MUSEUMS AWARDED GRANT TO BRING STORIES ALIVE IN EX-MINING COMMUNITIES Doncaster museums have been awarded a grant of £78,850 to work with younger and older residents across the borough to explore the area’s mining heritage. Doncaster Heritage Services, which runs Cusworth Hall and Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery on Chequer Road, received

the grant from the Museum’s Association’s Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund which seeks to connect audiences with collections. The two-year intergenerational project will work with participants in three ex-mining communities: Denaby Main, Hatﬁeld and Stainforth and

Woodlands which together tell the story of the area’s mining history from the sinking of the deep pits in the area in the early 20th century to the present day. The project will provide opportunities for participants to gain new skills and qualiﬁcations, meet new people and explore Doncaster

Museums’ mining collections, shedding new light on these collections based on their own experiences. Younger participants will record conversations with ex-miners and their families, and both older and younger participants will work together to curate exhibitions which will be

displayed at Cusworth Hall and in various locations across the borough. Nigel Ball, Cabinet Member for Public Health, Leisure and Culture, said: “The exciting project is a fantastic opportunity for our younger and older residents to work together in an exploration of our local mining heritage.

“It looks set to be a great experience for all involved where participants will beneﬁt from sharing knowledge, developing new skills and exploring the fascinating mining collections at Doncaster’s museums. I look forward to seeing the project take shape.” The Project will involve local

partners in all three areas, including EPIC, Woodlands Speaks and the Well Doncaster Project based in Denaby. Students from Doncaster College and Doncaster University Centre will support participants to develop research, photography and creative writing skills. The National Mining Museum for

England, based in Wakeﬁeld, and the University of Leeds will also support participants in gaining new skills, and to explore the collections. If you would like to ﬁnd out more about this project and get involved, contact jude.holland@ doncaster.gov.uk

PHIL COLLINS - OUT OF RETIREMENT AND STILL.... NOT DEAD YET: LIVE

my passion for music and performing. It’s time to do it all again and I’m excited. It just feels right.” One the most successful artists of his generation, with more UK Top 40 singles than any other artist of the 1980s, Phil Collins came to prominence first as drummer and then as frontman of Genesis, making his solo debut with 1981’s album Face Value, containing smash hit single ‘In The Air Tonight.’ He followed this with an extraordinary run as a prolific hit maker. 3 UK Number ones - Easy Lover, You Can’t Hurry Love and Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) - as well as 7 US Number 1s and global smashes including One More Night, Separate Lives, Two Hearts, Another Day In Paradise, I Wish It Would Rain Down, Both Sides Of The Story and Dance Into The Light to name but a few. His long awaited memoir Not Dead Yet: The Autobiography was published in November 2016 by Penguin Random House and after reissuing all of Phil Collins’ studio records throughout last year, a career-spanning selection of hits ‘The Singles’ is available on 2 CD, 3 CD, 4 LP and digital download from Atlantic Records. Tickets for Phil Collins Sheffield Arena show on Friday 24th November 2017, go on general sale at 9am on Friday 7th July priced £72.80, £100.80 & £134.40 including booking fee when booked online at www.sheffieldarena.co.uk or through the ticket hotline on 0114 256 56 56.

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, whose eagerly awaited new album ‘Crooked Calypso’ is released on 21st July, have announced a tour of Ireland and the UK in the autumn. Paul and Jacqui last played live at their ‘Beauty In The East’ show at Hull’s 23,000 capacity KCOM Craven Park Stadium on 3rd June and will be stopping off at Sheffield Arena on Saturday 9th December 2017. Tickets go on sale 9.30am on Friday 7th July priced £31.92 when booked online at www.sheffieldarena. co.uk or through the ticket hotline on 0114 256 56 56 or £29.93 if booked in person from the Arena Box Office. Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott will release their third album ‘Crooked Calypso’ on Virgin EMI on 21st July. ‘Crooked Calypso’ boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton’s peerless songwriting: songs buoyant with melody, and redolent with biting wit, but also real emotion. Some of the new album will get an airing when Paul & Jacqui hit the road and they will also delve deep into Paul’s phenomenal 30 year back catalogue as a songwriter and will also perform classic songs by The Beautiful South and the Housemartins. Paul Heaton, one of the UK’s most successful songwriters with some 10 million album sales under his belt, first came to public attention in the early 80s as front man of Hull-based indie poppers The Housemartins (the same group that spawned Norman ‘Fatboy Slim’ Cook), best known for their third single ‘Happy Hour’ and their No 1 acapella Isley Bros cover ‘Caravan Of Love’. The Housemartins released two albums ‘London 0 Hull 4’ (’86) and ‘The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death’ (’87). In ’88 Heaton formed The Beautiful South, who released 10 hugely successful albums ‘Welcome To The Beautiful South’ (’89), Choke (’90), ‘0898 Beautiful South’

