“We work tirelessly as a group to try and maintain the facility, but it is getting increasingly difficult. I know there are libraries which are now completely community managed such as the one at east Ayton, but it is a massive thing to ask.”

The popular facility on Scalby Road in Scarborough, plays a key role for both the younger and older generations in the community, but could disappear for good because of cuts by North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC).

Carol Brett, from the Friends group, said: “We simply can not allow this wonderful library to be shut down because it is so important to so many people.

They are currently going through a consultation period where they aim to cut their expenditure on libraries by up to £3.6m

“It is a focal point of the village and is used by children and adults on a daily basis. To those who get such pleasure and knowledge and learning to have it taken away would be a tragedy.

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

TONY Baker of Sea View Crescent Osgodby put on a dazzling Christmas lights display and raised over one and a half thousand pounds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Tony’s brilliant lights display at his home in Osgodby caused quite the stir with people going especially to witness the festive treat while also donating money to a cause very close to Tony’s heart.

He explained: “My daughter Stephanie and wife Margaret were involved in an awful accident on the A1 seven years ago and Stephanie was left fighting for her life in a coma.

“If it had not been for the superb response from

“I would like to thank everyone who donated money for the Ambulance through the Christmas lights, and it was a pleasure raising money in such a nice way.

“A grand total of £1,583,55 was raised and a special thanks to Sarah Cowan from Yorkshire Coast Homes who donated £1,000 through their Charity Fund.” n For more on the Yorkshire Air Ambulance visit: www.yorkshireairambulance.org.uk n If you have a story for the Scarborough Review then please contact: pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk or call 07815290457 or 01723 355797.

Dial A Ride running rural trial service

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

DIAl A RIDe in Scarborough are currently running the 118 service after North Yorkshire County Council stopped it just before Christmas. The service originally operated one return trip between Monday and Fridays.

Dial A Ride were approached and asked to operate a replacement service on a three month trial basis but just for two days a week.

The new service runs on Tuesdays and Fridays and leaves Staxton (old school) at 11.00 am picking up at Flixton bus shelter, Folkton lane end, the Ship in Muston, Filey bus station and then on to Morrison’s arriving around 11.30am.

The return journey is at 1.30pm from Morrisons. The cost for the return journey is £3.50. Unfortunately, concessionary passes cannot be accepted.

Dial A Ride manager Julie Banks said: “The big difference is that passengers must pre-book their trips by phoning Dial A Ride on 01723 354434.

“The trial started on December 5 2014 and will run until March 6 2015. Whether or not it continues after then will be dependent on the number of passengers using the service.”

Running man Darren going the distance to raise money for charity Words & pictures by Pete Spence SCARBOROUGH man Darren Trapps is putting in the miles both at work and in his spare time as he raises money for charity.

Darren, 42, put his running gear on after a over a decade of not competing in sporting events, following the death of his partner’s mother.

Darren explained: “I used to play football and cricket locally for teams like Civil Service but had not done for some time.

Headliners Ian Siegal and Guy Tortora

Top Secret blues festival at the Spa Words and photos by Dave Barry CelTIC rock star Pat McManus, gritty Australian artist Rory ellis and Guy Tortora’s Americana band have been booked to play at Scarborough’s Top Secret blues festival in March.

The new venue is much larger and will have two stages.

TC and the Moneymakers and leila Dee, we will be welcoming back the multi-award-winning vocalist Connie lush and crossover star of the blues / soul / rock world, Jo Harman,” says Mark.

SCARBOROUGH lady Hayley Pickles has been bringing smiles to plenty of faces in and around the area after taking up her role as a Community Champion for Tesco.

And Hayley also offered up a chocolate treat for pupils at Woodlands Academy (School) in Scarborough after winning a raffle.

Hayley said: “My role of Community Champion for Tesco basically means I go out in the community and help local groups with fundraising events or volunteering my time.

“I’ve really enjoyed going to the Open Arms at eastfeild and helping with the food bank there for example.

“We’ve also been able to give out small amounts of money to local groups so they can buy raffle prizes to help grow their charity or organisation.”

Darren has completed the Scarborough 10K and is all set to take part in the Silverstone Half Marathon at the famous race course on March 12.

He added: “I am looking forward to that but it will be a challenge for me. I have to thank my partner and my daughter Mia for supporting me. Mia comes out training with me and usually follows me around on her bike. This time last year I could not run one kilometre and the Silverstone event is 21KM, so it shows what you can do if you set your mind to it.” n To support Darren visit his just giving page at: www.justgiving.com/darrentrapps

Champion effort from Tesco Hayley!

by Pete Spence

“My partner Susan Richardson’s mum died of pancreatic cancer in 2008 and I decided I wanted to get fit and raise money to help the hospice who supported her.

