' ■'cmSeroe 42M24 (VditoriaU'4223M Camera club views top quality London Salon entries


FOLLOWING a number of e.xcellent presentations from members, last week’s Ribblesdale Camera Club meeting viewed the 2004 London Salon entries. This international exhibition brings


together, by invitation, the work of some of the finest photographers in the world and the 77 high-quality transparencies selected from the 170


prints exhibited were matched by a clear and interesting commentary. The saion was set up in 1910 and


entries were from as near as Burley-in- Wharfedale and Liverpool and as far away as Slovakia and the Ukraine. Every photograph was inspira­


tional. Particularly striking however were gritty black-and-white street photographs from Ireland and the


carefully composed surrealistic city scene by a German photographer. There were, however, simple travel


pictures of supreme quality, humour and pictorial reportage. An example of the latter was the Brighton Pier fire with a tousle haired blond girl in the foreground, whose hair echoed the flames. Lee Preston, who \dsited Rib­ blesdale a few years back, was repre­


sentative with a shot of a Californian Redwood forest. The Gold Medal winner was a picture of a young baby crawling around his father’s feet. Ten of the top pictures and details


of the London Salon can be found on wviv.londonsalon.org. The club meets in Chatburn on Tuesday nights. For further details call 01200 423474 or

Retired policeman dies at 89


A FO RM E R W h alley police officer who founded an advanced driver train- ing course for civilians has died at the age of 89. The funeral of Mr Tom Wood MBE was


held a t Accrington Crematorium last month. Mr Wood was a motorbike officer who


was stationed in the Ribble Valley village of Whalley where he lived with his family, for about 15 years. More recently he had lived in Wilpshire. ' He was promoted to county police head­


quarters in Blackburn as a divisional traf­ fic sergeant. Mr Wood was asked by the Chief Con­


stable to look a t giving advanced driver training based on the police driving manual “Roadcraft” to civilians. The initial course, which consisted of 10 lectures, was held in Blackburn in 1964." I t proved so successful th a t practical


driving sessions were added and in 1966 the Blackburn Area Road Safety Association was formed when Mr Wood retired from the police service and was appointed as Black­ burn Borough Council’s first Road Safety Officer. BARSA’s first public meeting was attend­


ed by around 200 people including the then Minister of Transport Barbara Castle and Chief Constable Richard Bibby. Mr Wood’s main goal was to have a pur­


pose-built road safety training centre and a site, adjacent to the greyhound stadium in Gorse Street, was identified and allocated for outdoor events and training. A perma­ nent centre was opened in December 1973 by Mrs Castle. The centre was used for training motor­


cyclists and ambulance drivers, as well as people driving cars and HGVs. On site was a lecture room, office and skidpan. The Ewood Training Centre continued to


operate until 1997 when it was closed after being badly vandalised. . - Mr Wood was dedicated to promoting


safe driving and his efforts were recognised a t a high level as he was awarded the MBE for his contributions to road safety. He Mil be remembered for his efforts to


teach good road manners and driving tech­ niques. BARSA continues to exist and promotes


courses which teach defensive driving to keep people safe on the roads., The latest six-week course starts on Sun­


day meeting on the Aldi car park opposite Ewood Park football ground at 10 a.m. The course content continues to be based on the “Roadcraft” manual and covers all aspects of driving. Lectures take place on Tuesday evening and practical driving sessions on Sunday mornings. The cost is £20 with a £5 reduction for students. Anyone interested should ring Ross Heron on 01204 852605 or Alan Kay on 07702 503903.


Driver suffers minor injuries in accident


A DRIVER was taken to Blackburn Royal Infirmary with minor cuts to his forearms and hand after losing control of his vehicle a t the A59 roundabout by the Ribble Valley Enterprise Park. The incident, which occurred at 6-48


p.m. on Friday, involved a green Dae­ woo Lanos vehicle, travelling towards Preston. On the approach to the roundabout,


police believe the driver clipped the kerb and the vehicle flipped on to the


near side barrier. No other vehicles were involved in


the accident. ■ \ ■■ ...

A UNIVERSITY stu­ dent from Simonstone is hoping to spend part of the summer rebuilding a school playground dev­ astated in the tsunami. Thomas Hardman is


among a team of staff a n d ' s tu d en ts from Teesside University who plan to travel to Sri Lanka in June to under­ take the project, which they Mil have designed. Undergraduates from the Disaster Manage­ ment and International Emergency Relief Engi­ neering courses expect to spend a fortnight on site taking part in the proj­ ect. Each student has been


asked to raise a t least £2,000. The money will be used toward travel and accommodation costs, as well as con­ tr ibuting towards the construction work. Thomas is now hoping


local businesses, schools and other organisations will either sponsor him, give a monetary dona­ tion or donate items for a fund-raising auction. Anyone who wants to


help can co n tac t Thomas in writing a t Pump House Farm, Trapp Lane, Simon- stone.


How Year 8 suffered earache


A LIVELY rendition of “Is this the way to Amarillo” by a trio of teachers left pupils “stunned” at Ribblesdale High School Tech­ nology College. The Tony Christie h i t was


performed by Mrs Street, Miss Robinson and Mrs Smith to mark the start of a “Gifted and Talented Inter-team Challenge”


- at the Clitheroe school. I t involved 32 Year 8 pupils on


a “Chunky 'fimetable Day”, where pupils come out of normal lessons to take part in various alternative activities. They split


into four teams and competed against each other in four chal­ lenges throughout the day. The three teachers were aim­


ing to create a relaxed atmos­ phere for the pupils. The first challenge involved a


murder hunt. Pupils honed their detective skills to work ou t when, how and w'hy the murder had taken place and, most importantly, “whodunit”. Next came th e re- in tro d u ctio n of “Amarillo”, but now as “Amarib- ble”. For this challenge, pupils had to design an o u tf it from newspaper, bin bags and various other props, learn the Amarillo song and choreograph a per­ formance. After lunch, four members of each team endured circuit training and then the other four members of each team had an egg and spoon race. The day ended with a general knowledge quiz. The winning Kemple and Pen-


dle team were awarded the Per­ rys Peugeot Inter-team Chal­ lenge tro p h y and individual medals. Vouchers and spot prizes were given to pupils for particu­ larly impressive work. ■Winners: Ruth Furlonger -


best detective; Andrew Wenham - best fading rock star; Edith Waterhouse - best committed team member; Simon Johnson - best overall athlete; Tom Grimes - best outfit; Nida Shakoor - most competitive group member and overall “stress head”. Pictured are the winning team
