Thumbs up for Oakhill open event


THE Open Evening a t Oakhill College, Whal- ley, was designed to ■ show the approach th a t the college takes to edu­ cation provision, mak­ ing i t as interactive as possible for all con­ cerned. A group of Year 7 girls


ran a French caf6 in the modern languages room, which visitors could call into for a glass of wine, some bread and cheese, all of which had to be requested in French. Many of the parents


Golfers’ life-saver TDay Sfer fflnily


A LIFE-SAVING initia­ tive at work in the Ribble Valley received a £1,500 boost from Clitheroe Golf Club members. Money raised a t the


Captain’s Charity Golf Day, held in August, was presented to representa­ tives of the First Respon­ ders scheme. Set up through the


“Heart of Lancashire Appeal”, the scheme is run by Lancashire Ambulance Service. I t provides defib­ rillators to be kept in iso­ lated or rural locations and trains a local group of peo­ ple in how to use the life­ saving machines. These “First Respon­


ders” work on a rota basis to provide round-the-clock first aid cover quickly to anyone in the area who suf­ fers a heart attack. The easy-to-use defibril­


lators are designed to restore a normal heartbeat by giving the patient an electric shock. Receiving this treatment in the first few. minutes after a heart attack can mean the differ­ ence between life and death. Members of Clitheroe


Golf Club read about the pioneering initiative - now operating in the Ribble Valley - in a feature in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, and decided to sup­ port it. The £1,500 cheque was


presented by captain of the golf club, Mr Paul Marlow. Pictured from the left

day is urging youngsters to don fancy dress and lunch will be provided by the staff a t Woodlands. Sporting activities , a


treasure hunt, building a musical instrument, the chance to try out braille and sign language and face painting are some of the tasks that youngsters will be taking part in.


who went to view had to dig deep into their vocabulary to request "pain et fromage et un verre de vin rouge”. The history and geog­


raphy room had a collec­ tion of archaeological finds on display, which could be lifted, examined and discussed with the pupils on hand. The music room had


its newly installed i- desks up and running with the latest GCSE software in operation enabling the visitors to see and hear the real advantages th a t this tremendous technology brings to musical educa­ tion. The computer room


was set up with the vari­ ous programmes running to enable visitors to gain a real hands-on feel for the technology. More than 30 families


interacted during the evening, which ended with drinks and canapes served in the Millennium Hall.

BEER th a t tastes like beer used to will be delivered throughout the Ribble Valley in a van that looks like vans used t o . . . Mr Richard Baker, of


the Bashall-based Bow- land Brewery, wanted to emphasise the traditional techniques and produc­ tion values th a t make his


beer th a t little bit special. Now he has bought a


replica 1930s-style delivery van that is set to become a familiar sight as it trans­ ports barrels to pubs and clubs the length of the Val­ ley, and further afield. Nicknamed “Galloping


Gurtie” by Richard’s seven- year-old son, Thomas, the company van combines the best of old and new. Its Shire Asquith body


harks back to the days when all beer was brewed


by time-served craftsmen in small, independent brew­ eries. But concealed beneath


the bonnet is a modern 2.5 litre Ford engine capable of getting Gurtie quickly and reliably to her delivery des­ tinations and home again. The custom vehicle was


originally built in 1986 for Coca Cola, bu t has now moved upmarket into real ales. Galloping Gurtie has already been to Wakefield,


Huddersfield and Preston, as well as making her regu­ lar local rounds. Mr Baker commented:


“I would love to deliver beer on a dray, bu t th a t wouldn’t be very practical on the M62 so this is the next best thing and cus­ tomers so far have all been really pleased to see her.” Our picture shows Mr


Baker loading up Galloping Gurtie for another tour of Valley hostelries. (B221003/02)

pool for the autumn and winter months and is replaced by a weekend con­ ventional ferry service.” “However, we do believe

year increased financial compensation should be given to passengers who are denied board­ ing due to over-booked flights. Passengers on short flights will receive


around £170 compensation - this is an extra £70 on top of current rates - while compensa­ tion on longer flights will be doubled to around £420. This comes after findings that each year one quarter of a million passengers are refused


boarding when they arrive to check-in lor a flight. This is because airlines often over-book flights in a bid to make more money as they expect some passengers not to turn up for flights. However, occasionally too many peo­ ple turn up for flights and so some people are refused boarding. The new law also means that for the first


time passengers whose flights are delayed or cancelled will be entitled to compensation for their inconvenience. This extends to charter flights as well as scheduled departures. The compensation for passengers whose


flights have been cancelled will be the same as for those who have been denied boarding, as well as a choice of either a full refund or alter­ native flight. Travellers whose flights are delayed will not be compensated as such, although, the new law does state that they can receive a full refund if the delay is over two hours for a short flight and four hours for a longer flight. In addition to this financial compensation,


travellers who are delayed, denied boarding, or have had their flight cancelled must be pro­ vided with meals, refreshments and hotel accommodation if necessary. However, low cost airlines claim that these


new measures will mean th a t they will be forced to increase the price of airfares as they may have to pay compensation in excess of the price they charge for flights. Clitheroe Euro-MP Chris Davies argues


that companies have got to accept minimum standards of public services. "If low-cost airlines are here to stay, as it


looks likely, then they cannot build their busi­ ness on the basis of cutting comers and over­ booking flights," said Mr Davies.


"Customers should have the rights to fair


treatment and protection from shoddy ser­ vices even when they might be getting a bar­ gain if all goes well."
