Th e Audi A6. Voted World Car of the Year 2005.


The verdict has been reached. 48 automotive journalists from over 21 countries have awarded the inaugural title of 'World Car of the Year* to the Audi A6. In taking this honour, the sporty luxury saloon outshone its 35 rivals in a range of criteria from environmental responsibility to the less tangible 'wow factor'. It's clear there's no competition for a car made entirely from Vorspruog durch Technik. For more information or to arrange a test drive, please contact us on the details below.

WIND power will soon provide heat and light at a remote Ribble Valley church. In what is thought to be a first for a


church, Tosside Parish's Dalehead Church, pictured, is to have a wind turbine installed to generate power for heating and lighting. Isolated and windswept, the church was


built in 1937 using material from the origi­ nal Dalehead Parish Church. It was demol­ ished when the Dalehead valley, including the village of Stocks-in-Bowland, was flooded to create Stocks Reservoir. Now the church, officially known as St James, is in need of major renovation and the parish of Tosside has raised £115,000 for the work, which will include installing the wind turbine.

Smith, said: “It is a special chmch in many ways. It is set in Gisburn Forest, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the churchyard itself is the smallest desig­ nated Biological Heritage site in the coun­ try, with 130 different plant species includ­ ing orchids and a rare species of comfrey. “It is the only public building on the east


Procession^ {-Led by


side of the reservoir. We hold monthly serv­ ices for the few who have links with the old village and it also acts as a wayside chapel


for passers-by and a refuge against bad weather for walkers and cyclists. Up to now we've had bottled gas heating, but this new source of power and heat will keep the building dry for better preservation. Not many churches can say they're powered by wind as well as the Holy Spirit!" Currently the church is closed for wor­


ship from January to March, but after refurbishment it will be used all year round and will include display areas depicting the history of the area and upland farming, as well as being a venue for lectures. Mr Russell-Smith added: "This is a


definitively Christian project. We want to enable people to use the place to sense peace, to pray and to commune with nature and God - as well as helping them see our place in the history of the area. "Being at the church reminds me of my


time in Kenya: there's no other public building nearby and I know many find the silence and tranquility therapeutic." Building work will begin in January and


it is hoped that the church will be rededi­ cated next June. Grants have been provided by Defra, the


Lancashire Environment Fund, the Forest of Bowland AONB Sustainable Develop­ ment Fund, English Nature, the Heritage Lottery Fund and local benefactors, (s)


Group taken on an unfamiliar journey


AN unfamiliar part of Yorkshire was visit­ ed in an illustrated lecture to Clitheroe Naturalists. Mr Jack Thompson spoke on “North


and the audience was told that butterflies are uncommon in the area, but not moths including the woolly bear, burnet and drinker moth caterpillar, which were illus­


Humberside Spurn - A Naturalists’ Look” which covered a period of three months when he was employed by the RSPB to record and protect the Little Tern during its breeding season. Coastal erosion in the area is calculated


at around two yards each year and Spurn Point has shifted position at least five


times. The geology is boulder clay from the Ice


Age and the edge of the water is dirty and littered with debris. The Little Tern, the smallest of all Eng­

lish breeding terns, was to be protected from any form of disturbance in the form of attacking kittiwakes, peregrine falcons, foxes and humans. The birds lay a maxi­ mum of three eggs in a scrape well dis­ guised on the shingle. Included in Mr Thompson’s slides were


pictures of plants which have to stand the onslaught on weather from the North Sea,


trated. A strange concrete sculptural structure


turned out to be a sound mirror from the First World War. The extensive site was purchased 40 years ago for £1,500 and later £10 was paid for a military site of 300 acres. Costs were easily covered by the sale of scrap metal collected there. At Spurn Point two now disused light­ houses remain, but the coastguard station


is manned. The audience also learned that Henry


VIII introduced pilots to the Humber, the Scots paying three shillings and sixpence to enter and two pounds to return. After an evening of excellent slides and


much information, chairman Muriel Car- ruthers thanked Mr Thompson. The next lecture at Clitheroe library will


he on December 1st at 7-30 p.m. when the speaker will be Dr Ralph Tomlinson and his subject “Woodlands in Britain .
