Constable Neville Duke promised these Emley youngsters a trip of a lifetime if they
Constable Neville Duke promised these Emley youngsters a trip of a lifetime if they raised £ 600 - and now they have succeeded they have found they will have to paddle their own canoe. The youngsters are delighted - for PC Duke, their local community constable, is taking them canoeing in the South of France. They set off tomorrow and return on Friday. PC Duke said he organised the trip because youngsters in the area had nothing to do after the age of 14 - when they were too old for the local youth club. The youngsters raise the necessary £ 600 with sponsored clean-ups, a jumble sale and BMX trail. The pupils, who all attend Shelley High School, are Richard Wilkinson, Lee Matthews, Jonathan Taylor, Tim Sellers, Andrew Matley, Richard Garner, Jason Blanes, Simon Pluck, Andrew Tyas and Timothy Capwell. 19th September 1986

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see a group of enthusiastic youngsters from Emley, West Yorkshire, who have accomplished an incredible feat. Constable Neville Duke had made them a promise - if they managed to raise £600, he would take them on the trip of a lifetime. And now, with their determination and hard work paying off, these children are about to embark on an unforgettable adventure. Their destination? The picturesque South of France. But there's a twist - instead of being chauffeured around in luxury vehicles or guided by tour operators, these brave young souls will be paddling their own canoes! Despite the unexpected challenge that awaits them, their faces radiate pure joy and excitement. PC Duke organized this extraordinary expedition because he recognized that after reaching the age of 14, local youth were left with limited options for entertainment and engagement. Determined to fill this void in their lives, PC Duke spearheaded various fundraising activities such as sponsored clean-ups, jumble sales, and even a BMX trail. The pupils attending Shelley High School proved themselves to be true champions by raising the necessary funds through sheer dedication and community spirit. Their names - Richard Wilkinson, Lee Matthews Jonathan Taylor Tim Sellers Andrew Matley Richard Garner Jason Blanes Simon Pluck Andrew Tyas Timothy Capwell - deserve recognition for their remarkable achievement. This snapshot captures not only the boundless enthusiasm of these youngsters but also highlights the positive impact one caring individual can make within a community. It serves as a reminder that sometimes all it takes is someone willing to go above and beyond for others to create lasting memories and inspire future generations.
