EHello thereI was extremely shocked to learn of the sad news in Paris whilst travelling back from JCI World Congress in Japan. After spending a week at this JCI international event which was all about uniting people from all over the globe for peace and to come together to make a positive impact, it made it even more poignant to learn of the traumatic news of the recent devastating and traumatic attacks in Paris.

As we are nearing the end of the year, I am proud of all that we have achieved to ‘be the change’ in Sheffield this year and the difference we have made on our members and our local community. Our hard work was recognised by picking up several awards at the recent JCI Yorkshire Regional Awards ceremony in Rotherham, which included awards for best chamber and for our community program and of course we are all thrilled to bits that our very own Neal Stirk won the most outstanding member in the region award! A massive achievement! We are now eagerly looking forward to the JCI UK National Conference later this month where we hope to take home yet more national awards.

It was great to see so many members attend the 2016 planning drop in session by our Deputy President Gareth Carson who will be leading the chamber next year. The ideas that are already starting to be developed are set to make next year an awesome one and will continue to keep Sheffield in high regard on both a national and international level.

One of the highlights for me last month was being able to join our business tour of Outo Kumpu, one of Sheffield’s most well known and successful manufacturers. Our Business & Partnerships Director Katie Jackson has been working on securing this exclusive tour for more than a year. With over 100 years’ of experience and production facilities spanning from China to Mexico, the company were able to produce and deliver over 2,554,000 tonnes of steel the previous year.

We celebrated the centenary anniversary since the JCI global movement was founded by holding a birthday party. What made it particularly special was being able to give out cheques to small local voluntary and charity groups who successfully applied to our project impact 100 small grants program. We even got international coverage of our party in a roundup of global celebrations by JCI world HQ!

I look forward of seeing many of you at National Conference in Barnsley.

Best wishes,

Mark Smith2015 PresidentJCI [email protected]

be the CHANGE

With only one week to go until we welcome you to Barnsley for the JCI UK National Convention 2015, we wanted to make you aware of a few points, give you some tips and hopefully answer some questions you might have. If you have any qestions about anything please email [email protected]. It’s quite a long one, so you might want to grab a cup of Yorkshire Tea, put your feet up and have a read.

TravelWe’ve delegates coming from not just all over the UK, but Europe as well! Looking at the delegate list, it’s looking like a mini European Conference! We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get here, so if you could let us know what your travel plans are, and where we can, we’ll put people in touch with each other in case you can car / taxi / transfer share.

If you can let us know what time you plan on arriving and also, if you’re arriving by plane, the date and time of your arrival, what flight number you’re on, what airport you’re flying into and if you have already sorted transport from the airport to the convention. With this information, we’ll be able to help connect members together and make sure the journey is a smooth as possible. Likewise, if you can let us know what time you will be departing, and if you’re flying out, the date and time, the flight number and the airport you’re flying from, again, we’ll do what we can to help.–If you are driving here, there is ample car parking on site, although it does get busy on a Friday evening from 17:00 – 19:00 due to the Gym that shares the carpark with the hotel, although you should be fine.

The nearest Train Station is Dodworth which has regular direct train services from both Barnsley and Sheffield and is only five minutes’ walk away from the Convention Hotel. Alternatively, Barnsley train

station is a short Taxi ride away and shouldn’t cost more than £10.

Speaking of Taxis, if you’re staying at the Holiday Inn (convention hotel) then you won’t need any. If you’ve staying at either the Fairways or the Ibis (previously the Ramada Encore), they are both approximately 5 – 10 minutes’ walk, or a very short taxi ride away. If you are staying in the Premier Inn in the town centre, then a taxi would be your best bet and will cost under £10. We would recommend using Blueline Taxi’s as they are the biggest operators in the area. Their number is 01226 24 44 44. For those of you used to using Uber, unfortunately it hasn’t reached Barnsley yet, but Blueline do have an app for both Android and IOS, just search for Blueline Taxis Barnsley Ltd in your App store. This app has all the features of Uber so should be easy to pick up and use.If you are planning on using the bus to get to the hotel, the services that run to the convention hotel are 20, 21, 21A & 22. To help plan your journey within South Yorkshire, you can use the Travel South Yorkshire Website.

