AN appeal to buy a new pipe organ for St Cuthbert's Church, in Darlington, began in earnest at a striking flower festival at the weekend.
The church needs to raise up to £400,000 to replace its 124-year-old organ, which is in a poor state of repair. The ambitious campaign has already received a £15,000 boost, thanks to the efforts of local parishioners. But the church is keen to promote the appeal to the wider community and saw the annual flower festival as an ideal way. It featured displays on the theme of Creation, by Darlington's Flower Club, Embroiderers' Guild and Arts Society.
Anyone wanting more details about the organ appeal, or to donate to it, can contact church treasurer Brian Johnson on (01325) 350754.
