encourage everyone to come down to Tudor Square and have a go. Sheffield is benefitting from the London 2012 Olympics in many ways, and this is a great way that everyone in the city can get involved.” Councillor Helen MirfinBoukouris, Sheffield City Council’s Cabinet Member for Business, Jobs and Growth, said: “We are issuing a call to action to anyone in Sheffield to find the most creative and unusual way of getting around the running track. Whether you’re

a unicyclist or a newly walking toddler, we’d love you to come and a long and contribute a lap towards our target. “Shefﬁeld is well known for sport, and for its rich cultural heritage and it’s great to see the two things combined in such an inspiring event.

ONE YEAR TO GO AND SHEFFIELD IS RIGHT ON TRACK Sheffield is putting culture and the arts at the heart of its preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Games, as one year until the Games is marked by the city’s Cultural Olympiad ‘Open Weekend.’ The weekend’s flagship event will be a ‘By Any Means’ running track in Tudor Square on 23 July, where laps will be completed by The Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus singing rousing choral music, other arts organisations, sports groups, bands, panto

not pop round to Tudor Square and do a lap too! “The momentum has really been building in the city as the London 2012 Olympic Games get closer, with all the elite sporting events and international training camps which have been attracted by the outstanding facilities in Shefﬁeld, and this is a fantastic way to mark a year to go.” Some of the activity on the day will reﬂect the culture of international athletes who will be resident in the city in the run up to London 2012,

and people will be able to have a go at Brazilian Capoeira and Carnival skills and enjoy Romany dancing. The Cultural Olympiad was a part of the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece, and as part of the London 2012 Games will be a series of events to showcase the UK ‘s arts and culture to the rest of the world.

COPLEY’S COLUMN

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

3 Men were waiting to go to heaven. St Peter was at the gate and said, “However good you were to your wife that is the vehicle you will get in heaven”. The first guy comes up to the gate and says, “I never, ever cheated on my wife and I love her”. So St. Peter gives him a Rolls Royce. The next man comes up and says, “I cheated on my wife a little but I stilll love her.” He gets a mustang and drives off into heaven. The next guy came up and said, “I cheated on my wife alot”. He gets a scooter. Next day the guy that got the scooter was riding along and he saw the guy who owned the Rolls Royce crying. He asked, “Why are you crying you have such a nice car?!” and the man sobbed, “My wife just went by on roller skates”. There was a flood in a village. One man said to everyone, “I’ll stay! God will save me!” The flood got higher and a boat came and the man in it said “Come on mate, get in!” “No” replied the man. God will save me! The flood got very high now and the man had to stand on the roof of his house. A helicopter soon came and the man offered him help.” No, God will save me!” he said Eventually he died by drowning. He got by the gates of heaven and he said to God “Why didn’t you save me?” God replied, “For goodness sake! I sent a boat and a helicopter. What more do you want!”

round-up by stuart renton

Ding Dong - the News of the World is dead. The tawdry piece of filth that called itself a newspaper is no more, and while it won’t last forever, this is a time of much celebration. It all happened so quickly; one day the paper was claiming Cheryl Cole was a ‘singer’, the next it was ‘disgusted by the face of UK journalism’ and shutting up shop. That was it. Game over. Journalists have managed to get away with spewing lies for decades: for example: they post an outrageous front page headline: “Katie Price, I love seamen” (is that a typo, I can never spell that word), only to print a retraction on the back page which takes up less space than the amount of living flesh extracted from Joan Collins’ autopsy. This happens all the time and no one has batted an eyelid. Until now. We were happy to read outrageous lies about celebrities, but tapping the phones of murder victims, well, that’s a step too far. Apparently. People in power have been lying to us since the word was invented. Bill Clinton didn’t make jiggy boom boom arooga with Monica Lewinsky and O. J. Simpson definitely didn’t kill his wife. But, we live in a world where no matter what you do, a simple apology and appearing truly penitent can get you instantly back in the public’s good graces. Remember our lardy ex-Prime Minister, who decided to call Gillian Duffy a ‘bigoted woman’. Yet all was forgiven when the PM, slap bang in the middle of an election campaign, dropped everything to apologise with a personal visit. I can only speculate on the lengths Gordon went to get Mrs Duffy’s apology, but she did comment afterwards that she was satisfied with his performance. You draw your own conclusions. If you’re missing the News of the World, don’t worry, people will forget all about the paper’s misdoings in a few months. Personally, I’m reusing material from earlier columns and no one ever notices! But, I’ve got to go, I hear there’s a position opening up for a correspondent for a new Sunday newspaper and I want to get my application in early. They asked some odd questions, like: “Are you good with surveillance equipment?” and “Are you prepared to have an integrity bypass?”. Anyway, I’ve attached my conscience (as requested) with the application form and signed my soul over to the editors, so I reckon I’m in with a good chance. Wish me luck.

