volunteers, staff and users of the Gallows close centre
inside this month…
Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk VOLUNTEERS and staff at the Gallows Close Centre in Scarborough continue to show remarkable efforts in improving the community facility despite a constant battle for funding. Scarborough Council removed their funding from the centre 11 years ago but the likes of local councillors Hazel
Lynskey and Jim Martin stepped in to save the day. And ever since then, what was a down and out and almost derelict building is now thriving with groups and activities up to seven days a week. Hazel who is vice-chair of the Gallows Close Centre said: “When we came in here 11 years ago it was in a real state but we just said that we had to do something
because a community like Barrowcliff needs this kind of facility. The work and effort which has gone on since then has been inspirational and you only have to look at what is in front of you today to see how true that is.” The centre had employed three members of staff thanks to some funding from the National Lottery which has now come to an end meaning two of them have moved on while the future of the one remaining staff is in question. Chairman Jim Martin added: “It is a constant battle to get funding in for the centre but we all work together to bring in new initiatives and ideas. The staff have been great and the volunteers are all a credit to themselves and the community.” “There is still a possibility that we can keep one member of staff on in the future and that would be great. Kim Avison has been working especially hard to promote our events and get the word out there and has become a vital part of the centre.” n for more on Gallows close centre look for them on facebook or ring them on 01723 378102.

Anthony takes on a hard fundraising challenge
Anthony Prior gets ready to put in some training
Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCARBOROUGH man Anthony Prior is putting his best foot forward to raise money for a great cause. The 37-year-old from the Newlands area is all set to run the 26.2miles Hard Moors Marathon in May to raise cash in order to get a specialist tricycle for youngsters
where he works. Anthony explained: “I am a support worker at May Lodge which specialises in looking after children with such conditions as autism and can find life difficult. “Last year the chaps from Scarborough and Ryedale Community Cycling visited us and may of the youngsters absolutely loved riding their specialist bikes. “I thought it would be great to get one that we can keep on site so I decided to do something to help raise cash to do just that.” Anthony needs to reach around five and a half thousand pounds to raise enough money for the tricycle, and he needs your help. He added: “It is a big challenge for me. I do run a lot but this is different in that most of it is a climb so I have been training running up to Ravenscar. If anyone can donate to help out I would be so grateful and it would make a massive difference to some great youngsters.” n If you can support Anthony in his quest then please visit: https://www.justgiving. com/Anthony-Prior2/

DIAL A RIDE in Scarborough need your help to keep on moving. The registered community transport company are getting busier and busier but at the moment are having to say no to some requests for journeys as they simply don’t have sufficient volunteers to staff
enough minibuses to meet demand. Manager Julie Banks said: “We really hate turning down people, but what would be worse is if we took bookings and then had to cancel the journey as there was no-one to drive the minibuses. “We are looking for drivers age 25 plus who have a D1 category on their driving licence or passenger escorts age 18 plus. People need to be fairly fit and active, enjoy getting out and about and like meeting and helping people. “We give full training and support and have a wonderful team of existing volunteers who are a pleasure to work with. Volunteering is not just for people who have retired but is also a way of keeping work skills fresh and up to date and a way back into work.” n There are more details on their website: www.scarboroughdialaride.org or telephone 01723 354434.

Handy support for Newby & Scalby in Bloom
SCARBOROUGH and District Civic Society have a special event at their April meeting. The group has invited an expert on the subject to come and talk about 'The Style, History and Influence of Art Deco.' Kevin Trickett from Wakefield will be the speaker. As this is a fine example of Art Deco the meeting will be held in the Boden Room at the Stephen Joseph Theatre at 2.30pm on Tuesday 12 April. n Tickets cost £2, but to be sure of a place, please call Christine on 368913 to be sure of a place.
Big celebrations for Eastfield Community Centre Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk EASTFIELD Community Centre are set to celebrate their 50 year anniversary in style.

Local DJ legend Dave Marshall is hosting and refreshments are also on offer. Entry is free for the event between 10am-3pm.

Beckie bids to put safety first at The Street
Words & picture by Pete Spence
pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE Street is a wonderful community building, set in the heart of Scarborough on Lower Clark Street. And owner of the building's cafe The Filling Station Beckie Blake is looking to make it as safe as Beckie Blake possible too. Beckie explained: “I run the cafe situated within the building, and I love getting involved with community projects. “The Street is proud to be able to provide a safe and fun environment for local people of all ages, needs and abilities. One thing the building would greatly benefit from, however, is a defibrillator. To have one of these on site would mean an increased level of care and medical needs could be met. “It would be an invaluable investment for us, and many of the people who take advantage of the services offered here. “We have found a great machine, which comes complete with a training course on how to use the equipment. In all, it costs £1500, and I am hoping to raise a third of that through this appeal, with the rest coming from other donations and potentially from some larger local businesses in the area. Every penny counts here, and we would all be so grateful to you for taking the time to read, and possibly support this campaign.” n Go to: https://www.gofundme.com/n8tvwzw4 to show your support or contact Beckie at The Filling Station on 07808 018126 .

NEWBY & Scalby in Bloom are ramping up their annual raffle thanks to support from a local business. Sister companies Bibelot Bee and Clock Handyman have
paid for the raffle tickets to be produced and printed. Owner Jane Kemp-Buglass said: “I know Sue Groom from Newby & Scalby in Bloom and she explained that they were looking for some support with their annual raffle. “We offered to pay for the tickets to be done and they have the Clock Handyman and Bibelot Bee logos on so it is also good publicity. “They do a lot of fantastic work and have their annual plant sale and event at Scalby Fair coming up so we are delighted to help them out.” Sue Groom from Newby & Scalby in Bloom added: “We are very thankful to Jane for all her support and it means a lot. It is great that a local business is willing to do something like this.” Newby & Scalby in Bloom are selling raffle tickets at Proudfoot on Scalby Road on Friday April 22 between 11am-4pm and then they have their annual plant sale at the Parish Hall on Scalby Road on Saturday May 28 10.30am-1pm. They are at Scalby Fair on June 18 with the raffle draw taking place at the Nags Head on the evening.
Warm reception for Corbyn in Scarborough

Mr Corbyn addresses a meeting convened by the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union
Words and photos by Dave Barry
Jeremy Corbyn’s popularity among young party members was plain to see on his Scarborough visit. The Labour leader had a warm reception and was inundated by eager fans when he made two speeches in the town. The first was for the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, at the Mount Hotel; the second was for the Young Labour conference, at the Spa. The leader of the opposition and MP for Islington North since 1983 reiterated his support for “a campaign to eliminate the appalling way in which zero-hours contracts operate” and said he opposed “the idea that you sign a contract with an employer with no guarantee of any earnings whatsoever”.
Jeremy Corbyn with local party members including Eric Barnes and borough and county councillor Tony Randerson, plus police and crime commissioner candidate Steve Howley He added: “I want to see a society where we have a National Health Service [which is] publicly owned and publicly run, with all the staff employed by the public, not one that’s been divided up and sold off to one private health operator after another. That’s why the battle the junior doctors are having is very important and we should all get behind them.” Corbyn, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, finished his Mount Hotel speech by saying: “It doesn’t have to be like it is. The global corporations don’t have to go on making their zillions off the backs of those who are underpaid and working really hard. It can be different, if we work together rather than compete with each other to let them win.” Afterwards, Corbyn patiently allowed long queues of union members and delegates to take selfies with him. Eric Barnes, who chairs the Labour Party in the Scarborough and Whitby constituency, commented: "I would like to thank the Bakers Union for the invite to their meeting about the campaign for a living wage of at least £10 an hour and the abolition of zero-hours contracts for people that work in the fast-food industry. “Mr Corbyn gave a very impressive speech that outlined his support for this campaign and other fair and sensible ideas that would dramatically improve the lives of all ordinary people".

Hordes of volunteers joined in with the national Clean for the Queen campaign to tidy up their communities ahead of the monarch’s 90th birthday on 21 April.

It was backed by anti-litter charities Keep Britain Tidy and the Campaign to Protect Rural England,
Early end to the chase for music man Trevor Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IT certainly was not music to the ears of Scarborough man Trevor Landray when he took on ITV's The Chase. That is because the post man and Radio Scarborough DJ lost out on a chance to win big money when he was defeated by Chaser Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, ironically going out on a music question! Trevor, 42, can laugh at it now, although many of his friends still give him plenty of stick. He said: “I am a huge fan of The Chase and applied to go on it back in July 2014. When I found out I was going on I was made up and went down to Elstree studios in London late last year to film it. “In the first round I did really well and reached an eight thousand pound target. I was feeling confident and can't believe the question I got wrong to get knocked out was about music. “The answer of Bruno Mars and Uptown Funk seemed too obvious so I went for something else. “As soon as I saw it was wrong I knew Paul Sinha would know the answer and I was gone.” To add to the pressure for Trevor he stated to host Bradley Walsh that he wanted to win the money to

Trevor Landray with his The Chase conqueror Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha get a new kitchen for his wife Debbie. He added: “That may be what added that extra pressure. I am just joking. It was a wonderful experience and Paul Sinha is actually my favourite Chaser so it was great to go up against him. “It is one of the biggest day time TV shows in the country and I was also able to give Radio Scarborough a mention too. “Hopefully I won't have to listen to Uptown Funk any time soon though!”
Bloomin’ great effort at plant sale
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
AFTER undergoing a £4.2 million overhaul by the National Railway Museum, the magnificent Flying Scotsman was back at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway where it ran journeys in March. Flying Scotsman is the world’s most famous steam locomotive and was built in 1923, named after the already famous service that had been running from London to Edinburgh since 1862. It’s the first steam locomotive to be officially recorded reaching 100mph on November 30, 1934, which is the train’s highest recorded speed and its mileage is equivalent to going from Yorkshire to the moon and back again five times! North Yorkshire Moors Railway is one of the most historic lines in the North of England, taking visitors on picturesque journeys along its own 18 mile line and a further six miles into the heart of Whitby, aboard steam and heritage diesel trains. For train enthusiasts, there are many exciting events to look forward to this year. This includes a Spring Steam Gala with special visiting steam locomotives, a Seventies and Diesel gala, combining live music and diesel locomotives, a Swinging Sixties Weekend and much more! n For further information please go to www.nymr.co.uk
other organisations including the Women’s Institute, the National Trust and the RSPB, and businesses like McDonald’s, Costa, Greggs, KFC and Wrigley. Volunteers gave their time freely in a bid to clean up their towns, villages and open spaces. Their spirits remained high even when battling against heavy rain, high wind and snow. The clean-ups were on the South Cliff, Dean Road cemetery and Peasholm Park in Scarborough and in Newby, Scalby, Osgodby, Cayton, Hunmanby, Muston, Filey and Whitby. Borough mayor Tom Fox visited some of the cleanups and projects being undertaken by Scarborough Community Payback in partnership with the Council. Cllr Fox met young people from 1st Scarborough Scouts, who were keen to participate in the activities. The authority’s community environment officer, Roger Burnett, said he was delighted that so many volunteers had taken part. “We have the most dedicated volunteer groups here in the borough and it is always a pleasure to see how much hard work and how many hours they give to look after their communities,” Mr Burnett said.

