Dining’s fine at Stonyhurst College


STONYHURST’S new Dining Refectory was open for business for the first time on the firsfday of the Easter term, much to the delight o f pupils, staff-and. the college’s catenng team. The new dining area can seat


-320 people and has state-of-the- art Ktchen facilities. Designed by Preston-based architects Cassidy and Ashton, English Heritage has described the new building as “ quietly modern - standing as an obvious addition to the complex without competing with Stonyhurst’s more historical ele­ ments” . Sandstone harmonises with the buildings around it, while modern zinc and alumini­ um panels resonate with the slate used elsewhere. The glass front has opened up beautiful views across the western approach to Stonyhurst and has created a light and spacious dining envi­ ronment. Headmaster Andrew Johnson


said: “We are absolutely delight­ ed with this beautiful new facility, which will enhance the lives of all our pupils. I particularly like the wonderful views across the ponds to the grounds beyond.”

Don’t forget to ‘treecycle’


RESIDENTS in Ribble Valley are being advised of refuse collection arrangements for Christmas waste. Real Christmas trees should be chopped


up and placed inside green bins, or for households not on the green wheeled bin service tied up and left with burgundy bins or lilac sacks on the green waste collection week. More than eight million real Christmas


trees were bought in the UK, the majority o f which will be thrown away, generating 160,000 tonnes o f waste equating to 21 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower. More than 83 square kilometres of


wrapping paper will also be thrown away, enough to cover Hyde Park 33 times. Wrapping paper, Christmas cards and cardboard can be left for collection in white waste paper sacks. Foil roasting and pie trays can be recy­


cled in blue bins, while unwanted clothes can be taken to one of the borough’s many textile banks. Other Christmas waste can be taken to the Henthorn Household Waste Recycling Centre in Clitheroe and the Chapel Hill Household Waste Recy­ cling Centre in Longridge.

Village pub closing for refurbishment


A V IL LAG E pub is to close until next month for a refurbishment under new ownership. The 17th century Bayley Arms Hotel,


at Hurst Green, was recently acquired by Nextep Inns, who also own two other Rib­ ble Valley pubs. The Feilden’s Arms at Mellor Brook and The Bay Horse at Os- baldeston, plus the Red Lion at Wybun- buty, Cheshire. The Bayley Arms will close next Mon­


day, January 14th, and will re-open on February 9th when locals will be invited to view the changes and enjoy a complimen­ tary buffet. The refurbishment will involve upgrading and redecoration, with the res­ taurant less separated from the pub sec­ tion, which will retain its sporting theme. Nextep said the Bayley would follow the


same formula as their other pubs, as a lo­ cal with a range o f cask ales and a menu combining traditional favourites with


MP’s welcome for mentoring scheme


L A N C A S H IR E County Council’s £3m project to re­ cruit ex-services personnel as mentors in the county’s schools has been given sup­ port from Ribble Valley MP Mr Nigel Evans. The Deputy Speaker o f


the House o f Commons welcomed the next phase of the scheme, which got under way this week and in which mentors who have served in the armed forces will pro­ vide support to pupils aged 14 and 16 to improve their achievement in class and ad­ dress their school attendance levels. It is also hoped that the


scheme will reduce the number o f pupils who are excluded from schools over a five year programme.


Mr Evans said: “ I am


hugely supportive of this ini­ tiative, which I think will reap great dividends. These ex­ services mentors will provide inspiration to pupils across Lancashire and I think that the scheme is an incredibly positive one for all involved. “ I look forward to the


project being rolled out in the Ribble Valley andl hope that both pupils and the ex- service mentors will find it rewarding.” In addition to support­


ing ex-service personnel to retrain and obtain employ­ ment, the proposal will also contribute towards a reduc­ tion in the number of young people who are not in educa­ tion, employment or training in Lancashire.


more contemporary offerings. Managing director John Knowles said: “ It will be a tasteful refurbishment to further enhance its relaxed ambience. “The Bayley is a fantastic pub with real


old-world appeal in a beautiful setting and its reputation goes before it. “We very much see ourselves as custo­


dians of it and our aim is to restore it to its former trading glory, all the time preserv­ ing its character.”
