Fanfare for launch of refurbished organ


by Natalie Cox


A RECITAL to mark the re-opening of Clitheroe Parish Church organ was a tremendous success. • An audience of more than 350, including


the Mayor and Mayoress of the Kibble Val­ ley, Coun. John and Mrs Phillipa Hill, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. David and Mrs Maria Berryman, heard David Briggs play, a varied pro­


gramme. Mr Briggs is organist emeritus a t


Gloucester Cathedral and an international­ ly renowned musician. During his concert in Clitheroe he established a great rapport with the audience, regaling them with an array of amusing and interesting anecdotes. His recital was preceded with addresses


by Roger Fisher, the organ advisor for the rebuild, and Geoffrey Coffin, who rebuilt the organ. As well as being an asset to Clitheroe and


a cultural resource for the area, the newly refurbished organ has been described as one of the finest in the diocese and possibly one of the best parish church organs in the country.

Here the party split up with the 12 more adventur­ ous members entering the gorge and making the short rock climb beside the waterfall a t its head while the remainder of the party followed field paths to reach the Malham road. ■ This, the main group, then


crossed the road and followed a path towards Malham Cove but, before reaching it, branched off right and crossed the'moorland to arrive a t the'lunch stop near Mal­ ham Tarn at exactly the same time as the Gordale Scar group arriyed. At this point the leader was per­ suaded to give a short geography lesson about underground water courses in limestone country. Resuming the walk, the party


followed the Pennine Way and after half a mile reached Water Sinks, an ap tly named feature where the stream from Malham Tarn disap­ pears underground, hence the geog­


raphy lesson!;; yV- The walkers'then followed the


increasingly rocky dry valley doOT which the stream brice flowed even­ tually reaching the impressive Mai-, ham Cove which, at the end Ice Age would have been a waterql)


to rival Niagara. . . The limestone pavement above


the cove was then negotiated and; the party descended to valley level,


via the steep steps, where they found RSPB binoculars trained on the peregrine nests high up on the,


rock face. From here i t


was a simple walk


back across fields Md then the road into Malham villafge to conclude n


varied and enjoyable walk,;
