Ex-pupils don their old school uniforms for night of nostalgia


MEMORIES of school days were re-lived by nearly 100 Ribble Valley people when they attend­ ed a charity disco. Guests blew the dust off


their old school shirts and blazers and attended a “Back to School” disco in a bid to breathe new life into a “run-down” Whalley play area. The event, organised by


members of the Whalley Playground Action Group (WPAG), was held at the Rendezvous nightclub and raised almost £900 towards state-of-the-art fun equip­ ment at Proctor’s Field play area. The evening of non-stop


tun gave visitors an opportu­ nity to make a trip down memory lane and dance the night away to classic pop, rock and disco anthems from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Attractions during the


well-organised disco includ­ ed a raffle, with prizes donat-

Taurus (Apr21-May21) You won't have to look far if you’re needing some help, because one of your friends is In a great position to do you a favour. Instead of looking for help further afield, you will be better off letting friends know your needs. If you can't find one that has the talent you’re seeking, at least they will refer you to someone tmstworthy. This week Is all about being 6 degrees in separation from others and you may be surprised by how closely connected you are to the solution to a current dilemma.

Gemini (May22-June21) Only bad things happen quickly. When we think of things that can alter our lives In a moment it’s usually a phone call In the middle of the night, a lost job or suddenly hearing some bad news. Apart from winning the lottery; a surprising promotion or award, happiness takes some time to manifest. Building relationships, learning new things and changing habits are certain ways to find fulfillment. Work patiently now and you'll be able to create some


wonderful things. -^•CMKgf__Juna5-Jutya ] 0905 232 6051 I Coll m y storllna fo r more:


Cancer (June22-July23) Deep inside you know what's good for you. You know that exercise, hobbies and time spent with those you care for make you feel better. If you are avoiding such pleasures because you are waiting until you feel better, you may have quite a wait. You feel drained of joy by fear of the future or regrets of the past, but if you don’t get motivated soon you risk getting even more stuck. Do something today that you know is good for you, and then take it one step at a time.

ed by generous local busi­ nesses, a tuck shop selling old-fashioned sweets such as aniseed balls, pear drops and Love Hearts and there was plenty of entertainment to help get people into the swing of the night. Mrs Angela Cunliffe, a


member of WPAG, said the disco was a huge success and a great start to raising awareness of the lack of facilities for local children. She added: “Everyone


had a great time and loved coming dressed in school uniform. “We are pleased with the


amount raised - it just shows that parents are supporting a good cause and wanting to do something for the village’s youngsters. “Overall, a good time was


had by all.”


thanks to all the people involved in organising the event and also thanked Mrs Martine Crompton, who runs Rendezvous nightclub for allowing the disco to be held there. • The disco is the first of


many planned events designed to raise money for the village’s play area. It follows the launch of a


campaign earlier this year by local parents to raise a whop­ ping £30,000 to replace the existing outdated play equipment. Proposals for any new


equipment will be submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council for planning permis­ sion. Our picture shows Deb

Libra (Sept24-Oct23) There Is every reason to believe that you will be rash with cash or relationships now. If you aim to avoid unfortunate outcomes in the future you must struggle against these impulses. Whatever you are feeling or desiring Is off course and not in your best interests and you may be about to repeat past mistakes. Remember bad habits take a life time to build and are hard to break; but good things can begin to happen the minute summon up courage to change.

Scorpio (Oct24-Nov22) Any reason may seem a good reason to throw a temper tantrum right now. Let's face it, you're in a bad mood and no one ran fix it but yourself. It doesn't matter how right you are, if you were really clever, you won't be in this mood in the first place. What matters is how fast can you bounce back. Call a friend, book a massage or ring up your favourite psychic; or pick up a self help book. You need to recalibrate your aura with a positive spin now!

Sagittarius (Nov23-Dec21) You're feeling restless and ambitious but could you imagine just how much more you could accomplish if you were simply more organised? Sometimes life has a way of spiralling out of control, especially when it comes to communication and paperwork. Misplaced numbers, lost cards and stacks of bills, may have you wondering just where to begin. A new filing system or even an assistant could be just what’s needed now.

Capricorn (Dec22-Jan20) This is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don’t type of weeks. As a Capricorn you know that there's always a way to make things better and if anyone ran do it, it’s you. Yet you are better off studying the failures of others instead of pushing ahead. Try to rethink your strategies before you commit to new things. Also review your finandal investments; there’s a good chance that you can find a better rash flow by cutting costs down.

