FRIENDLY rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire was all forgot­ ten when a group of holi­ day-makers from Brad­ ford descended into the picturesque borough. The


pensioners


swopped the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales to enjoy b rea th tak in g scenery of the Kibble Valley as p a r t of an eventful five-day vaca­ tion. The trip came about


after Year 9 pupils from Ribblesdale High School Technology College, Clitheroe, joined forces with Fraser Eagle coach company, the Auckland Hotel, in Morecambe, and Eaves Hall Hotel, West Bradford, selling tailor-made two-centre breaks to the pensioners as part of their Leisure


and Tourism GCSE project. Rather than learning


through textbooks in the classroom, the young en trep ren eu rs set up their own holiday com­ pany, “Rose and Trav­ el”, and marketed a real holiday to the senior cit­ izens. For just £149, tourists


on the “C ountry and C oa s t” tr ip enjoyed a twin-centre holiday, with a guided tour of the Rib- ble Valley, including excursions and evening entertainment. They


stopped


overnight a t the Eaves Hall Hotel, before mak­ ing their way to the Oak- lands Hotel, in More­ cambe. The Kibble Valley is


steeped in heritage and during th e i r stay, the v is itors were able to explore its many hidden treasures. These includ­


ed picture-postcard vil­ lages, Clitheroe Castle, Pendle Hill and the 14th Century Samlesbury Hall. Elsewhere in East Lancashire, they visited the Pendle Heritage Centre, in Barrowford and Boundary Mill Stores, in Colne, before soaking up th e sights and sounds of More­ cambe. The vis itors also


enjoyed a spooky treat when they were taken on a historical guided tour around Eaves Hall Hotel by famous Clitheroe ghostwalker Simon Entwistle.


Beautiful Mrs Dorothy


Townsend (64), of Brad­ ford, was among the tourists. She said: “We thoroughly enjoyed oqr trip to the Kibble Valley. I had not been to this area before and was very


\ \ ,


impressed with the beau­ tiful countryside, partic­ u la r ly around Eaves Hall Hotel. “The help from pupils


was excellent and very friendly. On the coach the pupils told us about Pendle Hill and the witches and pointed out the River Ribble.” Similar views were


expressed by 93-year-old Mr Frederick Pickering, also of Bradford. He said: “I have been


on th is holiday eight times before. “ I t ’s like coming


home! The pupils looked after me very well, espe­ cially d eputy head­ teacher Mr Davidson,


who accompanied me back to Morecambe in the coach so th a t I wouldn't get overtired. We had an overnight stay a t Eaves Hall Hotel, with dinner and breakfast.” ■ Meanwhile, coach driver Michael Banham, from Frazer Eagle, who lives in Burnley, said he was impressed with the excellent work and organisational skills of the pupils.


Comfortable He added: “The pupils


came along to the garage in Burnley and we trav­ elled to Bradford to col­ lect th e guests. The


pupils helped with the luggage, then helped to find the customers a seat and make sure they were comfortable. “They also helped to


serve tea, coffee and hot chocolate very efficient­ ly to the holiday-mak­ ers.”


Mr Andrew Davidson,


deputy headteacher at Ribblesdale High, worked closely with the children in ensuring the holiday package was a success.


“Everyone had a fan­


tastic time and enjoyed themselves. There was


so much to do and see,” he said. He added he was


delighted with the way the pupils handled the project and believes gaining hands-on experi­ ence by getting involved in a real marketing cam­ paign is the best way. “The teenagers initial­


ly sent out a direct mail shot to p o ten t ia l cus­ tomers, produced flyere to advertise the holid^K^ i and also went to Bra^*^ | ford City Hall to a civic reception where they promoted th e ir cam­ paign. They used their own initiative to organ­ ise the holiday. “The teamwork has


been excellent and the pupils have worked very professionally.”