The Convention HotelThe convention hotel is the Holiday Inn, Dodworth. The full address is

Holiday Inn, Barnsley Road, Dodworth, Barnsley, S75 3JT

If you are staying at the convention hotel, you can check into your room from 14:00 onwards and check out is at 11:00. Guests of the hotel also get complimentary use of the Bannatyne fitness club that is on site. If you are interested in using the club, just ask at

a tenner! That’s why we’ve created a video to show you how to tie your toga and join in the fun! The link to the video is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKr8ZOaugk

Debating Past

to Present

It was a pleasure for the SJCC debating team from the 1990’s to debate against the current JCI Sheffield team in September.

There are a number of differences between debating now compared to earlier and these quickly became apparent to us oldies (Judy walker, John Wilson and Chris Walker). Three quick-fire debates, however, enabled us to get the hang of it.

The main differences, in no particular order, appear to be:

Standardisation of Rules – Today’s rules are based on JCI guidelines so, presumably, apply worldwide whereas in “our day” there were lots of regional variations. Our verdict – comfirmation is helpful.

Dress – Oldies team in best suits, current team smart casual. You used to lose points for an un-buttoned jacket. Our verdict – we prefer business attire but far more important to get people involved and if casual dress helps then casual it should be.

Interruptions – The opposition are now allowed to interrupt a speaker with a point of information. This was not allowed in the 90’s. Our verdict – no interruptions; you have to make the most of your allotted time.

Four Person Debating – Today’s debates appear to be 2-3 person teams with motions agreed on the evening. This format was used in the 90’s but the main form of debating back then was 4 person, average speaking time 6 minutes, with motion and proposition / opposition agreed a couple of weeks in advance. The YRG Topic Trophy was keenly contested, to say the least, and Sheffield had a very good record of success.

This house – The motions in the 90’s etc were “This house believes…..” or “This house regrets…..” whereas the scenario in our debate was government-ish. Our verdict – not important.

Recently we had our Alumni vs Current Members debating competition. After the Alumni winning the competition we caught up with Jacky and John Wilson from the Alumni team to find out more about how debating was in the 1990’s and how the long standing competition has changed over the years.

Participation – Always difficult to get people involved as public speaking is widely recognised as a daunting activity. We feel it is important for the leadership team to encourage participation as the benefits of public speaking are wide ranging and it is an area where JCI has a competitive advantage over companies in-house training offerings.

Fun – Debating in the 90’s was fun – nothing has changed. We loved it and thanks for the invite.

Pet food BankPet food Bank As you may know by now we here at JCI Sheffield like enriching the people and animals of Sheffield lives. We’ve done alot of good this year so far but we’re far from finished yet! We’re currently collecting food and other items for the RSPCA Sheffield. We’d like wet food for Dogs and Cats. This food greatly helps the Dogs and Cats when they come in and are in need of calories when underweight. But we aren’t just collecting food if you have any old toys that your pets just aren’t interested in or any teddies (Animal friendly ones of course) that you children don’t need anymore? These items would greatly help the charity and more importantly help the pets for a variety of reasons so if you can help the residents of the RSPCA Sheffield out they would greatly appreciate it.

The shelter costs over £2000 a day to run their continous care for the animals. This money has to be raised in the Sheffield area only, by staff and volunteers through fund raising, donations and legacies and all the help you can provide is much appreciated and needed. The RSPCA Sheffield Branch, based in Attercliffe, is made up of The Sheffield Animal Centre which rehabilitates and rehomes unwanted, neglected and abandoned cats and dogs. We neuter, vaccinate and microchip every dog and cat which comes to the Centre, prior to adoption and a Welfare Veterinary Clinic which offers reduced-rate neutering, vaccinations, flea/worm treatments and microchipping to people who are on low incomes and in receipt of certain benefits. The RSPCA Sheffield Branch cares for animals big and small, each with their own story to tell. Give them somthing special this christmas with some tasty food and toys to make their christmas fun! If you are wanting to donate food please provide either Pedigree or Whiskas brand.

On the following page is just two of the animals that are looking for loving homes this christmas. Although a big commitment the joy they bring is priceless. Visit the RSPCA Sheffield Branch website for more information on how you can help, adopt and more. www.rspcasheffield.homeip.co.uk

If you have anything to donate please bring it to a JCI Sheffield event or Email: [email protected]

LucianoApprox Age: 9 years Sex: MaleColour: Tan and WhiteSize: LargeStatus: AvailableLocation: CentreSuitable with children? 10+Suitable to be left 4-5 hours once settled in an environmentMinimum fence: height 5-6ftAdoption Fee: £100

Meet Luciano! This larger than life character is already a canine senior citizen but he is looking for a life full of love and excitement after spending much of his time tethered on a garden. He has missed out on so much and can`t wait to be part of a family where he can be the centre of attention and have lots of cuddles and fun! He is a very friendly lad and despite his age, he still has quite the spring in his step. He loves to be out strolling, exploring, sniffing and just enjoys being out and about in good company. Luciano is looking for a retirement home where he will get lots of walks and can have ac-cess to a garden as and when he needs it whilst he adjusts to life in a home. He is really looking for-ward to finding a fab new home and we can`t wait to see him find true happiness. He has a big smile on his face whilst he is with us - imagine how happy he will be in a new home! :D Please help us to find this big fellow the home of his dreams, he really deserves it!

