A trip back in time aids charity group


by Faiza Afzaal


WHEN Whalley resident Marion Sycamore decided to write a book in 1984, she had no idea how long it would take her to finish. Now 20 years later, with the help and


encouragement of her friends and family, the 72-year-old is not only overwhelmed to see the book published, but is delight­ ed to have sold hundreds of copies and have raised £675 for charity. The book entitled “Oss Bob ’n’ Dog


Nell” is the story of Marion’s interesting and often difficult life through childhood, the war and living in public houses. But perhaps the most engaging aspect

of the read is her passion for animals, especially horses, which brought her to breeding champion thoroughbred horses and later purebred Persian cats.


Struggles Powerfully written, Marion begins the


book by offering an insight into the living conditions and struggles she and her fam­ ily had to face during and after the war. But her love for horses and ponies is


evident from the very beginning. In fact, the opening sentence of the


book reads “I want a pony.” As the book progresses, Marion deals


with many aspects of buying, owning and later breeding horses.


She talks about joining riding schools and later starting a pony club called the


Wiswell Rebels, which became very pop­ ular. As she visited several riding clubs, she


became aware th a t there were lots of adult riders who needed help and as a result set up a number of riding clubs


including the Whalley Equestrian Riding Group.


Marion has funded the book herself


with the generous cash amount of £675 towards the Kidney Research fund, a char­ ity close to her family’s heart. “Oss Bob ’n’ Dog Nell” is a lively read


which touches the heart strings. Marion’s re-telling of her childhood is


honest and her obvious heartfelt concern for the welfare of horses is refreshing. • You can win a copy of this truly inspi­


rational-book with remarkable photographs throughout by answering the simple ques­ tion in the panel on the right: Pictured is Marion presenting the cheque


to a delighted representative from the char­ ity. (C220304/7)

celebrations were as eventful as ever this year. The egg rolling competition, organised and judged


J The children roll their brightly-decorated, hard-


boiled eggs down a ramp into a drawn-out circle. The eggs that roll the farthest are the winners, and those that roll out of the circle are disqualified. One child


even brought in a goose egg, but unfortunately it was a bit of a slow starter. The winners from each class were; infant one


Eleanor Bolton, infant two Bethan McKeating, infant three Eliza Trickett, infant four Hannah Downs, Year


PRIMARY SCHOOL’S annual Easter


yearly by Mr Derek Pickup was an eggstra-ordinarv success.


3 Molly Durkin, Year 4 William Spenceley-Jones, Year 5 Callum Blane and year six Patrick Hill. One winner not to be forgotten was Mr Brian Beresford, who won the staff race, with a “borrowed” egg. The morning’s events continued with all four of the


infant classes making Easter bonnets before the com­ petition, which was judged by Mrs Sheila Dawson.


The morning was rounded off with an egg hunt for the infant classes. More than 50 parents attended the activities before


making their way over to the church where the Easter Service ceremony took place. Picture shows pupils at Whalley Primary School taking part in the egg rolling event. (B020404/1)

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, April 15th, 2004 15 man who swopped seats by Court Reporter


PUB en te r ta in e r Philip Clayton and his girlfriend sang from different hymn sheets after police saw their car leave a Clitheroe pub car park late a t night. Blackburn magistrates heard


that while Clayton said his part­ ner had been behind the wheel, she admitted th a t they had


changed places after realising the police were following them. Clayton (38), of Beacon Fell


Caravan Park, Higher Road, Longridge, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, driv­ ing while disqualified and driv­ ing without insurance. He was made subject to a


community rehabilitation order for 12 months, ordered to do 50 hours’ community punishment, disqualified from driving for


four years and ordered to pay £50 costs. Clayton, who gave a


blood/alcohol reading of 94 against the legal limit of 80, agreed to be referred to the drink-drive rehabilitation pro­ gramme which, if completed successfully, would reduce his ban by up to 25%. Mr Neil White (prosecut­


ing) said Clayton and his girl­ friend were seen leaving the Brown Cow in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, at 12-40 a.m. Police officers followed the car until it stopped, at which


stage the officers saw move­ ment inside the vehicle. “In an attempt to deceive


the officers, his partner, Carol Taylor, climbed into the driv­ er’s seat and Clayton sat in the back,” said Mr White. “Clayton carried on the


deception when he was inter­ viewed at the police station, but, unfortunately for him, she had been more honest when questioned. She admitted they had swopped seats.” The court heard that Clay­


ton had two previous convic­ tions for drink-driving.

Primary children star in video of product launch


C H I P P I N G ’S B r a b i n s Endowed Primary School was recently involved with helping a company to launch its new product. Pupils at the school made a


video for the launch of Johnson Diversey’s new innovation “SafePack”, which aims to improve the safety of industri­ al dishwashing. The theme of the launch was


“SafePack, so safe, it makes dishwashing child’s play”. The launch took place a t


Butlins earlier this year and centred around three contes­ tants on a game show, who had to guess words the children were describing. A professional film crew were


employed, who came to the school for the day. Children were taken in groups and asked to describe words such as “safe” and “simple” without using the actual words. After fours hours of shoot­


ing, the film was then edited to fill 10 minutes at the launch. Project leader Vanessa Col-


clough recently came back to the school to thank the chil­ dren for their contribution and presented the school with a donation. Head teacher Mrs Glynis


Goldsborough said: “The film­ ing was a great experience for the children who were allowed to see behind the camera and see clips of the filming.”


Job opportunities for all


SCHOOL and college leavers from the Ribble Valley discov­ ered what career opportunities lay ahead at a recent training event. Dominic Brown, (16), pic­


tured, from Chatburn, was just one of the young people who attended the Training 2000 event, which allowed them to meet representatives of more than 20 employers throughout Lancashire offer­ ing Modern Apprenticeships over the coming year. Current apprentices were


also on hand to demonstrate the facilities th a t Training 2000 offers. As well as Modern Appren­ ticeships in traditional engi­


neering and motor vehicle disci­ plines, opportunities in a broad range of other career areas including construction, health care and business were on offer.
