Appleton fears for Boro’s town return

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

BORO Legend Colin Appleton fears he will never see the club play back in the town during his lifetime.

Ever since the old club were folded in June 2007, two other clubs were formed in Scarborough Town and Scarborough Athletic.

Town also folded after problems finding somewhere to play with adequate facilities, while Athletic, still going strong in the EvoStik First Division North, play their games at Bridlington Town's Queensgate.

Appleton, 78, who took Boro to Wembley three times as manager, said: “I am afraid to say I fear I will never see my club play back in their home town, but I hope I am wrong.

The old Athletic Ground (McCain Stadium) stands derelict

“I know they are trying to get a new ground developed at Weaponness but it just seems to get delayed constantly.

“The chairman is making the best of a bad situation but that team needs to be playing in Scarborough as soon as possible.

“The fans that go to Bridlington and make a 40-mile round trip, sometimes twice a week, and then pay for match tickets are a credit, and show just how much a football team for Scarborough is needed.”

Appleton played at the top flight of English football with Leicester City and then had a successful time with Boro as boss.

He added: “The memories of the Athletic ground and the atmosphere in the stadium will never leave me and the fans who used to go down there every game shared that.

“To see that ground get in a worse state over every passing month makes me angry and for all this time it has not been sold, why could the club not have kept playing on it?

“There are people who know theses answers but whether we will ever find out is a different thing.

“My hope is that something starts to take shape with Weaponness soon and that I will be one of hundreds of fans heading down there to see Boro play.”

Scheme aims to help bring people together

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

COMMUNITY groups and organisations are being offered the opportunity to apply for funding for projects that help to bring people together in Scarborough.

Councillors from Scarborough Borough Council’s Central Urban Area Committee have given the go ahead for £12,000 to be allocated by the successful Voice Your Choice participatory budgeting scheme in partnership with Scarborough Urban Area Forum.

Participatory budgeting is a process where decisions on how public money is spent are made by residents themselves rather than elected officials or officers. The council’s Central Urban Area Committee has been allocating its community grants budget in this way since 2010 and has welcomed residents of the Scarborough Urban Area to participate in open decision making events where they decide which community projects they want to see receive funding.

In previous years over 150 residents have turned out to participate in the voting process.

The theme for this year’s Voice Your Choice scheme is Bringing People Together.

The funding scheme is being overseen by a steering group made up of elected committee representatives and community representatives from the area forum. The fund is open to community and not for profit organisations and the deadline for applications is Monday December 15 2014.

People wanting more information or to request an application pack should contact Kerry Lee by emailing kerry.lee@scarborough.gov.uk or calling 01723 232472.

Ian McInnes is Labour candidate for Scarborough & Whitby

Ian eyes Labour role for Scarborough and Whitby

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

FORMER Whitby Community College and Yorkshire Coast College pupil Ian McInnes has been selected as Labour’s Prospective Candidate for next year’s General Election.

Ian, now an outdoor pursuits executive organising events throughout the UK, plans to replace local Tory MP Robert Goodwill in the May 2015 General Election and become the next Labour MP for the constituency.

Ian was a pupil at Lealholm Primary School, Eskdale School and Whitby Community College. He later went on to Yorkshire Coast College in Scarborough.

Now a Director of Development and Deputy Chief Executive Officer at Widehorizons Outdoor Education Trust organising adventure learning throughout the UK, Ian strongly believes Scarborough & Whitby desperately needs an MP who could lead regeneration of the area so that local young people can have good jobs and prospects without having to move away.

He told local members at his Selection Meeting at Whitby Pavilion: “This was a fantastic place to grow up, I’m so proud of the area I come from. But when I was 18, like so many of my peers, I had to move away to find a decent job.

“That doesn’t need to happen to our children and grandchildren.

“Scarborough and Whitby are full of people with real skills, real motivation and real passion but our

local leadership has become complacent and stale; that leadership needs regenerating or replacing; we need people with drive, vision and passion for our future.”

Local Party Chair Eric Broadbent welcomed Ian’s selection. He said: “Ian knows the area, knows what it’s like to grow up here and knows the struggles that people face day in, day out. He will be an excellent candidate and, when elected, the MP Scarborough & Whitby need.”

Pindar pupils in top charity fundraising effort

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

GEORGE Pindar School pupils Shelby Pickering and Leah Grassby have bean raising money for charity.

The pair both braved a bath of baked beans at the Eastfield School in order to raise cash for Cancer Research UK. The girls raised over £200 with their efforts and received a letter of thanks from the charity that said: “Our funds are raised almost entirely through public donations so we rely overwhelmingly on the support of people like you.”

The girls wished to pass on this message to all those who sponsored them.

A SCARBOROUGH musician and songwriter who has raised thousands of pounds for charity has been shortlisted for a prestigious award.

Neil Fitzpatrick's song Apart has raised around £9,000 for Cancer Research UK, and his efforts have been recognised with a place in the UK Songwriting Contest.

Formed in 2002, in association with The BRIT Trust (of the BRIT Awards fame) with support from the world-famous BRIT School in London, the competition aims to discover and nurture new songwriting talent.

Neil's song Apart, which was inspired by the recent loss of his father and other close relatives to cancer, has reached the semi-finals of the contest, which receives entries from across the globe.

Neil, 41, who's played piano since the age of 11, said: "To be recognised by such an important institution as this is incredible, especially as the subject matter is so

Neil Fitzpatrick personal and poignant to me and my family.”

The song, which features recent X-Factor contestant Michelle Lawson, Wakefield Community Gospel Choir and Helium Strings, has been on sale since June with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK. Apart will be judged on its merits by a glittering panel of music industry experts in December.

The single is available on CD or as a download at www.apartsong.co.uk for £5, with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.

Taylor Vasey (bottom) during his brave skydive

Blind teenager Taylor inspires with charity skydive

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

AN inspirational young man who lost his sight as a teenager has bravely jumped out of a plane from 10,000ft to help Saint Catherine’s Hospice.

Taylor Vasey has a very rare life-limiting condition which causes a hearing impairment and left him blind at 17.

But when he heard that his support worker was planning to do a skydive for Saint Catherine’s he had only one question. “I asked if I could do it as well,” he said. “I thought it sounded like fun, a good adrenalin buzz.”

The idea also got mum Sue’s adrenalin pumping – though not in quite the same way. “I was absolutely mortified,” she said. “I thought he’d never be able to do it.”

Now she couldn’t be more proud after Taylor proved her wrong by jumping from a plane two miles up and raising hundreds of pounds for the hospice.

Twenty-year-old Taylor got involved in the challenge through his support worker, Sarah Thornton. She had decided to do the jump with her friend, Emma Wilson, who wanted to help the hospice after losing two people very close to her.

The challenge was another thing ticked off Taylor’s bucket list. He has already driven a car at 85mph on a driving experience challenge and water skied in Norway.

Taylor has Alstrom Syndrome, a genetic condition so rare that his older brother, Curtis, was already 10 before doctors gave the family a diagnosis for both boys. The condition can cause many complex and life-limiting health problems.

Taylor was born with a visual impairment but lost his sight completely overnight when he was away at school.

He made the decision to return home and says it was the best thing he ever did. Now he is studying at Yorkshire Coast College and is already considering other daredevil challenges.

Mountain rescue team members climb to the top at annual awards

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE courageous and hard work of the members of Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team was recognised at a top awards dinner.

The North Yorkshire Police 2014 Search and Rescue Awards dinner took place in the Garden Rooms at Tennent's Auctioneers in Leyburn.

They were joined by fundraiser Amy Bloomfield and Danielle McLeod, who was representing Touchdown Offices of Easingwold who have provided significant

Local charities banking on top donations

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

A BUILDING society branch in Scarborough has given a cash boost to five local charities as part of celebrations to mark a milestone anniversary.

Yorkshire Building Society, on Westborough, joined branches across the country to celebrate 150 years of the Society helping people save for their futures and buy their first homes, by calling on members of the public to nominate charities to receive £100.

The Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation marked the occasion by giving away £150,000 as part of its annual Make a Difference Week, and five charities in Scarborough have received a share of the anniversary donation.

The charities benefitting, thanks to nominations from local

residents, are: • Filey Lions • Scholes Park Raiders • St Catherine’s Hospice • Scarborough Group for the Riding for the Disabled • The Rainbow Centre Maxine Hartley, manager at the Scarborough branch, said: “Our annual Make a Difference campaign is always very popular, but this year we’ve been able to support more charities than ever before thanks to the Charitable Foundation’s generous donation to mark the Society’s 150th anniversary.

“I’m delighted that five worthwhile causes in our area are part of the hundreds of local charities the Society is supporting throughout the UK and I’m sure the money will be used to make a positive difference in our community.”

Double your donation and help disability group grow

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH and District Disablement Action Group are hoping to raise some extra funds as part of the Local Giving scheme.

This means that any donation to Scarborough DAG under £10 will be doubled as part of the Grow A Tenner campaign.

Scarborough DAG Chairman Ian Whitfield said: “This is an exciting and interesting way for us to bring in some much needed extra funding.

“People just donate their initial £1 or £5 for example and they become £2 and £10, which is fantastic.

“This will help us maintain the work and standards we have achieved over the past 25 years throughout the Borough.”

Royal appointment for Scarborough rescue team

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH and Ryedale Mountain Rescue team were among those who received a share of £8,000 thanks to the Duke of York’s Community Initiative’s Innovation Fund.

The presentations were made at the Initiative’s annual award ceremony which this year took place at the Magna Science and Adventure Centre in Rotherham.

Prior to the Innovation Fund presentations representatives of 43 community groups from across the whole of the county were introduced to HRH The Duke of York as new, 2014 award winners.

Paying tribute to the work they do The Duke of York said: “I take my hat off to you for all the

good works you do… you know how to make a difference”.

Next year Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue team celebrate the 50th anniversary of their formation as Scarborough and District Search and Rescue Team and have never been busier. In 2013 they attended 60 incidents and the running total through 2014 stands at 46.