(’92), ‘Miaow’ (’94), ‘Blue Is The Colour’ (’96), ‘Quench’ (’98), ‘Painting It Red’ (2000), ‘Gaze’ (’03), ‘Golddiggas, Headnodders & Pholk Songs’ (’04) and ‘Superbi’ (’06). In 2001 Heaton took a break from The Beautiful South and released his first solo album ‘Fat Chance’. The Beautiful South called it a day in 2007 citing ‘musical similarities’. Jacqui Abbott was lead vocalist in The Beautiful South from ’94 to 2000 and she sang many of their signature hits including ‘Rotterdam’, ‘Perfect 10’, ‘Don’t Marry Her’ and ‘Dream A Little Dream’. Paul Heaton went on to release two further solo albums: ‘The Cross-Eyed Rambler’ (’08) and ‘Acid Country’ (’10). In 2011 Heaton wrote a musical called ‘The 8th’ based on the Seven Deadly Sins and asked Jacqui to sing one of the parts. They have since released two acclaimed albums as a duo: ‘What Have We Become’ (’14) and ‘Wisdom, Laughter and Lines’ (’15). Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott’s new album ‘Crooked Calypso’ will be released on 21st July ’17. Tickets for their Sheffield Arena show on Saturday 9th December will go on sale 9.30am on Friday 7th July priced £31.92 when booked online at www.sheffieldarena.co.uk or through the ticket hotline on 0114 256 56 56 or £29.93 if booked in person from the Arena Box Office.

Night after night on his incredible comeback tour, Phil Collins has introduced his show to the audience by simply saying that he has missed them. And he wasn’t kidding. After postponing two shows of his recent Royal Albert Hall series until November due to an injury, Phil has decided to keep the celebration going by announcing more live dates for the end of the year adding a Sheffield Arena date on Friday 24th November, which is over twenty years since his last visit to the venue where he played 2 sell-out shows back in November 1994. One of the great British musicians is back performing, having just returned to the stage for his first live dates in 10 years. His performances have received rave reviews from media and fans alike, with his incredible band storming venues every night, including his 16 year old son Nick taking his dad’s place on drums. “It took just a few moments on stage and singing with the fans to convince me that this was the best idea I’ve had in years,” says Phil of the recent shows, “There’s so much love and so much fun. We decided to share that with as many people as we could.” With 100 million record sales to his name, Number 1 albums the world over and songs that have soundtracked millions of lives, Phil Collins is a legend whose work has received growing acclaim as a new generation of artists have discovered and been inspired by an incredible career. Artists from Adele, to Pharrell, Lorde, Kanye West and Beyoncé have talked of their love for his music in recent times, since Phil announced his retirement from music in 2011. He last toured in 2007. Phil made his live return at an event for his own Little Dreams Foundation last year, before performing two of his biggest hits at the opening of the US Open tennis in New York in August, inspiring him to announce his first headline tour in a decade. “I thought I would retire quietly,” said Phil at the time, “But thanks to the fans, my family and support from some extraordinary artists I have rediscovered