NEWBY & Scalby In Bloom are growing strongly ahead of the spring and summer season.
The group held their first fundraising event of the year when they held a plant and raffle ticket sale at the Daisy Tea Rooms on Scalby Road. The event was headed by volunteers including Zoe Groom. She said: “It is always nice to see the sunshine and for us to get back out and hold an event like this at such a great venue as the Daisy Tea Rooms. “We have to raise funds in order to be able to continue the work we do in and around both Newby and Scalby. We have also been selling raffle tickets for our plant sale which takes place in June this year. “I have been volunteering for three years now and thoroughly enjoy it. They are a great bunch of people to work with.” Reg Towse from Scalby Parish Council, added: “This is the first event of the year and as well as being on the Parish Council I also volunteer with Newby & Scalby In Bloom. The work they do benefits everyone and hopefully it will be another great year for all involved.”

THE Women's Community Project in Scarborough celebrated International Women's Day with a whole lot of fun and activities. And Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence and Radio Scarborough's Mark Sinclair were invited along to find out more. The Women's community Project Manager Elaine Hewitt said: “This is a
day of celebration and we have a lot going on from various workshops and activities including massage and art. “It is all about promoting equality for women and highlighting the work that we do. “We have women here that have suffered from things such as domestic abuse and violence and we offer them somewhere safe to come and know that they are in a comfortable environment. “We have done a pledge for parity to show that everyone is equal and all who have attended today seem to have had lots of fun.” Brigid O'Reilly, who also works at the project on Northway in Scarborough, added: “I run the creche here but have also helped organise today. I have been here for a year now and absolutely love it. It is wonderful to give women the confidence they need to not feel inferior in any way. “We have had a lovely buffet and overall the whole day has been a success.”

Filey U3A Chorus - Can you help? By Krystal Starkey
Make sure you get a copy of new book! By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A SCARBOROUGH author is looking for continued success after launching her second full-length novel. Getting Over Gary is a follow up to Searching for Steven from Julie Heslington, who writes under the name of Jessica Redland. Julie explained: “Getting Over Gary is the second in a trilogy set in Whitsborough Bay which is a fictional version of Scarborough and readers who are local have had great fun trying to guess which streets/pubs/shops etc I've used as inspiration! “Although it's in a series, it can be read as a standalone book. There's also a novella out called Raving About Rhys. It's available on eBook only and is set
SR April 2016.indd 8
in Whitsborough Bay. Time-wise, it's set before Searching for Steven but can be read before or after it.” Both books are available in eBook formats and paperback. Paperbacks can be purchased via Amazon or ordered via any good bookshop for £7.99. Julie added: “The final book in the trilogy will be out on 18 August 2016 but the name is still a work in progress. After that, I'm planning further books set in Whitsborough Bay but they'll feature a new cast of characters.”
FILEY Chorus are on the lookout for a new leader and pianist. Margaret Walker and Wendy Whaley have enjoyed a successful five years with the chorus of forty something singers but are looking to give up their present roles.
The Chorus said: “Sessions run fortnightly on a Tuesday afternoon. If you would be interested in helping us in the future, please give either Wendy (01723 516772) or our Chairman, Howard Mitton (01723 516342), a call. We would be delighted to hear from you.”
A Moroccan theme for Scarborough stamp club By Jack Patterson
On March 1, the Scarborough Philatelic Society had an inspiring meeting when Les Goodens came from Hull to tell society members about the Morocco Agencies, a system of British post offices in Morocco, which existed for 100 years, and showed them his stamp collection from these regions. They discussed the interesting issue of a
huge variety of stamps, overprints and postal markings on envelopes, newspaper wrappers and how registered mail was produced, mostly in small quantities due to the ever changing currencies in Gibraltar. In the Scarborough Philatelic Society’s next meeting, on April 5, members will give short displays and judge competition entries. Visitors interested in postal history are welcome to join.

CASTLE Interiors is the hands on place to be when it comes to choosing your new kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or office. That is because the stylish showroom on Castle Road in Scarborough has fully working and interactive display units for all to go and enjoy before selecting exactly what you want. Store Manager Charlie Thompson said: “It is very rare that you get display units like the ones we have in smaller towns. You would normally have to go to York or Leeds to be able to sample the quality we have, but also at very reasonable prices. “You can get a top quality kitchen from us from as little as five thousand pounds and that is great value for the way the market is. “We pride ourselves that the units are fully working and that you can test the appliances such as the hobs and it really allows
the customer to get the feel for exactly what it is they are buying.” Castle Interiors is now a master partner with NEFF kitchen appliances while also using such high quality suppliers such as Hacker, Falmec and Silestone. Charlie added: “Sometimes people may look in and see the quality on offer and feel they can't afford to come in, but that is not the case. “We have excellent goods from top makers but we are very competitive when it comes to price and we even use local fitters to install all the display units which are on and working every time the showroom is open. We would encourage everyone to come in and take a look and see exactly what we can do. It is all about bringing the big city feel and quality to the smaller town and we hope to carry that philosophy onwards into the future.” n Castle Interiors is at 8 Castle Road Scarborough.

Lifeboat stalwart loses cancer battle Words and photos by Dave Barry
Eric Russell, a keen supporter of the lifeboat, has passed away after losing his third battle with cancer. A popular member of the Scarborough RNLI family, Eric was a member of the lifeboat support group, a shop volunteer and a brass polisher. He was polishing brass, such as the fire hydrant, on the lifeboat as recently as six months ago. Eric worked as a BBC cameraman and as a freelance journalist specialising in electronics, and ran an electronics company. He met his wife Dorothy at a dance in Worcester, when Eric was a trainee cameraman. When Eric invited Dorothy out on a date, she refused until he agreed to take her for dinner. “My friends and I had a bet on

who could be taken out for the best meal,” Dorothy said. Speaking a few years ago, Dorothy described her husband as a “cockney sparrow” whose job, at one point, involved scaling the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral to film Winston Churchill’s funeral in 1965. The couple went to a Miss World final, the Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall, a Formula 1 race at Brands Hatch and numerous horse races. They lived in Ebberston, Snainton, Brompton and Cayton before moving to Sandybed Lane, midway between St Augustine's School and the Sixth Form College, 34 years ago. The Russells, who had two children - Kate and Richard, loved jazz and attended Scarborough's jazz festival as often as they Eric in his Sunday best for the visit to could.

Dear Editor, I JUST wanted to say what a pleasure it was to give a talk to the Friends of Queen Street Methodist Hall. I would like to thank Ann Cappleman for inviting me along to do the talk and for her generous donation to Radio Scarborough and the lovely biscuits. Every bit of support the station gets is vital so that we can continue to support the community of Scarborough and surrounding areas. If anyone else would like to fine out more about Radio Scarborough and would like me to give them a talk then please get in touch: mark@radioscarborough.co.uk
I AM currently PR officer for our Lions club and looking to promote Lions and what they do locally, and I think the Scarborough Review is the perfect way to do that and get the word out to the public. During the last month we have volunteered to collect for Marie Curie in Tesco at Filey, collecting in excess of £800.00 in two days. We also made donations to Filey Bay Initiative for £200.00, Keep Filey Tidy £150.00, Wilf Ward family trust £250.00 and Filey Methodist church music festival £400.00.

21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL
A restless mood pervades the House of Aries throughout pretty much all of the month. You’re likely to feel hemmed in and claustrophobic, especially around the 5th, 6th and 7th when something gets delayed or postponed. Other peoples’ inability to make decisions is also something that rubs you up the wrong way, and this is a scenario which is relevant both in the home and in your place of work. Some travel aspects around the 16th-17th may give your spirits a bit of a lift, but only if you’ve got the goodwill and co-
operation of partners and close friends. Romantic aspects can get a bit tense at various times, but it will be to your advantage to avoid full scale arguments and contentious conversations. This is easier for me to suggest than it might be for you to do – but do your best. Overall, finances are sound but you’ll be frustrated by the way in which a lover or spouse seems to overspend without applying any kind of restraint.
TAURUS
directly, but also other people close to you. You’ll have a very busy month on the work scene, during which some targets will be hit, while others won’t. Don’t try to achieve everything at once. Define priorities, then proceed one step at a time.

