ENGLAND rugby star Will Greenwood was tackled by some determined supporters when he dropped in for an informal visit and chat with


Old boy drops in and tells tales of Rugby World Cup


present-day pupils at his for­ mer school.


Pupils mainly from Years


5, 6 and 7 at St Mary’s Hall, the preparatory school for


Stonyhurst College, were keen to hear about Will’s time as a pupil at St Mary’s Hall and about his Rugby World Cup exploits.


Will, who had called to see


his mother, Susan, a teacher at the prep school, was happy to oblige.


Later he was kept busy


signing scores of autograph from eager fans. Pictured is rugby star Wil Greenwood with pupils fron Stonyhurst college, (s)


TODDLERS dressed as their favourite book characters and enjoyed a feast of storytelling at Pendle Pre-school. A visiting librarian held the chil­


dren spellbound with stories when she visited the pre-school group’s home at Clitheroe Rugby Club. The event was organised in con­ junction with World Book Day,


which aims to encourage reading with children. Pictured here are some of the


toddlers in their fancy dress out­ fits. (s)


Sign up for under 10s


soccer squad WOULD-BE Wayne Rooney’s from across the ‘ Ribble Valley can now nurture their talent in style with the help of Police Community Sup­ port Officer Jason Taylor. He has taken charge of


the Whalley Junior Under 10s team for the 2004/05 season, to improve rela­ tionships between young people and the police. Jason volunteered to


assist the squad when it was struggling to find a manager for the new sea­ son. If you are aged between


nine and ten and would like to sign-up for the new season, turn up for the first pre-season training session on Monday, July 12th, at 6-15 p.m, at the Queen Elizabeth II play­ ing fields in Whalley.


Charity shop is in need of help


THE Sue Ryder Care shop is looking for new volun­ teers since its refurbish­ ment, which has led to its busiest time on record. Staff and volunteers at the


popular shop, at Castlegate, in ' Clitheroe, are delighted with the success, but need help to handle the increase in cus­ tomers and donations of stock. Shop manager Ilaria


Ronchetti, said: “We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support we have received since we re-opened. “We rely on our loyal volun­


teers to make the shop a suc­ cess and we are always looking


for new volunteers to join the team.


“Whether people can spare a


couple of hours once a month, or a full day every week, we want to hear from them. “In return, we can offer a


fun and rewarding volunteer­ ing experience, where people know their time is helping to make a real difference to the lives of so many people cared for in our care centres.” The funds raised through


all of Sue Ryder Care shops - including Clitheroe - help to support the specialised work of the charity’s 18 care centres throughout the country. The centres provide hospice


and specialist neurological care services for people with a wide range of conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, motor- neurone disease and acquired brain injuries. Ilaria added: “We already


have some of the best volun­ teers around, but we are look­ ing for many more people to help us in the busy times to come.


“Volunteers help us with all


aspects of the business from stock preperation to merchan­ dising and sales.” To find out more about vol­


unteering in the shop contact Ilaria on 01200 442178.

Topless carwash in rain!


UNSEASONAL show­ ers on Saturday did not


dampen the spirits of


organisers who set up a special topless car wash service.


Visitors who attend­


ed the event held at Clitheroe Rugby Club got more than they bar­ gained when half-naked


rugby players glistened and shined cars to raise -


money for Pendle Pre- School.


A fun day also took


place in the afternoon and attractions includ­ ed a barbecue, bouncy castle, stalls, balloon race, face painting, rides and a bar.


Co-organiser and


fund-raiser for the pre­ school, which meets at the club’s Littlemoor Road base, Mrs Maria Bird, said: “Everyone had a great time. “Despite the poor


weather later in the day, people turned out in force to support the event. More than £500 was raised on the day, which will go towards buying a new cabinet and a noticeboard to be used by both the pre­ school and the rugby club members.”


Bike taken


A METALLIC purple bike worth £120 was stolen from the garden of a house in Littlemoor Road, in Clitheroe on Friday evening.


PUPILS in Hodder and Ribble teams at Ribblesdale High School Technology College decided to be “Good Sports” when they donned a variety of sporty outfits for a special charity non-uniform day. The pupils already sponsor a


nine-year-old boy in Kenya, called Joseph, and needed to raise the funds to continue with this for another year. The pupils donated £1 each and any remaining money will be sent to the “Sport Relief” charity. “Most pupils joined in with the


sporting theme and we held a small competition between the teams,” said Hodder team leader Mrs Julie Briggs. In total more than £200 was


raised. “We also liked the idea of pro­


moting sport and raising money at the same time, especially in an Olympic year,” commented Miss Dawn Robinson, Ribble team leader. The winners of the inter-team


competition were, in Hodder, Sarah Hampson and Ben Ander­ son, and in Ribble, Joel Price, Hannah Delaney and Sophie Miller. In other news from the busy Clitheroe high school, three Year


11 pupils have been rewarded for excellent commitment to their school work, under the new rewards initiative introduced at the start of the year. As well as academic attainment,


it is important to recognise the effort pupils make in their chosen subjects and therefore Upper School pupils have a rewards week at the end of each term where they receive achievement award stickers for sustained effort in their GCSE subjects. I t is possible to achieve nine


stickers at the end of a term and two pupils have achieved this max­ imum number in both terms this year. Adam Sharpley and Cather­ ine Price have put the maximum effort into every single subject, which is an outstanding achieve­ ment and highlights their dedica­ tion to their studies in their final year. In the leavers’ assembly both


pupils were congratulated and were delighted to receive the KS4 award of £75 each for their efforts. Awards are also presented to


those pupils who have achieved 100% attendance at the end of each term. Pupils who achieve this are rewarded with a certificate to put into their Records of Achieve­ ment. However, one Year 11 pupil a t Ribblesdale, Thomas Fair-


clough, has not had a single day off in the past five years - an incredible achievement and very rare! As well as a very special certifi­


cate, Thomas will receive a £50 reward to recognise his incredible commitment, and this will be pre­ sented at the annual prize evening held later in the year. Ribblesdale is keen to encourage


and reward excellent attendance, as poor attendance undoubtedly has an effect on pupils’ education, and next year the school will extend its rewards system with a new attendance initiative. This will include bronze, silver


and gold awards for attendance, a termly competition for tutor groups and specific communica­ tion to parents via school newslet­ ters. Hopefully more pupils next year will receive rewards for their attendance as well as successful marks for their school work. Year 10 pupils have also enjoyed


success with a rewards assembly for excellent profiles. A total of 88 pupils received certificates for their Record of Achievement and there was a prize draw at the end. Three pupils managed to attain


grade one for effort in every single subject, which is superb. They are Rebecca Carter, Abbie Clegg and Jenna Woodcock.
