- . •' '. A candlelit supper marks library opening


A MUSICAL candlelit dinner at Stonyhurst College to celebrate the launch of the Tolkien Library at St Mary’s Hall was attended by 150 guests on Saturday. The actor Sir Ian Holm, who


plays Bilbo Baggins in the film "Lord of the Rings", sent a person­ al message which was read to. guests: "I would just like to send my personal greetings, and happy imbibing to you all on the occasion ; of this Tolkien get-together. I wish I could be with you all, but unfor­ tunately that cannot be. My sin­ cere good wishes,"- Ian Holm. Celebrity endorsements for th e '


Tolkien Library continue to arrive.: To.date, names such as Christo­ pher Lee, Fern Britton, Michael Aspel, Uri Geller-and members of the Blackburn Rovers football squad - will soon adorn the walls of


the library. The headmaster o f St Mary’s


Hall, Mr Michael Higgins, wel- corried guests and, after a Pimms reception in the Moore Library at Stonyhurst College, dinner was served in the Jacobean "Top Refec­


tory". St Mary’s Hall boys’ choir sang


grace ("Non Nobis Domine” - also to be sung by them at York Min­ ster Evensong on Monday) and there was additional musical enter­ tainment by Stonyhurst pupils James O’Donnell (15) on violin


and Michael Mellows (15) on ’cello. . College headmaster Mr Adrian


Aylward offered the loyal toast, and there were speeches by Jan Graffius, curator of Stonyhurst College, on her work and some of the famous past pupils, and by Mr Jonathan Hewat, marketing and admissions manager, on Tolkien’s links with Stonyhurst. Mr Hewat told guests: "The


local heritage trail, entitled Tn the Footsteps of J. R. R. Tolkien1, launched back in June, has attract­ ed a flood of visitors to date. ' ■ "If I may finish by quoting that


guru of all wizards, Gandalf, who said: ‘One must tread the path that


need chooses.’ ■ ■ "Need dictated.that St Mary’s


Hall required a new library. Thanks to the generosity of pupils, parents, staff and friends of St Mary’s Hall, and all of you attend­ ing tonight, the dream of a centre for learning and resource in the heart of the school has been realised - much to the obvious delight of those halflings that are the children of St Mary’s Hall." . Pictured are pupils in the new


Tolkien Library, right,and above, the illuminated facade of St Mary's Hall taken during a light and firework spectacular held to raise both the profile and funds for . the library, (s)

Thanks from 101


Dalmatians! V I WOULD like to thank everyorie, including our school staff, governors, parents and children for all their help and support in crinriectipn with our float, 101 Dalmatians, for.the Torch­ light procession.',


• It was a tremendous team effort


and resulted in our float .being judged the best in the procession.: " •


The help: we received from Castle


Cement, Barnes arid Tipping, Abbey Mill Carpets, Harrison’s Engineering and Trritex (especially Arthur Sims and Alan Wilkinson) all helped us to make a magnificent float. So many people helped in so many


ways, I cannot possibly mention everyone, but there are a few I would like to thank. First I would like to thank Olwyn


and Stephen Clark for obtaining the tractor unit from his employer and- driving it on the night: Thank-you once again to all of you


who helped in any way. Without such a great team effort, we could not have achieved such a


brilliant result. G.D. CLAYDON, Hciulteacher, 1 Brookside School, Clilhcroe.


Claydon for the idea and the overall Walkers’ delight


organisation. I would like to thank David Wood-


. worth and David Pomfret from Cas­ tle Cement for all their help; also Dermod Ruddock for designing, the float arid all the work in making the sceriery; Carol Mackey for designing and making the. decorations, and ■Nick Mackey for arranging the


• music. Finally, I would like to thank Brian Clark for obtaining the trailer

Mahatma Gandhi in the 1920s, and on to the Hundred Steps. These lead down to West Clough


Brook and were reputedly built by a local farmer to enable his young daughter to walk to school in .


Grindleton. Lancashire County Council


restored the steps a few years ago, but today one can count only 70 steps, rather than the reputed 100. A warning - it is definitely a boot or welly walk and not for trainers. Lancashire County Council


deserves the greatest praise for the work they have put in over the last five years to achieve this solution to the problem and for the restoration of the Hundred Steps.
