MINUTE WORKOUT FOR LADIES WHO JUST DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HAVE THE TIME

Gym - Personal Programme to help you plan and achieve your goals Classes - Box Fit, Legs Bums & Tums, Core Stability and Circuits

"I've always struggled with my weight and never enjoyed going to the gym, I've done various fad diets and joined a number of different gyms but never actually went. I decided to join Tone House in August after reading up about it and I'm glad I did!

I actually enjoy going to Tone House. It easily fits in with my working hours and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boring. The quick 30 minute workout is great. As it's a ladies only gym it doesn't feel like other gyms, it has a friendly and calm atmosphere, the staff are lovely and keep check on your progress.

I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to get active and lose weight, in 11 weeks I've lost 2 stone 1lb and 77.5cm in total.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ema Garner

Do you remember? ereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a photograph that may well bring a sentimental tear to the eye of anyone who remembers the golden age of steam trains.

It may seem like a long-vanished era but there are many Sixer readers who will still recall the times when this image, supplied by our friend Barry Couldwell, was taken. Let us know if it jogs any memories.

Last month we showed you a photo, also provided by Barry, of hard-working men from Turners Quarry in Worrall.

This was the largest quarry in an area that was also known for ganister mining. It is said that stone from this quarry was used to build the Wicker Arches in Sheffield. The quarry closed at the start of World War Two and is now a housing development.

Attention to detail DAVID J MARTIN’S PAINSTAKING METHODS MEAN EVERY BESPOKE PIECE OF FURNITURE IS GUARANTEED TO BE UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. n these days of mass produced furniture, it’s good to know there is a well-established business dedicated to creating beautiful bespoke, handmade pieces for your kitchen, bedroom, study or lounge.

Not only does David J Martin have a stunning showroom, customers are also amazed to find their huge on-site workshop on the bottom floor, meaning everything is done in-house, enabling owner David to guarantee high quality at every stage of he process.

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

David himself is a carpenter by trade, training for years before completing a degree in the subject. He ensures his staff are trained to the highest standard, resulting in the finest quality products.

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

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

In the David J Martin showroom, a

stunning range of kitchens is on display, but the company also produces bespoke furniture for every room in the house. They cater to all styles, from traditional to modern handless kitchens, while cocktail cabinets are particularly on trend right now.

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

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

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

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

In the company’s 37 years of trading, David J Martin has built a superb reputation for

@SixerRMC

customer satisfaction. The company is highly regarded for their customer and after-sales service, ensuring that every customer is a happy one and fixing any problems with their furniture, whether that be two weeks or ten years down the line.

For more information, or to see what is on offer, call 0114 268 6718 or check out the website www.david-j-martin.co.uk.

Seeing is believing TAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE OF YOUR EYESIGHT WITH THE HELP OF PREMIER EYECAREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EXPERT TEAM. Sight is a precious gift that many of us take for granted, but many of us are guilty of not giving our eyes the attention they deserve. If that is you then now is the time to start looking after your eyesight, with Premier Eye Care.

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 checkups 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no puff of airâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; glaucoma check for patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comfort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

Seeing really is believing so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to start taking care of your eye sight, Premier Eye Care is the place to go.

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.

Paula and Ben Orrah with Polly and Logan. Seeing the twins so poorly badly affected Ben’s mental health

LIGHT AFTER THE DARKNESS BEN ORRAH SUFFERED POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AS A RESULT OF WATCHING HIS PREMATURE TWINS’ FIGHT FOR LIFE. NOW HE’S ON A MISSION TO HELP OTHER DADS. RACHEL MARTIN REPORTS. n November last year, Ben Orrah’s wife and childhood sweetheart Paula gave birth to tiny twins Polly and Logan, at just 32 weeks. Polly arrived first, weighing 3lb 9 oz. and Logan followed weighing 3lb 15 oz., meaning a long intensive care stay on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Jessop Wing.

Ben is a biomedical scientist at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and often works with the NICU as part of his job, but it still didn’t prepare him for the journey as a new parent of premature babies.