Receiving the award on behalf of the team Ian Hugill, an Incident Controller from Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, reported that the monies would go towards the provision of personal protection equipment and water rescue equipment for the team’s swift water flood rescue technicians and water first responders providing a direct benefit to team members and those in distress in and around water.

Plant nursery shop re-opens

Deputy mayor Cllr Joseph Plant, Friends chair Dorothy Russell and nurseries head Dave Finch.

Words and photo by Dave Barry (to order, ring 353597).

The shop at a popular plant-nursery has swung its doors open again - after a lot of graft.

The re-opening of the shop at Manor Road nurseries marked the culmination of several weeks of hard work by nurseries staff and the Friends of Manor Road Nurseries.

The busy team repainted the staging, replaced the polythene covering and renewed much of the woodwork.

The project was prompted by the Friends, who raised £500 to refurbish the 15-year-old polytunnel shop.

Dorothy Russell BEM, who chairs the Friends group, said: “This is just the sort of project that Friends groups are for. It is not reasonable to expect Scarborough Council to fork out money for every idea it is presented with and this has given a chance for people who love the

borough to do their bit and make a practical improvement.

“I hope the shop will be well supported now it is back in business and I should like to thank the nurseries staff and the Friends that wielded paintbrushes. I understand none of them intend painting anything green for a long time to come!”

Mrs Russell paid tribute to one Friend in particular, Adrian Perry, for his “sound advice, experience and practical help”.

The shop was declared open by the deputy mayor, Cllr Joseph Plant, who was accompanied by his consort, Sharon Macfarlane.

The shop provides an outlet for the surplus plants that are left over after council gardeners have planted flower beds and other arrangements around the borough.

Buyers can buy the high-quality plants that have helped the council win environmental awards, at affordable prices.

“However, the shop is not a garden centre and so once these limited edition plants are sold, they will not be replaced,” Mrs Russell pointed out. “Gardeners are advised to drop in regularly to see what is on offer.”

Car parking is available next to the shop.

Amusing recollections from the life of a Scarborough parson have been published as a book. Parsonal Diary, reviewed in the last issue of Scarborough Review, was conceived during Barrie Petterson’s eight–year spell as a Baptist parson at Albemarle Baptist Church. To order a copy, ring 314200.

Musicport - one of the country’s friendliest music festivals Words and photo by Dave Barry

Karen Chalmers, seated left, with the church performers. (To order this photo, please ring 353597).

Teacher’s Pupils perform at church Words and photo by Dave Barry A concert by pupils of a village music teacher sold out in no time and was a roaring success.

The performance, at St Thomas’s Church in Gristhorpe, featured 16 pupils of former school teacher Karen Chalmers.

“Everyone performed brilliantly and I am extremely proud,” said Karen, who also sings with Raven.

Karen taught at Overdale School in Eastfield for 28 years until she left in February.

“I began teaching music from my home in Gristhorpe, mainly piano and keyboard, and I'm proud to say I am now teaching over 26 pupils aged from five to 62, from beginner right up to grade eight,” Karen says.

The pupils were joined on stage by Karen and Gristhorpe’s Village Voices choir.

No charge was made for admission but over £100 in donations were made to the church’s fund to replace its corrugated iron roof.

Built as a private chapel for the Beswick family, it is a well-loved building with distinctive charm and colonial-style interior.

It is cared for to a high standard by two deputy wardens.

Generally the congregation numbers fewer than 20, but the church can be packed for baptisms and special occasions such as this.

Musicport has got to be one of the friendliest music festivals in the country.

Strangers befriend one another, willingly swapping life stories, festival anecdotes and contact details.

Having married at an earlier Musicport*, Mrs McB and I passed the evening of our sixth anniversary in the most appropriate way possible – making new pals at Musicport 2014’s opening night at Whitby Pavilion.

To munch falafels, we shared a table in the café area (renamed the Hub) with the knowledgeable Celia, one of a large Sheffield contingent, who had been many times before and wasn’t about to stop.

Later, in Becketts café (a stone’s throw away), I hit it off immediately with another Musicport regular called Mike, who’d been to the desert-blues festival in Timbuktu and the first Womad festival.

It’s always been a testament to the festival’s family appeal that children scamper about all over the place on long leashes.

A toddler thought it would be cool to lie down and roll across the wooden floor between stage and dancers. The charming spectacle was enjoyed by all present including the young klezmer band Tantz, who requested a round of applause for the oblivious youngster.

For at least the second year, a blond young lad wore a cowboy costume all weekend.

No-one seems to imbibe more than they should, which contributes to a relaxing atmosphere that’s perfectly conducive to enjoying terific music from around the world.

Powerful and distinctly different a capella harmonies were belted out by both Slavic trio Perunika, who said they loved being able to see the sea through the big round windows behind the audience, and Zimbabwe’s vibrant, energetic Siyaya.

Other personal highlights included the acoustic

Arthur Brown on stage at Musicport. version of Scottish band Idlewild, who took eight hours to travel south, and the splendid ukelele jam, led by Some Like it Ossett.

But the best by a mile was the inspired pairing of Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and Senegal’s Seckou Keita on kora, aka the west African harp. Their intuitive interaction and fluid string-play was nothing short of sublime. The hundreds of people who witnessed it could have heard a pin drop in between their notes.

At 71, prodigal son Arthur Brown was colourful and amazingly fit, declaring that although he’d been born in Whitby, he had no intention of dying there and he didn’t; most people liked his mad prog-rock and blues.

The various Pavilion stages were complemented by a free fringe festival in the atmospheric cellar of the wonderfully idiosyncratic and cosy La Rosa hotel and workshops at the Royal Hotel, opposite the whalebones.

Next year’s Musicport will be from October 16-18. * At the behest of co-organiser Jim McLaughlin, who’d booked a Bulgarian wedding band.

Choir is town’s biggest – and happiest Words by Dave Barry With 135 singers, the Graham Community Choir is indisputably Scarborough’s largest choir.

Many would say it’s also the friendliest and happiest.

The happy choristers – one third men, two thirds women – clearly derive a lot of fun from their weekly rehearsals at Graham School.

Besides fun, other motivations include the sheer pleasure of singing in a big group and, quite likely, meeting people and making friends.

The spider at the centre of the musical web, pulling everything together, is Bill

Scott, a choirmaster with music running through his soul and a great teacher.

Bill gently guides his flock through each number, which this season has a strong 60s theme and, in preparation for a series of seasonal performances, a smattering of Christmas carols.

The performances are mostly closed to the public as they are at retirement and nursing homes.

The exception is the choir’s Christmas show at Graham School on Wednesday December 17, at 7pm.

No charge is made for admission and food and drink can be taken to consume during the show.

Dear Editor Although we don't live close to the proposed water park we feel that it is in the wrong location totally.

The poor people nearby must be appalled, especially those who have bought flats with a sea view on the barracks site.

Why isn't it being built where Kinderland used to be, away from residential properties? Regardless of the traffic and noise just the visual impact will be awful.

We do agree with the need for such an attraction but not where it will impact so much on the local residents and the value of their properties.

Scarborough Review, Issue 15 - 11

Dear Editor Many thanks for the great coverage of the opening of Manor Road Nurseries and the Falsgrave Park Hallowe'en event.

What I particularly like about the Review is the clear and fresh font and layout.

When I look for our Press Releases elsewhere I sometimes have to search through the paper several times to find them, but those in the Review seemed to come and find me! Keep up the good work.

Best wishes, Eric Russell

Dear Editor I echo the approving comments of Tony Jenkins (Scarborough Review issue 14 ) regarding the quality and media presentation of the Scarborough Review.

As regards his account of the 40 Club debate of a few years back on the question of whether or not Scarborough needed a second newspaper, to which the outcome was a NO vote, my initial surprise on reading of that decision was quickly dispelled with the realisation that at that time Scarborough had a daily (exc. Sunday) newspaper, the Scarborough Evening News, which, for most folk, was an unmissable feature of their daily lives I'm sure I'm not alone in still finding it hard to accept that those days have gone forever and all the more reason, therefore, to truly appreciate the Scarborough Review, a most welcome addition to the local media.

Kind regards Charles Braithwaite, Trinity Road

The Flask Hammond organ was one of the first in the area, and even before that, theatre organist Charles Smitton was playing one at The Olympia Ballroom. The nearest organ dealer was Kitchens of Leeds before Gough and Davy from Hull opened their new Scarborough shop in Huntriss Row. I am wondering if there is anyone still around who was at that very first meeting?

I am also very pleased to see that the 50th anniversary party next May will be held at the Scarborough Fair Collection where I have just finished a very enjoyable season playing the (non-electronic) Mighty Wurlitzers.

If there are any others who were at that inaugural meeting, I would love to hear from them.

Connor Lawlor at his Back To You EP launch night

CONNOR Lawlor’s EP launch night hit all the right notes and was a resounding success.

Back To You was launched at a special evening of live music and entertainment at The regency Central Hotel in Scarborough.

19-year-old Connor said: “I would like to thank everyone who came along to the launch night and made it so special.

“It was a fantastic evening and the turn-out was even better than I expected. I have to say a special thanks to my mum and dad and the staff at The Regency Central for helping out on the night and to all those involved with putting the CD together.”

Connor’s debut EP Back To You is available to download on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Deezer.

Words and photo by Dave Barry A boy with a big heart has raised money for a girl with a big smile.

The boy is Callum Johnson, 12, whose mum Mandy works at Humble Bee Farm near Flixton on Saturdays.

The girl is Angel Sutton, 6,

whose left foot has been amputated and whose right foot is due to be amputated next month, due to a rare genetic condition.

The NHS will fund only a basic prosthetic limb, says Angel’s mum Tina, who has embarked on a fundraising campaign to buy better prostheses.

Yorkshire Coast Radio weighed in and helped Tina raise almost £30,000.

The fundraising continues as Angel, who has endured seven major operations, needs water-proof activity limbs to enable her to swim, paddle in the sea, stand up in the shower, etc.