FAKE FESTIVALS COMES TO DONCASTER Summer has well and truly begun with Sprotbrough Fake Festival next Saturday 23rd July. Starting at 12.30pm, the festival tent will be host to three headlining tribute acts – the finest in the country. For one day only, festival goers will be able to sing along to tunes from The Killers, Coldplay, and Kings of Leon. Unquestionably the best tribute festival in the country, Fake Festivals is bringing to Sprotbrough a jam packed day of live entertainment, music and look-alikes. “Last years Fake Festivals were a real highlight for the Fillers and we can’t wait to get back on the tour and perform in front of the amazing crowds that turn up every weekend,” says Trevor Hurley of The Filler. “Expect to see the full Las Vegas show from us, we are bringing the entire Fillers set and that includes Palm Trees!” Headlining along with The Fillers are Coldplace and Kings of Lyon. “We just can’t wait until the festival, they are awesome and it doesn’t even matter if it is raining as we are all inside the Fake Festivals marquee,” says Christian Dawson of Kings of Lyon. “We usually lift the roof off with ‘Sex On Fire’ when we perform it!” So with the promise of sunshine next Saturday, where else would you want to be than Sprotbrough Fake Festival, and to be a part of the sell out tour? The Killers tribute The Fillers The Fillers are undoubtedly one of the best tribute bands around at the present time. With lead singer Trevor Hurley the double of Brandon Flowers in everyway from the looks, stage presence and the voice, they really command the stage and give a performance that is simply not to be missed. Expect to see the stage dressed in true Killers style and Trevor and his band recreating the feel and atmosphere of such hits as Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, When You Were Young, Human, Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine, Smile Like You Mean It, plus many more. Coldplay Tribute ‘Coldplace’ Coldplace totally recreate the sound and feel of Coldplay when they perform at Fake Festivals up and down the UK. As regulars on the Fake Festivals tour Coldplace know exactly how to entertain a festival crowd. Lead singer Shane Crofts not only sounds like Chris Martin but he moves and plays the piano as if his life means it. Expect to be mesmorised by the stage presence and the lazer show that Coldplace incorprate into their festival set. You will definately be singing along to Viva La Vida, Fix You, Yellow, Talk amongst many others in their hit after hit setlist. These are a true festival band that will have you wanting more and more. Kings of Leon tribute Kings of Lyon Fantastic news for Fake Festivals, we have managed to secure the UK’s finest tribute to the Kings of Leon to perform at the festival this year. The Kings of Lyon are from East Yorkshire and were the original Kings of Leon tribute band who started just when the originals broke into the UK market.

A well known Sin Eater had a garden full of herbs and their home was derelict but the Sin Eater knew all about herbs, and nettles in particular. There is no better way that cleaning your body then in a boiling of Nettles. This contradicts the dirty vagrant description of the Sin Eater. Aneurin Vaughan ( a name meaning noble) was a devoted bible man who gave sermons to the congregation about the care of the soul. But there was another aspect to Aneurin; he was a Sin Eater. There is little known about this healing practice, and the last of the Sin Eaters died out in Wales in 1850.

Sheffield 50+ - The Voice of Older People Heard Nationally

Birch Avenue and Woodland View Care Homes given opportunity to remain open as homes for enhanced care www.sheffield.nhs.uk

Following a four month consultation, NHS Sheffield’s Board has agreed today (5th July 2011) that local care homes Birch Avenue and Woodland View should be re-commissioned as providers of care for people with dementia who have complex care needs and that there should be transitional arrangements to cover current residents who do not have such needs. The recommendation approved by the Board means that, subject to the successful negotiation of contracts with all relevant parties, none of the 100 current residents of the two homes will have to move into other homes, a concern that residents and their family and friends voiced as one of their biggest worries as part of the consultation. The consultation was launched after the NHS Sheffield board agreed, in January this year, in principle to the removal of £2.8m ‘top-up’ funding that the homes were receiving because this did not appear to represent the most cost effective use of scarce NHS resources. Board papers made public last week revealed that the extensive consultation exercise had confirmed that the top-up funding for current operations did not represent valuefor-money but, rather than withdrawing this, it would be feasible and preferable to seek to re-commission the homes to focus on providing care for people with dementia who have complex care needs. Tony Pedder, Chairman of NHS Sheffield, said: “This afternoon, the Board has made the decision to change the historic arrangements for providing ‘top-up’

funding for Birch Avenue and Woodland View, and to instead support the option to re-commission the homes to become focussed providers of care for people with dementia who have complex care needs. “We made this decision after the consultation indicated that the skills and experience of the staff could be deployed to enable Birch Avenue and Woodland View, in the future, to become homes only for those people with complex care needs. This change will remove the need for the historic ‘top-up’ arrangements and provide a better system of payment to ensure that tax payers’ money is being spent fairly and efficiently. “It is our responsibility as a Board, on behalf of all Sheffield residents, to seek to achieve value for money on all our items of expenditure. In so doing, we do appreciate that this consultation has been particularly stressful and worrying for staff, residents and their families. We would like to thank them and all other contributors for their input, views and cooperation, which have been vital to getting us to this potentially mutually beneficial way forward.” Dr Richard Oliver, a GP in North Sheffield, and a lead clinician for NHS Sheffield said: “The decision to seek to re-commission the homes as providers of enhanced care is great news for the city. With an ageing population it’s more important than ever that we get the care we provide for older people right. As homes for people with dementia who have complex care needs, they will provide high quality care to the people who really need it. As a GP I can say that I’m really pleased with this outcome for patients in Sheffield.” Following this decision, NHS Sheffield will work with local providers including Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust and the Housing Associations to implement these changes.

LOCAL PARTNERSHIP IN AID OF GOOD CAUSE A special partnership between Yorkshire’s leading running event and a leading regional cancer charity has been formed to help the fight against the disease. The Bupa Great Yorkshire Run has chosen Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity as the benefiting local organisation as part of this year’s race taking place in Sheffield, on October 9. Since the race began in 2007 more than 24,000 have taken part in the 10k run, raising over thousands of pounds for dedicated causes across the UK. This year runners will have the option to run in aid of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, as the official local charity. John Mayock, event organiser of the Great Yorkshire Run, said: “Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity was an obvious choice to support as a local organisation for the run. It does tremendous work for people across the South Yorkshire region and surrounding areas. “It is staggering to think that one in three people are affected by cancer at some point during their lives, so anything we can do to support and raise awareness about the charity is crucial. “Entries are coming in thick and fast, but there’s still time to sign up for the main race and junior runs, in October. The event offers the chance to raise as much money as possible for charity, whilst taking part in one of the biggest races in the region.” Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity joins the Alzheimer’s Society, the national chosen charity for all the 2011 Bupa Great Runs across the country. Rachel Thorpe, charity director at Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, said: “We are thrilled that such a well-known and successful road race like the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run has chosen us to become the local organisation they want to support. “The hospital offers fantastic care and treatment to people across the region and as a charity we need to raise £1.3 million every year so we rely on our community to support us, which is why this partnership is a fantastic collaboration. “It would be brilliant if people who are thinking of doing something for charity would sign up to this fantastic race in Sheffield, and raise money to help us make a difference.” Weston Park Hospital is the only dedicated cancer hospital in the region and one of only three in the UK, and has the only radiotherapy department in South Yorkshire. It provides cancer treatment services for patients across the region which means that patients from Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Worksop and Chesterfield, as well as Sheffield and beyond, benefit from donations made to the charity. More than 3,000 people have already signed up to the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run. Entry into the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run is £25 for adults, while youngsters can sign-up to the Bupa Junior and Mini Great Yorkshire Run for just £9. The Bupa Junior and Mini Great Yorkshire Run will take place on the same day as the main race (Oct 9) and involve a city centre route. Youngsters aged 3-8 can take part in 1.5k Mini Run, while the 2.5k Junior Run is for ages 9-15. Anyone interested in running can enter online now at www.greatrun. org.