“Our first visit to see the twins was a complete shock to the system,” He says. “The noise, the beeping of the machines, the hustle and bustle of all the doctors, sisters and nurses on the unit and how many other families were there, each in a similar scenario to us.”

As the weeks went by, Polly and Logan had

I

34 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

plenty of ups and downs, but as they entered their sixth week on the unit and neared Christmas, the twins were making great progress.

“The journey from birth to getting our babies home was one of the toughest things we have ever had to do, yet we were very lucky. The staff on NICU were an amazing support to us, but the whole experience of seeing Polly and Logan so poorly had a huge impact on my mental health. On the one hand, we were the happiest people in the world, then on the other, we were constantly worried about our babies and hoped they would be ok.

“Paula was always so positive, but desperately wanted to breastfeed, which was difficult with two premature babies. For the first time I could see her struggling, and I seemed to be getting all the fun times – the @SixerRMC

cuddles and the bonding – and I felt so guilty.”

Seven weeks later, just before Christmas, Polly and Logan were discharged. But Ben had started to have flashbacks and awful nightmares.

“I’d just start sobbing uncontrollably for no apparent reason and I would black out at times and relive a particular moment in great detail over and over, before coming round and wondering what had happened to me.

“The nightmares felt so real I often woke up crying as if we were back there all over again. I felt like a fraud and a failure, and at first, I hid it from Paula. I felt if, despite everything, she was holding our family together, what kind of man was I that I was struggling.”

Ben endeavoured to research how he was feeling, hoping for some kind of answer, and

FEATURE

Sixer

WE’RE ON THE HUNT FOR HEROES came across post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) websites that outlined every symptom he was experiencing. Each website mentioned however, that it was common for mums to feel that way after an experience like theirs, but nothing about dads.

“This again made me feel like a failure.

Then I thought of all the families who were worse off than us, and it was just an awful cycle of guilt and sadness.

“Paula one morning caught me sobbing at the edge of our bed and I just opened up fully and told her everything I was feeling from that point on she was my rock.

“Then one day I blurted it out to my manager. He was really supportive and referred me to occupational health, who got me the help I needed. This was the best thing I could have done for myself, and I was diagnosed with PTSD, severe depression and anxiety.

“I was scared of how far I had slipped, but I was getting help and making changes to my day-to-day life, which made a big difference, and now the darkness has passed.

“My goal was that I wanted my family to grow up in a house of love and laughter, and I needed to be the version of me I liked again.

I needed to let go of the negative thoughts and realise that I had nothing to feel guilty about. And most of all, I needed to remember that Polly and Logan were better off with me in their lives.

“The therapy helped me get there and it also brought me and Paula even closer together, because I started to share everything with her without feeling I was burdening her. We are now at a point where we look forwards more than we do backwards.”

Polly and Logan are healthy and happy and Ben is now wanting to talk more openly about his feelings, in hopes that others don’t suffer alone.

He is hosting a rock show with his band,

Fear Lies, to raise funds for Sheffield Hospitals Charity, and to say thank you for the care he and his wife received at the Jessop Wing.

He would like to welcome anyone going through the same experiences to go along for support and advice.

“I don’t want other dads, or anyone that has felt the same way, to be ashamed of Happier family: Ben got the help he needed – now he’s urging other fathers to seek support if they need it

seeking help. I want to make sure no one living with PTSD ever feels like I did, or that they have to suffer alone.”

Having PTSD isn't a choice or a sign of weakness, and it's important to remember that you are not alone. You don’t have to talk about the trauma if you don’t want to, but the support and companionship of others is an incredibly powerful tool for healing.

Never mind Superman or Wonder Woman... 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.

We’re taking about people like John Burkhill (far right), our very own pram-pushing, wig-wearing, fundraising legend. He’s the Man with the Pram, who has dedicated his life to raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Quite rightly, John has become an instantly recognisable and widely praised local personality because of his tireless efforts to improve the lives of others. But we know there are many more inspirational characters out there whose stories deserve to be shared by a wider public.

