A Great Night Out!

If you want some good old fashioned Saturday night entertainment then go and see the Stars In Our Eyes charity Roadshow who perform throughout the region. 

Sales Manager for Clark & Partners, Louise Pearson, did just that last Saturday at Manor Social Club in Sheffield. Clark & Partners have worked with the charity for a number of years and are proud to sponsor and support them as they raise money for such great causes.  The most recent event was to raise funds for SRSB, Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, the final figure at the end of the night was around £800 which was fantastic.
The evening included a charity auction along with a great show from the Stars in our eyes roadshow. The Major of Sheffield was in attendance and helped with the auction, his favourite item has to be said, was the signed Sheffield United football shirt as an avid blade I’m sure he was tempted to bid himself!

For anyone who hasn’t seen the charity roadshow it really is an experience and great value for money.  Acts perform songs by favourites such as Cher, Freddie Mercury, Abba, Sandy Shaw, Duffy, The Drifters and Bananarama.  The team give their time free of charge and put 100% effort into every show, working hard from set up right through to the end of the night which is often very late.  The costumes are amazing and the singers have fabulous voices, the lighting show resembles something you’d expect to see in an arena setting.

Louise said “I’ve seen the show 3 times now and there’s something different every time, I’d recommend it to anyone as there’s something for all age groups.  It was a late night for my parents but my mum was up dancing and thoroughly enjoyed the show.  The charity are great to work with, they give so much of their time and work hard.  We all had a great night out and the venue was heaving with lots of people dancing the night away so it certainly looked like everyone had a good time.”

How to get more from power chair and scooter batteries

How to get more from power chair and scooter batteries

Here is an additional bonus tip to ensure you or your grandparent’s Scooter or Powered Wheelchair battery lasts as long as possible.

Historically advice given to users was not to leave their batteries ‘on charge’ for long periods of time but to charge them at the start and end of each week. However, the introduction of more of more sophisticated battery technology means that we now advise the following 10 stops to prolong battery life…

1) Charge the battery for 12 – 24 hours before initial use.
2) For the first month carry out only full cycle charges – refer to the battery manufacturer for more details.
3) Avoid running the battery completely flat.
4) If the battery has run completely flat – ensure the battery is then charged for 24 hours.
5) When vehicle use is finished, place on charge until next use.
6) Never store used batteries in a discharged state.
7) Always use the correct type of battery.
8) Always use the correct type of battery charger.
9) If batteries are not going to be used for an extended period, charge them for 24-36 hours prior to disconnecting and storing at room temperature.
10) Where possible, store all batteries as close to room temperature as possible – avoiding storing them in cold store rooms or overnight in vans.

The Jive effortlessly blends indoor agility with outdoor high performance, but you don’t know have to take my word for it. Call Clark and Partners on 0800 7833 832 to demo the Jive and try to for yourself.