WALKING FOR PURPOSE SCHEME TO TAKE NEXT STEPS

centre, before being rolled out to different areas over the next three years. Following the Walking for Purpose pilot scheme, the Sport Industry Research Centre (SIRC) at Sheffield Hallam University carried out a study to see how successful it had been. As part of the evaluation process, one participant told the research team: “It’s given me some confidence that there are things that I can do, that I can do it, that there are opportunities out there. And knowing about some of these local businesses means that I would be more confident now that if a job came up there, I might be able to apply for it.” Another said: “It gave me interesting information about how to get a job in the future, and making the first step to do that – how make a good presentation of yourself.” One participant said: This is something you don’t do in a job club, you don’t go out and meet potential employers and meet such people and gain an insight to see what employers are looking for. The members of staff understand you and try their utmost to get you connected with other people.” The Sheffield Hallam University research carried out following the pilot scheme concluded that “the combination of the different elements of the project – the led walks, business insight visits, masterclasses, and the support network and atmosphere created – was a unique combination and one which, for these unemployed people, made a real difference. “All aspects of the project, from the more formal talks and sessions, to the informal conversations and ‘having a laugh’ over tea and coffee, were valued by participants, and worked to sustain their participation in the programme – for many, much longer than the initially anticipated six weeks, and actually for the duration of the project. “All participants spoken to hoped that the project would be continued, and indicated that, if it were, then they would continue to attend until they found employment.” Anyone who is unemployed in Sheffield is welcome to take part in Walking for Purpose. The first walk in the Walking for Purpose project will take place on Wednesday 5 July, from Newfield Green library, between 10am and 12noon. From then on, initially three walks a week will take place, all running from 10am until 12noon. These will be at Newfield Green library on Wednesdays, at Tinsley Forum on Thursdays and from the Town Hall on Fridays.

“It’s given me some confidence that there are things that I can do, that I can do it, and that there are opportunities out there.” That’s the view of a participant in the “Walking for Purpose” project, which after a successful pilot scheme in Hillsborough is now set to be rolled out across Sheffield. Sheffield City Council has been successful in receiving funding from the Department for Transport to run Walking for Purpose for a further three years, and the project is now set to be launched on Wednesday, 5 July. Walking for Purpose aims to get people walking, moving more and enjoying a healthier lifestyle. In turn, this will help to reduce isolation, connect people to work opportunities in their communities, and enable participants to learn about training and volunteering. The scheme offers those who are looking for work the opportunity to gain valuable skills and training that employers want, while being active with a gentle walk. Participants are met at a local venue where friendly and approachable staff will walk with them to different training providers or workplaces. Councillor Mary Lea, cabinet member for culture, parks and leisure at Sheffield City Council, said: “The Walking for Purpose pilot scheme was hugely successful, with participants telling us that it boosted their confidence, increased their levels of physical activity, and made them realise that there are jobs and training opportunities out there for them. “The feedback we had from both the participants and businesses involved was absolutely fantastic, with one participant describing the scheme as being like ‘VIP treatment’ due to the chance they got to get behind the scenes of local companies. “That’s why I’m so glad that Walking for Purpose is now being rolled out across the city, and more people will get the chance to take part in this hugely positive scheme, which has already made a difference in changing people’s lives for the better.” The project has been developed in partnership with organisations including Reach South Sheffield, To find out more, call 0114 273 4266 or visit the Tinsley Forum and Zest. Walking for Purpose will www.sheffield.gov.uk/content/sheffield/home/ initially run in Gleadless Valley, Tinsley and the city public-health/walking-for-purpose

LIMITED TIME OFFER

SPY boots with a built-in camera and fairy slippers that sprinkle magic dust could be dreamed up by Shefﬁeld schoolchildren who are stepping up to a design challenge to win their whole class some new shoes. Family footwear retailer Charles Clinkard is asking primary school students to design the perfect pair of shoes to help them in their dream job – and label any special features. Last year, pet loving schoolgirls Abigail and Isabelle from Pallister Park School in Middlesbrough, won 60 pairs of shoes for their classmates with their animal rescue themed shoes. Features included a secret compartment for animal treats, a poop scoop bag in the heel and jewels that had a calming effect on scared animals. Once they’ve come up with an idea, pupils need to draw them on the downloadable entry form, ask mum, dad, or teacher, to complete the details and

