proves a hit YOUNG footballers were amazed and delighted when Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn put in a surprise appear­ ance at the Moorland School Soccer Academy. David was there to give


out prizes to each of the 23 aspiring football stars who took part in the first of Moorlands "Football Fit­ ness and Fun" weeks dur­ ing the Easter holiday. Along with Moorland’s


permanent football coach, Charles Jackson, he impressed the girls and boys with a demonstration of his skills and inimitable style, and was rewarded by a stunning display of foot­ ball from the young play­ ers, ranging in age from five to 15. As a local success story


whose career has rocketed during his time at Black­ burn Rovers, David is an inspiration to the academy. Mr Jackson has also


Igov- iract


made a big impact since his arrival at the school in November 2002. He is an FA-approved coach with extensive experience of coaching children. He also works at the Manchester United Advanced Coach­ ing Centre. The "Football, Fitness


and Fun" weeks, which take place throughout the year, include ball control, development of skills, cre­ ating goalscoring chances and finishing skills, (s)

Fascinating show takes in beauty


MEMBER Frank Barnes presented another of his entertaining audio-visual evenings at; the Ribblesdale Camera Club last week. ■ 'High:quality optics arid high fidelity


sounds are combined with interesting com­ mentary and excellent slides, shown through two projectors. Slides, commentary and music are all blended with the images, which fade into the next slide. The first sequence was “The last 10%”, a

TRIBUTES were paid to the Rib- ble Valley’s "happy Mayor” during her final meeting before leaving


Coun. Charles Warkman told ., ’ ;:Wt e oi


Coun. Joyce Holgate: “You have been'a'wonderful mayor. You have had enormous energy and you have been a happy mayor.” He praised the way, supported by


reference to the last 100 years of the millenni­ um. Newspaper articles were skilfully blend­ ed with a comprehensive cominentary on the 20th century with all its advances in technol­ ogy; many corrupted into ever more destruc­ tive weapons of war. A


The theme was continued with “Oradour”,


the story of a village near Limogues in France, whose residents were massacred by the Nazis on June 10th 1944, for no known reason. In all, 634 villagers were killed. There were no survivors. The mood lightened with “Mist, Mood and


Mahler”, which allowed the photographs and the music to speak for itself.;


, The final presentation.was a travelogue


called (‘.‘From Castle to-the Caj>g”,,'a journey by Mr .Barnes and histwife on tne QE2 to South1 Africa and theri sight-^eeing around' Cape Town. The ship called a t ;a number of' places on the way: Vigo in Spain; Santa Cruz in Tenerife; St Helena and finally Walvis Bay inNamibia. The opportunity was always taken to trav­


el and many slides were shown of life on board the ship and the places visited. The sand dunes inland from Walvis Bay were particu­ larly memorable. The main part of the presentation was of Cap&Town and around the area?;Members'


saw Robin'Island where Nelson Mandela was; iinprisoned, the new.developments of the dockland area reminiscent of a blend of Fish­ erman’s Bay in San Francisco and similar developments in Barcelona; the cableway up to Table Mountain and some beautiful coast­ line at Hoek Bay and Boulders Beach. Jack­ ass Penguins and the wine area at Windhoek were shown. With appropriate music and a commentary by Shaw Taylor, the television presenter, this was a show of the highest pro­ fessional standard. A’Newmembers are always welcome to come


on any Tuesday evening. On May 6th, mem­ bers are invited to bring five prints for “I t’s another knockout’, a light-hearted competi­ tion judged by all the members. More infor­ mation is available from the secretary, Ken Geddes, on 01200 423474.

A REPLACEMENT might be built for one of the pre-1914 ward blocks at Calderstones Hospital, Whalley. i / Known as Chestnut Drive, the;complex has 60 beds. Patients live in what are described as "medium secure” conditions. “Our work towards ever- improving standards means


that providing the level of ser­ vice expected is becoming more difficult in such anpld building,” says Calderstones NHS Trust Chief Executive‘ Mr Russ Pearce. 1 ' ‘ ; ~ The tru s t’s need for a


replacement has been acknowl­ edged by the funding agency, the Cumbria and Lancashire Strategic Health Authority<.-■


which has authorised Calder­ stones to make a bid for the project. The new building ' wouldprovide about half the number of existing beds and it is not yet clear where the other 30 would be located. Even if all the financial and


planning formalities -go smoothly, it will be several years before work can start.
