Autohaus Dolby can service everything from VW campervans to modern hybrid cars

Enjoy a drink while you wait

Positive vibes

TAKING GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, NEWLY-EXTENDED AUTOHAUS DOLBY IS PERFECTLY PLACED TO SERVICE YOUR VOLKSWAGEN GROUP VEHICLE. ou may choose a car based on your lifestyle, or perhaps you trust a particular make or model. But it is just as important to find a garage that fully understands and uses the correct equipment for your vehicle. If you drive a Volkswagen, Audi, Seat or Skoda, help is at hand. Autohaus Dolby only work on Volkswagen group cars and vans and provide the sort of brand-specific knowledge you’d expect from a franchised dealer, only at independent prices. Established ten years ago by Matt Dolby, this independent business offers a comprehensive service for Volkswagen owners, tailored to their specific vehicle. The staff at Autohaus Dolby have specialist knowledge of the brand and pride themselves on their friendly and approachable service. “Out of everything we do, our major service with comprehensive service checklist is the most popular and helpful thing we

Y

The newly-extended premises 8 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

offer our customers and it’s testament to what Autohaus Dolby is all about,” says Matt. “Customer service and creating more positive and personal relationships with our customers is just as important to us. They’re not isolated from the person who works on their vehicle so they can really get a good understanding of what goes into keeping it in great shape.” The garage, based within easy reach of Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley at Century Street Industrial Estate, has a cosy office where you can help yourself to a coffee and talk to a member of their team. The garage also recently had an extension and can now cater for even more vehicles. Autohaus Dolby uses Volkswagen’s own service schedule, original equipment parts and specialised equipment to deal with any VW group model. Working alongside Aran Haigh and Al Crookes, whose knowledge of such vehicles is second to none, Matt and the team

aim to provide a service to exceed all expectations. “We’re a small, friendly business and we make every effort to be easy to deal with. We do a proper job, offer a more personal service than the dealer and we are considerably cheaper,” adds Matt. “Even the tools we use are specially designed for Volkswagen group vehicles. All modern cars need modern equipment and we are always up to date in that department.” Matt and his team are happy to repair or service everything from old split screen VW campervans, to the latest car models, but they are also moving with the trends of tomorrow too. The team are now taking on turbo-diesel and hybrid vehicles. A fast charging service is available for all Autohaus customers. A minor service starts from £99 and a major service is from £169 including VAT, parts and labour and timing belt and water pump changes, with all genuine Volkswagen parts at £346 for the vast majority of vehicles. Another thing that makes Autohaus stand out from the crowd, is the option to drive away in a free Volkswagen courtesy car, so that you can continue your day as normal.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

ere’s a scene depicting heavy industry in a deeply rural setting. Those rolling hills and trees look very familiar... can you pinpoint where and when the photograph was taken? Once again, many thanks to Barry Couldwell for another fantastic picture. Last month’s snowy scene was a proper white-out but there were still sufficient clues to make identification possible. Those hard-working gents in the foreground were cutting snow on Uppergate Road, Stannington in the 1920s. The war memorial in the background might well have been the giveaway.

From humble beginnings...Bumfords through the years

Golden anniversary BUMFORD HEATING LIMITED – CELEBRATING 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS. t was a year that changed history: 1968 was a year of seismic social and political change across the globe, from the burgeoning anti-Vietnam war and civil rights movements in the United States, protests and revolutions in Europe and the first comprehensive coverage of war and resultant famine in Africa. The world would never be the same again. It was also the year that a plumber from Sheffield decided to make a go of it himself. And so Bumford Heating was born. Chris Bumford started the business, along with his wife Beryl, from humble beginnings in their spare bedroom in Wincobank. He installed his first boiler that same year, and never looked back. In 1978, Bumfords had outgrown the Hemingfield site and moved to larger premises on Millhouses Street, Hoyland. The company is now based at Shortwood Court, Hoyland, where it has remained since 2008 and houses a modern office and warehouse. Now run by Chris’ son Neil, the new premises have enabled the company to expand further and include a state-of-the-art heating showroom. Though Chris has stepped down as manager, he still has some involvement in the family business. Much has changed since 1968, but the Bumfords ethos remains very much the same. “We are incredibly proud of this milestone – many businesses don’t make it past the first few months,” says Neil. “It can be difficult to know which heating company to trust. I think the reason Bumfords is still here is that we value honesty and integrity, and we get the job done at a fair price. And now with over