This is a new role for the Scarborough Tesco store although other stores have had Community Champions for several years.

Hayley added: “As a community champion I am able to give out gift cards to spend in store to help grow local charities. For me the best part is being able to go along and help when they have events and volunteer my time. Also we’ve been able to help the Salvation Army with food to help support their winter food kitchen.”

Hayley won a raffle in another supermarket which was raising cash for Woodlands School with their Christmas Raffle, but she also decided to donate the prize back to the school.

She said: “It was a giant chocolate robin I won in Sainsbury’s and I thought the kids at Woodlands would do a better job at tackling it than me.”

If any local organisations or charities would like Hayley’s help then please ask at Tesco Scarborough, Westwood.

New community centre welcomes residents Words and photo by Dave Barry

CASTle COMMUNITY NeTWORK is looking forward to welcoming more residents to its new community centre the Base, at 46 Cross Street, Scarborough.

Since opening its doors in September, the response from residents wishing to help has been very positive, says a spokesperson.

Most activities are managed by volunteers. Subjects include IT help and tuition, administration, craft sessions, office services (photocopying, laminating and graphics) and information on local services and support.

Recent recruit Dominic Roe said: “I recently moved to the area and answered an advert for volunteers. I wanted to work in a place that fostered community spirit. It is a friendly and vibrant centre and I enjoy my volunteering here.”

Anyone aged over 50 can access free taster sessions using a laptop, tablet or other devices.

Yorkshire Coast Homes tenants have their tuition paid for by their landlord.

IT tuition is one-to-one with refreshments available to learners.

Three craft sessions are held every week - multi-media crafts on Monday, from 10.30am - 12.30pm; drawing and painting on Tuesday, from 10am - 12 noon; and button crafts on Wednesday, from 1 – 3pm.

Funding has just been secured to extend craft activities to three more sessions open to Castle ward residents.

A garden club for local residents will begin in March.

CCN would like to provide more opportunities for people to meet and socialise at the Base and the group welcomes ideas for new activities.

The charity employs a community organiser, Christine Mackay, who will be out and about, speaking to residents.

She said: “We really want our community centre and all CCN activities to be run by residents for residents. We can provide the resources and practical help to get things up and running and offer as many different opportunities for socialising and learning as we can”. n To find out more, ring the Base on 01723 372712. The charity’s website, www.castlecommunitynetwork.org, is in the process of being updated. The Base is open Monday to Thursday, 10am – 4pm.

Manor Road Nurseries growing strong in 2015 Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THe re-furbished Manor Road Nurseries has made a blooming great start to 2015.

Dorothy Russell, chair’ of the Friends of Manor Road Nurseries shop said: “The shop is off to a flying start for 2015 with a spectacular blaze of colour from high quality Primroses.

“The shop also has a selection of Hydrangeas grown from cuttings from the varied collection of plants from across the Borough plus evergreen shrubs. These are all reasonably priced and of the quality that has helped win the Borough many awards.”

Mrs Russell hopes the recentlyrefurbished shop will attract more customers than before. She says that support from the public and media enabled the Friends to keep this facility open and now the task is to develop the business in order to establish it firmly amongst the Borough’s gardeners. n For further information contact Dorothy Russell on 01723 373292 or email: eric371@btinternet.com

Community workshops produce lots of fun!

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

TWIlIGHT Productions are taking their skills out and about to local communities.

And they kicked off their programme of workshops with an open day session at the Gallows Close Centre on endcliffe Crescent.

Dave Nicholson, from Twilight, said: “It was a very fun open day and it was great to meet local families ahead of the workshops. Throughout the day youngsters popped in and chatted, played games, learned to sing songs and perform dance routines.

“We have a base at the YMCA leisure Centre in Scarborough but we felt it was important to get out to venues such as the Gallows Close Centre in the communities, for those who may not necessarily be able to come to us.”

The series of workshops start from January 31 from 10.30am-12pm. The sessions include learning dance moves, silly games that encourage confidence, singing techniques, party dances, voice work, laughter and most importantly making new friends. n For more information or to register for the workshops please ring 01723 378102 or email: gallowsclosecentre@gmail.com.

“Over the years I had several roles with the club including programme editor and running the supporters’ club.

