In the footsteps of a poe
IT is one thing visiting the birthplace of a world-famous poet, but to be shown around the place by a boyhood friend of the great man takes the experience to a different plane. Lower Sixth pupils at Stonyhurst College
are studying the work of the late Poet Laure ate, Ted Hughes, in their English literature class and some of them went on a trip to Mytholmroyd, near Hebden Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales, to take part in the inaugural festival staged by the Elmet Trust. They heard the highly-acclaimed poet

Simon Armitage speak about Hughes’s work and its influence on his own poetry. He also read some of his own work and
talked about the recent publication of his translation of “Gawain and the Green Knight”. Then the pupils set off for a walk around
the village with Mr Donald Crossley, a child hood friend of Ted Hughes. He took them around some of their boy
hood haunts, many of which are mentioned in Hughes’s poetry, particularly in his collection “Remains of Elmet”. The highspot of the tour was a visit to the
house in which Hughes was born. It has been bought by Calderdale Council and is being renovated and decorated as it would have been in the poet’s childhood. “It was a fascinating day,” said English
teacher Johanna Egar. “It was made particu larly special by spending time with someone who knew Hughes so well.”

PUPILS at St Augustine's RC High School, in Billington, were treated to a day with Alan Gib bons, one of Britain’s top children’s writers. The winner of a Blue Peter Book Award, Alan
Gibbons has also been twice shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and for the Booktrust Teenage Prize, the most prestigious national awards for writers of fiction for younger people. His books have been published in many lan
guages. A class of Year 9 children worked creatively
with the author on his book “Caught in The Crossfire", which describes the impact of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York on rela tionships between ethnic communities in an imaginary northern English town. St Augustine's is committed to bringing its
pupils into contact with contemporary writers. Last year the school hosted a visit by prize-win ning author Beverley Naidoo, whose works are now set as National Curriculum texts. Pictured with St Augustine’s lead English
teacher, Mrs Jane Hogan, and the author him self, are Matthew Twomey, Sally Holden, Nico la Cloney, Nicholas Howley, Anna Harvey and Gerard O'Reilly, (s)

Triumph of hope over experience!
IN spite of a poor forecast, 10 optimists from Clitheroe Moun taineering Club met at the end of the Walna Scar track, at Coniston, on Sunday morning. The meet co-ordinator fulfilled his co-ordinating role at the car park, then announced he had walked in rain often enough before and wasn’t keen to do it today. The climbing eo-ordina- tor was armed with a good weather plan and a showery weather alternative, but both had to be abandoned in favour of walking. However, the group that set off up Dow Crag and onward to Coniston Old Man was eight strong and happy to make the best of things. Interestingly the age range of the p arty spanned 60 years, from 13 to 74, prompting the question: was it the enthusiasm
of youth or the stoicism of old age that motivated them? More likely grumpy middle-aged obstinacy, but whatever it was, it paid off. Although the waterproofs came on and off several times in the early part of the walk (and at one stage the cloud was down and the rain looked set in), as the hardy group continued from the Old Man along the ridge, over Brim Fell to Swirl How, the sun came out and they were rewarded for their perseverance with fine views accentuated, rather than diminished, by the clouds. The youthful trotted out to the summit of Great Carrs to see the memorial to eight airmen lost in 1944 (the wreckage visi ble on the slopes below), then the group descended Prison
Band to Levers Water, where the foolhardy paddled. The adventurous climbed on the Pudding Stone and the ex-biol- ogist told the Latin names of obscure sedges along the way. The day ended as all good mountain days should, with an excellent pint, in this case brewed on the premises in Con iston. Just to make the return ing heroes feel really smug, that was the point when the heavens opened and the rain began once more. Due to the holidays there will be no indoor meeting during July, but a weekend of wild camping in upper Eskdale for rock climb ing and mountain walking will be held from Friday, July 13th. Further details may be obtained from the co-ordinator, telephone 01200 425841.
Traditional fare to boost charity
DELICIOUS traditional ice cream which brings visitors flocking to the Ribble Valley will boost a good cause next week. Hudsons, the village store in
Downham Road, Chatburn, has been making and selling its own ice cream for the past 60 years, since its small dairy was installed in 1947. Today it is more popu lar than ever, with many cus tomers making a special trip or diverting their journey to call at Hudsons Ices. As part of the shop’s diamond anniversary cele brations, ail the money from ice
cream sales next Thursday, July7 7th, will be donated to Cancer Research UK, to help in the fight against breast cancer. It is the idea of current propri
etors Mark and Mandy Paul, who have run Hudsons for the past eight years. Mandy lost her mum to cancer so the charity and its work are close to their hearts. Everyone at the shop, including Mark, will be dressing as ballet dancers for the day and there will he an opportunity to try a limited edition pink Cham pagne sorbet. Mark also hopes
the eagerly-anticipated goose berry flavour will be ready, join ing the 10-or-so flavours regular ly on offer. Other attractions boosting the fund-raising will be a cake stall and face painting. Helen Kitchen, area volunteer
manager for Cancer Research UK, said: “We are thrilled that Hudsons Ices are putting on this unique event. The day will be fun for the whole community and will raise funds foir the vital w7ork of Cancer Research UK.” The fun begins at 10 a.m. and
lasts all day.
Time for tea A STRAWBER RY tea will help raise much need ed money for MS research. On Saturday
Jimi Hendrix Tribute- "A re You Experienced?''
between 2-30 and 4-30 p.m. the event is being held at Abbeyfield Cas tle View House in Clitheroe. The event will
make an impor ta n t contribu tion to Abbey- field week. There are 800
A b b e y f i e l d homes across the country, offering continuous care and companion ship to the elder ly7. Among these, tu7
o are situated
in Clitheroe, the Castle View House and Abb eyfield House.
