DO YOU REMEMBER?

Last month:

Do you remember? his month’s sporting trip down memory lane comes courtesy of Barry Couldwell, who sends us a line-up of a local football team. Do you recognise any of the players and do you know the name of the team and the era? Last month’s photo was familiar to many of you. It was, of course, the blacksmith’s shop, yard and cottage on Loxley Road, before the former was demolished in 1957 to provide access to the new Admiral

T

Rodney pub. The blacksmith relocated across the top of the yard which, along with the cottage, survived into the 1970s when they were demolished to make way for an extension. This brought back memories for 90-yearold Sixer reader Joe Castle, who remembers the Fletcher family running the blacksmiths and doing a roaring trade with local farmers and horse owners. Now let’s see how you get on this month.

Write and send your photos to: Do You Remember?, Sixer, RMC Media, 6 Broadfield Court, Broadfield Business Park, Sheffield, S8 0XF Alternatively, you can email your answer to sixer@rmcmedia.co.uk

Winter warning! Hallam Veterinary Centre 47 Holme Lane, Hillsborough Sheffield. S6 4JP

Tel: 0114 234 3013

There is nothing more we enjoy than being warm in winter, unfortunately for us and our pets - so do fleas. As we turn on the heating or sit by a fire the flea is busy reproducing. Cats and dogs in our warm houses provide the ideal breeding environment, infestation is rapid and very quickly our pets are suffering. The fleas will continue to reproduce in carpets and bedding.

Talk to us at Hallam Veterinary Centre. Our vets will prescribe a treatment programme which will help ensure that your pets are flea free, comfortable and healthy as part of an essential preventive health programme.

PROMOTION

On yer bike – it’s great! TONY GIBB OF FULL GAS BIKES EXPLAINS WHY HE IS A BIG FAN OF YORKSHIRE’S CYCLING REVOLUTION. ony Gibb was a professional cyclist for 15 years, winning world and national titles. He is now a commentator and presenter for Eurosport, and the owner of Full Gas Bikes and Full Gas Cycling events. He splits his time between London and Sheffield and is pretty sure the cycling in Yorkshire beats London hands down. “Well, I know one thing for sure.” he says. “Yorkshire is fast becoming the centre of cycling in the UK and, if it carries on like this, soon, the world! “First, the Tour de France, which was simply outstanding. At the time, friends of mine in France said: ‘hey, stop trying to steal our race!’. The crowds were out of this world and, for me, that was the day I fell in love with Yorkshire and the reason we opened the first Full Gas Bikes at Fox Valley, Stocksbridge. Next up, the Tour de Yorkshire – a legacy event following on from the success of the Tour visit. A race that was an instant hit with the riders, albeit one of the hardest races on their calendar

@SixerRMC

due to the terrain. The race gets bigger and better each year and I am so excited about this year’s edition, not least because the final stage finished right outside Full Gas Bikes’ front door! “And to cap it all, the 2019 World Road Championships have just been awarded to Yorkshire! A week-long festival of races, which will visit every part of the county! “Being a southerner (sorry!), all I can say is that the scenery and cycling here is simply breathtaking. “Yes, it’s hard, yes, its hilly – but it is so worth it once you get to the top and see all the amazing views. There are so many great events to ride and all of the above races have support rides for everyone from families with kids, through to the serious sportive rider wanting to test themselves over the same terrain as the professional riders. “So, what are you waiting for? Get the bike out, fill your lungs with some fresh Yorkshire air and take in the stunning views. I know from experience, it’s well worth it.”

Plan now to You need safeguard your family’s future to take advice if… NOBODY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT DYING, BUT IT IS ESSENTIAL TO PLAN YOUR AFFAIRS CAREFULLY

nsurprisingly, during the cold winter months there is a noticeable increase in deaths compared to during the summer months. The Office for National Statistics refers to these as ‘excess winter deaths’. In 2015/16, the number of excess winter deaths halved compared to the year before, at 24,300. That’s primarily because the previous year’s figure sharply increased on usual winter deaths as a result of a particularly ineffective flu vaccine. Because that vaccine didn’t combat flu properly, a larger number of elderly people passed away during the winter months. As a result, it’s easy to think excess winter deaths is only an issue for the very old. But according to the ONS, in 2015/16 there were similar mortality rates across all age groups. The mortality rate among those over the age of 85 actually fell, as that is the age group most at risk from flu. Deaths go up for all age groups during winter, and it isn’t simply down to the very old dying because of a strong flu. It’s not a pleasant thing to think about, but these figures should remind us all that death is sadly inevitable. As a result, it’s absolutely crucial that you begin thinking about what will happen after you die. What plans do you have in place to continue to support your family? What do you want to happen to your assets? Are there particular charities or organisations that you would like to support after death? Who will responsibility fall to for paying for your funeral? If you don’t have a will in place, or a pre-paid funeral plan, the process of dealing with your estate becomes much more stressful for your loved ones, and there is no guarantee that your assets will be divided as you’d like. Estate Planning Services can help – and everything starts with a cup of tea and a chat, for which there is no charge. Contact us today to find out more information. Give us a call on 0114 288 1104 or visit us at www.estateplanningservices.co.uk

