the retired plumber known more for his shock of white hair, raucuous laugh, total commitment to the railways and "if you want omelettes, you have to break a few eggs" aproach, has headed a team of volunteers, demonstrating the same enthusiasm for the Mil­ lennium Torchlight as he did for bringing the trains back to the Ribble Valley. His initial involvement


in Torchlight was in the early 1950s, when Mr Harold Kendrick intro­ duced him to the organisa­ tion behind the spectacu­ lar tradition. Today, Mr Moore, with


wifo.'Eileen, and civic visi­ tors from Rossendale, watching and learning in possible preparation for a similar spectacle in their own community. Despite major heart


surgery almost two years ago, when lie was approached about chairing the committee, Mr Moore needed no second asking. A committee was formed


Mr Roger Hurst and Mrs Kath Rawlinson are three of the longest serving "members". However, many were pleased to see the man who was pivotal in many torchlights of days gone by, Mr Ron Pickup, back in town on Saturday with his


around 18 months ago. "Some previous people had left, some declined due to age, so we formed a new one. We have some extremely good people, including a number of young ones," said Mr Moore, praising and thank­ ing his team, particularly Clitheroe Town Council clerk Mr John Wells, who, he said "has been brilliant," and Mr Syd Chamley whose work in lighting the Castle Keep saw Clitheroe on a par with Scotland's best for two nights. Describing the prepara­


tion, Mr Moore comment­ ed: "It's how you do it. You can have a lot of fun. We


have enjoyed it." The financial structure


behind the 21st Torchlight could have given many of

the volunteers sleepless nights. However, with 4,000 programmes printed, a multitude of collection tins and, for the first time, sou­ venirs, all were quietly con­ fident that the outstanding money from the £13,000 cost would be raised. Ribble Valley Borough Council had covered the £2,000 lighting bill for the Castle Keep, with the remaining £11,000 needed for fire­ works, insurance, bands, programmes etc. and any residue will head towards the Mayor of Clitheroe's Welfare Fund. Nothing runs totally


£6,000 fireworks display put the cap on a night to remember. As expected, Mr Moore


managed to bring the trains into the Torchlight, with First North Western agree­ ing to put on special late trains enabling visitors from Blackburn and beyond to travel into Clitheroe with­ out their cars. Ilis volun­ tary work with Radio Lan­ cashire ensured plenty of publicity for that and Torchlight as a whole. "The pleasure we have all


smoothly, and throughout the months of committee meetings and planning there have been stumbling blocks. To compensate, there have been highs aplenty; the best, without a doubt, the faces of the thousands who thoroughly enjoyed Saturday's proces­ sion then, heads upturned, gazed in wonder as the


gained is from seeeing everyone having a good time. If they all say 'i t’s been a cracking night,' then it has been worthwhile," he


added. Clitheroe and beyond can


assure Mr Moore and his team that it certainly was! Pictured with his prede
