, there are six children, a


governor, parents and a warden from Beacon Fell Country Park, a former pupil, on the committee. The children take the minutes, which are then checked and typed up for them, and the project management and operation cycle is implemented. This type of co-operation and


support is normal in Brabins school activities, but has been enhanced by


its eco-status. A sustainable environment is now


being developed in the field. There is a bog garden, a meadow area and a woodland area in which the fruit


trees were planted. Also, damaged trees were replaced


and hedges repaired. As a right of way runs through the field, villagers and walkers using it can appreciate the work being done and, as the chil­ dren grow up with their trees, can pass on their knowledge and contri­ bution to future generations. Unfor­ tunately the route is currently out of use owing to foot and mouth dis­ ease precautions. The trees, shrubs and hedging

Contemporary finale to the


concert season


THE final concert of the season in Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School lecture theatre was presented by The Leopold


String Trio. This young trio, formed


a t the Royal Academy of Music in 1991, has won numerous prizes and much acclaim. The trio has a strong in te re s t in contemporary music and lesser-known m a s te r ­ pieces, which was reflect­ ed in th e choice of pro­ gramme. The concert began with


Schubert's String Trio in B flat, D471, an unfinished work with only the first movement completed. The trio commissioned Schu­ bert scholar Brian New- bould to complete the work. The completed work follows the usual classical four-movement form, and uses material derived from earlier works by Schubert. The performance was


cost £600, which was raised by an Elwood grant. Headteacher Mrs Glynis Goldsborough said: "The school successfully enters competi­ tions and secures grants for projects such as our field - natural science is important. Brabins is a small rural primary school and as such has a limited budget. Grants and compe­ titions are the only way to enhance the school's facilities and develop­ ment outside this."

gestures portrayed by the colourful use of harmonics and bow technique, disturb­ ing rhythmical motives and solos, ideally suited to each individual instrument. The trio gave a highly-


polished performance, dis­ playing superb individual virtuosity and a magnifi­ cent sense of ensemble. I t was, however, a work that requires hearing several times for the listener to begin to understand. . Beethoven's "Serenade in D major" Op 8, a charming early work, was much enjoyed. The opening French march is repeated at the end; with five short movements in between. The performers presented this work in a suitably light and vivacious manner, causing a chuckle from the audience at the end of the "Polacca". The theme and varia­


tions were particularly beautiful, with each player presenting wonderfully- shaped, lyrical solos. The concert was an excel­


lent finale to a very good season of six concerts, pre­ senting a wide range of music for many different ensembles. Arrangements are well advanced for the society's 50th season, which commences in October, for which new members will be

Celebrating the life of a diligent lady


A REQUIEM Mass on Monday will cele­ brate the life of a dili­ gent servant of the area, Mrs Agnes Mc-


Hale. A member of the Cot-


tarn family, Mrs McHale had a lifelong connection of deep faith and com­ mitment with St Mich­ ael and St John's RC Church, Clitheroe. Aged 84, she had been a regu­ lar attender until recent times and could look back at her day school childhood there. Mrs McHale worked


at Trutex, Clitheroe, for 38 years and was also closely connected with the St John Ambulance movement in the town. She was in charge of the nursing cadets when that section started and both there and at work was well known as an effi­ cient leader and supervi­ sor keen to motivate oth­ ers and lead by example. A tall, quietly-spoken


figure, Mrs McHale was highly respected by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. She took up old-time and modem sequence dancing in later life and was a member of the Pendle Club, which she attended regularly. Mrs McHale was wid­


owed many years ago. She leaves a number of nephews and nieces. Fr Joseph Warning


Fined £800 slurry leak from tank


SLURRY which was "highly polluting" leaked into a brook at Sawley from a farm tank, magistrates were


told. Retired farmer Eric


Baines, of Greenhead Farm, Sawley, admitted allowing slurry to enter a waterway when he appeared in court at Blackburn. He was fined £800 with £467 costs. Mrs Liz Bowen (prosecut­


ing) said that a member of the public noticed dis­ colouration in the water, and the Environment Agency was called in before the pol­ lution could cause a major problem. It was more pollut­ ing than sewage, added Mrs Bowen. Mr Patrick Newell


(defending) said that his client was retired but rented the farm to his son. "He reacted immediately


and spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to rectify the leak," emphasised Mr Newell. "He did not deliberately set out to discharge the slurry into a waterway and it was not done for financial gain." As soon as the problem


was detected, the defendant drained the slurry tank and then spent most of the fol­ lowing week finding and repairing the leak. Because of the foot and


mouth crisis, said Mr Newell, the farm had not been able to move a single animal for the past month and had not received any income.
