CE Primary School enjoyed a whistle stop tour of the world. Whizzing across all the major continents they enjoyed dipping into other cultures during their world culture week. They started in Africa and learned from a visiting mis sionary team about what life is like in one of the poorest coun tries in the world - Sierra Leone.
The children thorough ly enjoyed the week and several parents telephoned or sent cards to thank all the staff for a wonderful week that had inspired their chil dren. The children were so touched by the plight of the chil dren in Sierra Leone that they suggested that all money raised by their non-uniform day go towards sup porting the pupils in Sierra Leone and, in addition, the school is also going to sponsor two pupils at school in the same country.
Quiz night The regular Tuesday night quiz held at the Read and Simon- stone Constitutional Club was won by The Fick Five despite the absence of veteran Don Oates who is still not match fit.

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times,Thursday, June 29th, 2006 11 Cricketers turn back the clock for Canadian tour
A SQUAD of Ribble Valley school crick eters is setting off on a testing tour thou sands of miles from home in a country proud of its history in the sport. Canada may not be the first country
th a t springs to mind when cricket is mentioned. However, cricket was once the country’s national sport, it hosted the first-ever cricket tour and a team took part in “the first international match in cricket history” - against a USA team. Next Thursday, 14 teenagers from
Stonyhurst College will fly out to Cana da for the 10-day trip that includes four matches, other sporting activities and visiting the spectacular countryside. They include local pupils James Cath- cart (16), of Wiswell, James Rawstron (18), of Whalley, and William Marsden (15), of Pendleton,. The latter two also play for Whalley CC. The Stonyhurst squad has promised to keep us up to date with their progress by . filing weekly reports, so Clitheroe Adver
Boxes of life to
combat trouble
by Duncan Smith
BOXES that save lives and secure a future will be shipped to troublespots around the world, thanks to the efforts of four Ribble
Valley churches. Parishioners at the four churches - St
Leonard's CE, Balderstone, St Mary's RC, Osbaldeston, St Mary's CE, Mellor, and Mel- lor Methodist Church - came together in an ecumenical forum. Together they have put together 26 lifesav
ing Aquaboxes, wheih bring help and hope to people in desperate need around the world. An Aquabox is a 75-litre plastic box which
contains a filtration system and water purifi cation tablets to produce 1,100 litres of clean, safe water - enough to keep a family of four alive for four to five months. Each box also contains four survival bags,
Replying to a complaint about parking on the nar row pavement in Church Lane, PC Geoff Penall explained that arrange ments had been made with the brewery to do this, as otherwise Church Lane would be completely blocked.

which can be used to build a shelter or for their original purpose as a windproof and water proof “sleeping bag”, as used by walkers or mountaineers who get into difficulties. In addition, each box is packed with essen
tial items grouped under three headings: • Personal hygiene - basic items such as
soap, towel, basic first aid, toothpaste, tooth brushes, toilet rolls etc.
0 Cooking - essentials such as a saucepan,
plastic bowls and cups, basic cutlery and a can opener. 0 Shelter building - basic equipment to con
struct a rudimentary shelter, such as a ham mer, pliers, screwdriver, nails, screws, wire, rope, a penknife, small shovel and a torch. For families who have lost everything, often
through a natural disaster such as the terrible Boxing Day tsunami, receiving an Aquabox can mean the difference between life and death. Once filled they are kept in storage, ready to be shipped whenever and wherever they are needed. Aquaboxes are a Rotary project and it was
Pam Martin, a member of the Rotary Club of Blackburn West, who got the four churches involved. “I work with local churches, schools, youth
groups and so on to promote the Aquabox project and the four churches involved are my own ecumenical forum,” said Pam. . “Our forum meets several times a year to
discuss an issue of importance and we worship, pray and study together. “This is the first of what I hope will be many
practical projects which bring us together to help others.” Each Aquabox costs £50 to buy, which includes the filtration unit, the water purifica
tion tablets, the survival bags, and the cost of transportation to their final destination, wher ever that may be. It also includes the cost of transporting the
boxes from the storage depot in Derbyshire to whichever group is filling them with the addi tional items, and back again. All those essential, everyday items are
sourced by the box fillers, often just by asking friends, relatives and neighbours what they can give. “Inevitably, in order to get all the items you
need for a project such as this, you get surplus items,” said Pam. “All of our surplus stuff will go to the Inter
national Aid Trust, at Much Hoole, and they will send it out in their containers, which go every week to help poor people all over the world.” Over the past 12 years some 70,000
Aquabo.xes have been sent to 48 countries around the world. They are distributed by known and reliable agencies and individuals and so get straight to the people who need them. Our picture shows four of the volunteers
from the four churches with some of the life saving Aquaboxes. They are, from the left, Sonia Tipper, Alice Marsh, Joan Moss and Ann Mercer, (s)
tiser and Times readers can share their view of Canada. The country may now be more famous
for its ice hockey and baseball prowess, but its illustrious cricketing pedigree goes back to 1785, when the first recorded match was held. The first English touring team visited
Canada in 1859 - the first cricket tour in history and an event which spawned a book, one of the earliest on the sport and now a collector’s item.
Canada is still one of the leading ama
teur cricket playing nations of the world. There are 12,000 players affiliated to the Canadian Cricket A^ociation, playing in 400 teams around 145 grounds. And the Canadian population is 30 million - half of England’s! The Stonyhurst pupils, accompanied
by three staff, vrill be based in Vancouver, on the west coast mainland. They will also be staying for four nights on Van couver Island.
Ramblers take in views of
parkland BEAUTIFUL parkland, stone bridges leading nowhere and a castle all featured on a walk around Kendal. Seventeen members ol
Clitheroe Ramblers, led by Jane Donnelly, set off from a lane near Sedgewick and made a circuit through Levens Park. They enjoyed the views
of the Kent and the splen did old trees. There were deer and goats with long horns. After crossing the
Kendal bypass the group followed the route of the disused Kendal canal through fields and wood land crossing a fine aque duct in Sedgewick. In some places the canal,
remains although there is no water in it. Most stretches have
been filled in but bridges remain, surrounded by grassland After following the canal
into Kendal the group climbed up to Kendal cas tle on its grassy hilltop, where there are good views on all sides. The route then followed
the River Kent through the town and back into the countryside. Field paths beside the
river led all the way back to the starting point.
Hotel family makes a sporting swoop for pub
ONE of the Ribble Valley’s most success ful hotel owners have added a new name to their portfolio. The Bayley Arms, Hurst Green, long
known for its sporting connections with the local community, is now sporting new owners - the Alcock family, who also own and operate the Shireburn Arms. The Bayley has long been the’hub of
the community being the 19th hole for Stonyhurst Park Golf Club, the head quarters for the local football, cricket and bowling clubs, as well as being a favourite haunt of staff and visitors from nearby Stonyhurst College. Steve Alcock commented: “We are
delighted to add the Bayley into our fam ily business. We will continue to build upon its excellent reputation in the area as being a great friendly pub offering V excellent r meals..
“Andrew Moon formerly the assistant
manager at the Shireburn Arms, has already introduced new- restaurant and bar menus and we have started to upgrade the eight bedrooms and the bar area. “The Bayley Arms and Shirebum Arms
will work closely together to continue and improve the excellent award-winning food and professional service for which the Alcock family has become renowned.” The family is investing £250,000 into a
refurbishment of the Shirebum Arms and has recently added a new lounge area and conference room to the premises which have already benefited from a major spend on the restaurant and gardens. Our picture shows the new owner of the Bayley Arms Mr Steve Alcock