ADVERTORIAL

Free Chiropractic Screen and Meet the Team Many people are unsure about whether they want to visit a chiropractor, or whether it would help their problem at all.

On Monday 13th March we are keeping times available for you to just drop in to our clinic between the hours of 9-1 and 2-6 for a Free Chiropractic Screen. These free screens are ideal if you would like to determine, without obligation, if our services may be of benefit to you. Free Chiropractic Screens are approximately 15 minutes long informal appointments with one of our chiropractors to simply talk about your problem. We will take a brief history of your problem, no physical examination is done and no treatment takes place. A free screen provides the way for a prospective patient to get in contact with the clinic

and find out if chiropractic may be the way forward and if a proper Initial consultation is worth carrying out, before any money is spent. If our Chiropractors think that chiropractic is not suitable for you, they can help by pointing you in the right direction and referring you on to someone who may be able to help. So, to find out if we are likely to be able to treat the root of your problem and help reduce your pain/ stiffness enabling you to return to activities that you have been avoiding, come along for a free screening.

FREE ACUPUNCTURE SCREENINGS ALSO AVAILABLE WITH JASMINE ABSON Our massage therapist Dawn Croft will also be available to talk to anyone who is considering massage.

WEDDINGS

YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY WILL YOUR BIG DAY BE TRADITIONALLY WHITE OR WILD AND WACKY? RACHEL MARTIN HAS GOT SOME IDEAS… ecent years have seen brides-to-be go crazy for shabby chic and eclectically bright weddings, and, as we greet 2017, its clear couples are much more interested in going down the aisle their own way. Your wedding should represent your style and personality, and, while there are many thousands of themes to choose from, we’ve rounded up some ultra-romantic inspiration - from rustic chic to gilded glam - to help you find your wedding style.

R

FESTIVAL If you want a wedding that’s entertainment-focused, informal and all about fun, food and flower crowns then a festival-themed wedding is perfect for you. More and more couples are holding festival weddings – many stretching their celebrations out over a whole weekend, with guests camping at the festival site. From live music and performance to delicious food and drink, festival style nuptials throw the rulebook away in terms of format and allow a bride and groom to really express their personalities. And, if your guest list is large, it’s a great way to make the most of your budget and still give the guests a great time.

Metallic

Eco Chic

Metallic is the new black, or white in the wedding world, with trending tones including silver, copper and rose quartz. Named Pantone’s colour of the year 2016, the blush-hued metallic isn't just for jewellery, it's a softer way to incorporate sparkle and works well when mixed with a light colour palette – making it the perfect colour to accent an outdoor spring affair. With the right (light) touch, subtle metallics can transform invitations, place settings, and even flowers from understated details to sublime showpieces.

With the abundance of locally sourced cuisine, organic wines, and repurposed materials available, couples can reduce their carbon footprints without reducing style. Easy trades, like swapping plastic for biodegradable dishes and new jewelry for used and borrowed items, can dramatically reduce the waste output (not to mention expenses) of a big occasion. For couples looking to infuse a little “globetrotting philanthropist” flair, consider booking a glamping honeymoon, or invite your guests to make a charity donation in lieu of gifts.

WEDDINGS

Botanical

Seaside Whether inspired by soft golden sands or an afternoon spent sailing, let your love for the ocean inspire your destination or nautical themed wedding. Picture pastel colours, a beautiful arch in front of the ocean, and the sound of waves lapping against the shore as you say your “I dos”. You may not be lucky enough to consider a destination wedding, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the beach to you. Deep oranges and pinks paired with large and bright tropical foliage, like White Star and Bismarkia, will give the event an exotic feel. And why not go all out and kick off your shoes - barefoot is where it’s at for this wedding theme.

