| Folk club found? |

| The ‘Last Friday Folk Night’ at The Venue, to my knowledge, has now been running for, at least, the last 12 months and has always been well attended.

| ‘Does anyone care?’ response |

| He does not say in his letter if he attends the council meetings or not. If he doesn't, he should do and if he does, no one else need bother so what's the problem?
In light of all the cuts we are... |

| About the white bird… |
 |
| We have seen one in our garden - seen it on and off for about six weeks, but sadly not for the last four weeks.
We’re wondering if it could be the one we have seen in Look Local as... |

| Hunshelf gunsite |
 |
|
Hunshelf is a beautiful walk, leading from Ecclesfield (not Chapeltown) to Whitley and Grenoside passing the tops of Ecclesfield School playing fields.
This used to be the wonderful Ecclesfield Grammar School, which I was proud to attend 1943-48, and I well... |

| It’s Not My Time Yet |
 |
|
Bang, thump!
Silence, tranquillity, this is peace
I am once again running as a boy through the woods.
Playing soldiers with my friends,
Running through the cool woods
The hot sun unable to penetrate down to us.

| It's a wind-up |
 |
|
Come, come now people of Stocksbridge, of course Mr Swift’s letter was a wind-up. He might as well have given his address as Dore or Totley as he was surely just playing on the usual north / south-west Sheffield divide.

You live on a hillside overlooking the bypass. You live in something that looks like a farmhouse.
You have at least four dogs and ride a four wheeled vehicle in mindless circuits around the fields up the hillside, spoiling the grass and... |

| Changes to Station Road |
 |
|
Dear Sir of Madam,
I totally agree with Councillor Jack Clarkson. Bloor is making a mockery out of Stocksbridge folk by summiting so many altered plans for Station Road.
If they are hoping to make changes, it should be down... |

Dear Sir,
The last thing I needed was this. My wife’s car has been vandalised - and not for the first time. I have trouble sleeping and was at the doctors last week due to headaches and dizzy spells.

| Another possible explanation for lights |
 |
|
I agree with previous letters about Chinese lanterns. It's very easy to see if something is being blown at ambient wind speed and direction.
However, there is a natural cause of other lights with very different behaviour. If you have a... |
