The home of quality FROM STUNNING HAND-CRAFTED KITCHENS TO BESPOKE FURNITURE, DAVID J MARTIN’S ATTENTION TO DETAIL PRODUCES BEAUTIFUL RESULTS. n these days of mass produced furniture it seems almost impossible to find beautiful bespoke, handmade pieces, whether that be for your kitchen, bedroom, study or lounge. At David J Martin customers are welcomed into the firm’s on-site workshop, to see their furniture come to life.

“People often don’t believe that the workshop is here, under the showroom” said owner David Martin. “Then we bring them downstairs and they’re blown away.”

There’s a team of eight, highly trained carpenters working on kitchen cabinets and islands, bedroom furniture, desks and study furniture, each one made unique to order.

David himself is a carpenter by trade, training for years before completing a degree in the subject. He ensures his staff are trained to the highest standard, resulting in the finest quality products. Everything at David J Martin happens under one roof, so David himself can check the quality and finish of each product at every stage of the process.

“Our attention to detail is second to none and this makes us stand out from the crowd,” said David. “We are not held to ransom by mass-produced products as we make everything from scratch – even down to making our own cutters for producing mouldings.”

This means you can add to your kitchen in years to come and the company will still be able to match the designs.

In the David J Martin showroom, a stunning range of kitchens is on display, but the company also produces bespoke furniture for every room in the house. For the bedroom, the company builds beautiful wardrobes, and other unique storage solutions

I

for difficult spaces. For the study, David’s team of carpenters can build desks and media spaces.

After an initial customer consultation, when David will discuss budgets and offer expert design advice, the cabinetmakers work from plans drawn by David and create bespoke furniture, which can be sprayed to high gloss or satin finishes using durable Two Pac paint.

With larger companies, you will often see doors advertised as having a ‘high-gloss finish’. This means that they are vinylwrapped and, although this does produce a shiny look, it means that you will be able to see the joins.

David J Martin’s professional sprayer can apply any colour you wish in their paintspraying booth, giving a modern finish with no joins. That means water cannot seep in and cause peeling – something that can happen

David J Martin 210 Springvale Road, Sheffield, S6 3NU Tel: 0114 268 6718 www.david-j-martin.co.uk @SixerRMC

with vinyl-wrapped doors. Everything is done in-house, which enables David to guarantee high quality at every stage.

For those customers undertaking full refurbishment of their home, David J Martin can provide a one-stop shop for structural, plumbing and electricity work, as well as building furniture.

David said: “We run a building company alongside our bespoke joinery company, so customers are not waiting for plumbers, electricians and so on. We can take care of everything and ensure that the project is completed to the highest standard.”

For David it’s all about creating a high quality customer experience, whether the job be big or small. One call to David J Martin could result in a stunning new extension, complete with kitchen, plumbing and electricity – David only employs the best tradesmen.

In the company’s 37 years of trading, David J Martin has built a superb reputation for customer satisfaction. The company is highly regarded for their customer and after-sales service, ensuring that every customer is a happy one and fixing any problems with their furniture, whether that be two weeks or ten years down the line.

SUMMER’S HERE – TIME TO THINK ABOUT GETTING A BOILER FROM FLAMES OF SHEFFIELD. lames of Sheffield have helped more than 3,800 customers with their fire, fireplace, stove and central heating needs since they first opened their doors in 2005.

“Although both the winter and spring seasons were a very busy time for us in terms of fires, fireplaces, stoves and central heating, as we start to come into summer, it is a great time to look at having any home improvements completed, especially as we have many great offers available in our Sizzling Summer Sale,” commented Director Lee Day. There are great household savings to be made by installing an ‘A’ rated energy efficient central heating boiler, with the average saving being of between £300-£400 per year. A solid fuel stove is also a great way to cut down on gas usage in many homes and, as long as the stove is DEFRA Approved and the

F

correct fuel like seasoned/kiln dried timber or smokeless coal is used, then this again can be a great alternative to heat large areas of a home.

