Meanwhile we asked for your help in identifying last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph, because the person who sent it in did not supply their details. They haveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in touch yet... but there is still time.

FIND YOUR DREAM KITCHEN WITH THE HELP OF THE EXPERTS AT CONCEPT INTERIORS.

Quality comes as standard f you’re thinking about a new kitchen, bedroom or any other interior renovation project this year, visit the team at Concept Interiors. They pride themselves on offering a thorough and bespoke service to help clients find their dream kitchen.

Based in Sheffield, just off Penistone Road, Concept Interiors design supply and install their own British handmade range of kitchens made in Sheffield as well as modern, highquality German kitchens. The family business has been trading for over 30 years and pride themselves on a friendly, professional service and attention to detail, from design to installation.

There is a huge range of styles and finishes to choose from, including options exclusively available through Concept Interiors in the UK. Their kitchen styles range from modern handleless kitchens to country style farmhouse kitchens. Their matt kitchen fronts are available in laminate, lacquer laminate, full lacquer and matt glass. Their gloss kitchen fronts are also available in laminate, lacquer and glass. Wood veneer fronts are also part of the collection.

All of their kitchens are constructed precisely to the millimetre on modern production lines with continuous quality control.

slip mats, integrated LED lighting, drawer organisers and splashback hanging storage.

Mr and Mrs Jones’ kitchen showcases the quality of their design capability and craftsmanship.

Mr and Mrs Jones wanted a modern kitchen that was designed to be easy to use, and built from robust components and materials. German engineering was the perfect solution. They chose Concept Interiors due to their ability to provide a high-quality product, as well as the honesty and openness the team displayed when discussing their requirements.

After Mr and Mrs Jones chose a kitchen from the displays in the new showroom in Sheffield, the Concept team helped produce the best possible kitchen design to fit the space, using their extensive experience in designing, supplying and installing kitchens in

a variety of different sized and shaped spaces.

The handleless design makes for a clean and minimal look, making it perfect for the modern look Mr and Mrs Jones were looking for.

Following completion of the project, which included ripping out the existing kitchen, plastering, electrics, plumbing, furniture, worktops, flooring, glass splashbacks and decorating, here is what they had to say: “From the moment we walked into Concept Interiors showroom and saw the style and quality of the kitchen units on display, we just knew this was the kitchen we wanted.

Kieron in the showroom led us step by step through the procedure, listening and advising us on every stage of the planning and execution of the work and fitting. The work was done in a quick, efficient and clean and friendly manner.

“Special praise and thanks must go to the specialists and workmen who made everything special for us – especially Ian the fitter, Martin and Joe the electricians, Ryan the decorator, Lee the plumber and Alan Twelvetrees for fitting the flooring.

“If you are looking for a quality kitchen expertly fitted we would certainly recommend Concept Interiors.

Personally we couldn’t be more pleased.”

INTERVIEW

Simon at a club in Germany

Simon with Nigel Bond in Red Square, Moscow, Russia

Lucky break SHEFFIELD MAY BE THE HOME OF SNOOKER BUT ITS REPUTATION IS GLOBAL, SOMETHING EXPERT TABLE-MAKER SIMON BARKER HAS USED TO HIS ADVANTAGE – CHALKING UP A FEW AIR MILES ALONG THE WAY. BY PHOEBE SEYMOUR. nooker might not strike you as a sport that comes with a rock’n’roll lifestyle, but it seems even those out of the spotlight get to do their fair share of jet-setting.

“It’s like being a rock star, only with snooker tables,” joked Simon Barker, head of Barker Billiards and maker of snooker tables for the stars. “You don’t always get time to properly appreciate it. Saying that, I stayed in a hotel in Athens overlooking the Acropolis, which was amazing!

“I think my best work trip was Detroit at the beginning of last year. I went to Lake Michigan, Motown and called into New York on the way back. Australia was good. I went in a Jeep around Australia, to Melbourne and down to Saint Kilda to the beach… I did work by the way!”

Simon’s job consists of creating and delivering snooker tables to everywhere, from the Star Snooker Academy in Shiregreen (where we met), to some of the best snooker clubs in China – the only place in the world that is probably more snooker-mad than Sheffield.

