resources for acting out songs, as well as developing children’s num­

‘Vision’ school opens its doors


by Natalie Cox:_________


A RE VAMPED, Ribble Valley school will be officially unveiled tomorrow. After almost 12 months’ work,


Clitheroe’s new look Brookside Primary School will be revealed.


W ’


. For headteacher Mr Graham Claydon the afternoon ceremony will see his long­ term vision for the Bright Street school finally come to fruition. Initially, his aim was to extend the open


plan school to create space for two class­ rooms, as well as providing modern toilet facilities for the children. However, the end result has seen the entire internal layout of the school changed. As.well as having an extension built,


many internal walls were knocked down and rebuilt to create corridors and separate every classroom. : A new library with central resource area has also been pro­ vided, as has an. ICT suite, with enough computers to cater for an entire class.


r; The work has also


created a kitchen area, where pupils learn food technolo­ gy skills, as well as a secure, outdoor play ■ area with soft sur­ face for the recep­ tion class, a new staff room and wel­


coming reception area with re-sited offices. The final part of the project will also see


the creation of a role play area for the infant children in a room also utilised by the before and after school club. Said Mr Claydon: “It took a long time to


get to the planning stage and this was a vision I had held for a long time about what I wanted to do, but now having decorated and carpeted the whole place it isTike hav­ ing a new school.” - The total cost of the rebuild and interior


transformation has been calculated at around £450,000. Work got under way last May and con­ tinued through the summer holidays. When staff returned after the break they had just four days to get everything back into full working order. A major plan was put together to ensure


everything would be completed in time and thanks to the efforts of everyone, including Monks of Longridge, who carried out the building work, and a team of industrial cleaners from Carlisle, there was no delay and the school reopened on schedule. When Mr Claydon started work at


Brookside 19 years ago there were just 120 children on the register.


, ^ ^ Two decades later the number has


almost doubled. Tomorrow’s official unveiling will be car­


ried out by the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Mary Robinson, and the Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. Allan Knox. • There is an open invitation for anyone


to visit Brookside School on Tuesday, Feb­ ruary 28th. Between 9-30 a.m. and 3-30 p.m. the school will host an open day.

APPLAUSE filled a packed St Mary’s ' Centre during the second night’s per­ formance of the Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dra­ matic Society’s production, “Crazy


For You”. The Gershwin musical comedy, based on


a book by Ken Ludwig, is a 1930s love story with all the ingredients of a real American show. Starting in the theatre world of New


York, it tells the tale of a song and dance enthusiast Bobby Child (David Hulme) who, when sent to Deadrock, Nevada, by his pushy mother to foreclose the mortgage on Deadlock’s Gaiety Theatre, meets and falls deeply in love with Polly Baker , (Bethany Clews), the theatre owner’s daughter and the only girl around for miles. Hoping to win over Polly’s heart through


the saving of the theatre, Bobby pretends to be New York producer Bela Zangler (Howard G. Raw) and arranges a show, with the help of the Follies Girls, to raise the money owed. However, when the real Bela Zangler


turns up along with Bobby’s fiancee, Irene Roth (Andrea Cawley), the course of true love does not run smoothly and the fate of the theatre hangs in the balance. _ The mixture of an energetic cast, well-


choreographed dance routines, humour, colourful costumes and great scenery keeps you well-entertained for the two-hour long


production. David Hulme gives an enriching por­


trayal.of Bobby, who is torn between his dominating mother and demanding fiancee, but achieves his true passion to


dance, and Bethany Clews gives a memo­ rable performance of a headstrong country girl whose ultimate ambition is to find true love.


; _ The laidback and narrow-minded atti­


tude of the cowboys brought chuckles from the audience, as did the scene when the two drunk Bela Zanglers thought they were seeing double! And the Follies Girls performance as the


stunning showgirls was clearly achieved. With a mixture of recognisable songs,


such as "Bidin' My Time," "Embraceable You," and "I Got Rhythm," directed by Chris Andrews, the upbeat sounds would challenge anyone not to toe-tap along with the cast. At £10 a ticket the price has risen slight­


ly since last year’s show, but as explained in the programme by the chairman, Terry. Till, this was due to the cost of the hired


tiered seating. Although the seating was slightly


cramped, you were guaranteed a good, clear view of the stage, so it was well worth


it. ' .