THe man who won the Scarborough Review Boro competition is certainly no stranger to the club. eric Pickup, 70, of Hovingham Drive, Scarborough, has supported his local club for over 60 years and was even match sponsor at their first ever Football league game against Wolves at the Athletic Ground in 1987. eric said: “It is fantastic to have won the competition as I go and watch the new set up as much as I can.

Hospice supporter wins £3000

Scarborough Orchestra brings in top brass Fresh from his New Year’s Day concert on worldwide television with the Vienna Philharmonic, Ian Bousfield will be heading to Scarborough next month to perform the Trombone Concerto by Nino Rota, a composer best known for his Oscar-winning film scores for the first two Godfather films.

By Krystal Starkey

“This is an incredible coup for our orchestra to perform with such a world class musician” said Shaun Matthew, conductor of the Scarborough Symphony Orchestra. “Once again Scarborough’s thriving amateur orchestra will be providing an unforgettable musical occasion for local concertgoers.” he said.

Live music proves the key at Scarborough cafe-bar Lottery winner, Lianna. lIANNA Joy, who had left her phone for the week, had been enjoying a January break with her family in a log cabin out in the sticks, unaware of the £3000 that was at home waiting for her.

When the hospice supporter returned from Scotland and caught up with her messages she discovered that Saint Catherine’s lottery staff had been trying to contact her to tell her she had won first prize in their Christmas draw. .

“It was a lovely surprise, really lovely,” she said. lianna has been a member of the hospice lottery for years. She works part-time at the hospice shop in Falsgrave and raised £500 for Saint Catherine’s when she did a charity parachute jump.

She bought her tickets for the Christmas draw months ago and never gave them another thought until the call came telling her she’d won. Now she is looking forward to treating her children, Orla, six, and Anya, three.

THe debut live music gig at Thrumbles Cafe-Bar on Victoria Road in Scarborough was a resounding success.

The venue was packed out for the inaugural event which featured local artist Connor lawlor and York band Fallen empires.

Thrumbles owner Aaron Ward said: “It was a great night and at one point we were a bit concerned that we would not be able to accommodate everyone!

“With us having a small and compact venue it meant everyone was interacting and the atmosphere was fantastic.” “everyone would stop and listen intently to the great artists we had showcasing their

talent and overall I was delighted with the outcome.”

The artists were recorded and Aaron has produced a mixed video of the night which he will post on the Thrumbles Facebook page and on Twitter.

Music sessions will continue at Thrumbles every Friday night, starting from around 8pm, although it is recommended to get there early to avoid disappointment.

Aaron added: “Thank you to everyone who came and made the night special and a big thanks to Connor lawlor and Fallen empires who were amazing and performed brilliantly.

“Also cheers again Pete Spence and the Scarborough Review for coming down and for continuing to help show what a great community we have here in Scarborough.”

The concert takes place at Scarborough’s Methodist Central Hall in Queen Street at 7.30 pm on Saturday, February 7. There is an optional free talk about the music beforehand at 6.45pm. Free parking is available.

Admission is £10 and £8.50 for concessions. Children up to 16 and fulltime students are free. n Full details of all the season’s concerts as well as current vacancies are available on the orchestra’s website.

SCAlBY & Newby library provides a local hub of activity for many across the area from reading books, to using their IT facilities, to holding charity events and for many as a way of socialising with others from the community.

The Friends of Scalby & Newby library work to raise money for not just the running of the facility, but also local charities.

Their Crafty Articles knitting group has done tremendous work in raising money

Carol Brett added: “The library brings people together from the young children who come in on their way home from school, to the adults and senior citizens who also make use of the facility and the wonderful books and information available.

“I still maintain that this, and other

community libraries are vitally important because not everyone is able to get into the main library in the town centre.

Hopefully with the support of the Scarborough Review and the public we can do something about maintaining its future.”

Dear Editor A Happy New Year to you and congratulations to all your team for an excellent newspaper.

My husband Michael first introduced me to the Scarborough Review and now we always look forward to it every month.

I have been writing country and coastal features for 34 years and wondered whether your readers could help me solve a problem?

We have recently discovered Jonno’s Field in Barrowcliff and its remarkable sculptures on the hilltop.

I would be grateful if any of your readers could provide any information on the area, its history and the sculptures.

I am intrigued to discover more about this wonderful place.

From, Maureen & Malcolm Robinson Scarborough

Dear Editor I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has been tuning into the Twelfth Man sports show on Radio Scarborough.

It has been a massive hit for us and Anthony Taylor has been a revelation as the main presenter and producer.

Anthony is a hugely passionate football fan and it comes across in his infectious manner when he speaks about the game.

We have some great help from the likes of Will Baines at Boro matches and Dave Campbell at the Scarborough Rugby games; both providing excellent updates.

