To Sir, with love... THE father of a Year 11 student at Oakhill College in Whalley ensured his daughter travelled to her leavers dinner


in style. For the teenager and two of her friends


were chauffeured to the event, held at the Shireburn Arms in Hurst Green, by the


girl’s father in his helicopter. The students were joined by members


of staff from the senior school, departing principal Mr Philip Mahon and the chairman of governors. This was the last-ever leavers’ dinner


for Mr Mahon, who left the college on Friday and handed over the reins to Mr Michael Kennedy.


In a role reversal and in true leavers ^


style, the pupils honoured Mr Mahon by presenting him with his own shirt with their special leaving messages on it! He did, however, manage to avoid them cut­ ting his trousers off at the knee! Mr Mahon went on to give a brief

SABDEN bowler John Robin­ son is pictured receiving the Great Harwood and District Bowling League’s prestigious Silver Salver trophy after a weekend of bowling. Mr Robinson was one of two


Sabden bowlers who reached the finals of the two-day event. It was hosted by Sabden Bowling Club and attracted 64 top bowlers from the league along with dozens of spectators. In an exciting final, Mr


Robinson beat Ribblesdale’s Ray Turner 21-20. John and fel­ low Sabden club member Alan Whalley met in the semi-finals with John winning 21-19. The other semi-final was also


between two Ribble Valley bowlers, Steve Hitchon of Clitheroe Cricket Club and Ray Turner, who won 21-16.


FOUR-LEGGED friends enjoyed a special sponsored “walkies” to raise money for a variety of good causes. The sponsored Charity Dog Walk


was jointly organised by Clitheroe Rotary Club and Ribblesdale Rotary Club and featured a pictur­ esque five-kilometre route along the River Ribble. Participants were invited to raise


sponsorship, both for the main bene­ ficiary, Hearing Dogs for Deaf Peo­ ple, and for charities or good causes of their own choice.


On the day, more than £1,200 was


raised by Rotarians with their fami­ lies, friends and, of course, their


dogs. Two-thirds of that total will go to


Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, which trains dogs to perform a wide variety of tasks for their deaf own­ ers, greatly improving their quality


of life. The sponsored walkers were


accompanied by Dodger, a trained Hearing Dog, and his owner, Alison Chester. Sending them off in style


was PC Anna Woods and her sniffer dog, helping to launch a new chari­ ty, the Retired Lancashire Police Dogs’ Benevolent Fund, founded by Whalley woman Mrs Sheila Maw. The two local Rotary Clubs wish


to thank their sponsors for the event, James Alpe, Dugdale Nutri­ tion and Booths Supermarket. Our picture shows participants,


both human and canine, together with PC Anna Woods and Rotary presidents Graham Claydon and Paul Carlton, (s)

A trip back through history


m ed iev a l life was re­ enacted at Clitheroe Cas­ tle Keep. Visitors watched nails


being made at the black­ smith’s forge and helped cook chicken on a spit. There was also a dis­


play of hand-to-hand sword fighting. The grand finale was


the firing of a small can­ non, which was heard across Clitheroe. Our picture shows

Sex case appeal is allowed


A CLITHEROE man who groped a drunken 17-year-old girl has won a cut in his 30-month jail term at Lon­


don’s Appeal Court. Martin Shaun Woodend (43), of Hay-


hurst Street, was jailed for two-and-a-half years at Preston Crown Court in June last year after he pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a female. But Mr Justice Crane, sitting with Mr


Justice Jack at London’s Appeal Court, last week cut Woodend’s sentence to 18 months - ruling the original term was “manifestly excessive”. The judge said the teenage victim had


been out drinking with friends on April 22nd last year. During the course of the evening she


drank too much and became separated from her friends. The girl then went to a nearby “alcove” and promptly fell asleep. Woodend, who was himself “the worse


for wear for drink” then came across the girl. He helped her to her feet and accom­ panied her to a nearby spot where they sat down and the offence took place. She asked him to stop and he did. When interviewed, he accepted the sex­


ual activity had taken place, but said he believed the girl


had consented. Agreeing to cut


Woodend’s jail term, Mr Justice Crane said he had in it ia ll y approached the girl “out of con­ cern rather than predatory sexual interest”. He added: “I t

this appeal is allowed.”