post it back – full details are on the form which can be downloaded from www.charlesclinkard.co.uk/ back-to-school-competition-i310. The winners will be invited along to Charles Clinkard’s Meadowhall store, along with their classmates, to pick out their new shoes. The family run ﬁrm has been providing children with shoes for generations, and there are many people who will remember having their feet measured at Charles Clinkard as they were growing up. Since the company was started more than 90 years ago it has gone from strength-to-strength and is now a nationwide success with 36 stores across the UK. The closing date for entries is July 16, 2017 and the adult whose details are on the entry form will be contacted by phone and email. (Full names and ages of children must be provided.)

PROMISING POOCHES TO BE PUT THROUGH THEIR PACES AT MEADOWHALL’S ‘PAW-DITIONS’ Meadowhall’s Summer Beach is set to be centre stage next month when talented canines are invited to head down to the Centre. Shefﬁeld is on the hunt for a four-legged show-stopping star to feature in the hit musical Legally Blonde as Rufus. The Centre is inviting extraordinary dogs and their owners to its specially constructed beach outside the Oasis entrance

to audition for the role of bulldog, Rufus Bonafonté in the upcoming production of Legally Blonde at Shefﬁeld’s Lyceum Theatre this autumn. All bullish and robust ﬁdos chasing fame are welcome to apply by 10th July, not just bulldogs. The hopeful hounds invited to audition will be asked to perform a series of tasks in a plea to star alongside Bruiser, the iconic, cute,

Chihuahua. A panel of discernibly dogged judges will be looking for a chubby, British dog, that only its mother could love and on the day will be studying temperament, responsiveness and experience. Meadowhall Centre Director, Darren Pearce, said: “We all think our own pets are extra special so now is the time to prove it and give your dog the chance to enjoy the limelight in one of the best-

loved shows around.” Dan Bates, CEO of Sheffield Theatres, added: “We’re delighted to be working alongside Meadowhall on such an exciting and unique project. “We’ve done many exciting and unusual things at the theatre, but this is the first time that a fourlegged actor will be auditioned on a beach at Meadowhall!” Legally Blonde tells the tale of beautiful Elle Woods who decides to leave her glamourous life behind in pursuit of love and ends up at Harvard University finding so much more than she bargained for, including new friends Paulette and her boisterous bulldog* Rufus! Meadowhall’s Summer Beach opens specially on July 21st for the Legally Blonde auditions and then the Meadowhall Kids’ Club will be open weekdays 11am

– 2pm, with daily activities for families and children to enjoy all summer long. If you think your dog is destined for fame, then apply by emailing a photograph of your pooch

and some info about him or her, stating Lyceum Theatre, Shefﬁeld in your application, to David Barrett (djebarrett@hotmail. co.uk) by 10th July. If successful you will be invited down to Legally Blonde’s Paw-ditions in Meadowhall on July 21st between 10am – 12pm (TBC).

CRYSTAL PEAKS STAFF GET FITTER WITH THE MOVE MORE CHALLENGE

Crystal Peaks gets ﬁtter with the Move More Workplace Challenge IF staff at Crystal Peaks shopping centre are looking that little bit leaner this summer it's because they've signed up for the Move More Workplace Challenge! Move More is the physical activity plan that aims to transform Shefﬁeld into the most active city in the UK by 2020. And for the team at the award-winning Crystal Peaks shopping centre that means getting away from the desk or the counter and joining in some serious exercise regimes. "As this is a year of well

being we thought we should do something as a company because we see it very much as part of our policy of social responsibility to encourage all the Crystal Peaks team to think about their health," said Centre Manager Lee Greenwood. "We've signed up for the Move More Sheffield Workplace Challenge, which is supported by Yorkshire Cancer Research, and although we've got quite a way to go yet, we're determined to see ourselves head up the leader board towards the top." One of the main activities being offered at the centre is a series of twice weekly free outdoor staff workouts throughout June in partnership with Places Gym. "It's been brilliant to see how many people have turned up to take part," said Lee. "Having seen how well it has been received, we are now also looking at ways to continue encouraging the team to think fitter and healthier. "We are also preparing to launch a free product guide for customers, so they know where to find the healthiest options as they shop. "And throughout the summer holidays there will be a range of fun events for all the family which will also have a fitness theme."

