[quote]Young people in night of honour
By Samantha Shale
A GROUP of teenagers who designed an indoor caving experience which all young people can use had their achievement celebrated last night.
The seven young people, who met at Blakewater College, formed an Adventure Learning Club based in Shadsworth, Blackburn, to help young people prepare for the real thing.
The group take part in a variety of adventure sports such as snowboarding and archery and decided to make three-storey caving an adventure experience all young people could enjoy.
Their achievement was recognised at The Blackburn with Darwen Youth Service Awards at King George's Hall, Blackburn.
The group are Dominic Wright, 16, Anthony Hargreaves, 17, Laura Hillary, 16, Luke Parker, 16, Kim Chapman, Leigh Nicholson, 17 and Mark Parkinson, 18.
Dominic said: "We wanted to do caving and it's expensive so you cannot expect people to pay for it, so this will be free.
"We applied to the Youth Opportunities Fund to help us build it ourselves."
The project was funded by
