tasting evening with acoustic music has blossomed into something much bigger and we now have over 18 beers available, three bands and a whole host of singers and musi cians. Now all we need are the people of the Ribble Valley to come together for a pint or two to ensure there is not a drop left at the end of the night.” Mr Lakin added that Rowland Brewery,

Campaign to restore organ
A SIX-FIGURE sum is needed to restore a century-old Clitheroe church organ. Work needs to be carried out to make the
historic instrument a t Clitheroe Parish Church more user-friendly. Now an appeal has been launched to try

to raise the money needed to foot the bill. Canon Philip Dearden said: “Sadly time
has taken its toll on this glorious instru ment so that we are now faced with the sub stantial cost of a rebuild. Even after paring down the original cost estimates to the min imum, the bill will run into six figures, which reflects the unique quality and style of our organ.” He added th a t any contributions will
ensure the fund-raising committee reaches its goal in giving the organ its “heritage demands”. The organ was built in 1913 by James
Jepson Binns, of Leeds, who was famous for the quality of materials he used, as well as his skill. As well as being used for Sunday Sung Eucharist and monthly Choral Even song, it is also used by the Organ Society, now in i ts 45 th year, for concerts and recitals. In a leaflet supporting the parish church’s
fund-raising bid, Mark Williams, Assistant Organist and Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral, writes: “The organ of Clitheroe Parish Church is to be treasured and invest ment in rebuilding it at this stage will repay several times over through the pleasure it will give to many in the future.” Cash and cheques can be made to the
Clitheroe Parish Church Organ Fund, via the parish office in Church Street.
