It is considered by many to be the ultimate in hand-to-hand fighting. Muay Thai kickboxing is a professional and amateur sport, a martial art, aerobic fitness programme and a useful form of self-defence. But Muay Thai kickboxing is more than just learning how to fight. Muay Thai kickboxing is a strong and vigorous martial art art that teaches self-discipline and self-awareness. It has been passed down through generations for the last 2000 years.

1950s Having it So Good - Cusworth Hall

The display brings together iconic items like a Muffin the Mule puppet, ceramic pieces by Clarice Cliff and a selection of sheet music from the period to cast light on a decade that began with the country still subject to rationing, and went on to include the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth 2nd, the Festival of Britain and the Suez Crisis. Visitors will be able to find out about some of the social changes which took place during the decade, including the first large-scale arrivals of people from the Commonwealth and the beginnings of the pop music industry.

Inaugural Meeting of Lakeside Wildlife Action Group

A few local people, in conjunction with appropriate members of DMBC, have begun to form a group in order to improve the area in and around the lake at Doncaster Lakeside. There are a number of both water and terrestrial birds who have settled in the area. Unfortunately there is insufficient nesting material or sites for the birds to breed. Many people, including families walk around the lake, some specifically to ‘feed the ducks’ and look at the resident birds. This interest in the natural world is so important for younger our generations, as well as to help in the welfare of all of us. Our aim is to improve the habitat for the benefit of the birds but also for the people of Doncaster and beyond so that they can enjoy this fantastic resource. Access is easy for all and the area could be improved for the good of all of us.
