THE River Ribble has become a te s t case for a new way in which the envi­ ronment is managed. . ^ Under a system known as


the Water Framework Direc­ tive, the focus will be on the health of the water ecosystem' as a whole. •. It will use as its benchmark


for quality the condition the river would be in its natural state; one that is untouched by human activities. -

which is a mixed group and has a wide age range among its members. Most of these are dedicated hill and moun­


tain walkers, plus a strong core group of rock climbers, ice climbers and alpinists. 'There are several skiers in the group and some members are active in the “fringe” mountain sports of mountain biking, ski-mountaineering and paragliding. Anyone from the walker and hill photoga-


pher to the hard-rock climber and ice athlete is welcome to join. Current members are keen to see more younger people joining and get­ ting interested in the variety of activities, plus enjoying the bonus of expert advice. CMC indoor meets are held on the third


Thursday of the month at Clitheroe Cricket Club on Chatbum Road, starting at 8 p.m. At these meets members show slides of their


own trips and guest speakers are invited for presentations. There are also regular day and weekend meets.

“Science in Sport is obviously very pleased to be able to sponsor Bradley, as he is with­ out doubt one of Britain’s best cycling tal­ ents to win a World title at the age of 23. “We were also impressed with the fact


that he had been using our products since he was 13 years old, so it made sense to spon­

League tables show Valley schools in enviable positions


-SCHOOLS in the Ribble Valley all feature towards the top of the secondary school league tables in Lancashire. Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is pipped


TWO local-men had the right tools to earn themselves the top prize in a national agri­ cultural machinery competition. After inventing a three-point linkage


i eic


mounted machine, designed to unroll and ten­ sion wire fencing, area contractor Mr John Brewer, of Dinckley and Mr Stephen Raw- cliffe, of Copster Green, were awarded the first prize at the annual Lincolnshire Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Association. The growing reputation, of the annual two-


day event, which is now in its 23rd year, attracted exhibitors from all over the country, and interest was expressed by viritors from as


far as China and Brazil. Commenting on their success, Mr Brewer, said: “We are really hon­ oured to have won. “It was the first year that LAMMA includ­


ed the Farm Inventions category, and the machine that we designed was unique. “Myself and Stephen both came up with


the idea to invent the machine, but had no idea that we would win.” Pictured is Mr Brewer (right) recei-ving the


trophy for the best farm invention category, from chairman of the show committee, Mr Tony Lighten, (s)


at the very top by Lancaster Girls' Grammar School, but is then followed by Stonyhurst College (12th), St Augustine's RC High School (14th), Rowland County High School (23rd), OakhiirCollege (25th), Ribblesdale High School Technology College (29th) and Moorland School (44th). There are 98 schools featured in the county. CRGS scored 100% in the percentage of pupils gaining five or more GCSEs at grades


A* to C or their vocational equivalent. The national average is 52.9%. The school’s aver­ age points score per pupil for all GCSEs in 2003 was 57.5 and the “value added measure” which shows how much difference a school has made to performance, i.e. how well pupils per­ formed at age 16 compared with expectations


based on test results at 14,102.2%. In A-lev- els, the average points score per candidate was 392.2 against the national average of 258.6. Stonyhurst College, with 76% GCSE,


achieved an A-level points score of 328.4. St Augustine’s achieved 75% GCSE, 42


points and 100.3 “value added”. Rowland scored 70% GCSE, 40 points and 100.8 “value added”, Oakhill 69% GCSE, 31.8 points, Ribblesdale 67% GCSE, 38.6 points and 99.5 “value added”. Moorland 57% GCSE, 32.4 points and 96.7 “value added.” Bowland and St Augustine’s had figures of


0.2 truancy, the percentage of unauthorised half-days missed by pupils, and Ribblesdale 0.4. The national average is 1.1%. The league tables are based on the 2003


examination results. They include all inde­ pendent and state secondary schools and are compiled from data supplied by the Depart­ ment for Education and Skills.

IT was the best day of the year so far and produced a record number of Clitheroe Ramblers for Saturday’s route which started high on the road


above Holden, to Champion Moor. Going first through Fells Farm,


Shays and Meadow Top, there were -views all round to Pendle, Weets, the Bowland Fells and the Yorkshire giants. Snipe, curlew and lapwing were sighted by many of the party.


L The complicated route, led by Pat


Parrott, went through Anna Land to the ruined farmhouse of Champion, then crossed moorland to the trian- gulation cairn above Black Moss, where again the views were spectacu­ lar. The walk seldom lost much height and lunch was taken'in mellow sunshine in the shelter of the high intake walls above Higher Edge. After passing Harrop Lodge and Lit­

ning for all streams, lakes, estu­ aries and groundwater. . • This win ensure planning is


put in place for whole river basins with the objective of


: maintaining-what the directive calls “good status”. ' : The River Ribble and its


tributaries drain 820 square miles of countryside, from high


1


moorland to busy industrial towns, through intensely farmed areas. ■ Since the launch in June


. 2003 of the Ribble Pilot River Basin Project, the entire catch­ ment area has become a testing ground where practical details are being worked into the out­ line of WFD.


•


-' The holistic- approach includes a reappraisal of drainage and land use, includ­ ing the replanting of wetland plants and trees on riversides and floodplains, to ease rainwa­ ter runoff to streams and rivers, thus helping prevent flooding at times of high rainfall. Mr Peter Fox, River Ribble


project manager said that the impact of the directive now largely depends on how-Europe decides to define “good status”. He added: “Even if the final


definition has to come down a notch or two from the “natural state” benchmark, then WFD will be a huge leap forward - a quantum leap.” .
