Four Blackburn College students have achieved first class honours degrees in Law. Clare ward from Darwen, Nick Harris from Helmshore, Rachel Brown from Colwyn Bay and Deborah Parkinson from Bolton chose to study Law at Blackburn College.A further success for Nick came when he won the Ivor Griffith Memorial Award for


excellence in Consumer Law, beating off stiff opposition from students at the University of Glamorgan. Three of the students took the part time route while Rachel studied the two-year HND legal studies, which provided her with a solid foundation to progress onto the two year LLB fast track programme.

graduates, this year we have the country's first


■ students to have progressed .from Foundation Degrees to take Honours degrees. Paul Wilson and Wayne .Biggs went from the

Special party to bid farewell to toddlers


DUNSOP BRIDGE Toddler Group wished its youngsters well on their transition to Thor- neyholme RC Primary School at a recent


farewell party. Last Wednesday’s usual


toddler group session was extended and after com­ pleting the art entries for the Hodder Valley Show, the group went to the vil­ lage play area for a picnic lunch, races and presenta­ tion of good luck cards to the leavers. Flowers were also pre­


sented showing the group’s appreciation to the par­ ents of the children who are leaving and thanking them for their organisa­ tional help and support in recent years. The toddler group is run


by the parents of pre­ school children and meets on a weekly basis on a Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 11-30 a.m. in the village hall. The session comprises


free play, which can incor­ porate a walk and an art or craft activity and give children and parents the opportunity to develop their social skills.


L If you are interested in finding out more about the group contact Rachel Carr


on 01200 448228. Our picture shows toddlers attending their last ses­ sion at the toddler group.