INNER CITY PUBS STUBBED OUT BEER TIE REFORM VOICE OF THE

Traditional inner city pubs have suffered the most since the introduction of smoking bans in Scotland, England and Wales, a new report has found. Researchers also found that the areas with the greatest levels of closure have been in Labour-held constituencies with an average of almost eleven pubs per Labour constituency, compared to 9.9 pubs per Liberal Democrat constituency and 7.6 pubs per Conservative constituency. Of the ten hardest hit constituencies seven are Labour held, two Liberal Democrat, and just one (Cities of London and Westminster) Conservative. All bar one of these constituencies (Argyll and Bute) are in the inner cities with one each in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh and Nottingham. In Wales every Westminster constituency lost at least one pub. In Scotland only one Westminster constituency has escaped without a single pub closure. The research was conducted by CR Consulting for the Save Our

Pubs and Clubs campaign. Oliver Grifﬁths, director of CR Consulting, said: “The data show large numbers of traditional drink-led urban pubs shutting down. These are in areas with traditionally quite high levels of smoking so it would appear that regulars who used to enjoy a pint and a cigarette with friends have decided to stay at home instead.” Simon Clark, director of the Save Our Pubs and Clubs campaign which counts TV chef and publican Antony Worrall Thompson and artist David Hockney among its supporters, said, “Labour was the principal architect of the smoking ban. It is ironic therefore that pubs in Labour-held constituencies have suffered the most. “The smoking ban is an issue that MPs must address because local communities cannot afford to go on losing pubs at the present rate. The Coalition Government must review the smoking ban and consider options that bring us into line with most other countries in Europe where smoking is permitted in separate smoking rooms or designated smoking bars.”

Last week CAMRA’s Chief Executive Mike Benner gave evidence to the Business, Innovation & Skills select committee’s inquiry into the beer tie. As part of a panel representing the Independent Pub Confederation of licensees, small brewers and consumers, Mike made the case for urgent reform. He proposed the introduction of a legally binding, statutory code of practice for pub companies, with a genuine free of tie option and a guest beer right. Mike argued that the pubcos’ codes of practice that were introduced following the select committee’s last investigation simply don’t go far enough. Mike said:“The industry is already at crisis point. There are 25 pubs closing every week. Rents are too high, wholesale beer prices are too high. The tenants are not making enough money and they are unable to invest in their business; and then they enter this spiral of decline where consumers lose out because the amenity is not there and the pub eventually closes. “The code is ineffective: it’s not being delivered or enforced properly. The only hope now is to put it on a statutory footing - that will protect people.” “This industry needs an effective code that’s properly policed”.

NIGHTINGALE RADIO NIGHTINGALE by Mel Jacques

As the weather is turning nicer and our volunteer numbers are quite high it’s time to venture out from the regular collections in the hospital foyer. Radio Nightingale is a registered charity and each week we collect in the foyer of the Rotherham General Hospital on Monday evenings between 5.30pm and 8.30pm. The visitors to the hospital are extremely generous and we’re really pleased with the contribution this method of fundraising makes towards our ongoing running costs. However we’re making a return to the Tanyard Shopping Centre at Wickersley in Rotherham this weekend, the first of three dates across the summer. All of this fundraising is vital to raise funds to continue the station; however the work that is set aside by our current team of volunteers to cover them is equally as valuable to the service. If you could offer any time, preferably on a regular basis (that could be just one evening per month), to help Radio Nightingale in these collections it would be very much appreciated. Contact us on 01709 304244 to discuss how your availability could contribute to our fundraising. If you don’t have any time to offer but want to support us, please visit our website where you can find out more about our lottery, webshop and search engine which raise money for Radio Nightingale. Or if you would like to be involved in the station in activities other than collecting, on our website you’ll also find an application pack which gives more information about the types of work we need volunteers to help with. Visit www.radionightingale.org. uk to buy your raffle tickets for the Small Charity Car Draw and support Radio Nightingale with your chance to win a brand new Fiat 500 1.2 Pop. Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw and Hospedia. For more information about the station visit www.radionightingale.org.uk Contact us on 01709 304244 for more information on volunteering.

ITʼS GOOD TO BELONG TO A CLUB! CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK by Ruth Cherrington

ON YER BIKE MAGIC AM by Trevor Thomas

Ah yes, I can still remember shrieking for joy when I could finally peddle along without balancing with one foot on the floor every few seconds (We couldn’t afford stabilizers of any other sort!). I showed off to all my family and friends but years later I did skive away from my cycling proficiency test though. If you’re a keen two wheeler, or were at one time or another, you will love our big event that’s coming up in Sheffield City Centre this Sunday. ‘Bikes on the Moor’ simply features scooters, motorbikes, latest bikes from SMC and vintage variations too, so whether it’s a push bike or something a bit nippier come along and join the fun. There will be displays from owners, various local clubs, the AA, Bike Safe, different training groups and the age old favourite sport of Speedway. On top of all that awards will be handed out for the best machine in a variety of categories – classic, custom, foreign and even pre-war. Not forgetting Geoff Hemming and myself will be playing those classic tunes, with perhaps a biking song or two, and giving you a chance to take part in some games and win some prizes. There’s still time if you’d like to exhibit as well. Just go to magicam.co.uk right now to find out more. And even if bikes isn’t your thing you can still have a browse around the shops of course and may be grab a bite to eat. Admission is free – 11am to 4pm at the Moor in Sheffield, Sunday July 17th. Ask nicely you might even get a ride home!