A twist on the much-loved rustic theme, this trend can be a beautiful choice. Fill your reception room with foliage, berries and fur cones, and, for the nature lovers out there, a wooden arch decorated with wildflowers. This is also a great way to make your wedding seasonal, as you’ll be taking inspiration from your surroundings. Think handpicked-style bouquets and wooden stump table centres, topped with tea lights and flowers in little bottles. Candle lanterns also create a mysterious atmosphere, and strings of fairy lights hanging from a big ol’ tree are super romantic and high impact (just don’t forget the bug spray).

Art Deco This popular theme is showing no signs of going anywhere anytime soon. Popularised by Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby, the 1920’s are a constant source of wedding inspiration. Whether you go all-out and amp up the atmosphere with vintage-inspired gown, posh getaway car and venue, or just let it influence your decor, this is the ultimate glamorous scheme.

VINTAGE MINIMALISM Brides-to-be are turning to clean lines, simple florals, and understated décor as a respite from the oversaturation of wedding customizations. Green and white accents are all you need for a romantic atmosphere, while a simple wedding dress offers a chic counterpoint to the crystal-heavy ballgown.

Winter Wonderland A winter wonderland motif allows you to recreate the magic of the frosty season, no matter what the climate is like outside. Dangling crystals, frosted branches, white florals, glowing candles and even fake snow can all help you evoke the feel of an elegant wintertime wedding.

Fantasy

The vintage wedding trend is still going strong and it’s no surprise - there’s just something oh-so-romantic about adding old-worn items and antiques to your big day. Many couples opt to include family heirlooms within the décor, giving a personal touch to their retro wedding. Love vintage but crave a bit more edge? Crank things up to eleven with a rockabilly or disco-themed extravaganza, featuring kitschy décor, funky desserts and a live band.

BOHO

If you have a passion for something very particular, whether it’s Harry Potter, video games, Alice in Wonderland or zombies – why not make it your theme? What wedding guest wouldn’t love to be immersed in a fantasy vision for the day?

Characterized by details like unfinished wood, Mason jars, lanterns, twine and natural colors, the rustic boho theme brings a warm and down-to-earth vibe to any wedding. A repurposed barn is the ideal setting, and, a luxurious medley of eclectic global and woodland motifs define the romantic luxe style. Rich, jewel-tone organza and lacy, floral-inspired table covers create an exquisite backdrop for mercury glass vessels, gilded candle holders, beaded chandeliers and abundant florals nestled in lush natural mosses. Surround yourself in the warm white glow of candlelight, fairy light, and draping curtains to complete this opulent look

Designer Kitchen Direct FINEST QUALITY DESIGNER KITCHENS AT UNBEATABLE PRICES. his year, Designer Kitchen Direct (DKD) opened a new showroom on Junction Road Sheffield, just above Hunters Bar roundabout. Dawn Rayner, managing director, has 25 years experience in the business and has teamed up with her daughter-in-law, Mary Major, who identified a need for bespoke designer kitchens at affordable prices to all.

The Designer Kitchen Direct team (L-R): Mary, Lauren, Dawn and Leah 42 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

“With this greater level of understanding I can design by function as well as aesthetics.” Each kitchen is bespoke which means you can have yours in any style or colour you want – traditional solid wood, painted, contemporary Italian gloss, or matt finish. Each range has a wide choice of accessories; beautiful handles, clever storage solutions, and stunning worktop finishes for a unique look. Mary adds: “Our prices beat everyone else for this level of quality and finish. All our cabinets and drawers will stand the test of time, with 18mm solid backs and sides to hold them square and provide a firm base for high quality solid doors.” If you need any building work, to maximise or improve your space, DKD also have their own building team who can assess, quote and complete the preparation work in readiness for your new kitchen. Mary says: “Take the first step in creating your dream kitchen by calling into our showroom, or telephone us to book one of our designers for a free survey. They will then add life and inspiration to your ideas by creating a 3D walkthrough, assisting you in choosing colours, style and layout. “We will work out cost options for your new kitchen, and can work within any budget, whilst giving the very best quality and finish. You are sure to be inspired by our showroom and delighted with the prices.” @SixerRMC

Another satisfied customer: Helen Little, Derbyshire “Designer Kitchen Direct are simply the best. We are so grateful for the time and care they took over our design, which resulted in an absolutely stunning kitchen. They are so imaginative and practical too. It was the best design we had seen, by far. “Our kitchen is truly unique, superb quality throughout, and the price was very fair and reasonable and came well within our budget. We will never go anywhere else for our kitchens and bedrooms in the future. “A huge thanks to all at DKD.”

