project Stephen, who managed the


Ciitheroe branch of Barclays Bank from 1994 to 1997, takes over as the Grand’s schools and projects development manager. The ex-Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School head, boy, said: “It is a real privilege to be working at the Grand. There’s so much positive work going on here, and living in Ciitheroe. means I have many contacts aheady. “My brief is to work closely


with the schools to look for ways in which we can develop the range and reach of the projects we provide at The Grand.” The new man at the helm will work alongside schools

Padiham j Mill


project co-ordinator Stephanie Clarkson and Louise England, who have done so much to establish the Grand’s links with local schools. He added: “We’ve got a


fantastic team at the Grand, and I want as many young people as possible to feel for themselves the unique experience the Grand offers.” Chris Richardson, the


Grand’s development director, said: “This is a key appointment. We’ve nurtured a very strong relationship with the junior


and high schools in the Ribble Valley, helping encourage children’s talents via the Grab talent show and Backstage Pass, and this appointment is another giant commitment to developing those links. Stephen is the ideal choice.” Stephen, whose father was


the former deputy headteacher at- St Wilfrid’s Scho o l, Blackburn, is the brother of Martin Blackburn, a football correspondent for The Sun. Stephen can be contacted on

Cotton queens pics plea


CLITHEROE Library is looking to stage an exhibition to celebrate Lancashire Day on November 27th. The display will


focus on the mills in Ciitheroe and part of it will feature what were known as “cottOn queens”. These were girls chosen from each of the mills to promote them individually dur­ ing Cotton Week. Sue Holden, com­


munity history man­ ager at the library said she was looking for items that would make the display more com­ plete. “The photographs


from the newspaper at the time are not the best quality, so we’re hoping to appeal to anyone who might have any photographs of the cotton queens and might be willing to lend us them,” she said. “The dresses were


really beautiful and a lot of work went into them. The queens all had retinues too, so there were a lot of lo­ cal people involved.' If you can help,


please contact Ciithe­ roe Library on 01200 428788.


Students win Fringe


FOUR Ribble Valley drama students from St Mary’s College, Black­ burn, have outclassed many professional com­ panies by gaining a pres­ tigious award from the Edinburgh Fringe Arts


Festival. The FringeGuru website


which reviews all shows dur­ ing the three weeks of the Edinburgh Fringe has just announced its nine Editors’ Choice Awards - and St Mary’s Youth Theatre is up there with the very best. The editors chose the col-.


lege production because: “For those - and there are many - who criticise the big-name commercial­ ism of the modern Fringe, St Mary’s College Youth Theatre offer the perfect alternative. It’s the second year running they’ve im­ pressed our reviewers, with another visually imagina­ tive, self-written, elegantly-


presented play. Above all though. Force Quit wins its award for a clever, well-de­ veloped concept - th e un­ mistakable product of a new generation.^’ The review goes on to say:


“The ensemble cast are al­ most uniformly strong, and


their commitment is impec­ cable; they’re perfectly re­ hearsed, with a discipline and focus that would put some professionals to shame.” “Force Quit” presents the


story of coma patient Rebec­ ca, whose loss of memory is tied to events in her past and


PRESTIGIOUS AWARD: Ribble Valley students Magda Cas­ sidy, from Gis- burn, (first from left), Emily Wardle,from Ciitheroe, sec­ ond from left), SebThrelfall, from Ciitheroe, (third from left, front row) and Christian Cerami, from Wilpshire, (extreme right, back row), (s)


likens her desperate attempts to regain those blocked memories to corrupted files in a computer system. It was St Mary’s second


trip to the Edinburgh Fringe. • In August 2010 they took a production of “The Piano Player” to the same venue.


SOmph speed limit plan welcomed by MEP


PLANS to raise the motorway speed limit to SOmph have been welcomed by MEP Paul Nuttall, who represents the Ribble Valley. “As a frequent motorway user, I know


that the current 70mph limit is regularly ignored and the police turn a blind eye to this unless the driver is doing consid­


erably over the limit,” said Mr Nuttall, the UK Independence Party MEP for the North-'West. “If it were raised to SOmph it would


boost the economy because delivery drivers and other commercial users would be able to reach their destina­ tions quicker.”


“In these difficult financial times busi-


ness needs all the help it can get and this would be one way of helping. “Since the current limit was imposed


cars have improved immeasurably and have much greater safety features and I believe an SOmph limit makes sense,” he added.