There is a gypsy in the Taurus soul that feels the need to move on and make waves with the coming of the spring. Travel opportunities will be actively pursued as you go in search of a change of scene and scenery. You’re likely to be impulsive with money, but if this prevents you from walking into Tesco and shouting “go to Asda” maybe it saves your bacon.
GEMINI 22ND MAY - 21ST JUN
This will be quite a bright and positive month in which you’re likely to be quite impulsive. If other people criticise, you’ll just ignore them – which is the right thing to do. There is a lot of social activity, especially in the second half of the month, and you’ll enjoy climbing into your glad rags when you commit yourself to a bit of social climbing and networking.
CANCER 22ND JUN - 22ND JUL
A ‘bitty’ month, filled with repercussions from choices and decisions made earlier this year. There will be the implementation of some new domestic routines, and a fair bit of involvement with bureaucracy and red tape, probably around the 17th, 18th, 19th. Not a lot of co-operation from lovers and partners, who have their hands full with issues of their own.
LEO 23RD JUL - 23RD AUG You’ll have quite a lot of pressure to contend with over pretty much the whole of the month. This comes from work issues as well as domestic situations. There’s always enough hours in the day, and you need to be mindful of health aspects and energy levels. A necessary journey around the 22nd will be to your financial advantage, so don’t put it off!
VIRGO 24TH AUG - 22ND SEP A reflective month in which you evaluate and assess your achievements of the last couple of years; you may have done more than you thought you were capable of doing, but there are still itches which need to be scratched. A lack of direction seems to be a stumbling block at this time and there’ll not be much help or advice from other people. Be patient.
LIBRA 23RD SEP - 23RD OCT A very pragmatic attitude is required when you deal with some practical problems that not only involve you
SCORPIO 24TH OCT - 22ND NOV
A rather exciting month as you become increasingly aware of new options and opportunities. One particular member of the opposite sex will be making interesting overtures, and this could turn out to be quite a sexy and romantic few weeks, especially the period between the 10th and the 27th. Of course, you do have to say yes!
SAGITTARIUS 23RD NOV - 21ST DEC
On a superficial level this will be the usually busy month dealing with banks, building societies, work routines, domestic commitments and sexual priorities. Beneath the surface, however, there is a sense of unease, and one key question seems to be forcing itself into your mind. Just who are you living your life for? Yourself or other people?
CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 20TH JAN
A much more pleasant and predictable month than some you have known so far this year. Key emotional relationships chunter along nicely without crisis, and you’ll feel pretty well in control when it comes to career pathways and job situations. A good time for getting some fresh air and for finding a few new projects.
AQUARIUS 21ST JAN - 18TH FEB
On more than one occasion there will be a collision of conflicting ideas. Do you do something right now, or wait till a bit later? Do you tell someone what you really think, or what you think they want to hear? If someone upsets you (and they will) do you take them to task, or let things go? If you think about it carefully, you’ll know exactly what you’ve got to do.
PISCES 19TH FEB - 20TH MAR This will not necessarily be a calm month, but it is a month wherein you’ll feel a lot more in control of what you’re doing and what’s going on around you. Social outlook is quite bright and you can look forward to a few liquid evenings with good friends. Travel aspects are sticky, so think twice before committing yourself to holidays. Plans may have to be changed.

St Mary’s Church Words by Dave Barry Scarborough’s oldest buildings, St Mary’s Church and the nearby castle, must have seen the most action in their long history. The cruciform parish church was halved during the civil war of 1642-46 – the English revolution. Royalists, under siege in the castle, were bombarded by Roundheads holed up in the church. Parliament had despatched 2,000 infantry and 600 cavalry for a land and sea assault on the town. They were commanded by Sir John Meldrum, who died from a musket shot. But the castle was easily defended and the most powerful cannon in the land had to be wheeled down the nave of St Mary’s to fire cannonballs weighing 65 pounds at the castle through a big window at the east end of the choir. By the time the five-month siege ended, the town’s principal medieval buildings, its Norman castle and parish church, had been ruined or damaged beyond repair, with much blood spilled in the process. A big tower, which had been at the centre of the church, managed to stay up for a few more years until it was blown down in a gale in 1659. The destroyed sections weren’t rebuilt and the area occupied by the choir is delineated today by the ruins of its foundations. The church was restored in the late 17th and mid 19th centuries. A square tower was built at the east end, replacing the central tower. At the beginning, the church took 270 years to be fully constructed, 20 longer than York Minster. Work on the nave began in 1180, followed by the north and south aisles in 1200. The south aisle was completed in 1225. In 1189, Richard the Lionheart granted the church revenues to the Abbot of Citeaux in Burgundy – a Cistercian order of white-robed monks. The church remained under the control of the Cistercians for the next two centuries. Gilbert de Turribus was the first vicar of Scarborough, in 1180. The church was significantly altered in the 14th century. Imposing twin towers, possibly erected by masons from the
castle, were removed from the west side, which contains the main door. Work on the north and south parts of the transept began in 1330. Only the south part remains, its window featuring original reticulated tracery. Work started on what became known as the fishermen’s aisle, on the north side of the church, in 1350; and on the stonevaulted chantry chapels on the south side in 1380. The aisled chancel was rebuilt in about the middle of the 15th century. The internal walls are adorned with brass plates removed from stone tombs in the churchyard and late 18th century and early 19th century wall monuments. One, dedicated to Elizabeth Craven in 1728, is by Louis-François Roubillac, a French sculptor who worked in England. The most well-known person buried in the large graveyard was Anne Brontë, who died in Scarborough in 1849. Her sister Charlotte commissioned a stone to be placed over the grave, bearing the inscription: "Here lie the remains of Anne Brontë, daughter of the Revd P. Brontë, incumbent of Haworth, Yorkshire. She died aged 28 on 28 May 1849". When Charlotte visited the grave three years later, she discovered multiple errors on the headstone, and it was refaced. Oddly, she didn’t correct Anne’s age, which was 29. The Brontë Society got it right with a plinth laid in front of the eroded headstone in 2011. Thomas Hinderwell, an early historian of the town, is also buried in the garveyard. The most recent addition to the graveyard, which is no longer used for burials, is a millennium stone erected in June 2000 to mark a viking festival. The inscription states: “It is a reminder of Scarborough’s Viking heritage, from the end of the first millennium and the conversion of the Viking people to Christianity in 996 AD”. Repairs and restorations are neverending at such an old structure. The hands on the big clock, legible from long distances, have been missing since October. Gilbert de Turribus’s latest successor, Rev Martyn Dunning, says the big cog behind the face broke and a new one has to be made from scratch by Smiths of Derby. They seem to be taking rather a long time.

Curious locals visit Islamic Brief centre on its open day Tap into charity fundraiser by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A SPECIAL race night and 60's fancy dress disco is being held at the Tap & Spile on Falsgrave in Scarborough to raise funds for the Andrew McGeown – The Legacy charity. The events takes place on Friday April 15 from 7.30pm. Fancy dress is optional and all are welcome to attend.
Worshippers face Mecca for prayers
Festive Spectacular Over 200 tickets have already been sold for this year’s Festive Spectacular, at the Spa Grand Hall on Saturday 10 December. The beneficiaries will be three local charities: Basics Plus, mental-health charity Mind and Sash, which combats youth homelessness.
Country Blues The Blue Swamp Band, Kyla Brox and Mick Simpson’s country blues band are to play at Whitby’s annual blues, rhythm and rock festival, at the Pavilion on Sunday 2 October. Early bird tickets cost £22.

Words and photos by Dave Barry
Scarborough Islamic Centre opened its doors to the public at its first open day, in March. Besides many of the area’s Muslims, it was attended by representatives of various community organisations, borough mayor Tom Fox and curious members of the public. Islamic hospitality offered to visitors involved coffee made with lightly toasted beans flavoured with cardamom and saffron; Saudi dates; a delicious buffet supplied by the town’s Indian / Bangladeshi
restaurants and local Middle Eastern people; and a tour of the premises. Scarborough Islamic Society, formed as a charity 12 years ago, conceived the open day to act as a bridge with non-Muslims. Muslims, who pray five times a day, previously prayed collectively at the doctors’ mess at the hospital, as so many hospital staff were Muslim. The society acquired its extensive new premises in Roscoe Street, previously occupied by the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, three years ago. The prayer rooms for men and women have floor-lines directing worshippers towards Mecca and digital prayer clocks displaying the ever-changing times of the five daily prayers. The muezzin’s call to prayer can only be heard inside the building. The facilities include ablution and recreation rooms and an education room for English lessons and children’s Islamic lessons. The centre is run on a voluntary basis and is looking to develop further to accommodate Muslim and wider community needs. Most of the area’s Muslims, estimated at about 1,000, are Sunni but other sects are welcome at the Islamic centre as their core beliefs are identical. “One of our duties as Muslims is to convey the message of the prophet Mohammed, which is about salvation and guiding humanity to support each other,” says Zaid al-Saffar, who chairs the centre’s board of trustees. Islam is one of the world’s three principal religions. Ranked by the number of adherents, they are Christianity (33%), Islam (21%) and Hindusim (14%). About 16% of the global population is non-religious. n Website: http://scarbislam.com/sis/
Hundreds raised for Top effort for Coventry Alzheimer’s Society University Scarborough Campus

Words and photo by Dave Barry
Just over £400 was raised at an annual music afternoon in aid of Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Alzheimer’s Society. Entertainer David Nicholson sang for an audience of about 60 at the Red Lea Hotel on the South Cliff. The event was attended by the mayor and mayoress, Tom and Ros Fox. They sat with Dorothy Rushworth, who founded the society in 1989, and fellow fundraisers Fay Barnes and Glen Bridgewood. “Over the years, we must have raised an awful lot of money,” said Dorothy, who expressed her heartfelt thanks to David Nicholson and the Red Lea Hotel. Alzheimer’s accounts for 60-70% of dementia cases. About 850,000 people have dementia in the UK; this will rise to a million by 2025. Two thirds are women. The financial cost of dementia to the UK is £26 billion per annum. There are 670,000 carers of people with dementia in the UK. Family carers of people with dementia save the UK £11 billion a year.

THE topping out of the new Coventry University Scarborough Campus building has helped two Yorkshire young people reach for the skies – in more ways than one. The new £14 million complex at Weaponness will open later in the year, 12 months after the Coventry University group first started to deliver learning in the town. Coventry University Scarborough Campus is bringing a new era in higher education to the region, with the focus on making it more accessible, flexible and affordable to meet the lifestyle and career aspirations of modern learners. Teaching has been delivered this academic year in Scarborough Spa but from the start of the next academic year, a broader range of courses to degree
level will be offered from the new building which is part of the £50 million sports and education facility on the town’s old Weaponness Park and Ride site. And while the building will help hone the skills of students from Scarborough and the surrounding region, its construction has also helped in the career prospects of young people. Lewis Simcox, who is studying Business, Management and leadership at the campus, was joined by Matthew Roe, who is a management trainee with construction company Willmott Dixon, to complete the topping out ceremony now that the building has reached its highest point. Lewis, from Middlesbrough, moved to Scarborough to start his degree course last year. He said: “It has been great to watch the new building develop and it has moved on really quickly. Going to the site and seeing it up to its full height brought home what an opportunity this will give to students.” The new campus building will include engineering and science labs, a mock law court, social space, a library, IT suites, a café, and a wide range of classrooms and quiet and social learning spaces. Provost of Coventry University Scarborough Campus Professor Craig Gaskell said: “It is wholly appropriate that Lewis and Matthew helped us top out the building as it will play a key part in both their careers in very different ways. “Our new building will enable the university to expand to over 2000 students and this will offer a massive opportunity to potential University learners of all ages along the Yorkshire Coast and across the broader region.”

