CHURCHGOERS at West Bradford decided for the first time to hold an Easter fair to raise much-needed money for church funds. Saturday’s event was


so successful, said deputy churchwarden Mrs Jean Chew, that it will probably become an annual event. At the end of a busy


day in the grounds of the church and in the Sunday school hall, the organisers realised a profit of £555. Attractions included


a brac-a-brac stall, cake stall, green and yellow stall, a “jarola”, a raffle, and refresh­ ments in the hall. In our picture,


church members admire the Easter bon­ net worn by Mrs Joyce Greenwood. (K190403/4)

schools in the Blackburn area are concerned at proposals to reduce place numbers. Protest, meetings and a petition have been organised. ■ The cut is suggested by Lancashire Coun­


ty Council, m line with government policy. I t means that some special needs children


will have to be placed m mainstream schools. Most parents are against this and Ribble Val­ ley ones have joined others in protesting about the move. '-/ They fear that the youngsters will be bul­


lied; and say that experience shows educa­ tional progress is much below that achieved in special schools:


‘"■Now some parents at least have been sur­ prised’that the county council has told the Advertiser, and Times that, if the plans are implemented, it will not be for some years. -


They thought the mainstream move would


take place soon. ■ But the county council says th a t it will affect the children of the future and not cur­ rent children. A spokesman said that the decision would


be made in June and councillors would take into account all views expressed. The current proposal would cut the number of special school places m the county as a whole by 400, with about 30 less for Ribble Valley children. ■ The Government’s policy was attacked by


delegates to the National Union of Teachers’ conference. They emphasised that there were enough problems m schools already and hav­ ing to deal with special needs children made them worse for all concerned. Local parents are now taking up the tim­


ing of the place reductions with the county council. They want to know why the situa­ tion was not made clearer to them.

Villagers ret life-saving


R E S ID EN T S in two neighbour ing Ribble Valley villages have responded quickly to an appeal to set up a life­ saving organisation. In only three months


23 volunteers have come forward in Read and Simonstone and they have all been trained so th a t they can go on the streets and save lives. The Community First


Responder team is part of the Heart of Lancashire Appeal, a group which is dedicated to act as an emergency back-up for the community. Local co-ordinator Mr


Matthew Woods said: “The first eight minutes after someone has suf­ fered a suspected heart attack are vital. The vic­ tim’s chances of survival drop-by 10% as each minute goes by, so getting help quickly can be a matter between life and death.” He said the volunteers