It’s Good to Belong to a Club! At the risk of repeating myself, I will say here what I recently said in this month’s Club and Institute Journal- clubs are good for you! I was responding to the findings of a book written by Washington-based David Brooke that- ‘Joining a club that meets at least once a month produces the same happiness gain as doubling your income.’ Club goers probably already knew instinctively that belonging to their local club and using it on a regular basis makes them feel a bit better about life, even when things are tough. We didn’t need one of Washington’s ‘leading thinkers’’ to tell us that we are Social Animalsthe title of his book- but I’m happy that he has put in writing this fact. It’s further support for what I’ve been finding out more and more as I talk to club members across the country including those who have ‘lost’ their club due to closure. David Brooke’s book is about clubs in general- it doesn’t matter if it’s a chess club or book club- it’s about a sense of belonging and doing something you like to do with other people. It’s about having a place to go other than your own four walls and a chance to unwind and unload doing some activity you enjoy. Our social clubs offer all of these aspects and more. You choose what activities you want to engage with be they games, playing bingo or enjoying a concert. Clubs provide a place See you then to be sociable in and if you want someone to chat to, there will be Trevor someone there. There are always people around to have a laugh with but if you want to enjoy a quiet pint and watch a game or too, you can do so. When a club closes, all of these are lost meaning that some members are left home alone. Recognising the benefits of clubs is something I keep banging on about and I won’t stop! It’s good Has the to have someone on the other side smoking ban of the Big Pond coming up with similar evidence to my own. I & cheap drinks think it was Napoleon who once called time described England as a nation of on our locals? shop-keepers: I think it would be more apt to say we are a nation of club-goers. In the past as soon as you had 2 or 3 people who found they had something in common, they formed a club. At university, students are offered a wide array of clubs they can join (they are called ‘societies’- a bit more posh sounding.) Historically we have been great at forming clubs and keeping them going. Our social clubs are under threat now and we need to rediscover all the positive benefits they offer and to value them a bit more. Let’s switch off Facebook and Twitter and pop along for some real social life!

REVIEW by KT Evans SONISPHERE FESTIVAL

PREVIEW by KT Evans THE GUILLEMOTS

After weeks of preparation, planning and packing, roaming rock festival Sonisphere has now passed through its British sell out tour…and what a weekend it delivered! Held at Knebworth House around thirty miles from London, Sonisphere is in its third year of running as one of the most highly anticipated events on the festival circuit. If classic rock is your forte, then Friday 8th July at Sonisphere was definitely the evening for you. Taking to the stage for the first time ever on British soil, the fondly named ‘Big 4’ aka Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth proved not only that they are the Dons at putting on a winning show, but also have clearly rekindled their passion for performing at summer festivals. Headed by Metallica who rocked the main Apollo stage at 10.30pm on Friday night, the first evening saw copious amounts of fire work displays to get the 60,000 capacity venue well and truly riled up for the weekend’s events ahead. Metallica frontman James Hetfield probably put it best on stage before their encore when saying, "You guys kick ass…” And so damn right he was too. With an atmosphere that could easily blow the roof off (if there was a roof, we wouldn’t have all got soaked on the Sunday night!) and an evident rock connection bringing the fans together, Friday night at Sonisphere was one certainly not to forget. Described as the more ‘pop’ night of the festival, Saturday 9th July at Sonisphere played witness to Biffy Clyro, Kids In Glass Houses and You Me At Six steal the hugely sought-after headlining slots. Although heads slightly tender from the evening before (we’re talking head banging bangovers here) nothing held back the energy or passion for music through a huge turnout for all the bands on both the Apollo and Saturn Stages. An alternative however to the Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro, their first headline festival gig to date, Black Spiders on the Jaegermeister stage provided a hidden gem among the line-up. Having supported rock legend Ozzy Osborne, Black Spiders arguably supplied one of the best live gigs at Sonisphere 2011. An emotional conclusion to an epic weekend of rock carnage, Slipknot made a triumphant return to the UK after the death of bassist Paul Gray on 2010. With a two minute silence held in respect to the musician earlier in the day, Slipknot fans were on mass to show their support for the infamously notorious heavy metal group. Whether or not it be your thing, it is hard to argue against the energy and electrifying passion exuded by the group, which in turn sparked one of the largest mosh-pits known to man. Summed up perfectly by Corey Taylor of Slipknot, "We were waiting this whole tour to say this. Hello Knebworth. How the f**k are you crazy English b***ards doing today? This is not a night for negativity; it's a night for positivity. It's a celebration…" Slipknot proved to everyone that they are back with their fans and ready to take to the stage once again. A kick-ass festival all round, Sonisphere will run from 6-8th July next year with a small amount of tickets going on sale on Wednesday 13th July. See the website for details.

A perfectly suited warm-up for the Tramlines weekend held from 24-26th July, Guillemots are to get the party rolling at Leadmill on 21st July. A hugely celebrated band on the underground indie scene, Guillemots are set to spread their sound onto a wider spectrum, with their gig at Leadmill being supplied to the masses as absolutely free… no excuse to miss out then! A four piece from Birmingham, Fyfe Dangerﬁeld (‘She’s Always A Woman’ which achieved a number seven in the UK Singles Charts) along with MC Lord Magrao, Aristazabal Hawkes and Greig Stewart, the indie / alternative rock group are famed for their full-on live performances which in turn spark huge crowd reactions. At the BBC Electric Proms in 2006, Guillemots performed seven songs with an entire orchestral support, arguably one of their best gigs to date which no doubt won them a huge amount of new supporters. In 2006, the band also performed with Get.Cape.Wear.Cape.Fly and supported Snow Patrol at Wembly Arena, along with various festival appearances under their belts, including V Festival in both 2007 and 2008. Having been off the radar for a little while in recent months, Guillemots have actually been touring the UK with their ‘secret gig’ hats on. Low publicity and kept very much on the down-low, the four piece performed two live shows in Nottinghill in February followed by four more gigs around the country in March. Underground and kept quiet, Guillemots are now back on the road to tour the UK once again. Guillemots’ debut album, ‘Through The Windowpane’ was released on 10th July 2006 and reached number 17 in the UK album charts. Nominated for the hugely sought-after Mercury Music Prize of 2006, the band snatched second place after losing the top spot to The Arctic Monkeys debut ‘Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not.’ Guillemots album however received massive praise, which scored an average of 81% on the overview site metacritic.com. In 2006, the bands single ‘Trains to Brazil’ was given single of the week on Itunes, with Paul Mcartney describing the number as a ‘beautiful orchestration.’ With a history of musical craftsmanship and ability to put on a memorable live show, Guillemots performance in Shefﬁeld will no doubt be one not to be missed. A 100%, no strings attached free show, doors will open at 7.30pm for the main event to follow. 14+. See the Leadmill’s website for more details.

