Pupils celebrate taking delivery of new classroom


IT w a s h a rd h a t s o n a t M o o r la n d School to ta k e d e liv­ e ry of a n ew 4000sq. f t c la s s ro om b lo ck recently. Anticipation was running high as the school awaited the


early morning delivery of a new purpose built block, designed to house six junior classrooms plus a large music and assembly room. Things did not go exactly to plan as the convoy of trucks, car­


rying the ready-constructed classrooms, made its way through Sawley, only to find that the bridge was too narrow for the huge trailers to navigatel Some fast thinking was needed to solve the problem, as building workers and staff stood by at the school, wondering when their much awaited classrooms would arrive. Fortunately new trailers were found and the classrooms hoisted


onto them to continue their journey. After only a few hours delay excited pupils watched as the units were lifted into position by crane and fitted together. This “Bob the Builder-” style drama concludes months of antic­ ipation which started back in January, when principal Paul Smith


took on the role of architect and sat down to design the new build- ing.


s The classrooms have been tailored in every respect to meet the


needs of the Junior school, down to the last light switch, and were supplied as ten individual pre-formed units to be assembled on site. The new block is part of the ongoing upgrading of facilities at


the school following rapid expansion over the last year. The historic original school building has also seen many


improvements, with state of the art IT facilities and brightiy dec­ orated and re-fumished dormitories. The sports hall has benefited from a new floor and is much in


demand by Moorland's Football Academy and Olympic fencing classes, which are attended by children from the local area. Staff and pupils alike have been looking forward to occupying


the new Junior building and are watching with interest as the final touches are made, in readiness for their open day on November 6th.

The price is right... by Gabrielle Fagan


SUDDENLY it is fashionable to think cheap when it comes to interiors. Forget spending oodles of money


to make your home look as though it has come straight out of the pages of those glossy interiors magazines. That is just so yesterday and so pre­


dictable. Instead, today’s style slogan is “cheap chic” - which is basically using imagination and ingenuity and a dash of flair to create beautiful but distinctively personal rooms on a small budget. Just to prove it, super-wealthy


actress Demi Moore has fitted out her newi£3 million Hollywood home, com­ plete with gym and swimming pool, with furniture from Swedish store, Ikea. One of her friends reportedly said:


“Demi is mad about Ikea - and often goes through the catalogue and writes down lists of goods for her people to pick up.” Demi Moore’s bargains have includ­


ed two glass-topped coffee tables, for around £50 each. Interiors author Emily Chalmers


A TOP award has been achieved by Clitheroe student Grace Cradock who has served with the Lancashire Army Cadet Force for more than four years. Each week 17-year-old Grace takes time


from her A-level studies at Blackburn College to attend the Territorial Army Centre, in Blackburn, where she holds the rank of Cadet Colour Sergeant, and she has now reached senior cadet status by achieving the Cadet Four Star Award, a tough test adjudicated by the Regular Army in subjects that include first aid, leadership, social awareness as well as a teaching ability.


Her commanding officer, Colonel Alan Jol­


ley, said of Grace, “We consider her to be a hard-working cadet whose determination and enthusiasm is outstanding". Grace has also been awarded a place at


Frimley Cadet College, in Surrey, where she will take a course for the appointment to Mas­ ter Cadet, the most senior award a cadet can achieve, and will then go on to receiving the coveted Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award, the presentation of which can take place in Buck­ ingham Palace.

Audience is spellbound


VIOLINIST Leland Chen and pianist John Lenehan kept the audience spellbound at the opening concert of the 53rd Season of Clitheroe


Concerts Society. Concerts organiser Margaret Clarke writes: “The


music was at once and in turn familiar, new, virtuosic, romantic and nostalgic. “It was a privilege to move through the musical moods


with these talented performers. De Falla - Danse Espag- nole, so very Spanish! Schubert - Fantasie in C, a virtuosic work. Schubert’s


Ave Maria - so familiar and beautifully played. Wieni- awski - Scherzo Tarantella, a sparkling gem. Fritz Kreisler’s beautiful Rondino from Beethoven. “The climax was Cezar Franck’s Sonata in A Major, a


so familiar melody beautifully developed and transcend­ ed to us. As a bonus, a calm and delicate encore by Elgar concluded the evening. “Some of the audience came from Manchester, Chor-


ley, Bolton and Nelson to hear this wonderful recital.” The next concert is planned for November 12th, when


the Dante String Quartet will play Haydn, Janacek and Brahms.