That‘s why is launching a search for the heroes and heroines who are really making a difference in our community... and we need your help.

Do you know someone who is going that extra mile to raise funds for a good cause or make a difference in their community? Has a friend or relative overcome adversity and channelled their energies into helping others?

Please let us know... so we can share the good news in every month.

Contact managing editor Chris Wilson at chris.wilson@rmcmedia.co.uk

The gig will take place on World Prematurity Day (17 November) at Corporation, Sheffield. Tickets cost £5 and are available from www.fearlies.bandcamp.com or by emailing the band at: fearlies@hotmail.co.uk @SixerRMC

his month, we’re embracing our inner Great Gatsby with dramatic dark hues and art deco glamour.

Deep shades of purples, blues and greys are all on-trend this autumn, while metallic accessories add a touch of vintage luxury and floral patterns give a romantic twist to your décor.

A great place to start is with a statement velvet sofa or feature wall in one of these key shades. The rest of this look is all down to the accessories. And the best thing about this trend is, there’s no such thing as going over the top.

Read on for some inspiration and to find out why more is more this season.

Now in its 25th year, the popular Loxley race in which all runners receive a Christmas pud for their efforts, takes them along the picturesque Loxley Valley on the outskirts of Sheffield.

It started as a Steel City Striders event and has grown in popularity from the first race in 1993 when 600 finished, to this year when the event was sold out within three hours of going live.

Some runners will be donning their best Lycra and festive fancy dress in a bid to make new records and take home the £1,000 prize for setting a new course record, whilst others will be just happy to make it past the finish post.

Last year, Olympian Eilish McColgan a middle distance athlete, crossed the finish line in 32 minutes and 32 seconds, beating the previous course record by around 80 seconds.

Mohammed Abu-Rezeq was the first man to break the 30-minute barrier in 2016 with a time of 29 minutes and 57 seconds, and is planning to run again this year in an attempt

to beat his own record.

For those who need some encouragement to get around the course, there will be pace runners between 40 to 65 minutes to help you achieve your target time.

“Runners come from all over to take part in the Percy Pud. We have people from Liverpool and Manchester, to some from the Isle of White and London,” said race director, Richard Dunk.

“The race is great fun for all involved, a brilliant way to help raise money for important charities and it helps promote the local area. The run also gets people into the Christmas spirit.”

As it’s the 25th anniversary, participants will be given limited edition commemorative t-shirts. Runners will also get the traditional Christmas pudding when they finish the race.

The Percy Pud run raises more than @SixerRMC

£100,000 annually for charities, and this year the money raised will go to St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield along with Changing Faces. They also will be making donations to other local charities around the Sheffield City Region.

Changing Faces is a charity that began work in 1992 to help people who have a disfigurement find a way to live the live they want. They want each person they support to be living their life without anxiety or fear of being ignored, abused, harassed, restricted, rejected or ejected.

This year, the race will be run in memory of Strider Trevor Burton, who sadly died during the summer. They will be selling a

THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE – THAT’S THE PLEDGE FROM I DID IT MY WAY. Did It My Way based at the Niagara, Sheffield 6, continue to pride themselves on keeping their costs low, and they are constantly striving to provide the best service, at a price people can afford.

A funeral can be conducted with dignity, respect and love without having to spend a fortune, and their funerals are testament to this.

Their straight-to-crematorium service currently stands at £1,820 and can be attended by close family members. There is no service but this allows mourners to say goodbye in a way that best suits them.

This service will also be booked at the family’s convenience. Just because there is no service does not mean that the family’s wishes should not be honoured at a time which best suits them.

I Did It My Way’s basic service is priced from £2,310 (cremation only), with no other

I

costs to pay. A colourful coffin depicting the client’s life, or something special about them, with the hearse and a limousine, is fullyinclusive from £3,060 (cremation only). The price remains the same for a wicker coffin, which also prove to be very popular.