As Angel grows up, the prostheses need replacing every 12-18 months and cost £6,000 a pair.

“Shoes are also scarily expensive as they have to be custom-made,” says Tina.

Callum responded to Angel’s plight by making and selling hundreds of loom bands to Humble Bee Farm visitors, thanks to owners Julia and John Warters.

He has been making the bands since May, helped by his niece, Caitlyn Murray-Rae, 10.

To date, Callum has raised £220, which he presented to Angel on Sunday. * The fundraising campaign has a Facebook page called Legs for Angel.

Colin Appleton still enjoys attending local sporting events

Colin Appleton fact file

Borough Biography We hear from photographer Richard Maw, owner of Infocus Photographic, about his early career of capturing photos of some of the most powerful people in the world.

The White House

by Howard Mosely - Chalk

My photography career started in the late 80s in the dark room. My boss, an accomplished sports photographer, would go and cover a sporting event and it was my job to print the black and white prints in order for them to be sent to the national newspapers. One day my boss saw one of my pictures and was impressed by it. He invited me to come out with him to the occasional football game.

The following few years were a whirlwind of events, travelling and networking. I would travel to London on an almost weekly basis to cover the meetings of international heads of state at Downing Street, becoming a familiar face amongst the press officers in the process. The more I did, the more ambitious the jobs became.

Capturing the leaders

In 1990 we discovered that Mikhael Gorbachev was going to the USA and figured it would be great to get pictures of him and President George Bush. On arrival in DC, I made my way to the media centre to pick up my accreditation.

The very next day I was given 30 seconds access to the world's two most powerful leaders. And then I was back on a flight home. My first overseas trip was a success.

The next time I saw Gorbachev was in Moscow following his coup in 1991.

Standing on some borrowed step ladders inside the Kremlin I waited for him to appear. A journalist whispered that I should also grab a few shots of the guy stood in the corner of the room, Boris Yeltsin, who had helped return Gorbachev back into the Presidency and who was soon to become the next President of Russia.

In 1990 the G7 summit was held in Houston, Texas. Two days later I found myself standing in another hotel corridor

outside the Japanese Prime Minister's hotel suite chatting casually with a TV crew... and Margaret Thatcher. It felt like I was betraying my own childhood. I'd been brought up to despise this woman and yet here we both were, passing the time of day and holding polite conversation. Perhaps she wasn't so bad?

Into the war zone

Her successor was John Major. I was in Moscow again when a member of the Number 10 press office invited me to a meeting in their hotel. The next day I found myself on the Prime Minister's plane en route to a war zone. When we landed there were two helicopters to take us in to Kuwait. We flew over Kuwait with the doors open and me leaning out all the while taking pictures! When we eventually landed there were hundreds of troops to greet us. I had to arrange photos with captured Iraqi tanks, with the PM addressing the troops and inspecting the base.

Finally I got back to the helicopter and someone was sitting in my seat! It was Kate Adie. We didn't get on too well either. How would I get home? I sought the General who'd been showing the PM around and sure enough he understood my predicament. I couldn't help a smirk as the copter took off and I pointed my lens downwards to a possibly quite frustrated war correspondent.

When President Clinton was first elected I flew out to Washington and this time I had full access to The White House. Just me and the White House photographer.

And the President! We waited for Prime Minister Major to arrive and I made my introductions to the President of the USA and addressed the Prime Minister who thankfully recognised me. That picture remains as one of my all time favourites.

I guess there are way too many events and people to list in a career such as mine and it has been at times surreal.

But the capture of people by my camera has perhaps defined me and still does to this day. Our studio on Falsgrave Road has a tag line, 'Now it's your turn...'

We've been there, done that, travelled the miles and it's our wish to make everybody feel special who stands in front of one of our lenses.

COLIN Appleton, 78, was born in Scarborough in March 1936 and spent his childhood living on Newlands Park Crescent with mum Edith, dad Harry, sister Joan and brother David. Colin attended Northstead and then Scalby Secondary Modern School, where his football talent came to the fore as he played as left-half for the school team and also represented Scarborough Boys. and the North Yorkshire County team. He started playing men’s football in the Scarborough & District League as a 14-year old for Old Scarborians, then joined St James FC, a leading local team of the time, whilst also going along to Scarborough FC for training sessions. He represented the Boro A and Reserve teams, and was spotted by talent scounts from a number of clubs, but was recommended to Leicester City FC by Boro manager Reg Halton, who was also the cricket professional at Scarborough Cricket Club.

Colin made his first team debut for Scarborough as a 16-year old, but then signed for Leicester, aged 18 in March 1954. He went on to play 333 first team matches for the Foxes, many as captain over the next 12 years, winning a Second Division championship medal and appearing in two FA Cup finals and two League Cup finals, as well as playing for the FA X1 and the Football League in an Inter League fixture. In 1966 he moved on to join Charlton Athletic, before then starting out on a successful managerial career, as player-manager of Third Division Barrow in 1967.

He returned to home town club Scarborough as player-coach in 1969, and immediately set about transforming Boro into one of the top non league clubs in the country, including three memorable FA Trophy successes at Wembley in the 1970s. He later manager Hull City, Swansea City and Exeter City and was also a scout for several clubs including Alec Ferguson's Manchester United in the 1990s.

At his prime, one of the top players in the Country, Colin's career saw him travel the World, but he always returned to his home town, and he now lives in retirement with wife Sheila at Vicarage Close, Seamer. A honorary life member of Scarborough Athletic FC, he maintains a keen interest in football and recently published his biography, 'The Colin Appleton Story' which details his remarkable career in the game, with in-depth reflections on his time as Scarborough boss during the glory years of the 1970's.

Pindar pupils' party to bring festive cheer to the elderly

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Curtains up!

Over 60 children, accompanied by parents and friends, turned up to the launch of The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts Scarborough. The atmosphere was electric with lots of excited faces turning up in anticipation of not knowing what the day had in store for them!

classes in PQA’s core modules; comedy and drama, musical theatre, and film and television, whilst the parents had the opportunity to take a peek at their children in action during classes.

Pauline Quirke says that the team are thrilled to be opening in Scarborough and bringing their fantastic performing arts experience to the young people

of this area. “We have a brilliant team who all share the same drive and passion to deliver outstanding classes in our unique modules,” says Pauline.

New Kumon study centre opened in Scarborough

A new Kumon Study Centre has opened in Scarborough, and will offer unique Maths and English programmes to children of all ages and abilities. Established for over 50 years, the programmes enable children to develop their study skills and confidently tackle advanced work.

Through the maths and English programmes, Kumon aim to nurture children’s independent study skills in a way that’s applicable to all subjects in school and out of the classroom too. Children will be equipped with the ability to learn for themselves meaning they do not rely on the skills and knowledge of others.

Regardless of a child’s age, Kumon operates at exactly the right level for each student ensuring that the material each one encounters extends and develops their skills, confidence and ability.

This kind of individual differentiation is a unique benefit of the programme and makes it an effective complement to the school curriculum.

Children will initially start at a comfortable level, with a focus on building a strong foundation in the way they study; they will develop invaluable study skills such as concentration, pace and rhythm, before confidently tackling topics they will not have previously studied.

Paul Smith is thrilled to be the Instructor: “I thoroughly endorse this system of learning as a means to advance students beyond their school level in both Maths and English.”

Kumon Educational is the UK’s largest supplementary education provider, with over 68,000 students studying at more than 640 study centres.

The Kumon Scarborough Study Centre is located at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church on Wreyfield Drive, Post Code YO12 6NP with classes running on Tuesdays from 3.30 pm to 5.30pm and Friday 3.30 to 6pm.

Tales from the cooler water 15 18 - Scarborough Review, Issue 15

As Autumn approaches, surfers find themselves getting up later and coming home earlier as the days draw in. The early morning surfs start a little later and the evening surfs stop a little sooner, but the recompense is the crisp October mornings and the early winter swells marching down the East coast to be greeted by the eager paddles of our keen neoprene clad waterfolk. Not everyone notices the sunrise coming a few minutes later every day but to surfers hoping for a pre-work surf, winter fills them

with dread. Come November with frosty mornings and only a few hours of daylight only the hardiest of people head out into the waves.

Last month saw a couple of great events. The British Pro Tour surf competition was here at the start of the month and to all those who came on Saturday - bad luck. The weather was cold and wet and the surf was pretty poor. Sunday, however, gave us some pleasant sunshine, surfable little waves and some really good fun and entertainment

on the North Bay promenade.

Bike displays, Volkswagen vans, free surf lessons from local surf schools and, wait for it…. some actual surfing! There wasn’t time to run the full competition but some of the junior surfers had fun showing off on clean waist high waves. It turned out to be the best weather and surf we’ve had since the competition started coming here a few years ago. So thanks to Dave Reed from the pro tour and SBC for bringing this event to us for another year.

I had fun offering surf lessons and promoting Surfers Against Sewage campaigns from my gazebo weighed down with about 30 sandbags. Thanks to everyone who came down it, was great to chat with you.

The other event in October was the SAS Autumn beach clean series and we had 44 volunteers on South Bay with a very hefty cross wind making litter picking an extreme sport. One of the aims of the day was to log the amount of fishing waste (fishing line, rope and other lost bits and bobs): we found a lot! Fishing line is really dangerous to seabirds and other wildlife and it causes many deaths every year, mainly through creatures getting tangled and trapped in it. So if you are walking on the beach and see any line, pick it up and put it in a bin

you will have the gratitude of countless seals, fish, seabirds and porpoise.

There isn’t much going on this month we are all busy surfing and preparing our extra warm winter suits, boots and gloves in preparation for the deep winter swells.

Surfers Against Sewage Christmas raffle tickets are available from me, at Fluid Concept Surf Shop and online at www.sas.org.uk.

Don’t panic – it’s only the Dad’s Army film crew!

Words by Dave Barry, photos by Simon Kench Who do you think you are kidding?

The new Dad's Army movie is being filmed not far from us.

