High-fliers praised for top exam results


_____________ by Faiza Afzaal


HIGH-FLYING pupils from Bowland High School have been congratulated for their


excellent GCSE results. During a special prize-giving ceremony, head­


teacher Mr Stephen Cox praised the pupils for their outstanding results stating: “A total of 888 GCSEs were awarded to our students in the sum­ mer. “As a year group an incredible 75% of them


Yorkshire Dales destination for Ramblers


A GROUP of 13 Clitheroe Ramblers set off from Draughton, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and headed towards the hamlet of E as tb y before climbing up Heugh Gill and following a line of grouse butts towards Barden Moor. After pass ing th e shooting h u t a t


Hutchen Gill Head, the ramblers turned eastwards and enjoyed magnificent views in the autumnal sunshine. Passing through Harehead Side and


Middle Harehead, they followed a path through Westy Bank Wood and had their lunch stop a t Bolton Abbey. The group th en travelled so u th to


Bolton Bridge, along the banks of the River Wharfe, before heading west, via Hawpike Farm and Thornber Laithe, back to th e i r s ta r t in g .p o in t a t Draughton. The weather had remained dry all day and a distance of 11 miles was covered.


achieved five or more A stars to C at GCSE level, with 67% of all pupils achieving five A stars to C including English and Maths.” He went on to thank the teaching staff for their


excellent efforts throughout the year. “Without the tremendous hard work and commitment of the teaching and support staff a t Bowland clearly the school would not be as successful as i t is and I thank them for their dedication over the last year,” he commented. Mr Cox also paid tribute to the hard work of for­


mer deputy head and physics teacher Mr Peter Hodbod, who retired earlier this year after 30 years at the school. Praising his dedication to duty, he said: “Mr


Hodbod has tirelessly worked for the betterment of the school and has been crucial in driving for­ ward the many improvements we have seen. Since his retirement this summer he has been sorely missed a t school.”


She was once the most famous beauty in the


county but after 550 years you could be forgiven for thinking that her best days were behind her.


The team behind the Emporium fell for her charms and whisked her off her feet and now she’s back on the scene and taking dates once again.

Sad end to a vital family support organisation


AFTER nine years of supporting young families in the area, Home-Start Ribble Valley has closed its doors. More than 250 families with children


under five have received weekly home vis­ its from a dedicated band of more than 75 trained volunteers and also attended monthly family groups a t the scheme’s Whalley premises. Sadly the scheme had to close because i t had been unable to secure further funding in time to ensure its continuation. The scheme organisers and 16 of the


cu r re n t volunteers celebrated th e scheme’s achievements during that time with a very successful night out at the Emporium. Home-Start Ribble Valley also held an “Open House” a t the offices last month where families and volunteers were able to get together for the last time. The management committee and staff


expressed their thanks to all those who have supported the scheme over the past nine and a half years; its amazing volun­ teers, supportive funders and above all, the wonderful families who have allowed them to be a part of their lives over the p a s t decade. M an y of th e people


Remand on sex assault charges


A LANGHO man who denies two charges of sexual a s s a u l t has been remanded on bail to await trial next year. George Fogarty (65), of Hawthorn


Close, pleaded not guilty to the charges when he appeared a t Pres ton Crown Court. The prosecution alleges th a t the two


women involved in th e case were resi­ dents a t a Clitheroe hostel where the defendant was employed. Judge Philip Sycamore fixed a tr ia l


date of February 20th next year. • The d e fen d an t is th e fa th e r of


motorcycling legend Carl Fogarty, who was four times World Superbike champi­ on before retiring through injury in 2000.


Beatrix Potter’s life


is a hit for members CLOVER Club members enjoyed an


interesting talk on the life of Beatrix Potter. Guest speaker Mrs Sue Dugdale


covered th e a u th o r ’s life from her childhood until her death when she left properties and land to the Nation­ al Trust. The coffee mo rning raised £300


with members deciding to donate £150 to Stanley Grange and £150 to the local Guide movement. Menus for the Christmas meal a t


the Copy Nook, on December 4th, were discussed, as was a theatre trip for the New Year.