50 years of recommendations under our belt, people see us as a trustworthy family firm.” Although Neil and his team are proud of their past achievements, they are looking firmly to the future. Technology has come a long way in the last 50 years and their new showroom features the latest innovations in the heating, smart controls and connected home automation sectors. Working with the leading manufacturers, Bumfords have created a unique showroom focusing on technological advancements designed to complement your lifestyle, increase your comfort levels and save money on your energy bills. Because the showroom is a working showroom, you can experience the great products on display and get hands-on with some of the high-tech home solutions. All the products are real and work, which means that you get to see and test these products in a fully operational environment. Home professional experts will also be on hand to guide you through their technology, @SixerRMC

in a friendly and relaxed environment, and can help tailor a bespoke solution designed just for your home. Neil and his team offer a host of plumbing and heating services to homes and businesses throughout Sheffield and South Yorkshire including installation, service and repair. They also offer underfloor heating, solar hot water systems, bathrooms, electricals, lighting and drainage. Bumfords is always expanding and the team are also looking forward to launching an online quotation service soon. The service makes life easier for customers wanting a quick estimate – whether they are wanting a boiler repair or completely new underfloor heating installed in their home.

WEDDINGS

When romance comes alive... IT’S THE MOST MAGICAL TIME – AND PERFECT FOR CELEBRATING YOUR BIG DAY. HANNAH SANDERS LOOKS AT HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WINTER WEDDING ONE TO REMEMBER. lthough many couples choose to say ‘I do’ in the spring and summer months, there is something utterly magical about a winter wedding. Often described as the most romantic season, winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with shimmering snowflakes (if you’re lucky!), champagne-hues and twinkling lights adorning the mantles, not to mention a beautiful backdrop for memorable photography. So, if you’ve always wanted to have a winter wonderland fairytale wedding, here are some ideas to help you embrace the cold and create the perfect day.

A


WEDDINGS

Colour schemes Avoid the classic red and greens and opt for a silver, white and baby blue theme. Why not decorate in rich, warm tones of berry red, burgundy or gold or add extra wintery romance with lots of natural greenery. Textures are also important in the colder months, so consider using velvets or satins.

CAKE Winter wedding cakes are not only about style and sophistication, but there needs to be an element of warmth and comfort, and of course it goes without saying that it should be a showstopper. If you want to add a rustic touch, choose the popular ‘naked cakes’ and decorate with berries, pine cones and greenery. You could even tie some cinnamon around the bottom layer to give it that festive scent. Add a boho element with a natural colour palette and charming deer decorations – don’t forget to add that bit of sparkle with a dusting of gold glitter. If you are wanting to go for simplicity, opt for a three-tier cake decorated in ivy icing, add a Mr & Mrs topper to the top in your colour scheme and create a waterfall of seasonal blooms down the side.

Bride & Groom wear There’s a lot to consider when planning any wedding, but winter weddings come with their own unique challenges and considerations – especially the temperature. Staying warm is essential as nobody likes to see red noses or blue hands so picking the right accessories to keep you cosy is key. For the bride, the most obvious option to add some extra warmth to your outfit is sleeves. Full length, three-quarter or short sleeves add that bit of coverage to keep the chills away. Alternatively, pair your dress with faux fur throws, shawls or brightly glittering cardigans to add some sparkle to your day. When it comes to the groom’s attire, it is still important for him to look elegant while of course keeping warm. Plaid shirts paired with bow ties are stylish and simple, and for those outside photographs add a woollen jumper. If you want to opt for something a little smarter, have a tweed or velvet suit. Don’t forget footwear either. Boots for both parties can be a tasteful (and practical) shoe option for winter weddings.

Venue The venue is one of the most important aspects of your big day, so it’s key to take your time and choose the place that is right for you both. Unless you want to provide your guests with parkas and furry mittens, getting married in the winter months means an indoor wedding. If you are settled on a true winter wonderland, visit castles and stately homes, which will be an ideal setting for an unforgettable wedding. If you want something more traditional, choose your local church for the ceremony followed by a reception at a favourite hotel or, if you are set on an outdoor wedding perhaps in a barn, make sure it is well insulated and be prepared to have lots of heaters. If you’re opting for a registry office make sure you know where you are going for photographs, and if this is outside then supply your guests with brollies, scarves, hats, gloves and even blankets.

Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Don’t forget to keep your wedding party warm too, with cover-ups for the bridesmaids and scarves for the groomsmen. For the dresses, go for a charcoal grey, burgundy red or if you are feeling festive opt for sequin or glitter dresses. Keep it simple with the groomsmen by choosing a white shirt and pairing it with a coloured tie.

WINTER WEDDING TIPS: • If possible have just one venue • Allow extra travel time • Have a coat check at the reception • Keep guests warm by supplying blankets and hand-warmers

• Bring umbrellas in case of rain • Have wellies on standby • Make sure you adjust your photography schedule as it gets darker earlier in winter @SixerRMC

Favours Give out small packages of chocolatecovered cranberries, roasted chestnuts or salted caramel toffee. You could even create mini hot chocolate mixes, soy candles or bake gingerbread cookies.

