Loving life in the great outdoors


Thirteen YearlOpupilsfrom the Ribble Valley are visit­ ing one of the country's most prestigious universities as . part of a Gifted and Talented initiative run jointly by St Augustine's and Cambridge University.


Pupils have been invited to sample lectures and other activity taster sessions at the prestigious St John’s College to give them an insight into student life, an opportunity to explore subjects that they


may not previously have expe­


rienced and a chance to meet current undergraduate stu­


dents. St Augustine’s Headteach­


er Mr Michael Wright said; “This is a wonderful oppor­ tunity to discover more about one of the top universities in the country. As well as finding out about the courses on offer and the application process, our pupils will have a chance to immerse themselves in the academic life of St John’s Col­


lege. “Through our links withSt


Mary’s College in Blackburn we have an excellent track record of success in pupils gaining places at Oxford and


Cambridge and events like this help to inspire our pupils


for the future. “At a time when universi­


ty choice and the associated costs are of such importance, visits such as this can really help to inform the next gen­ eration of undergraduates.” The University of Cam­


bridge and its Colleges are committed to widening par­ ticipation to the University


and to higher education ini general, as demonstrated by I various outreach initiatives I and events run each year, in-1 eluding links with St Augus-1 tine’s.


I The College Links Scheme I


enables schools and colleges I from anywhere in the coun-1


try to bufid a relationship with the University, and providesa


platform for prospective ap­ plicants to learn more about College choice, the admissions process, interviews, student


life, finance and higher educa­ tion in general.


Probus speakers wow their audience


The speaker at Clitheroe and District Probus Club had re­ tired from her job as a Civil Services manager and now numbered travel, art, crafts, andreadingamongsther hob­ bies and pastimes, as well as researching for a series of talks on a variety of subjects. Herprevioustwovisitshad


dealt with the life and times of L S Lowry and with Lady Randolph Churchill’s rather risque life in the early 1900’s. Now, in complete contrast, the subject was ‘TheSecret Life of Charles Dickens’. Again, the subject had been meticulously researched with photos of the main characters passed round the audience. Then on October 2nd, an­


other source of interesting in­ formation paid his third visit to the Club. Mr Peter Houlds- worth explained ‘The Per­ ils and Pitfalls of the English


Language’. Taking a world view he said


it was truly a global language with at least 350 million peo­ ple speaking it. With his back­ ground in education- notably Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Blackburn, and Clit­ heroe Royal Grammar School where he was deputy head, he brought a fund of experience and knowledge to thesubject. Derived from35differentlan- guages down the ages English


was continually evolving, and its wide use could on occasion


gave rise to interesting and extremely humorous misap­ plications, of which many ex­ amples were quoted. After a question time - so


vigorous it had to beciit short, the Chairman proposed the vote of thanks to what had been a memorable and fasci­ nating presentation. The next meeting of Clit­
