Sheffield Sharks Ski Club was formed in 1990 to promote children's skiing, both at recreational and competitive levels. In 2004 the club became the CCPR UK Sports Club of the Year. The club is run on a voluntary basis by an elected committee of parents, with a dedicated team of instructors.
The club meets at Sheffield Ski Village on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings. Members of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of a club environment as they progress to become expert skiers. Older members have the opportunity to become ski instructors themselves, and often instruct the younger children on the Saturday sessions.

Tara Whelan (Irish: Tara Ó Faoiliain) was a 17-year-old Irish student who was killed along with four other civilians, three Turks and a Briton, in a terrorist attack in July 2005, while on holiday in the Turkish resort of Kusadasi.
Attack
She was on the last day of a holiday with two friends when she left them in their hotel room to go shopping for gifts for her family and friends. Presumably on the way to a market, the bus she was travelling on exploded after a bomb had been planted on it. Kurdish separatists were blamed for the attack.
Requiem
Her remains were flown back to Ireland and taken to Cork University Hospital. She was later taken back to her native Waterford, where a funeral ceremony was held in St. Nicholas' Church in Ballyduff, her home parish, to the sound of a lone piper's tune.
Ballyduff Gaelic Athletic Association Club provided a guard of honour inside the church gate, with classmates from Our Lady of Mercy Secondary School and work colleagues from the Sweep Bar also paying their own tributes. Lyndsey Galgey, who, along with her twin sister Tracey, had travelled with Tara to Turkey for a post-Leaving Certificate holiday, spoke lovingly of Tara before Requiem Mass began.
An audio recording of this speech was broadcast on radio stations across Ireland as well as being played on RTÉ News with an image of the church as the visual with mourners outside paying their respects, as the camera crews refused to enter the church as a mark of respect.
Symbols of Tara’s life were offered during the Mass. A family photograph, a tin whistle (of which she was an accomplished musician at), a script from a local play, a shirt from the Sweep Bar, where she worked during weekends and holidays, and a single rose decorated the altar.
President Mary McAleese was represented by Colonel Ray King while Commandant Michael Murray represented An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. Transport Minister Martin Cullen represented the Government while the Turkish Government was represented by Mr. Kurhan Kongora.
Assistant Garda Commissioner Noel Smith, City and County Mayors Hillary Quinlan and Gerard Barron along with other elected representatives were also present.
The final words by the graveside were delivered by Br. Columbanus, who recited the Prayer of St. Francis.
Irish-Turkish Statements
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dermot Ahern, said in a statement: "I am deeply shocked by this cruel and senseless act. Five people have lost their lives, including a young Irish woman. I offer my deepest sympathies to her family and to the families of the other victims of this tragedy, as well as to those who were injured." The Department of Foreign Affairs reviewed its travel advice for Turkey in the light of the attack. They reiterated advice to "all Irish citizens in Turkey or planning to travel there to exercise caution and to be particularly vigilant at all times."
Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul later insured that there had been increased security measures in the area, especially concerning the welfare of tourists and other foreign-national visitors.
Arrest
The bomber was arrested in Ä°stanbul on 8 April 2006 and is currently being tried in Ä°zmir. He reported that he had mixed with militant circles after having started to live in Germany as an asylum-seeker and had been trained in camps based in Germany and the Netherlands.

A wolfox is the fictional hybrid of a wolf and a fox. Though both animals are indeed canines and often live in the same area, the wolf is of the canis family while the fox is of the tribe vulpini and therefore cannot crossbreed successfully.
The wolfox is used mainly throughout the furry fandom, where those with wolfox fursonas or characters depict them as having a mix of both wolf and fox anatomy, such as fur color, tails, ears, and facial features.

Furry TG art is a type of furry art that depicts anthropomorphic animal characters who are sexually ambiguous. Some are hermaphrodites, equipped with breasts and the genitals of both sexes. Others are androgynous, resembling effeminate males. Still others have breasts and male genitals but lack female genitals. In general, these characters are designated "herms" (short for hermaphrodites).
Characters
Furry TG animals are of many types, including rabbits, cats, squirrels, horses, bears, foxes, and deer. Despite their lack of fur, furry TG characters are also sometimes birds, dolphins, dragons, and even demons. Occasionally, furry TG characters are shown with multiple breasts or multiple penises and testicles. Their male genitals are typically exaggerated to unlikely or impossible dimensions (a state know, in furry TG art, as "hyper-endowed). Although some artists are faithful to the true appearance of animal genitals, many depict the characters' penises and testicles as having a human, rather than an animal, appearance. Ejaculations of semen, however, tend to be far more copious, and, therefore, typical of animal, instead of human, ejaculates.
Artists
Many amateur artists and a few professionals depict such characters. Some artists whose work reflects transgendered characters include Doug Winger, Marc Leonhardt, FoxxFire[http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Hermaphrodite#Places], John Barrett, creator of Roxikat , XianJaguar , and Shipanda (a. k. a. Polaris) .
Web Sites
Several Internet web sites are dedicated to transformation fiction that involves sex changes, one of which is Forest Tales & Other Stories .
Winger's characters
Winger's hermaphroditic characters are hyper-endowed (i. e., equipped, as it were, with oversize breasts or genitals). A professional artist, Winger has worked for the company that produces Dora the Explorer and Angry Beavers . One of his characters is Pandora Pup, who evolved, over time, from a female to a shemale puppy .
Other shemale artists
Other artists also portray shemale characters, although as human beings rather than as personified animals. Such artists include Christopher Leach, Kimberly Wilder, Katy O'Connell, Kinky Jimmy, and many others.