S

Over his 34 year career, Simon has worked on snooker tables for some of the biggest names in the business including Peter Ebdon, Nigel Bond, Stephen Hendry, Ding Junhui and Ronnie O’Sullivan – to name drop a few.

Further to this, he’s installed tables for television shows including The Price is Right, Darling Buds of May and at Wentworth Woodhouse for the film adaptation of David Walliams’ children’s book, Billionaire Boy, as well as at the former palace of Diana, Princess of Wales and the home of Eddie Stobart Group CEO, Andrew Tinkler.

And just in case you think it sounds like a Working in Damascus, Syria

@SixerRMC

cushy way to make a living, transporting and lugging around 12ft by 6ft snooker tables weighing a whopping one and a quarter tonnes each is no easy feat. And there is so much more that goes into creating the perfect table besides.

“They’re not like your club tables. These have heaters on for a start,” he says gesturing at the table in front of us. “You can see they have little wires underneath so that heats the slate up a bit and keeps the cloth on the bed dry and moisture-free, which makes the ball run better.

“Then they have steel block cushions with steel plates so you’ve got an extra response from them. The actual cut and width is much smaller than you’d find in an average club table pocket. You get a club player on these and they’re like a fish out of water because they are so different. All the pockets are templated too, whereas most of the pockets are different sizes in clubland.

“We do all sorts – lacquer tables, black and white tables, red cloths, blue cloths, luminous cloths. We do American pool tables, English pool, carom billiards without pockets, Chinese

pyramid tables… The cloths are usually green with snooker though – I don’t like to change it. I’m a bit of an old traditionalist.”

Simon started out as a joiner, which involved refurbishing snooker tables. This led him to renovating tables for Allied Billiards, before joining the world-renowned Riley and installing the tables for big tournaments and the World Championships. Then in 1996, he made the leap into setting up his own business.

The World Snooker Championship has certainly put Sheffield on the map, having graced The Crucible stage every year since 1977. The snooker club scene in Sheffield exploded from this point on, and being trained at a snooker academy in the Steel City became the highest badge of honour.

“I can’t believe when I travel round, how many people know Sheffield. I just went to Russia with Nigel [Bond] and there was a guy with a Made in Sheffield T-shirt on in Moscow. There’s even a club in Morocco called The Sheffield Academy.”

So will Simon be in the front row watching all the action at The Crucible this month?

“I always go. I’ve been going for the last 25 years. It’s good every year. It’s good for the city and the hotels, but I think it’s more than that. I know it’s only for two weeks, but it gives Sheffield a big presence in the world.

When asked who he was going to bet on to win this year however, he was a little reluctant to say.

“It’s awkward sometimes because if I’ve got two friends that are playing each other, I don’t like to comment. I like to see exciting players. You just can’t say anything against Ronnie though can you? Even the professionals are in awe of him. But then again sometimes he turns up and he’s not the Ronnie you expect – depends what head he’s got on that day.”

Not just an enthusiast, Simon has played his fair share of snooker tournaments over the years.

“I’ve played in the leagues. I still play in the Sheffield and District Snooker Association League. I’m not bad, but I’m nothing like these! They do this every single day of their lives. I play squash more than I play snooker. I play in the leagues at squash too.”

I left the Star Snooker Academy feeling a little more knowledgeable about the game, but then I made a faux pas – I walked past Nigel Bond as he took a shot on one of the huge Barker Billiard tables.

“Oh, it’s bad luck that!” said Simon, only half-joking as I squeezed past. Let’s hope I haven’t jinxed Nigel’s prospects at the 2018 Betfred World Championship.

Catch all the World Championship action at The Crucible from 21 April to 7 May 2018. Move fast to book the last few remaining tickets at www.cruciblesnooker.com or watch it on the big screen at Tudor Square.

GREEN DREAM

HANNAH SANDERS MEETS A FAMILY REALISING THEIR AMBITION TO BUILD THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY HOME IN SHEFFIELD. t’s the greenest house in Sheffield... and until now it has probably been one of the city’s best-kept secrets.