ZENON BAND

The Latest Band from Sheffield that is hoping to make a big impact on the UK. Whenever you hear that phrase, a few names strike in your head, Arctic Monkeys, Reverend and The Makers, Bring Me The Horizon, Def Leppard, and Pulp. So is The Zenon Band ready to hit the big time? Well, to sum up they have. The Zenon Band have performed all over Europe and toured with many well known artists including Status Quo, Six Pence None The Richer, Kate Ryan, and legendary Canadian Singer Bryan Adams. Originating from Poland, The Zenon Band also known as Zee in Poland , were originally formed by their charismatic lead singer ‘Zenon’ Boczar. Their music; a fusion of Rock and melodic Pop with strong melodies and hooks is played with a highly energetic style within their live shows, creating a non-stop party atmosphere with outstanding vocals as well as providing a great musical experience for all. The 5 piece band from Sheffield England, consisting of Nathan Millward, Richard Ashton, Danniel Wright,Chilo Angeleni and Zenon himself recorded their debut album “FALLING” later to sign a deal with Polish Label EMI Pomaton which led to the release of the album in Poland. They have found success in Poland where they have not only reached No.1 in the charts, but they have been featured on a soundtrack for the 2008 film A Broken Life. Interestingly, the song is a duet written by Zenon Boczar and performed by himself and Emilia Majcherczyk who was the winner of the Polish

equivalent to ‘The X-Factor’. Other highlights include being invited to play for the Polish Prime Minister, performing in Warsaw, Poland at the prestigious Miss World Competition and Zenon’s personal favourite was being joined onstage by some of the Miss World contestants who were happy to perform back up and then recorded the backing vocals with him in the studio! Zenon are now hoping to mentioned in the same breath as the other famous Shefﬁeld bands with the release of their UK debut single ‘FALLING’ which is to be released for download on the 18th July. You can also keep up with the band, by following them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/zenonband on facebook at http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/ Zenon-Band-Uk-Poland/ on Myspace at www. myspace.com/zenonband or check their Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/user/TheZenonBand

GEM MOTORING ASSIST URGES DRIVERS TO BE AWARE OF UNUSUAL FOREIGN ROAD RULES With the good old British weather remaining as unpredictable as ever, lots of families are packing up their cars and driving to Europe’s holiday spots for a summer get away. Wherever you’re headed, breakdown cover and road safety organisation, GEM Motoring Assist has important driving tips to make sure you steer clear of confusion over the everchanging rules and regulations and know exactly what to do should you break down. Your Introduction to Driving in Europe is a FREE leaflet from GEM, and a great guide for even the most experienced drivers. Voted the number one for breakdown cover* again this year, GEM’s leaflet features three sections including preparation “Before You Travel”, “Country By Country” information, and what to do “If Things Do Go Wrong”. Being prepared is GEM’s motto, and with so many things to think about before going away including passports, foreign currency, travel and medical insurance, the guide provides you with simple and clear information on what you need to check before you travel, foreign road laws to be aware of, and also what to do in an accident or breakdown situation. Top tips to be prepared: 1. A service – it makes sense to have a service before you go, but as a minimum make sure to check the tread on the tyres, oil and water levels 2. Vehicle Registration Document – keep this with you at all times, never leave it in the car 3. Nationality plate – this must be the approved pattern, design and size 4. MOT Certificate – if your car is more than 3 years old, make sure you take this with you 5. Mechanical adjustments – be aware of the headlight requirements, you may need beam deflectors 6. Driving Licence – take both parts of your licence with you, and if you haven’t updated your licence do it now as the new style is valid in all EU countries 7. Equipment checklist – make sure you have high visibility jackets for each person, two warning triangles, first aid kit, replacement bulbs and a spare pair of glasses 8. Maps & routes - take a detailed map and plan your journey well in advance David Williams, CEO of GEM Motoring Assist said:

“With the holiday season well and truly upon us, we want to stress the importance of being fully prepared when driving abroad. With lots of changing and often confusing laws and road signs, it’s crucial to plan ahead and look into the countries you’ll be travelling in. Our leaflet, along with the European Traffic Police Network at www.motoringassist.com/Europe provides up-todate information on driving in every EU country and highlights a number of the unusual rules and regulations you may encounter.” GEM’s Top Ten Most Unusual Foreign Road Rules 1.In Finland, if you hit an elk or deer you must immediately report the collision to the police 2.Both Spanish and Swiss law demands that if you need glasses for driving you must carry a spare pair with you in the car 3.In Sweden, it is compulsory to have dipped headlights on throughout the day and night 4.If you are towing a caravan in Portugal, you must have a current inventory of all contents to show a police officer if requested 5. In Germany, it is an offence to run out of fuel on a motorway and to make rude signs to other road users 6.In Austria, you must not park a caravan within 500m of a lake 7. In Italy, police can impound your car if you do not present the relevant ownership documents 8. In Norway, vehicles travelling downwards on hilly roads have priority 9. In Greece, carrying a petrol can in the car is forbidden 10. In France, police have the power to confiscate your car and your licence on the spot if you are caught speeding The leaflet also includes a section on what do if you have an accident or in case of a breakdown and provides the all-important emergency number for Europe 112 should drivers need to use it. David Williams continues, “As a road safety organisation we are committed to keeping drivers as safe as possible on the roads and this does not stop when they leave the country. We urge all drivers travelling abroad this summer to read our guide and keep a copy in the glove compartment.” For more information on GEM’s No.1 breakdown cover or to print a copy of the leaflet please visit www. motoringassist.com/leaflets or call 01342 825676 for a hard copy.

