Harvestservice St John’s C of E School


pupils and staff celebrated the annual harvest service at the church, led by the Vicar, the Rev. Robert Fielding. The children’s’ singing


was accompanied by music teacher Mrs Kim Raynor. The school choir had been re­ hearsing the song “Time Will Tell”, but this had been to a CD, which unfortunately broke down minutes before they performed, so this perform­ ance had to be cancelled. The pupils who welcomed


the congregation were Jona­ thon Nightingale and Kate Butterworth. The service opened with the hymns “Pears and Apples” arid “Cauliflowers Fluffy”, which both had rous­ ing choruses. The children were invited to present their harvest gifts to the vicar, ■ assisted by the headteacher Mr David Smith and Year 6 teacher Mrs Karen Casson. Key Stage 1 pupils then


performed their presentation featuringtherainbowand col- * ours. The colours were mixed to represent the rainbow, which is the symbol of peace. “I Can Sing a Rainbow” was


. then sung. The Key Stage 2 presenta­


tion represented gold and silver, with the children presenting their thoughts on the gifts of friendship, kind­ ness, generosity and sharing family values. “1’dLiketo Teach the World to Sing” was sung and this was followed by a meaningful presentation by the vicar using pasta. He explained how it came


from a grain of wheat. There was a sheaf of wheat in church and a 70-year-old plough. The vicar told the children how the plough was used in olden ‘ days to dig a furrow to plant the wheat seeds. He also used an old poster ofthosedays to - celebrate harvest time., The final hymn was “Au­


tumn Days”. The harvest gifts were be sent to the food bank.

Dog owners are sitting up and taking notice of Britain's fastest-growing dog sport, Flyball.


Dog breeder and trainer Ha- zell Brown has set up a Ribble Valley offshoot of The Reiver Rebels,originallyformedfour years ago at Newcastle. The team is training at


Waddow Hall, Waddington, every Sunday during the win­ ter, and is welcoming new members who are interested in training their dogs either forcompetitionorjustforfun. “Flyball is great fun. The


dogs and handlers love it,” said team captain Hazell, who lives at Bashall Eaves and works as an administrator in Clitheroe. Flyball is a relay race with


four dogs and their handlers in each team. The dogs race againstateaminanotherlane over four hurdles, retrieve a

ball from a box and return it to the handler. The next dog does the same and so on un­ til all four dogs have run. The winning team is the first to get all four dogs over the line with - out any faults. Hazell added: “It’s a fun


sport for your dog, any dog, any age, any size. If your dog is fit enough it can play Flyball. “Owners of any age and size


can also take part. The find they will get fitter too. “It may look fast and fran­


tic, but all dogs competing have had a lot of time dedi­ cated to their training so that thesportisnotonly enjoyable for dogs andhandlers but also safe for all, allowing the dogs

of humour helps, especially in the early days. New dogs can


join at any time for an initial six-week course." Anyone interested can

Call for young people to get involved in


Agroupofyoungpeople.who are setting up a mini enter­ prise in Clitheroe are calling upon other young people to


join the project. . Spring into Action, which


offers services to young people in partnership with other providers, is working with a group of young peo­ ple to teach them business and committee skills to help them set up a mini enter­ prise that they will run. LancashireCountyCoun-


cil and the BIBAs Foundation has funded Spring into Phab, which stands for People Have Abilities, volunteering to teach young people aged 16-25 key business skills and help them to set up and run a multi-activity club for other children and young people. Lucy Hamlin, director


of Spring into Action, said: “This is an innovative project which sees young people learn a range of skills that they can put into practice as they launch the enterprise. Young people are supported by staff, but all decisions on the club will be made by the


young people who will be­ come committee members. “This is a very real enter­


prise project where young people will make decisions, launch a genuine club and volunteer within that club to ensure it runs smoothly. “There are opportuni­


ties for young people with and without disabilities to initially take part in the project,taking on club roles and learning everything from fundraising to mar­ keting, finance to committee skills. Those young people will then become volun­ teers within the club, which is expected to launch in April 2016. This will also give very real skills and experience to theyoungpeople taking part which they can use in later life.”


■- To get involved go down


to Clitheroe Community Fire Station, Princess Avenue on Thursday evenings from 7 - 9 pm. For more details call
