Six men are imprisoned after vicious pub attack
EIGHT men have plead ed guilty to affray acting in “joint enterprise” fol lowing a violent incident in the Talbot Arms in Chipping in December 2003. The incident happened
on December 27th last year, just before midnight, when the eight men entered the public house on Talbot Street, Chip ping, and attacked a 23- year-old local man leaving him with facial and neck injuries. The police were called
to the scene and, following inquiries, the eight men were arrested. They all pleaded guilty
to affray and were sen tenced at Preston Crown Court. Five of the men, all in
their late teens, each received three months custody in a Young Offender Institute. They were Kenny Hayhurst (19), from Thomley, near Longridge; Gary Slater (19), from Chelwood Close, Poulton-le-Fylde; Simon Cookson (18), from Northgate, Goos- nargh; Robert Shorrock (18), from Ford Lane, Goosnargh, and Ben jamin Rainford (18), from Lower Lane, Longridge. Martin Hayhurst (21),
from Thomley, near Lon gridge, received three- months imprisonment and two 17-year-old youths, who cannot be identified due to their age, each received a 180-hour community punishment order. Following the sentenc
ing, Inspector Bob Ford, officer in charge of polic ing in the Ribble Valley, commented: "This inci dent was particularly vio lent and on a scale rarely experienced in the Ribble Valley. “The sentences imposed
on these men should serve to warn others that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated in our com munities and cases of vio lence will be treated extremely seriously."

EVEN at just six years old. Max Hickling is wild at art! Young Max, a Year 1
pupil at St Michael and St John's RC Primary School, in Clitheroe, entered a “Wild at Art”, competition organised by the BBC and the Wildlife Trust. It encouraged youngsters with an inter est in nature to explore the garden-and fields and send in a picture of some form
of animal life found there. Max created a wonderful composite picture of a lamb, which earned him the runner-up prize. His picture was also
shown on the BBC’s "Look North" news programme when the winners were announced. Last Friday, Rosslyn Colderley, of the Wildlife Trust, visited the school to present a framed certificate to Max during the school assembly, (s)

YEAR 10 pupils from St Augustine’s RC High School, at Billington, and Norden High School, Rishton, togeth er with teachers from both schools, took part in a “Buddy Training Day” at Mytton Fold Farm Hotel. The two schools’ Buddy
partnership project forms part of St Augustine's Spe cialist Science College pro gramme and is funded by the additional resources the school has been allocated to raise achievement even further in science and maths. Now in its second year,
the project pairs up Year 10 pupils with others in Years 7 and 8 to support them in both subjects. Each pair meets weekly so that the older pupil can help the younger one in the areas of their learning which they
find most difficult. At the training day pupiis from both schools joined up for a series of presentations and discussions with a focus on the different ways in which people learn. This included acting out various scenar ios they might find them selves in as Buddies and working together on plan ning support materials they could use on one-to- one sessions. Links between St Augus-
tine’s and Norden are growing stronger now that both schools have specialist college status. Norden teams up with St Augus tine’s for science and maths while the Billington school will be increasingly involved as a partner in Norden’s Specialist Sports College programme. • St Augustine’s will
shortly be launching a pro gramme linking adult men tors with a background in industry or business with Year 11 students to sup port them in science and/or
maths. If members of the public are willing and able to help in this project, or would like to learn more about it, please contact Mrs Joanna Rutter on
01254 823362. Staff at St Augustine’s are also plan ning a special careers con vention with a distinctive focus on science, maths and technology for Year 10
pupils from St Augustine’s on Wednesday, March 9th, 2005. . If local firms would like
to contribute to the plan ning and delivery of any
aspect of this event please contact Mrs Rutter at the school. Pictured are some of the 74 Year 10 pupils who took part in the Buddy Training Day. (s)