The pre-payment business is increasing daily; an increasing number of people are

planning ahead as death and dying are no longer regarded as taboo. Peace of mind for families at such a difficult time appears to be made much easier when their loved one has planned ahead. There are no worries with a prepaid funeral, and the price quoted now is what you will pay, regardless of the date it is needed.

Steve and the team pride themselves on the level of service they offer, they believe in acting in their clients’ best interests at all times.

BLUE FOR YOU BRADFIELD BREWERY’S SEASONAL FAVOURITE BELGIAN BLUE IS BACK… AND THAT MEANS IT’S OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS. PHOEBE SEYMOUR REPORTS ON WHAT HAS BECOME A COLOURFUL FESTIVE TRADITION. 62 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

ever mind a pint of the black stuff.

With the Christmas season well and truly upon us, ours is a pint of the blue stuff.

The Gill family have only been brewing Farmers Belgian Blue since 2006, but it seems the village of Bradfield - and beyond – couldn’t imagine Christmas without it. In fact, Bradfield Brewery sold a phenomenal 400,000 pints of the seasonal ale last year and are optimistic they will top this figure for 2017.

“There’s always a buzz about the place when we do our first brew of the year of Belgian Blue because it means Christmas is officially here,” says John Gill. “It signifies a time when all hands are on deck to meet the demands of the period. Everyone comes

N

@SixerRMC

together to work hard as a team.”

October is the busiest month for brewing at Bradfield, with an average of 100,000 pints of beer being made. At their busiest, Bradfield Brewery produced 400 barrels of beer in a week – that’s around 125,000 pints.

The process starts with the arrival of lorry loads of the beer’s closely guarded, secret ingredients from Watt House Farm. It then takes around ten days to create the first pints, with the creation of bottles of Blue taking slightly longer.

By late October, Belgian Blue is ready for launch and the first pint is pulled in the Nags Head Inn, the brewery’s own pub, just a mile away from where it is brewed. In the last couple of years, the beer has been launched at

FEATURE

a specific time, 4pm. When the chimes struck, beer lovers from near and far arrived once again for their first taste of the Christmas brew with its gorgeous berry overtones.

Watt House Farm was originally a dairy farm, but when milk prices started to plummet in the early 2000s, John and his family decided to diversify. John’s son, Richard had always been a keen homebrewer and saw a way to turn this hobby into a business. This was much to the relief of Richard’s mother Susan, who was fed up of his equipment being set up on the kitchen table – the steam had made her wallpaper peel away.

“Belgian Blue has been around since the beginning, but people don’t often realise that,” continues John.

“One of the first pubs I remember having a pint of Blue in was the Old Robin Hood at Stannington, which has been converted into housing now.”

Today, Belgian Blue travels much further than Stannington, with requests for the beer coming in from across the UK and Ireland, with one fan in Belfast requesting the blue brew for their festivities. One bottle even made it all the way to Jamaica, to celebrate Christmas in sunnier climes – just call John the Santa of the beer world.

And of course, Belgian Blue isn’t the only highlight on the ale calendar. Bradfield Brewery are the proud producers of the awardwinning Farmers Blonde.

Other beers in their permanent range include Farmers Stout and Farmers Brown Cow, which are perhaps unsurprisingly named after the breeds of cows that have graced the Gill family farm, while seasonal ales include Farmers Yellow Jersey, Farmers Poppy Ale and even our own very special Farmers Sixer pale ale.

The Gill family have certainly had their fair share of ups and downs over the years – all of which are highlighted in the book, Mine’s a Pint: The Story of Bradfield Brewery, published by RMC Media in 2016.

John and his team are now looking firmly

‘So be a silly moo, get snapping and tag Bradfield Brewery in your photos this festive season.’ forward to a bright future and are excited about the new brews and merchandise that it will bring.

This year, the brewery has launched a Belgian Blue nose hanger beermat. Featuring a playful illustration of a cow’s nose, the idea is that beer lovers hang the mat on their faces, take selfies and upload them to social

media. So be a silly moo, get snapping and tag Bradfield Brewery in your photos this festive season.