Film-fever has descended on Bridlington and nearby villages including Bempton and Flamborough as a stellar British cast remakes the classic sitcom.

Toby Jones plays the pompous, hapless Captain Mainwaring, Bill Nighy is posh Sergeant Wilson and Hull’s Tom Courtney is the perpetually flustered Corporal Jones.

Michael Gambon is Godfrey, Bill Paterson is Frazer, Blake Harrison is Pike and Danny Mays plays the spiv, Private Walker.

But the biggest star on set is Hollywood A-lister Catherine ZetaJones, who plays a reporter.

Other parts are played by Annette Crosbie, Alison Steadman, Sarah Lancashire, Mark Gatiss and Emily Atack.

Our pictures, by photographer Simon Kench, are among the first to emerge from the various sets being used by the film crew over eight weeks.

The photos, taken in Bempton and Bridlington, show several

Toby Jones key cast members manoeuvring through the windswept East Riding countryside.

Other locations include Cloughton and the North York Moors Railway.

Directed by Bafta-nominated Oliver Parker, the film is set in 1944. Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard is patrolling the Dover army base when a glamorous journalist arrives to write about their exploits, setting the men’s pulses racing and putting the local women on red alert.

MI5 discovers a radio signal being sent to Berlin. The outcome of the

war is suddenly at stake and it falls to our unlikely heroes to stand up Sarah Lancashire, Emily Atack, Alison Steadman and be counted.

Dad's Army, created by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, ran from 1968-1977 and spawned such catchphrases as “Don’t panic!”, "They don't like it up 'em, sir", "Don't tell him, Pike" and "You stupid boy".

Bill Nighy is perhaps best known for his film roles in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Love Actually.

Welsh star Catherine Zeta Jones’ film roles include Side Effects, Chicago and The Legend of Zorro; Toby Jones and Michael Gambon were both in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; and Tom Courtenay’s more recent films The cast in costume Annette Crosbie include Quartet.

Blake Harrison was in The Inbetweeners and Danny Mays was in Atonement.

Sarah Lancashire was in Last Tango in Halifax and Lark Rise to Candleford; Alison Steadman’s long CV includes Gavin and Stacey; Mark Gatiss was in Sherlock and Doctor Who; and Annette Crosbie was in One Foot in the Grave and What we Did on our Holiday.

Danny Mays, Michael Gambon and Universal Pictures has acquired Catherine Zeta Jones Tom Courtney worldwide rights to the film.

Farm Fest fun for everyone at The Grainary Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE inaugural Farm Fest at The Grainary in Harwood Dale proved to be a big success.

Around 400 people attended the event which featured stalls, kids activities, food and drink, as well as the opportunity to take in the farm animals and picturesque surroundings of The Grainary.

The Grainary manager Mark Simpson said: “What a fantastic day on the farm and the turnout was much better than we could have hoped for.

“This was the first time we have ever done anything like this, so to get such a great response from the people of Scarborough and Whitby was amazing.

“I would like to thank all the local businesses who attended today, in particular Dan Hargreaves of Hedgehopper Cider who gave us the idea to put on Farm Fest.

“I would also like to thank all of The Grainary staff members who worked so hard in making Farm Fest a great day for

everyone that attended.”

The Grainary closes for the winter season on the November 14, and will reopen March 2015.

Jobs for Autumn in the Garden

Even though it's late autumn there's still plenty to do in the garden and the lovely warm weather has made it a pleasure to be out in the fresh air. Routine mowing is just about finished for the year and it's time to pack the mower off for a service. However, there are a number of tasks still to be completed if you are going to help your lawn through the winter.

Be vigilant about clearing fallen leaves which could cause disease problems if they are left to rot. It's a good time for scarifying and aerating the lawn ridding it of all the thatch that has built up over the summer season. This is particularly important if your green space is more moss than grass!

Perennials that have finished flowering can be cut back now to stop the plants being rocked about in the wind but

don't be too tidy! As it is still warm birds and insects will enjoy visiting seed heads and a little debris left behind in the border will provide a good sheltered habitat for overwintering visitors to your garden. If your borders are overcrowded you could try lifting and dividing your plants now.

Split parent plants into smaller more manageable pieces but make sure each piece has a growth bud. Discard any old or diseased material and replant whilst the weather is mild.

Alternatively, you can wait until you see new buds in spring and then lift, divide and replant.

November is rose pruning season and an ideal time to bring climbers back under control. In the Muck and Magic Garden we are careful to untie all the branches from the house

walls, take out dead and diseased branches and shorten stems by about a third to a strong bud.

Only then are they tied back in, always avoiding crossing branches if at all possible. Rose bushes can also be cut back by about a third so that the winter winds don't rock the roots loose. Further pruning can then take place in spring.

Finally, the best job of all for November is a bit of armchair gardening. Settle back once all the tasks are completed, reach for the seed catalogues and start planning your plots and borders for next season.

Happy gardening!

THE owner of a Scarborough Business in the Newlands area has spoken out of his frustrations after the Co-Op store next to him was ram-raided by thieves.

Mick Cooper, who owns Newlands Post Office, was one of the first people to arrive at the scene at 4am in the morning after the Co-Op store was targeted by thieves who drove a Land Rover through the shop front window and took off with alcohol and tobacco.

Mick said: “You certainly don't expect to go to work in the morning and the shop next door has been ram-raided by a vehicle.

“The stupid thing is that the thieves took the effort to steal the vehicle and put themselves at risk by driving through the window, and then they hardly even got anything.”

Mick knows all about having to deal with theft as his own Post Office was hit over a year ago, when cigarettes were taken from the premises.

The Co-Op at Newlands after it was ram-raided by thieves He added: “For the damage these people do, it not only leaves staff feeling uncomfortable in their work environment, but it usually ends up costing the shop owners more money to repair damage than it does to cover the costs of what is stolen.

“Hopefully the people that hit the Co-Op will be brought to justice and this kind of incident does not happen again.”

Textiles exhibition set to commemorate First World War

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

A SPECIAL commemorative exhibition of textiles inspired by the First World War is being held at St James Church & Community Arts Centre on Seamer Road in Scarborough.

The Armistice Exhibition begins on Saturday November 8 and will feature a variety of textiles.

Organiser Annie Parkinson said: “Since April 2014 we have been exhibiting our work in local libraries and in York Cemetery Chapel throughout the summer as part of their World War One commemorative events. Next year we are at the Royal Armouries in Leeds and Portsmouth, the Castle Museum, Pocklington Arts Centre and smaller local venues.

“We are looking forward to the

St James Church & Community Arts Centre exhibition at St James Church, Scarborough, which should be very interesting.”

The gallery at St James will be open 10am-4pm, from Saturday November 8, three days a week Thursday, Friday, Saturday until November 29.

For further details call Annie on 01723 361 525.

Garden centre gears up for Christmas Words and photo by Dave Barry The Christmas season is in full swing at Dean’s Garden Centre, which is entering one of its busiest periods of the year.

A Christmas department, which opens on October 1 every year, is bursting with seasonal colour.

It contains a vast array of traditional and contemporary decorations to suit all tastes and pockets, says indoor manager Elaine Harrison.

The traditional colours of red, green and gold are contrasted against the contemporary shades of purple and turquoise.

No fewer than three Father Christmases will squeeze down the centre’s chimney to entertain children in a grotto, which is indoors this year, in the greenhouse.

They will take turns over the three weekends before Christmas, each representing a charity: Scarborough Dance Centre, Ellie’s Fund and the MS Society.

The MS Society is Dean’s charity of the year. Money is raised at various events including two cricket matches, raffles, draws and a preview evening the night before the Christmas department opens.

A broad range of cyclamen, poinsettia and other popular Christmas plants is

Part of Dean’s Christmas department (to order, please ring 353597) coming soon.

Dean’s, on the A64 just outside Scarborough, is one of two wellestablished garden centres run by the Dean family; the other is at Stockton-onForest near York.

It stocks a huge range of plants, chemicals, hard-landscaping (sand, fences), etc.

Designed to be accessible to everyone, the centre is on one level with ramps and no steps, inside and out.

It has a big coffee shop, a large carpark and a delivery service.

The garden centre is open from 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30am to 4.30pm Sunday. The café is open from 9.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30am to 4.30pm Sunday.

Sharron Flint and Janette Spenceley of The Angel Inn

by Krystal Starkey Sisters Janette Spenceley and Sharron Flint have recently taken over The Angel Inn at 46, North St, Scarborough. This is a new project for the ladies as Janette previously ran a shop for 20 years. “The opportunity came along and we decided we wanted to do something a bit different,” says Janette. But they are settling in: “The pumps become like your babies,” she giggles.

To those who step through its doors, The Angel Inn offers a wide selection of

beverages including regular and guest ales such as: Bombardier, Timothy Taylors and Tetley’s as well as snacks at lunchtime. The pub also shows Sky sports, BT Sport and Racing UK, ensuring its punters rarely miss any sporting event.

Janette and Sharron have also introduced some new ideas into the pub, that they hope will be to their customers’ liking. There’s now the opportunity to host events such as Christmas and birthday parties and wakes where a buffet can be provided.

Another new feature is the heated beer garden, perfect for the long winter months ahead of us.

And what do the lovely ladies have in store for us in future? They’re currently doing a Christmas draw where all the money will be re-invested into the prizes and there’s mention of a Sunday evening pub quiz coming up soon too.

“We’ve really enjoyed it, there’s been so much to learn,” says Sharron.

Love in Venice

Words and photo by Dave Barry

Rich Shea

Rick set to rock at Woodend Unplugged

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

AMERICANA roots and country veteran Rick Shea is the opening guest at Woodend Unplugged on Saturday November 8.

Woodend Unplugged is a new venture which aims to replicate the acoustic intimacy of a house concert within the Gallery at Woodend from 7pm.

Rick has released nine albums and has worked with many great artists including Blues maestro Dave Alvin and Indie Rock giants REM. He will be supported by Liverpool's finest The Good Intentions who were recently voted the UK's top Americana band.