We are on the look out for any keen Bridlington Town or Pickering Town

n If you have any information on Jonno’s Field or would like to supply a letter to the Scarborough Review then please email: pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk or write to me: Scarborough Review, 9 Wykeham Street, Scarborough YO12 7SA.

Dear Editor We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the coverage you gave our group in the last edition of the Scarborough Review.

It is often difficult for smaller voluntary groups like ourselves to get publicity so it is hugely appreciated.

It is great that volunteers and people in the community who give their time for free

are recognised.

We have had a brilliant start and with the continued hard work and generosity of everyone involved I am sure we can continue to succeed.

So once again thanks to everyone who has helped.

Dear Editor I was delighted to read Callum Day’s poetic and very moving opinion (Issue 17 of the Scarborough Review) of Scarborough, past and present.

Dear Editor I have written five novels currently under my pen name of Malcolm Bruce, all a continuing saga of the fictional saga of the Sheader family of Scarborough.

However, the first novel, Thunder From The Sea, was set during the Scarborough bombardment which as an ex-employee of the Royal Navy had my special interest. I made a deep study of the bombardment as I knew of the connection between events of 100 years ago and

supporters who may fancy giving us some updates from their matches.

The more teams we can cover then the better, and hopefully we can continue to progress what already is an exciting show.

If you can help then please email: ant@radioscarborough.co.uk Kind regards Jerry Scott Radio Scarborough all our lives today, a rather disturbing one it has to be said. The letter in your paper from Charles Agar (Issue 17) still highlights some of the facts people don’t fully understand. The attack by Derfflinger and Von der Tann, both of them battle cruisers, was carried out by their secondary armament of six inch calibre guns, still big guns it has to be said! The armour piercing shells for the two ship’s main armament was reserved in case they came into contact with units of the British fleet, which luckily for them they did not.

I have been doing a number of talks about this and the disturbing and worrying connection with today, entitled The Scarborough bombardment from a different perspective. I will be giving this illustrated presentation at Scarborough library on May 14 at 7pm, all are welcome.

Kind regards Malcolm Bruce

Friends groups.

Sadly, although our Mere still retains its natural beauty, and credit due to the current owners of the lakeside cafe, any hope for restoration to its former glory has almost certainly been abandoned.

Callum Day’s final comment ‘what next ?’ is worth bearing in mind.

Yours faithfully Charles Braithwaite Scarborough

Donate your gifts and support hospice!

SAINT Catherine’s Hospice is appealing for help to turn unwanted Christmas gifts and bottles of booze into money for patient care.

Fundraiser Debbie Kay said that unwanted gifts and Christmas leftovers like unopened wine and chocolates could really help. “We know there will be many people out there who received extra or unwanted gifts, especially bottles of wine or spirits over Christmas,” she said. n Donations can be left at the hospice reception or anyone wanting to help can contact the fundraising department on 01723 378406 to arrange collection.

Oscar Winners in the Winter Garden IT’S currently award season and the papers are full of this actor and that actress who are hoping to win accolades in Hollywood.

In the Muck and Magic garden the Oscar for plant of the month is awarded to our beautiful snowdrops which are eagerly awaited every year. Once established, these stars of the winter garden will generally look after themselves but they can be a little tricky until they feel at home. Given a little attention in the early stages snowdrops will repay your kindness by flowering for many years to come. Best planted in a heavier soil that won’t dry out too quickly, the bulbs will appreciate some shade from nearby trees and shrubs. Open woodland or planting in grass is ideal. A favourite question for the muck and magic gardeners concerns planting and replanting of snowdrops.

Many people ask why the bulbs can’t be planted in autumn like

daffodils or tulips. Snowdrops are best planted whilst they still have their green leaves intact - just after the flowers have faded in February or March. If you want to move some plants in your own garden or you have been offered some bulbs from a neighbour dig up and divide the clumps as soon as flowering is over. Don’t delay in replanting as the bulbs won’t appreciate drying out and may take some time to recover. established snowdrops will always appreciate a dusting of bonemeal fertilizer when the

flowers are fading and this will help build up the bulbs for next season.

Wrap up warm and get out and enjoy these hardy spring messengers which have a perfect feel good factor. A great pick me up on a cold winter day.

Penguin Family reunited

By Krystal Starkey

Work on a spectacular new attraction at Scarborough Sea life has led to 12 resident Humboldt penguins taking a short break at the Sanctuary’s sister attraction in Great Yarmouth.

