nation is continually expanding, and with the current issue of “size zero” being broadcast around the media, for teenagers, developing some sort of eating disorder (ED) is quite unavoidable. We live in an image-dominated world


and society, and as soon as a teenager walks into a shop, they are bombarded with magazines and newspapers full of pictures of famous actresses and super­ models who openly admit to having an eating disorder of some sort a t some point, e.g. Nicole'Ritchie and the Olsen twins. So, what’s to stop a child, who is much


more influenced by these celebrities than we may be, thinking: “If they can do it, why can’t I?” The issue of teenage eating disorders


has recently become much more public, so does this make it even more likely for the teenagers reading about these issues, to pursue an eating disorder of their own? The television soap “Hollyoaks” - most popular among teens - has an ongoing

more scruffy. This has particularly affect­ ed people in schools and colleges, partly because students normally base their friendships on first appearances and whether you “fit in” or not, depends on who your friends are, what your social life contains and most importantly, how you feel. The popular TV advert about Dove


soap, campaigns for “natural beauty” and healthy images to be promoted instead of skinny,, unhealthy, unnatural looking models. If potential ED teenagers watch these


story-line involving cases of anorexia/bulimia. Despite the helpline number at the end of the show, the idea is conveyed and reinforced as a way of los­ ing weight. Should easily- influenced teenagers be


watching such material? Teenagers today are much more image


conscious, partly because people’s images have had a direct affect on where people are placed in today’s society. For example, a person dressed smartly


and having a clean appearance is much more likely to be given a job than some­ one dressed inappropriately and looking

E


a t a very posh hotel on the south coast. When we arrived at the hotel we were met by two doormen in the full concierge uniform with braiding on the cuffs and white gloves. One of them offered to park my car (we were very glad th a t we hadn’t driven down in the bat­ tered Golf with the bent bon­ net and the window that does­ n’t shut!). The other doorman took our cases out of the boot and loaded them on to a gold trolley hanging up our coats on the rail.


ARLIER this year my wife and I had the chance to go away by


adverts and they want to lose weight, they normally tend to do it alone instead of seeking healthy advice about losing weight. So, as well as promoting healthier fig­


ures, shouldn’t we he promoting healthy ways of losing weight? Size zero, is a GW (goal weight; anorex­


ia jargon) for many anorexia and bulimia sufferers and recently has caused disputes in society, about BMI (body mass index) and model weights etc., hut wouldn’t all this attention make the size zero craze stop? I recently discovered the answer to this is no, as a new, size double zero (00) has been introduced in the USA. This is the equivalent to a UK size 2, which is scarce in the vast majority of shops. Is this promoting a healthy image to


teenagers? My wife was carrying a plas­


tic bag and the doorman offered to take that too and put it on the trolley. The problem was that it was full of rubbish from the packed lunch we had eaten on the journey down. With an embarrassed laugh she declined the offer and held on to the bag of rubbish until she could dispose of it quietly in our hotel bedroom bin. Why was she'embarrassed?


We all know what rubbish is, we all make it. Why did she not just ask the doorman to put the bag in the bin for her? Was it something to do with the splen­ dour of the hqtel? Perhaps the hotel was so pristine we felt our rubbish would somehow spoil


it? Or did we feel uncomfort­ able ourselves in such sur­ roundings, that somehow we would be judged because we had a bag of rubbish? Of course being a preacher I


started to reflect on this experi­ ence and wondered whether it is a little illustration of our relationship with God. Maybe sometimes we are


afraid we will be unacceptable to God because of the rubbish of the past. Maybe the mis­ takes (and sometimes the repeated mistakes) of today may make us feel that we can­ not approach God. Yet, the Bible says: I t was


while we were God’s enemies Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

experience in that hotel at all. We come to God with all our rubbish; the rubbish of the past, the mistakes of today and we need never be afraid of being rejected for he has taken all of that rubbish and dealt with it once and for all by dying on the cross. We enjoyed our time away,

“There’s a high proportion of home


grown talent amongst our staff, and an apprenticeship here is highly sought after by young people in the area. “We invest heavily in the programme


and we work closely with Training 2000 to make it so successful.” To mark the start of their apprentice­


ship, the group and their parents were given a special guided tour of Fort Vale’s premises. “The welcome evening is a Fort Vale

ers about a dozen or so clubs from East Lan­ cashire down to Manchester and east as far as the Yorkshire border. Images are judged out of 20 with the top


three all awarded 20 points and awarded cer­ tificates of merit. There can be up to about 400 entries in each of the three sections as each club member can enter up to four prints. The four top marked images, one each from


four different members, give the club’s total. Ribblesdale’s winning quartet were “Silver Birch in the Snow” by Dennis Kendal, “Wall Art” by Raymond Greenwood, both with full marks and Certificates of Merit; supported by Graham Dudley’s “Royal Scot” on 19 and Stewart Clark’s “Win" on 18. This totalled 77 out of a possible maximum


of 79, well above the Bury club who were sec­ ond with 71. The lowest total was only 56. The colour prints were not quite so success­


ful, Ribblesdale ending mid-table despite Ken Geddes’ “Sunset Sunloungers” also receiving a maximum of 20 points and a Certificate of Merit. Out of the eight Ribblesdale members who entered this competition, the other scor­ ing prints were by Trevor Marklew, and Gra­ ham Dudley with 16 and Mike Bartle with 14. Three Certificates of Merit in one ICPA com­ petition is unprecedented. For more information contact chairman
