Junior Badminton Club
Stephen Hill Junior Badminton Club has some vacancies!
If you are between 10 and 18 years old and enjoy playing badminton, you might be interested in joining Stephen Hill’s Junior Badminton Club.
The club meets every Thursday evening from 6.30pm to 7.30pm at the Stephen Hill Methodist Church, Manchester Road, during the September to Spring Bank Holiday school term time, to play mainly doubles competently with other members on the one court available.
The club welcomes players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.
The fee is only £5per half term, which is very affordable.
Badminton clubs like this one are fantastic for developing not only individual skills but also a sense of team spirit. The unique environment of the club’s single court with a low ceiling can indeed promote an aggressive style of play, pushing players to refine their smashes and drops.
It’s this strategic finesse, coupled with the technical training, that prepares young players for the fast-paced challenges of badminton, all while building the camaraderie that’s essential in any team sport.
The club’s long history of 40 years (not with the same personnel) is testament to its enduring appeal. It demonstrates the commitment to encouraging a love of badminton in the community.
If you would like to have fun and improve your badminton skills, please don’t hesitate to contact Bob Townrow, Tele: 0114 2301098, E-mail: towniesrm@talktalk.net
Friends of Lydgate Green

These individuals dedicate their time and skills to ensure that these green spaces remain vibrant and welcoming for all to enjoy. Their work not only involves the physical labour of planting and upkeep but also the knowledge of horticulture to select suitable plants and maintain them throughout the seasons. The result of their commitment is a testament to the power of community spirit and the shared value placed on natural beauty and communal well-being.
While their contributions may sometimes go unnoticed, the lush flower beds and manicured lawn edges stand as a silent tribute to their passion for gardening and their love for the community.

The bliss of decluttering one’s home is not just in the discovery of long-forgotten treasures, but also in the opportunity to pass them on for others to cherish.
The car boot sale, a staple of British culture, epitomizes this spirit of renewal and exchange. It’s a place where memories are shared, bargains are found, and the simple pleasure of a community gathering under the open sky—or even a cloudy one—is celebrated.
Despite the unpredictable UK weather, the promise of good company, a delicious meal at the Crosspool Tavern, and the thrill of the find, draws a dedicated crowd. It’s a reminder that what may no longer serve one person can bring pleasure to another, and in doing so, contribute to a cycle of sustainability that benefits all.

Sheffield Community Engagement Work
Sheffield City Council is actively seeking innovative ways to engage with residents who typically remain unheard in discussions about active travel.
Their strategy includes creating inclusive and accessible environments that encourage walking, cycling, and other forms of non-motorized transport.
By prioritizing the design of safe and attractive routes, the council aims to support a shift towards more sustainable and active modes of transportation.
It is hoped that this approach will not only promote physical health but will also address social justice by ensuring equal access to active travel options for all community members.

Crosspool Olympic Athlete
Despite his impressive time of 9.97 seconds in the Olympic 100m semi-finals, it was not enough for Louie Hinchliffe to secure a spot in the final.
