___________ by Tracy Johnson PUPILS were praised for their academic
and extra-curricular success by a Ribble Valley headteacher during an awards
evening. Mr Anthony McNamara, of St Augustine’s
RC High School, applauded the recent exam results achieved at the school, which he said were the best the school had ever seen. He paid tribute to the hard work of both pupils
and teachers and praised them for their extra curricular, sporting and charitable activities. The headteacher also paid tribute to members
of staff who have recently left. He said goodbye to food technology teacher Mrs Jen Sanders, head of music Mr Peter Rose, head of art Mr Wyn Craig and former deputy head Mr Phil
Mooney. Mr McNamara expressed thanks to the school
governors, particularly the chairman. Father Edmund Willoughby, and to parents, especially Mrs Morag White the chairman of the school’s
PTPA. He also thanked his colleagues for their work. “Again and again I am overwhelmed by their
selflessness, perfectionism and commitment to the pupils,” he said. “They give so generously of their time and are so loyal to our school it is diffi cult to convey my appreciation adequately.” The father-of-three, whose children have all
studied at the school, praised the standard of education that his and other children receive
there. “No private education, however expensive, no
selective school, however pleased with itself, could have supported, enriched and stretched my children as much as St Augustine’s has done,” he added. Our picture shows award winners and guests. (D201005/1)

Moviegoers’ ideal of heaven - a decent film and free beer
SIPPING an ice cold beer while sitting back and watching a film on the big screen - now there’s an offer you can’t refuse. But those local residents already imag
ining a drive out to one of the region’s multiplex cinemas will be surprised to hear this treat is being offered closer to home. Ribble Film Club will be dishing out
free bottles of Cobra beer on Sunday for its next screening at Clitheroe’s Stage and Screen cinema on Church Brow. The sup plies are left over from the sponsored screening that kicked off the club’s pres ent season at the beginning of September. The club’s latest feature is the Italian
film Consequences of Love, which will be shown at 7-30 p.m., vrith doors opening at 6-30 p.m.
Mini-bikes are deadly! _______ by Faiza Afzaal
POLICE are warning children in the Ribble Valley that a mini- motorbikes craze could end in
tragedy. The warning has been issued by
Clitheroe police officers, who have vowed to come down hard on the cul prits caught riding the machines in
public places. The move follows an increasing
number of calls from concerned members of the public who feel some one may be seriously hurt by the
bikes. So far this year, officers have dealt
with 40 incidents in the Clitheroe area relating to mini-motos type problems. In response, a number of warnings have been issued, one bike
has been seized and two 15-year-olds have been prosecuted. PC Cliff Woodcock, of Clitheroe
police, fears that the latest craze may result in someone getting seriously hurt. He commented: “The number of
complaints about youngsters riding the mini-motorbikes on public roads has soared recently. “By doing this, they are not only
risking their own lives, but the lives of other pedestrians and motorists. The motorised scooters are legally classed as motor vehicles and they should not be ridden on pavements and are illegal on roads. “The fact that young riders are
being caught with no insurance, no tax and not wearing a helmet makes the situation worse should they have an accident.
“Over the past six months we have
had complaints from residents who have spotted children riding the bikes in Highmoor Park, Taylor Street, Lincoln Way and the Castle Grounds. We are tackling individuals who use the vehicles in an anti-social manner. “The riders can only ride on private
land with the land owner’s permis sion. This does not include public parks and the Castle Grounds.” Similar concerns have been
expressed by PC Nick Gray. He is worried that parents are buying the machines for their children, without perhaps realising the legal implica tions of owning one. He is advising parents thinking about buying the machines for Christmas to think again. “Riding the machines on public land vrithout a licence, tax, insurance.
lights and a helmet is il leg al ,” explained PC Gray. “These bikes are being taken on the
roads by children who do not realise they are breaking the law. “It is very serious and dangerous
indeed. I have already had a number of complaints about the nuisance arid noise caused by youngsters riding in streets around Clitheroe. “I am urging parents or prospective
buyers to check the legalities before purchasing the bikes.” PC Woodcock added: “The bikes
should not be seen as toys. Anyone caught riding them on the roads will be prosecuted. There will be no
leniency shown.” Our picture shows PC Woodcock
and p e s o David Reid ready to clamp dovra on motorised scooters. (B181005/3)

Described by the club’s chairman Bruce
Dowles as “a film about love, but not romance”, he is keeping tight-lipped about the film’s “Clitheroe connection”
towards the end. The film club, which showed Spanish
film Only Human (Seres Queridos) last week, is screening a different film each week and will be supplying free beer until
supplies run out. Those who run the film club needed a
bottle of the beer themselves recently, when the screening of the film The Lizard was almost jeopardised by a postal mix-
up- Thankfully, the package containing the ■ •
film was eventually located, and thanks to the dedication and skill of the club’s projectionist, was ready to screen vrith 20 minutes to spare.
