We’re coming to you today with our Positive News round-up for the week, in collaboration with the Doncaster Free Press.
Radio 1 presenter Greg James was given a Red Arrows flypast and lots of support as he cycled his way through Doncaster last Tuesday.
The cycle through Doncaster was part of his most gruelling challenge yet – a 1000-kilometre bike ride across the UK within 8 days, on a tandem!
He bike ride was in aid of Comic Relief, finally completing his journey in Edinburgh on Friday.
Doncaster Peaky Blinders fan Ricky Butler was gifted a vintage vehicle from the era the show was set in. His wife Maria, managed to secure him a 1934 Morris 8 saloon car for his 71st birthday!
For most people, a 90-year-old car might not be top of your birthday wish list. For Butler, this might just be the best present ever.
Sam has gone viral online after his hit song “Somewhere in the Middle” was broadcast on the popular ITV dating show, Love Island.
If you missed his performance at the corn exchange a couple of months ago, you’ll now get the chance to see him on tour again!
Probably the biggest news of the week, Doncaster’s Robin Hood Airport is celebrating a huge milestone in its reopening.
The £160 million funding agreement means the plans to resume flight operations are likely to begin between 2027 and 2028.
No more travelling to Manchester or Leeds Bradford for your flights!
The brand new race set on the Doncaster Sheffield Airport runway takes place tomorrow (Saturday 21st March).
There are 2 different distances to choose from: a 3.5k or 5.8k race, with all finishers receiving a Bespoke Run the Runway Medal.
Both races start in the same place and finish next to the Vulcan Bomber.
Look out for a video on our page soon!
And that is your Don Positive Roundup of the week, in collaboration with the Free Press!