ECHO ASKS - IS MUM OK? Tech start-up 3rings reveals how it has integrated its product with Amazon Echo, showing how smart homes and the ‘internet of things’ can help both older people and their relatives to live independently and be assured of the security of their loved ones. Originally, 3rings helped families monitor the wellbeing of their ageing friends or relatives through a ‘smart plug’ that connects to domestic appliances such a kettle or a TV. It was created by Steve Purdham so that he and his siblings could rest assured that their 82-year old mother was well. Being an entrepreneur, he was determined to ﬁnd a way to apply his thinking to support both older people and their friends and family who are concerned for their welfare. There are now 11.6 million over-65s living in the UK and 1.5 million of them over 85[1]. This latest development for 3rings works with the Amazon Echo in two modes; the ﬁrst allows friends and relatives to ‘ask Alexa’ if their loved one is safe and okay. The second mode can be used in a loved one’s home; they can ask Alexa to tell 3rings they need help which will send out an immediate alert to their friends and

family network. However, the Amazon Echo is just the start as the system is ﬂexible, allowing it to be tailored to the needs and worries of the family. A range of different sensors or devices can be used to track different areas of concern, for example, ‘Is my mum cold?’, ‘Is my dad eating?’ The ability to integrate with new devices and appliances from 3rings and other manufactures’ as they become available is key and shows how the internet of things can be used to create Things that Care®. Steve Purdham, Chairman and Founder of 3rings comments, “A key driver behind this development is that by 2020, 50 billion things will be connected to the Internet. By integrating with Amazon Echo it will enable 3rings to transform the face of social care and provide a stronger safety net to help families know their loved ones are okay each day. “The UK population is getting older and many of our customers are in the ‘sandwich generation’ – balancing work commitments, with caring for older family members and looking after their own children – 3rings has the potential to help. Through this platform we want to stay

ahead of the Internet of Things curve and demonstrate how technology can care.” More than just giving peace of mind to families and loved ones, users have said how it has helped them to move beyond the everyday worries and have a better relationships with their relatives. Beverly, a 3rings user, says, “3rings helps my sister hugely as she lives with Mum but works full time, and can work now without worrying. A wonderful example of how something so simple can have such a big impact.” Steve, a 3rings user, says, “One of the big things that mum really liked about the plug, and was key to her accepting it, was that it is very unobtrusive and doesn’t interrupt anything already in place.” The business was inspired by the traditional three rings code used by families in the times before mobile phones. During its beta phase the 3rings cloud platform and smartphone app linked with an elderly loved one’s landline phone. In 2015 this concept was replaced with the introduction of the 3rings smart plug.

For many grandparents, the early years before school begins are a wonderful time of bonding with grandchildren. Bearing witness to their growth and development is one of the joys of grandparenting – because you’re not their sole guardian, you can relax and enjoy time spent together without any of the added stresses that come along with raising your own children. The bonds made with children can last a lifetime, and for many of afternoons and weekends spent minding the grandchildren make up some of our most precious memories. As our grandchildren grow from children into adolescents and adults, it’s not always easy for them to remember the adventures you had together in their early life. Here you have the advantage – and by holding on to the memories and sharing them later you can delight and entertain your grandchildren with stories of their younger days. Start a memory journal As a grandparent, you have the opportunity to collect and catalogue all the moments you spent together when your grandchildren were very young. Consider starting a memory journal – it

can be as simple as a lined notebook. Whenever you spend time together, take a moment to sit down and write a journal entry about what you saw and did. It’s especially amusing to look back on what they said in their younger years; subjects that fascinated them, questions they asked, discussions you had together all make for fun and entertaining reading later on. The gift of memory If you can get into the habit of doing this when they’re young, or even taking time to reﬂect back and put a few past memories to paper once they’re older, this can make a wonderful and thoughtful gift. It costs noting more than the price of a notebook but will be a treasured and much-loved present – perfect for milestone birthdays, graduations, or even as a wedding gift. In the end, it’s a gift to you too; you can look back together once they’re older and relive all the special times you’ve shared.

