^IGT m e m o e r s i n w


MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley Tourist Association are being urged to


attend meetings. Secretary Mrs Elizabeth Robinson , .


said that Miss Carolyn Milburn, the speaker at the association's last meet­ ing, had much to say which was oi


interest and value to members. Miss Milburn, of the Bowland Ini­


tiative, had described schemes that can help with development, planning and diversification in farms and busi­


nesses in the valley. She talked about a group of farmers


who had formed a co-operative to pro­ mote their products and sell them locally, including at farmers markets. The talk led to lively discussion with


the speaker about tourism, its promo­ tion in the Ribble Valley and its effects


ion in th e K ib b le v a n e y a n u


on the area. Mrs Robinson said that iUUlV.C-o IV*

She said: "It was very informative,

so I want to drum up support. Mem­ bers are missing a lot by not going to the meetings. We hold eight each year The association currently has about


80 members but it is claimed that only 20 people attend.

forefront o f


technology - it is one ol the first schools in the Ribble Valley to have its own information technol­


ogy suite. Where most schools,


cramped for space, have to make do with a couple of computers in a corridor, an ingenious scheme at Edisford turned two store­ rooms and an old cloak­ room into an IT suite with 20 computers. Headteacher Mr


Robert Pye: "These sort of facilities are a rarity in


primary schools. I t makes teaching on computers much easier


when there are that many computers all together in one room and, the children can work together." The building work cost


£9,000 and the provision of the computers cost


close to £18,000. Half the cost of the


computers came from a Government initiative


which backs schools which have staff qualified in teaching computer skills. Edisford is more lortu- nate than most. I t has Mrs Kath Wilson, who is q[ualified to t uhe extent

fundraising efforts from the parent-teacher associ­

ty" is how the Ribble Valley's MP described rural post offices. Speaking after taking part in a debate


on the future of the rural outlets in par­ liament, Mr Evans said: "The post office is the life blood in any small village. It is the centre of the community and if it closed would disadvantage many elder­ ly people who do not have their oym transport and suffer from poor local bus services. The closure sometimes spells


the death knell of the village itself. Mr Evans said 547 post offices had closed in 2001, with 119 shutting between April and June this year. He added that the running of the post office had "beeri transformed from a job to a vocation , with closures accelerating under this | Government. He called on the Govern- ment to come up with a policy which would make it more attractive to work | in, or enter, the post office business, adding that it would be judged over the coming year by how many offices remained open and not closed.
