How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

OAKWELLS SPOTLIGHT A PROPER TRIBUTE SHOW It was just 50 years ago, August 5th 1968, and the Yarborough Club in Bentley was packed to the doors for Bill O’Neill’s tribute to the popular Entertainment Journalist Neil Sanderson , who was leaving the Doncaster Evening Post to join Yorkshire Television.

He was presented with a gold wristwatch by football referee Jim Finney on behalf of all of us. Two comperes shared the jub, the urbane Bob Fox and Johnny Williams, who had to cover a hitch at the beginning with a flow of gags. Microphone troubles plagued Sean Glenn for a while, but his fine voice won through with a well-chosen selection. Then some big laughs generated by Stan Richards (long before his television days) many at the expense of Barnsley Town Council. He ended giving the Warsaw Concerto on piano, toothless and in his cap!

Then followed the young magicians, Tony and Tania, with the act somewhat enlivened by a chap who claimed that their handcuffs were not the genuine article and that he could get out of them. Then, after much effort, he found he couldn’t and had to beg to be released, to audience delight. On absolutely top form there followed Tony and Pauline Dru, their soaring voices making the best of varied selections, and ending with a stunning duet Il Traviatore, while Tony trawled round the room.

Following the inevitable bingo, all the way from London came Lennie Peters,not yet a national figure but well known and regarded in Yorkshire. He gave a touching tribute to Neil Sanderson, then sat down at the piano and held everyone spellbound, finishing with a jumping “Honky Tonk Boogie” which almost took the roof off.

Johnny Noble is a most talented guy, but he found all this difficult to follow. With his skills on trumpet with hindsight he would have done better to have just got stuck into the music. Geoff Adams wasn’t having any of it. His set had nothing particularly new in it, but you could sense haw hard he was working and it paid off, with him finishing and everybody joining in a rousing “”Dellah”..

Was it a mistake, putting a comic on last, at such a late hour? Er-no. On bounded Astor, full of.energy. He seemed to be everywhere in the place at once, finally setting up his “camp” half way down the room from where he made forays to different parts, creating great gales of laughter. Hand on heart I can say I’v never seen him on better form. All in all, it was a truly memorable night.

Music came from he resident duo at the Yarborough, augmented by Geoff Shaw and Helga on keyboards and the inexhaustible Derrick Round on drums.

And finally I should like to thank the folk who have wished me well during my recent health problems. I appreciate it very much. www.theclubmansguide.co.uk