Flames of Sheffield are offer a different proposition to the majority of central heating installers as they operate from their Hillsborough Barracks bricks and mortar showroom, are open 7 days a week, are not just a mobile number in a book or on the side of a van, plus they have their consumer credit licence and therefore offer a competitive finance facility. Flames are also an Accredited Installer for the entire Worcester-Bosch range of boilers and therefore offer a minimum 7 Year Parts & Labour Guarantee on all boilers and can even give their customers a 10 Year Guarantee on a selected range of boilers, subject to terms and conditions. They install Combi, Conventional and System Boilers which they also back with a 1 Year Guarantee

on the quality of how it is installed to give their customers extra piece of mind.

Having firmly established themselves over the past 12 years as a local destination retailer for anyone looking for a special fire, fireplace, solid fuel stove or central heating boiler/system, they consistently offer customers a range of high quality products, value for money competitive pricing and a huge choice of bespoke ranges, whilst always maintaining their very highly rated standard of customer service.

Flames of Sheffield are located on the Upper Mall at Hillsborough Barracks (Morrisons) and FREE parking is available via the Langsett Road or Penistone Road entrances.

Specialist bra service arrives at Sandersons Specialist bra fitter, Jen Jackson, will be in store over the summer to help customers get the perfect underwear and swimwear fit. Jen is an expert in the field and has been trained to fit bras by eye.

Jen said: “Offering a very personal service, I always make sure that customers leave knowing their correct size as this is so important to everyday life.

“Being a J cup myself I know how hard it is to find bras that not only fit comfortably, but are also available in pretty colours. It’s really important over the summer months with light clothing to get the right fit.”

Jen’s Bella Eve concession in Sandersons will stock handmade items made in Yorkshire including the fabulous Lucy May Lingerie which is made in Sheffield.

The new underwear range also has labels including Curvy Kate, Chantelle, Passionata, Dominique, Elila and Enell sports bras, along with must-have swimwear in a range of colours and patterns.

Just on the edge of Sheffield in the picturesque village of Worrall, the festival and gala provides weekend entertainment for all ages.

Headlining Friday night is energetic folk band, Isembard’s Wheel and the talented Mark and Catherine Pugh (members of local folk band, Jack’s Rake), Richard Brown and Alice Bryan.

Saturday’s activities begin at 1pm with a gala featuring children’s activities, stalls, craft activities, music workshops, Our Cow Molly ice-cream and much more.

The evening festival follows on at 4pm with performances from Cocklebread (a volunteer collective of musicians), Humble Williams, Kid Conventional, indie/hip-hop four-piece Spit n Strings, Celtic folk-rock band Treebeard and Saturday headline act, The 20ft Squid Blues Band, who are sure to get everyone dancing.

Budding musicians also have the opportunity to showcase their talent during the open-mic session from 6pm.

All abilities welcome.

A real ale bar will be open throughout the weekend featuring a selection of locally-brewed ales and ciders.

Help support the festival, by coming to the fundraiser music night on 16 June at The Gardeners Rest on Neepsend Lane.

Wharncliffe Side Primary are runners up in a national competition to find the best peer mediation schemes in the country.

For more than ten years, the school has trained young volunteers who then help other pupils to sort out arguments and friendship matters. Their efforts were recently recognised when they were presented with a certificate at the school.

The scheme began in 2005, when Wharncliffe Side worked with CRESST, a Sheffield charity that teaches children and young people conflict resolution skills. Every year since, the school has run workshops for their children and invited a team of volunteers to train as peer mediators. These young peacemakers then organise a rota to help younger children to find ways out of their disputes.

Ellis Brooks from Quakers in Britain, who introduced the award, said: “We were really impressed by the school’s commitment. Reading the nomination, we knew it was a true whole school approach to conflict resolution because teachers, parents, and crucially, children all talked about the difference it makes. What is particularly impressive about Wharncliffe Side is that they’ve stayed focused for more than a decade. That means hundreds of people in Sheffield growing up with mediation skills and experience.”

The Lighting the Fire national peer mediation award was launched this year by LEAP Confronting Conflict, a prestigious London youth organisation that celebrates community projects to support young people dealing with conflicts.

Local author launches Parkwood Springs book A new book about Parkwood Springs has been launched this month.

The Lost Village of Parkwood Springs

by Barbara Warsop, takes a look at the history of an area that was lost during the slum clearances. With stories from the residents that lived there between the 1920s and 1970s, the book is an oral history of a friendly community.

Barbara said: “I was born on Parkwood Springs in 1938, all my family lived there.