Coaching course in aid of RnLi by Dave Barry
A PERSONAL development consultant is raising money for Scarborough RNLI. Ian Marshall, who runs a training company called Mejma, has pledged to donate the proceeds of a coaching course to the charity. The two-hour introduction to a personal development programme called Achieve Your Dreams will be delivered at a town-centre venue at a date to be confirmed. Ian, who was head of Thomas Cook’s national training programme for three years, said:
“Counselling can be good to help people recover from trauma and unhappiness and get back to ‘normal’. Coaching helps people with specific goals, people who need motivating, training and education to help with specific needs. On an individual basis I use all these techniques tailored to a person’s situation.” Mejma stands for Meaingful, Exciting, Justifiable, Motivational, Altruistic. n to find out more about the coaching course, email ian@ mejma.com or ring 447377.

GOOD TO KNOW
St John Ambulance’s latest campaign, ‘Nursery Rhymes Inc’ teaches parents life-saving skills. The video starring nursery rhyme characters teaches parents how to do CPR on a baby who is unconscious and not breathing. It’s hopefully something none of us will ever need, but definitely important to know. Research by St John Ambulance showed that only one in four parents in Yorkshire and Humber would know how to correctly administer baby CPR.

OUR FiRST DAY APART
My first day back at Your Local Link was incredibly bitter sweet. The dreaded day had finally arrived. Shay, my 1 and a half year old, was about to embark on his first day at the childminders. We walked slowly up to the door, and I anticipated tears with a huge ball of dread in my stomach. I felt incredibly guilty leaving my little boy at the childminders, and selfishly hoped he might miss me a little bit too. I’m happy to report that there wasn’t a single tear shed. He simply gave me a smile and waltzed off to play with the other children. (The settling in sessions worked a treat!) Your Scarborough Review staff are a supportive bunch, so I got through my nausea inducing first day much easier than I expected. Throughout the day I was sent pictures of shay doing different activities which was so reassuring and lovely but part of me felt a little bit envious I wanted to do all that with him; I was so used to spending every second of the day with him, and making every
decision. As time has gone on I’ve felt much less guilty about leaving Shay, he’s learnt so many new activities and developed into such a confident young man. So my advice is this: Yes, it’s really hard letting go, but having freedom and talking to adults for a change is quite nice. My little one has come on in leaps and bounds; to be honest is was easier than I thought it was going to be. Choosing a place for your little one can be a stressful and time consuming experience but fear not, I’m here to let you know about some of the great nurseries in the Scarborough area. Take a look at the page on the right.
NAPPY WRESTLiNG
I’ve found recently that getting a nappy on my little boy can be a race against time. After the wriggling, screaming and crawling in the opposite direction of the nappy changing facility is over, there’s a very small window of time to get said fresh nappy on before the not-so-glorious golden arch of wee appears once more. The joys of changing my little cherub is a work out in itself (think of calories burnt!) but I wouldn’t have it any other way. n if you hear anything helpful on the grapevine to do with our little ones, please get in touch! i’d love to hear about it and share with other parents of scarborough. email mya@yourlocallink.co.uk
STARS ‘Scarborough's Talented Apprentices Recognised with Success’ generously sponsored by Yorkshire Coast Homes, is set to happen for the second year running on 22 July 2016 at The Scarborough Spa.

year 10 and 11 students with mrs Bilton and mr ingram YEAR 10 and 11 students from George Pindar School had the opportunity to try some hands on construction work at The Skills Village. They had a go at bricklaying and block paving and had the chance to spend time looking around a working building site at the Middle Deepdale development. Careers Adviser, Mrs Bilton said: “The students gained a good understanding of what a career in construction would entail and also became aware of the endless opportunities that are available in that industry. As skilled construction workers are now in high demand, this is a good time for young people to gain qualifications and experience in these sorts of trades. With all the housing developments
currently taking shape in the UK and abroad, there will be guaranteed work within the industry for many years to come.” Student Nathan Beanland added: “The site tour was interesting because you saw houses in different stages of development and you could see how it all came together. The workers were much more disciplined than I expected. Health and Safety is of huge importance. If you think about it, a building site is a really dangerous place to be. It was an excellent experience. It opened my eyes to how difficult it is; I’d thought it would be easier and I realise how skilled bricklayers actually are now.”

Over five days, 21 children aged 2-4 were sponsored to rufus Walls, 4, wearing the bunnystep into hoops, mask he made across balance beams and along stepping stones. Wearing – and slightly hindered by – home-made bunny masks, they concluded their gentle outdoor exercise class by climbing and jumping off a little purple ‘mountain’. The pre-school playgroup is based at the village hall in Hutton Buscel. Its catchment area includes Scarborough and surrounding villages, says leader Sally Marshall.

Tales from Cooler Water
22 - Scarborough Review, April - Issue 32
by Steve Crawford
It's a busy month on the east coast. We' have the Surfers Against Sewage Big Spring Beach Clean on Sunday 17th April from 10-12 on south bay. Work is also starting on replacing the outfall pipe in Cornelian Bay which has been leaking for years and also there is an issue with the plan to de-classify Staithes as a bathing water. Starting with Staithes, the powers that be have decided the best way to deal with pollution problems at Staithes is to change the rules. The water at Staithes, where one of the best waves in the UK breaks, has always had problems with pollution. Damaged sewers and runoff from fields means that Staithes has frequently failed the tests which ensure
it is safe for bathing. An application has been submitted to ask the government to reclassify the area so it does not include bathing, meaning that tourists and surfers will be offered no protection whatsoever. Staithes is a beautiful village which attracts tourists and travelling surfers from all over the world, so it's a pity that people will be at risk from water borne pollution. Yorkshire Water are starting work on the Cornelian bay outfall pipe from McCain factory in Eastfield. The pipe has been leaking for a number of years, causing numerous roblems around the area. From the 1 April preparations to bring in the new 2.5km pipe will start. A new channel will be dug out, then the pipe will be
brought in by sea in 500m lengths, then sunk in place and covered. It will be an impressive engineering spectacle. Work should be completed before August, closing the book on a nasty period of pollution. Last, but far from least, we have our Surfers Against Sewage Big Spring Beach Clean. It will be on South bay, Scarborough, on Sunday 17th April from 10am till 12pm. We are meeting on the slipway near Spa bridge, try to be early so we can have a chat before we start. Last year there were more than 650 beach cleans and over 12000 people nationwide cleaning up. Every piece of litter removed is a little victory, so last year we achieved a massive success. Litter is always a problem on our beaches and, especially
in spring, it presents a real hazard to wildlife.If you'd like more information on what SAS does, look at our website www. sas.org.uk. For more information on the beach clean call 07891094976 or look at fluid concept surf shop Facebook page. It's a busy month on the east coast.

taking care of your mopheads and your lacecaps! HYDRANGEAS are everywhere. They must be one of our most commonly planted garden shrubs. So much so that we tend to take them for granted, and yet, you would be hard pushed to find a more tolerant, tough-as-old-boots plant anywhere! Native to Asia, these shrubs come in all shapes and sizes so there is bound to be one to fit every garden whatever its size. Or you could even consider growing one in a large pot on a balcony or in a courtyard. Putting aside the climbing varieties, these shrubs can be broadly divided in to lacecaps or mopheads, the former having round, flat flower heads with two rings of flowers in the centre and the latter having round footballs of flowers. Hydrangeas aren't particularly fussy about soil type but may suffer from a touch of leaf yellowing if grown on a chalky soil. The soil type really influences the colour of the flowers with acid soil deepening blue shades and chalky soil enhancing the pinks.
SR April 2016.indd 22
April is the ideal time to prune established bushes. In the Muck and Magic garden we are just about to start this task now and the Head Gardener is sharpening up his secateurs in anticipation. Cut the old flower heads back to a pair of strong buds and remember not to leave any "snags" - stumps of wood above the buds which will die back and encourage pests and diseases. Your plants will thank you for a scattering of a general purpose fertilizer around the base which can be watered in or left to let the rain take them into the soil. If you are growing your prize hydrangea in a pot, of course, you will need to pay particular attention to feeding and watering. It may be an old head gardeners tale but try putting the dregs of your teapot on the soil around the plant and watch how the tannins enrich and enhance the flower colours. If you want to have a go at propagating your plant take cuttings in July and August about 4 to 6 inches long
from side shoots and root them around the edge of a 5 inch pot. Hydrangeas thrive in our coastal gardens, so if you are looking for a no nonsense plant which will flower well into autumn and give lots of value for money, they are certainly worth a second look and, if you are tempted, make a date to visit Fileys Northcliff Garden in mid summer to see the Hydrangea border in full bloom. Happy Gardening from theMuck and Magic Team.

School bangs the fair-trade drum
Grandpa tells a story
Georgina steams ahead by pete spence
Hurry Up Great Grandpa Or We’ll Miss The Train! THERE was a very special day at North Bay Railway. A new engine was going to be “named”. Yes, that’s right! There was a brand new engine at North Bay Railway! And guess what? That new engine Georgina is a steam engine, built locally by the North Bay Railway Engineering Company! How exciting is that! Real steam and smoke and “Chufferteta! Chufferteta!” BBC television man Harry Gration was there.. The Mayor, Tom Fox, was there and some other very important people. Great Grandpa was invited and the great grandchildren were going with him to travel on the train. Great Grandpa was so excited he couldn't get ready! He just wanted to tell the children all about North Bay Railway. “Once upon a time there was no North Bay Railway. The land was a valley with a small lake and a stream that ran into the sea. The Scarborough Borough Engineer, Harry Smith, wanted to build a miniature railway to run through this valley. Children would love to ride on it. The track would be nearly one mile long, and there would be two tunnels. Nowadays there is one tunnel and a turntable!” “Hurry up Great Grandpa or we’ll miss the train.” But he kept on talking. “While the railway was being built, the engine was being made in Leeds, by the engineers, Hudswell Clarke. It would be apple green in colour and called Neptune. The 23. May, 1931, was the day for the first train ride at North Bay Railway. The Mayor of Scarborough, Alderman J. W. Butler was ready to buy the first ticket. It cost six pence for a return ticket. Councillor Pindar was
SR April 2016.indd 24
there with his children.” Great Grandpa could remember it well, even though he was just a little boy then. “Five passenger coaches were ready, but the engine had been late. Neptune hadn't arrived till nearly midnight, and the workers had to work through the night to get everything ready for the big day. At last, with a huge crowd watching, at 2 o’clock, the very first train ride took place. The train was packed. What a wonderful day that was!” “One year later, another engine came along. This one was also apple green, called Triton. What wonderful engines! Neptune and Triton! They pulled the North Bay Railway trains for 70 years! Years later two extra engines came to Scarborough. Poseidon is blue and Robin Hood is red. And today there's a brand new engine …... Georgina, and she's a steam engine!” “Yes she is, so hurry up Great Grandpa or we’ll miss that train!” Great Grandpa was now ready, and at last he stopped talking. Yes he did! They made it just in time! They got to the station! They got on the platform! They got on the train! The guard called out “All aboard!” The green flag was waved while the whistle was blown! And Georgina set off. Look at that new engine! It’s Georgina! She's apple green as well. Real steam and smoke and “Chufferteta! Chufferteta!”Three cheers for Georgina and North Bay Railway! And three cheers for Great Grandpa, who didn’t miss the train! Hip, hip hurray! Hip, hip hurray!! Hip, hip hurray!!! Copyright Joe Coates2016: www.northbaytales.com

