A path of pennies and sale of tasty buns boost Children In Need appeal


CHILDREN a t Gisburn Primary School had a tremendous time last week raising the grand total of £442.12 in just two days for Children In Need. On Thursday the children from Class Three sold


978 buns to fellow pupils who had arrived a t school with empty boxes ready to be filled with delicious treats. The next day saw the whole school busily laying


a trail of pennies around the playground. , When every coin was laid end to end and mea­


sured, the trail stretched for 396.24 metres and had raised the total of £198.12. This meant th a t in just two days the children


had raised almost £450 for Children In Need. Mrs Stephanie Dugdale, Class Three teacher,


said: “I t was a fantastic team effort with children, staff and parents all showing how much they care about children who have less than themselves.” . Our picture shows children a t Gisburn School laying the trail of pennies, (s)

Climbers look back over year


AT Clitheroe mountaineering dubh annual meeting last Thursday the retiring chairman, Mr Nick Mill- ward, reported th at the long, dry summer had resulted in a successful year with a new membership of more than 50 people, which includes some new young members. Weekend visits to various mountineering club


huts have been well attended, and the excellent weather has encouraged the majority of the mem- bers to take their holidays in the UK, with Cornwall proving to be a popular veriua Two members of the dub, Mr Godfrey Metcalfe


and Mr Nick Millward, took part in the Karrimor International Mountain Marathon, a gruelling two- day orienteering event with an overnight camp held this year in the Scottish Borders between Langholm and Hawick. Though the weather was untypically good, the


pair’s running shoes were frozen rock solid by the time they were wakened at 6 am. on Sunday fry the customary bagpipes. In conclusion Mr Millward thanked all the comit-


tee for the smooth running of indoor and outdoor meets this year. As a special thank-you a presentation of flowers was made for the retiring secretary Mis Sue Hem-


bury A special mention was made of those venturing


further afield, induding Mr John Beard who cyded from Clitheroe, through France to Santiago de Compostela in north west Spain, following the andent pilgrim road and back. Miss Amanda Reddy, Mr Tony Halliwell and


Mr George Wolstenholme also made climbing vis­ its to the Alps and Dolomites. Presenting the dub’s balance sheet, retiring trea­


surer Mr Mike Carter, stated that the finances were healthy due to the redept of substantial member­ ship fees and recomendoi that charges need not be increased for the coming year. Indoor meetings and outdoor meets organisers,


Miss Reddy and Mrs Val Grooby, outlined events planned for 2004, which indude an illustrated lec­ ture on climbing Everest’s north ridge by Mountain Equipment employee Mr Kieran McKenzie, a visit from the Bowland Pennine mountain rescue team and a talk about winter climbing in the French Alps. Outdoor venues indude weekend hut meets in Pat-' terdale, Llanberis, the Ogwen valley, Coniston and Keswick. Officers deeted for the coming year are chairman


Mrs Paula Carter, vice- chairman Mr Shaun Woodard, secretary Mr Nick Millward, treasurer Mr Frank Taylor, outdoor meets co-ordinator Mrs Valerie Grooby, and indoor meetings organ­ iser Miss AmandaReddy., . J;; ' ™ Vi The club’s annual dinner will be held a t the
