for parents and children PARENTS and children from Pendle Primary School, Clitheroe, got together for a fantastic walk in the country side around Barley. Two walks were organised by
the Friends of Pendle School. They were a two-mile route
for toddlers and a four-mile route for older children. The event provided the
opportunity for parents and children to get together for a free social event outside school.
Country walk proves a hit Stephanie Zak, who planned
the routes, said: “It was a great day, the weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed them selves. “I t will be a definite diary
entry for next year.” More than 25 parents and
children j oined the two-mile walk while a smaller number tackled the more challenging four-mile route. Our picture shows some of those who took part, (s)

Weekly hospice lottery winners
THE first prize of £1,000 in the East Lancashire Hospice weekly lot tery was won by Mrs Linda Hard ing, of Blackburn. Second prize of
£250 went to Mrs Stella Green, of Clitheroe, and third prizewinner was Mrs Mary Almond, of Blackburn, with £100.
David Franzoni, who wrote "Gladiator", will claim that Arthur was half British, half Roman, and led a group of warriors, including Lancelot (loan Gruffud) and Bors (Ray Winstone), from head quarters in the North of England.
Archaeological evidence
shows tha t a close-knit community led by a Lucius Artorius Castus, or Arthur, did indeed live at a Roman fort in Ribchester in the 2nd Century. Ribble Valley Borough
Council's tourism and arts officer Jane Silvester said the latest movie link was fantastic news.
"This is great for the
area, particularly on the back of the interest gener
ated by the Tolkien con nection and "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy.
"The Ribble Valley is
steeped in heritage and is increasingly being brought
into the limelight by these epic films. “This is fantastic news
for the local tourism indus try and I am certainly looking forward to seeing the film."
The film sees Arthur
and his men fighting Woads, cunning and fero cious adversaries from north of Hadrian’s Wall, led by Merlin (Stephen Dillane), who is not a twee magician, but a potently mysterious shaman. Arthur and his men are
asked to rescue a Roman family from the wild lands north of the wall and along the way encounter Guinevere (Keira Knight ley), a sword-wielding Woad Queen, who falls in love with Arthur and attempts to bring her peo ple over to his side to fight a common enemy, the Sax ons.