It was a lovely place to live with a wonderful community spirit. It has many war time stories, childhood memories and the games we played.”

The book is available to buy from www.sheffieldbooks.co.uk.

Slimmers donate clothes to Cancer Research UK Kind-hearted slimmers in Sheffield are clearing out their wardrobes and donating clothes they’ve successfully slimmed out of to help Cancer Research UK raise £3million.

The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw is a two-week long event that runs in Slimming World groups across the UK from 5-18 June. Members confident enough to know they’ll never need their before clothes again are being invited to donate clothes, shoes, bags and accessories to local Cancer Research UK shops by taking them along to their weekly group.

Last year, The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw raised £2.1million, and this year, the total is set to be even bigger. New for 2017, group members who find one of the 4,000 specially-branded golden bags to donate their clothes in will be entered into a prize draw, giving them a chance to meet a mysterious celebrity who is a big supporter of Cancer Research UK, or win shopping vouchers to replace the clothes they’ve kindly donated.

Local weight loss consultant and team developer, Emma Allott said: “Lots of people don’t know that keeping a healthy weight helps reduce the risk of developing some types of cancer. The Clothes Throw is a really good opportunity to remind people of the importance of maintaining a healthy weight, as well as a chance for the members who have done so well to celebrate their amazing weight losses by saying goodbye to their ‘before’ clothes!”

The Slimming World team will be taking donations at the Hillsborough Arena on Middlewood Road on Saturday 10 June between 12pm and 2pm. Bags can also be donated to the Crookes groups until Saturday 17 June.

Anyone who would like to take part in The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw or find out more about Slimming World, can get in touch with any local consultant. See the advert in this magazine for more details.

Grenochase runners support St Luke’s Hospice The Grenochase is back and this year, competitors will be supporting St Luke’s Hospice. The three-mile race around the village of Grenoside is a popular tradition which dates back to the 1870s and is now one of the most popular fixtures in the community’s calendar. The event is organised by the Hughes family of Grenoside and this year, they will be raising money for Sheffield’s only hospice in memory of friend and St Luke’s patient, Kate Dunn.

The 14 July race will feature a children’s race at 5pm and a main adult event at 7pm. Entry is £5 for children and £10 for adults. The closing date is 18 June.

To sign up to the event, visit www.greno-chase.co.uk/entry_form.

Welcome to my office – Views from the roofs of Sheffield S6 Simon Slater of Slater’s Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. But can you guess exactly where in Sheffield he was when he took these photographs?

To find out, follow @SlatersAerials and @SixerRMC on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month.

Congratulations to those of you who guessed where Simon was in last month’s pictures – The Yorkshire Bridge at Bamford. @SixerRMC

Putting on the glitz GLAM UP AND HEAD DOWN TO LADIES’ DAY AT OWLERTON GREYHOUND STADIUM. ummer is here and it’s time for the region’s fabulous fashion-conscious ladies to dress to impress, as Owlerton Greyhound Stadium rolls out the red carpet for another of its famous Ladies’ Days.

With a glamorous theme, the night promises to be filled with everything glitzy including top quality make-up products and lashes, memorable entertainment and lots of fizz.

This year's event on July 4 is organised in association with Napoleons Casino and Restaurant Owlerton with all profits going to the Special Olympics GB National Games, to be held in Sheffield between 7-12 August.

The event begins with a drinks reception on arrival and the first 150 people will receive a free gift bag.

There'll also be some of Sheffield's resident beauty experts on hand including The Brow Lounge and Blynk lashes. Ladies will not only be able to buy a selection of their products but the experts will be doing live demonstrations and will even touch up makeup if needed.

It isn't all the about the make-up though, as throughout the evening musician Sophia Sax will be providing live entertainment between the races.

There's a choice of Ladies' Day packages to suit all tastes. Guests can wine and dine in style with a four course meal and glass of fizz in the luxurious Panorama Restaurant for £25 per person. They won’t miss a second of the racing as the glass-fronted restaurant offers full-table service and overlooks the racetrack.

Larger parties in groups of 12 or 24, can choose to have a hot and cold buffet in their own Executive Box. Again it's £25 per person

S

and each box comes with its own private balcony overlooking the track. It is also equipped with a private mini bar and tote betting facility.

