Anthony’s runaway success book is being republished


--------------------------------------------- -----------thnh is nraise indeed. by Vivien Meath


THE first edition of a Down- ham man's guide to new tech­ nology has sold so well that, three years later, i t has been updated and republished. ’ The reason for author Anthony


m


Capstick's success with his book, "How to Change Your Life with Technology," is quite simple. I t is easy to follow, has a humorous vein throughout and does not assume that, because we have bought the book, we are already technological gurus. Quite the reverse is the case. I sa t down on a wet Saturday


morning and began reading it. An hour later, I was still deeply engrossed. From one whose working life has been turned on its head by new technology and who has recently discovered th a t computers almost alone have the capacity to turn a nor­ mally even tempered female into a


cold and mild weather


raving wreck, that is praise indeed. Mr Capstick and his wife, Katie,


read an item in the Financ al Tire


who have four children, live in Down- ham and run Instant Search in Wha ­ ley. Utilising technology to the full, husband and wife are both able to work from their rural idyll too - with­ out any detriment to the closely mon­


itored village landscape. The book, he points out, is not a


complete re-write, but certainly incor­ porates all the advances in the last few years; increased use of the Internet, mobile phones and text messaging, to


name a few. Now also in demand as a broadcast­ , ,


er, Mr Capstick has a small radio stu­ dio incorporated into his Whalley premises and, as a pointer to the amazing technological advances in that field, recalls how he carried out a broadcast for the World Service from his office opposite Whalley s Spar, his "global" message instantaneously car­


ried around the world. His business has a six figure annual


in t o a. . i - u i n v - w - — turnover and was created after he .


read an item in the Financial Times he was working for the publication at the time - on how Companies House was planning to make access to its database possible via a dial-up com­ puter and telephone link.


• With the backing of his wife, he


took a large gamble, moved from Lon­ don to his native Lancashire, and bought a desktop computer, printer and fitted a fax modem card. Instant Search was the result, created on an initial start-up of just oyer £1,000. Chapters include advice and tips on


voice communications, help selecting a fax machine, alternative telephone lines, buying a computer, the Internet and e-mail, office equipment, market­ ing your business, running it and the pros and cons of making the decision that could change your life complete-

Refurbishment costing £90,000 sheds new light on historic village church


Vicar thanks all supporters and appeals for dusting and removal volunteers


MAJOR refurbishment work costing £90,000 has restored the interior of Whalley Parish Church.

I Most of the money has been raised by church offi­ cials and congregation members. "We also had a lot of help from other peo­ ple in the village and from supporters over a wide area; we are very grateful to them all," says the vicar, the Rev. Chris Sterry. The building was handed


back to the church by the contractors on Thursday, a day ahead of schedule. Today, tomorrow and on Saturday, anyone who


I would like to help clean up is invited to bring their own dusters between 10 a.m. and 12-30 p. m. and 2 p. m.


to 4-30 p. m. On Saturday, there is also


a need for strong helpers when furnishings and all the other interior items removed from the church will be brought back. A sandwich lunch will be pro­ vided at the nearby Dog

ing the rest of next week free for pre-Easter services a t Whalley Abbey. The church will be first used at the early Holy Communion service on Easter Sunday. Mr Sterry says: "We had


an enormous amount of help when we moved out of the church in January. It proved to be a great deal of fun, with so many people working together at a com­ mon task, and many mak­ ing new friends. There's even more work to be done this time to get the church looking perfect for the re­


opening." Mr Sterry hopes that the


speed with which the money was raised and the project planned and com­ pleted shows th a t the church is not just ticking over, but is alive, active and reaching out to do its work.
