WORK by Ribble Valley potter Jenny Eaton was among items at Saturday's Platform Gallery craft ■ market, run by the Craft Guild


| which is based in West Lancashire. Mrs Eaton, who exhibits her work in


, galleries nationwide, specialises in Raku- fired crackle glaze and porcelain from her


studio in the quietness of Cow Ark. She is interested in the form and texture


of her work and, in particular, the "recent­ ly unearthed” quality created by the Raku


process. Her pottery is mainly decorative, including bottle-necked pots and small lid­ ded boxes.

After first taking up pottery 25 years


ago, Mrs Eaton has recently joined the guild as it provides support, opportunities to sell goods and a forum for the exchange of ideas between fellow professionals. The guild has recently revamped its image, aiming to recruit serious, full-time artists, and seeking to attract craftspeople from relatively modem disciplines such as papi­ er mache and sand blasting on glass. A variety of other artists exhibited at


the event including Jean Curbishley, who paints on silk; Ian Gillard, a goldsmith and silversmith and Peter Hobson, a watercolour artist.

entries have risen. This year, 365 paintings will be on

satellite unit in Rochdale, Scott House.. Jean McLoughlin is the mastermind behind the net-


bailers' success. The clinical team leader is a player and with the support of colleagues who are also keen play­ ers, decided to form a team when residents also showed an interest in the game.


Last year's win was the inspiration for the Trusts : ■ .


pioneering Women's Charter which established aims and rights for women living in Calderstones’ Chestnut


Drive Unit. "The team hadn't had a great deal of practice so


their success at Huyton was impressive. We were only beaten by a couple of goals in the final and won on goal average," said Jean. "The team were so professional in their approach and they are thrilled to bits to have another trophy to put on display." ■ The group is now thinking of trying other team


■ sports.

Authors Tony and Emma attract their own headlines with two very different styles of writing


R


ibble Valley in fo rm a t ion t e c h n o lo g y expert Anthony Cap-


stick, pictured right,is tasting out the latest Internet advance. He is hoping th a t his


book "How to Change Your Life with Technolo­ gy" will soon go on the world wide web and that subscribers will be able to access relevant parts of it by making micro-pay­


ments. Meanwhile a former


neighbour from the village of Downham, Mrs Emma Kingdon, has caused a stir with a book drawing on her quite different working experiences - the hard nosed world of national journalism. "Hard Copy" asks: "How


far will you go to get a story" and has been favourably reviewed in sev­ eral national papers. And Mrs Kingdon, like Mr Capstick, has been invited to appear on radio and con­ tribute specialist items to newspapers. Both previ­ ously worked in national journalism in London. Mrs Kingdon, duaghter of Daily Mail columnist


Lynda Lee-Potter, now lives in Yorkshire. Putting his book on the


web is a natural thing to do for Mr Capstick, who origi­ nally comes from Sabden, though he does not yet know how financially worthwhile it will be. "Each payment may be.


relatively small, but they will all accrue to my site, via the service providers,"


he explains. "It's another step for- .


ward for the system, but like all of them - as the book is intended to warn - it will be worthwhile for some people and not oth­


ers." This newspaper was one


of the first to review the book - which explains tech­ nical and commercial points of the latest infor­ mation technology gadgets simply. Anyone planning to go on the Internet, for instance, will find the author's own experiences and his analysis of the var­ ious options most interest- ' ing and financially worth­


while. The Mirror's influential


"Business to Business" sec­ tion published a favourable review of the book - which is now in its second print-

■ Although there may have been many books written to try to explain the how and why of Christ's atonement for our sin,


trying, effort, self sacrifice or strict discipline can avail for us in this : case. You feel that you ought to atone for your sin? You cannot?. Only Jesus our Saviour can do that, and it has already been done for us on Calvary's cross.:Jesus -: died to pay the price of sin as only He could, and has put us in His debt for ever.

• However, most of us discover that what has been done cannot be undone or, if we are not careful, more harm will ensue. We have to leave a great deal with Godl; I t may well be that it is we who


are called to forgive the one who has wronged us. Remember what you say in the Lord’s Prayer, ask­ ing for forgiveness, as you forgive those who have trespassed against you. Forgiveness is often a two
