Euro-crazy!

WE’RE going all European this week with our first snap, below, taken on a French day in July, 1994.

Schools in Burscough held a variety of events designed to increase youngsters’ awareness of Europe.
Pupils at St John’s CE School designed their own passports and learned about travelling to different countries.

Next, we have Ormskirk Grammar School who won the trophy for orienteering awarded by Merseyside and Cheshire League, being placed first in five of the six events in April, 1994.

We have some strapping young lads in our third picture,. Our photo was taken in November, 1994, and shows the Lancashire Rugby team who beat Cumbria 41-24 at the first Sun Alliance Colts County Championship match to be staged at Ormskirk Rugby Club on Green Lane.
Phil Janson and Peter Cottam, who are crouched down in the foreground, also played for Ormskirk’s own under-19s team.

The next picture, above, shows a trio of talented musicians featured in the Ormskirk Advertiser also in November, 1994. The students from Rainford High School took part in the Merseyside Police Festival.
David Geoghan, 12, won £800 in the cornet playing category and was invited to play with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. His sister Helen, 15, finished third, playing the euphonium. Liz Dunsdon, 13, also took part in the final.