Aquarius (Jan21-Feb19) Sometimes life hurts doesn't it? Right now your pain is likely to come from your significant other or. business partner. Whoever you’re dealing with at the moment is not too happy with themselves so try not to take their criticism to heart. Hanging around miserable people can only bring you needless suffering. Cut the cord to the discontented and you will avoid unnecessary pain. Set your boundaries and don't allow anyone to cross them or you now.

Just because things have worked out for you in the past, doesn't guarantee that they will in the future. Life changes a great deal from day to day; year to year and if some of your more successful formulas have gone to pot, there’s every reason to believe you might need to update your belief systems. Find someone who can teach you more and begin to make adjustments now.___________________________ ____________

STONYHURST College was hon­ oured when one of its pupils was chosen to represent Jesuit students worldwide at an audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI after High Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. Angela Page (18), who is in her


last year at the college, recalled: “It was a humbling, but inspiring moment, an amazing privilege to have been chosen.” She arrived at the Vatican with 90


other pupils, parents, staff and alumni, after a four-day walking pil­ grimage from Orvieto in the compa­ ny of three Jesuits and a diocesan priest. The following day saw the Feast of Our Lady, Mother of the Society of Jesus, and the date upon which the original Jesuits took their first vows. The group ranged in age from nine to 78 and walked as one

the society to the celebration, uniquely mentioning Stonyhurst by name. He then personally greeted a rep­ resentative group of Jesuits and


through the Italian countryside, fol­ lowing the ancient pilgrim route to Rome, the Via Francigena, covering up to 18 miles a day. On the first evening, they entered


St Peter’s Square, singing “Jubilate Deo”, flags and baimers flying, to be greeted by some 90 other pilgrims from Stonyhurst, who had flown straight to Rome for the occasion. After a Mass presided over by Cardinal Sodano, Vatican Secretary

SUPERFIT long-distance runner Andrew Ronnan raised £1,500 for a deserving charity by completing the London Marathon. Whalley resident and Ribble Val­


ley businessman Andrew (51), slipped on his trainers and completed his 20th marathon and ninth consec­ utive London Marathon in aid of National Asthma Campaign. In the past he has rais^ more than


£10,000 for a number of good caus­ es.


He said he was delighted to finish


the 26-mile circuit in four hours and 52 minutes. He added: “I t was the final job for


my blue overalls and green site safety helmet! I really enjoyed myseh and once again the crowd was tremen­ dously supportive.”


Meanwhile, two Billington resi­


dents also pounded the streets of the capital and raised lots of money for charity. Nigel Harris (43), who lives at The


Meadows, tackled the gruelling race for the first time and crossed the fin­ ishing line in three hours and 44 min­ utes. He was joined by Senior East Lan­


cashire Divisional Fire Officer Mike Frankland (51), of Bridge End. His impressive finishing time was three hours and 56 minutes. In addition, energetic sisters Kim


Andrew (31), of Whalley Road, Read, and Sue Brooks (49), of Walmsley Brow, Whalley, took part in the race in aid of the Retail Trust. The national charity offers care, support and assistance to people who


are working, or have worked in retail when they, their partners or their family need it. Kim and Sue work at the coffee shop in Maureen Cookson, Whalley, and crossed the finishing line in five hours and 42 minutes. They are continuing with their


fund-raising efforts by hosting a charity ball at Ewood Park in Black- bum, this weekend. Finally, former Whalley resident


Catherine Timson fulfilled her long- held ambition of completing the London Marathon. Catherine, who is an ex-pupil ol


Whalley Primary School and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, raised £900 to boost funds for Con­ cern - a charity working to eliminate extreme poverty in the least devel­ oped countries of the world.

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, May 4th, 2006 5 End of an era for secretary ________ by Faiza Afzaal


A MUCH-LOVED secretary said an emotional farewell to a school where


she has worked for 20 years. When pupils, teachers and parents have


visited Whalley Primary School, the first smiling face to greet them has been that of school secretary Mrs Jean Taylor. Mrs Taylor (59), who celebrates her


60th birthday this week, retired on Friday. Speaking about her time at the school,


especially the changes that she has wit­ nessed over the past two decades, she said: “The school has changed a lot over the years. I t has gone from strength-to- strength with increased pupil numbers and the building has expanded in that it now boasts more classrooms than ever. “My role has changed considerably as


well. I began as a part-time secretary and the post was soon turned full-time. Tech­ nology has come a long way and I have gone from using a basic typewriter and the pencil and paper method, to a fancy com­ puter, Internet, e-mail - the lot!” Mrs .Taylor added that she has made


lots of friends and admitted she was going to find it difficult not going to work any­


more. “I have really enjoyed my time at


Whalley Primary,” she commented. “It has been challenging all the time and I have made lots of friends with teachers.