If guests want to experience something really special they can opt for the Master Class experience with professional make-up Master Class artist Katie Daley. For £75 per ticket, ladies will get entry into Katie's private Executive Box along with a Kardashian/Jenner inspired make-up class followed by a questionand-answer session. Guests will also get a three-course meal before the Katie Daleysponsored race at 9.30pm.

Meanwhile, if you want to simply experience the glamour of Ladies Day trackside, then you can't go wrong with the Six Pack Party Package. For just £10 you'll get admission and a racecard, chicken-in-abasket meal, drink, and two bets.

The fun doesn't stop when the racing does, as there's a drinks reception along with live saxophone entertainment at Napoleons Casino Owlerton.

Then, if you're ready to get your dancing shoes on guests can make use of the free transport, courtesy of City Taxis, at 12.30am to Tribeca at Viper Rooms where ladies will be given free entry.

So ladies, it's time to get yourselves glammed up for an evening of fantastic food and drink, live entertainment and detailed make-up demonstrations.

Head down and experience an unforgettable Ladies' Day at Owlerton, all whilst helping raise money for the Special Olympics GB National Games being held in Sheffield. For more information on the packages available, just give them a call or visit www.owlertonstadium.co.uk. @SixerRMC

TIRED EYES? CLINICA AESTHETICS NOW HAVE A CLEAR SOLUTION. t Clinica Aesthetics, many of our patients have resigned themselves to heavy, hooded eyelids that make them look tired and older than they feel because of the high cost and significant risks associated with traditional eye surgery, also known as blepharoplasty.

Their wait is now over – Clinica Aesthetics is delighted to introduce a cutting edge, nonsurgical solution using the revolutionary Schuco Plasma device. The results are comparable to surgery and last just as long, but with the following benefits:

A

+ #%" ") " #$ $ + # " #% $# " $ & ") "#$ $" $ $ + # "" " % ' $ So how does it work? The device generates

plasma through a targeted micro-beam, causing a process called sublimation with no effect on surrounding tissue. During the procedure, the plasma causes some heating of the skin, which may cause a burning or tingling sensation but patients should feel minimal pain given use of a local anaesthetic cream.

One of the major benefits of plasma is the reduced downtime, which in the case of surgical blepharoplasty can last for a number of weeks.

In contrast, the after-effects of a plasma treatment are limited to some immediate swelling of the treated area, and the formation of tiny dark spots which flake off after just a few days. Three treatments at six weekly intervals are usually required to obtain surgical-standard results.

• Wrinkle relaxing treatments • Dermal Fillers to address facial volume loss and signs of ageing • Lip enhancement • Medical Grade Skin Peels • Deep Skin Rehydration treatment • Cryotherapy – safe, effective removal of benign skin imperfections inc. skin tags, age spots, warts, verrucae etc.

• Hyperhidrosis Treatment (excessive underarm perspiration) • Medical Dermal Needling • Prescription Medical Skincare to address conditions such as acne, rosacea & pigmentation

Here’s what one happy customer had to say: “I had suffered with heavy eyelids for many years but was always reluctant to undergo surgery for something which I considered to be cosmetic. When I heard about the plasma treatment offered by Sue, I couldn’t wait to try it out. The procedure was totally painless and I was able to go to work the following day – I couldn’t believe how quickly the swelling subsided. I’m thrilled with the results, even after one treatment – and I can’t wait to see the outcome after three.”

As well as wrinkles and sagging eyelids, the device can also be used for intensive skin rebuilding, warts, stretch marks, fibroids and acne reduction – contact Sue to discuss your specific concerns on 07771 604604.

LET G&M HEALTHCARE WITH ALEVERE HELP YOU ON YOUR WAY TO A WHOLE NEW YOU.

The first step on your journey ometimes the hardest part of the journey is keeping motivated.”

Lisa Chappell had been on a ‘diet’ for as long as she could remember, but had never successfully achieved significant weight loss - until now.

“I always slipped back to my old ways, but one day I woke up and said to myself, ‘Lisa, it is now or never, this is enough’.”

After hearing about G&M Healthcare with Alevere on the radio, Lisa decided that was it.

She was going to reach a healthy weight and prove to herself that it could be done.

“I needed results and I needed them fast.

Unless I lose the weight quickly, I lose motivation instead.

“Before starting Alevere I’d been on various diets, but my attitude was a bit halfhearted. I knew I needed something different, so I joined G&M Healthcare.