The move has brought penguin mum Clumsy back together with son Nester and daughter Mumbles and introduced her for the first time to her three granddaughters.

The reunited family will have until mid-March to reminisce before the Scarborough penguins head back to their smart new enclosure with their six new friends from Belgium.

“They will find a new enlarged penguin paradise complete with spectacular new rockwork and a waterfall and stream feeding into their spacious dive pool,” said Scarborough Sea life’s lyndsey Crawford.

MOMeNTUM is growing for Newby & Scalby in Bloom for 2015 after they received a generous donation from a local store.

Proudfoot Food Stores kindly gave the group £1,000 to help them buy gardening tools and equipment.

And this major boost comes as the group put plans in motion for their big annual plant sale which this year has a new venue.

The third annual plant sale takes place at Scalby Parish Hall on Scalby Road on Saturday May 30 between 11am-2pm (previously held at the Rosette).

And this year’s event is set to be bigger and better than ever.

Newby & Scalby in Bloom member Sue Groom said: “We are delighted that Proudfoot have continued to support us and the money they have given is really does help.

“The tools and equipment we need do not come cheap and it means we can continue our work to the highest standards possible.”

As well as there being cut flowers, geraniums, bedding plants and vegetables on offer at the plant sale there will also be a bumper raffle with a £100 prize.

FORGOTTEN SCARBOROUGH - THE PEOPLES PALACE

by Margot Walker HOW many people living in Scarborough have seen the buses running from the park and ride on Seamer Road to a destination called Aquarium Top and wondered where it is? And even if they know that, have wondered where the name came from?

The bus stop for Aquarium Top is situated at the bottom of Ramshill Road, at the roundabout leading off to the Spa and right beside the underground car park. A pretty insignificant setting for what was once the jewel in Scarborough’s crown.

The correct title for this entertainment complex was The People’s Palace and Aquarium. The original plan was for it to be a medicinal baths and spa, banking on Scarborough’s reputation of being a Spa town and the first seaside resort of its kind in Britain. However, these best laid plans were eventually set aside in favour of a completely different project.

The architect commissioned to design the complex was eugene Birch (1818 – 1884) who had previously designed the Brighton Aquarium and the Blackpool North Pier Indian Pavilion. Birch’s association with Scarborough had actually begun several years earlier as he was the architect behind the design of the North Bay Pier which opened in 1869, only to be closed

A poster advertising a Victorian attraction

and dismantled after storm damage in 1905.

His work and design was inspired by Hindu temples and architecture and a painting by an unknown artist hangs in Scarborough Art Gallery, depicting what the ballroom looked like in its heyday.

The Peoples’ Palace and Aquarium opened on Whit Monday, 1877. The cost of admission was one shilling (5p in today’s money) and those Scarborough residents who flocked to see it were met with a ‘veritable cornucopia’ of delights and eccentricities. The Palace stretched over 2.25 acres and included a concert hall, a reading room, dining area and a fernery.

The aquarium itself held over 75,000 gallons of water making it (at that time) the largest aquarium tank in the world.

It was also used for swimming exhibitions and in 1880 Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to swim the english Channel unaided, paid a visit and, apart from a couple of four minute breaks, allegedly swam for 74 hours non-stop.

In addition to all of that the Palace also played host to a zoo featuring lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants and exotic birds. The zoo eventually closed in 1913.

Unfortunately, the enterprise wasn’t financially successful and in 1886 it was sold to a Mr William Morgan. He made a point of promoting live entertainment, introducing such exotic acts as Umran the Armless Wonder, Zasma the Acrobat

How the Aquarium looks today and Ada Webb – empress of the Sea. In addition to those wonders, he also introduced a theatre, a swimming pool and an ice rink. Despite all of this, however, the Peoples’ Palace still found itself in financial difficulties and was eventually taken over by Scarborough Council in 1925 and renamed Gala land.

It was in 1925 when Gala land found itself in the national press when a tram crashed through the roof of the ballroom.

The tram had apparently lost its grip of the tracks as it ascended Vernon Road and slipped backwards, eventually plummeting 30 feet into the ballroom.

In its heyday, Gala land was the ultimate entertainment complex of the time, as well as being host to several

visiting demonstrations, one of which was The Televisor, long before John logie Baird developed the first television.

Scarborough Council also added to the number of entertainments and curiosities to be experienced. It was host to the Thelma Hammond Orchestra which played there twice a day and was unusual inasmuch as it was an allfemale orchestra, a phenomenon virtually unheard of at that time. There was a rollercoaster which had a route around all the rooms – even the palatial ones!