Mention Pinegrove Country Club to most people and, if they remember it at all, they will recall a sports and social club in Stannington that had a few very successful years back in the 1980s and ‘90s.

It faded from public consciousness after going out of business, falling into disrepair and being subject to a series of arson attacks.

But this mouldering venue was the unlikely site chosen by local businessman Mike Haver to create a stunning, self-contained, ecofriendly family home.

Mike runs a building maintenance company and his wife Meg is a consultant at the Northern General. Alongside Meg’s mother Dorothy they have combined to create a oneof-a-kind house with vision, passion and an

I

eye for detail that truly makes it stand alone.

“We wanted to create a home that was selfsustaining and energy-efficient, focusing on future-proofing. We are quite passionate about our impact on the environment. We wanted somewhere we could live our lives as green as possible,” said Meg. “The wonderful thing about Sheffield is that you have the fingers of green that feed into the city, which made it a great place for the build.”

Before settling on the former sports club, they considered other sites including Grenoside Primary School, The Old Chapel at Middlewood Hospital, Claremont House, Loxley and Brantwood School, Nether Edge but after much deliberation, feasibility studies and costing, finally settled on Pinegrove.

“We hadn’t even considered Pinegrove until a chance drive past after visiting the Robin

The derelict Pinegrove Country Club 38 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

@SixerRMC

Hood pub in Little Matlock. The site caught our eye, so of course we went to investigate, and ideas just starting pouring out of us. But then the difficult task came of trying to find out who owned it,” said Mike.

“There was no for ‘sale sign’, just a derelict building. The company listed as owning it was no longer trading and the solicitors had been taken over by a larger firm, meaning we had our work cut out for us. It was our architect who suggested contacting the bank and, after bouncing from one person to the next, eventually a commercial land agent called us in regard to purchasing the site.”

The area itself is a brownfield site in the greenbelt, consisting of 13 acres, eight of which is woodland along with 700m of riverbank along the river Loxley.

“Before we demolished the site, we needed to safely remove a family of pipistrelle bats

FEATURE

who had been roosting underneath the roof.

“We had to get a license for doing this from Natural England, which we were granted, and then an ecologist came to catch the three bats.

Once the house was built we had to put up bat boxes just in case, but they haven’t returned so have obviously found somewhere far nicer to roost.”

Other problems were on a significantly larger scale and proved to be a test of both patience and ingenuity. The whole site consists of inert landfill, meaning the house had to be built on piles. In December 2012, when demolition began, the Havers family wanted to recycle as much of the old building as possible, so the material was later used to form a base layer.

“After the foundations had been built, we then fitted two rainwater tanks underground which can store 20,000 litres of rainwater and be used for garden irrigation, flushing toilets and even the washing machine,” said Mike.

The house is built on Passivhaus prinicples which means it meets a very high level of energy efficiency, minimising its carbon footprint and resulting in an ultra-low energy building.

To meet this standard, it was important for them to make the house airtight and they achieved this by using a combination of Warmcell sustainable insulation, Pavatex woodfibre board and rigid PIR foam board.

Mike taped all the joints so no air could escape, and fitted the house with a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system to minimise smells and stale air without losing heat.

“Throughout the build we wanted to utilise local products, so the timber frame was built

by Oakworth in Handsworth, the stone is from Stanton Moor in Derbyshire and our floor is limestone sourced from the Peak District,” said Meg.

By Christmas 2013, the house was watertight which meant that 6KW solar panels could be fitted to generate electricity. They also had a log boiler installed, which uses wood grown on the site to provide the domestic hot water and underfloor heating.

“Throughout the build, there were so many challenges we faced but for me, one of the hardest things was being so physically and

Meg and Dorothy in the kitchen of the new house

mentally involved 24/7. The number of decisions involved is difficult, but fortunately for us we had a team of three to share the workload. It was great to see everything developing but it was hard living with all the elements that weren’t quite finished,” said Meg. “The fact that it was non-stop was what made it so challenging. Once you had finished one section, you were back on the laptop, planning and ordering materials for the next phase,” added Mike.

But all the hard graft was worth it when the couple were able to finally move into a home that, as well as being the greenest in Sheffield, is also stunningly beautiful and truly unlike any other house in the city.

