work would begin at the school later this year.


Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, January 29th, 2004 11


' SIXTH form pupils at a local school had plenty to sing about when they swapped the classroom for the stage to raise money towards equipment for a


: day centre. . Wannabe pop-idols from Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School hit the right note when they took part in a pop-idol competition and raised more than


£150 for Pendleton Brook day centre in Clitheroe. Eight finalists performed in front of an audience of more than 300 people and a panel of four,‘.‘cri.tjcis- ing” judges. Organiser Miss Bridget Hartley said: “The com­


petition was a great success. The money raised will be spent on equipment needed for the centre.” Pictured is Pendleton Brook day centre manag­


er Mrs Janet Hallan, Clitheroc Royal Grammar School teacher Mr Stephen Gregory, and Miss Hartley presenting a cheque to one of the day cen­ tre users, Mr Donald Kennedy. (K200104/6)