Belgian Blue is available on draft at pubs across Sheffield, in 500ml bottles and five litre mini kegs from the brewery’s on-site shop.

Also available is a great range of merchandise, clothing and gifts.

Imagine a 200 year old chapel filled with 30 Christmas trees, all lit up and decorated. A wonderful and awesome sight.

This is what has happened at Brightholmlee Methodist Church, Wharncliffe Side for the last 3 years and will once again be “lighting up” in December 2017.

All the trees are adorned with conventional decorations or done with a theme in mind. In the past we have had Lego, sunflowers, cars, teddie’s, colour themed and many more.

We are supported by local individuals, companies and organisations who give money to sponsor a tree and by the local Junior School, Brownies, Sunday School and our Minister, Katie, who decorate the trees for pure pleasure.

A new era for G&M Lunt EXPERIENCED FUNERAL DIRECTOR MARTYN JOINS OLD-ESTABLISHED FAMILY FIRM. he clocks may be going back but things are moving forward at G&M Lunt, family funeral directors for over 80 years.

Michael Lunt has announced that Martyn Askew, who is Woodseats born and bred with over 40 years in the profession, has joined the company as director of funeral services, responsible for the day to day running of the company after many years’ experience managing the John Fairest Funeral Homes.

G & M Lunt was established by George Lunt in 1932 with his wife Mabel, son Jack and daughter Mary, who joined the company as the business grew. Michael joined in 1969. In 1976 George passed away and Mary’s son Andrew joined in 1985.

Sadly Jack passed away in 1987, so Michael and Andrew ran the business together until Andrew retired. Michael carried on running the business for many years with the support of his dedicated staff.

Now time has come to hand over the reins to Martyn, a friend for over 40 years and an outstanding funeral director.

Michael Lunt will still be actively involved in the business on a day to day basis.

THERE ARE 20,000 CHRISTMAS TREES TO CHOOSE FROM AT COW GAP FARM SO YOU’RE SURE TO FIND ONE THAT’S PERFECT FOR YOUR HOME. here does the year go? It only seems five minutes since the team at Cow Gap Farm, Dungworth were shutting up their Christmas Log Cabin shop for 2016, and yet, here they are getting ready for another busy festive season, selling more gorgeous Christmas trees.

After a successful first year, they are all ready for their second opening day on Saturday 18 November 2017 and will be open every day until Christmas Eve. Customers will be able to tag up their tree for collection or delivery at a later date, or if they can’t wait, they can take it straight home for decorating. With five different varieties of trees to choose from, either cut or potted, and over 20,000 to pick from, they are confident there will be a tree for you.

Farmer David has been busy all year getting the trees to top-class condition and now its time for his son, Travis and wife, Lynne to start the sales going.

“We have the same winning formula as last year. People are able to wander around the fields choosing their tree, enjoy a delicious cake from the coffee shop and choose some decorations for your tree from the Christmas Craft Shop,” says Travis.

Children will also be entertained with a bouncy castle, games and a treasure hunt with a prize at the end. Last year, visitors even returned several times in the build up to Christmas, even though they had already bought and decorated their trees, simply because the seasonal atmosphere was not to be missed and created the perfect festive outing.

If you are looking for a great quality tree and decorations or simply somewhere for a festive outing this Christmas, there is no better place in the area than The Sheffield Christmas Tree Company at Cow Gap Farm.

Last year, Travis ran the Percy Pud race in a Christmas tree costume to raise money for the Sheffield Hospitals Charity. This year the shop is doing a prize giveaway for their customers.

En garde! Pupils take up fencing lessons After school clubs have taken on a new level for the pupils at Wharncliffe Side Primary School, with fencing having been recently added to the list.

This exciting sport has been on offer to junior pupils this term and the children have been taught basic fencing skills.

