Valley rallies for Children in Need
DICK Turpin and Black Bess could have fared no better on a chilly night in Clitheroe than Steve Lord and his trusty tuctuc.
Without so much as a "your money or your life!", or even the benefit of a loaded musket, Steve and his mysterious masked companion managed to extract an astonishing 450 for Children in Need from generous Clitheroe folk.
Straddling the mighty tuctuc – an automated Indian rickshaw which Steve recently piloted from John o'Groats to Land's End for Air Ambulance charities – the Clitheroe Round Table duo toured Clitheroe's pubs and clubs, collecting as they went.
Weighed down by bulging buckets of booty and in bold defiance of a light headwind, they then set out bravely for Blackburn to hand over the charity cash. By the time you read this, they should be nearing the outskirts...
Nationally, Round Table raised more than 66,000 for Children in Need, another record-breaking year.
Other fund-raising efforts for Children in Need took place across the Ribble Valley. For a full round-up of news and pictures, see this week's Clitheroe Advertiser and Times.