Words and photos by Dave Barry
A FAIR-TRADE tea party was thrown at Northstead School during Fairtrade Fortnight. The annual campaign highlights the severe lack of food security faced by farmers around the world, says teacher Melanie Baines. “Despite millions of farmers in developing countries working hard to grow the food we eat every day, many don’t earn enough to know where their next meal is coming from”, Melanie said. Fairtrade Fortnight aims to get shoppers, campaigners and businesses in the UK talking, thinking about and buying fairtrade products. The local fair-trade group delivered assemblies to pupils in the run-up to the tea party and ran a stall selling fair-trade products at the party. Pupils, parents, grandparents and others enjoyed fair-trade tea, coffee, orange squash and home-made biscuits baked by the school cook using fair-trade ingredients. Pupils designed bunting for the tea party and a poster promoting fair-trade products,
Will Watts and daughter romilly, 5, enjoy their fair-trade tea and entered a competition to win fair-trade chocolate donated by Sainsbury’s. Fair-trade products donated by Newlands Co-op, Proudfoots and Fairchilds at the Cheeseboard were raffled.

SPITAL Craft Centre is the place to be for great food, entertainment and camping. The business just outside Staxton Village on the A64 after the roundabout is under new management. Partners Steve Padfield and Sharon Wilson are the people behind the rejuvenated site which not only offers tea rooms, bar and restaurant camping and live entertainment but also a brand new village store. Sharon explained: “We have a lot going on here and it is very exciting although a lot of hard work. “The tea rooms have proved very successful and we just want to make sure that we
utilise all the space we have so we can cater for as diverse a customer base as possible.” Spital Farm Camping Site is a unique venue which offers visitors a taste of Victorian Britain while showcasing the very best in craft skills and exceptional gifts. Steve added: “We want to be here not just for visitors but also for the community around us. There is so much history on the site and it is a special place. We want to make sure everyone is aware what we have here and that we are not just a camping site. “We are offering breakfasts every day in the tea rooms and will be doing hearty traditional pub food and carvery in the restaurant, using locally sourced products wherever possible. “We also have shop units to hire which I am sure many businesses can take advantage of especially in the busy summer months. “We are both excited about the future here and can't wait to welcome everyone in.” n tel: 01944 711377 or 07718069432 for more information or bookings and also visit: www.spitalfarmcraftcentre.com

WHich way will you vote?
Noel Gallagher comes to Scarborough The ultra-famous singer songwriter will visit Scarborough for the first time this summer. As part of The High Flying Birds Tour, Noel Gallagher and his band will perform at Scarborough Open Air theatre on August 3. With just over 6,500 tickets on sale, priced at £49.50 each, it will be hard for fans to get their hands on them. Noel Gallagher shot to fame as lead guitarist and vocalist in the Britpop band Oasis in the 90s. He is currently working on his third album with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
THE EU REFERENDUM
The date is set, On June 23 Britain will decide whether to stay with Europe or back the Brexit. I am torn, completely and utterly unsure. Like any decision there’s pros and cons to both sides. The media have done well to decipher both sides of the story, but the key decision lies with what factors are most important for each individual. The European Union consists of 28 countries, and as far as organisations go, it sits in between the federal system of the United States and the loose co-operation of the United Nations – a bit of a middle grounder. The EU was a post war organisation set up between states as a super alliance. It democratically controls many things including employment rights and immigration. Ok enough with the jargon. I’m not going to try and persuade you either way, I’m definitely not going to pretend that I know enough about it yet to decide on my vote. However I am going to divulge with you how I’m going to go about making the big, massive, huge decision.
SR April 2016.indd 26
There will be key battle grounds, which I believe will be economic well-being, trade and immigration. Official campaigning in favour or against will start from mid-April; it’s going to get very messy. First I’m going to decide what is truly important to me, the key aspects that I think will affect me directly (indirectly everything has an impact, but if I think like this then I’ll never ever make a decision). I’m then going to look at these topics in depth, for quite some time. I might write a few notes in my journal with illustrations. I’ll probably ask my mum and dad because their opinions are important to me; see what they’re thinking and their reasoning behind it. I’m going to keep my newly formed opinion to myself for a few days and see if it sticks, and then I’m going to forget all about it until mid-june and re boot the research. One thing I am certainly sure about is that we should all care; this decision will affect us all in one way or another. So I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to decide what’s important, how you might be affected and vote.. The decision will affect us all for the rest of our lives.
Staxtonbury festival returns on 1 July after the huge success of last year. This year’s themes will be Grease and Abba. This year the family orientated festival has expanded its glamping facilities, will be showing a film each night in partnership with Moonlight Cinema and have added even more family camping as well as an expansion of the children’s and Jammin’ marquees.

The classic
BACON & CHEESE
burger
YOU WILL NEED • 1 small onion • 1 garlic clove • 500g good-quality beef mince • 1 egg • 1 t spoon worcester sauce • 1 tbsp vegetable oil • Smoked bacon rashers • Cheddar cheese slices
BURGER LOVERS REJOICE
THE METHOD • Finely dice your small onion and garlic clove. • Tip the beef into a bowl with the onion garlic and egg, then season and mix. • Divide the mixture into four. Lightly wet your hands. Carefully roll the mixture into balls, each about the size of a tennis ball. Set in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze down to flatten into patties about 3cm thick. • Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to hot. Brush both sides of the burgers with oil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Also cook the bacon. • Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium hot. Top each burger with a slice of cheese and grill for 2 minutes until bubbling. Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
TAKE A GLAM STAYCATION Glamping, a combination of the word camping and glamorous, is likely to satisfy the needs of any homebody seeking refuge in nature. We for one much prefer this kind of outdoor break. Ah Glamping, a natural retreat for those who want to be at one with the outdoors, without sacrificing their everyday luxuries such as electricity and heating. Guests can enjoy being at one with Mother Nature, but they can also keep warm and charge their phones. Electricity, heating and lighting are provided in every single glamping pod at Falcon Forrest Glamping, North Yorkshire. The 21st century form of camping near Scarborough offers a safe and friendly environment with gorgeous views for families and couples alike. The glamping pods at Falcon Forest Glamping are super cosy and fitted with sheep wool insulation, sleeping up to five people per family pod. Located on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, the glamping site boasts a stunning woodland area enclosing 11 camping pods in total, all lockable with their very own path and decking area. For those of us who are feeling particularly indulgent, there are four luxury bed pods, which are suitable for up to two adults and come with a double bed, bedding, towels, a kettle and tea and coffee supplies. Pet lovers will be pleased to know that they can actually bring their pooches with them, there are two pods on
the site that allow dogs to stay. The glamping site is also adjacent to our family owned, Falcon Inn public house; a 200 year old establishment offering great food and traditional hand pulled ales alongside popular favourites. Dishes at the Falcon Inn are freshly prepared by local chefs. Pub classics such as Steak pie and local fish and chips (With proper mushy peas!) prove extremely popular and are served alongside dishes from the weekly specials board where chefs delight customers with their concoctions. Louise, who has worked at the Falcon Inn since she was 12 years old, remembers her old bosses making mushy peas from scratch and was keen to carry on the tradition. As well as great lodgings, (eight ensuite bedrooms, eleven glam pods) the pub and camping site is situated at the perfect midway point, ideal for visiting many top east Yorkshire destinations such as Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough, Whitby, Ravenscar, Dalby Forest and Goathland.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced in his spring budget that there will be the introduction of a sugar levy on soft drinks. Manufacturers have been given two years to try and bring down sugar levels in drinks before the tax is introduced. George Osbourne has introduced the tax to combat obesity; there will be two tiers: one for drinks with over 5g of sugar per 100 ml and one for drinks with higher sugar content, 8g per 100ml. See the graph for some of the brands that will come under the higher tax bracket if they don’t work on bringing down their sugar levels.

Editor’s pick
The Mayfield, Scarborough has introduced a new menu solely dedicated to burgers . It features classic favourites and quirky creations. For those with off-piste taste they can venture into the Grand Brie, healthy eaters can crush the carbs with the Boot Camp burger and those with a more traditional taste can tuck into the Plain Jane. The Mayfield says in its new menu: “Our 6oz 100% Beef burgers are handmade to our recipe By Glaves of Brompton Butchers, chargrilled and served with a bucket of skinny fries and coleslaw in a brioche bun, filled with lettuce, beef tomato & red onion.” The family run butchers are situated between Scarborough and Pickering, meaning there’s little travel time from field to plate. Younger Mayfield guests can choose from their own new kids’ menu with even more choice. And you can now order jars of baby food from them too. The friendly pub has also introduced Diamond Dining for the over 60s a smaller portion at a smaller price, available lunchtimes Monday to Friday!

Taking the world on; one outfit at a time. THE FESTIVAL OUTFIT
ANYTHING GOES
This environmentally friendly wonder soap has dozens of uses and comes in plenty of scents. We loved the almond scented version which can be used to wash your hair and body, brush your teeth and even clean your make-up brushes, pets and bathroom. With the environment in mind the handy bottle is made out of recycled plastic bottles and is free from synthetic foaming agents, thickeners, preservatives, fragrances, dyes or whiteners. The product left our hands and skin feeling soft and squeaky clean, we’re super impressed and think this is a great step in the right direction to being mindful of the world we live in whilst keeping things clean. Smiles all round.
Festivals serve as the perfect stomping ground for you to wear anything you want. Go get em girl! We love your sequins.