The house has an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room along with five bedrooms, a workshop, a pottery studio, a separate apartment, four bathrooms, two lounge areas and a reading corner overlooking the Loxley valley. They also have bees, vegetable gardens and an expansive greenhouse.

The interior is just as breath-taking as the exterior, with pastel shades carefully chosen to coincide with the surrounding nature, and the unique pieces of furniture perfectly combining to create a contemporary and rustic feel.

But of course, with a house on this scale the job is never totally finished. The Haver family has just been granted planning permission for a hydro-electric scheme on the near-by weir and

@SixerRMC

they are hoping to start building it in 2019. This will take water from the top of the weir, run it through an Archimedes screw generator and create enough electricity to run the household.

“If you came back in five to ten years we would hope that the area outside the walls would be more established as a renewable coppice woodland and we would have a traditional hedge along the roadside. We also would hope to have chickens and be much more self-sufficient when it comes to feeding ourselves. I would hope we would be living as eco-friendly as possible,” said Mike.

“When we were building, Kevin McCloud’s Grand Designs book was a lifeline. He explained that there are three elements to a build – the finish, cost and deadline and he doesn’t think you can deliver the same standard on all three.

“You have to compromise and for us, although we spent more than we envisioned, the timescale was what we needed to be flexible on. We thought it would take three to five years and here we are six years down the line and still going,” adds Meg. “All of us are proud of the finishes we’ve achieved, being innovative and getting the features that we wanted.

“We’ve achieved more than we could’ve ever imagined, and having such a large household with everything working proves that we have designed and built it correctly- it is a real sense of achievement, and it added to our enjoyment when we were able to host a large gathering of family this Christmas.”

SIXER HEROES

Jake and Pierre on some of their previous adventures

Half the World Away JAKE AND PIERRE ARE GEARING UP TO TACKLE AN EPIC EURASIAN CHALLENGE IN AID OF NEWLIFE. ake Johnson and his friend Pierre will be setting off from Singapore on New Year’s Day 2019, hoping to burn off those Christmas calories over a period of approximately seven months, as they cycle roughly 16,500km through South East Asia, over the Tibetan Plateau and amongst the Himalayas, before riding through Pakistan, Iran and finally into Europe.

“The countries that we hope to be passing through are: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and France,” says Jake.

“I think the most challenging parts will be the cold and altitude of the Himalayas in March and the heat of Iran in May. But

J

56 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

funnily enough, these are the parts which Pierre and I are both super excited to ride, exactly for the reason of their toughness.

“They promise to be gruelling but also sublimely beautiful, to the extent that I find it hard to contain my excitement when I talk or think about the prospect of visiting these places.”

As for the motivation and the ‘why’ behind the trip, Pierre and Jake both had the eccentric idea of one day undertaking a transcontinental cycle ride, driven by a love of adventure, taking on challenges, and rather importantly, cycling. And as it turns out, 2019 is the year Jake finishes his degree in physics at the University of Manchester, while Pierre is currently working in New Zealand and will ultimately need to return to France, meaning @SixerRMC

this abstract idea has been able to take real form.

“I’m local to Stannington/Rivelin and during my time in lower education I took part in a DofE expedition which really got me into the outdoors.

“Afterwards, I bought a bike, and I haven’t looked back since. Especially now that the roads around Bradfield and Strines Reservoir have been so beautifully tarmacked – it’s impossible not to love cycling in such a stunning playground.

“As for Pierre, he’s not from S6. He is French. He studied psychology in Montpellier but is now in New Zealand working and travelling. He’s always been really sporty, especially on a bike, but he’s dabbled in all sorts, from archery to mountaineering.

SIXER HEROES

“He and I met three summers ago and we’ve been great friends ever since, especially last year since I lived in France, which meant that we could frequently meet up and go on adventures. For example, we ran a marathon together, cycled from Lyon to Montpellier, and went on a couple of mountaineering trips.”

Aside from a desire to satiate their appetites for adventure, Jake and Pierre’s additional goal is to raise money for Newlife, a charity that provides mobility equipment for children who need it most. And for Jake, this is a cause which he feels very strongly about, as his little sister has been confined to a wheelchair throughout her entire life.