Tickets are £6 and available from Woodend by ringing 01723 384500.

Guests are invited to bring their own drinks.

For details contact Chris Lee on 0780887118 email: christopherlee218@yahoo.co.uk

A short story about five people who travel to Venice and find themselves emotionally adrift in search of love has been published by a Scarborough author.

Kate Evans has been a writer for over 30 years, publishing feature articles, short stories and poetry.

Adrift is set in Venice, which Kate first visited in 1998. “I arrived by train,” she says. “I remember stepping out of the station onto the canal side and being enraptured by the light and colour and the constant inter-play of both on the canals.

“I fell in love with the city, while being intrigued by its more sinister side,” Kate says. “The water which gives it life is also slowly gobbling it up. The canals and boats which are at one and the same time vibrant and ornate, are also disorientating as they are in continual motion.

“In Adrift I wanted to explore both aspects of the city's character.

In addition, I set myself the challenge of writing from the point of view of someone whose behaviour and attitudes I totally abhor. Thus Max [the principal character] was born from my imagination.

“I think Adrift is an uneasy read.

However, I hope what readers will ultimately take from it is the

power of love to heal and redeem.”

Kate’s first book, Pathways Through Writing Blocks in the Academic Environment, was brought out by Sense in 2013.

Over recent years Kate has become an Edith Sitwell enthusiast. For Coastival 2011, she created Words in my Head, an installation with poetry and music for the Sitwell library at Woodend Creative Industries Centre, inspired by Sitwell’s work.

This year, she is part of a small group organising events to mark the 50th year since Sitwell’s death. She also trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and runs workshops for health professionals interested in using creative writing as a means for self-expression within the therapeutic environment.

Adrift is published by AvenuePress Scarborough on Kindle (http://goo. gl/xGlfOO). Kate’s website: www.writingourselveswell.co.uk.

LOCAL singer-songwriter, Joe Solo, takes time out from his touring, writing and history projects to present a brand new show on Radio Scarborough, the town’s online community radio station.

Here he speaks to Scarborough Review editor Pete Spence.

The Joe Solo Show goes out at 10pm on Monday nights with a repeat on Thursdays.

Joe said: "I am a massive fan of a lot of different music from a lot of different genres so there will be something in there for everyone, from Punk to Folk, Blues to Reggae, Ska to Soul and back again.

“It is basically a chance for me to play you some of my favourite records and tell you why they have come to mean so much to me."

This energy and enthusiasm is something Joe feels radio has lost over recent years.

He added: "When I was growing up you had John Peel and Andy Kershaw, two DJ's whose love for what they did spilled out of the radio and you got caught up in it too. “It's that energy I want to recapture. I want to take you back to a time when the songs were what you listened to radio for, and, being a music geek, I like to tell you when and where the song came from, who played on it, and what was going on in the world at that time. You get it all."

The Joe Solo Show goes out at 10pm on a Monday nights with a repeat on Thursday.

Monday nights just got more fun.

Flamingo land to redevelop Futurist Theatre site

by Krystal Starkey Scarborough Borough Council announced ‘Bidder B’ for the Futurist Theatre Site was in fact Flamingo land.

Flamingo Land, the successful theme park near Malton, attracts over 1.5 million visitors annually and they hope to turn the new site into a similar success story. Plans are still in their infancy and it may be a while before construction can go ahead. Some details of the concept have been released, ideas include a visitor attraction that will have three environments: Subterranean, on the coastline and sky.

There may also be glass roofed botanical gardens, an elevated sea view bar, restaurant and function space, a walk through aviary, an adrenaline pumping roller coaster and a new town square for Scarborough.

Flamingo Land will be working with established Leeds based property and construction company, GMI Estates, on the project.

Cllr Derek Bastiman, Scarborough Borough Council Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Regeneration said: “We’re delighted that we’ve been able to announce Flamingo Land as the identity behind bidder B. The prominence of the proposed development site on Scarborough’s south bay seafront is an ideal match for such a popular and highly successful family entertainment brand.”

Gordon Gibb, Flamingo Land Limited said: “Scarborough is my home town so it gives me great pleasure to be associated with developing a major visitor attraction on the old Futurist site.”

Brief Whitby-based seaweed expert appeals for information on a Victorian lady

by Krystal Starkey

Dr Jane Pottas is looking for information about a Victorian lady who collected seaweed after a talk in Scarborough later this month.

Dr Jane Pottas, who lives in Whitby, is a phycologist – phycologists study algae. She gave a talk entitled Seaweeds – Cinderellas of the Seashore about the diversity of seaweeds in the Scarborough area to Scarborough Field Naturalists’ Society on October 28.

Whilst researching background information for her talk Jane found a leather-bound volume containing pressed seaweeds which belonged to a Victorian lady called Georgiana Wise – but Jane has been unable to discover much about her.

“I would love to know more about Georgiana,” she says.

“Her specimens are beautifully preserved in the album.”

“I’ve been unable to discover anything about her, although there are two possible names in the 1861 census.”

If anyone knows anything about Georgiana, they can contact Jane on j_d_pottas@hotmail.com

The Office of National Statistics’ “Crime in England and Wales, year ending Juwne 2014” report places the North Yorkshire Police area as the second lowest crime location in England.

Despite a small increase overall, domestic burglaries were reduced by 2% and incidents of criminal damage dropped by 7%. There was a 6% reduction in offences against motor vehicles and sexual offences rose by 19% but the rise was seen as a positive reflection of the confidence victims have in North Yorkshire Police.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy said: “I have nothing but praise and admiration for the officers and staff at North Yorkshire Police, who continue to work extremely hard alongside partner agencies to keep our communities safe and secure.

“We anticipated that the rate of crime would eventually plateau in North Yorkshire, but I can guarantee that we have not - and will not - become complacent. We remain as determined as ever to drive down crime, ensure residents can not only be safe but also feel safe, and put victims at the heart of everything we do.”

Scarbados the place to be for Boro

SCARBOROUGH Athletic have linked up with local business Scarbados to offer discounts to Boro Joint Owners and junior players.

Scarbados opened in July 2014, offering gifts, hot drinks and a delicious selection of ice creams, smoothies, frozen yoghurt and pastries from its seafront location at 44 Sandside, South Bay. Joint Owners from the club can now receive a third discount on all hot drinks and ice creams on production of a valid Joint Ownership card. Junior players from all of the Scarborough Athletic youth sides can also benefit from the price discount and claim a third off too by showing their team wear at the store.

Scarbados will also be rewarding the efforts of a Boro player from each of the club’s junior sides (U16s, U14s, U13s and U12s) as part of a Player of the Month award.

Scarbados owner Sean Kelly is delighted to link up with the club. He said: “We are pleased to support Scarborough Athletic and offer Joint Owners and junior players money off our hot drinks and ice creams when they are down on the seafront. The introduction of the ‘Player of the Month’ awards is a great way of recognising the achievements of the Boro junior players.”

Boro director Geoff Osguthorpe added. “Getting the backing of Sean and Scarbados to offer this discount to our Joint Owners and junior players is fantastic news for the club. While we are playing our home games at Bridlington, the support of local Scarborough businesses is vital to the club going forward.”

Raven in full flow

Raven’s concert raises £910 for RNLI Words and photo by Dave Barry About £910 was raised for Scarborough RNLI’s Supacat appeal at a concert at the Regency Central Hotel on Saturday.

A hundred people filled the hotel’s atmospheric function room and enjoyed spirited performances by Raven, Global Voices and John Watton.

The hotel and performers made no charge so all the money taken on in ticket sales and with a raffle has gone to the life-saving charity.

Many people donated prizes for a raffle which boosted the evening’s proceeds. They included Gary and Veronica Thorp, Mark Mullen, Ann Harrison, Hannah Jackson, Christine Mackay, Stuart Neilsen of the North Riding brew-pub and Brian Witty of Cellars.

Raven can be seen at Roscoe’s on November 6, sharing the bill with Wonderful Sound of Cinema Organ and Son of Bob; and at Watermark on November 22, when they will launch their new CD, Dance of Love.

Sandy Beds Stores welcomes Scarborough Review

by Krystal Starkey

Scarborough Review is pleased to announce there will now be free copies of the monthly newspaper available to pick up from Sandy Beds Stores, Sandybed Crescent, Scarborough. This will come into effect after the publication of Issue 15. Scarborough Review now distributes 10,000 copies and is also distributed through supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Aldi and Co-op.

My son and his fiancée have moved in with us while they save for their own place. Until we all started living together I didn’t realise how selfish this girl is. She does nothing to support my son, and puts her own needs first. Not only that, she does nothing around the house, even when I asked for help. The friction is unbearable.

My husband doesn’t want to get involved and my son currently ignores me. How can I get through the next year without causing a major upset? Claire, Scarborough Hang on, wait – your son ignores you? He treats your house like the Scarborough Hilton, and he doesn’t even have the grace to speak to you? Sorry, Claire, but it sounds as if you’ve brought your son up to be utterly selfish and thoughtless – and now he’s found his ideal match. Rather than wondering how to bite your tongue, you should be giving this self-centred pair a few home truths. For heaven’s sake, you’re only asking the girl to run round with the Dyson, not take your washing down to the sea and beat it clean with rocks.

Keep your temper, stick to what you want and don’t let it get personal. And get your husband to back you up, too – he’s involved whether he likes it or not. Of course your son and his missus won’t like it – but it’s better to be upfront now than go berserk and strangle her with a J-cloth later.

h Truth or dare?

I’ve been asked to supply a reference for a colleague.

She’s very efficient at her job, but she’s also a nasty piece of work who makes life very difficult for everyone around her. We’re a close knit group and she didn’t fit in.

I’m glad she’s found a new place, but I do I have to tell the truth about her? KF, eastfield Yes, you do have to tell the truth. And the truth is, she is very good at her job. End of story. If she’d embezzled the company or set fire to the CEO’s car then you might have to mention it. But she didn’t.

