STUDENTS at Clithero'e’s Sutcliffe Theatre School man aged to tap their way to raising more than £1,250 in just one hour recently in aid of the East
Lancs Hospice. Organised by principal Gladys
Sutcliffe, around 40 students with an age range of 60 years undertook weeks of practice in class before sustaining a solid hour of non-stop tap dancing. Originally conceived to celebrate
the tireless efforts of the late Mr Geoff Braithwaite in the service of the hospice, the tapathon required students to gather sponsorship tor the exercise. Not only were all the students
successful, but an extra 10 minutes were added “accidentally” by their teacher to ensure that all sponsors got their money’s worth. After handing over a cheque for

cause and we felt that this time we should recognise how invaluable is the voluntary work of such stal warts as Geoff. “It was particularly gratifying
that the children not only found their own sponsors, but also donat ed their own substantial ‘party fund’ to the tapathon.” Meanwhile, it is back to normal
classes for all those involved, though those aching muscles will remind them for a little longer of their outstanding fund-raising achievement. Picture shows members of the

Campaigners head to G8 summit
CLITHEROE campaigners are joining tens of thousands of peo ple in Edinburgh for the Make Poverty History rally. Local members of CAFOD
(Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) will be heading to the Scottish capital on Saturday to call on leaders of the world’s richest countries to demand trade
justice, debt cancellation and more and better aid for the world’s poorest countries. The Clitheroe team will be led
by Maureen and Teresa Mercer. CAFOD regional co-ordinator,
Anne Marie Coppock, said: “We need to deliver the Make Poverty History messages to the G8 lead ers.
, “It is no good just to talk about
it, you have to get involved and take action, show them that we will no longer stand by and watch this atrocity continue.” The Make Poverty History'
rally will deliver a powerful mes sage to world leaders as they gath er ahead of the G8 summit. That message will be backed by
millions of people supporting the Live 8 concerts around the world.