EddieApprox Age: 3 years Sex: MaleColour: Black and WhiteStatus: AvailableLocation: CentreSuitable with children? Any age children, we will closely monitor meet and greets to ensure all parties are happy.Adoption Fee: £65

Meet Eddie - this wonderful boy was brought to the centre when his owner unfortunately could no longer care for him anymore. He was in a bit of a sorry state on arrival here, very underweight, with poorly skin and generally feeling under the weather but Eddie has gradually started to feel better and he is now ready to start looking for his forever home. He had a poorly tummy when he first came into our centre, but a special diet has really helped him and although he is still on the diet, we are hoping that he will be able to be weaned off onto regular cat food over time, although we cannot guarantee this. This handsome guy is very affectionate and outgoing and simply loves to be around people - any people! He loves everyone and is very vocal and chatty, always on the go, looking out for things to do and people to meet. Eddie enjoys playing with his toys and is very entertaining and when he finally slows down, he loves a quick cuddle and snooze on a lap before getting on the move again! Eddie is looking for loving and understanding owners who will give him the stability that he needs - we think he would make a great addition to most loving households. Is Eddie the feline for you? Are you the one to turn his fortunes around?

In October JCI celebrated its 100th Birthday (Hooray) and to celebrate in style we held a party at Bloo 88 with a few classics such as a birthday cake and the timeless pass the parcel game! We also celebrated by presenting cheques to the lucky organisations who successfully applied for a donation from our project impact 100 small grants scheme. The funds had been generated several years ago fro, when JCI Sheffield use to organise The Lord Mayors Parade. We had a number of strong applications and the panel had an extremely tough time choosing between them all. The successful group included:

• Woodland View Dementia Support Group - fund equipment to play music for their residents• Sheffield 50+ - to purchase smart phones that can be used to teach older people how to use

the devices• WICAT (Women in Construction, Arts & Technology) - to fund volunteer expenses• Darnall Community Development Centre - to fund training sessions for young people at risk

of offending for young people

What made the evening particularly special, was that it gave the opportunity for representatives from each of the voluntary and community groups to network with each other. As a result of the evening, some of the groups have already arranged to meet up with each other to mutually help one another. As this was so successful, we are considering what we can do next year to encourage other voluntary and community groups to get together in order to connect and collaborate with each other.

We’ll hopefully be updating you all here in the coming months how the money has impacted the organizations so stay tuned for updates!”

championships, with fellow team members Charlotte from JCI Rotherham and Rafael form JCI London. None of us had debated at world level before and all shared nerves, but we were delighted to make it through to the final, culminating us in us being against the motion that ‘assisted suicide should be made legal for people with terminal illness’, competing against a team from JCI Sweden.

There was also of course time to go to several parties, each with a different country theme where we got to taste different foods and drink. There was also the traditional annual ‘global village’ where the JCI UK stall gave out samples of gin and tonic and cadburys chocolate, whilst covered head to toe in union jack! Our stall was a great hit with the delegates!

At the World Awards ceremony, we were delighted that JCI Sheffield’s ‘Time to Rise’ project was shortlisted in the top 4 projects in the category for ‘best economic development project’

As this is the special year in which we are celebrating 100 years since the JCI movement started globally, a time capsule was created at World Congress that will be buried at JCI HQ. At the President’s inauguration gala, 2016 JCI World President Pascal Dike from JCI Nigeria and 2015 World President Ismail Haznedar started a champagne tower.

Of course as well as working hard during the day at congress, we also had to give our attention to sampling the culture which did include a few visits to a couple of karaoke booths! For the equivalent of around £15 per person, you could hire a karaoke booth for a couple of hours which also included drinks. On our first night in

One of the areas of opportunity I absolutely love that JCI offers, is the international element. I was very pleased to represent JCI Sheffield with Deputy President Gareth Carson and member Matthew Wong as part of the JCI UK delegation to JCI World Congress in Kanazawa, Japan this month. If it wasn’t for the opportunities JCI presents, I really don’t think I would ever have dreamed I would get the chance to travel to the other side of the globe. I’m told that 14000 JCI members attended this years congress.