GODS OF ROCK HEADLINE HUGE CHARITY SHOW Did your history teacher tell you that Thor was the Viking god of thunder? He was wrong. Thor is Sheffield’s God Of Rock...well Gods of Rock actually. This 5 piece, 100% live, rock band have been taking Yorkshire and the North East by storm with their unique, high tempo, high energy rock show. Their set contains some of the biggest hits from bands such as AC/DC, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden and Queen, among others, as well as their debut original single Lamborghini Woman. Add to that, an electrifying stage and light show which sees the band out in the crowd, on the tables, behind the bar and just about anywhere else they can get to, and you’ve got a night on unadulterated rock pleasure! On Saturday 8th July, Thor-Gods Of Rock will be headlining a charity event in aid of Bluebell Wood, SUDEP Action and St Luke’s Hospice at The Birley, Birley Moor Road, Sheffield. “It’s a big honour to be asked to headline something like this. All of the charities are great causes but, on a personal level, St Luke’s hospice was where my Grandad was cared for so it’s close to my heart.” explained frontman, Lee Dodge. “I’m actually more looking forward to seeing a few of our mates perform than performing myself.” As well as the Mighty Thor, there will be performances from Jay Danielle, Kristian (both male solo singers), The Deadringers with their Meatloaf Tribute, top 80’s tribute band The Prophecy and the terrific band, Synergy. “When you’re on stage all the time, you don’t see your mates much. We’re good friends with the guys in The Prophecy and we’ve know Carl Wragg (Synergy guitarist) for years so it’ll be good to catch up with them and help 3 great charities at the same time.” Established in 2014, Thor-Gods Of Rock have wielded Thor’s famous hammer to hit South Yorkshire’s lively music scene with thunderous impact with a show that is reminiscent of the kind of shows seen in the pubs and clubs of this area 20 years ago. Lee explains “When we put this together, we knew that there are so many great bands out there, we had to do something different to stand out.” Drummer, Joe Tulley continues, “With Lee being 6’4” and looking like everybody’s mental image of Thor, using that as a unique selling point was just common sense. The costume was just something we thought of to really go over the top.” All 5 members of the band have grown up with live music, something that the band clearly feel

has brought such success. Keyboard player, James Tulley (brother of Joe) told us “we all grew up in and around music. Joe and myself have been in bands since we were at school, Kev (guitarist Kevin Hill) has had the same. Mike (bass player, Mike Kaperys) and Lee started performing at the local jam night. So, as a band, we’ve all got some great experiences that we can draw on.” When asked where the influence for the elaborate show comes from, Lee explained “I remember going to the working men’s clubs with my mum and dad from a really young age. I was blown away by the likes of Fright Night, Alcatraz, Guns N Oatcakes. They all went beyond just standing playing guitar in jeans and tee shirts. It was a show. Costume changes, make up, the lot.” Joe added “we get told that people haven’t seen anything like this for 20-25 years. It’s great to be compared to the bands we all grew up watching.” A typical Thor-Gods Of Rock show has a tremendous light show, co-ordinated by Lee’s wife, Sarah, capes, kilts, keytars and even pyrotechnics that really make the show go with a bang. It’s a recipe that has seen the band play to full houses across Yorkshire, the North-East and, recently, North Wales. “The travelling doesn’t bother us” says Joe. “It’s part and parcel of playing in a band.” James added “we see the long trips as a bit of a road trip with the lads. We’re lucky that we’re such a close knit band. We’re more like brothers than band mates. So a weekend away doing what we love is great.” The charity work continues at the end of July as Thor head to Bramall Lane to play at a function to raise money for the British Red Cross Disaster Fund. Joe told us “I got a call from Gary Sinclair, the stadium announcer for Sheffield United. We’ve known Gary for a while and when he told us what it was for, there was only one answer.” Although, it may cause some issues over Lee’s dinner table; “my wife and her family are all Blades, where as me and my family have always been Wednesdayites! I don’t think my dad will let me in for Sunday dinner the next day so I’ll be off to the mother-in-laws!” For more information on the band, including information on future shows and tickets for the 2 charity events above, head over to the Thor-Gods Of Rock website; www.Thor-Rock. co.uk or Facebook page; www.facebook.com/ ThorRockSheffield

