tion of ancient and modem tech­ nologies to bring out the beauty of wood in a ivide variety of objects including carved animals, furni­ ture, bowls and household acces­ sories. All the wood used is sourced locally, from gardens or managed woodland; known as "casualty timber", it has been felled or praned for a good reason, i.e. not groivn as a commercial crop. Chris Fox also works in wood

1980s marketing Lakeland Land­ scape photography. All prints are cibachrome prints and not manip­ ulated in ahy way by computers. The results are truly stunning scenes which display exceptional use of colour and landscape.


Frances introduced her range of Contemporary Pressed Flower prints in 1995. All the flowers are grown, picked and pressed by Frances from her garden and framed in her workshop. Frances is also exhibiting a beautiful range of bespoke hand-made wooden boxes and vases from locally-sourced English hardwoods and no two items are ever exactly the sama "True to Nature" is Elaine

■with 'Verse" will be published by Clitheroe Books Press in memory of Leigh Morrissey, who died of Motor Neurone Disease in March 2005. The 40-page anthology, which has been sup­


ported by Ribble Valley Borough Council and Printoff Graphic Arts Ltd, Nelson, features stun­ ning poetry with the theme "facing adversity" from writers throughout the country, including East Lancashire. Editors Theresa Robson and Jo Harding aim

Tandoori Restaurant in 'Whalley Road, Clitheroe, at a gala dinner donated by Bengal Tandoori proprietor Raj Khan, whose charity curry nights are becoming legendary in Ribble Valley and beyond. Leigh Morrissey edited the Clitheroe Adver­

read at his funeral. She launched a nationwide search for suitable poems with Clitheroe Books proprietor Jo Harding. She said: "We were overwhelmed by the num­


ber and quality of entries to the anthology, from established ivriters as well as people new to poet­


ry. "The 21 poems in the anthology deal with a


range of difficult subjects with fortitude, opti­ mism and, in some cases, hilarity." The anthology is named after a line from


Pauline Plummer's winning poem, "No Papers: For Fiston Lusambo", lyhich tells of a child refugee from the Congolese diamond wars who finds solace in pla}dng his guitar. Pauline, who lives in the North East and


teaches creative writing at Northumbria Univer­ sity, is the author of two poetry collections, “Demon Straightening” and “Bamako to Tim­ buktu”. Other writers in the anthology include Der­


byshire Poet Laureate Cathy (Irindrod, chil­ dren's author Jane Eagland, who lives in Clitheroe, and Gregory Woods, who is the author of four collections from leading UK publisher Carcanet Press, the most recent of which was “Quidnunc”. Local writers include Burnley woman Glenis


Stott, who started writing after her daughter died in 1999 from a brain haemorrhage, former


Burnley headteacher Phil Burton, Sabden busi­ nessman Mike O'Neill, retired Langho teacher Judy Sowter and young Ribchester dad David Borrott. The anthology also features work by Leigh


Morrissey, including his hilarious "Bath Time for a Giant's Baby", and the late celebrated Lan­ cashire dialect poet Benita Moore, whose poem

O FOLLOWING many rehearsals and lots of hard work by the pupils of St Michael and St John's RC Primary School, Clitheroe, the children of Years 5 and 6 performed an Easter musical. More than 130 family, friends and parishioners flocked to the Catholic Social Centre on Wednesday evening to watch the children’s performance, which told the Easter story of Jesus' life throughout Holy Week. Easter was so early this year that the children and staff had little time to prepare, but they succeeded brilliantly.