PETS CORNER PDSA SUMMER PET CARE TIPS SUN WARNING

It’s not just us humans that need to be careful in the sun. Last year PDSA saw lots of pet patients with sun related conditions, however this is easily avoidable by using PDSA’s ten top tips: 1. Never leave pets in cars, conservatories or caravans even if you think you only be gone for a little while. Even on a cloudy day with the windows open, the temperature can soar dangerously high in just a few minutes, which can cause fatal heatstroke. 2. Try not to exercise pets during the hottest hours of the day, instead go out early in the morning or in the evening. 3. Panting is the way dogs cool themselves. Dogs that are short faced such as Boxers or Bulldogs can feel the effects of warm weather more than long faced dogs, as they can’t pant as effectively. Keep strenuous exercise to a minimum and give them access to cool, indoor areas. 4. If your pet gets too hot, wrap them in a cool damp towel/cloth, change it regularly and contact your vet as soon as you can. The signs of heat stroke start with excessive panting and can progress to fatal collapsing. 5. Make sure that fresh, clean water is always available – check bowls or bottles at least once a day. 6. If your pet lives outdoors in an enclosure or a hutch, make sure there are always shaded areas they can sit in. (Remember, the sun moves position throughout the day going from east to west.) 7. Giving your pet’s fur a trim is a good idea at the start of summer. This will keep them much cooler. 8. Special pet sun creams can be used on areas of white fur or with not much covering hair, to help protect vulnerable areas of skin, such as the nose and, particularly for cats, the tips of the ears. These are available from all good pet stores. 9. Fish can also get heatstroke. Make sure your ﬁsh, whether outside in a pond or in a ﬁnk tank inside, has a shaded area they can stay in to keep out of the sun. 10. When the sun is out people think of gardening, but many garden fertilisers, insecticides, and slug pellets contain compounds that can be harmful to pets. Try and use safer alternatives. PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury, said: “Following these simple tips will make sure your pet can enjoy the sun this summer. Always consider that if you are feeling hot, thirsty and in need of shade, then your four-legged friend is likely to be too.” For more information on looking after your pet during summer visit www. pdsa.org.uk/summerhealth.

Angler’s Corner by Clint Walker

I heard a rumour of a story this week which may have implications for the way that anglers fish in the future.... At the moment, I’m unable to substantiate it, or find out where it’s from, but a contact tells me there are plans from the EU, in 6 years time, to ban lead products completely from angling! After the uproar in the past from the ‘anti’ brigade over anglers being responsible for bird fatalities, I suppose we should have seen it coming, but what if it does happen? I know we have alloy, Teflon and other lead substitute shot, but what about specimen hunters using bigger weights? How about Tungsten? Maybe, but it’s ridiculously expensive to manufacture into comparable size weights and may be prohibitively expensive to retailers too. I’m sure there are alternatives such as crystal/glass type offerings, the Stonze system from Pallatrax (which I am a big supporter of as you know) or a myriad of different others which will hit the market as soon as a lead ban is announced. The marketplace will change drastically as a result; at the moment, getting anglers, especially carpers, to change anything is one of the mysteries of successful marketing. Specimen anglers use leads, and will continue to do so, despite any ban, for as long as they have any leads left and can get away with it, so who will win out if a lead ban were to occur?? My guess is the manufacturer with the biggest ‘celebrity’ endorsement. If Matt Hayes or similar say it is a great new product and will catch more fish, then many anglers will buy into it, just like what is written in the many magazines, (it’s not all true believe it or not?!) and rush out to buy it. If I stand on my box and shout that something else is better, who are the majority (if not all!) likely to believe? ‘Celebrity’ sells and I fear it will be a dirty battleground.......If I get the story confirmed, I’ll let you know. Comedy gold occurred this morning after taking delivery of my new Pallatrax ‘Catchunx’. I mentioned last week that these are a new release designed specifically for catfish anglers and I was looking forward to testing them out. They turned up this morning, and my wife is always interested to see “what’s in the box?” so usually hovers until I’ve shown her. Catchunx come in two flavours, Bloodworm and Stinky Marine, neither of which smell particularly pleasant, but the bloodworm variety are a nice cherry red colour..... You can guess what happened next as I’m sure you’ve done it to your wife too. “Hmmm.....cherry!” as I opened the container; “.... ooh, I love cherry, give me a sniff!” so I did.......shoving the jar under her nose and delighting as she took a good lungful! Oh, how she laughed! Always funny ( well, I think it is) and always worth the resulting slap! I know you have done it too, so don’t judge me!

