Disappointing night at the camera club


THE latest meeting of Ribblesdale Camera Club was described as slightly disappointing. After a run of excel­


lent speakers and folios, the slides presented appeared to be copies and of insufficient tech­ nical quality to reinforce


the message. However, the recorded


lecture was clear and the points made about the


quality of light were well presented. The club's website,


designed by treasurer Mr Raymond Green­ wood, is developing rapidly and is easily reached by searching for Ribble Valley, which leads quickly to the excellent tourism site.

Working Together For Lancashires' Children


A STAFF baby day at Pendle Primary School, Clitheroe, pro­ vided more than a little wonder


for the pupils. Four staff members arrived at


assembly and spent time explain­ ing the complexities of baby care


with pupils. Taking their babies to school


were Mrs Joanne Schofield with Alice (22 months), Mrs Helen Eddleston with Nicholas (15 months), Mrs Veronica Tobin with Olivia (3 months) and Mrs Clare


Atkinson with Grace (9 months). For Olivia it was not her first visit with mum. She became the youngest


child ever taken into the school when


she was only one day old. Headteacher Mrs Margaret Car­


rington said that all 300 pupils were enthralled to listen to the staff and wanted to know what they had to do


to look after the babies. She said : "They asked lots of ques­


tions about the age difference of the babies, their needs, growth, teeth, diets, sleep and what they can and


can't do." Our picture shows, from the left,

ered in blood and had a swollen lip after a fight in Whalley Road, Clitheroe. He became abusive to police officers and after kicking out at the paramedic was arrested, as he was


clearly drunk. Mr Steven Barker (defending) said


that Clegg, an apprentice bricklayer, wished to apologise to the court, the police and the paramedic involved. "Sadly he had had a lot to drink and can't remember what happened," said
