WEATHER that was just a little too hot to be idyllic greeted Whalley CE Primary School sports day. All 220 pupils took part in the races

Poet has


PUPILS of Ribblesdale High School Technology College had more thari a book event when a natiorially-famous author accepted an invitation.to their


" annual writing festival. They had a side-splitting perfor­


mance from one of the country's top comic poets, who regularly plays to sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh


Festival. John Hegley - described in a Sun­


day Times review as "scandalously funny" - staged an hour-long show to Ribblesdale pupils and guests from St Augustine's RC High School, Billing:


ton. The show included reading, singing,


comedy and dancing. Afterwards, 25 Ribblesdale pupils


in stitches!


were privileged to take part in a work­ shop with the performer-poet. He has been touring with the one-


man show, "John's Journals",, since May. The show draws its materials from


his own schooldays and his Cub Scout diary, a 10-year old's perspective "before and after glasses" and travels to Nice, Greece, Australia, Columbia, Reading - and Stenhousemuirl The poet will be taking two new


shows to the Edinburgh Festival next month. One, for under-sevens, is called "My dog is a carrot", the other is called "The Sound of Paint Drying". . In our picture, the poet makes close


acquaintance with his young audience. (J150702/3)

However, the postal ser- : vices watchdog, Postwatch, said this week th a t under the new scheme domestic post for urban areas would be delivered between 9 a.m. and noon, with post for rural areas, such as the Ribble Valley, arriving between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Royal Mail expects to save £350m.


-more letters a day would have delivery


a year by reorganising its delivery ser­ vice. It believes a single post, delivered over a longer time span, would be more efficient, cutting travelling costs and enabling a million more first-class let­ ters to arrive on time each week. However, its plans to introduce a paid-for early morning delivery service


’ which would guarantee post arriving before 9 a.m. have been slammed by Ribble Valley MP Mr Nigel Evans and the Federation for Small Business. Said Mr Evans: "I am concerned by this new turn of events in the Con-


will be trialled in Salford, St Helens, Halifax and Thirsk in the North West, together with.10 other pilot areas nationwide. However, if the Royal Mail goes


its public service responsibility. Com­ bined, with the rural post off ice clo-. sures across Lancashire, the postal ser­ vices seem .to be abandoning rural' areas like the'Ribble Valley whose economies depend on the siriall enter­ prise and local shop." The proposal was also criticised by


myself, I know shops and small prac­ tices rely on a steady and quick cash flow to survive. Small businesses rely on the Royal Mail lor their cash flow and cannot wait until lunchtime for their cheques to arrive. "Royal Mail is clearly losing sight of


signia and Post Office saga. Already, we have seen many post offices close with the latest threat of closure hang­ ing over West Bradford Post Office. Now, the many small businesses in Clitheroe may have to pay more than £700 a year, a significant extra cost, to have letters delivered at the start of business. "Being a small business owner


BUYONE GET-ONE


Mr Paul Henly, policy officer for the Federation of Small Businesses in the North West. He described it as "a ludi­ crous suggestion" and added: "Big businesses can still receive their post by 9 a.m. and not get charged for it because they have rnore mail. If you are a company which receives under 20 letters a day you are now going to be penalised - it is a direct tax on small businesses which have already suffered as a result of post office closures and a downgrading of rural services." After initial condemnation of the

encouraging, with one for £900; the gallery's largest ever. ■ Comments, on the


gallery and its exhibi­ tions have included "great .workmanship, beautiful gallery" from a San Francisco visitor to "thought provoking and inspiring" by someone from as near as Chat- burn. An admirer from


Blackpool wrote: "Won­ derful, I will be back for another look."
