HOLIDAYS ^ - FROM ONLY
To Russia with love...
AUDIENCE members at, the lat est meeting of Clitheroe Univer sity o f the Third Age were trans ported to sunny Russia! They enjoyed an illustrated
presentation by Anita and Steiiart Kellington on their visit during an August heatwave to Moscow and St Petersburg. The talk was inter spersed with appropriate Russian music. In Moscow they saw the site of
the controversial 1980 Olympics- which the Americans refused to attend. The most iconic building in the city is St Basil’s Cathedral with its nine “ onion-shaped” domes, but there are numerous other ca thedrals - with no seating in any of them! The impressive Kremlin build
ing is huge, with a one-and-a-half mile perimeter wall. The state ran a department store called GUM, which is now very well stocked
' and reflects how the country has
changed since the fail of commu nism.. The Kellingtons found the met
ro system to be not only very effi cient, but with striking decor, too, from bronze statues o f socialist heroes to mosaics showing work ers on farm collectives. The Kellingtons continued their
holiday by bullet train the 400 miks to St Petersburg which, from 1924 to 1991, was known as Lenin- the Great oversaw the
building o f the city which shows how influenced the Tsar was by his
visits to Europe and his tomb is to be found here. The memorial to the Second
World War siege o f Leningrad remembers people who starved to death during this terrible pe riod in the city’s history. Here, too, there are cathedrals influenced by St Basil’s and even a Lutheran
church built by the 18th Century German community.
^ Stroganoff Palace is popular
with visitors, as is the Winter Pal ace, now a museum known as The Hermitage. It has an impressive collection o f Western art by many famous painters and sculptors. In the main cemetery are the graves o f composers Pyotr Tchaikovsky andNikpIai Rimsky Korsakov. What struck those who attended the event was how distinctive the
Russian architecture was and also the interiors o f the many cathe drals and palaces which Anita and Steuart visited.
The branch’s AGM will take
place on February 12th followed by a talk by Bob Lawson enti tled “Sarawak... The Land of the White Rajahs” .

whole school is involved, looking at ways Moorland can become more eco-fricndly,” said science teacher Elaine Shaw. “The children have studied animal habi
tats - for example how the fish and the frogs in the school pond live - and now they want to grow their own vegetables in the spring.
“They’ve also launched an eco club, with
students from each year group and teach ers sharing their aims and objectives for the environment.” The ECo School project is a pupil-led
international programme to help improve the school environment and raise aware ness of environmental issues. She added: “We’ve put recycling boxes in every classroom, and by collecting paper
and cardboard we can significantly reduce waste. “Being greener is about reducing the amount of resources we consume and be-
, ing responsible with those that we use. “Making small environmental savings
can reduce electricity and water bills, help ing us to put more money back into the school for extra resources.” _MoorJand headteacher Mr Jonathan Harrison said: “This is a fantastic and most worthwhile project. I ’m very proud of the way the whole of Moorland School has em braced this environmental challenge.”