The opening ceremony gave us the opportunity to dress in union jack outfits to cheer on each national president who was welcomed in turn on to the stage. Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako was one of the VIP guest who addressed delegates.

One of the highlights from the congress was getting an invite to join members of the JCI UK National Board for breakfast with members of the USA Executive Board on one day then with JCI Japan Executive Board on another. I was amazed to learn that JCI Japan has over 42000 members and over 650 local chambers!

I was very pleased to deliver my training session on an ‘introduction to event management’ that was well attended. Despite many delegates sharing that they had quite substantial experience of organising events in their opening introductions, everyone said they had learned something by the end of the course. One of the key things that they said they would take away was the health and safety section and models for assessing risk.

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to captain the JCI UK debating team in the world debating

Kanazawa before the start of congress, we asked for directions to a karaoke bar from passers by, who then not only showed us the way, but also joined us for a singing session!

I found the culture to be very friendly and considerate and the environment a very safe one to be in. I know some delegates who left their phone on a table went back for it later to find it still there. I was also fascinated to see several Japanese locals scurry by with masks around their faces. Apparently it’s for those to wear who have a cold to help reduce the risk of spreading their germs to others.Mark SmithJCI Sheffield 2015 President

Women in Construction, Arts & TechnologyFollowing on from our 100 Year Grant Scheme we had a chat with Cariad from Women In Construction, Arts and Technology. The project is a dynamic organisation run by women for women to promote and support women in non traditional trades.

The project is based at the Women’s Construction Centre in Burngreave, Sheffield.

Name: Cariad Thomas-Cooke

Age: 31

Role: Volunteer

How did you first get involved with Women in Construction, Arts & Technology and how long have you been a volunteer?

Started volunteering on a community project to build a Potting Shed/Greenhouse on a local community allotment.

Tell us about what you actually do with the group?

Learn construction skills, help maintain WiCAT’s building, take photos, help with administration & finding funding, helped to build the ‘Potting Palace’.

What are your aspirations and ambitions?

I’d like to work in the construction industry and become an electrician. I like to share my building skills and help with more community projects & friends & family.

How has volunteering had an impact on you?

It has considerably improved my confidence and knowledge of craft skills. Through WiCAT I have met people from other organisations which has enabled me to get a bursary to train as an electrician.

What has been the most challenging thing you have faced in this role?

Everyone has been so helpful and committed to teamwork that I’ve never felt alone with any challenges. At times it has been quite tiring, especially in the first year when we were trying to get the Potting Palace weatherproof before the winter weather was too bad.

What are you most proud of and why?

Learning enough to be able to teach people with less experience how to do basic construction tasks. It’s great to see how people grow when they find they have learned new skills and become more able to help themselves.

How will the grant from JCI Sheffield make an impact on your group?

Finances have been constrained for as long as I’ve been involved. It makes such a difference to have some nice warm food in the middle of a day’s physical work - which the grant will help to pay for.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us?

It was great to discover the JCI existed and meet people involved. The event was really informative and I would have gone to the consultation if it hadn’t been such short notice. Many thanks again, from EVERYONE at WiCAT for the grant and your generosity.

Several JCI Sheffield members attended the JCI Yorkshire Regional Conference on 17th October. This is the first regional conference for many years brought back by this years Regional Group Chair (RGC) Charlie Pearson. The day included running the regional bake off competition, which was the idea of our member Neal Stirk, hold the regional debating competition as well as several debating contests including a team of current Presidents versus previous RGCs. We even had a chance to play some very light hearted physical games in some weird and wacky fancy dress to recreate our old school days!

The conference also gave us the opportunity to share and propose ideas for what we see as priorities for the region next year as well as items that we would want to put into a local time capsule as part of the centenary celebrations since the JCI global movement was created.The event culminated in the regional awards ceremony in the evening. JCI Sheffield were recognised with a heap of awards including:

Chamber Pot ChampionMost Outstanding UN MDG ProjectMost Oustanding Publication Most Outstanding Collaboration Program Most Oustanding CSR & Community Program Most Outstanding Contribution to the Region by a Member - Ryan PilkingtonMost Outstanding Member - Neal StirkMost Outstanding Local President - Mark Smith Most Outstanding Local Chamber
