■THERE were Easter eggs galore for an end-of-term fund-raising event at Oakhill College, Whalley. The school's parents’ association held


an Easter Egg Bingo. The children, who had previously donated one or more East­ er eggs of various sizes, attended the event with their parents. A professional caller was engaged, the bingo machine duly installed and it was


eyes down for a couple of hours’ great fun and laughter.


\ To participate, each player had to pay £1 for a strip of bingo cards, and prizes were awarded for winning lines, corners and a full house. Th event was so well attended that the sum of £250 was raised for school funds. Pictured is Clitheroe pupil Rachel Cor­ nish keeping a firm grip on her prize, (s)

IN T E R E S T in .S to n y h u rs t College and i ts prep arato ry school St Mary’s Hall is a t an all-time high. The college’s website is


increasingly popular and 30,000 “hits”, are recorded every week, says the Easter newsletter. As head Mr Adrian Aylward


points out, news is added to the site as it happens and parents of existing and potential pupils can obtain an excellent insight into college life. . Soon the former pupils’group,


the Stonyhurst Association, will join. The St Mary’s Hall site is also linked.


, Overall academic progress at:


i the college is very encouraging, says Mr Aylward, illustrated by some outstanding. AS and A2 modular results and 10% of leavers obtaining Oxbridge offers. The college’s ongoing invest­


ment in sporting facilities and training is reflected in good results. “I t is pleasing to see so many


pupils actively involved in teams in such a wide v a rie rty of sports,” writes Mr Aylward. “We have a busy fixture


schedule and the pupils have once again demonstrated the

A BOOST to young people’s sport in the Ribble Valley was given by the Mayor, Coun Mrs Joyce Holgate. She handed out cheques to a large group of


young people who have excelled in a wide spectrum of sporting activities. The money, of various amounts ranging


between £500 and £100, goes to help the young people with their training needs, travel­


ling costs to competitions or cost of equip­ ment. Top award went to teenage junior world


champion canoeist Jonathon Schofield, of Sawley. Other cheques went to boys and girls who


excel in netball, modern pentathlon, cricket, swimming, athletics, biathlon, javelin, ski-ing and tennis. Pictured is Coun. Mrs Holgate with Laura


Alston, Samantha Murray, Elizabeth High- ton, Mark Jaggs, Paul Jaggs, Jonathan Schofield, Anna Griffiths, Bryn Phillips, Stephanie Novak, Laura Marlow, William Latham, Jenna Woodcock and Ryan Gladwin. Five others, Daniel Wyatt, Thea Smith,


Anna Rowlandson, Elizabeth Thomas and Daniel Noblett, were unable to be present. (K140403/7)


New ambulances hit the roads


F IFT E EN new-generation emer­ gency ambulances are on the road m the county. Lancashire Ambulance Service


has taken delivery of the new vehi­ cles and staff have been trained in th e o p e ra t io n of th e fa c i li tie s , which include ta i l l i f ts and hydraulically-operated stretchers. The vehicles, which, when fully


equipped, cost some £90,000 each, carry the very latest.m lifesaving equipment, including 12 lead ECG machines which can tra n sm i t


information on a pa tien t’s condi­ tion directly into hospital while the ambulance is en-route. Operations manager Mr Gordon


Rolfe, who has headed the Vehicle Task Team, said that the new vehi­ cles represent the “state of the a r t” and will help paramedics to care for their patients while also reducing the amount of heavy lift ing involved, lessening the chances of back injuries sustained by staff. Mr David Hill, Chief Executive


of Lancashire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, welcomed the intro­

duction of the new vehicles. He explained: “All our frontline emer­ gency ambulances are less than five years old and we have a very mod­ ern and reliable fleet. “ I welcome th e co n tr ib u t io n


which staff make in influencing the design of each new batch of ambu­ lances to ensure that we continually improve and reflect best practice. “Each year our staff respond to


more and more 999 calls and we must ensure that the vehicles are up to the demands we place on them in the interest of patient care.”


Scout cairn


IN la s t week's report of Clitheroe Ramblers' vis it to Pendle Hill's sum­ mit, we incorrectly referred to the loca­ tion of the photo­ graph as being by th e controversial Scouts' cairn. The ramblers


were, in fact, stand­ ing by the shelter, near th e Scouts' cairn looking North North-East.