You could watch spear-wielding dancing Zulus on a daily basis. And, if that wasn’t enough, you could enjoy a dip in the swimming pool, get lost in the maze or play on the turn of the century curiosities such as automatons and ‘What the Butler Saw’ machines. And all whilst being underground.

However, as had always been the case, Gala land finally ran again into financial difficulties mostly due to the proliferation of dance halls and picture houses springing up, and young people seeking out new and different forms of entertainment, and in 1966 Gala land closed its doors for the final time. It was eventually demolished and mostly filled in, leaving enough space for the underground car park which we are familiar with today.

And the name Aquarium Top that we see on buses? Well, that’s a reference to the glory days when the top of the aquarium used to stick up – where the roundabout is today.

Sex, murder and Strictly – it’s all in Books by the Beach Report by Dave Barry

THe anniversaries of Magna Carta and Waterloo; chills in Scarborough prison; Hercules Poirot in the Town Hall; murder on Strictly Come Dancing; and Sex in the library.

These are just some of the treats in store at this year’s Books by the Beach, the Scarborough book festival running from April 15-19.

Co-directors Heather French and Peter Guttridge are returning for a second year.

“We’re putting the finishing touches to a few events but we’re pretty much there,” says Heather.

The line-up includes several top crime writers. Peter James will discuss the stage versions of his Roy Grace novels; psychological thriller writer Sophie Hannah will host a Poirot dinner at the Town Hall; and SJ Watson will discuss Second life, his follow-up to worldwide bestseller Before I go to Sleep, with novelist louise Doughty, whose foray into crime fiction, Apple Tree Yard, was a major success last year.

Former MP Ann Widdecombe, best known these days for her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, will discuss her debut crime novel Dancing Detective – set, naturally, in the world of a televised dance competition.

It’s 800 years since King John signed the

Magna Carta and 200 since the Battle of Waterloo – both of which come up at the book festival.

“It’s not widely known but King John visited Scarborough on a number of occasions,” Heather says. “So there is a local link.”

One of the festival coups is an event with BBC radio director Helen Boaden, focussing on radio and storytelling. The award-winning broadcaster has strong local connections.

“We were so pleased with the support we received for last year’s festival we’ve tried to make this one even better,” says Heather. “Fingers crossed that we have succeeded!” ‘‘We’re thrilled that all our partnerships from last year are continuing,” she says. local sponsors include Boyes and Wold Top Brewery. “Bestseller beer is back,” Heather says. “But there’s also a competition in the pipeline linked to a ‘literary beer’ coming soon.

“Once again, the festival wouldn’t be possible without the support in kind of the town council and the county council library service,” Peter adds. “The majority of events will take place in the library’s magnificent concert hall but we’ll also be using the Town Hall and the old prison.”

n Further big names and events will be announced on the festival website, www.booksbythebeach.co.uk, Facebook (BooksbytheBeach) and Twitter (@scarboroughbook). Tickets will go on sale in a few weeks.

Winter is the time I concentrate on giving advanced lessons to surfers who have had a bit of experience (and are fully aware of how cold the weather will be). I don’t try to teach beginners in winter, as the cold is a bit much for all of us.

Word & Pictures by Steve Crawford SO the new year is upon us with an a vengeance.

The month of dread, as the imminent creak of the letter box heralds the arrival of the credit card bill that made Christmas great. The cold weather, snow and hail and the drab, drab mornings. It is one of the months surfers hate more than most, because not only do we have all the above to contend with we also have to go in the freezing North Sea as well. I don’t expect any sympathy from you all as you could probably say it’s all our own fault and we should do something more sensible in winter like sitting in front of the fire, drinking tea and eating biscuits. Well, that works for most folks but it is actually my job to take people into the sea in winter, so I think I deserve at least a little sympathy. The morning before I wrote this column I was sat above North Bay in the snow, waiting for a guy so I could take him for a

Onto serious things, I’ve organised a Surfers Against Sewage beach clean on South Bay for February 14th as part of the Coastival festival.

So, if you can drag yourself away from the other exciting events that Coastival have planned (and Valentine’s Day), it would be great if you could spare a little time to join us and make the beach a cleaner, safer place. Meet 12pm on the beach, near Spa bridge roundabout. All ages welcome, but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. All equipment is provided - just bring yourselves and a load of enthusiasm. We will finish at 2pm but you don’t have to do the full two hours; any time you can spare will be appreciated.

Another great event coming up is the film night in support of The British Museum of Surfing. The winner of the 2014 Surfer poll movie of the year, Strange Rumblings in Shangri la will be shown on February 25 at 8pm at Blue Crush Bar at the Sands Complex on North Bay. Tickets are available for £5 from Blue Crush or by calling 01723 362450 to reserve.

