A TALENTED local soprano helped to launch the programme for th,e Ribchester Fes­


tival of Music 2001. Alison Doyle, who


moved to the Ribble Val­ ley in 1999, sang in St Wilfrid's Church, Ribch­ ester, at Monday's launch


concert. Miss Doyle, of Ribbles-


dale Road, Ribchester, who has appeared with Evelyn Glennie and the East Lon­ don Chorus, recently joined the Blackburn Cathedral- based Renaissance Singers. She has also made record­ ings, teaches the piano and works as a primary school­


teacher. On Monday, she sang

Internet for help and information when, last year, she discovered she had a child with dyslexia. She decided to form a

accompanied by the festi­ val's artistic director, Adri­ an Partington, on organ. The festival will run from


July 4th to 8th, and Mr Partington paid tribute to the district's wealth ot


musical talent. This year’s programme


ranges from jazz star Stacey Kent to the choir of St John’s College, Cambridge. "It's important to ofter


one or two items which are going to appeal to people in the village and those who might not choose to. come to a string quartet concert or symphony. There are one or two jazz events ana events for children. "Married to that, I hope


I am able to offer, with the directors' support, some of the very biggest names in our national music-making scene. People can come to


Ribchester to hear the likes of oboist Nicholas Daniel and others without having to travel to Manchester or Birmingham," said Mr


Partington. The festival has a special


theme of "The New World", beginning, as it does, on July 4th. Last year’s festival commissioned a new work for children entitled The Magic Dragon", which is now being performed throughout the country. The launch event was


attended by Ribble Valley Mayor Coun: Chris Holtom and Mayoress Mrs Dorothy Shaw, Deputy Mayor Coun. Gwen Pye and her consort, Mr Terry Murray. Also present were spon­


sors, members of the Festi­ val Friends' Organisation


and local helpers.


Diary date for cycle stars of the future


FUTURE cycling stars are being sought to test their skills at a locally-based competition. British cyclists had a


hugely successful Olympic Games in Sydney, and now young Ribble Valley bikers are invited to take part in the local heat of Challenge 2001, the national cycling competition for under-13s. The challenge is part of


the Improve scheme, a nationally-recognised ini­


tiative organised by the British Cycling Federation (BCF) and will be held at Oakhill College, Whalley. The competition will be run in safe and supervised con­ ditions and features a skills course which tests children s balance, skill and confi­ dence on their bikes. Mr Charles Jepson, of


the Oakhill Clarion Cycling Club, said: "All local chil­ dren under 13 are welcome to come and take part. The


skills competition is great fun, even for complete beginners, and the children can ride any sort of bike. Helmets are compulsory and there is an entry fee of £4, which is payable on the


day." All who take part will


receive a certificate, and the top three in each school year category will be award­ ed medals and invited to take part in a regional final later in the year. At the regional finals, they will compete against other heat winners for top prizes and the chance to take part in a special training day at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester. The event will take place


on Saturday at 10 a.m. and, for more information, tele­ phone Charles Jepson on 01254 51302, or Libby Khan, BCF Regional Youth Development Offi­ cer, on 01772 761000.


Damaged bridge will stay closed as detour remains


NO date has yet been given for the reopening of Elker Lane Bridge, Billington. The Highways Agency is


still investigating the dam­ age caused to it when the top of a mechanical digger being transported along the bypass underneath caused damage to the structure. "The level of repair work


needed, and how it will be carried oht, are still being assessed," says the High­ ways Agency. Although Elker Lane is a county road, the bridge is looked after by the agency because


it spans the A59. The agency says that


expert engineers are investi­ gating the options. In the meanwhile negotiations are going on with the insurers of the lorry carrying the


digger regarding compensa­


tion. Lancashire County


Council has made a legal order banning vehicles from going in Elker Lane between the entrance to St Augustine's School and Larkhill, on the other side of the . road. This is "because of the likelihood of danger to the public" and the order lasts until Janu­ ary 5th next year. However, the Highways


Agency says that this eight- month period may well be longer than the time required to effect repairs. In the meantime, a detour round Northcote Road and Old Langho Road gives access to the properties affected by the bridge clo­
