Valley’s civic regalia inspires top jewellery collection


LOCAL mayoral chains of office have inspired a new jewellery collection by a top London designer. Former Oakhill College pupil


Henry Holland has based his new range on the chains worn by the Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs Maria Berryman. The pair met when Henry


was guest speaker a t the col­ leges’ annual prize giving cere­ mony. He was a pupil a t Oakhill


from 1994 to 1999, subsequent­ ly moving to London to pursue a career in fashion journalism. Onhce established in the city,


he was appointed fashion editor at Bliss magazine. In 2006 he started printing T-shirts with naughty rhymes


about fashion designers, leading to the Creation of the House of Holland label. Last month he made his first


appearance on the London Fashion Week schedule with his long-time friend Agyness Deyn as his house model. But it was on his visit to his


old school, and the meeting with Mrs Berryman th a t proved to be the inspiration for his new jewellery collection. He said: “I loved my school -


and the Mayoress had an amaz­ ing mayoral necklace, really Art Deco.” Pictured, from the left, are

Youngsters go creative


WEIRD and wonderful cre­ ations have been brought to life at a rural Kibble Valley primary school. Pupils at St Mary’s Pri­


mary School, Langho, wel­ comed a poet, visual artist and storyteller for several days as p a r t of a project supported by Creative Part­ nerships - the Government’s creative learning pro­ gramme. The youngsters worked in groups with the expert guid­


ance of their special visitors and managed to write their own poems, put their liter­ ary skills to good use by writing stories and then turned their hands to mak­ ing puppets and props to re­ tell the story. At the end of the week,


parents were invited to a special “Celebration Day” assembly. At this the children per­


formed their stories and poetry around the theme of

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, March 20th, 2008 5 A mission to Mozambique by Vivien Meath_______


THIRTY pupils from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School are preparing to embark on a conser­ vation mission in Mozambique. In July, 2009, the pupils, aged


between 16 and 18, will become the first from a school/sixth-form centre to take part in Operation Wallacea, a series of biological and conservation management research programmes operating in remote locations across the world. The expeditions are designed with


specific wildlife conservation aims in mind - from identifying areas needing protection, through to implementing and assessing conservation manage­ ment programmes. The pupils will be spending one


week undertaking a conservation proj­ ect in the bush and the other, scuba diving and carrying out research into reptiles, small mammals and coral in the ocean. The projects will be carried out


under the watchful eye of university academics who are specialists in vari­ ous aspects of biodiversity or social and economic studies. The pro­ grammes have already resulted in 30 vertebrate species new to science being


discovered and four “extinct” species being re-discovered at other sites. Two of the pupils taking part are


Gemma Huntoon (16), of Read, and Alice 'Tunney (17), of Bamoldsvrick. The cost to each person taking part


will be £2,000 and, throughout the coming months, a variety of fund-rais­ ing initiatives are to take place, includ­ ing undertaking a sponsored walk of the Three Peaks in the Yorkshire Dales and bag-packing in supermar­ kets. The pupils taking part in the project are also hoping that local com­ panies may wish to sponsor them. Anyone requiring more information


should contact Mr A. Carson or Miss J. Houldsworth, the two main organ­ isers, via the school office, tel. 01200


423118. The expeditions are now operating


in seven countries: Indonesia, Hon­ duras, Egypt, Cuba, South Africa, Mozambique and Peru. In each coun­ try a long-term agreement is signed with a partner organisation (for exam­ ple Honduran Coral Reef Foimdation in Honduras, Fund Amazonia in Peru, WEI in South Africa, BioMap in Egypt, Peace Parks Foundation in Mozambique) and over the course of this agreement it is hoped to achieve a survey and management develop­ ment programme at each of the sites.


Signpost in the right direction


A NEW service aiming to point families of children \vith disabil­ ities, special or additional needs in the right direction is being launched in Clitheroe next Fri-


■day. On March 28th the Signpost


service is hosting a launch event at Ribblesdale Children’s Cen­ tre between 1-30 and 3 p.m. Signpost aims to make a dif­


ference by providing direction to help families and their chil­ dren find useful information and negotiate their way to help. Although support and practi­


cal help is available from many services and agencies, finding


the specific details and access­ ing appropriate agencies can sometimes prove difficult to negotiate and th a t is where Signpost help by providing use­ ful information and a network


of contacts. Alternatively the service also


enable families to share infor­ mation or advice which each


other. The local Signpost co-ordina­


tor is mother-of-four Bridget


Parkinson. She is also a volunteer parent


representative for Contact a Family - a national voluntary organisation working to sup­


port families caring for young­ sters with disabilities and spe­ cial needs. At Friday’s launch families


Mil be able to meet Bridget and make use of the sensory equip­ ment bought for the local com­ munity with a grant from the Local Network Fund, as well as meeting other local voluntary organisations, families and pro­ fessionals. O For anyone wanting more


details about the service, Brid­ get can be contacted at the cen­ tre by ringing 01200 423672 or by email on bparkinson@rib- blesdale-nur.lancs.sch.uk