OOPS
Everyone is thinking about getting their golden glows back on in time for their jollies, so are we.
1
TEA BAG TAN
Yes, this is actually something that is going around on the internet right now. You basically make black tea, add some vanialla escence so it smells nice, spray it onto your legs and rub in. For starters we needed to put on about five or six layers before we even noticed a difference. It does give you a darker complexion eventually. Oh and it’s not waterproof either. So don’t let it rain!
2
COCO POWDER AND LOTION
Very simple and easy to make. Blend roughly 1/3 of a cup of coco powder with your body lotion, mix well and apply. Ok now we’ve got to give it to this method, it works after a couple of applications. We should probably mention that we walked around smelling like dense chocolate brownie for a whole day too. Whatever floats your boat we suppose.
Start with clean dry hair, whether you’ve washed it the previous day or have just blow-dried it, either is fine. Protect! Always try to use heat activated products, they protect your tresses but also lead to a smoother finish. Here are a couple of good, affordable products you can use.

You’re a chilled out gal. The festival scene marks the time to throw on some denim and have a good time. Plaits at the ready.

Straight hair could be seen all over the spring/summer 2016 catwalks, from poker straight to a messier more relaxed vibe, there wasn’t a curl in sight. Get that salon-straight hair at home, it’s not as hard as it looks, we promise.

8 STEPS closer TO GLOWING SKIN
1.
Hydrate
8 glasses a day isn’t an old wives tale, you know. Water helps transport oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, which prevents dehydration and aging.
Getting an extra hot shower can strip natural oils and essentially cause mild burning. The older you get the longer it takes to recover from this. Turn that shower down!
5.
3.
6.
Beauty sleep works a treat. Overnight your body renews cells, that’s why skin can look dull and pale the next day if you’ve missed out on those allimportant Zs.
Diet
Eat more nuts and broccoli but less dairy. Dairy contains hormones that can lead to stimulation of oil glands. Nuts are high in the good stuff, omega 3 to be precise, which reduces inflammation.

Before straightening, comb out your tangles and ensure heat protection products are distributed evenly. Hair straighteners with ceramic plates are the way to go for the health of your hair, they distribute heat evenly and glide with ease. Work through your hair in small sections, splitting into three layers allows you to focus on each one individually. Let straighteners glide slowly and smoothly over your strands. Once finished, add a small amount of serum to stop your hair from going frizzy or fluffy.
Sun cream
Prevention is better than cure. Skin damage from the sun accounts for a majority of wrinkles. For full effect, it’s wise to use an SPF 30 every day.
Wash makeup brushes

Sunglasses
They don’t just protect your eyes; they also provide first class protection for that extra sensitive skin underneath. Less squinting = less wrinkles, too.
8.
Clean your phone
The germs think of the germs! Bacteria builds up on those handy pieces of tech, and then you rub it all on your skin when you’re on the phone. Sanitise regularly to prevent break outs and maybe save yourself the odd cold.
Loose powder brushes should be done at least once a month, for foundation brushes, once a week works a treat to stop bacteria in its tracks. Use a gentle shampoo and tepid warm water, let the brushes air dry.

THE Wedding Fayre at The Mayfield in Seamer proved to be a very special occasion. Over 20 exhibitors attended the event which featured a fashion show and demonstrations both inside and outside the stylish venue. Gina Nesbit, who is Events Manager for The Mayfield, said: “Our Wedding Fayres always prove popular but this one really topped it! With a great attendance, we’ve received fabulous feedback from all our guests and exhibitors. “We all had a fun-filled evening with our unique shows, local stalls and staff offering food and drink tasters. It meant all the bride and grooms-to-be were presented with plenty of inspiration for their big day!
SR April 2016.indd 38
“It’s really wonderful to host these successful events and we look forward to welcoming you all back in October, as things can only get bigger and better!” Wedding Photographer Tony Stevens, who was at the fayre, added: “The Mayfield is an ideal venue for these kind of events and it seems to be getting more popular every time. “I personally had a great response and it was brilliant to meet so many people working in this kind of industry all under one roof.” James Berriman from Home James said: “We have done this event a few times and it is always a success. It is a lovely venue and very intimate and it makes people feel part of a great evening and very comfortable. I am sure we will continue to come along.”
THE Wedding Fayre at Scarborough Spa Complex proved to be a resounding success. And organiser David Walker was so pleased with the outcome he is already planning the next one. David said: “It was a truly amazing day and I was absolutely delighted with the response not only for those businesses who attended but also from the potential bride and grooms. “To say it was held on mother's day there was a chance people might not attend, but that didn't happen and it was a terrific event. “Not only myself but many of those who exhibited had a superb response and that is what it is all about. There was everything you could need all under one roof and it was a case of getting the right people together in the right place at the right time. “This was the first time I had organised a wedding fayre myself but I will be doing another and thoroughly enjoyed it.”
The event included two very successful fashion shows which were hosted by local entertainer David Nicholson. He said: “It was great to be involved as host, I thought all the models did really well, from the children right up to the mothers of the bride which was a really nice touch for mother's day .” Shane Atken, owner of Atken Photography added: “The wedding fayre at The Spa Scarborough was a great event. It was fantastic to speak to many brides and grooms looking for advice on weddings not just for 2017 but also 2018.” Liz Wiffen of To Have & To Hold was also pleased with the day, she said: “I was very happy with the wedding fayre and really enjoyed the lovely atmosphere of the day. Scarborough needs wedding fayres like this. It was lovely to have the catwalk shows which were very much appreciated by the audience. The Spa is an excellent location to promote wedding businesses.” n To order prints of these or any pictures taken by Pete Spence email: pete@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 07815290457.

THE FIRST EVER STEAM TRAIN AT SCARBOROUGH’S NORTH BAY RAILWAY WAS LAUNCHED IN FRONT OF A PACKED CROWD AND SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE WAS ON HAND TO CAPTURE ALL THE ACTION.
Georgina on track to be a huge North Bay hit Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IT was full steam ahead at Scarborough's North Bay Railway when their first ever steam locomotive Georgina was unveiled and made her maiden trip. The engine has been built here in Scarborough by the North Bay Railway Engineering Company and is the first of its kind in the country. North Bay Railway Managing Director David Humphries said: “What a day this is. To be able to stand here before you with our first ever steam engine here at the North Bay Railway is unbelievable. “We are very proud to introduce you to Georgina who has been based on a model from an Indian steam locomotive from 1904. “We have done everything to replicate that engine and we are delighted with the results. I would like to thank everyone who has worked on getting us to this moment.”
Georgina was the chosen name for the new steam engine because of a very specific reason. David added: “Georgina is actually the middle name of our chief engineer who worked on the train so it seemed fitting to name her that. “We can't wait for everyone to come along and enjoy their trips with Georgina and it is a wonderful occasion to finally see her on the tracks.” Train driver Steve Johnson added: “This is very exciting for us all as we have only ever had diesel engines. It is completely different and I have had to undergo lots of training to master the steam engine controls but it is definitely worth it. “We can't wait to get going and show what Georgina has to offer.” n To order prints of these or any photos taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review please email: pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 07815290457.

May the force be with you – in the forest Words and photos by Dave Barry
Bigger audiences ensured that Scarborough’s Top Secret blues festival broke even this year. The number of festivalgoers leapt by 30%, estimated organiser Mark Horsley. This means the event didn’t lose money and can consider “ambitious plans” for the future, as Mark put it, without elaborating. It’s an impressive feat for a festival which made the bold leap from a small room at the Cask pub to the relatively massive Spa Ocean Room only last year. The achievement came with minimal paid advertising, no public funding, no largescale sponsorship. Its success is down to a potent combination of word-of-mouth recommendations and the hard work of a doughty team of 15 volunteers. Led by Mark, they represent “all age groups”, he says, including MCs Rich Adams on the main stage and Bob Walker on the acoustic stage. The only people who were paid were the
SR April 2016.indd 42
professional sound engineers, who were worth every penny. Nominated as Blues Festival of the Year in 2015, and described as “wonderful by Radio 2 bluesman Paul Jones, the event was headlined by Aynsley Lister. As musician-in-residence was around all weekend, Aynsley played sets on his own, with his band, with other acts and at midnight jam sessions. Also performing on the main stage were Rebecca Downes, Marcus Malone, Matt Woosey, Tim Aves’ Wolfpack, Willie and the Bandits, Jon Amor & Joel Fisk, Connie Lush, the Revolutionaires Big Band, Till Bennewitz, Kyla Brox, Sam Kelly’s Station House and Red Butler. The line-up on the acoustic stage featured the Leeds City Stompers, Chris James & Martin Fletcher, Karl Moon & Jen Low, Benjamin Bassford, Marcus Bonfanti, Adams & Greaves, Tom Attah, Tortora & Tyzack and TC and the Moneymakers. Next year’s Top Secret blues festival will be from 24-26 March.
A Star Wars trailer was shown at a popup cinema at the old parcel office

Star Wars fans are getting excited about an outdoor screening of the new Star Wars film, in Dalby Forest tonight (1 April).

Coming up are Guy Garvey on 24 June, John Newman on 25 June and Kaiser Chiefs on 26 June. The pop-up cinema will be attended by the UKS Garrison of Stormtroopers and a
host of other Star Wars characters. “Of all the shows we've done over the years, I've never been so excited as I am about this one,” says promoter Mike Lynskey of Sant’Angelo Resources, based at Woodend. “Star Wars in the forest on a massive telly with a garrison of stormtroopers and a bar. What more could you ask for?!” No seating or cover is provided so take picnic chairs and wrap up warm – it can get pretty chilly in the forest at night.

Tickets cost £13.50 for adults and £8.50 for under-16s (no booking fee). They must be bought online and printed at home. The film is scheduled to start at 8pm. Sant’Angelo has previously screened films outdoors at the old parcel office at the railway station, in the town centre, Stepney Hill Farm, Valley gardens in Filey and as far afield as Leeds.

