A cancelled day [Friday] on the KCM Arena field @Stubbin. Week 6 of our Summer of Sport will have to wait for another sunny day.

Meanwhile a hardy few visited Boston Castle in Rotherham.

The Castle is a square, two storey building, standing on one of the highest points in Rotherham.

Boston Castle was as a hunting lodge by the Earl of Effingham in 1775. It acquired the name Boston Castle to commemorate the Boston Tea Party. Boston Castle is now a small visitor attraction with historical information and displays on the history of the Castle, an interactive touch screen, and children’s costumes and games.

There is also access on request to a Roof Top viewing platform for visitors to enjoy expansive views of Rotherham and Sheffield.

Boston Park was Rotherham’s first public park, and was opened on the 4 July 1876 to mark the centenary of the American Independence.

The park was originally laid out with extensive gardens, a cricket ground, a bowling and croquet lawn and an open area for gymnastics. Today the park still boasts an attractive garden area and a large open area for informal recreation. It is also well used by visitors for walking and splashing on a wet and windy day.

While our meetings could be seen as regimented they are vital to protect all of us. Thursday is health, fitness & wellbeing activities and a whole lot of fun. The group took turns playing the drums, singing and dancing while two groups were off for a ramble around the surrounding area.

The guys and gals walk straight onto the field, staying socially distanced, and letting one person in to get hand sanitized and then getting shown where to sit and they’ve all done that just to keep themselves safe and protected.

Wednesday was a productive and fun day by our performers.

A stormy outing yesterday to Pugneys Country Park. 💚 💚 💚

We start the week with a round up of activities. Hopefully the rain that is beating down as I write this, will all disappear before it ruins our field activities @KCM Arena, Stubbin when they resume on Wednesday. 💚 💚 💚

Looks like an enjoyable few days. Sunflowers and icecreams, Laura drinking, Becky fishing, Rachel on a trip to Manvers Lake and Rich enjoying a family holiday and the waves.

And finally, it’s Rich mastering wave jumping on his holiday. Go Rich!!!