All she did was not manage to fit in with your ‘close knit group’. And for all you know, that might have been because you’re a cliquey bunch of bitches. Just saying. In any case, just stick to the facts in your reference. If you start getting personal the only one who’ll come out of it looking bad is you.

Firework safety

By Rory Shaw

North Yorkshire Police are urging people to act responsibly and stay safe this Bonfire Night.

North Yorkshire police are reminding people that it is an offence to supply anyone under the age of 18 with fireworks. Anyone caught setting off fireworks in a public place may face the prospect of being given a penalty notice for disorder and an £80 fine, or even taken to court where they could be fined up to £5,000.

Police are advising people to attend an officially organised fireworks display.

If people are having a private display they should take a few precautions to keep themselves safe including keeping pets indoors, not returning to fireworks once they have been lit and storing them in a closed box until using them.

Chief Superintendent Winward said: “We work closely with the Fire and Rescue Service and I would also remind people not take risks with fireworks.

“Anyone caught supplying fireworks to under 18-yearolds or lighting them in the street can expect to be dealt with robustly.”

But the other godfather is way better off than me, and I’m worried I’m not going to be able to afford to buy him expensive presents in the years to come. Should I say no? PD, seamer Ok, I’m not a religious person, but I’m pretty sure none of the promises you’ll be taking at the baptism involve iPads or skiing holidays. I’m also sure your mate is well aware of your financial situation and didn’t ask you as a way of lining his son’s pockets in the future. Frankly, I reckon if you remembered to send a birthday card every year you’d probably be the top five per cent of godparents in this country.

Your friend asked you for a reason, so just say thanks and be honoured.

Starsign of the month...

Scorpio

(23rd October - 22nd November ) You will begin to see some new pathways that you never realised were there for you. Following those new pathways brings some peace and healing to your heart, and gives your confidence a major boost when you look to the long term future. Health aspects seem to be improving, along with energy levels and the brightness of your smile.

News, knowledge, fresh information – all these things are highly relevant around the 9th and the 10th, especially where personal matters are concerned. Where jobs and careers are concerned, someone will approach you with a good idea, which you will need to modify and refine before it can work out successfully.

Younger people and their impulsive actions will cause some concern between the 10th and the 20th but any advice you try to give will probably fall upon deaf ears, so you might as well save your breath.

Capricorn (22nd December - 19th January) If your glass is half full while a lover or partner’s glass is half empty, there must inevitably be some different perspectives and priorities working through your life at this time. You need to get out a bit more (forget about Bermuda, Bridlington will do) and a long walk in the country doesn’t exactly cost a fortune, does it? aquarius (20th January - 18th February) Although you might find it difficult to accept, your fate and fortune is very much in your own hands at this point in time. If you’re happy with what you’ve got, that’s fine, but if you’re not, only you can change it… and you DO have the power to change it. The challenge is in finding the courage to use that power.

PIscES (19th Feb - 20th March) The first week of November sees you overcoming a specific challenge, and you’ll feel healthier and stronger as a result of it.

The period between the 8th and the 14th ties in with learning and education, while the 14th to the 21st highlights financial gains and business progress. A rather self satisfied smile finds a resting place on your face by month’s end. aries (21st March-19th April) November is one of those months for putting a few things to the test – this could be relationships, ideas, new cars, new jobs etc. Following on from Autumnal trends, the indications are that you will be pleased at the outcome. One new energy revolves around the degree of support you’ll be getting from lovers and partners. taurus (20th April - 20th May) November is never a good month for Taureans. Long dark nights lower the spirits, making you irritable and short tempered. There are some good energies

The rules of sudoku are simple...

around you when it comes to jobs and careers, but instead of thinking and dreaming and planning, you need to get out there and actually do some “doing”.

GEMINI (21st May - 20th June) Carrying on from October’s forecast, November will see you being taken a bit too much for granted by children and younger people in the family. Some open and candid conversations may be necessary. In your favour, it’s not just you who feels a bit used and abused – a spouse or partner will be feeling exactly the same way as you do.

CANCER (21 June - 22nd July) Some legal aspects will be relevant throughout the month, and possibly some deep feelings of personal injustice. Having said that, there is a lightening of the load around the 10th, especially if two people find themselves pulling together towards common goals. A much more secure and harmonious mood surrounds you during the last week.

LEO (23th July - 23rd August) Some personal conflicts caused by pride and a fundamental lack of understanding – this cutting two ways. As much as being the sinned against you are also the sinner!

Middle ground and compromises need to be found, but before you can find them, you’ve actually got to go and look for them! virgo (23rd August - 22nd September) A very productive month where careers and businesses are concerned with some special meeting or conference taking place on the 13th. Money changes hands, and even if you seem to be spending a lot, you’re getting an awful lot back for your money. Some old emotional issues are kicked into touch with feelings of fresh starts and new beginnings.

LIBRA (24th September – 22nd October) Compromises and sacrifices are called for and by giving something up you gain something so much greater in return. The third week of the month seems to auger particularly well for promotions and gains made on the job scene, while the priority for the last 10 days of the month will be to sort out a personal issue which is causing some emotional concern.

Scarborough Review, Issue 15 - 39

FROM THE SIDELINES A Review of the Local Soccer Scene with Steve Adamson

SCARBOROUGH SPORTING PROFILE:

ALEC COULSON

Former Scarborough Town man Ricky Greening netted for the Scarborough rep side in their victory over the York League outfit

Inter-league success for Mancrief’s men Michael in action for York City

Alec's brother Michael and late father 'Mr Edgehill' Steve Coulson

By Steve Adamsson ONE of the most familiar names in local soccer circles, Alec has been involved with Edgehill FC for the past 21 years, starting out as a reserve team player at the age of just 14. His long association with Scarborough's most successful ever local club is hardly surprising though, because his late father Steve managed Edgehill for 20 success-laden years, and Alec, along with his brothers John and Martin all played for the club, while younger brother Michael, the current York City player, also started out as an Edgehill youngster before embarking on his professional career.

Alec played Minor League football for North Cliff Juniors, then progressed through the Edgehill reserve team prior to becoming a first team regular.

He won every honour possible in local football and also won winners medals for Edgehill in both the North Riding County Cup and the North Riding Challenge Cup, which he picks out as the highlights of his playing career.

He later took over as reserve team manager for two years, and then had

four years as first team boss, leading the club to many more honours, including another North Riding Challenge Cup success.

He has since stepped back from the managerial role, happy to leave the first team in the capable hands of Steve Clegg and Vic Hollingsworth, but he has been club secretary for the past 10 years, and also continues to play for the team.

A member of the Scarborough News District League management committee, Alec has just resigned from his role as manager of the League's Rep team, which faced Scarborough Athletic at Scarborough RUFC in each of the past two pre-seasons.

As well as his massive contribution to maintaining Edgehill's position amongst the elite of local Saturday football, Alec has also turned out in the Sunday League for many years, playing for now defunct clubs New Tavern and Transbus International in the past, and currently plays for perennial Sunday League champions Trafalgar, who he has been associated with for 18 years. He now also coaches Minor League team Scalby Under-12s, for whom his second son Liam plays.

Alec is confident his beloved Edgehill will be challenging for the District League title this season, saying: "We have a strong squad and I think we'll be challenging for the title. We had a poor pre-season, with a few players missing through injury, but now everyone is back and we made a great start to the league campaign, winning our first six matches.

“A 2-0 Harbour Cup defeat to West Pier was disappointing, but we bounced back with a good win in the North Riding Challenge Cup, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.

It will be tight at the top, with Newlands and West Pier also challenging, and Filey Town can give anyone a game, so it's going to be an exciting season, but I really fancy us to do well."

PRIDE of place in local football this month goes to the Scarborough News District League representative side who captured the Ernie Fairclough Memorial Trophy with a battling 3-2 win against the York League Select team at Pickering Town on Wednesday, 22 October. Manager Shaun Mancrief, in his first match in charge of the Rep team, saw his side twice come from a goal behind to secure a very impressive win, thanks to goals from Liam Cooper, Danny Jenkinson and Ricky Greening.

There was further good news for the Scarborough League as both Edgehill and West Pier made progress in the North Riding Challenge Cup, as Edgehill thrashed Carperby Rovers 9-0 (hat trick for Ricky Greening), and Pier won 2-0 at Dalton Athletic with Neil Thomas scoring both. Holders Filey Town also began their defence of the East Riding Senior Country Cup with a 6-1 defeat of Driffield Sports, with in-form Cameron Dobson scoring 4. Both Edgehill and West Pier have also started the league campaign in great form, winning their opening six games, while reigning champions Newlands Park were also unbeaten, with 4 wins and a draw from 5 league outings.

Edgehill's most recent win was 8-1 away to struggling Ryedale Sports, while West Pier overcame Ayton 4-0 in their most recent league match.

In the second division Filey Town Reserves lead the table with six straight wins, including a 6-1 defeat of Athletico 2B in which Joe Gage scored twice.

Edgehill Reserves and Whitby Rugby Club also made fine starts to the season, both losing just one of their opening seven league games, while Scalby are looking good bets for a promotion challenge, with 16 points from six games, including a 4-1 win against Cayton and a 4-2 defeat of Duchess, with goals from Mike Hartnett 2, Carl Marton and Shaun Scales. Most improved team so far this season have been Cayton Corinthians, who were lying 5th in the table after a thumping 10-3 win against West Pier Reserves, with goals shared by Luke Newbold 4,

Josh Venner 3,Isaac Sands 2 and Curtis Foreman. Early third division leaders are Seamer Sports Reserves who won their opening six matches, with Gareth Sygrove scoring four in successive wins against Eastway Sports 9-0 and Scalby Reserves 7-0. Falsgrave Athletic were 2nd in the table after winning 5 of their fdirst 8 matches, with Cayton Corinthians Reserves in 3rd place.

In the Scarborough News Sunday League first division, Trafalgar beat Fylingdales 13-2(Joel Ramm scoring five),and West Pier won 12-3 against (hat tricks for Rob Speight and Dan Jones).