“I had my first meeting with Dr Grace and then saw my therapist Sarah weekly for my ultrasound and skin tightening treatments with the LPG machine.”

Since beginning the programme, Lisa has lost a total of 23lbs and is slowly but surely starting to feel like her old self again.

“I weighed 12st at the beginning of my Alevere adventure and by the time I’d finished I reached 10st 5Ibs. “The fast rate of weight loss kept me motivated and the counselling gave me the support I needed to stay on track and help me understand more about my relationship with food.

“Now, I feel amazing. I’m much more

energetic and a lot less lethargic, but I do have to ensure I keep a close eye on my weight, as I don’t want to put it back on again. I have increased my exercise and I’ve even had to buy a whole new wardrobe, as my clothes literally fell off me.”

Lisa has discovered a whole new way of life, though she knows there is no magic wand to losing weight.

“I had to reduce my social life for a bit, to avoid temptation – mainly with alcohol – and went two months without ‘treating’ myself to a drink, which was a great achievement. As each week passed, the days went by quicker. I

‘If you’re committed and follow the programme you will see results and I hope I can show people that anything is achievable with the right support. Once you find the 'why' inside of you, keep that with you every step of the way and it will help you reach your goals.’ @SixerRMC

continued to lose weight and every time I would notice differences, whether it was the motivation to go back to the gym or my clothing feeling loose.

“Alevere is not just about eating. It’s about how you think about your food and actually, that initial weight loss – that positive feeling that you get – can be the motivator to continue your change in behaviour.”

Like everyone, Lisa has hit the occasional rut, but she says she tries to combat it by returning to the Alevere routine.

“I am determined to maintain this healthier lifestyle and weight. There are times when I don’t – we all have slip-ups from time to time – and I put on a few pounds, but I always ensure I reign it in again and return to the weight I was.”

Her advice to anyone looking to kick-start their weight loss journey with Alevere: “You really need to want it – it’s not easy, or cheap – and you must be prepared to change your eating habits if you wish to keep the weight off.

“If you’re committed and follow the programme you will see results and I hope I can show people that anything is achievable with the right support. Once you find the 'why' inside of you, keep that with you every step of the way and it will help you reach your goals.”

Bradfield’s farewell to the man who lived for cricket THERE WAS SADNESS IN BRADFIELD FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF LONG-STANDING RESIDENT BERNARD WRAGG AT THE AGE OF 92. HERE WE REPRODUCE CHRIS WILSON’S INTERVIEW WITH BERNARD, WHO WAS A MAINSTAY OF BRADFIELD CRICKET CLUB, FROM THE MAY, 1999 ISSUE OF SIXER. or many of us the most enduring single image of the English summer is cricket on the village green. That is certainly the case in the picturesque village of Bradfield where the cricket ground is the centrepiece of the community.

And if one man sums up all that is good about this venerable institution it is Bernard Wragg, 74 not out and still going strong as president of Bradfield Cricket Club.

Bernard was born in High Bradfield and never strayed far. For 15 years he moved a few miles down the road to Dungworth but now he is back in Low Bradfield, living just a brisk off-drive away from the boundary of the cricket club that has been a large part of his life.

He first played for Bradfield at the age of 13 ‘because they were short of a player’ but became a regular on leaving school in 1939, carrying on playing for nearly 50 years.

“I retired once at the age of 62 but came back because the second team was struggling and finished the season top of the batting averages,” he recalls.

F

“But I eased myself out because I didn’t want to hold the young ones back.”

Bernard, a talented left-handed batsman, enjoyed every moment of his career, savouring the companionship and keen competition with local rivals.

“Stannington were our nearest side and we always played some good, hard-fought matches,” he recalls.

“I made a lot of friends travelling all over the region to play matches - and that was by bus or tram because none of the players had cars in those days.

“If you missed the last bus from Malin Bridge at 9.30pm it meant a late night and a long walk home.”

Bernard recalls his earliest days playing for Bradfield as a time of struggle.

“There wasn’t much money and it was hard to get some decent kit together within the club. Then again there was no TV and not much else to do other than play football in winter and cricket in summer.

“Young people have more choices now which is why it is sometimes hard to attract new players. But cricket is a wonderful summer game and I hope people will always want to play it in Bradfield.” @SixerRMC

A CRICKETING STALWART Ron Clayton writes...