Earlier this year, two teachers at Wharncliffe Side primary school took part in the Core Coaching Programme delivered by LINKs School Partnership in association with British Fencing.

Nigel Hartley and Esther Loveday successfully completed their training and have been able to deliver a six-week fencing club to 10 enthusiastic young swashbucklers.

“At Wharncliffe Side, we aim to give children the chance to try a sport they may

never have had a go at before,” says PE subject leader Mr Hartley.

One of the children added: “I wanted to do it because I wanted to try something different. We’ve learnt skills and new tactics and every week we’ve been able to fence against each other. We get to wear proper suits and have safety swords.”

The six-week course finished with a well fought competition between the young fencers.

Gallery explores role of art and faith in promoting wellness Many people would agree that creativity offers benefits for wellbeing, but there is also a growing interest in doing less. Retreats and mindfulness courses are often promoted as a way of finding wellbeing in our hectic lives.

A forthcoming exhibition at Cupola Gallery called Amid by Shaeron Caton-Rose presents responses to residencies in two different faith based communities. This will be taking part from 21 October to 18 November with a preview evening on Friday 20 October at 7:30pm.

The exhibition is an installation comprised of numerous elements including a series of works on paper, utilising various printmaking techniques, golden leaves floating in water, suspended fabric garments and a series of boxes hiding/revealing treasures contained within.

“In 2015, I spent six weeks with the Community of the Resurrection, a monastic order based in Mirfield, Yorkshire. In 2016, I spent another six weeks with the Iona Community in Argyll, Scotland,” says Shaeron. “The works in this exhibition demonstrate a marriage of my practice as a printmaker and an installation artist. I have rediscovered my first love, which is print, but have found new ways to display the artworks.”

In addition, the artist has recently announced a one-day 'art retreat workshop' on Sunday 5 November, from 2pm to 4pm. Suitable for 12 years old and above. This will give guests an opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about her work, as well as reflecting on some of the themes of the exhibition.

There will also be the chance to try some basic print and bookmaking techniques as part of the workshop. This will be a pay as you feel event. To book a place, contact Cupola on 0114 285 2665.

Leroy Lion ‘gatecrashes’ wedding to win motorhome owner prize

S6 EVENTS

As a special promotion this summer, the first 100 customers who took their motorhome to Red Lion Garage for a service or an MOT received their very own free Leroy the Lion plush toy. In addition, a prize of a £50 National Trust Gift Card was awarded to three customers who posted the best holiday photo of Leroy this summer on the Red Lion Garage’s Facebook page.

Mr Ian Prior from Sheffield was one of the worthy winners, posting a photo of Leroy as he ‘gatecrashed’ a wedding in Cornwall during a family holiday in their Fiat Ducatto IH Conversion. Leroy will now be passed on to Mr Prior’s granddaughter who has loved listening to all his travels.

Mr Prior said: “We are delighted to have won.

We had lots of fun taking photos with Leroy. We always have our motorhome serviced by Red Lion. They offer a professional, reasonably priced service and their mechanics are very knowledgeable and always cheerful.”

Red Lion Garage’s manager, Martin said: “Motorhomes should be serviced regularly, and after spending summer travelling, why not bring yours in and we will make sure any broken or worn parts are replaced and pick up any areas of concern. Now is the best time - before you put it into winter storage. We will also give you your own Leroy to guard your campervan during the dark nights.”

Anyone interested in booking a repair or service at Red Lion Garage should call 0114 2551619 or, as with all the other garages in the Tavern Garage Group, customers can go online and book an MOT, repair or service 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.taverngaragegroup.co.uk.

A young Jack on holiday in Skegness with his parents

POST-WAR LIFE IN HILLSBOROUGH IS BROUGHT VIVIDLY BACK TO LIFE THIS MONTH IN A NEW BOOK.

Jack on his wedding day

Home is where the history is hilst Britain was still in the grips of austerity, young Jack Watson had everything he wanted and more on Proctor Place – his home for the first few years of his life.