The Film is a mix of high performance surfing, amazing cinematography and glorious locations.

Shot in 16mm and made, as all good surf films should be, with plenty of soul.

Look out for porpoise, dolphins and whales off Scarborough Report by Dave Barry

THe seas off Scarborough are home to a wide variety of animals known as cetaceans.

Seven types of porpoise, dolphin and whale have been seen off the Yorkshire coast in the last 12 months.

While harbour porpoise are a common sight from the Marine Drive, you could also see minke whale, bottlenose dolphin and white beaked dolphin if you were lucky.

An information board has been placed on the sea wall on the Marine Drive to help people identify species.

The commonest species which can be seen from the Marine Drive almost every day is the harbour porpoise.

A cousin of the dolphin, it is dark grey and is about 1.3 - 1.5 metres long, with a triangular dorsal fin visible as it surfaces

to breathe.

During December 2014 alone, some 83 harbour porpoise were recorded off the Marine Drive, either individuals or groups of up to six.

The Marine Drive is one of the best places in the UK to see these animals and the best time is between December and April.

“If you live in or visit Scarborough, you have a fantastic opportunity to see these exciting animals when you walk around the Marine Drive”, says Stuart Baines, an assistant regional coordinator for the Sea Watch Foundation in Yorkshire.

SWF is a national charity working hard to improve the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises in British and Irish waters.

It monitors numbers and locations of whales, dolphins and porpoises around

Scarborough Review, February - Issue 18 - 19

the UK through a network of over 1,000 observers. They gain valuable knowledge of the health of the marine environment and insight into the effects of chemical pollution, noise disturbance, over-fishing, accidental capture in fishing gear and climate change.

SWF aims to involve the public in scientific monitoring; raise awareness and understanding of marine mammals and the threats they face; and educate, inform and advise people for better environmental protection.

SWF relies on the public to provide details of cetacean sightings, which in Scarborough can be reported to Mr Baines via the Scarborough Porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages or by email: stuart@baines1994.fsnet.co.uk. n The Sea Watch Foundation can be contacted on sightings@seawatchfoundation.org.uk.

Auk invasion jams phone lines at Sea Life Sanctuary

SCARBOROUGH Sea life Sanctuary’s phone lines have been jam packed with reports of penguins off the Yorkshire coast.

Beach walkers and bird spotters contacted the Sanctuary to ask if any of its resident Humboldt penguins had escaped, after sighting penguinlike birds floating offshore.

“Happily it’s just a case of mistaken identity,” explained Senior Aquarist Todd German.

“This year we’ve been more than usually inundated because of exceptionally large numbers of ‘little auks’ appearing close to shore on their migration from the Arctic down to wintering grounds in the North Atlantic.” Todd said.

Todd and his colleagues suspect some of the callers were fooled by the fact that the Sanctuary’s penguins are currently absent, but happily they are just lodging at a sister attraction while their enclosure is redeveloped.

Scarborough Councillior David Chance (far left), Councillor Andrew Backhouse (on bike) and Welcome To Yorkshire ‘s Janet Deacon (far right) and pupils from George Pindar School celebrate the announcement of the Scarborough stage of the Tour de Yorkshire

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

lOCAl businesses in the Scarborough area are upbeat and ready to welcome the Tour de Yorkshire.

Scarborough has been selected as the official stage one finish location for the race on Friday May 1.

The race route will enter the south of the borough after a start in Bridlington and make its way via Hunmanby, Cayton, eastfield, east Ayton, Forge Valley and Hackness to Dalby Forest before going through the Ryedale district.

It will then re-enter the borough on the North York Moors, going through Castleton, Danby, Glaisdale, egton and Sleights before arriving in the heart of Whitby.

Competitors will race past Whitby railway station, across the swing bridge, along Church Street, up Green lane and along Hawsker lane.

The route will then go through High Hawsker, Robin Hood’s Bay and Fylingthorpe before joining the

A171 for the ride towards Scarborough. The route into Scarborough will take the A165 Burniston Road to Peasholm roundabout and will then progress along North Marine Road and Castle Road, through the town centre via Aberdeen Walk and Vernon Road.

It will then make its way along South Bay via Foreshore Road, Sandside and Marine Drive, round the castle headland onto Royal Albert Drive for a finish just beyond the Oasis Café with a wonderful backdrop of the sweeping North Bay and Scarborough Castle.