Cadet service certainly runs in the family as Grace’s mother, Carol, serves with the Lan­ cashire Army Cadet Force as an adult officer. Pictured are parents Mark and Carol

Diabetes talk proves to be very interesting and informative


A TALK and presentation on Type II diabetes was given by Dr. S. Ramtoola, a diabetic consul­ tant at Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary to 33 members of Ribble Valley Diabetic Group. She gave a very interesting and


informative insight into how this con­ dition affects approximately 80% of people diagnosed with diabetes, the main reasons were being overweight, lack of exercise, high blood pressure, smoking and eating the wrong food, b u t she was very optimistic th a t


because of the great advance in'tech­ nology more and better tablets are available to treat the condition, thus enabling a better standard and longer life to be achieved. Dr Ramtoola was thanked by the


chairman, Mr G. Dixon, who also reminded members that at the next meeting, on November 10th, Dr Leigh Griffin, chief executive of Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Primary Care Trust will talk on the standard of care for dia­ betics, which should be available for all patients in the Ribble Valley.


Plea for more speakers is made


WOULD you like to add another string to your bow? Clitheroe Speakers’ Club is current­


ly on the lookout for new members - people who want to learn how to become versatile in “giving a talk”. It promises “fun and fellowship” to


anyone taking up the challenge. The club’s next meeting takes place on Mon­ day, November 3rd, at 7-15 p.m., at the Young Farmers Club at Clitheroe Auc­ tion Mart. Anyone keen to know more should go


along on the night or phone Mrs Dorothy Gertson on 01254 263491.


Enjoyed autumn colours


THE cold north-easterly.wind did not detract from the superb autumn colours enjoyed by seven members of Clitheroe Ramblers’ Association on the walk from the now famous old vil­ lage of Rylstone on Sunday. • A bridleway was taken to the even older


village of Hetton before entering open countryside along Moor Lane. Good views. with clear visibility for most of the way were a feature of the walk with the first of the views being seen from Moor Lane an d ; then Cross Lane. Paths were followed past Owslin Laithe, Scarber Laithe, Mickleber Hill and Howson Laithe before reaching Flasby, the third old Craven village of the, walk. •


^ A, f t A,*.,.,' • ■ ' ‘ A From Flasby the walk followed good


tracks via Septeria Gill and hen woodland before turning to cross Flasby Fell between the two peaks of Sharp Haw and Rough Haw.


• Only one walker was hardy enough to


endure the strong wind a 'th a t stage to ascend to, the trig point on Sharp Hawl On the descent the sun began to shine again and for the remainder of the walk back via Flasby, then Suntergill, Flasby Moor Side, across Calton Gill Beck, under the railway and across fields back to Rylstone, superb views. of the surrounding hills in their autumn colours were much appreciated. The only disappointment of the walk


was that none of the ladies of the. Rylstone WI were identified despite much searching!

needs no convincing of the merits of creating stylish interiors oozing char­ acter by using an eye-catching blend of


High Street basics and junk shop finds. She is the stylist of a new book,


“Cheap Chic”, which brims with ideas for anyone who wants to design a home stylishly without breaking the bank. She says: “Vision is more important


than cash. Money after all can’t buy good taste. Style is instinctive and it can come at a snip as long as you have an eye for beauty as well as a bargain. What makes cheap chic so desirable


is how easy it is to achieve, because there are so many shortcuts. From faking it to making it, there are so many ways to create a to-die-for inte­ rior at prices that will not make your heart stop. First, Emily advises studying your


home to find out what you already have. For instance, peel back tired car­ pets and you may find floorboards fit for painting or varnishing. Reclaim vintage fabrics, and rustic style brick-


work, and invest in some funky loose covers for that tired sofa. The key is to avoid the humdrum -


so do not slavishly buy from only one store, instead mix eras and styles by looking in a variety of places. Ethnic shops, junk stores, auctions, markets and boot sales may yield rich pickings for your soon-to-be stunning home. Emily says: “To get luxury for less


you must be patient. Things don’t turn up overnight. So be choosy and spend wisely. “It is better to spend a little on low


cost necessities and put the savings into an investment buy. That could be a single beautiful object - like a paint­ ing - or a floor that will last a life­ time.” Once you have amassed some trea­


sures, there is an art form in display­ ing them to their best effect so your rooms look trendy, not trashy, and glamorous rather than plain gaudy. There is a myriad of hints and effects revealed in the homes featured


in the book. It all goes to show that you do not have to be wealthy to have a wealth of


style. • “Cheap Chic - Affordable Ideas