Décor Decorations set the tone for the entire day, so you need to be sure that you love the décor at both the ceremony and reception. Make use of pine cones by turning them into a placecard holder, garland or add some gold spray and use them as part of a table centrepiece or try spray-painted wine bottles paired with pillar candles to create a cosy, inexpensive wedding look. Another great way to add some colour to your venue is through chair decorations. Use brightly coloured ribbon to add bows to the chairs, create dainty wreaths or even glitter cut outs of simple stars to add a touch of elegance. Keep your guests toasty with a hot beverage bar, where they can help themselves to hot chocolate, mulled wine or hot apple cider. Decorate your drink station with DIY signs and simple foliage.

Say ‘I do’ at Fox Valley NEW NORTH SHEFFIELD WEDDING VENUE IS UNVEILED. here is now a brand new place to say “I do” as north Sheffield’s awardwinning Fox Valley has been licensed by the local authority to hold wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships. A wedding service or civil partnership can take place in the beautiful new bandstand at Fox Valley, which overlooks the fountain area, or indoors at Ponti’s Italian Kitchen and Blakes Tearoom at Sandersons Department Store. Fox Valley is owned and managed by Dransfield Properties. Operations director Medi Parry-Williams said: “Having a shopping centre licenced for weddings may sound a little bit unusual, but Fox Valley is not a typical shopping centre. “We pride ourselves on being very much part of the community and offering the opportunity for people to have their wedding ceremony here is something we are really excited about – the nearest register office is around ten miles away. “As soon as the beautiful new bandstand was installed, we could see what a great venue the centre would make for a wedding. The response so far has been great and we

T

can’t wait to host our first Fox Valley wedding.” Ponti’s Italian Kitchen and Blakes Tea Room have private function rooms with a capacity of 70 guests, while Ponti’s is also offering an evening reception package for 120 guests in the upstairs private dining area. Each wedding package can be tailored to suit couples’ needs and budgets, and weddings will be available on weekdays and weekends. Retailers across Fox Valley are also offering wedding guest discounts including Hummingbird Bridal Studios, new to the centre. Sandersons Department Store will offer a special discount on the store’s Wedding Gift service as well as a wrap and deliver service. Other retailers involved include Polished Nails and Beauty and Fleur de Lys Florists inside Sandersons, and Sorelle Jewellery in the Independent Quarter.

HEROES

Rallying for support ROUNDABOUT ARE RAISING VITAL FUNDS BY HOSTING A RACE TO MONTE CARLO. RACHEL MARTIN LOOKS AT THE VITAL WORK THE SHEFFIELD CHARITY DO. oundabout, Sheffield’s youth housing charity, provides shelter, support and life skills to over 150 young people in Sheffield everyday who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. They provide emergency hostel Matt Cockayne accommodation, a range of medium term accommodation in safe bedsits and in shared housing throughout the city, and can support young people living independently in their own accommodation, who might otherwise struggle to do so. Roundabout is committed to preventing young people from becoming homeless and believes home is the best place to be, if it is safe to be there. But by far the most common risk to a young person is problems with family, which often leads to feeling they need to leave home. Roundabout’s homeless prevention service offers family mediation and advice for young people at risk of homelessness, and their peer education project trains young people who have experienced homelessness to go into schools and increase awareness and understanding – positively impacting on pupils, preventing youth homelessness and empowering the peer educators, who become more confident and gain a BTEC

qualification, thus assisting them on the path to self-sufficiency. Earlier in February, the charity, which turned 40 last year, launched a city-wide fundraising event, Pulp’s Nick Banks Bangers & Cash – the UK’s first art road show banger rally. The rally is aimed at local businesses and Roundabout is looking for 40 to sponsor an old banger and take part. Teams of three intrepid adventurers from each business will then travel the 1,219 miles from Sheffield to Monte Carlo, each with a unique design painted on the bonnet by a local artist, which will be returned to Sheffield to be auctioned

as unique pieces of art to raise vital funds for Roundabout. If you’re a local business and wish to learn more about Bangers and Cash, contact Clare Collingworth on 0114 253 6753 or by emailing ccollingworth@roundaboutltd.org If you’d like to find out how you can make a difference to Sheffield’s most vulnerable young people, call 0114 253 6753 or email fundraising@roundaboutltd.org. You can also follow Roundabout on Facebook and Twitter. If you find you don’t have a safe place to stay, contact the Roundabout Hostel on 0114 258 9829 or Roundabout’s Homeless Prevention Service on 0114 272 8424.

WE’RE ON THE HUNT FOR HEROES Never mind Superman or Wonder Woman... Sixer is on the look-out for some real life local heroes. We know there are lots of people out there who dedicate a huge part of their lives to making the world a better place for others.