“I’ve seen first-hand the difference mobility equipment can make to quality of life, not only for my sister, but for my family in general, and it seems almost intuitive for us to undertake a great physical challenge to ultimately help out those who have physical limitations, in whatever form that may be.

“We’re hoping that the money raised, as well as the gesture of our ride, will go towards helping young people by alleviating the barriers of mobility – disabled is not synonymous with ‘not able’!”

Along the way, Jake and Pierre don’t want

to ‘disappear under the radar’, they plan to keep supporters in the loop by sharing videos, photographs and writing blog posts, to chronicle the lowest of lows and the highest of highs.

“We don’t want the only communication with home to be a ‘Don’t panic mum, I’m safe‘ text every couple of weeks. We ultimately want people to share what we’re doing and we want to paint a picture of travel by bicycle, of not fearing strangers (within reason) and in saying yes to opportunities along the way.

“Our philosophy is yes – get to France by bike. But along the way we want to accumulate a wealth of tales to regale our pals with once we get home. And also, if we’ve got a reasonably constant stream of material coming through via social media, then people are going to want to follow what we’re up to (we hope) and this should hopefully mean that we end up raising more money for a very worthy cause.”

What’s more, the intrepid duo plan to announce a way in which they want to get supporters more intimately involved in their adventure – no, it’s not a VR cycling scenario.

But for now, this idea is under development, so keep an eye on the Half the World Away Facebook page and blog for more information.

To fund their adventure, Jake and Pierre are running a Just Giving page and a crowdfunding website, where people can

@SixerRMC

donate money which will go towards equipment costs, and at the same time, they are also applying for sponsorship, inviting companies into a partnership in which they provide equipment in return reviews – they are looking primarily for bikes, a tent and technical clothing.

“There are times when I think this is going to be easy – all we have to do is turn round pedals with our legs for eight hours a day, eat loads of food, sleep and repeat. We get to see the most gorgeous scenery in the world, meet people from all over, and all while staying super fit. But on the other hand, there are times when intrepidation breaks into fear, and I become anxious about all the challenges and misfortune that could befall us. But I am confident that we can overcome the challenges, saunter through the lows and soar through the highs, hopefully coming out of the other side yearning for more.”

GARDENS

Spicing up a small space WHO SAYS SIZE MATTERS? WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR GARDEN, YOU DON’T NEED ROOM TO IMPRESS, WRITES EMILY SMITH. ring life back into your home this spring by making the most of a small garden. With winter well behind us, there’s no excuse to keep your backyard on the back-burner – and reviving limited outdoor space doesn’t need to be a game of Tetris. Grab your shovel and dig into these tips on growing a green thumb.

B

Upcycling Rather than throwing away old wooden furniture, tempt your creative side by repurposing them outdoors. Repaint and reuse broken shelves as storage for plants, use bright chairs to add a quirky character, or even repurpose a birdbath as a plant pot. With upcycling you can make the most of what you already have, without any extra spending.

Adjust the lighting Turn up the lights – and the liveliness – of a small garden by adding a sense of spark. Combining fairy lights within foliage, dotting lanterns around furniture, or even highlighting a pathway, can all jazz up a gloomy space. This growing trend has seen solar powered lighting skyrocket, so maintenance isn’t an issue for scatter-brains. www.thesolarcentre.co.uk

@SixerRMC

GARDENS

A pop of colour Through perky plant pots and cheerful furniture, a small pop of colour can go a long way for a small space. Freshening up with florals gives a brighter appearance, and doing this through pots allows hassle-free portability when you fancy a change.

Plant hangers Grow your garden upwards with hanging planters, without jeopardising precious floor space. Ceramic plant hangers, flower baskets, and tiered pots allow you to exploit all angles of your backyard, and they can even be made at home. Incorporate wooden climbers along walls for vines to spread on, for an even cosier feel.

Fire features

Flowing features

Fire pits add a striking style – and a surge of heat – to a chilly garden, all whilst having a cosy feel. Adding anything from a chiminea, barbeque, or a contemporary fire pit means the excuse of it being too cold won’t be an issue, and is perfect for an evening get together.

