CHILDREN at Sabden Primary School have raised hundreds of pounds to buy their own playground equipment. All 112 pupils, from
energetic three-year-olds up, did some form of sponsored physical activ ity. In addition, a cake
stall at the Christmas Fair raised further funds towards the total of £528. Through the school
council, which is made up of two representative pupils from each class, pupils have bought a wide array of play equip ment including plastic
hoops, a foam bowling set, bean bags, a soft kick football, tennis balls and a large treasure chest to keep it all in. Headteacher Mrs San
dra Dundon said: “When all the money was in they decided what they want ed for the yard.” She agreed it was an
amazing amount Of money to be raised and added: “All the children took part. “They haven’t spent
all the money, we just need to get some benches for people who want to s it and read a book. There is something for everyone really.”
Gangsters on the loose at school
PUPILS from a Valley high school will be treading the boards next week in a production of “Bugsy Malone”. The show is being staged at Rib-
blesdale High School Technology College from April 1st to 3rd. Loosely based on Chicago’s pro
hibition era, the musical stars chil dren as custard firing gangsters. For the performances at Ribbles-
dale, the parts of the show’s three main characters - Busgy, Tallulah
and Blousey Brown - are being shared. Alec Tomlinson, Chloe Hin- dle and Millie Wardle will be play ing the leads on the first and third nights, while Chris O’Reilly, Xan- the Taylor-Wood and Megan Atherton will be in the star roles for the second performance. Rehearsals started in January for
the show which follows the success of last year’s performances of “West Side Story”. Ms Heather Holaday is directing the show and the music
is being provided by the school band. As well as appearing on stage, pupils will also be helping out behind the scenes. • Year five youngsters from Rib-
blesdale’s feeder schools have been invited to go along to watch one of the two dress rehearsals which are taking place on Monday or Tues day afternoon. Schools wanting to confirm their
attendance are asked to ring Rib- blesdale’s English department on .01200422563.
drive his team to victory in the Oxford and Cam bridge Veterans’ Boat Race. The last time he com
pleted the famous stretch between Putney and Mortlake was in 1994, when he was in the losing Oxford boat in the big race itself. “There is obviously not
the same sort of pressure as the Boat Race itself, but we want to win all the same,” said Andrew. “Unfortunately the River Ribble doesn’t lend itself to rowing, but we have a very well equipped weights room at the school and I am toning myself up on the ergometer.” Andrew, who was
appointed last Septem ber from Radley College, where he taught econom ics and history, has an impressive rowing record. He started rowing in 1986 as a second year
undergraduate at the University of Cape Town and in 1987 won a seat in the university’s 1st VIII, which won the South African Universities Boat Race that year. In 1991 he moved to
Johannesburg and rowed for the Old Edwardian Boat Club, winning the South African National Championships in 1991 and 1992 in the men’s eight, and the coxless four event in 1992. “There was great
excitement when South Africa was re-admitted to the Olympic family in 1992, after a period of isolation since 1960,” said
Andrew. “I won a seat in the South African Olympic Eight and we came eighth in the Men’s VI I I in the Barcelona Olympic Games. I went up to Oxford in 1992 and won a Blue in 1994, sadly rowing in the losing crew against Cambridge that year.” Married with three
children, Andrew was a vice-president at JP Morgan Chase bank before joining the teach ing profession. The veterans’ race
takes place tomorrow, the day before this year’s University Boat Race on Saturday.
