A SMALL village church is facing the momentous ta sk of ra is in g a m in i­ mum of £ 1 0 0,000 for e s s e n t ia l re p a i r s to i ts community hall. The congregation of St


Mary’s RC Church, Sabden, received the bombshell news after a surveyor revealed that extensive work is need­ ed on the hall - including replacing the asbestos roof. In addition to this, the


building, which was official­ ly opened in 1984, needs all its facia boards and external doors, gutters and down­ spouts replacing and new windows throughout. The only good news from

tions with the surveyor and officials of the diocese to see if any grants are available, and if any money is forth­ coming to help the church’s predicament. But whatever the outcome


of these talks the small church will need to raise a lot of money. Fr Birmingham said that


the cost of a new slate or tile roof alone would be a mini­ mum of £70,000, as strict planning guidelines which could even mean the roof being re-aligned had to be followed. Some 30% of the overall cost would be taken up by fees and survey costs, he added. The hall also needs a new


disabled toilet and ramp and other internal improve­ ments. Fr Birmingham said: “It


is a building that it is used by all sections of the com­ munity, so we are hoping that people across the village will help us.

Village’s new picturesque walkway


VILLAGERS and visitors to Sabden have welcomed a new walkway that opens up the village brook. A newly-constructed


footpath has provided a brookside walk for all, and has been particularly wel­ comed by people in wheel­ chairs and those pushing prams, who have had access to a pretty part of the vil­ lage opened up to them The path follows the


course of Sabden Brook from the village car park downstream to the Victoria Bridge at Watt Street. It goes along the Lower


Holme field, opening it up for people who until recent­ ly were unable to go there when the ground was wet.. Parish council chairman

Coun. Tony Haworth said: “Everyone is now able to enjoy the brookside flora and fauna, as well as the abundant wildlife th a t flourishes in the water­ course. The brook is truly a valuable village asset.” The idea of a continuous


brookside footpath was first considered by Sabden Parish Council two years ago, and after liaising with Lancashire County Council Countryside Officer Mr David Oyston, plans were drawn up. The Countryside Service provided the fund­


ing and the county council carried out the work. Our picture shows Mari­


on Parfitt with (back from left) Coun. Bernard Parfitt, Coun. Haworth, Fran Haworth and Mr Oyston taking a stroll on the new walk. (B210807/2)


day Week is an annual event each July in which the pupils organise and run a full programme of fun activities and provide round-the- clock care. This year the children took part

School disco


FRIDAY the 13th proved lucky for Year Six youngsters at Pendle Primary. They travelled by


coach from school to the Moorcock Inn, Waddington, for a leavers’ disco and. party. The event was


organised and run by The Friends Of Pendle School. A great time was


had by all. The chil­ dren enjoyed party games, dancing competitions, and a meal of chicken nuggets and chips. At the end of the


evening Mrs Stephanie Zak, chairman of FOPS, presented each child with a special “School Days” book containing photographs of the two reception class­ es from 2000, as well as an individ­ ual photo of each child with a memo­ ry they will take with them. These included


friendships formed, special teachers and memories of their recent PGL holiday.


and a barbecue. Each of the 33 children had their own Stonyhurst pupil carer throughout the week. The residential holiday week is


financed and run by the Stony­ hurst Children’s Holiday Trust (SCHT), which was set up in 1972. Stonyhurst pupils raise funds


throughout the year with various events such as the poetry banquet and the selling of Christmas cards. The residential holiday week is run by sixth form pupils, overseen by adult trustees. The Trust’s mission is to enable


Stonyhurst pupils to raise the nec­ essary funds to finance, lead and run the holiday week, to ensure


the welfare of the children while they are under the care of the Trust and to educate the pupils in the process of running a charity by developing their awareness and knowledge of how such organisa­ tions work. As one sixth former said: “The


Holiday Week is very satisfying, very fulfilling. The only reward that is really worth it is a smile on the child's face at the end of the day.” Headmaster, Andrew Johnson,

said: “The SCHT Holiday Week goes to the heart of the Stonyhurst ethos of encouraging pupils and staff to use their God-given talents to benefit those less fortunate.” jtA.