Friends, family and the long-gone Hillsborough Kinema – the picture house that gave him his lifelong love of films – was everything he needed within a 500-yard radius of his house.

Jack Watson’s book - A Nice Tailend From Mr Burrows - originally started out as a few personal notes for relatives about his early life in Hillsborough and, later, nearby Stannington.

But it soon grew to something far bigger as friends and family encouraged him to do more.

Jack Watson said: “We were one of three terrace houses that shared a communal yard covered in sinkholes. We had an outdoor toilet, no hot water and the only heating was an open fire in one room.

“But we wanted for nothing. I experienced everything from the streets of Hillsborough and Stannington – I was influenced by people around

me, the stories I heard, the challenges I faced and the love I felt.

“It made me realise just how much my passion for music, film, sport and history partly had shaped my life and how many seismic events I’d been witness to in the post war era of the 1950s and 1960s.

“Nowhere could I have found a better grounding than S6 – everything from the colourful characters I encountered to the famous Hillsborough roar and the World Cup Group games of 1966.”

Jack Watson’s pin-sharp memory and upbeat style provides a captivating read and includes everything from his dad’s win of celebrated The Star Walk to the yearly family holiday to the coast.

It’s also a reminder of a carefree age when kids enjoy freedoms unheard of today Jack Watson added: “Lastly my message to you all - put away the computer and live in reality. Enjoy the streets before they are taken away from you forever.”

A Nice Tailend From Mr Burrows is published on Oct 16th by www.acmretro.com and sells for £9.95. If you’d like a copy to review please let us know. @SixerRMC

Are you prepared?

PEACE FUNERALS ARE HERE TO HELP AT THE MOST DIFFICULT OF TIMES. was visiting my son and his family recently and I spent quite a bit of time chatting to my granddaughter who was showing me her Brownies badges and certificates. I was surprised to see on one certificate the motto ‘Be Prepared’ which I remembered from my time in the Cubs, several decades previously. It’s a simple adage that has stood the test of time. In fact, it is a guiding principle that has served me well throughout my work and social life.

For example, if I’m going into a meeting with colleagues at work, I know that the meeting will be much more effective if I have gathered together any facts and figures that I might need in advance.

If I’m going on a long walk, no matter how good the weather may seem in the valley, it has always paid to have wind and waterproof clothing with me that might prove life-saving on a mountain summit. Being prepared just makes life a lot easier.

So, as I head into the later years of my life, shouldn’t I ‘be prepared’ for the inevitable and get my affairs in order. Specifically, shouldn’t I prepare for my own funeral?

I

Not everyone wants to consider their own funeral but we will all need one at some stage. Doesn’t it make sense to have one for yourself that you would have wanted? Well, if you are ‘prepared’, and take out a funeral plan, that’s exactly what you can do.

Pre-paid funeral plans help in many ways.

They give you protection against inflation, and take away the financial burden of your funeral from your loved ones. They help those left behind to know that they are giving you the funeral that you wanted. And they provide you with the peace of mind that this aspect of your life is dealt with and you don’t need to think about it anymore.

At Peace Funerals (see advert), we have been providing funeral plans tailored to each individual’s wishes for over 20 years. Unlike tailormade suits, where you would expect to pay more

for a bespoke product, tailor-made funeral plans can cost you less than a standard package as you don’t pay for elements that you don’t want.

Prices start from around £2,000 for a direct (unattended) cremation and from around £2,700 for a standard bespoke funeral. All plans can be bought by a single payment or by monthly instalments over up to five years. The choice is yours. And the relief that you feel when you know that you have got it all sorted is priceless.

So, if you haven’t already got a funeral plan, isn’t it time for you to ‘Be Prepared’.

Give us a call on 0114 253 0505 or 0114 233 0563 to find out more, or visit our website www.peacefunerals.co.uk.

Smithy Garage Motor Services

Road salt, sleet and snow that comes with winter can inflict a lot of damage to your car’s paint finish, making it more susceptible to rust and corrosion.