A chap called Bernard Wragg passed away recently. All I know of him is by word of mouth so forgive me for having the temerity to write about someone I never met. He worked all his life at Marshall's brickyard in the Loxley Valley and played football for them But let's move in on the cricket ground at Low Bradfield and the crack of willow on leather on a summer evening.

Bernard Wragg was a stalwart of that club. He played for them in his sixties, and even in his seventies would pad up if there was a man short. He was groundsman and probably more while his missus made the teas.

Without such folk everything starts to unravel.

Thanks to Malcolm Nunn for the background information.

Gala set to bring a touch of magic to the park FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR FINE WEATHER AS OUGHTIBRIDGE GEARS UP FOR ITS BIGGEST EVENT OF THE SUMMER. here will be magic in the air in Coronation Park this month, as Oughtibridge Gala returns for another spectacular event.

Taking place on Saturday 24 June, this year’s theme is magical kingdoms, so expect plenty of witches and wizards on parade and medieval knights in battle.

Summer galas have been an important part of Oughtibridge’s social calendar since 1972, but the tradition is believed to go back much further to a hospital fundraiser festival that started nearly 100 years ago.

Another local tradition, which has inspired this year’s theme, is the legend of The Dragon of Wantley. The story goes that a knight slayed the dragon on Wharncliffe Crags, which is why you will still find the dragon emblem on the Wharncliffe Side Primary School uniform today. Who knows, The Dragon of Wharncliffe may even be making an appearance.

As usual, the gala will kick off with a parade through the village, setting off from Birkswood Drive at 12.30pm and making its way down Church Street for the official grand opening at Coronation Park at 1pm.

Led by 2017 gala princess Katie, her attendants Jessica and Sienna, the Oughtibridge Brass Band, the local Rainbow and Brownie groups will follow in magical fancy dress outfits carrying handmade decorations.

Once in the main arena, there will be plenty of entertainment for all the family to enjoy including knights from The Escafeld Medieval Society, local dance act Branching Out, music from local band Lost Control and the Wharncliffe Side Primary School choir.

Dog show Scrufts is back for a successful third year and the judges are looking forward to welcoming plenty of new, as well as previous entrees. Scrufts will put local pets through their paces with six categories to

enter including prettiest girl, most handsome boy, best pup under one year and best veteran over ten, followed by a parade around the main arena.

After having to cancel last year because of bad weather, organisers are crossing their fingers that the weather will hold up for the tug of war event. The festivals ‘have a go’ sessions will also be returning, so if you are feeling musical, come and have a blow with the Oughtibridge Brass Band. If you are feeling adventurous, climb the trees for a rope challenge and if you are feeling creative, there will be everything from candle making to floral competitions.

Foodies can enjoy burgers and a hog roast, and delicious magical desserts will include fairy cakes and lemon drizzle cake. And if you

@SixerRMC

are feeling lucky, enter their raffle for a chance to win a cash prize, luxury hampers from local businesses, a £100 voucher for Graham’s Tyres and much more.

Between 2,000 and 3,000 people are expected to attend this year’s gala and, as usual, all the money made on the day will be split between a number of worthy local causes.

“We’ve raised almost £19,000 over the last five years for various local groups and it’s all purely from the support and generosity of people on the day,” says co-organiser Sandra Walton. “This year, much of the money will go towards helping Bradfield Parish Council improve the disabled toilet in Coronation Park. This event is all about helping our community and making it a nicer place to live.”

Other local causes the event will help fund include Oughtibridge Rainbows, Brownies and Guides, Wharncliffe Side Brownies, Friends of Coronation Park, Oughtibridge Brass Band, Wharncliffe Side School Orchestra, Oughtibridge Zion Chapel, Worrall Chapel and many more.

The annual Sports Night has also become a local tradition in recent years. Taking place before the gala on Wednesday 14 June, the evening will give running enthusiasts a chance to compete in The Tom Holmes Gala Chase and Hill Climb Race in association with Penistone Footpath Runners.

With so much to see and do, what is Sandra most excited about this year?

“I’m looking forward to a beautiful sunny day – hopefully! It’s a lovely opportunity to bump into people and see what local groups are doing.