Implementing a water-based feature brings a calming flow to your garden with minimal effort. A bird bath, tiered fountain or cascading water piece can sit happily in any corner of your garden and take up little room, or act as a grand centrepiece.

Houseplants Bring the houseplant bandwagon into your home by adding low-maintenance plants to empty shelves or windowsills. This feel-good décor technique will see you reap the benefits of air purification, reducing levels of dust and stabilising air temperatures. Pothos plants, English Ivy or Peace Lilies are promising picks. www.midwestliving.com/garden/container/super-easy-house-plants

Grow your own With the growing trend of health consciousness, knowing how and where your food comes from is something we’re all aware of. Growing your own herbs and spices at home – from tomatoes to lavender – allows you combine practicality with charm, all whilst eliminating the worry of where your food has come from. www.rhs.org.uk/advice/grow-your-own @SixerRMC

Lots to celebrate THE SPECIAL OCCASIONS FAYRE AT SANDERSONS , FOX VALLEY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

he sun was shining as Fox Valley hosted its first event of the spring – the Special Occasions Fayre at Sandersons Boutique Store.

The day-long event, from 11am to 5pm on 25 March, was aimed at helping customers to prepare for those special events coming up in 2018, including milestone birthdays, proms, race days and weddings.

Sandersons shoppers were welcomed with a glass of bubbly, while the first 100 guests were given goody bags.

The Sandersons team showcased carefully selected mens and ladies occasion wear with collections from top brands including Phase Eight, Ted Baker, Hobbs and Remus Uomo.

Over in the Beauty Lounge, the store’s experts were demonstrating make-up to complete customers’ looks, while Benefit Cosmetics were taking bookings for brow waxing and tinting.

Downstairs, in-store florist Fleur de Lys displayed some gorgeous arrangements for all kinds of events, while local independent businesses including magician Andy Taylor, wedding planning service You Said Yes and Anthony Oxley Photography were all on hand to discuss customers’ needs.

Upstairs, Zoe Wadsworth of Fab Events talked to customers about parties and weddings of all budgets, Natalie Mosley was available to discuss her Lucy May lingerie range, and Katie Ford from Fit4It gave a talk about her ten-week transformation plan, Shine Bright Like a Diamond.

Outside, The Gin Wagon was serving delicious cocktails and the bandstand hosted a range of music, including a rock choir, which saw a huge crowd singing along.

Sandersons store supervisor and event organiser, Amy Hodgkinson, said: “Today is about promoting all that the store has to offer, with everything from clothing to homeware perfect for wedding gifts, as well as presenting some of the best local suppliers, from Hummingbird Bridal Studio based here at Fox Valley, to Rotherham-based wedding planners You Said Yes and more. This is an annual event and we look forward to an even bigger and better event next year.”

Being a loser makes them winners! eing the best at losing wouldn’t normally help you to scoop an award – yet across the country Slimming World members have done just that, after being named their group’s Greatest Loser 2018.

Local group winners, some of whom are pictured here, have lost over 120st between them.

Sam Walker from Julie’s Hillsborough Trinity group joined to be healthier and slimmer before she hits 50 this year.

“Slimming World has changed my life! It really was now or never. Food optimising allows you to eat loads of tasty, healthy foods but still enjoy treats like chocolate or crisps, so I’ve never felt deprived.

“The group is a wonderfully supportive, a

bunch of people who are behind each other every step of the way. I’m now looking forward to growing old not only disgracefully, but healthily.”

Julie said: “I’ve only been a consultant for eight months but to give someone their 6.5st awards has got to be one of my highlights so far, Sam is an inspiration to everyone.”

Ben Muscroft, From Christine’s group at Hillsborough Arena, has lost an incredible 13.5 stones and says: “I feel like a new man since losing weight – in fact, I look so different that people who I haven’t seen for a while often can’t believe I’m the same person.

For me though it’s the change on the inside that’s been the greatest – I’m happier, healthier and much more confident.”

Christine says: “I really am proud of all my

members but the changes we’ve seen in Ben are incredible. I hope his success will inspire other people who’d like to lose weight by forming new lifestyle habits and become happier and healthier to take action.