Racing Form

by Timelord

Another highly competitive weekend of racing is on offer this week. In this country there is a mixture of flat and jump races on Channel 4. Newbury and Newmarket are the flat meetings with Market Rasen offering its usual summer spectacular over the jumps. In Ireland there is a very interesting and competitive Group 3 race at the Curragh, the Minstrel Stakes. 2.05 Market Rasen, Totescoop 6 Summer Hurdle, Handicap, 2m 1f, Listed Class 1: Several horses are on a roll in this one. I like the look of Rajnagan who won easily at Stratford last Sunday. He will be a dangerous opponent if turning out for this. Also on a roll are: Bandanaman; Ixora; Kylenoe Fairy; Laterly; and Street Entertainer, all of whom look similarly dangerous. Plenty of the others look to have fair chances, notably Westlin Winds, Dance for Julie and Viva Colonia. However, the one I like best of all is Philip Hobbs’ Fair Gale who is 2/3 over hurdles and won last time out at Southwell at the end of May in a really good time. Admittedly those behind him that day have not yet boosted the form but he had over 2 lengths in hand that day and has been given plenty of time to recover by his shrewd handler. 2.20 Newbury, Shadwell Stakes, Group3, 6 furlongs: Irish raider Arctic looks as though he has been brought along steadily this year and could now approaching his peak – if so he has a good chance here and I was very tempted to make him the selection. However I am not convinced that this will be the race where he peaks so I have been swayed towards Deacon Blues, who looked quite an improved performer when landing the Wokingham handicap at the Royal Ascot meeting. This is a step up on what he has achieved so far but he looked in good heart at Ascot. Royal Rock is another one that is very capable on his day and the previous Group 1 winners Markab and Regal Parade, both of whom are down in grade here, will test the selection to the full. The three year old Libranno has been running well and also looks to be on the up in a good race. 2.35 Newmarket, Newsells Park Stud Stakes (Fillies and Mares), 12 furlongs, Listed: Never Forget and Gallic Star are two talented but frustrating animals that are hard to catch right. Also talented are Plaisterer, Meeznah, Opera Gal and Ceilidh House. However I am looking to the up and coming three year old brigade for the winner of this race and particularly like the look of Sir Henry Cecil’s twice raced Wild Coco who just gets the nod over another improving filly, Galivant. 2.55 Newbury, Aon EBF Aqlaam Fillies’ Stakes, 8 furlongs, Class 3 handicap: James Toller’s 4yo Rosedale just about earns the vote in a competitive contest. The 3yos in the race look to be an interesting bunch, particularly Elmaam, Matula, Humdrum, Belle Royale, Soorah and Totheendoftheearth, who will provide some stiff opposition to the selection in an open event. Of the older ones Amethyst Dawn, Bella Noir, Bonnie Brae and Heavenly Dawn look the pick. 3.10 Newmarket, ukunpublished.co.uk Handicap, 8 furlongs, Class 2: This looks tricky. Of the three at the top of my system World Heritage is my top rated and has sporting each way chance, second best Benanndonner has been running well this year and has course form in the book, and third best Viva Ronaldo won last time out. All three merit considerable respect however I am going for my joint fourth best Prince of Dance who looks to be peaking at the right time. He may have most to fear from the other joint fourth best rated Take It To the Max who is lightly weighted and put up a really good show on his last two outings. 3.30 Newbury, Weatherby’s Super Sprint, 5 furlongs, Class 2: I often think that this race is not as competitive as the numbers might suggest. This year I really like the look of Lily’s Angel who won well at Newmarket recently and earns the day’s Nap vote. Richard Hannon often farms this race and his unbeaten pair Eureka and Redact look to be the pick of his entries on jockey bookings. However, I think that Brian Smart’s Free Zone may chase home the selection with Signifer close behind – both probably at reasonable odds. Of the remainder the last time out winners Ponty Acclaim, Impassive, Amis Reunis and Imelda Mayhem look to have decent chances. 3.45 Market Rasen, Totesport.com Summer Plate, Listed Handicap Chase, 2m 6.5 furlongs: This is another race where several are on a roll and look to be improving significantly. Top weight Rebel du Maquis is one such but has to give upwards of 10lbs to his rivals. It will be some performance if he manages to do so. Sonny Mullen carries second top weight but has won his last three races, a remark that applies to recent course and distance scorer Ostland. Sun Tzu has won his last 5 races on the bounce and quite easily. Other double winners that are seeking hat tricks are: Schindlers Gold, Pilgrims Lane, Points of View and Majestic Mayhem, while Life of a Luso has won three of his last four, the odd one out being a fall. Add to this a pair of David Pipe runners that both won last time out (Qulinton and Frosted Grape), another last time out winner in North Island, my top rated Stewarts House and one cannot imagine a much more difficult race to solve. This is very much a “pin job” but I am plumping for Qulinton, because I like the form line where he beat Sir Ian - a horse that I reckon could be on the upgrade in quite a big way. Finally I would like to briefly cover the Irish Group 3 race at The Curragh: 3.40 Curragh, Minstrel Stakes, 7 furlongs, Group 3: I reckon that this race may simply revolve around whether Pathfork can recapture his Group 1 form of last year or whether the improving Emulous will prove too strong for him. These two look to me to be a class apart from the rest and in a narrow call I am siding with the in-form Emulous.

MORRISON IN THE MOOD OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

DUO COMMENT ON PRE-SEASON OPENER BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

sufc.co.uk sought comments from youth and experience - Harry Maguire and Richard Cresswell following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield FC. Maguire completed 90 minutes, alongside Neill Collins at the heart of the Blades defence, and hit a post with a thunderous shot in the lead up to Danny Philliskirk’s opener. On the game at the BT Local Business Stadium, Maguire commented: “Obviously pre-season training is always hard so it is nice to get a game under our belts. We have only been back just over a week or so but it seems longer, we’ve had long, tough days on the training pitch. “I am happy to play a full game and I feel really fit and strong, which is a good start. Neill (Collins) was a big help during the game, he talks you through it and is good to play alongside because he uses his experience to take charge of situations. “We now look forward to a game at Worksop on Tuesday, followed by the trip to Malta, which I am sure will be hard work again.” Cresswell, who played the second half alongside Jordan Slew in attack, added his thoughts: “Every pre-season game is a tough workout, especially with a young squad, although I think I bumped the average age up a bit when I came on! “It was nice to get 45 minutes and some of the youngsters got 90, so I am sure the Gaffer will feel it was beneficial but we didn’t get enough crosses in the box and struggled to create too many chances. Having said that, it was a young team and the main point was getting the youngsters involved with the first-team. “I have seen many a pre-season and these games all follow a similar pattern, it was pleasing to see the fans turn out in numbers.”