“The parades are always great and it’s lovely to see what costumes and decorations the children have come up with. All the money goes back into the community so it really is worth coming along.”

STANNINGTON CARNIVAL

A whole new lease of life STANNINGTON’S CARNIVAL IS BACK AND PROMISES TO BE BETTER THAN EVER AFTER LAST YEAR’S RAIN-HIT EVENT PROMPTED A RETHINK.

72 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

ast year’s Stannington Carnival may have been a muddy affair, but it did nothing to dampen the spirits of the local community.

Their loyalty and generosity meant that SCOFF, the organising committee, was able to donate more than £4,000 to voluntary organisations within Stannington.

However, the carnival committee felt they were in a rut – both literally and metaphorically. Vehicles stuck in the mud were pulled off Lomas Field by Our Cow Molly's tractor, leaving the committee with the task and cost of repairing the two fields, as requested by Sheffield City Council's Parks Department.

Meanwhile, as the format of the carnival had not changed in a number of years and it was felt that it needed an injection of new stalls and entertainment. Bearing all this in mind, Stannington Carnival will be back for

L

@SixerRMC

its 26th year on Saturday 8 July with a number of changes.

The festival will now be held in the Pavilion Field only. There will also be no parade or theme, but the good news is that the organisers are concentrating on a much more entertaining opening ceremony. Local school children will be singing in the main arena for the official opening at 11.30am.

And the even better news is that all of the regular favourite events and entertainment will be returning.

After much success, the dog show will be back for a third year. If you fancy your chances, pre-register your furry friend before the start of each event for £1 per category.

The categories include veterans and puppies, prettiest girl, most handsome boy and waggiest tail. The show is sponsored by Oscar Pet Foods and all profits go into the local SCOFF fund.

STANNINGTON CARNIVAL

Other old favourites include the Punch & Judy show and the bouncy castles, whilst new activity archery is sure to go down well with kids and adults alike. Could you be the next Robin Hood?

Face painting and balloon modelling will be taking place all day and you will have an exciting chance to meet Elsa from Disney’s Frozen and Sponge Bob Squarepants.

For animal lovers, here will be a static display of owls and a demonstration by Support Dogs. Performances in the centre arena will also include some familiar faces along with some new ones. And don't forget – there will be many of varied stalls to peruse plus plenty of eating outlets to choose from.

The nearby Knowle Top Chapel will also be serving refreshments as always, as well as welcoming performances from Stannington Mixed Choir and The Old Friends Folk Group. They will be joined by the local history group and an exhibition of paintings by Rev Claudia Lupi, Rev Sally Coleman and friends entitled Visual Preaching in the Church Hall Parlour.

There will be plenty of reasons to go to Stannington Carnival this summer, but festival secretary Carol Walker says there is one more thing she hopes will turn out for this year’s event – the sun.

“I’m looking forward to some good weather because when the sun is shining, we get a fantastic turn out and even more donations. Join us for an event that we hope will be the best yet and help put money back into our community.”

Another change will be to the beneficiary system. In the past, members of the carnival committee have nominated local voluntary organisations to receive a donation from the Carnival Fund.

This year, they are asking local voluntary organisations to apply for funding.

Applications will be considered by the committee and hopefully this will mean a better distribution of funds.

An application form can be picked up from the SCOFF tent on the day of the carnival day. Alternatively, call Carol Walker on 0114 3277281 or email her at laneswimmer60@outlook.com. @SixerRMC

Stephens’ inspiration his father, Ray Harrison

Top of the pots RAY HARRISON IS USING THE POWER OF SNOOKER TO HELP TRANSFORM LIVES, WRITES RACHEL MARTIN. ay Harrison, 1985 Paraplegic World Snooker Champion, was the inspiration behind a ground-breaking Sheffield social enterprise, set up by his son, Stephen Harrison following his death.

Inspired by his father’s legacy, Stephen went on to play snooker professionally for twelve years, before becoming a UK and world qualified snooker coach and setting up The Stephen Harrison Snooker Academy in 2007.

Fuelled by his passion for the sport and, in particular, for increasing access to the game, The Stephen Harrison Snooker Academy is a non-profit enterprise based in Sheffield providing snooker coaching and competitions for a wide variety of disadvantaged groups.

“The focus of our work is with young

offenders, people with physical and learning disabilities or mental health problems and young people and adults not in education, employment or training,” says Stephen.