ROOTS MUSIC CLUB’S YOUNGEST FAN Two-month old Evelyn Mary Graham gleefully bounced to the rhythm and tunes of Tildon Krautz on Friday, the 30th of June at the Roots Music Club in Doncaster. Evelyn was honoured with the title of “Roots Youngest Fan” after her parents, Duncan Graham and Kirstin Zindler, decided to take advantage of the ticket deal which offers free admission to children under the age of 16 when accompanied by a paying adult. So in addition to saving money on a babysitter, the entire family enjoyed the fun songs and bright energy of Tildon Krautz. Lovers of live music, Duncan and Kirstin are frequently found attending the wide variety of gigs the club has to offer. Future line-ups at the club worth a mention include Cua, a traditional Irish band on 14th July, Rab Noakes on the 21st July, and Wizz Jones on the 28th July.

GRAND

Closed for the month of August, the club will reopen on 1st of September with a Memorial Tribute Concert to honour the recently deceased local legend, Vin Garbutt. Several singer-songwriters who have been lifelong friends and collaborators of Vin will perform with all proceeds to charity. Roots Music Club (www.rootsmusicclub.co.uk) is located at The Ukrainian Centre, 48 Beckett Road, Doncaster DN2 4AD

At soggy intervals, I landed around a dozen carp, somewhat smaller than expected from the venue, but still into double ﬁgures, a few bream of good size, and a bonus roach which was to prove my favourite catch of the visit, all whilst getting progressively wetter. When the time came to pack up, most of the kit was just thrown through the open door of the van, to be sorted at home, covered in bream slime, soaked through, and very ‘aromatic’, so I couldn’t wait to get home, get cleaned up, and hang the clobber up to dry; not the best end to a promising week… The weather is forecast to improve in coming days, so my aim is to get down to the new

GEORGE BOYD: LET’S GET STARTED George Boyd is keen to get down to business at Hillsborough after completing his move to the club on Monday. The experienced winger arrives in S6 with big ambitions and will meet up with his new team mates on Tuesday for his ﬁrst day of preseason with Wednesday. Looking forward to those crucial weeks of preparation that lie ahead, with little over four weeks until the Owls travel to Preston for the season curtain-raiser, Boyd told swfc.co.uk: “I’m delighted it’s all done. As soon as I knew of the interest it was a no-brainer for me. “It will be nice to meet up with everyone tomorrow and I’m excited and raring to get going. “It’s important you get a full pre-season under

BLADES BOSS ON IMPORTANCE OF PRE-SEASON Chris Wilder says he has been impressed with how the players have reported back for pre-season training. The Blades squad ofﬁcially returned to Shirecliffe this week, as preparations for the Championship opener against Brentford got underway. And Wilder says the graft put in during a record breaking campaign last term has created a smooth transition this time round. He remarked: “We’re in a better place now than we were 12 months ago and that’s because of the work we put into the players over the course of last season. “The players understand now about how we train and what the rules are. But nothing really changes around the structure, the balls will always be out early.

MAY WORKING HARD FOR ROVERS Alﬁe May has enjoyed pushing himself in his ﬁrst pre-season as a professional footballer.

your belt, I can start now and build over the next weeks and get ready for the new season. “Obviously the club have been close over the last two years and hopefully I can help get them over the line. “It is a club that needs to be in the Premier

League with the fans and the structure that is in place.” He added: “There is always a great crowd here and I can’t wait for it to get started.” You can watch Boyd’s interview with at www.swfc.co.uk

“I tell the players everyday there can be no shortcuts in pre-season, it’s a team game packed with team situations, but during preseason you almost have to be an individual to make sure you’re right for when the when the action begins.” The Blades boss added: “It’s tough there is no hiding from that fact, we push the players, we

expect them to push themselves, but without being silly and getting injured. “I want the players to enjoy working hard, there is no substitute for the hard yards, but it has to be interesting and enjoyable and we will make sure it will be. “I’m just glad I’m not doing it!

