Ruined day


CLITHEROE, Naturalists travelled to the Lake Dis- trict on Saturday under the leadership of Mrs T.. Scott. Destination was Ullswater, the intention being to sail from Glenrid- ding to How Town and walk back along the shore. Unfortunately s tr o n g winds and heavy rain made sailing impossible and the larty had to compromise- iy- walking around Glen-' ridding.


■ ■ : After lunch they sailed


from Waterhead to Win­ dermere but the day was ruined from a scenic point of view by the rain and mist. Next walk is to Sab­ den Fold on Saturday, September 23rd. Leader, J. Gregory. Private coach from station, 1 p.m. '

Outstanding playing at Clitheroe recital 1 ,


THE ,-17th- anniversary; recital of the completion of i the rebuilding, of; Clitheroe,!


Parish Church 'organ - was" given by Mr Peter * Hur-


ford, organist at St Albans Cathedral. One of Mr Hurford’s


chief claims to fame is his playing of , the music.of J. S. Bach, a great deal of which he has recorded; For


ithis recital he chose the G Major Prelude and Fugue, -


• a:Work of-drive and vigour/ .which was fully exploited/ and-the Trio Sonata in E


flat. 1


\


The sounds he extracted from the organ were crys-.


tal clear and the ,whole per­ formance was a model of outstanding playing. ; i-


He also played the Fan­


ta s ia , and Fugue in _G Minor, works by Hin­ demith and Pachelbel, and one of his own composi­ tions.: ■
