“Aspects of Beauty” Suzy Kerfoot
You may recall that in August last year Suzy Kerfoot, a 45-year-old Crosspool beauty therapist who had turned her back on gymnastics at the age of 15, made an incredible return to the sport and clinched gold in the over-45s category at the Adult Gymnastics British Championships.
Her remarkable achievement didn’t stop there—Suzy has now been selected to represent Great Britain at the 2024 Masters Gymnastics World Cup in Boston Massachusetts USA, which is scheduled for June. For Suzy, this opportunity is “beyond what I ever expected or dreamed.” She expressed her joy at being part of the team and competing against other countries in an international competition for the first time.
Suzy Kerfoot’s journey exemplifies resilience and determination, and her return to gymnastics after more than 25 years is a testament to believing in oneself and pursuing dreams regardless of age!
Suzy Kerfoot
Winning the British championships did not give Suzy automatic selection into the team. Since last August Suzy has been training hard and thankfully it paid off. The British team is made up of Gymnastics in the 30s 40s 50s and 60s categories. Suzy will be representing the 40s on all four pieces and also competing for her own individual title. This will give Suzy her position in the world!
Adult gymnasts are not considered part of the “elite” category by British Gymnastics but are still expected to fund various expenses themselves. These expenses include purchasing their Great Britain tracksuit and leotard, paying competition fees, booking flights and accommodation, and managing all other associated costs.
If you would like to Help Suzy raise £720 toward her trip to the MASTERS WORLD GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS, you can donate to Suzy’s Just Giving page.

If you are fascinated by the wonders of the night sky and want to learn more about astronomy and space sciences, you might be interested in joining the Sheffield Astronomical Society. This is a group of amateur enthusiasts who share their passion and knowledge with the public in the Sheffield and South Yorkshire area. They organise regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, at the Ranmoor Parish Centre – 5 Ranmoor Park Road, Sheffield S10 3GX – at 7:30pm.
At their first meeting of the month, a guest speaker is invited to share their expertise on a specific astronomy topic, usually from Sheffield University. However, thanks to Zoom, they have also hosted speakers from New Zealand and Stockholm in the past. The second meeting of the month is designed for beginners who want to learn more about astronomy. The first part of this meeting is a presentation by one of the society members on a relevant topic. After a short break, the meeting resumes with updates on current space missions, tips on what to observe in the night sky in the coming month, and any other astronomy news items.
The group aims to organize free monthly public sessions, where they showcase their telescopes and share their passion for astronomy. Depending on the season, they either observe the stars and planets at night or use special devices to safely watch the Sun during the day. You can find more information about their events and how to reach them on their website. http://www.sheffieldastro.org.uk
