Ghildren’s imaginations run wild Club’s challenge to cyclists


PUPILS from Ribblesdale High School Technology College, Clitheroe, allowed their literary imagination to run wild during a three-day festival.


: The school’s literary festival


2009 involved poetry workshops by Mike Garry, from Manchester, storytelling sessions by Pete Keal, from Hebden Bridge, ghost tales by Clitheroe’s Simon Entwistle


and a creative writing workshop by local author Jane England. ., - ;> ■ Several primary schools were


'involved, including St James, . Brookside, Pendle and St Micheal and St John, along with Years 7 to 9 pupils from Ribblesdale High. •. ' A spokesman for the school said:,


“This year’s literary festival was a great success. Outside speakers


local community were'strength­ ened. Over the three days more


. than 650 people enjoyed a ses- sion/workshop with one of our guests. A visit to Castlefield Home for the elderly, Clitheroe, and an in-school workshop for hearing- impaired pupils from several estab­ lishments were also included in what was a very successful and'


were brought in and links with the,. ■ enjoyable festi'val.” ■


FOR the keen, enthusiastic cyclist who is fit and wants a challenge, the Flat Moss Audax is just the experience for you. The Ribble Valley Cycling Club is


organising three challenging bike rides on Sunday, September 27th, leaving from Claughton Memorial Village Hall, near Garstang (OS grid ref. SD.513428). The longest of the rides is 132 miles
