A SCHOOL attended by Ribble Valley pupils has received a p r e s t i ­ gious sports award for,;! its c om m itm en ty to 1' physical education. ’ - Queen Elizabeth's ...


Grammar School is one j of 50 across the country awarded the Sportsmark : Gold status by Sport; i England. It is given to ; educational establish­ ments that provide "a well-balanced physical education programme and demonstrate an out­


standing commitment to school sport provision".;;; Successful schools; must have a strong out-«


of-school programme offering.-:a range of opportunities -7 and


and fitness education,


,enables youngsters to move from’school sport to community sport. TheBlackburn school, •


whichhas nearly TOO pupils from the Valley, first achieved Sports- mark Gold status in 1999. It is valid for three years.


- • ; Former England and


West Ham footballer Trevor Brooking, chair­ man of Sport England, said: "Queen Elizabeth's recognises the value of physical-activity, not just in terms of health


: but also in how it can help pupils to achieve in other subjects." And Dr David Hemp-


sail, the school’s head­ teacher, said: "The suc=- cessful renewal of our status as one of the few Sportsmark Gold schools in the North-


' .West gives us a great sense of achievement.


.. QEGS has a long and proud tradition of sport­ ing excellence, but that is the result of great dedi-


.cation.andj:ommitment_ on behalf of teachers, parents and the boys and girls themselves."

of plants were grown by church-goers'and their supporters. Sales of bric- a-brac and refreshments also helped to swell the profits. A "make your own hanging basket" demonstration by Mrs Jean Cross, of Billington, was much appreciated. Plans are now being

A memorable day out for local naturalists


TWENTY-ONE members of Clitheroe Naturalists set 'off in per­


fect weather!to explore the! unique coastal area around Silverdale.; Led by Christine Washbrook and


Cynthia Lairig, the group walked northwards to the cove from the vil­ lage, with splendid views across More- cambe Bay to .Grange and the Lake­ land hills. Changes to the course of the River Kent have led to the'rapid dis­ appearance of the'springy green turf : of thesaltmarshesi'


b From the cove, the way followed'


narrow ginnels to the church with well-tended gardens and vegetable


plots en route. A limestone escarpment and woods brought the naturalists to


Woodwell. Water, its source Warton Crag, seeped through the cliffs into old stone troughs and in former times sup­ plied water to Silverdale and was also used by drovers. From Lindeth Lane, the coastal areas of Jack' Scout and Jenny Brown's


Point gave’the group opportunities to study the bird and plant life.' ■


This is part of the district designat­


ed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty under the control o f the National Trust. Here were banks of colour—violets,


germander, speedwell, cowslips and a profusion of early purple orchids. As the tide receded, it was possible


to see the extensive changes; every tide cutting into the turf and deepening and extending the channels. Twenty-six birds were spotted, including a buzzard being chased by a •plover. •


; Canada geese, swans, shelduck and


oystercatchers are present in great numbers. Among 56 species of flowers were


milk-wort eyebright and carpets of bluebells in the woods, while orange tip, brimstone, green-veined ivy and Scotch argos were butterflies noted on the walk. On May 25th at 9-30 a.m.,