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS ‘I CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE WITH THE HELP OF G&M HEALTHCARE’, SAYS KERRY HARRIS WHO SHED AN AMAZING SEVEN STONE WITH THEIR HELP. f you had told me at the beginning of the year that 2016 would be the year I lost weight, I wouldn't have believed you.” Kerry Harris had struggled with body and self-confidence issues for many years, often yo-yo dieting and attempting to lose weight but always going back to old habits. But when the strains of carrying the extra weight began to affect her family life, it became impossible to ignore. “Before I started Alevere, I hated my body. My weight was beginning to affect my confidence and was making me feel very unhappy in all aspects of my life. I stopped doing activities I loved, spending time with my children and avoided situations where I felt my weight would be judged.” Stepping on the scales left Kerry feeling low, but it also gave her the determination she needed to tackle her weight problem head on. “I hadn’t weighed myself for years. I imagined I would weigh about 13-14 stone, so when the scales told me I was 17st 6.5lbs I couldn’t believe it. “I had seen advertisements for G&M Healthcare with Alevere and decided I was going to give it a try. I was so sceptical to begin with, since I had always been trying to lose weight - I remembered how exhausting it was trying to find the perfect diet plan or weight loss ‘trick’.” Combining high quality, flavoursome foods and state of the art ultrasound technology, it was the maintenance stage of the Alevere programme that Kerry found most difficult. But, under strict medial supervision, she soon realised how important it was to enabling her to manage her weight long term. “The fast rate of weight loss kept me motivated and the therapy sessions gave me the support I needed to stay on track and help me understand more about my relationship with food.” So far, Kerry has lost over seven stone and uses her own weight loss as a tool to spur herself on. “As the weight came off, I could not believe how good I felt and how different I looked. I lost almost seven stone in 21 weeks and I feel amazing. “Seeing the weight come off gave me

encouragement to keep going and I now feel that I know how to eat properly. The plan has taught me to think about what I am putting into my body.” Like everyone, Kerry has hit the occasional rut but she says she tries to combat it by switching up her workout routine. "My weight is no longer ruling my life. Before, I let the weight define me and my boundaries. Now, I don't. I make the rules. "I've learned to be patient about the rest of the weight loss," and she reminds others to do the same. "Instead of always being down on yourself for how much more you have to go, look back at all you've already done." Kerry is such a convert to the goals and outcomes of the programme that she has now joined G & M Healthcare as a weight loss therapist, helping to motivate others along their weight loss journeys. @SixerRMC

“All the staff at the clinic were very caring and professional and I wanted to give something back to the programme. It has really helped me and I’m so grateful. “It’s great to see others achieving their goals.” G&M Healthcare is a GP-led clinic in Broomhill, Sheffield. The experts at G&M Healthcare are dedicated to helping people look their best and, with a series of complementary cosmetic treatments on offer, alongside Alevere, clients are truly spoilt for choice.

Seeing is believing TAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE OF YOUR EYESIGHT WITH THE HELP OF PREMIER EYECARE’S EXPERT TEAM. ight is a precious gift that many of us take for granted. Looking after your eyes is extremely important, but many of us are guilty of not giving them the attention they deserve, wandering around squinting or with blurred vision. If that is you then now is the time to start looking after your eyesight, with Premier Eye Care. Getting your eyes tested regularly is essential. For adults, reading problems are common and check-ups are recommended at least every two years. Undetected vision problems are one of the main reasons children can be misdiagnosed with learning difficulties, which is why Premier Eye Care starts testing from the age of four. Free check-ups are available to all those under 16 years of age and up to 19 if in full-time education. At Premier Eye Care the latest techniques

and technologies for eye examinations are used, including the revolutionary icare ‘no puff of air’ glaucoma check for patients’ comfort – now available at all practices. In addition to standard eye tests, Premier Eye Care also offers VDU (Visual Display Unit) tests for those who work with computers for a prolonged period of time. They are also registered to screen for diabetes using a digital camera. Spectacles are now in vogue and long gone are the days of dreary nondescript frames. At Premier Eye Care you can choose from opulent or subtle, classic or fashionable frames from the likes of Hugo Boss, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Prada, Armani, Versace and Ray-Ban, to name a few. With a large selection of children’s frames – from good quality, free NHS frames to designers like Ray-Ban Kids – there is something to suit the whole family. There is a range of frames to suit all budgets, starting from just £10. Complete price spectacles start from £49, with designer spectacles by Morgan and Bench at just £99.95 and Armani and Ray-Ban from £149.95 – this includes basic single vision lenses. Prescription and fashion sunglasses are also available. And it’s not just frames on offer at Premier Eye Care. You’ll also find high-quality lenses from renowned market-leading @SixerRMC