“There’s a warm welcome waiting at Slimming World and, just think, if you start today you could feel like a completely new person... just like Ben.” If you’d like to find out to lose weight without ever feeling hungry or deprived then there will be a warm welcome waiting for you at any one of our groups.

hildren at Coumes Spring Children’s Centre are enjoying a new play room that has recently been added for two year olds and younger three year olds.

The wood cabin is called the Rainbow Room and has large windows looking out onto the garden. The maximum group size for this room will be between twelve and sixteen children – small enough to create a perfect environment for younger children to develop their confidence.

Coumes Spring offers the Little Stars room for up to six children age zero to two and the Rising Stars room for 24 to 28 children age three to four. During out of school hours and school holidays the Kingfisher Club provides exciting activities for older children age four to 11. A few places are available in the Rainbow Room, Rising Stars Room and Kingfisher Club in the summer term.

There is currently a waiting list for most days in the Little Stars Room, so it’s important to book a place as early as possible, so give them a call and arrange a visit? Also, visit their facebook page or website for details of our Save the Children Fund Pepper Pig Muddy Puddle event in April.

BITS &S PIECE Cupola exhibition showcases ideas about identity Who am I? What is identity? How is it formed?

How is it expressed? Cupola has put together an exhibition of diverse works featuring artists who have responded to the title of the exhibition, I. The exhibition is free and will run up to 21 April at the Cupola Gallery on Middlewood Road during the opening hours of 10am until 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

Painting, printmaking and photographs of various sizes and an impressive 6ft stained glass wardrobe/alter piece share space with kiln-formed glass sculptural objects and a full-grown 'fashion monster' amongst other things.

“The response to the open submission call for works has been impressive and more varied than we were expecting,” says Karen Sherwood, director at Cupola. “This is a visually arresting exhibition, which will no doubt offer challenges for some, but we hope that raw, sensitive and occasionally unusual expressions of self within this exhibition will strike a cord with some.”

The 17 artists taking part include Anna Cortada Bordas, Bren Head, Chris Eastham, Diogo Duarte, Dominika Kupcova, Fierce Fine Art, Fumi, Lyn Hodnett, Patrick Gomersall, Priscilla Edwards, Sayo Ota, Tom Crump and many more.

Hillsborough’s Girls’ Brigade members celebrating organisation’s125th anniversary The story of Girls’ Brigade’s development between 1893 and 2016 is truly inspirational. It focuses on pioneering women in countries across the world, joined by a shared sense of God’s call to empower girls and to live as people of mission.

In 1965, the three UK–based founding members of this Christian movement amalgamated, adopting the name of their earliest mission work, The Girls’ Brigade. Since 1983, the movement has grown around the world.

In England & Wales, The Girls’ Brigade continued to develop its mission as part of the church, specialising in providing local community groups where girls may develop their skills, explore Christian faith, make friends for life and encounter the hope offered by engaging with God’s offer for us to experience ‘life to the full’.

The 32nd Co Girls Brigade at Hillsborough Tabernacle are always taking part in actionpacked, fun and safe friendship groups for girls and young women aged four to 30 and is raising the volume of hope in this generation.

To celebrate the anniversary, the 32nd group have created memory boxes to keep their special memories of 2018 in. At the end of the year, they will open them and look over all the fantastic things they have done and achieved.

The group meet up every Monday in term time for a fun evening. See more details in the S6 Events section. To find out more about the Girls’ Brigade, visit www.girlsb.org.uk.

WELCOME TO MY OFFICE – VIEWS FROM THE ROOFS OF 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 S6 he was when he took these photographs?

Congratulations to those who correctly guessed where Simon was last month – Birkswood Drive in Oughtibridge. @SixerRMC

A champion night out

ENJOY HIGH-SPEED THRILLS AND SPILLS WITH THE SHEFFIELD TIGERS AT OWLERTON STADIUM.

heffield Tigers are one of the most iconic names in professional motorsport. And, racing at Owlerton Stadium just outside the city, they have one of the fastest, most exciting circuit speedways.

They have a glittering history, but the club as also keen to be successful in the modern era and, in October 2017 they celebrated their first league title since 2002 and Championship Best Pairs glory.

