Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, October 30th, 2008 19 New home for historic organ
A HISTORIC and well- travelled church organ has found a new home at Dalehead. The dedication of the
newly-restored organ was the highlight of the Harvest Service a t St James’ Church, Dalehead. As reported in a previous arti cle, Mr Peter Wrigley acquired the organ after the closure of the Slaidburn Methodist Chapel in 1999. ■ He has spent many hours
giving it a complete renova tion and then kindly offered it to St James’ Church. The wonderful music it can now produce is a credit to Peter, who, incidentally, firs t “played” the very same organ a t the tender age of 10! P e te r has thoroughly
researched the life of the organ and visitors to Dale- head can now read all about it. Briefly, it was built in 1910 in Brattleboro, Ver- mont,_USA, by the Estey Organ Co. Factory. I t was then shipped to

Scotland. In 1955 it arrived in the Ribble Valley, firstly to West Bradford and later to Whalley. Next came a move to
Billington and then on to Slaidbum. So, nearly a hun dred years on has come another, and hopefully final, move to Dalehead. The Rev. Mark Russell-
Smith dedicated the organ to the late John Derek
Hodgson, who was bom and bred in Slaidbura. His -wife, Sandra, attended the serv ice, as did Peter Wrigley, who played the organ dur ing the H arv es t Service. Also there was his ■wife Joan and the Rev. Eric Joselin, who knew the organ when he was M in is ter of the Methodist Church in Whal ley.
The service was well
attended and many descen dants of old Daleheaders came to join in the worship. Afterwards teas were served with a chance to chat and catch up with old friends. ■ Pictured by the organ are

‘Tuc tuc’ man’s mammoth charity effort
“TUC TUC” man Steve Lord has returned from his charity mission - accompa nied by 14 little passengers! E a r lie r this month.
Round Tabler Steve (41), of Sawley, set off to travel the length and breadth of the country in his Indian “tuc tuc” - an automated rick shaw - to raise the profile of air ambulance associations across the UK. Although the three
wheeled tuc tuc is only capa ble of carrying a driver and two passengers, Steve had to make room for 14 cuddly Teddies, presented to him at each air ambulance base he ■visited! Speaking about his stag
gering 1,700-mile journey, which he managed to raise £3,000, he said: “I t was an experience-of-a-lifetime. I t was amazing to go to ■various air ambulance stations, meet the life-savers and learn more about their work. I ■was also given a Teddy bear
a t each station to mark my visit.” Steve, who works for
Johnson Matthey, is a mem ber of Clitheroe Round Table and the organisation’s national community service officer, set off from John O’Groats on October 1st and finished his mission in Land’s End a t 2-15 p.m. on October 12th. . Speaking to the Clitheroe
Advertiser and Times, he revealed that the tuc tuc has a top speed of just 30 m.p.h., but after taking his journey - to 1,500 miles, he managed to drive it up to 40 m.p.h. “The engine was very reli
able and managed to cope in all weathers,” he said. “In fact, when we were in Scot land, we experienced snow, frost, ■wind and rain!” As well as raising the pro
file of the air ambulance associations, Steve hopes his trip will help promote two charities supported by the Round Table n at io n al ly -
the Anthony Nolan Trust and Children’s Wish. During his north/south
adventure, which was spon sored by Eurocopter UK, Fleetsmart, Spie Matthew Hall, One Quote Direct and Johnson Matthey, Steve was also supported by members of Clitheroe Round Table. Steve thanked all his spon
sors, family, friends and well- wishers for all their support, ■ including pupils from schools who regularly read his blog. He also thanked Frank Bar rett and Tim Parish, who
'drove the support ■van on the trip. He added that in Novem
ber 2009, the tuc tuc ■will be donated to air ambulance charities.
' However, between now and^then, members of the Round Table in Great
Britain and Ireland are going to use it to raise the profile of the life-saving charity and boost its funds by raising moremoney. ; • He added: “The be'st bit
about the whole trip was the memorable finish. An Air Sea Rescue helicopter flew around the tuc tuc as did the Cornish Air Ambulance to mark the end of my charity mission.” • You can find out more
ab out Steve’s amazing adventure by visiting the national Round Table web site (■

and clicking the “tu c tuc run” link. Our pictures show Steve at