PRE-SEASON GOING WELL SAYS LUKE MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Just over a week into pre-season and the early signs are looking good for Rotherham United, according to new signing Luke Foster. The defender is one of seven new faces to join the Millers over the summer and the former Oxford and Stevenage man admits it has been a productive start to pre-season. “It has been great, I have really enjoyed it so far,” Foster admitted to www.themillers.co.uk “As I said previously joining Rotherham was a dream move for me so obviously I am buzzing just to be around the place. Training has been productive and professional, everything is done right and everyone is working hard to get our ﬁtness levels up.” Manager Andy Scott has been busy throughout the summer adding new faces to his squad, and Foster revealed that the new faces have instantly gelled with the rest of the squad. “The ﬁrst couple of days are always a little quiet as everyone gets to know each other but now it feels like I have been here for years,” added Luke. “We are all gelling together nicely, which you have to in football because you spend so much time with each other. We haven’t played a game together yet but I am sure we can gel on the pitch as well.”

Doncaster Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of former Leeds United defender Richard Naylor. The 34 year-old joins Doncaster Rovers on a short term contract. The experienced defender began his youth and senior career at Ipswich Town, and spent 14 years at the club, amassing 324 appearances and scoring 38 goals. The 6ft 2” defender then had loan spells at Millwall and Barnsley before moving permanently to Leeds United where he was quickly made Captain of his boyhood club. Naylor has played a dominant part in both Leeds and Ipswich’s promotion pushes in past seasons, and brings height and experience into the Rovers defence. After two seasons at Leeds United, including leading them back to the Championship, Naylor is now ready for a new challenge with the Rovers.

COMMITMENT COMES FIRST OWLS NEWS www.swfc.co.uk

Four days into the Owls’ pre-season training camp, assistant manager Chris Evans has hailed the commitment and professionalism shown by the players in Bad Aussee. The SWFC travelling contingent is based high in the Austrian alps in an area that hosts Spanish giants Real Madrid each summer. Premiership outﬁts Blackburn and Stoke have travelled to the same area this pre-season, while German outﬁt Schalke are also in the vicinity. Evans said: “We have a fantastic facility here in Austria and the fact that the likes of Real Madrid come here says everything. “There’s a good feel here at Wednesday right now. Anyone who has seen the intensity of the running the players have done, with gradients that are quite severe, will agree it has been quite outstanding. “Clinton Morrison is a senior member of the squad and he says this is the hardest pre-season he has done since he was 17. “The manager has booklets from every pre-season he has ever done and the things he has done well he has kept, while the things that have not gone quite so well have been discarded. “And what you end up with is a quality camp.”

ICE HOCKEY By Sarah Youle

Sheffield Steelers owner, Tony Smith, has taken a massive step towards putting fans’ minds at rest by purchasing an extra 1% share in the club, leaving the split now 51%-49% between him and former owner Paul Ragan. The move comes after a number of forums held between Smith and the fanbase, at which the message was clear that the supporters were still unsure about Ragan’s involvement. “I was happy at 50/50” Smith told the Steelers website “I had a legal agreement with Paul that I would have full control and was working under that agreement. It was however apparent that some supporters had some concerns that this wasn’t the case. “I spoke with Paul about me taking the majority shareholding and he was more than happy with that. Paul is happy being away from the Steelers and fully committed to the Cardiff club. He also knows that it is important for the league that the Steelers are a strong and stable club and if this helps do that then he is in full agreement.” The latest announcement in the Steelers “Week of Good News” is that playing legend Tim Cranston will be returning to play for the Sheffield side in the Festival of Hockey on August 27th. Cranston played for the Steelers for the 1993-98 seasons, playing 445 games, scoring 178 goals and collecting 445 penalty minutes as well as being part of the 1996 Grand Slam winning side. “When the club came to me with this idea I just couldn’t refuse” Cranston said, “there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for that club. I had an incredible 5 years there and loved every minute. I had a special bond with the fans. They took to me, they liked how I played and they could see how much I ad the other guys on the team cared for them and the Steelers jersey. We all bled for that Steelers jersey, we did whatever it took to win and to deliver trophies.” Tickets for the Festival of Hockey are available from the Arena Box Office (0114 256 56 56), or for more information contact the Sheffield Steelers office (0114 242 3535).

SPEEDWAY Sheffield Tigers

SHEFFIELD continued their fine run of form with a 56-40 demolition of reigning champions Edinburgh at Owlerton on Thursday. Shane Parker notched an impressive 13-point haul to top score for the Sheffield Window Centre-backed side and he enjoyed good support from comeback man Josh Auty. Auty was back in the side after six weeks out with a broken ankle and scored 11 and skipper Ricky Ashworth carded 10. Sheffield saw off two tactical rides from the Monarchs management to keep them at bay and a strong finish ensured the Owlerton outfit secured all three league points on offer. Tigers owner Neil Machin said: “It’s nice to get all three points and we cannot ask for anything more from the boys.” SHEFFIELD: Shane Parker 13, Josh Auty 11, Ricky Ashworth 10, Emilaino Sanchez 8+3, Simon Lambert 8+2, Hugh Skidmore 6+2, Ashley Birks 0. EDINBURGH: Kevin Wolbert 15+1, Matt Wethers 10, Kyle Howarth 5+1, Kalle Katajisto 4, Craig Cook 4, Tim Webster 1+1, Andrew Tully 1.

Clinton Morrison insists he has the capacity to score over 20 goals for the Owls next season. The experienced striker is currently in the midst of a demanding pre-season training schedule in Austria - an important process that he has missed out on during the past two years. But Morrison is now building that solid foundation in Bad Aussee, the results of which he hopes will be there for all to see. He told Wednesday Player: "I'm feeling really good and getting the benefits of all the hard work we are doing out here. It is hard but necessary. "I've missed the last two pre-seasons because of injury and joining the club later in the summer so this pre-season is really important for me. "I would say it's the hardest pre-season I've had since I was 17-years-old." And as a result of those demands, Morrison is confident he can move forward apace and fire the goals to help Wednesday enjoy a much-improved campaign next time round. He added: "I don't think I had a great season last season. I know Sheffield Wednesday supporters were excited when I signed but they didn't see the one hundred per cent real me last season. "But this season I can put my hand on my heart and say they will see the real me. I feel sharper, fitter, I've trimmed down a bit and I feel good. "If I am fit and in form, I predict I can score over 20 goals and that is what I aiming to do."