Words and photos by Dave Barry
Hundreds of children squeezed onto the world’s longest railway platform bench to set a new record. The 139-metre bench, at Scarborough railway station, is in the Guinness Book of Records. The organisers of Books by the Beach, the town’s annual book festival, wanted to set a similar record for the most children performing poetry on a railway bench. Led by Yorkshire poet Craig Bradley, about 300 youngsters from North Yorkshire’s largest primary school - Gladstone Road read poetry while sitting on the bench in sunshine.
In partnership with the festival, the school has been taking part in the Dig Reading project. It was co-ordinated by teacher Lesley Dodd and festival co-director Heather French, who said: “The idea was to inspire children through books outside the school walls. They have been reading and writing in gardens, the old parcel office and performing poetry on the platform. “It's been brilliant to engage with the school and every single pupil (over 800) has taken part in some way - either through drama, storytelling, poetry, music or writing creative reviews. “This year we wanted to give Books by the Beach an additional family feel on top of all the adult events we already run”. Books by the Beach will feature a children's day at the library on Saturday 9 April, sponsored by the library’s Friends group. Tickets can be bought at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. The festival is running an Enid Blyton trail for youngsters until 8 April. “It's easy,” says Heather. “Just collect your trail card at the library and get your first sticker as you borrow an Enid Blyton book using your library card. “Collect your second sticker as you pick up your entry form for creating a story entitled ‘Five go on Holiday to Scarborough’. “Pop over to the art gallery and visit the Enid Blyton exhibition, collecting your third sticker. For your final sticker just give your name and contact number at the gallery and enter the prize draw for a chance to win a bag of Blyton goodies”. Books by the Beach runs from 13-17 April. n For details, go to www.booksbythebeach.co.uk
Howlin' Ric and the Rocketeers whip up a storm at the Den. There was a whole lot of rockin' and rollin' at the Den, in the Cask, the night Howlin' Ric and the Rocketeers came to play. Singer/songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Howlin' Ric and his band performed a timeless blend of high-octane rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll. A full house lapped up the energetic Castleford fivepiece’s 1950s rock 'n' roll with a contemporary twist, played on two guitars, sax, drums and upright bass. Tracks included Cannonball, Take the Bottle, Justine and Shake It Baby, Let it Go! According to a Facebook post the next day, the band’s day consisted of:
“Sunshine, van beers, fish and chips, Guinness, ice cream, Guinness, GIG, Guinness, Guinness, Guinness and me and the Rocketeers still managed a kebab at the end of the night. Thanks for having us Tom Townsend Music and the Den great night!” They may have consumed so much of the black stuff because it was Paddy’s Day. The resident Tom Townsend Blues Band is playing at the Den on 7 and 28 April and at a jam night on 14 April. The Adams and Greaves Band can be seen on 21 April.

Gymnastics club bounce their way to success
New type of football firmly in the frame
Members of Scarborough Gymnastics Academy get ready for the bounceathon
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
MEMBERS of Scarborough Gymnastics Academy put in a top effort when they completed a mammoth bounceathon. The fundraising effort was completed over a week at their Barry's Lane venue and has raised money for improvements in facilities. Coach Nicola Walker said: “Congratulations SGA, we made it!! 560 miles bounced in total throughout the week. Wow, put this in to perspective, that means the team has bounced the
Frame Football is taking off in Scarborough OVER these past few weeks I and a few others have been trying to help set up and organise a new sport into Scarborough and surrounding areas. That sport is Frame Football, this is football for children and teenagers with Cerebral Palsy, where they can enjoy the beautiful game. As a disabled person with a passion for sport such as myself it is great to see. I never had anything like this growing up and found it hard to get into any teams. But with the addition of frame football as well as Volleyball, Boccia and cycling things are looking great for the super humans of the east coast. When I lived in Sheffield, I was involved in disabled football with Sheffield FC and was great to see how kicking a ball and being part of a team can help develop a person. Football is a great way to break down barriers, I remember a young boy with autism, he was a very shy young boy and very rarely spoke to anyone out of his family. But he loved football (Blades fan if I remember), but after a few weeks he was joining in and expressing himself on the pitch and was very good. He got picked to go to a tournament in Preston where there were teams from Liverpool FC, Everton, Oldham as well as Preston North End all in the shirts as you would see even with their very own sponsors. When he played his first game he looked nervous, but then he started getting the ball off the opposition a few times and started
SR April 2016.indd 49
working up the gears then out of nowhere he hit the ball so hard it fizzed in the air and was to hard for the keeper to get his fingers to it. It went straight in the net and we all as a team gathered round the goal scorer, it was an emotional day but was the day we couldn't get him to stop. He did it again and again and his confidence grew and he started to talk to opposition players during the game as well as communicating with his team mates. I was in Sheffield and I saw him walking though Crystal Peaks it been some years since I lived there and didn't think he'd recognised me, but as we walked past each over we gave a friendly nod and he had that same smile on his face when he scored that goal in Preston. It's that kind of legacy that I want to help create in Scarborough with Frame Football, but to get things started we need to get some funds to buy frames for the matches and other equipment. I would love to see Scarborough businesses as well as its people helping out and giving what they can. We have a group on Facebook and Twitter or you could donate at the Just giving page www.justgiving. com/framefootball We have an auction going on Facbook where you can bid for Sporting memorabilia or if you have anything to donate you can. n If you want to know more you can contact me at ant@radioscarborough. co.uk
same distance it would take to travel to Brighton and all the way back home. “This is an amazing achievement for all the members of Scarborough Gymnastics academy who were involved in the bounceathon event, all the hard work has definitely paid off. All gymnasts have been motivated and determined to reach the target as a team, but most of all everybody has had fun and enjoyed the challenge.” n For more on Scarborough Gymnastics Academy visit: www. scarboroughgymnastics.co.uk or look for them on Facebook.

The division has moved to a twelve team format for the first time, creating four additional fixtures which will be played on Sundays throughout the season and a closely fought summer is highly anticipated.
Cayton host champions Staithes
REIGNING champions Staithes travel to last season’s runners up Cayton in the game of the week. Staithes are again captained by Ian Dixon and will be favourites to secure a third championship in seven seasons. Simon Bowes remains one of the league’s leading players and along with batsmen Richard Hegarty and Stuart Marsay, will be looking to take the attack to the opposition bowlers. Stuart Theaker returned 43 wickets last season and the seam bowler leads a strong looking pace attack. Cayton’s resurgence during 2015 was one of the highlights of an enthralling campaign and they completed a league double over the defending champions last term. New Captain Rhys Crowe takes over from Darren Foreman but although he has been hit by the news of duo Michael Dennis and Jake McAleese’s decision to move to Folkton and Flixton who play in the York Senior League, Cayton still have a number of exciting young talents, including Tom Sixsmith and Brett Crowe. Ebberston entertain Heslerton in another good looking match up, with both teams capable of excellent cricket and potential title challenges. Thirteen times champions Heslerton will be looking to improve on last season’s fifth place finish and captain, fast bowler Adam Spaven will lead their fine seam attack, alongside Andy Slaughter and Paul Kinghorn. Paul Bowes has returned after spells at Pickering and Filey and will be a significant boost to their batting line up in which Jake Keyworth impressed in 2015. Ebberston’s Jonny Mason had a superb summer last year, hitting 540 runs and will be looking to follow this in 2016. Experienced opener Adrian Turnbull also passed the 500 run mark and if the team make consistently high scores, they could be ones to watch, particularly if Eddie Craggs finds good form. Young bowlers, swing bowler Reece Milner and left arm spinner Sam Hardie made excellent progress during 2015 and could be key performers in the Ebberston attack.
Strengthened Flixton look for good start
Flixton 2nds gained a reprieve from relegation following the restructure and will again play in the top flight this summer. With the news that their first team has strengthened; Mark Shackley’s team should benefit and will be a much stronger looking XI this summer. Youngster Will Hutchinson showed good promise last season, as did Steve Hill and the team should be a blend of youth and experience. They face a Filey side on the opening day who enjoyed a good year but
Jamie Gilbank’s team will be hit with the departure of Paul Bowes to Heslerton but big hitting duo Josh Dawson and Aaron Howard remain in their ranks. Last season Division A champions Mulgrave host Nawton Grange. Mulgrave have achieved successive promotions since they joined the league and possess a fine looking all-round side, including Andy Thompson, Chris Clarkson, former Staithes pace bowler Craig Thompson and wicketkeeper batsmen Kieran Noble. Skipper Simon Kipling will be hoping his team will adapt to Premier Division life quickly but face tricky opponents in Nawton first up. Nawton, again led by Jonny Pickard, are a fine side that proved last season they can upset any opposition and will be hopeful former Yorkshire bowler Nick Thornicroft will be available on a regular basis, plus good form from dangerous pair Charlie Allot and Michael Wearmouth.
Seamer face rivals Valley
Seamer’s return to the top flight sees them host local rivals Forge Valley on the opening day. Gregg Chadwick, who amassed nearly 700 runs in 2015, Dave Graham and Anthony Jenkinson will lead their batting line up and bowling brothers Adam and Matty Morris form their bowling attack, alongside Paul Greenhough. Forge Valley, skippered by left arm seam bowler Carl Jackson, will be looking to improve on last years’ eight place finish. They will be hoping for big runs from Tom Brough, Mick Glew and Joe Bradshaw, who hit two centuries last season to ensure a push up the table. Staxton will again be aiming for a title challenge but the loss of former captain Nick Gibson, who has returned to Sewerby and Elliott Cooper, who is rumoured to have joined Scarborough may affect the balance of their side but they remain a strong looking outfit. New captain James Armstrong will be looking for runs from Chris Dove, Dave Morris and Jodie Robson, while young all-rounders Adam Hargreaves and Linden Gray could have big roles to play. Staxton entertain a Scalby side who impressed many during 2015 despite a ninth place finish. They will again be led by Adam Waugh and have a good team spirit which could serve them well during the summer. Young batsman Brad Walker showed good potential last summer and spin bowler Paul Hesp claimed 30 wickets last time out so he could again prove critical for his side. Opening Round of Matches - Sunday 24th April (1:30pm Start) Cayton v Staithes, Ebberston v Heslerton, Flixton 2nds v Filey, Mulgrave v Nawton Grange, Seamer v Forge Valley, Staxton v Scalby

It has not put me off though and I am determined more than ever to do well there. “I am sure this season will be as tough as ever and the more people start to know about me the more the pressure builds a bit. “I feel in good shape and have been playing football for Newlands FC over the winter. We are on track to win our league so hopefully I can clinch that along with some success on the race track too. “I would like to thank my sponsors WVS Autocare, Road Racing Ireland and JM Engineering. Also a big thanks to the Scarborough Review and Radio Scarborough for all their publicity.”