The forward completed a move from nonleague Hythe Town in January. He said: “It’s different for me, because in nonleague you do Tuesday and Thursday nights so don’t get as much as at full-time clubs. “And we work a lot harder, I’ve done some drills I’ve never done before and it’s all going to help.” Alfie adapted quickly to life in the professional game after his switch to South Yorkshire, and he is confident he will be in even better shape after having a first full-time pre-season under his belt. He added: “Games come thick and fast during the season, and the fitter you are the better chance you have of getting through it. “I’ve loved every minute at Rovers and cannot wait to repay the club and fans with some goals once the season gets going properly.” of Jamie Proctor this week, the Millers boss has ticked another box in his close season recruitment drive. Last season the Millers were arguably light in the forwards department, but Warne has moved swiftly to plug the gaps with the likes of David Ball and Proctor putting pen-to-paper, whilst Jonson ClarkeHarris and Jerry Yates have both penned contract extensions. With five senior strikers now on the books, plus Warne’s desire to add one more, the former striker believes he has hit the right balance in his attacking department. “When I signed Jamie Proctor, straight away I knew he was a different type to say a Jono (Jonson Clarke-Harris),” Warne told www.themillers.co.uk

FULLY PREPARED Owls midfielder Almen Abdi is fully focused on the pre-season campaign ahead in order to build up his fitness ahead of 2017/18. And to that end, the 30-year-old has already made positive strides and feels in good shape ahead of Monday, when the Owls regroup at Middlewood Road for pre-season. Abdi hasn’t featured for Wednesday since late February, with a knee injury keeping the former Watford man out of action. But keen to leave those frustrations firmly in the past, Abdi said: “Injuries happen, it’s part of a footballer’s life. You need to remain focused and positive and we need to take that positivity into the new campaign. “My priority is to get back to full fitness and get a lot of games under my belt. “I went to a surgeon in London, a specialist for knee injuries. The operation went smooth and I was able to leave hospital on the same day. “Within seven to ten days I was already able to walk properly. “Now, after a few weeks off, I’ve been following my personal training regime. We’re back to training at Middlewood Road on Monday and I want to be fully prepared. “I have been getting a feel for the pitch and the ball again, doing some runs. That’s what it’s all about. “Physical workouts, too. The focus is getting a feel for it all so that I know I can return to Sheffield Wednesday well prepared.” And the Switzerland international is hoping 2017/18 – the Owls’ 150th anniversary campaign – will be their year. He added: “Last season we showed to everyone that we’ve got Premier League potential. “Sadly we didn’t make it but that is football, we were unlucky. I couldn’t be there to help last season, I had to watch it all unfold from the stands “But we need to look forward. We’ve got a tremendous squad and played some really great football at times last season. “We know we can still do better and hopefully next season will be our year.”

Now Showing “I don’t want to sign five strikers who are all exactly the same. I think he’ll give us something different. “With the signings that I have made this summer I think that I have brought in a lot of athletic players. I do like a physical presence. I also do like to think I have got players who will relish the fight on a cold Tuesday night. I would still like someone else up top that can bring goals but also be a complete nuisance to the back four.” With next season’s playing jigsaw almost in place, Warne knows he now must ensure that his firepower is correctly serviced. The likes of Anthony Forde, Joe Newell and Jon Taylor have all excelled at League One level, whilst new signing Ryan Williams is an added

Warne belives that his current midﬁeld have the ability to feed his new look strike force, and he is excited at his attacking potential. “I think that with the artillery we have in the middle of the park and out wide, I really think that there’s goals in the team,” he added. “We have got good players who can cross a ball at this club, so I want players who will attack it in the ﬁnal third. I think we have gone some way to getting that now.”