manufacturers, including Nikon, Zeiss, Hoya and Essilor, to give that all-important combination of quality and comfort. As an independent business, Premier Eye Care has complete freedom to hand-pick the very best available frames and lenses, as well as being able to tailor their products and services to meet a specific patients’ needs. This autonomy also means they are able to offer flexible payment options. So whether you select long-term, monthly, daily or fashion contact lenses, you can choose a payment plan most suited to you – be it direct debit or spreading the cost with instalments. The centre has also recently invested in a 3D OCT-1 Maestro optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine. This scans the back of the eye and is a very important tool when it comes to detecting disease and degeneration. Checking your eye health has never been so quick and easy. Seeing really is believing so if you’re ready to start taking care of your eye sight, Premier Eye Care is the place to go.

VALENTINE’S DAY

The food of love

IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS YOUR OTHER HALF THIS VALENTINE’S DAY, A HOMECOOKED MEAL COULD WIN YOU SERIOUS BROWNIE POINTS, WRITES HANNAH SANDERS. HERE’S HER TOP TIPS FOR A HASSLE-FREE NIGHT. veryone knows that the quickest way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, if you are not going down the restaurant route there’s that worrying question of what to cook your significant other for arguably the most romantic day of the year. Valentine’s Day is celebrated around the world on 14 February in memory of St Valentine. Valentine or Valentinus was imprisoned for his religion and during his time in jail he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter when she came to him for lessons. When it was time for his sentence to be carried out he sent her a letter, signing it “from your Valentine”. Now the idea behind Valentine’s Day is to celebrate affection, love and devotion. Over the years certain foods have been labelled as the “food of love”, such as oysters, mussels, figs and, of course, chocolate. If your partner has a sweet tooth then incorporating chocolate into your Valentines meal is the way to go. Chocolate is a food that has always

Oysters are a wellknown aphrodisiac

@SixerRMC


VALENTINE’S DAY

“The idea of you meeting in the middle while eating a strand of spaghetti and gazing into each other’s eyes makes some people weak at the knees.” been associated with love as it increases the blood flow, elevates mood and acts as an energy booster. Recipes such as a chocolate-rubbed steak with cocoa sweet potato fries (www.tablematters.com) or Nigella’s chocolate chip chilli (www.bakedbree.com) would be a simple yet effective way of showing off your romantic side. However, try to avoid too many stodgy carbs on the plate or you risk falling asleep on the sofa by 9pm! If your partner has less of a sweet tooth then anything with fish or red meat is a good choice. Fish, or more specifically oysters, mussels and lobster are an aphrodisiac. They are high in zinc and have a reputation for delivering the goods when an evening of romance is on the cards. Cioppino with mussels, which is an Italian-American fish stew (www.andrewzimmern.com), is an easy yet mouth-watering main to dish up. Alternatively go with a honey-glazed salmon (www.foodpolka.com). The romantics could go for “lady and tramp” spaghetti and meatballs because what is more romantic than recreating an iconic scene from a Disney movie? The idea of you meeting in the middle while eating a strand of spaghetti and gazing into each other’s eyes makes some people weak at the knees. Jamie Oliver has a “to die for” meatball recipe (www.jamieoliver.com) which is really easy to make but will have amazing results. If you are feeling very daring you could combine the two – sweet and savoury – and cook some chocolate lobster tacos (www.foodnetwork.co.uk ) to really push out all the stops. Of course, you can’t forget the dessert as it is the most important part of the meal and what says “I love you” more than red velvet Oreo brownies (www.countryliving.com)? These delicious treats seem super easy to make and you can even cheat and use a red velvet cake mix to make your life a bit easier. If you want something a bit more traditional then you can’t go wrong with chocolate dipped strawberries – or just chocolate dipped fruit of any kind! Pair the strawberries with some marshmallows on skewers and serve with salted caramel ice cream and you’re onto a winner. To finish off your romantic meal you need a glass of something special. Fizz fans can go for Chapel Down Rose Brut, which you can grab from Sainsbury’s. If you are going down the route of a good old steak for dinner then stick to the red wine such as Pinotage. However, if neither of you are into wine then go for a chocolate beer. A Brooklyn Black Stout or a Chocolate Ale with Raspberry (Boulevard Brewing Company) are

Everyone loves chocolate...