Boro’s fortunes changed around
the Boro players take part in a minute’s applause before the ilkeston game in memory of scarborough athletic fan alan moffatt WHAT a difference a month makes for fans of Scarborough Athletic. During March Boro have strung together a number of impressive results to move away from the bottom of the table and now find themselves in the Integro Doodson League Cup Final. The turnaround started with a 4-0 thrashing of Carlton Town in the quarterfinals of the League Cup. Recent new signing Eddy Birch grabbed the opener as he turned in a ball across the six yard box, before Tom Corner, who has since moved to NCEL Premier Division side Tadcaster Albion, stroked home a penalty to make it 2-0 at the break. In the second half Boro continued to press forward, with Ryan Blott on target twice to make the final score 4-0 to the hosts. The good form continued in the league with a 2-1 win at Queensgate over Kendal Town. A Tom Corner double gave Boro a second straight league win over Kendal Town. Midway through the first half Corner headed Steve Kittrick's side into the lead with a bullet header from a Steve Mallory corner. Corner doubled the Seadogs advantage early in the second half and despite a late goal from Daniel Forbes for Kendal, Scarborough hung on for the three points. A solid point followed on the road at Bamber Bridge, as Boro held firm with Nicky Draper making a key last save to ensure a point for Boro and continue their unbeaten run. Going into the away game against playoff contenders Northwich Victoria, Boro fans were expecting a tough game and a struggle to get anything from the game. Things started well for the Seadogs though in just the second minute as Tom Corner challenged Vics keeper Mason Springthorpe for a long ball, with the Boro striker winning the ball and nodding it beyond the keeper and into the back of the net to give Boro the perfect start!

Scarborough were pegged on the back foot, with Nick Draper in inspired form to deny Northwich on numerous occasions. Boro continued to create chances with new signings Niall Flint using his pace to get behind the home defence. Boro were forced to hang on at points, but they did enough to earn all three points and an unlikely 1-0 win. Boro were back at the same ground a few days later as they faced Witton Albion, who share the Net Dec Stadium with Northwich. Boro were well in the game and looked to be heading for a point as the score stayed at 0-0 into the closing stages. Steve Kittrick's side were hit on the counter though as they left players forward and when a Boro attack broke down, Niall Flint chased back before clipping the heels of the Witton winger as they charged into the box, with the referee pointing to the penalty spot. With the game in added time, Dan Andrews smashed in the penalty to steal the win. The visit of Premier Division side Ilkeston in the League Cup gave Boro a rest from league action, and the opportunity to make it through to a cup final. The visitors led at half-time as Daniel Jones showing good composure to volley beyond a sprawling Nick Draper. Ryan Blott equalised though in the early stages of the second half, running onto a ball over the top to fire in. With the scores level at full-time, the game went straight to penalties. During the shoot-out, Nathan Peat, Paul Robson, Eddy Birch and Jamie Forrester all scored from the spot before Nick Draper flung himself to his right to push Danny Gordon's penalty onto the cross bar and away. That left Joe Lamplough with the opportunity to send Boro through, a task he completed with confidence to book the club a place in the final. With the feel good factor starting to return, Boro faced Ossett Town at Queensgate. Boro were in command and took the lead when a Steve Mallory
Joe lamplough celebrates with niall flint as his late equaliser earns Boro a point against spennymoor free-kick was helped on by the wind and caused Ossett keeper Chris Backhouse to knock the ball into his own net. The visitors equalised midway through the second half when Nick Wood headed in a Steve Ridley corner, but shortly after Town were reduced to ten men when Reece Farnhill was sent off for a reckless tackle on Dean Lisles. There was late drama in added time though when midfielder Jamie Price, making his Boro debut after a move from Bradford PA, crossed over for striker Niall Flint to crash in a header and win the game for the Seadogs and spark wild scenes among the home fans. The month ended with a difficult trip to Spennymoor, and it certainly looked like a tough afternoon as an early penalty from Joe Tait and a cool finish from Andrew Stephenson gave the Moors a 2-0 lead after just 21 minutes. Boro regrouped and held their nerve, with keeper Rory Skelton making a key save from a one on one to keep Liam Henderson out. Boro gradually crept back into the game, and they were rewarded when a cross from the left was turned in under pressure by home captain Chris Mason. This prompted Boro to surge forward, and in the last minute they were awarded a penalty for handball in the Spennymoor area. As he had done against Ilkeston, Joe Lamplough stepped up to hammer home and complete a remarkable comeback to make it 2-2 at the final whistle. Recent results have ensured that Boro are almost safe from the drop, plus with a cup final to look forward to at the end of April the season could end in style for Steve Kittrick and his young side.

A SuCCeSSFuL TriP To The SeASiDe For yorkShire uNioN
NORTH Cliff Golf Club hosted a prestigious pre-season friendly match between the Yorkshire and Derbyshire Unions on Saturday with both sides fielding some of the top amateur talent from the Northern region. The Yorkshire line-up included four teenagers promoted from last years boys team and they took their opportunities to impress, all of them were undefeated on the day. Darryl Berry the Yorkshire team captain must have been very proud for Barclay Brown (Hallamshire), Bailey Gill and Nathan Fell (Lindrick) and James Cass (Fulford) all of whom performed impeccably both on and off the course. The day started well with the six foursome matches getting away in cool but reasonable weather, however, the conditions then steadily deteriorated as the day progressed as storm Kate blew in from the West. Although Derbyshire drew first blood when their leading pair of Tom Hamson & Sam Claypole raced away and romped home to a 4&3 win over Steve Robins & Will Whiteoak, they then ran into another storm, this time of top drawer golf from the home team. That first win proved to be the only highlight of the morning for the visitors as Yorkshire then won the remaining five games to lead 5 points to 1 at the lunch break. During the break in play the two union teams plus Presidents Jonathan Plaxton (Yorks) and Tony Broadhurst (Derby) were welcomed to North Cliff by the Club President Dave Ellard and they both made short speeches in response. Jonathan Plaxton, a previous junior member of North Cliff, thanked North Cliff for hosting the event and also a number of the members including Clive Duck and Philip Woodcock for their support and encouragement during his early years in the game. The formalities and niceties completed the Yorkshire team then went out suitably motivated and inflicted almost total dominance over their opponents chalking up 11 straight victories, only the last game out going Derbyshires way.

team man Will Whiteoak got Yorkshire on their way after turning an early deficit into a 5/4 victory. Steve Robins of Hull was never behind and closed out his game 3/1. Dan Brown (Bedale), despite just having recovered from a foot injury kept the momentum going with a win 2/1 and he was followed by Kealan Lowe wo lost the first hole but then played really well to finish on top 2/1. The first of the debutants Bailey Gill went out fifth and won an exhilarating game on the last green 1 up. Martin Brown and Luke Robinson were both much too good for their opponents to cope with and both ran out winners by 5/4. By then the weather had turned quite nasty but Ben Hutchinson stuck to his task and dispatched his opponent by 2/1. Three of the debutants then showed their mettle, dealing well with the conditions and holding their nerves Barclay Brown, who is thought to be the youngest player to represent Yorkshire being just over 15 years old, won 2/1, James Cass 1 up and Nathan Fell 2 up all won their games. The only casualty for Yorkshire was Jack Lampkin who nevertheless played well from tee to green but could not get his putter working on the difficult greens and he went down by 5/3. A very pleasing attitude was displayed by the Yorkshire team when they all stayed around and supported everyone else coming in. Darryl Berry said “I like that to happen because that’s what builds team spirit, It’s not a case of them just getting their job done and then going home or sitting in the clubhouse to get warm – they were all out to the end, which was really good, and that’s what I instill in them”. The overall match total ended up showing an overwhelming winning margin of 16 points to 2 in favour of Yorkshire and hopefully that sets them up nicely for the coming season and their defence of their County Championship Title. Foursomes results, Yorks names first; S. Robins & W. Whiteoak lost 4&3 to T. Hampson & S. Claypole; D. Brown & K. Lowe won 3&1 v D. Coop & L. Sinnott; B. Brown & B. Gill won 2&1 v R. Wesselingh & W.

Despite a one week postponement, improvements in the weather and valiant efforts by the green staff, there was insufficient improvement in the course condition at Scarborough South Cliff to allow the staging of the final round of the Scarborough and District Golf Association's Pennant Trophy. As a result, South Cliff were declared the winners of the competition having snatched the lead from front runners Filey at Whitby in the penultimate round. Had the final round been played, home advantage may well have favoured the home club but it was hugely frustrating for Filey not to have the opportunity of trying to regain top spot, particularly as they had not won the Pennant for twelve years. So, the final meeting of the Scarborough and District Golf Alliance season took place at North Cliff Golf Club on Saturday and after the
recent weather disruptions everybody was keen to get back on the course to play competitive golf again over a well prepared full 18 holes. Each member club entered 3 teams of four to play in the AM/AM format with all three team scores to count for the Millennium Trophy, there was also the individual team tankards to play for plus the prize vouchers. South Cliff, who secured the Pennant last week, proved that they were capable of hunting for another trophy, none more so than the four ball of Nigel Middleton, Andy Roberts, Paul Dack and Carl Baldwin, who completed their round with an 11 under par 133 to claim the Tankards by virtue of having the best back nine. Two teams from Malton and Whitby also posted 133, John Preston, John Brown, Ian Johnson and Stuart Dawes (Malton) bettered Whitby’s four of Ian Wiggins, Dave Kirk, S Walker and Steve Ellis on the count back. Malton were the most competitive club team on the day with scores of 11 under, 10 under and 7 under par, giving them a collective score of 404, or 28 under par. That score ensured they retained the Millennium trophy they won last year, when they were the hosting club for the Shotgun Millennium event. The day concluded with the presentation of the trophies by Barry Poynter the Captain of North Cliff. The Pennant Trophy went to worthy winners South Cliff, Andy Roberts accepted the award and apologised to all on behalf of the Captain of South Cliff who could not be present. His acceptance speech also included an explanation for the unfortunate closure of their course last week that resulted in the loss of the last Pennant fixture along with the Ben Fell Competition. The Ben Fell will now be played for at South Cliff in September.
