Dear Reader<br />
HHow wonderful it is to have<br />
some sunshine and lighter<br />
nights as we look forward to<br />
exploring the best of South Yorkshire.<br />
72<br />
This spring there are some great events planned<br />
day and night, including a lunar spectacle coming<br />
to Wentworth Woodhouse for We Wonder Noir.<br />
From the moon to our World, Clifton Park<br />
Museum is connecting the vibrant cultures of<br />
Rotherham communities together in a new project<br />
that shares their native traditions through objects<br />
and storytelling.<br />
Another museum telling the story of its<br />
people is Experience Barnsley which is unveiling<br />
a new exhibition in <strong>April</strong> about the former<br />
Slazenger Factory employees who made tennis<br />
balls for Wimbledon.<br />
Genuine people come from nothing and no<br />
truer testament to this is the story of Alan Hydes.<br />
Who would have believed that from humble<br />
Barnsley beginnings, a 50p bat bought from the<br />
Co-op would take him around the world as one of<br />
England’s finest table tennis players.<br />
With the Women’s Euros coming to Rotherham<br />
and Sheffield this summer, we were inspired to<br />
delve into sporting opportunities in our region, such<br />
as the historic Montagu Cup and the country’s first<br />
women’s basketball team which began in Sheffield.<br />
As we head back outside, it’s time to tidy up<br />
the garden. But your garden could also help aid<br />
nature’s recovery. We also share the natural bond<br />
one young woman has with a flock of birds that<br />
she’s given the freedom of flight.<br />
Happy reading<br />
