Personal message from the Queen at event which raises £20,000 for the


A TRULY exceptional event in the Ribble Val­ ley on Friday has raised more than £20,000 for the Lancashire branch


of the Red Cross. There was even a person­


al message of good wishes from the Queen! The venue was Stony-


hurst College and the Netquest Corporation Charity Dinner Auction attracted widespread, active support. Leading per­ sonalities from all over the Valley, which is home to the Clitheroe branch of the Red Cross, the county and fur­ ther afield were present. The idea for the event


came from Lady Mary Towneley, of Cliviger, who was a keen worker for the Red Cross. She played a major role in making the arrangements prior to her death earlier this year and her husband, Sir Simon Towneley, was one of the several knights and peers who attended. There were also represen­


tatives from leading firms ranging from the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Company

Two more schools aim for technology college status


A FIRST step to the pos­ sibility of a higher status in future has been taken by Bowland High School,


Clitheroe. It has successfully


applied for affiliation to the Technology Colleges Trust, a body which helps schools work towards gaining the coveted technology college listing awarded by the Gov­


ernment.


St Augustine's RC High School, Billington, is


,


1 already an affiliate and Rib- blesdale High School, Clitheroe, has the full sta­


tus. Schools must raise


£50,000 themselves through sponsorship, and this is sup­ plemented by extra Govern­ ment grants and other sup­


port. "Excellence and diversi­


ty" are the keywords of the scheme, and even becoming affiliated to the trust is a


daunting task. St Augustine's and Bow-

across half a century, Miss Kate Glisbey. Originally from the Lon-

don area, Miss Glisbey (pic­ tured) came to Clitheroe in 1948 as a history teacher at the girls' grammar school. She is remembered for her inspirational classroom gifts, whether with new pupils or A-level candi­ dates. Her all-round skills led her to becoming head of the department and deputy


head of the school. Up to a few weeks before her death, Miss Glisbey was still carrying out her duties as seertary of the Pendle Club, Clitheroe, were she was also a lun­ cheon club assistant cook. Miss Glisbey was a com-

that progress towards the main title, whether it takes one or two years or more, now depends on the schools. "But they will receive a lot of help. This includes access to the network of like-mind­


ed schools, both regionally, and nationally," says the trust. "There is also support with curriculum develop­ ment especially in maths, science, technology, lan­ guages, the arts and voca­ tional education." There are now nearly
