A request has also been received for a driver to pick up a lady in Barrow for the Sunday service each week.-Shona Richardson, the transport co-ordina­ tor, would appreciate hearing from anyone able to help. Family worship at 10- 30 a.m. on Sunday will be led by Sue Stansworth and Nicola Bamber. Prayer meetings are held in the homes of church members on Thursdays.


Healthy school As a nationally recog­ nised _ “healthy


' school”, Whalley Primary School is supporting, the Change4ForLife- campaign, which encourages healthy snacks. Key Stage I children are provided with fruit, but the head­ teacher Brian Beres- ford is encouraging parents to send fruit or items such as car-


' rots and celery sticks for others.


Tomorrow, the last day before half-term, all children will take part in workshops and activities organ­ ised as part of the “ F u n d am e n ta l Coaching - healthy way of life” initia­ tive, which is a com-


. prehensive pro­ gramme to teach primary school chil­ dren about key healthy eating and physical activity


through art, drama, music, play and hands-on experience with food. All participants will receive educational and puzzle books and may take part in sporting activities using an inflatable assault course. PE kit is essential and donations of £1.20 for each child taking part are requested, as the course is very expensive.


Ascension As Thurdsday is no longer a Holy Day, Akension Day will be observed on Sun­ day at the English Martyrs’ RC Church, Whalley, at 11 a.m. Organised by the SVP Society members, the outing to Helmshore Mill attracted a good number of people, who were fascinated by the information and displays.


Peter Pan More volunteers are needed to take part in transporting young people with learning difficulties to meet sociallly in Accrington.


At present, three young people from Whalley go on these outings, lea-ving at 6- 30 p.m. and being collecte at 9 p.m.


It is hoped that more vounteers will reduce the number of trips required per driver from four or five a year.


Anyone able to help is asked to contact Denis Cassidy on 01254 822345 or Fr Philip Price oh 823283.

Woman was attacked after a two-hour trek


AFTER a late night row with her boyfriend at his Clitheroe home a Rishton woman set off to walk home.


Blackburn magistrates heard that an hour into her trek, Victoria Fallon was phoned by her partner who said he had the key to her home.


And when she walked all the way back to Clitheroe, he pushed her over a railing before locking the dooron her.


Grove, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to assault. He was made subject to community supervision for 18 monte and ordered to pay £100 in compensation and £60 costs.


Miss Catherine Allan (prosecuting) said the couple had been out togeth-


' er and the intention had been to . stay at Lewis’s home in Clitheroe.


“An argument started and she decid­ ed the best thing was to leave and walk home to Rishton,” said Miss Allan.


Simon David Lewis (32), of The “He called to say he had the key, but


when she got back to The Grove he refused to give her the key. He then got hold of her and pushed her over a hand rail outside the front door before locking her out.”


Mr Richard Prew (defending) said the 12 months the couple had been together had been difficult for both of them.


“Drink has caused them to fall out and come into contact with the police previously,” said Mrs Prew.


“He accepts the relationship is now over.”