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 30th, 2004 25 Open meeting for speakers Numerous objections to arts centre
MEMBERS of Clitherqe Speakers' Club held their open meeting in the form of a presentation in Clitheroe Library to demonstrate the aims of the club. At the last meeting, the outgoing president, Dennis Ogden, presented the chain of office to Robert Morpeth, the new pres ident, with the president's insignia. After the business session, member Dorothy Gertson spoke
for eight minutes about "Miracles". This was designed to be a speech which demonstrated how important it is to construct a speech carefully and avoid a jumble of ideas with no logical beginning, middle and end. Her speech was evaluated by John Adw who congratulated
her on a very well-constructed speech. He also dealt with other features which should be taken into account - clarity of voice, eye contact, general stance at the lectern and so on.
Gene Holmes, the club secretary, then
gave a reading which was evaluated by Penny Ogden. The evaluator in this case looked for clarity, voice projection, pace, voice dynamics and all the other attributes which go to make up a good reading. The adrenaline-inducing topics session
came next, under the chairmanship of Derr rick Holmes. He varied the normal format by announcing the topic and then calling for volunteers to respond and talk for three minutes on the topic. Topics were very var ied and the responses were briefly evaluated by Chris Carr who was looking for a tidy mini-speech which ideally stuck to the sub ject and avoided waffle. There were good examples of both. Finally the whole evening was comment
ed on by the general evaluator for the meet ing, in this case the new president, Mr Mor peth. He examined how promptly the pro gramme was followed, whether such fea tures as the seating and lighting height were all appropriate, and whether the evening as a whole had been a success. The next meeting is at the normal venue,
the Young Farmers' Club, Clitheroe Auc tion Market, Lincoln Way, on Monday at 7-30 p.m. when all willbe welcome to come and join in or just sit and listen to what goes on.
Clear weather for last walk
FORTY-THREE walkers joined the last Wednesday evening walk of the summer programme of the Clitheroe Ramblers. They set off from Bolton-by-Bowland
turning left over Skirden Bridge and down by the beck until crossing Holden Beck making for Hague farm. Then it was up to Rodhill Gate and con
tinuing higher by the lane until Higher Heights farm was reached. On a lovely, very clear evening everyone
enjoyed the 360 degree far distant views as the sun disappeared behind the Bowland Fells. The walk back down was by Priest Biggins, Fat Hill and Holden by road in near darkness to the Coach and Horses where most members enjoyed a drink to cel ebrate a successful walks' season. On the following Wednesday, the first
afternoon walk of the autumn attracted 23 members in sunshine, covering four miles, starting at Anna Lane Head above Holden. The route went north east by Barrows Brow, then Barrow Brow and Knotts before joining the gated Tosside road down
to'Butterfields. Turning left up the bridleway almost to , . .
Shays before turning left again past Fells farm on to what is now part of the open country of Champion. The walk then went past the ruined farm of Ling Hill and down past Threap Green to the road and back to
the start. On this walk also, outstanding all-round „ j
views were much appreciated. Both walks were led by John Whitehead.

TOG 24 Adults / f u s t i n R e e d
OUR report of the debate into the possibility of a mosque being built on coun cil-owned land in Clitheroe stated incorrectly that no objections had been received when the same site was previ ously suggested for an arts
centre. There were numerous objec
tions at that time, a number of which appeared in our letters page, mainly based on traffic issues around the Kirkmoor Road site. Following last week's heated
debate at the Policy and Finance Committee, Coun. John Hill proposed to investigate the impact a mosque would have on local residents, carry out prelim
inary investigations of the land conditions and seek advice from the district valuer about how much the site was worth. At that meeting, leader of the
Liberal Democrats Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) said that a recent application for an arts centre on the same site did not need much investigations or a survey into the social impacts it
would have on nearby residents. He told those present: “When
a proposal for the arts centre building was submitted, Coun. Hill did not have any objections about the disposal of land then and no surveys into the social responsibilities of the centre occurred and I think it is only reasonable we should have the same attitude now.”
