XVIAIdIU - SNI>ia3dT - aivid by Katherine Butler


P.E. took on a whole new meaning last week as pupils at St Mary’s R.C. Primary School,


Langho, were treated to a day of activity of the highest order. British gymnasts, Paula Thomas and


Craig Heap, joined the children for the day, giving workshops and information on the benefits of health and exercise. The whole school was able to join in on


the day’s proceedings, learning about health and fitness through a variety of exercises and discussions with the sporting stars. The children were spoken to about


healthy bodies and healthy eating, and through a round-robin style of training were able to to try out a whole host of exercises. The day culminated in their involvement in some gymnastic displays showing off their newly discovered talents. The promotion of involvement in sport


was undoubtedly at the forefront, and through a special demonstration by the gymnasts, the children were able to see the


| benefits and fun in sport. Headteacher, Fliss Watson, described the

day as a complete success, saying: “There was 100% satisfaction from the kids, the staff and subsequently the parents who had been informed. It was a great day and our guests proved to be fantastic role models for


I value.” Our picture shows British gymnasts


| the children.” She concluded: “It was an example of education and entertainment of the highest

Search is on for more lay police volunteers THE SEARCH is on for more volunteers to join


Lancashire’s army of police independent custody visitors.


| Lancashire already has 60 lay visitors who turn , up unannounced in police stations across the coun- | ty to check on detainee treatment and conditions. , The volunteers, selected from the community,


[ work in pairs and carry out visits at all times of the day and night. The role of Independent Custody Visitors was


introduced nationally following the Brixton Riots in 1981.


Now, Lancashire Police Authority, which oversees


the scheme, wants to recruit more volunteers. Candidates should be aged over 18 years and


must have no direct involvement in the criminal justice system. Lancashire Police Authority mem­ ber, Gail Stanley, JP, said: “We have recently seen changes in the law that highlight human rights and the treatment of those in police custody is one key


indicator of the extent to which we are embracing this culture of rights.


“This scheme not only offers transparency but


provides extra protection to detainees. Local people will be giving something back to the communities they serve by providing vital independent scrutiny.” Those interested are asked to contact Ian Dick­


inson on 01772 533462 or write to the Chief Execu­ tive of Lancashire Police Authority at PO Box 653, Preston. PR2 2WB.


LOCAL farmers did well in last week’s Christ­ mas Calf Show at Gisburn Auction Mart. The Champion Calf prize was won by Mr.T. W.


Holden, of Yew Tree Farm, Chaigley, for his Belgian Blue X bull calf which went for £322. He also won the Class 1 prize for that breed. G.T. Blezard of Ribch- ester took third (for £305). All three prizes in the Class 4 Best Limousin X heifer


calf went to Ribble Valley vendors. J. Holden and Son, Stonyhurst, took 1st prize (for £118), 2nd went to J.E and J.G Cowperthwaite, Pendleton (for £75) and 3rd to W. Parker, Ribchester (for £120). J. Peel of Gisbum won Class 6, Best Other Continental


X Heifer Calf (for £72), and for Class 7, Best Other Con­ tinental Bull Calf, Standridge Farms, Slaidburn, took 1st place (for £138), 2nd went to J.E and J.G Cowperth­ waite, Pendleton, (for £120) and 3rd to K. Barton, Bolton-by-Bowland (for £95). The improvement in the markets is indicated by four


Belgian Blue X bulls going for over £300, one of them for £350, with this year’s Christmas Show numbers at 191 compared with 91 in 2002. Rachel Capstick of Gisburn Auction Mart said: “The calf market has recovered well since foot and mouth, with average numbers exceeding numbers prior to FMD. Reg­ ularly numbers forward weekly between 150 to 200 calves. New buyers are coming from far and wide to Gis­ burn as other markets are short of numbers.”