HEROES

The hostel

Shauna and Cheryl, Roundabout’s mediation worker

Shauna’s story: hen Shauna was just nine years old, her mum passed away and the grief put a huge strain on her family and relationships with her dad and brother. A few years later, when Shauna was 12, her grandmother passed away, and this meant the already strained relationships began to get worse. As Shauna grew further apart from her dad, she stayed at her aunt’s house, to escape the tension in the household, and when she turned 16, she finished school and started studying hairdressing at college. By this time, her relationship with her dad had reached breaking point and she moved out of the family home to live with her boyfriend. But unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last, and Shauna had no choice but to move back in with her father months later. Over the following months, Shauna’s relationship with her dad began to improve. Things got easier at home and she concentrated on her college work, successfully completing her hairdressing course. Once she had finished, Shauna was keen to leave college, rather than carry on studying, however her dad insisted that if she wanted to stay living in his home, she needed to be studying. With this in mind, Shauna returned to college to study childcare, but her relationship with her dad became frayed again. The situation worsened, leading to Shauna leaving the family home at 17, and with nowhere else to go, she was referred to Roundabout. Due to her maturity, Shauna was given the opportunity to move into Number 11 – the property next door to Roundabout’s hostel, which has eight self-contained flats suitable for young people who have shown signs of

W

progressing towards independence, but still need support from a key worker. From here, Shauna moved into one of Roundabout’s resettlement properties, where she lived in a semi-supported housing setting. However, Shauna struggled with the lack of round-the-clock support, so moved back into the hostel. Once she was back in the hostel, Shauna was able to get the support she needed to feel more independent and ready to have a place of her own, and after a few months, with support from her key worker, she applied for her own flat. Knowing that this was a big step, Roundabout continued to offer Shauna support once she’d left the hostel and she was assigned a support worker from Roundabout’s supporting tenants’ team, who help young people in their own properties to maintain the tenancy and cope with independent living. Currently, Shauna and her dad are working hard to build their relationship and Shauna is attending mediation sessions. These sessions allow one or both parties to talk about their differences, helping to sort through their issues and resolve problems. “I have been accessing help from mediation in order to help my relationship with my

dad,” says Shauna. “It’s only me who sees Cheryl and she has helped me to understand my dad’s side of things. She’s also helped me to understand why I react to him the way I have been. “Since all this, our relationship has massively improved and the majority of our arguments have stopped. We can now sit and talk without arguing, and this is all thanks to mediation.” Shauna has since volunteered at Roundabout, helping Cheryl by attending events and aiming to promote the mediation work offered by Roundabout, and in addition, she has been part of the peer education team. She was trained to go into schools and deliver lessons, aiming to break down the stereotypes around homelessness and raise awareness amongst young people of what to do if they have to leave home and how to access support. Now living independently, Shauna is a qualified youth worker: “Without Roundabout, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Their help has meant that I’m now able to live independently and have the confidence to do other things, and I’m keen to use my experiences to help other young people who need support.”

JoJo’s Tot Spot JoJo’s Tot Spot was opened a year ago by local resident, Jo Maillard, who had a vision of a ‘family friendly café’ in the Hillsborough area. It was hard work getting everything together and training to be able to run a business but finally in 2017 they opened their doors to the public. The ethos of the café is to be welcoming to families in particular as there are no other cafes in the area that specialise as much for young children on their premises. The café is open to everyone and are pleased to say they have a broad spectrum of customers calling in for drinks/snacks/meals throughout the week. All food is homemade and reasonably priced and JoJo’s offer a takeaway service. Private bookings are considered for meetings, birthday parties etc. Opening times are usually 8.45am – 3/4pm depending on daily footfall.

Shoulder Pain? – don’t just live with it! The shoulder is an amazing joint! It is expected to give us fantastic range of motion yet still be strong enough to carry heavy loads, swing on bars and push heavy weights. Common Shoulder Injuries include:

• Rotator Cuff tear/ tendinitis • Bursitis • Impingement syndrome (Occurs when rotator cuff tendons are trapped as they pass through the shoulder)

What symptoms might I feel? • Pain on the top and outside of the shoulder • Pain on raising the arm to the side or above the head • Sudden pain on reaching, lifting, throwing • Loss of strength or motion

The goal for treating shoulder pain is to reduce inflammation, stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak muscles. It is important to temporarily reduce or stop activities that aggravate the shoulder.

work, shoulder mobilisations, and myofascial acupuncture is often used. The use of ice or heat at home may be advised. It is important for the patient to follow through on any shoulder/ postural exercises given to help address underlying problems.

Chiropractic will address any neck or upper back dysfunction as this can often contribute to shoulder pain. Soft tissue

Don’t shrug off shoulder pain – if it is not starting to ease within a couple of weeks then try and nip it in the bud.

Treatment strategy

If you are struggling with shoulder pain then call Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic to see if we can help you!