So how do you protect your car’s finish this winter? Using a car wax, getting chipped paintwork sorted before the temperature drops and vinyl wrapping can all help, as can washing your car regularly and brushing, rather than scraping ice and snow off your car.

Established over 20 years and as the originators of minor automotive paint repair technology, ChipsAway have built a fantastic reputation for providing high quality repairs, eliminating the inconvenience and potential expense of using a body shop.

Contact them for a free estimate today.

Malin Motor Bodies If there’s one thing owner, Tony Shirtcliffe, loves more than racing classic cars, it’s restoring them to their former glory.

Over the years, the team at Malin Motor Bodies have completed many restorations and have a repeat customer base.

The family-owned firm was established in 1989 on Malin Road by Tony, who has been in the motor trade all his life. His son, Jonathon, took the decision to join the business in 1998 after serving his apprenticeship in a Sheffieldbased body shop.

Services include general car and van repairs, body work, painting and alloy wheel refurbishment using high grade products including Dalby spray booths and ovens.

WHETHER YOU’RE LOOKING FOR RAW POWER OR PRACTICALITY, THERE’S SOMETHING TO SUIT EVERYONE THIS MONTH, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH.

Pulling power Entry level Ferrari Say hello to the Ferrari Portofino, Ferrari’s all-new open-top grand tourer.

Taking the place of the California T in the Ferrari range as the company’s ‘entry level’ supercar, the Portofino has some hefty responsibility on its hands.

With an all-new chassis laying under an all-new more aggressive and purposeful design philosophy, the Portofino is much more than just a face-lifted California T. Powered by the same 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, power has been boosted to 592hp which gets the car from 0124mph in 10.8 seconds. It’s 80kg lighter than the California T and it boasts a larger boot too.

The cabin is much improved and is set inline with the cabin from the GTC4 Lusso with the new 10.2-inch touchscreen and newly designed steering wheel.

The latest Mondeo range will now have a new sports and luxury specification

The brand-new Audi RS4 Avant was revealed to the world at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

As with the previous incarnation of the RS4, this generation model will only be available in estate form, leaving the RS5 to occupy the more sport-orientated market.

Unlike the previous RS4, which boasted a high-revving naturally aspirated V8, the new RS4 is powered by a 2.9-litre biturbo V6 making 444 bhp and 442.5 lb ft of torque, an increase of 124.4 lb ft over the previous model.

The interior of the RS4 is impeccable. It’ll come with the company’s infamous ‘virtual cockpit’ arrangements and built with a fit and finish only the Germans can achieve.

Transmission is an eight-speed auto job with Quattro all-wheel drive.

Prices start from £61,625.

Swift response Ever wanted your hot-hatch to feel raw and analogue in today’s digital world? The Suzuki Swift Sport was the car to have.

With a lightweight design, manual gearbox and powered by a fizzy rev-happy naturally-aspirated petrol engine, the Swift Sport was one of the most enjoyable cars to drive on the road.

Now there’s a brand-new Swift Sport coming to town, and it looks good. It weights 970kg, 80kg fewer than the old model meaning it’ll be like a wasp on the twisty roads, it comes with a snappy sixspeed manual gearbox and a 138hp 1.4litre turbocharged motor.

A seven-inch touchscreen, 4.2-inch display set between the dials, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will come as standard.

FIVE ALIVE After the launch of the Mondeo back in 2015, Ford has now decided to update the line-up to its flagship businessman’s express.

The latest Mondeo range will now have a new sports and luxury specification. In short the Mondeo range will drop from seven trim levels to only five. Starting off at £19,445 we have the Zetec Edition, then there’s the ST-Line both existing and new trim level, then we have the Titanium Level and the range-topping Vignale.

As standard, all five models have navigation, DAB, autonomous braking to mitigate or avoid low-speed collisions at under 31mph, front/rear parking sensors and cruise control with speed limiter. ST-Line features lowered sports suspension and an enhanced sporty look with Titanium introducing premium leather heated seats. @SixerRMC
