A PHOTOGRAPH printed in the May issue of Valley magazine has started a "where-are- they-now?" quest for pupils from Moorland School.
The photograph .
shows pupils from the school lined up to greet Prince Charles when he visited Clitheroe in 1981. The school is call ing for the ex-pupils, or anyone who knows who they are, to get in touch. It is hoped they will
be able to attend the school's jubilee garden party on Sunday, June 19th, and the school
reunion on September
21st. .. Anyone with informa tion can send an e-mail via the school's website,
www.moorlandschool.co. uk.
The garden party,
which is open to every one, will be held in the school grounds and will include a bouncy castle, judo display and perfor mances by the school choir and Clitheroe Town Band. Starring in the show will be French teacher Mademoiselle Parayre, who will per form her famous fire-eat ing routine.

ALMOST 12 months to the day - the worst day in my life,
1st June, 2001 — foot and mouth disease removed all livestock from this farm. The trauma goes on but is hidden by other problems as this year progresses. Agriculture has had a very
rough ride over the years and the last 18 months have been very trying. I ’m sure no-one wants FMD to return. 2002 started with hard frost
in early January, turning into the wettest February for some years. March dried out and April was oner of the driest on record. All in all, a good Spring for lambing as the dry weather saved thousands of lambs through April to aid the restocking process. Milk cows and young stock
have been bought from vari ous fanners either direct from the farm - the only method up to a few months ago - and now from the auction marts.