Boss Simon Stead says hopes are high for more glory this season: “We’ll never forget what we achieved last year and it’s obviously going to be a hard act to follow.”

“But we’ve got a good side together and I’m really enthusiastic about our chances. The whole team likes the track and I’m sure we’ll be a major force once again.

“The major problem is we have the target on our back now. Everyone wants to beat us

but that’s the price you pay when you’re the champions.

“Owlerton remains one of the greatest tracks in the sport and it’s a great stadium so I would urge everyone who has never been to come along and try a night out. It’s a great way to spend a Thursday evening.”

Speedway is a wonderful night of entertainment and unlike other motorsports, you can see all the track action all the time.

Owlerton Stadium boasts some of the finest corporate facilities available at unbelievable value for individuals and businesses, with companies coming back time and time again for corporate nights out due to the affordable prices.

And, unlike other sports, the stars of the show, the gladiators of shale, the riders themselves are easily accessible and only too willing to have a chat and take pictures with

@SixerRMC

fans and sponsors alike.

A typical Owlerton experience lasts around 90-minutes with 15 races at high speed - but you can make a night of it by getting involved with one of their great value packages.

They also enjoy a wonderful relationship with the regional media, getting regular exposure. And the team work tirelessly on their social media platforms to promote the club and profile.

It's a night out you will never forget, or want to. For more information visit www.sheffieldspeedway.co.

Former beauty queen Lilian in a picture she sent to Ernest while he was serving in the war

Lilian with husband Ernest on their silver wedding anniversary (above) and with her 100th birthday card from the Queen (below)

A MUCH-LOVED STANNINGTON CHARACTER IS STILL GOING STRONG WITH THE HELP OF HER FAMILY AND THE SUPPORT OF THE HORIZON CARE TEAM.

Happy birthday – Lilian Machin

Lilian joins the 100 club eaching the grand age of 100 is an amazing milestone, and Lilian Vera Machin’s 100th birthday is one that deserves special recognition - not only because she has lived such a varied life, but because she is a well-loved member of her community.

Lilian from Stannington celebrated her birthday surrounded by her seven children Paul, Gerald, Andrea, Clive, Neil, Beverley and Lesley, as well as a number of family members, friends and neighbours.

Lilian continues to touch the lives of everyone she meets and is locally wellknown.

“She’s got a strong network of friends and I think that’s what’s kept her going,” says her daughter, Lesley. “Horizon Care, the day centre mum goes to, put on a party in the day – they all love her to bits and they are marvellous with her! Then in the evening, we had a large party for everyone at The Anvil, which was a great success.

“We met family members we didn’t even know about, carers past and present – and even the trolley man from Morrisons came to wish her well!

“As mum has dementia, she has little

R

memory of the day, but the rest of us do and are so proud of her for still living a relatively independent life. She is such a character and everyone in Stannington knows her.”

Lilian was born on 1 February, 1918, and was the youngest of eight children. After leaving school, she worked in the restaurant at Walsh’s Department Store, while entering a number of beauty contests. In 1939 (approx.), she was named Miss Sheffield – an achievement she still proudly talks about to this day.

She married Fred Bellamy, to whom she had her first son, Paul, but the marriage didn’t last. While working as a civil servant, she met

@SixerRMC

her second husband, Ernest Machin, who joined the police after the Second World War, and together they had six children.

Lesley and her siblings have fond memories of seaside holidays and picnics in the country.

Their mum was house proud and was a brilliant cook. Though money was short, Lilian would flex her creativity by making many of their clothes.

Though her beauty contest days were behind her, Lilian continued to take pride in her appearance and even now, takes great care with her hair, makeup and jewellery. After Ernest died 26 years ago, she would bake most days and deliver the buns and cakes to her neighbours, family members and shop owners all over Hillsborough.

She only stopped doing so four years ago, after developing dementia and having many falls resulting in her breaking both femurs, both arms, her ribs and collar bone.

“She was told she would have to go into care and that she would never walk again, but we said, ‘not our mum!’” says Lesley. “Thanks to a great support team including family, neighbours Sheila and Sue, the day centre and two evening ladies who put mum to bed, she continues to live an active life.”
