Running clubs for a complete newbie who wants to socialize and wants to get fit again

Hi guys.

I hope someone here can guide me to the right place as I’m interested in getting back into running.

It’s been a few years from when I’d run alittle during Covid so hoping to join a beginner friendly group. I’m a 34 year old male pretty out of shape but determined to change. Looking for a friendly group to help me along the process.

I live around Handsworth area but I can drive to wherever to join the group.

Thank you in advance 🙌

Found a New Gem for Coffee Lovers in Sheffield – May’s Coffee and Tea

Sheffield has no shortage of amazing coffee spots, but I’m always on the hunt for something new. Recently tried out May’s Coffee and Tea on Broad Lane, and it did not disappoint! The flat white was spot on—smooth, rich, and definitely one of the best I’ve had in the city.

If you’re around, it’s definitely worth a visit. Would love to hear if anyone else has tried it or has other recommendations for hidden gems in Sheffield!

The buses used to have the stairs at the back right?

Grew up in Sheffield (moved away when I was 10 in 2013). And i SWEAR the double decker busses used to have the stairs at the back. I still have a childhood friend who never left and we were talking about it earlier and he says he only remembers them being in the front.

I even specifically remember going to Leeds as a little kid and being bewildered that the bus had the stairs at the front instead of the back.

Fireworks

The fireworks seem to have been less this year, but we've still got dogs shaking and too afraid to go out. I'm coughing like my life depends on it, which it does. Are silent fireworks the way to go for the animals and wildlife, do they still produce smoke? Or is a better way drone shows with music?

Small firework displays on the 5th

Hi all, does anyone know of any small-ish fire work displays around Sheffield on the 5th November? I’m not from Sheffield but we’re going to be there for the day, so I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas? I’ve researched myself and there seems to be a lot of big ones which aren’t quite our setting. Thanks.

Where has this carving come from?

I noticed this carving today , by the traffic lights fulwood/Manchester road junction as you leave broomhill towards fulwood. I used to live just along from here and had never noticed it before. How long has it been there? And where has it come from?

Shoutout to the guy who stole my wallet on the 47 bus Halloween night

Whilst you bought £70 worth of food at my expense (at least I'm getting that money back) my card's been locked until Monday morning, which means I've had to miss out on several events with friends this weekend I can no longer pay for, and I'm living off toast until Monday because I was going to do my food shop the next day. Good thing I had enough food for my cats. Oh and I also have to pay to replace my driving license and student card and lost a sentimental photo that was stored in my wallet that can't be replaced thanks to you. You prick.

Butcher that sells organs.

I'm searching for a butcher that sells organs. Primarily eyes, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.

I'd like to teach my children practical biology by dissecting animal organs together.

There would be no waste. I will boil the remains and use it as dog food.

No, this is not a joke, I'm not a murderer. Just a dad trying to educate his kids.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Edit - Much appreciated. Thank you for all the help!

Where to find Krampus/Nikolo schoko

In our household we celebrate St Nikolaus & Krampus coming on 5/6 December to leave small gifts for the kids in their boots. My daughter always asks for the chocolate figures of them. They are made by mainstream brands like Milka and Lindt, has anybody ever seen them here? I’m sure I can find them online but would prefer a local shop if possible. Bonus if anyone has ever seen Nikolo or Krampus themselves in Sheffield 😂

Fireworks from the car

Our house has been struck down with covid (very nostalgic for us really). Is there anywhere we can drive to and park up in the next few days where the kids can see some fireworks without us getting out of the car?

Thanks for any ideas!

Bonfire / Firework displays?

Does anyone know of any bonfire/ firework displays this year. Not keen on botanicals. I used to go to Chelsea Park or Dronfield but they’ve stopped over the last few years and I’m at a loss where to go

fireworks?

I’ve been hearing loads of fireworks for ages and have no idea why?? Halloween was yesterday and bonfire night is in 4 days so it’s not a special day (I don’t think)

Does anyone know why?

Anyone know about the UKCG / Cathedral of Miracles in Hartshead Square?

Someone on the High St gave me a leaflet for this church (it's the 'UCKG', not 'UKCG' as in the title, sorry). Her spiel about giving it to people who are struggling/vulnerable disturbed me. I looked up the organisation and found this:

https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/news/they-made-me-perform-exorcisms-on-others-survivors-of-cult-church-speak-out-over-abuse/

I'm rather concerned that such a shady organisation is operating in our city, does anyone know more about the Sheffield branch? Cheers in advance.

Itbox/games warehouses in Sheffield centre

Hi all,

I wrote before about the possibility of Itboxes in Sheffield. One person kindly replied but the itboxes mentioned are a little outside the city centre. Does anyone know if there are itboxes in the city centre. Thanks.

Illuminate the Gardens worth it?

I’m considering buying a ticket to the illuminate the gardens event this weekend, but at £20 it’s a little out of my budget as a student and none of my friends are willing to pay that much so I’ll be going alone if I do go. Is it worth the money and will going alone be a problem as it seems to be marketed to families? Thanks

Honest parking suggestions for arena

Hello! I’m a bit against using Meadowhall as the overflow, as I’m female and I’ll be heading down after an event alone, so where do you park that’s closer walking distance to arena? Can’t get parking pass for the actual arena as there’s a chuffing funfair taking up half the car park.

Do people legit use and get away with centertainment or one of the industrial estate roads around arena? This is for a weekend evening.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure why it’s enough for downvotes me wanting to be safe, I’m small and can’t really defend myself, plus it’s dark. I know others are gonna be doing the same walk, but do I even trust other fans? Not really, rather pay to park closer thanks…