“My father, Ray Harrison, was highly successful at playing this sport and also in promoting snooker to many disabled people.

He was in a wheelchair, a victim of polio, but he had learned how to lift and move his body into certain positions which gave him full control of the table.

“He was such an inspiration and because of him I know that snooker is not only accessible to people with physical handicaps, but it is also a terrific sport for helping people with weak, concentrative powers.

“I train people who find focussing on strategy difficult, helping them learn where to

position the balls and which part of a ball to strike with the cue, and have found that with patience, respect and specialised tuition they can enjoy the sport, follow the rules and learn how to improve their standards.”

Since launching the academy, Stephen has gone on to set-up the UK Snooker Awards, a national project aimed at kick-starting snooker at grassroots level, and the enterprise has continued to grow – proving that snooker can help young people, in particular, with complex needs such as autism, Aspergers and ADHD with social skills, numeracy, literacy, concentration, confidence, independence, dexterity, hand-eye coordination, nutrition and employment opportunities “A lot of the children struggle to cope in social situations and can find it daunting

when first join the club. Once they get into it and start making friends though, you see the concentration they channel into the game and just how much their confidence increases and attitudes and lifestyles evolve. We even see children attending the club independently, which is a huge step.

“Once members turn eighteen, we also Stephen with offer them the opportunity to become a David Collins, who has been voluntary coach, so that they can continue to attending the play snooker throughout their adult life and Academy pass on their skills to the younger children since the age of nine. who attend – with the hope that this will eventually lead on to securing fulltime work.”

In April, the academy staged the fourth National Junior Disability Snooker Championship and Stephen hopes that it will continue to grow across South Yorkshire and eventually take-off worldwide.

“We want to encourage more and more young people, both boys and girls, to get involved and while we’re focused on growing the enterprise from its grass roots here in Sheffield right now, in the long-term I’d love to see it expand worldwide and snooker be reinvigorated and reintroduced into the Paralympics, where it hasn’t been played since 1988.

“I watched the Paralympics in pride and wonder and to see well trained athletes performing to such incredible standards in spite of their disabilities was truly inspiring.

Quick, skilful movements, bordering on the dangerous at times, were exciting to watch and the satisfaction the athletes felt because of their achievements was a joy to see.

“With this in mind, I’m asking for support in backing my dream and we’ll be fundraising in the local community as we work to become more sustainable and increase the services we currently offer.

“We’d love to hear from you if you have any ideas or would like to get involved. The more people I can find who will support me in this endeavour the greater chance it will have of success.”

I’m so grateful that my son James has been able to attend the Stephen Harrison snooker sessions over the last six/seven years.

James is a young man on the autistic spectrum and as such, he has difficulties with social communication and interaction. He has a very limited range of unusually strong and narrow interests, so I was surprised and delighted when he first said he wanted to join the snooker club.

Over the years, it has helped him develop his social skills by mixing with other young people and he now has another interest - we went to see the World Championships at the Crucible earlier this year and James wants to continue to play snooker as a leisure activity throughout his adult life.

Playing snooker has helped James learn about persistence, focus and concentration. Keeping score helps with maths and it has significantly improved his hand-eye co-ordination. Going to snooker on Saturdays was also James’ first experience of spending time away from his family, apart from school, and he even appeared on BBC Look North last year talking about the snooker club.

All in all it’s had a big impact on his independence, confidence and maturity. And, in turn, I’ve really appreciated having that time at the weekends to give me a bit of a break.

The club has such a lovely atmosphere, it’s a calm environment but full of fun too. The staff are so friendly and encouraging and you feel like you’re part of a big, extended family.

This is all down to Stephen. He is such an inspirational man, with a huge passion for the sport and, in particular, for increasing access to the game for people with disabilities.

James has since continued to attend the club as a volunteer, helping with various jobs such as cleaning the tables, and this has also had another positive impact - James has been able to include this on his CV when applying for jobs, he can talk about snooker at interviews and Steve has kindly agreed to provide a reference for him.

Very recently, James has accepted a part-time job and I firmly believe that attending the snooker sessions were a vital part of this journey.

I cannot praise Stephen and the snooker club highly enough for the huge impact it has had on James’ life and on mine too. I am sure other families feel the same.