SUCCESS STORIES… My main motivation for coming to the first class was to reduce my back pain, improve my mobility and build my core stability. I now commit to regular classes, because I enjoy them so much, and Pilates has greatly improved my health. I was worried that I might not be able to do the movements or keep up with the rest of the class, but they’ve been brilliant. There is no pressure to keep up and you feel as though you get one-to-one tuition and it’s fun. Katie is very approachable and if you have any problems/worries, she is happy to help you and devise alternative moves for you. It’s also a very relaxed atmosphere and my back pain is greatly reduced. - Sue, 56, Stannington My main motivation for coming to the first class was to try something different to benefit my health and wellbeing, and I enjoyed it from the first visit. I have found the classes informative, interesting, relaxing, uncompetitive and fun, and I enjoy the variety of exercises and being challenged but not feeling under any pressure to compete. T The best result from coming to class is that I feel two inches taller and stretch when I go home. - Dianne, 59, Stannington

CRAFTSMAN NICK HUNTER, WHO SPECIALISES IN CARVING EXQUISITE WOODEN BIRDS. EXPLAINS HIS PASSION TO HANNAH SANDERS.

ucked away a corner of Stannington, perfectly nestled between the rolling hills, a craftsman is hard at work. Looking across Sheffield’s valleys and being greeted with breath-taking views, made even more spectacular on the day we met by the blanket of snow settling on the ground, this is where local woodcarver Nick Hunter spends his days. After studying fine art in South Africa, Nick returned to London to continue his studies before settling in Sheffield. “I had never thought about a career as a woodcarver – the cards just fell that way. I remember when I was a child, amongst posters of The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix was a photograph from National Geographic of an old man in a carving workshop. Looking back on that there must have been something

drawing me to this career.” As a talented self-taught woodcarver and skilled painter, Nick uses his many years’ experience to introduce simple and delicate beauty into people’s homes through handcarved birds. Through observing nature, Nick brings originality into each individual tiny carved bird, from the shape of the beaks to the sparkle in their eyes, and brings their personalities to life through the addition of delicate colour. For Nick, the creative process begins with researching and observing each individual species. He then spends time sketching, understanding the shape and different elements of the birds before the carving process. “Once I have the basic shape, I get a block

of jelutong wood, draw the side shape and cut it out. Next I move onto the beak which is added in as an extra piece of stronger wood and then it is time for the carving process. “I don’t sand anything, as that can sometimes deaden the effect. Once the bird is finished, I use a casein paint to add the finishing touches, and then usually place them on plinths make out of burr oak.” Whether he is carving a wren, woodpecker, kingfisher, wagtail or a starling, Nick uses a range of tools and his artistic eye to create something that captures their simplistic essence, and he makes every species hard not to admire. “It’s hard to give an exact measurement of the time it takes, as there are so many different processes. Sometimes I spend longer on the researching and drawing of a particular species before carving. “I actually really like the sound of the carving, and find it therapeutic. I worry about a lot of things in life, but running out of ideas is never one of them, and I find it satisfying when i transform the birds from a sketch into a 3D piece of artwork.” Nick enjoys creating unusual species on commission and with his experience in traditional decorative carving and his skills in hand-cut lettering, Nick can personalise each bird’s perch with dates, initials or quotes. “I’ve previously made a full sized toucan and a kestrel which were both interesting to create. I’ve also made bees which are popular, as well as snails and rabbits.” Aside from the contemporary birds, Nick also does more traditional work including decorative carving, hand-cut lettering and carving repairs. He’s previously done pieces for Chatsworth House which included an intricate snake banister and carved mouldings. “The handrails at Chatsworth were done in sections as it was such a big project. I started by carving the heads and tails before moving onto the scales. I got into a nice rhythm with

‘I feel blessed and I am incredibly grateful that I can do this. Basically, I feel I’ve been given a gift and I need to use it to the best of my ability.”

this, so it was really enjoyable and I liked imagining the Duchess going up and down the staircase, using the scales to pull her up. “I feel blessed and I am incredibly grateful that I can do this. Basically I feel I’ve been given a gift, and I need to use it to the best of my ability. I like to express myself through carving and above all, want to make sure I always enjoy it.”

...and after

James before

Achieve your goals LET G&M HEALTH CARE WITH ALEVERE TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE AND YOUR BODY.

“ I

dread to think where I would be now if I had not started the Alevere programme when I did. I was deteriorating fast as a person.” James Jayawardena’s weight loss difficulties started in April 2016 when his GP diagnosed him with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. “Something had to give as my weight had really started to creep up over the last few years, and, at 22-and-a-half stone, I was starting to become increasingly aware that if I did not do anything about it I was exposing myself to potentially irreversible and serious health implications.” James was worried that his demanding lifestyle would mean it was impossible for him to lose weight, however, as soon as he started on the Alevere programme he was convinced that the team at G&M Healthcare could help him. “My initial concerns were about being hungry, as I ate quite large portions and would often graze during the day. I worked out that I was eating 600/700 calories between meals and I was really worried; I didn’t need to be. “I was apprehensive going into the programme, but once you’re in, the staff walk you through everything, and you feel at ease straight away.” Alevere quickly taught James that losing weight is about understanding food and the effects of various ingredients in food – ensuring you don’t deprive yourself but you take a regular, balanced approach.

