YOUNG people from schools and youth clubs in the Rihble Valley are being invited to enter teams in the 2005 Kielder Challenge - a unique outdoor adventure competition for young people with and without dis­


abilities. There are 200 places up for grabs in the


competition, but space is filling up fast so organisers are encouraging teams to get their entries in early. The teams will take part in a one-day


heat a t a local country wood or park in April or May, where they will attempt a series of problem-solving activities against the clock, such as rope mazes and obstacle courses.


The competition is open to teams of


eight 13 to 16-year-olds (Year 8 to 11) including four with and four \vithout learning, sensory or physical di^bilities. The aim of the unique event is to devel­


op the teamwork and communication skills of young people in a countryside environment and give them the opportuni­ ty to integrate with other youngsters with and without disabilities, which they may not normally experience. The Kielder Challenge has been running


for 21 years with more than 10,000 previ­ ous participants and is organised by out­ door access charity the Fieldfare Trust. It is supported by the HSBC Education Trust. Out of the initial 200 teams, only 12 can


progress to the two-day Grand Final in the fabulous setting of Kielder Forest, Northumberland, in September.

centre at Bashall Town, near Clitheroe, recently donned new uniforms and have donated their old-style clothing to a local charity which gives humanitarian aid to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The gesture was inspired by customers


Derek and Doris Clarkson, who are volim- teers for Preston-based charity Interna­ tional Aid Trust Bashall Barn’s Louise Clarke says:


“Derek and Doris told us all about the charity and we were very impressed at the wonderful work going on. “That’s what prompted us to give them


our old uniforms. There are 16 of us who work here, so i t adds up to quite an amount. “We’ve been told that they’ll be used for


staff in some of the children’s homes they work with and some of the clothing will also go to International Aid Trust’s chari­ ty shops in Britain, which raise money for the work.” The International Aid Trust collects


and delivers millions of pounds worth of much-needed humanitarian aid to the for­ mer Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It also organises recuperative holidays


for victims of the Chernobyl disaster and has built a children’s home in Odessa, a drug rehabilitation centre in Ukraine and three music schools for partially-sighted people in Eastern Europe. Anyone who wants to help the Interna­


tional Aid Trust can contact 01772 611000.

explained how the competition works; “The competition is all about helping develop teamwork and communication skills so that’s where most of the points are given. The teams will do well by working together and allowing each member of the team to play an active part, in completing the task.” Rod continued: “We extended the crite­


ria last year to include those with sensory and learning difficulties too and we had a record number of entries. The standard of competition was very high and I have high hopes that we can surpass that again this year.” To get further information or to request

Wild and windy for walkers!


THE first Saturday walk of the year for the Clitheroe Ramblers took place from Settle in very windy condi­ tions.


Fallen trees and flooded


stretches of road were encountered travelling to Long Preston, while the low lying fields of the Valley to the A65 bypass near Settle were completely covered by the flood waters. Starting on the Gig-


gleswick road, the path going north was followed past woodlands to Fords Wood and Reinsber Scar, here the group found the route between parallel walls engulfed in water. Overcoming this setback


and walking into a strong north westerly wind, the head of the Happy Valley was reached and a tea break was taken in the shel­ ter of a wall. A short climb followed to


reach the highest point on the walk at the Celtic Wall, a 2,000-year-old burial mound, from which good views of Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough


and


Smearsett Scar were had. Returning to the path,


Stainforth Force was visit­ ed to view the river in its full fury as it passed over the waterfalls. Passing through Stain­


forth, the church was visit­ ed to view the millennium stained glass window, which depicts the changing sea­ sons, the flowers and wildlife of the area. Crossing the beck, the


path to Upper and Lower Winskill was taken and then followed to Langcliffe and crossing the Horton road to reach the weir on the River Ribble. Here again the fury of


the river was seen, as five 20ft long tree trunks having been swept over the weir had become wedged in the supports of the footbridge. The footpath to join the road at Stackhouses had become a stream. This also was taken in its stride, by the group who returned to the start point after an eventful walk in dry, but very windy conditions.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, January 13th, 2005 9 Good sports boost


Children in Need TWO teams from a town centre public house showed what good sports they were after com­ peting in a 12-hour marathon for charity. Members of the pool and ladies dart teams,


from the Brown Cow pub, on Moor Lane, in Clitheroe, raised more than £700 for Children


in Need. The event, held at the pub, featured the


teams playing a constant stream of darts and pool and was organised by the team members and supported by the pub’s regulars. Miss Donna Pateman, a member of the


ladies' dart team and one of the organisers, said she was really pleased with how enjoyable the day had been and was grateful to all who


showed up. She added: “I would just like to thank every­


one who attended the event and donated towards it.”


Best work of the year


THE New Year started at the Rib- blesdale Camera Club with a look at the best of last year’s colour prints from club photographers in Lan­ cashire, Cheshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man. First, the Lancashire and Cheshire


documentary folio was shown with a good quality tape of two photographers discussing the pictures. This was followed by colour prints


from the East Lancashire grouping of clubs, the Inter-Club Photographic Alliance. There was no commentary with the second set of pictures, and it was an opportunity for the Ribblesdale


New hobby is proving a hit


THE pursuit of cheerleading is growing apace in Clitheroe. Roefield Cheerleaders reached a


high standard last year and are look­ ing to do even better during 2005. The teams “Rockets” and


“Astros” which feature girls of vari­ ous ages, both received medal posi­ tions following entry into three com­ petitions. The cheerleaders, who held demonstrations at Roefield Leisure Centre also took part in fund-raising events, with the most recent being a bag-packing event, supported by Sainsbury’s, Clitheroe. The centre has three teams - the


Rockets, for ages 12 to 16, the Astros for eight -to-11-year-old’s and the Comets for five-to-seven-year-olds. If you are interested in joining, contact the centre on 01200 442188.


club to try their hand at giving marks. The results were surprisingly close to the expert who selected the winners. No fewer than eight club members


were represented in the I CPA folio. Pho­ tographs by chairman Jeff Cowling and Stuart Kellington received a maximum of 20 marks for “Innocence” and “Buf­ falo Bathtime” respectively, a remark­ able achievement considering the general high standard. The next club meeting will be a


change to the programme and take place on February 18th when secretary Ken Geddes will be showing a new audiovisu­ al called “A Tale of Two Railways”. This contrasts the arid, mountainous


country of Eritrea on the Red Sea with various parts of rural China. The link is steam railways; in one case the re-intro­ duction of steam trains between Eritrea’s biggest port and its capital, in the other, a determination to get rid of archaic steam before the Olympics. Despite the-title, there is plenty of


opportunity to see the country and lis­ ten to its sounds. From burning desert, one travels through lush sub-tropical limestone country to the Mongolian mountains and the frozen country on the Siberian border. Anyone with inquiries on membership


or other matters should call 01200 440868 or 01200 423474.
