Helping to make wishes come true
Da n CERS from a Clitheroe school have donated £400 to a local charity, which helps make wishes come true for terminally-ill children.
Pupils from the Angela Westwell
School of Dance, on Moor Lane, raised the money for the “Make-a-Wish” Foundation, through a raffle held dur
ing the schools show, “Musical May hem”. Around 200 children from across the
Ribble Valley took part in the three- night show, which took place in June. The school also donated £1,000 to
the haemophilia society and a printer to the Royal Children's Hospital. Picture shows Angela Westwell and dancers presenting the cheque to

‘Spooked’ in a good cause!
A RIBBLE VALLEY woman is willing to be spooked for the night after arrang ing a sponsored sleepover at Samlesbury
Hall. Mrs Mandy Paul (36) who runs Hud
son Ices, in Chatbum, along with her sis ter, Mrs Linda Hayhurst (49) of Earby, have volunteered to spend a night of mys tery at the haunted hall, near Blackburn, in a bid to raise funds for its deteriorating
roof. The shop owner, who has a keen inter
est in the spirit world, heard about the problem while on a recent visit to the hall with her children and was keen to help.
She commented-.'Tt’s a good opportuni
ty to experience something that really fas cinates me, while also raising money for a
good cause.” The brave sisters will be sleeping in the
Great Hall, which is the oldest part of the building and which is without any elec tricity, during early November. The 14th Century hall, which has been
owned by trustees since the 1920s, is a popular tourist attraction for the area, but needs to raise £250,000 to repair the
entire roof. If you would like to sponsor the pair,
please contact Mrs Paul on 01200 441305. J ”- / ,U' . F'OUH !’■ : POU/,0 ^4.00-00- ■ bO,rt:i < HSBc iBU C, ; .

Grandad’s rally for saving charity
by Faiza Afzaal
A GRATEFUL Read grandfather, who had a near-fatal accident earlier this year, got into gear recently to give something back to the charity that saved his life. Mr David Heap, of. Whalley Road, drove
approximately 35 miles in his 1929 Austin, to raise money for the North-West Air Ambulance. On January 16th, the 63-year-old fell in
a ditch while on his way to his daughter’s house across some fields in Read. Luckily, at the time, Mr Heap had his mobile phone with him and dialled 999 to
call the emergency services. Despite a three-hour extensive search,
the paramedics were unable to find him because it was dark and it was then when
the charity’s helicopter arrived on the scene and located Mr Heap. He was flown to Burnley General Hospi
tal in a matter of minutes and was treated for a compound fracture to his left leg. On Sunday, Mr Heap got behind the
wheel of his 75-year-old car, which has a top speed of 25 m.p.h., to drive to the life saving charity’s Blackpool base. Re-living his winter ordeal, he said: “If it
n
wasn’t for the North West Air Ambulance, I wouldn’t be here today. “It was dark, cold and I couldn’t get up.
I class myself very lucky to have had my mobile phone with me and am thankful
precious to the elderly and people living in remote areas and I would like to raise as much money as I can to help them contin ue with the good work that they are doing” The planned route - mainly through vil-
that the helicopter was able to locate me “The air ambulance service is extremelv
lages - saw the former car dealer complete the journey in two hours.
He set off from his house at 9-30 a.m
drove through Whalley, Hurst Green, Lon- gridge, then passed through Blackpool Road in Preston, going onto Lytham St
Annes until he arrived at his destination at 11-30 a.m. On his arrival, Mr Heap was welcomed
by officials from the air ambulance, who explained to him the several different stages of flying out to an emergency. Commenting on the eventful day, the
qualified motor mechanic, said: “Apart from the weather, the day turned out exactly as I expected and the car didn’t even break dovra once!”
Mr Heap is now in the process of collect
ing all the sponsor money, but if anyone is interested in sponsoring him, they can do so by calling him on 01282 680245. Having tackled the challenge, Mr Heap
is pictured in front of his vintage car. (G140904/4)
Facelift and IT suite for Valley school
by Vivien Meath
A RIBBLE Valley school with origins dating back to the 19th century has come bang up-to-date, with the
emphasis very much on IT. Barrow Primary School, which first
opened its doors in 1881, now boasts a new classroom, school hall, computerised library and IT suite after a refurbishment costing more than £250,000. The addition of a hall means the school
can now house a pre-school playgroup, after-school provision and the 119 pupils no longer have to be taken to another school by bus for PE lessons. Parents will also benefit from the new
I j •I
facilities as they will be offered an ICT course to allow them to keep up with their children's computer skills and in the new year courses will be introduced for the local community in the evenings. According to headteacher Christine Marchi, the new IT suite, kitted out by P3 Computers of Burnley, is a clear sign of how the school has moved with the times. “We have 119 children in the school and over 30 computers, which is well within the one to eight DFES requirements,” she said. “The computers are used across all depart ments to both develop the children’s learn
ing in individual subjects and enhance their IT skills in general. "In addition to the sheer volume of PCs, P3 Computers have also assisted with the implementation of other education-driven technology such as interactive white boards, which are ideal for classroom demonstrations. The school contributed £25,000 towards
the cost of the building project, with Lan cashire County Council covering the rest of the funds. The Friends of Barrow group has also been busy raising funds to buy books for the new library. Lancashire County Council's Cabinet
Member for Education, Coun. Alan Whit taker, said: "I am thrilled that the school will benefit from such fantastic new ameni ties and will be working together so closely with the local community. Every child matters in Lancashire and small village schools have an important part to play." Barrow Primary will be holding an Open
Day on October 7th, between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., giving prospective parents, children and members of the local community the chance to witness their facilities first-hand. Pictured are Barrow pupils Lewis Roth-
well (nine) and Jessica Miller (10), trying out a computer in the new IT suite, watched by headteacher Christine Marchi and Marc Storey of P3 Computers, (s)
Cambridge beckoned Claudia
A PUPIL at Stonyhurst College achieved an outstanding result in this year’s A-levels, being placed in the top five out of 12,640 candi dates in the Biology “B” exam. Eighteen-year-old Claudia