“I began Alevere with an open mind and the thing that I found most refreshing was that the programme was not about dieting but about making permanent adjustments to my lifestyle. “I started losing weight very quickly, it was like an overnight transformation. My clothes started to feel too big and people started to notice too, you don’t get any more motivational than that. “Losing weight does not mean giving up everything you enjoy eating. In fact, the pleasure of eating something ‘unhealthy’ is better when it becomes an occasional treat, rather than a regular and ignored part of your diet.” After three months on the programme James had lost almost seven stone, and was starting to feel much more confident again, and has since continued his weight-loss journey. “I was losing 3kg every week, so it was great to get on the scales and realise how much I had lost overall – and that made me want to carry on. I liked the routine of the programme and the big weekly weight loss was a great motivation, I became very focused. “With good planning and listening the programme is adaptable, I wouldn’t say it was easy, it took willpower, but I didn’t feel hungry and my energy levels were noticeably higher to myself and others. “Alevere isn’t a diet, because it changes your philosophy completely. It teaches you to eat normal but healthy food, and retrains you

on how you should eat. “The programme is now part of my daily life without me being obsessed with it and by what I can and can’t be eating. I have changed how I eat for good – I eat regularly and I still have what I want, but I don’t snack all the time.” James has discovered a whole new way of life, and, though he knows there is no magic wand to losing weight, he has seen that with help and support it is achievable. “Alevere has totally changed my life. People always comment that I am now a completely different person and approach things in a different way. “Grace, Sarah and all the staff, therapists and nutritionists are extremely knowledgeable and there’s always as line of communication and support available and you feel like part of a little community. “I firmly believe in Alevere and want others to see how it has worked for me. If I had one regret it would be that I did not start the programme sooner.” 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.

Next generation home hire equipment SUNBEDS NEW FLEET FOR 2018 nytime Sunbeds bring you the latest state of the art equipment with a range of luxury built-in features. With the introduction of 0.3 compliance regulations there is no additional benefits to using a salon over a home hired sunbed. A 0.3 tanning session delivers the same tanning effect as the mid-day Mediterranean summer sun without the risk of burning. You never again have to organise your day around a visit to a salon.

Tan when you want in the comfort of your home

ANYTIME BRINGS THE TREATMENT TO YOU

UVB LIGHT TREATMENT WITH PHILIPS TL01 BULBS

Psoriasis Units Do you suffer from psoriasis and struggle to access UVB treatment? Well, Anytime Sunbeds now brings the treatment to your door. They provide a light unit which can be used standing or laying down and contains Philips TL01 narrow band tubes, recommended by doctors as the number one treatment for psoriasis and is used by hospitals worldwide Anytime is the only company with psoriasis units fitted with Philips narrowband tubes in South Yorkshire available to hire.

“A customer in Wickersley was absolutely delighted when Anytime Sunbeds owner Paul Burgin delivered a home-hire UVB unit with Philips tubes to his home. “He told me he had struggled with psoriasis for years but he had been unable to undergo treatment at the hospital because he had been unable to combine a six-week programme of daily sessions with working,” said Paul. “Hiring from a local company ensures excellent service every time, as well as on-time delivery. And If anything should go wrong, such as a bulb needing to be replaced, you won’t have to wait longer than 24 hours.”

With lots of products to choose from there’s something to suit every individual need. Verticals – from £30 p/w Canopies – from £18 p/w Laydowns – from £30 p/w (minimum hire periods apply)

Holiday? Snow problem PLANNING A FAMILY GETAWAY THIS HALF-TERM? PHOEBE SEYMOUR LOOKS AT IDEAL FAMILY BREAKS, BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD. t this time of year, when the skies are grey and the temperatures are low, nothing lifts the spirits more than having a holiday to look forward to. And with half-term coming up in February, now is the perfect time to plan a family getaway. When it comes to winter holidays, we tend to fall into two camps – those who embrace the beautiful yet chilly outdoors, and those who wish to escape to much sunnier climes. With this in mind, we’ve rounded up every kind of winter holiday, from British breaks, to exotic getaways.