You can’t go too wrong with a steak

Finish with a glass of fizz

decent ones to go for. The Chocolate Ale gives you a big punch of raspberry to start with but gradually mellows the longer you sit with it, definitely one for those of you who have a sweet tooth. Finally for those of you like a bit more excitement then try Hotel Chocolat’s Salted Caramel Vodka for a predinner shot to get the night off to a whopping start. In the past few years, Valentine’s Day food hasn’t changed that much. The main ingredients are the same: fish, meat and @SixerRMC

chocolate and even in the 1800s people were advised to eat chocolate to calm their pining for lost love. As long as you stick to the basics and there’s some good alcohol you really can’t go wrong. So if you want a romance filled evening with your partner then steer towards the chocolate and fish and stay away from anything messy like a burrito – but if you are determined to go for the finger food then please, don’t wear a white shirt, it’s a disaster waiting to happen!

PROMOTION

Peace of mind for the future EXCELLENT VALUE FUNERAL PLANS FROM YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT FUNERAL DIRECTOR. n increasing number of people are deciding to make their own funeral plans. This ensures not only that their wishes are respected, but it can also reduce some of the anxiety that their loved ones will feel at the time of loss. If you take out a Funeral Plan with Peace Funerals, you pay at today’s prices for your funeral in the future. This will guarantee that, no matter what happens to inflation, all the funeral director’s costs will be covered in full at the time of the funeral. Increases in other costs that are paid on your behalf by your funeral director called disbursements (such as crematorium, or cemetery fees, doctor’s fees and newspaper costs), will be covered up to the level of the Consumer Price Index increases. So whether your funeral takes place in 12 months, or 30 years, there is nothing more to pay for the funeral director’s services you have chosen. When you take out a Peace Funerals Plan, the payment that you make is paid into the Ethical Funeral Plans Trust Fund. This makes your funds totally secure. So whatever happens in the future, the funds will be there to pay for your funeral at the time of need. All Funeral Plans are provided by Peace Funerals working in conjunction with the Ethical Funeral Plans Trust. Peace Funerals are previous winners of the ‘Best Funeral

A

72 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

Directors in the UK Award’. The Ethical Funeral Plans Trust is the only Funeral Planning Trust committed to investing your plan funds ethically. If you would like to pre-pay for your Funeral Plan by lump sum, you can pay by cheque, BACS transfer, or by card. Or if you prefer, you can pay by monthly instalments over any period from 12 months to five years. If you choose to pay over 12 months, there is no interest payable. Thereafter, interest is payable at the rate of six per cent per annum compound. Everyone has different needs, so Peace Funerals have put together four different packages (each of which can be modified) so you can choose which fits you best: Direct Funeral Plan from £1,988* (cremation) or £2600* (woodland burial)

The ultimate in simplicity. This funeral plan is for people who do not want anyone to attend their funeral. Includes a coffin suitable for cremation or burial, transport of the coffin to the place of cremation or burial and doctors’ fees. Simple Cremation Plan from £2,479*

Podium place for Stannington Brass Band

BITS &S PIECE

Stannington Brass Band has beaten 22 other bands to scoop second place at the Butlin’s Mineworkers Brass Band Championships. All 24 bands, from all over the country, played the same test piece “Fantasy for Brass Band” by Malcolm Arnold and were scrutinised by two adjudicators, Derek Southcott and Mark Wilkinson. The result follows a string of successes for the band in 2016 when it won five contests including the Yorkshire Area and the National Second Section Finals. Derek Renshaw, musical director, said: “Once again the band demonstrated the progress we are making together. For me personally, it was our best performance to date, with such precision playing, musicality and maturity. To say I was delighted with the bands performance is a huge understatement!” The band’s next challenge will be the Yorkshire Brass Band Championships in March.

Gold medallist Karen launches UK headquarters of new fitness concept

Malin Bridge Inn raises £900 for Amy’s House. The money will be spent on a new fibre optic curtain for Amy’s House’s sensory room. Amy’s House is a facility for families with children, from 5-18 years old, who have additional, and sometimes, life limiting illnesses. Based at Ballifield Primary School and The Stables, Handsworth, the charity is run by volunteers and relies on donations to continue to provide their services. In a letter of thanks to Jill MarstonRevitt at the Malin Bridge Inn, Amy’s House manager Jayne Hurditch said: “Small charities like ourselves rely on the generosity of people like you to keep us going. We don't have any paid fundraisers at all, it is all done by volunteers.” For more information on Amy’s House, visit www.amyshouse.org.uk.