Trafalgar then beat West Pier 2-0 on 26 October to maintain their 100% record.

On target were Robbie Hawkes and Mikey Anderson, while Drew McCoubrey and Adam Stride both struck hat tricks as Newlands kept up their title challenge with a 9-1 defeat of Whitby Wanderers. In the North Riding Sunday Challenge Cup, Ryan Matson and Curtis Rose both scored twice as West Riding won 9-0 against CCMI, and Newlands also went through, but only on penalties after being held to a 0-0 draw by second division Cayton.

Trafalgar Reserves are top of the Sunday League second division, beating Cayton 9-0 in their most recent game, but Scarborough Sports Barrowcliff are close behind, with seven wins from ten matches. The only unbeaten side in division two are West Riding (5 wins and a draw from 6 league matches). The only points they have dropped were from a 4-4 draw with Cayton, and their wins include a 2-1 success over leaders Trafalgar Reserves(both goals from Curtis Rose), and a 7-0 victory over Ayton in which Jack Ramos 3 and Josh Foley 2 were amongst the goals. In the first round of the FA Sunday Cup, player-manager Liam Salt scored five as Trafalgar beat Roscoes Bar 13-1 and Adam Stride, Ben Briggs and Drew McCoubrey were the marksmen as Newlands scraped through 3-2 against Klosters.

Scarborough ABC standing the test of time to prove a big hit Boxers get into some skipping action against the ropes at times before unleashing heavy blows to head and body.

This remained the pattern of the bout for the duration of what was a very competitive bout before O'Toole was awarded a clear unanimous points decision.

Graham School pupil Andy Griffiths also found himself giving height and reach advantage when he boxed Dan McGready of the Scunthorpe Centurians boxing club, who was supported all the way by a very vocal Scunthorpe crowd.

Both boxers gave their all but it was was the Scarborough boxer who exhibited the better defensive skills and certainly landed the heavier shots in order to secure the decision on all the judges score cards.

Club all set to put on a top show

Scarborough ABC members get ready for a training session at their Seamer Road gymnasium

Pictures & words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH ABC has been producing sporting talent for approximately 40 years and has been at its present location on Seamer Road, on the edge of the Edgehill estate, for 30 of those years.

Scarborough's very own former featherweight world champion Paul Ingle was schooled at the gym by coaches like Tommy Johnson and Len Cook before he went on to be a professional success.

Coach John Brownlie said: “The club has a proud history and membership includes members of diverse backgrounds, various ages, both sexes and of different levels of ability, who are able to train in a safe environment supervised by qualified staff.

“Many of the youths who train at the gym are from less than privileged backgrounds and through membership are provided with the opportunity to take part in the sport of boxing, keep fit and gain knowledge regarding nutrition or dietary needs in relation to a healthy lifestyle.”

Andy Griffiths (left) and Matthew Atkinson put in some pad work The club has enjoyed its share of success over the years with a number of boxers going onto to win county and national championships, which has been followed by some winning county and national selection. Such success has given the boxers the opportunity to travel to other parts that they may perhaps, not have otherwise afforded to visit.

John added: “Scarborough ABC recognises that not all the youngsters that step through the gym doors will be champion boxers but still makes them welcome and encourages all the youths to be part of a club where they can mix with friends and meet others regardless of their backgrounds.

“All members pay a small attendance fee and where there are problems with those who may not be able to do so, alternative arrangements are always made.”

Scarborough ABC has been and still is very much a part of the local community and has assisted in raising funds for other local needy causes through annual sponsored gym sessions. Additionally, in order to assist other local agencies and sports groups the club has ensured that it’s gym premises have been made available to the use of others.

Trio pack a punch to get the season up and running

THREE Scarborough ABC boxers have already kick started the clubs new 2014/15 season with Robert Lee (14 yrs) travelling to The Hull Fish Trades Centre along with club mate Kyle O'Toole (18 yrs), whilst Andy Griffiths (14 yrs) travelled to Scunthorpe.

Lee faced an old foe in Hull Saints ABCer Naseem Stowell, who set off at a terrific pace in order to secure the first round against the Scarborough visitor, who despite struggling to find last season's form fought hard throughout the remainder of the bout. However upon the conclusion of the fight it was Stowell who was awarded the judges decision.

On the same bill and making his debut at lightheavyweight was Kyle O'Toole, who at six feet was still some three inches shorter than Boston Boxing Academy boxer Tom Pogson. From the first bell it was obvious that Pogson was intent on keeping matters at long distance as he tried to use his reach advantage to full effect behind a fast jab, however O'Toole's constant movement and pressure proved effective enough to trap his opponent

SCARBOROUGH ABC are staging a show at the Cayton Bay Holiday Park on Saturday December 6, the first time they have been at the venue.

Coach John Brownlie said: “It is a cracking venue and we are looking forward to putting on a show. We will also look to have boxers on the bill from Westway, Whitby and Bridlington clubs.”

Tickets will cost £10 and £6 concessions on the door which open from 8pm.

John pays tribute to former coach Lenny

LENNY Cook passed away recently having suffered from Alzheimer's during the latter years of his life. Lenny joined Scarborough ABC in the late 80s when he retired to the town with his wife Grace and made lots of friend in the area where he lived on Crown Terrace and throughout the town.

Lenny worked tirelessly for the club and was Tommy Johnson's right hand man for over a decade and was a constant figure in the corner for countless Scarborough boxers over that period, including a certain Paul Ingle.

Lenny will be sadly missed by all.

Kevin Nicholson played 272 games for Torquay United

Scarborough Review editor Pete Spence caught up with former boro favourite Kevin Nicholson who, after a hugely successful spell at Torquay United, has now landed himself a new challenge. pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

CULTURED left fullback Kev Nicholson arrived at the McCain Stadium in 2004 initially on a loan deal, brought in by former Boro boss Russell Slade from Notts County.

And it was not long before the Derby-born ace was feeling right at home on the East Coast.

Kev, 34, said: “Russell Slade brought me to the club on loan at first because I was not getting enough of a chance at Notts County.

“Russell got me in the team and playing and that was the key thing for me. I liked the style of football and after a spell it was an easy choice for me to make the move permanent the following campaign.

“I spent the next two seasons at Boro and enjoyed it, making a lot of friends who I still keep in touch with today such as Steve Baker, Mark Quayle and Tony Hackworth, but it was such a shame the way the club was handled off the pitch.

“For a club with its history to go bust was a tragedy and I know now that the ground is still stood there but just derelict.

“I look out for Scarborough Athletic's results, and it is interesting that when

FAN SPOTLIGHT

Scarborough Athletic’s Jimmy Beadle was coming through the ranks when Nicholson was with Boro I was with the club Jimmy Beadle was coming through, and he is now with the new set-up. Hopefully one day they will have a team playing back in the town because the supporters are very passionate.”

Following his time with Boro, Nicholson had a spell with Forest Green Rovers

where his continued impressive displays down the left flank earned him the move that would define his career.

He added: “After Forest Green I made the move to Torquay in June 2007, as they were a club really trying to push on and do something. When I signed I did not expect to spend the next seven years with the them but I am so glad I did.

“I played over 270 games for Torquay and enjoyed every minute. It even got me on TV quite a bit as Soccer AM presenter Helen Chamberlain is a big supporter.

There was an incident when I made a bet that our midfield player Lee Mansell would not score a certain amount of goals one season, after he had a goal bonus put into his contract.

“Helen got wind of it and they said if he won the bet then I would have to go clean his house naked.

“Needless to say he got the goals and they had this cardboard cut out of me on Soccer AM every week where they would do an update. It was very embarrassing but also fun. I still have the cut out in my garage.”

This season brought an end to Nicholson's Torquay career as he signed for Conference Premier outfit Kidderminster

Former Boro boss Russell Slade signed Nicholson in 2004 Harriers.

Kev said: “I was sad to leave Torquay, but after they were relegated from the Football League, we knew there would be changes.

“Kidderminster is a new challenge and I am enjoying it so far. We have started the campaign well and we want to see what we can achieve. I still live in Torquay because it is a great place to have your home, but Scarborough too will always be a place close to my heart.”

Mixed emotions for Leeds United fan Rich

Leeds United supporter Rich Hewitt

NEWLY-FORMED netball team Tigers are looking to claw in some new recruits.

The side play in the McCain Ladies Scarborough Netball League and train every week at Pindar Leisure Centre.

Victoria Rimmington, one of the team founders said: “If any ladies want to get fit and have lots of fun then come and join the Tigers.

“We don't take ourselves too seriously and the focus is on fun and fitness. We would like some more players to help us along.”

The Tigers train every Thursday at Pindar between 7-9pm with each session costing £4.

For further details email: tigersnetballsquad@gmail.com or look for them on Facebook under Tigers netball group.

Rich Hewitt, 25-years-old from Scarborough.

Team supports: Leeds United.

“GROWING up as a Leeds United supporter my favourite players were Tony Yeboah, Harry Kewell and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. They were the big name players that got the goals, and I remember owning a shirt with Kewell's name on the reverse (though his popularity at Leeds has since declined).

“Obviously a lot has changed at Leeds, and it looks as though the club is now trying to mix home-grown talent with a lot of Italian imports, so it remains to be seen how that will work out.

“There's a lot of noise being made about Neil Redfearn's work with the academy after his stint in charge of the first team, so hopefully some quality will start to come through in the next few years, and hopefully we can hang on to them!

“My favourite Manager has to be David O'Leary. His time in charge was the most exciting period at Leeds that I can remember. The release of his 'Leeds United on Trial' book and the huge mismanagement of money at the club during his tenure obviously left him in a bad light, but there were other factors at play there.

“We have had our fair share of bad players over the years too. Swedish striker Tomas Brolin is right up there on any list of 'worst signings', with an honourable mention to Cyril Chapuis.

“And the worst manageriel appointment has to be Dave Hockaday. It just seemed doomed from the start and it's still fresh in the memory.