A

Avoriaz is a French mountain resort in the heart of the Portes du Soleil

84 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

SKIING HOLIDAYS Enjoy the seasonal snow and get the whole family active with a skiing holiday. Significantly heavy snowfall in January has meant that now is a great time to hit the resorts in the French and Austrian Alps. Avoriaz is a fantastic destination for families as it is safe, convenient and has the highest and most snow-sure slopes in the Portes du Soleil area. Childcare is also provided at the Village des Enfants in the centre of the resort. Obergurgl in Austria is another great option as it is picturesque and has easier slopes for beginners. Children from as young as three can join the Bobo Skiclub or the indoor Bobo Kindergarten. If you are looking to travel further afield, Tremblant in the French-speaking area of Canada is a purposebuilt village lined with cobbled streets and vibrantlycoloured buildings designed in the old Québec style. It is also home to a highly-rated ski school for children. Closer to home, Scotland currently has five operational resorts. Glencoe (www.glencoemountain.co.uk) has the best snow cover and is an area of outstanding beauty. Skiing lessons are available for children as young as five, while experienced skiers can enjoy the longest and the steepest ski run in Scotland. Start planning your skiing holiday at www.crystalski.co.uk.

TRAVEL

MAIN PICTURE: The volcanic mountains of Gros and Petit Piton in St Lucia INSET: Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote

Sunny winter holidays Say goodbye to your winter blues with a holiday in a much warmer part of the world. The Canary Islands are within easy reach with temperatures in the low 20s, while the Caribbean is at its hottest and driest right now. When it comes to the Canaries, Lanzarote is a good all-rounder, with plenty of family facilities in the Los Pocillos area, close to the popular Puerto del Carmen resort. Inland, Timanfaya National Park offers dramatic landscapes for an action-packed week. Over in the Caribbean, St Lucia is home to some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches, including the golden strip of Anse Chastanet, while volcanic mountains Gros and Petit Piton are perfect for hiking and picture opportunities. The Bay Gardens Beach Club Resort is family-friendly and is next to Reduit Beach. Whether you stay on the strip in South Beach, or at a child-friendly resort nearby, there are plenty of fantastic restaurants and a lively atmosphere in Miami. The Fontainebleau offers one of the most luxurious spas in town, an interactive children’s water-play area and a Kids Camp. Find your perfect winter sun holiday at www.lastminute.com.

“When it comes to the Canaries, Lanzarote is a good all-rounder, with plenty of family facilities in the Los Pocillos area, close to the popular Puerto del Carmen resort.” Great British holidays Appreciate the beaches, forests and greenery all around us, by packing up the car and taking a trip to a popular UK holiday destination. Forest Holidays (www.forestholidays.co.uk) offer luxurious cabins in ten idyllic locations including nearby Sherwood Forest, Blackwood Forest in the south and Ardgarten Argyll in Scotland. Each cabin includes a hot tub and a Forest range of activities from cycling and canoeing to Forest Holidays Ranger activities for kids. It may be too cold to paddle, but there is still plenty to do in the winter months at some of Britain’s favourite seaside towns. A Swanage, trip to one of Whitby’s (www.visitwhitby.com) museums such Dorset as the Captain Cook Museum and a hot chocolate in one of the town’s many tearooms is sure to keep the troop happy. Book a holiday cottage off one of the winding gothic streets or a short drive away in the idyllic Robin Hood’s Bay. Over in Blackpool, donkey rides may be off the table, but thrill seekers will be pleased to hear that the Blackpool Pleasure Beach (www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com) is open in February, along with Nickelodeon Land for younger children. Further down in Dorset (www.visit-dorset.com), you will find two more traditional seaside towns – Swanage and Weymouth. Wrap up warm and go fossil hunting on Chesil Beach or enjoy an indoor activity such as the Sealife Centre in Weymouth if it’s a rainy day. In Cornwall (www.visitcornwall.com) now may not be the time to sunbathe on one of St Ives white beaches, but its narrow winding streets lined with fisherman’s cottages are lovely to take a stroll down, while indoor activities feature historic houses, castles, museums and World Heritage Sites. @SixerRMC

STAYCATIONS Alternatively, why not stay home and take a few daytrips to the many amazing museums and galleries right on our doorstep? Our region has a wealth of attractions, from Yorkshire Wildlife Park (www.yorkshirewildlifepark.com) in Doncaster, to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (www.ysp.org.uk) in Leeds, which is great for walkers and art-lovers alike. York meanwhile, offers everything from a fantastic shopping experience with its famous Shamble Markets and quaint boutiques, and museums such as the Jorvik Viking Centre (www.jorvikvikingcentre.co.uk) for history buffs and York’s Chocolate Story (www.yorkschocolatestory.com) for sweet tooths. Closer to home is the Kelham Island Museum, while Weston Park and the Millennium Gallery have a mix of permanent and temporary exhibitions. Check out Discovery Day on 20, 21 or 22 February and Nature Detectives on 17 February this half-term at Weston Park (www.museums-sheffield.org.uk).