Paralympian cyclist and gold medallist Karen Darke MBE has cut the ribbon on the UK’s first fit20 studio at Fox Valley in north Sheffield. The Fox Valley studio houses the UK headquarters of fit20 and the company has exciting plans to grow the fitness brand, which started six years ago in the Netherlands. Karen officially opened the new studio at an open afternoon showcasing the new fitness concept. Originally from Halifax, she took gold in the women's time trial at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Based on a wealth of research and experience, fit20 offer unique 20 minute work-outs aimed at people who find the gym can be too time consuming, impersonal or just too much hassle. Sessions are taken one-to-one with a personal trainer using the latest technology to track results and progress. fit20 can be found on the first floor of Harry Brearley House at Fox Valley in the company’s brand new offices and fitness suite just above Timbuktu and Martyn Kemp Opticians. For more information about Fox Valley, visit www.foxvalleysheffield.co.uk and to Karen Darke the find out more about fit20 go to fit20 team www.fit20.co.uk.

her resolution to try something new. Isla, fundraising team manager said: “January is the time for change, where we make New Year’s resolutions, often to promote a healthier lifestyle by eating better or doing more exercise. “This year, the fundraising team are going to be raising money alongside our resolutions because we know first-hand how much of a difference every single penny can make for patients and families being treated by the NHS in Sheffield. “It would be great to see people joining us in our challenges and supporting local patients.” For more information about Sheffield Hospitals Charity’s fundraising events, visit www.sheffieldhospitalscharity.org.uk/fundrais e.

Welcome To My Office – Views from the roofs Simon Slater of Slater’s Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. In our December issue, he was admiring the view in a very different part of the world. We asked you to tell us where in the world you thought he was for the chance to win a Christmas hamper. All correct answers were put into a prize draw and a winner was chosen at random. Congratulations to Ann Benn from Stannington, who correctly guessed where Simon was – Giotto's bell tower in Florence, Italy. Here she is (top) happily accepting her prize. Simon and the team would also like to take this chance to say a big thank you to all their loyal customers. Here’s Tom Slater (left) with their oldest customer, who is an impressive 106-years-old. Simon will be back with new snaps from the S6 rooftops next month. To see more photos from Simon, follow him at @SlatersAerials or Sixer at @SixerRMC on Twitter. @SixerRMC

Humpback whales at Hervery Bay

A whale of a time ADAM KAY HEADS DOWN UNDER IN SEARCH OF QUEENSLAND’S MOST AMAZING SIGHTS – AND SOME OF ITS BIGGEST VISITORS… t’s the source of countless jokes and internet memes. ‘Australia: where everything wants to kill you.’ The apparent deadliness of the land down under has become such a cliché that we’re more likely to shrug it off than pay it proper attention. So it felt as if the universe was trying to prove a point when, on my first full day in the country, I was stung by a poisonous jellyfish. I’m fine, obviously – this article hasn’t been dictated via ouija board from beyond the grave – although I do feel a bit daft for not taking those ‘jokes’ more seriously. At the moment I was stung by that jellyfish, however, I was snorkelling off the coast of a private island on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Golden sunlight poured down on me from above, falling to the ocean floor in bright straight beams, illuminating a kaleidoscope of coral and ocean wildlife. On

balance, I think it was worth the risk. Australia is a land of diverse charm and beauty – and nowhere is this more evident than in Queensland, the country’s secondlargest state. Our trip took in bustling Brisbane, the state capital; the Capricorn Coast, named after the Tropic of Capricorn and with the climate to match; the Bundaberg region with its quaint coastal resorts; and the natural wonders of the Fraser Coast. Each was full of highlights, varied and plentiful – but some things were common to them all. Firstly: good ol’ Aussie hospitality. Wherever we went, we were greeted by beaming smiles and laidback attitudes. (The clichés are true; Aussies really do say “No worries” a lot.) This was the case in busy cities as well as quiet seaside towns: throughout Brisbane, from the Gallery of Modern Art to the South Bank Parklands (both highly recommended), we met strangers who made us feel like old friends.

Second: the weather. Queensland does experience occasional heavy rainfall (more about that later), but for the most part it’s blue skies and high temperatures all year round. In Yeppoon, the sunrises and sunsets made the endless beach glow purple and pink. Our coach driver, a local, told us he’d never seen snow. Reader, I envied him. Thirdly, the food. Aussies love their tucker. Queensland is big on local produce: macadamia nuts, native to the region, feature on every menu; in the town of Bundaberg, famed for its sugar mills and rum distillery, the air smells of thick molasses. The local delicacy of the Brisbane region is the Moreton Bay bug, a type of lobster. The delicate flavour of its sweet, white flesh is in no way diminished by the fact that it looks like the thing that burst out of John Hurt’s chest in Alien. That bug is ugly, yes, but at least it isn’t