“My favourite moment as a Leeds fan are a tie between Jermaine Beckford's winner at Old Trafford in the FA Cup, and being at Elland Road to watch my dad officiate a match a few years back against Burnley.”

Super Seamer moving on with new look squad Football words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SEAMER FC Reserves have a new look about them and are taking the Scarborough News Saturday League third division by storm.

Under boss Gary Dixon they have recruited some top new players including former West Pier striker Gareth Sygrove and Eastfield duo Matty Drury and Kris Tate in the engine room.

Gary said: “Eastfield folding was a massive shame but it did mean there were players out there who needed a club and we were delighted to get the likes of Kris and Matty.

“Gareth is a coup for us too because he is a top player in the local league who always scores goals.”

Gary is certainly a dedicated club man. He has been associated with Seamer for many years and has helped Matty Dawson run the first team as well as taking on the role of secretary, which he still does today.

He added: “I love being involved with the club and it is great to have a team now which has a great mixture of youth and experience.

“This team can do great things and they like to play good attacking football and score goals, which is always good to see.

“We have a solid team spirit with all the lads just wanting to go out there and enjoy themselves and long may that continue.”

Fine October form sees Boro maintain play-off position

By Will Baines SCARBOROUGH Athletic continue to occupy a play-off position in the Evo-Stik D1 North at the end of October after a run of three league wins, one defeat and one draw.

Boro started the month with a 2-0 win over Ossett Albion thanks to a penalty right on the stroke of half-time from Jimmy Beadle, followed by Ryan Blott forcing the ball home after the interval to seal the win.

That victory lifted Rudy Funk’s side up the league, but they were then brought crashing back down to earth with a 4-1 defeat at Spennymoor on a dismal Tuesday night. After going in 1-1 at half-time thanks to a goal from Gary Bradshaw, Boro collapsed in the second half to concede three second-half goals as Spennymoor proved too strong.

Just a few days later Ossett Town came to Queensgate looking to do the double over Boro. But Athletic started the game brightly and took the lead on 36 minutes when a cross from winger Jimmy Ghaichem was dropped by the Ossett keeper, leaving Blott with a simple finish from six yards out. The lead was doubled just before the final whistle as Gary Bradshaw rifled his shot across the keeper and into the bottom corner.

The rearranged Doodson Sport Boro November fixtures Cup game against Brigg Town 01/11/14 finally went ahead on Tuesday Darlington 1883 (H) 3pm (FA Trophy) October 14, with Boro just Monday 03/11/14 moments from going out of the Harrogate Railway (A) 7:45pm competition as former Athletic 08/11/14 player Joe Lightowler gave Brigg Northwich Victoria (H) 3pm the lead midway through the 11/11/14 second half. But in the 91st minute, Farsley AFC (H) 7:45pm (League Cup) Wycombe Wanderers loanee *Reduced Admission: Adults £5, Nathan Evans kept his cool to loop Concessions £3, Kids (U11s go FREE)* the ball over the Brigg keeper and 15/11/14 send the game straight to a shoot Radcliffe Borough (A) 3pm out. Athletic keeper Rory Skelton, 22/11/14 aged 18, was the hero with two Bamber Bridge (H) 3pm crucial penalty saves to send his 25/11/14 side through to the next round.

Pickering Town (H) 7:45pm (NRSC) Farsley arrived at Queensgate with a fantastic away record during the early part of the season, but Boro continued their superb home form to win 3-1. A confident first half showing saw Jimmy Beadle steer the ball home to open the scoring, before Ryan Blott continued his recent good form with a turn and finish from 20 yards to make it 2-0 at halftime. Farsley threatened to make a comeback as Marcus Edwards Boro loan signing Nathan Evans looks knocked in from close range, to take control but the win was complete a few minutes later when Gary Bradshaw nipped in ahead of Farsley keeper Tom Taylor to head home.

The final game of the month saw Boro travel to New Mills in Derbyshire, with a see-saw game ending in a 3-3 draw. Athletic fell behind early on when Porya Ahmadi smashed beyond Jason White at the second attempt after 6 minutes. It was soon 2-0 with Ahmadi again on target as some static Boro defending allowed the striker to roll home.

There seemed no way back for Boro after a sluggish first-half display, but the game turned around in two second-half minutes as first Jimmy Beadle headed in after 68, quickly followed by a slick passing move finishing with Gary Bradshaw on hand to make it 2-2. The Seadogs then took the lead for the first time as Ryan Williams was fouled in the box, with Jimmy Beadle despatching the spot kick with a thunderbolt. It looked like Boro were set to nick all three points, but in the last minute New Mills earned a penalty as Beadle handled on the line to save a certain goal, with the Boro midfielder seeing red for his actions. Daniel Grimshaw rolled home for the hosts to end the game 3-3.

golfing review

by Derrick Arden

Lady Captain with her vice-Captain

partner Paul Draycott who claimed the Tankards with an unbeatable 63. In the Pennant Trophy standings North Cliff have now moved 13 shots clear of Filey who are second and are five better than the big movers of the day Driffield who have jumped into third place after their excellent home performance.

The Tankards winners Fraser Kelley & Paul Draycott.

The winter alliance scene is now in full swing with both the Scarborough & District Alliance and the East Riding & District of York Alliance well under way.

The third meeting of the Scarborough & District Alliance was held at Driffield and proved to be a real test of golfing skills and temperament for the players. The course had suffered from the recent rains making the ground conditions difficult but credit must go to the Club’s greens staff on presenting a playable course. They were also rewarded as the host team made their local knowledge count with an excellent team performance, all their representative pairs finished under par. This also resulted in their best three scores finishing in the voucher awards. Rich Johnson and Ben Godby lead the way beating Josh Dyson and Vice Captain Paul Berriman on the back nine both shooting six under par 64, Ryan Gray and Ian Drewery added a 65 to the team performance. However, the score of the day was posted by North Cliff Professional Fraser Kelley and playing

After two meeting of the ER&DY Alliance it is North Cliff, the current holders, who again lead the way in the league table chasing the Hull Daily Mail Bowl but only just as Selby are just a single shot adrift. The competition promises to be a real dogfight this year. After the second fixture, played at Hull Golf Club, the league standings showed seven teams within nine shots of the lead. The best better ball round of the day was a brilliant 62 for N. Ludwell *(0) & M. Webster (4) representing Selby to take the Tankards and the top vouchers prizes by a clear three shots and also move their team up from ninth into fourth place in the standings.

Congratulations go to Alex Belt (Snainton & De Vere) who, having already won this year's PGA North Region Order of Merit, clinched the Yorkshire PGA Order of Merit title when he finished the year on 868.75 points. Ben Mason of Waterfront Golf finished second on 710 points and local man Fraser Kelley of North Cliff in third place on 637.5 points.

North Cliff Golf Club welcomed two new captains into office at the start of October when Paul Helliwell was installed as Club Captain and Eleanor Paterson as the Lady Captain. Paul took over from the retiring

captain Tony Quinn whilst Eleanors’ appointment gets the Club and the ladies section back on track after a couple of years with no Lady Captain in place. The Club Captains Drive In/Out competition was played on Sunday in a team format with two scores from four to count. The winners, Paul Bang, Rob Newton, Loz Darnell & Derek Olsen, compiled a great score of 92 points equivalent to 20 under par. They needed to be in form as the runners-up Jim Hughes, John Collins, Paul Draycott & Mike Kelley pushed them all the way but finished up a couple light on 90 pts. The ladies competition winners were Jenny Swift, Clare Trousdale, Clare Pybus & June Webster who scored 70 points. The Captain also announced that The Altzheimer’s

Society would be his charity choice in memory of his father who suffered from the condition and that he would do all he could to raise funds throughout his year in office.

Both Captains have started their year in fine style and are now looking to advance the Club’s development and membership, so the current members are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

South Cliff golf club held their junior prize presentation event in the clubhouse on Sunday afternoon 19th October. The captain Neil Bruce and lady captain Glenis Hoskins presented the awards. Over 30 juniors and 60 parents were present.

Pictured are the major trophy winners:Achievement award, Amy Staverley; Stableford Blue course, Ayane Butterworth; Stableford Red course, Lee Pettit; Most improved girl, Jasmin Smalley; Most improved boy, Stephen Nicholson; Skills for Life award, Michael Thompson.

Driving tips – Windy weather November weather can be unpredictable, with storms and showers aplenty.

Here’s some advice for driving in strong winds.

FREE Winter Health Checks at Seamer Garage

Keep your course.

At Seamer Garage, they provide a FREE Winter Health Check for all types of vehicles.

Strong winds can blow your car off course, so keep both hands on the wheel and feel for pressure pushing you either way.

Seamer Garage’s health check schedule conforms to the Bosch Car Service standard, and is approved by Trading Standards. They can provide a comprehensive quote for any work that is required following the check. The garage employs a tyre specialist with up to the minute knowledge of the right winter tyres for your vehicle.

Keep ‘em peeled.

If the wind is strong enough to affect your car, think about other vehicles. Stay attentive to other motorists just in case they haven’t noticed the first point as well as you.

Keep clear.

Winds will invariably blow debris onto the road, particularly twigs and branches from trees. Steer clear of objects in your path, even if they appear small and light.

Keep stocked up.

Just like driving in harsh wintery weather, make sure you have a fully charged mobile phone with you, as well as warm weatherproof clothing – just in case you get stranded.

Paper No More You might have heard on the news recently that from January 2015 all new driving licenses and renewals will no include a paper counterpart element. That means that only the photocard will be issued, which will apparently lead to less hassle for both motorists and the government. However, some people have been wondering how it will affect them, especially if they still have the old style paper-only license.

The good news is that things will only have to change when you update or renew your license, at which point just a photocard will be issued.

Seamer Garage will only undertake work once the vehicle owner has given permission to do so with full knowledge of any recommended work.

Seamer Garage offers a courtesy of collection and pick-up for all customers and their vehicles, so you need not worry about travelling to the garage on Salter Road in Eastfield. n Call today on 01723 586700 to book in for your check now, before the nights draw in and winter arrives.