As many will be aware, Stoneface Creative don’t just create sculptures, but do a lot of work with charities, schools and community groups. They have always done this work in a voluntary, unpaid capacity because they believe that community art should be available to everyone. They are now planning to work with a wider range of community organisations making Storrs Wood more accessible to a range of people – particularly those who do not normally access community-based art. However, as a private limited company, they are finding it difficult to access funding support from grant making trusts, who could potentially support beneficial community art and environmental activities. They are therefore seeking support through their Go Fund Me appeal towards the costs of establishing a not-for-profit/charitable organisation and a project development/training plan, where they intend to learn everything from planning and effectively managing activities, to getting funding to run those activities. Stoneface love doing work with local groups, but have always done it on an ad-hoc basis. This project will enable them to develop a strong base for the delivery of charitable activities. To find out more and donate to the project, visit www.gofundme.com/help-us-create-a-community-arts-hub.

LEARN FRENCH IN 2018 Et Voila is a small private school of French, situated on Ben Lane/Dykes Hall crossroads, opposite Tesco Express – its colourful frontage is sure to catch your eye. The school is run by Christine Gloppe, who is French and has taught the language in England for a number of years. Her students want to learn French for a number of reasons. Some have properties or are holidaymakers, while others want to give their brain a good workout. Students range from absolute beginners to those who have studied French before and want a refresher course. The teaching is very thorough and all aspects are covered including writing and grammar, but the main focus is developing the ability to understand spoken French and speak it yourself. Teaching groups are small and there is a friendly atmosphere, with chatting (in French of course) encouraged over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits. To find out more, visit www.gloppe.co.uk. @SixerRMC

Gone exhibition at Cupola Gallery “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” is a phrase we all know and the Gone exhibition at Cupola Gallery on Middlewood Road will attempt to capture the essence of transient spaces. Catherine Higham is the artist behind Gone and will be exhibiting around 20 mixed media works on canvas and wood panel varying in size from 20cm to just under a metre square. “Images often are monochrome, black, white and grey or include a hint or a wash of colour,” says Karen Sherwood, director of Cupola. “Less is so often more in art work, and learning when to leave a surface alone is one of the many challenges of painting. Catherine’s images are often abstract, but occasionally hint at the shape or a structure of what was.” Catherine adds: “Ideas are expressed using a pared down, modest palette of materials and colour. I like the idea of creating raw, simple artworks in an age of information overload.” Gone will be exhibited from 10 February to 10 March, with a preview on Friday 9 February from 7.30pm onwards – All welcome. Find Cupola Gallery at 178a Middlewood Road, Sheffield, S6 1TD. Call 0114 285 2665 or visit www.cupolagallery.com to find out more. More information about Catherine Higham can be found on her website: www.cjhigham.co.uk.

Thank you! “My name is Chris and on 16 January on the corner of Wood Lane going onto Stannington Road, I had a traumatic fall resulting in me fracturing my shoulder. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to my assistance, especially the lady who took over looking after my son’s dog until my family came. I cannot thank you all enough for the consideration you gave to me and my family while we had a long wait for the emergency services to arrive.”

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? To find out, see next month’s Sixer or follow @SlatersAerials and @SixerRMC on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month. Well done to those who guessed where Simon was last month – Rippon Crescent, Hillsborough. In our December issue, we asked you to guess which European island Simon was in for a chance to win a Christmas hamper. Congratulations to Tom and Jean from Stannington, who guessed the correct answer – Mahon harbour in Menorca. We hope you enjoy your prize! @SixerRMC

PROMOTION

THE ENVIRONMENT CAN TAKE A HEAVY TOLL ON YOUR SHINY NEW CAR… MAKE SURE IT’S PROTECTED BY CHIPSAWAY AND SUPAGARD.

Keep your pride and joy gleaming ue to ever changing environmental demands, all new cars are now finished with water-based paints, and can be prone to fading and oxidation as well as other environmental hazards. To maintain that ‘new car look’, your paintwork needs protecting and Supagard is the market leader in paint protection and pollutants, such as road salt, acid rain, atmospheric fallout and UV rays, which can harm the lustre of your car's paintwork. ChipsAway Sheffield have recently been appointed official Supagard agents, and can now offer the service for both the exterior and interior of your pride and joy. A high gloss polymer sealant that bonds to your cars paint surface and protects it for a minimum of three years is applied, and prevents acid rain and atmospheric pollution from touching the paint surface, so there's no risk of your car's paint fading or oxidising and road salt can no longer cling to the smooth surface.

Supagard Paint protection

96 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

Forget about potential damage from bird droppings, oxidation or fading from the elements, too. UV rays cannot penetrate the paint sealant and most dirt and grime will simply wash off with a hose, making the chore of cleaning a simple process - once protected, there is no need to polish or wax your car again. A high gloss finish is maintained and guaranteed by Supagard, and every completed job is registered and guaranteed whilst you own the vehicle. The interior of your car is also under constant threat from dirt and grime, and interior protection against spills and staining of seats, fabric, leather, carpets, floor mats and even your dashboard - is no problem for this brilliant product. Spilled drinks have no effect, as Supagard has an invisible barrier that retains the natural texture and appearance of your interior simply call in for a demonstration. What’s more, customers who have already Supagard fabric protection
