falling heavily when the junior children wrapped up warm to go out'and build lots of snowmen. Everyonei had a brilliant time and almost forgot the cold — especially when given the chance to use one of th e “sculp­ tures” for snowball tar­ get practice Later in the .day the


Moorland boarders thor­ oughly' enjoyed the chance to stretch their legs round a circular walk in the Brungerley Park area. The trees, laden with


snow, were a rare sight for some of the students, more used to the scenery of Hong Kong, Vietnam or Nigeria. And, of course, th e re was the


chance to play too... even te ach ers Mr Dermod Ruddock and Miss Kay Gibson commented on


the rare chance to walk in such deep and fresh snow r ig h t on the school’s doorstep in the


Ribble Valley. Pictured are pupils making the most of the winter weather, (s)

Get wind of cash grants


TIME is running out for local schools and communities to access grants of up to £100,000 to install wind turbines as a sustainable way of meeting their energy


needs. The Ethical Energy


Group (EEG) exists to encourage and facilitate faster uptake of Govern­ ment funding for com­ munity-based renewable energy installations . Schools and communi­ ties - especially those in rural settings like the Ribble Valley - can access grants of up to £100,000 to assist in the building of wind tu r ­


bines, but time is run­ ning out to apply. Bob Harris, award-winning ecological builder and member of EEG, said: “The Government is offering grants to schools and communities to pro­ mote the bu ild in g of wind turbines which pro­ vide a low-carbon energy source as well as su b ­ s tan t ia l income for decades to coma However, time is short


- those interested must apply by the end of Jan­ uary and EEG is well- positioned to help with the application process." EEG was established

Death of antiques


by Julie Magee


WELL respected Whalley antique dealer Mr Edmund William


Davies has died aged 81. Born in Manchester, he had only


been a t North Manchester Grammar School for a short period when tragedy struck-and his family’s home was bombed during thp Second World War. Only Edmund, then aged 12, and his


father, a local policeman, who had been on duty a t the time, survived . His mother, 14-year-old sister and three- month-old baby brother were all killed in the blast. As his father was badly needed by


the police force at that time, Edmund was subsequently evacuated to his aimt’s house in South Wales. There he attended Tonypandy Grammar School u ntil he was 18, a t which point he joined the Army, experiencing deploy­ ments abroad to destinations such as Eygpt. Following his National Service,


Edmund (pictured) completed his teacher training in North Wales before gaining teaching posi­ tion in Man­ chester. I t v/as through the M a n c h e s te r Teachers’ Dra­ matic Society thab'Edmund met his wife. Miss Gloria Me Areavy. The couple married and settled in Mellor, Cheshire, and had two children, Judith and Philip, before Edmund was appointed headtocher at Bentgate Special School, now Tor View Community Special School, in Hasling- den. After retiring, Edmund worked with


his wife, who had opened an antique shop in Whalley dealing in 17th and 18th Century country furniture and long case clocks. The reins of the family business were eventually handed to the couple’s son, Philip, who continues to run the successful King Street-based business today. Recognised as one of the leading


antique dealers of the North West, Edmund, through the business, devel­ oped an interest in horology, which is the science of time measurement, espe­ cially, the manufacture of clocks, watches and chronometers. After years of research, his fascina­

tion with timepieces led him' to pen the academic book “Greater Manchester Clocks and Clockmakers”. It was pub­ lished in 2007 and has been well received in the horological world Edmund’s creative mind yielded


other literary achievements during his lifetime - several of his poems have been published and his short stories have fea­ tured on Radio Foim