dangerous. It might not be true that everything in Australia wants to kill you, but most things certainly could. Even the fluffiest creatures can be a threat: on one coach journey, we passed a family of kangaroos sunbathing by the roadside – a common sight, our driver said. Very cute – but one swift kick from their hind legs and you’d be pushing up the daisies faster than you could say “Strewth!” The deadliest of all Queensland’s inhabitants, at least in theory, is the humpback whale. Up to 52ft in length with an average weight of 36,000kg, these marine mammals could squish a human without even realising it. But humpbacks are gentle giants, prone to playful displays and hugely popular with tourists. Hervey Bay touts itself as ‘the whalewatching capital of the world’ – unique amongst similar sites around the globe because whales use it as a stopping-off point, rather than somewhere they simply pass through. Expert locals operate boat trips which take visitors right alongside the whales as they play, slapping their enormous fins and leaping dramatically from the waves. There’s currently an application in progress for Hervey Bay to become an internationallyrecognised ‘Whale Heritage Site’. Here’s hoping it gets approved, because this is a

orange-and-white clownfish, and followed a ray as it glided effortlessly along the seabed. A green sea turtle passed right in front of me, close enough to touch, on its way to the surface for air. I was in undersea heaven. Unspoiled beauty abounds in Queensland. On Fraser Island, a short ferry ride out from Hervey Bay and the largest sand island in the world, the sheer number of natural wonders is overwhelming. Our drive (a guided tour by four-wheel drive; ‘normal’ cars aren’t permitted) took in Lake McKenzie, with its white silica beach; Eli Creek, warm and shallow enough to wade along; 75-Mile Beach (bet you can’t guess why it’s called that); and the coloured cliffs at the Pinnacles. Central Station, a forest filled with lush ferns and trees that stretch to the sky, is positively Jurassic. If a T-Rex had wandered into view, I wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. And what of the place I was describing earlier, where I got stung by the poisonous jellyfish? That’s Pumpkin Island, off the coast of Keppel Bay, and though I’d hesitate to call anywhere ‘paradise’, this comes mighty close. Owner Wayne Rumble was gifted the island by his father for his 27th birthday. (I got some boxer shorts for mine, so it’s one-nil to Wayne on that.) He and his wife Laureth live there, on this tranquil dot in the South Pacific, and the public can share a taste of

Details: Adam Kay travelled to the Fraser Coast (www.visitfrasercoast.com), Capricorn region (www.capricornholidays.com.au) and Bundaberg (www.budabergregion.org) in Queensland with Tourism and Events Queensland (www.queensland.com). Pumpkin Island (www.pumpkinisland.com.au), located on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, offers island accommodation in selfcatered cottages from £187 per night for two adults. Lady Musgrave Experience (www.ladymusgraveexperience.com.au) run day tours to Lady Musgrave Island from £123 per person on a luxury catamaran. Hervey Bay Whale Watch (www.herveybaywhalewatch.com.au) and Blue Dolphin Marine Tours (www.bluedolphintours.com.au) operate Humpback whale watching day trips out of Hervey Bay from approx. £63 and £90 per adult. Fraser Experience Tours (www.fraserexperience.com) specialise in providing one day, two day and custom guided tours of World Heritage listed Fraser Island in luxury 4WD Hummers. A one day Hummer Experience Tour costs £160 per person and includes all meals and beverages, national park fees and transfers, and an experienced guide for a maximum of four people.

spectacle which deserves to be protected and promoted. Also worth protecting: the Great Barrier Reef. We’ve all seen the David Attenborough programmes: it’s stunning, even on screen. But spend an afternoon snorkelling beside it, over it, through it, and you realise why it really is one of nature’s true miracles. The waters around Lady Musgrave Island are a particularly beautiful part of the reef. The route out to the island is notoriously choppy, and our boat ride came the day after the area’s worst storm in years. Put it this way: next time I’ll take a helicopter. But the remarkable sights made every wretch and heave worthwhile. I saw coral of every type and hue. I watched shoals of

their charmed life through the island’s seven holiday cottages. We spent a lazy afternoon sunbathing and paddle-boarding (I only fell in once), watched the sun go down over cocktails at the beach bar, then cooked a barbecue late into the night. The next morning, after a walk round the island (we dawdled and took an hour; you could easily do it in ten minutes), Laureth gave us an impromptu yoga lesson, peaceful and silent but for the waves lapping gently at the shoreline. Suffice to say, I would let a thousand jellyfish sting me for a thousand days to spend one more hour on Pumpkin Island. And the same applies for Queensland – the glistening jewel in Australia’s crown. @SixerRMC