Ashley Tyson, owner of Stepney Hill Farm, said: “This superb event will bring a lot of business to the town and surrounding villages.

“I was fortunate enough to be involved in the very first Ride the Bos cycle race last year and some of that breathtaking route is also being used for the Tour de Yorkshire.”

Henry Digby, of Yorkshire Coast Cycle Repairs, added: “It is very exciting news about the Tour de

Yorkshire coming here. I hope to lots of families and bike enthusiasts will come along in huge numbers and enjoy what Scarborough has to offer.”

Mark Simpson, manager of The Grainary, commented: We’re really happy that the Tour De Yorkshire has chosen Scarborough and the surrounding areas for their route.

“Being based in Harwood Dale, we regularly get cyclists visit our Tea Rooms and comment on how good the roads are.

“The tour really brings a chance to put some of the smaller villages in the county on the map, and speaking on a business level we look forward to the extra exposure as well. We are already getting enquiries for our B&B which is fantastic.”

Kev Sykes, owner of the Old Vic, added: “I think it is fantastic for our local economy and tourism in general. I believe it will attract lots of people to the area to witness the breathtaking views we have to offer.”

Scarborough Strata by Will Watts Helping women go self-employed

Will Watts WelCOMe to the first in a series of a new regular article in the Scarborough Review that will explore the geological history of Scarborough and the surrounding area. each month we will take a look at a piece of the world famous geology that helps make our coastline so special; this will range from an entire landscape to a single rock or fossil or a combination of these.

Firstly I should introduce myself, I have lived in Scarborough for the last 12 years and until 2013 worked for the museums in the town. As a geologist I was lucky enough to work on the 2008 re-development of the Rotunda Museum, and prior to that I ran the Dinosaur Coast project.

Having spent my childhood living in and around the North York Moors National Park the coastline has always played an important part in my life, starting with fossil hunting trips for birthdays as a young lad, a fascination that has never left me.

So why Scarborough Strata? The word strata is one of the terms used by geologists to describe a

layer of rock, it is also a word that will feature a lot in 2015 as we celebrate an important geological anniversary.

Two hundred years ago, William ‘Strata’ Smith, the Father of english Geology, published the first geology map of england and Wales, we will take a proper look at the map in a future article, but a replica of the map is on display at the Rotunda Museum.

Smith was instrumental in the setting up of the Rotunda Museum which was built in 1829 by the Scarborough Philosophical Society, to whom we will also return, but to whet your appetite for future articles I want to leave you with a quote from Smiths nephew, Professor John Phillips written in 1825 “Scarborough’s Castle Hill is surely the finest spot for a geologist that the whole earth contains”, a sentiment that it is hard to argue with. n See what else Will is up to by visiting: www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk

Scarborough architectural company has the best laid plans

IT has been a busy time for those working at Markham-Inc recently. The Scarborough-based Architectural practice has been serving both local residents and those from further afield for over seven years now.

It is a motto that has served them well as they have built up an a dedicated following of clients, all looking for innovative design in a cost conscious world.

“We are always happy to help with challenging project, the company has dealt with many interesting schemes over the years whether it’s new housing, extensions, commercial schemes or health service projects,” explained Markham-Inc’s Managing Director, Philip Markham.

“We’ve had some very exciting projects over the past seven years. Not only have we been able to gain planning approval to relocate the Knipe Point residents from a crumbling cliff to a new area of Scarborough, but we have have also had one of our schemes chosen to be featured on BBC’s empty Homes.”

Despite having his designs on TV, Philip has no plans to star in front of the cameras.

“I enjoy working with people who either have a real need to change their homes or just wish to extend and create their own grand designs,” he said. “”It’s amazing how you can can get a completely different feel to your home by adding a dash of new design and inspiration.” n Contact Philip on 01723 378263.

business awards hoping to soar for yorkshire Air Ambulance Words & Pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THe Chamber Yorkshire Coast Business Awards are delighted to announce that the 2015 event beneficiary will be the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

It may surprise you to know that the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity relies on the generosity of individuals and organisations to help save lives across Yorkshire.

In fact as a Charity they only receive help through secondment of paramedics from the NHS, through Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust. To keep both of Yorkshire’s air ambulances in the air they need to raise £9,990 per day.

This is equivalent to £3.6 million per year. As a rapid response air emergency service the Charity serves a population of approximately five million people across four million acres.

This includes the entire catchment area of the Chamber Yorkshire Coast Awards. The event organiser, Geof Humphrey said: “We are all looking forward to supporting this fantastic cause at the 2015 event, and hope that the 600 business leaders in attendance will join with us in raising funds for this extremely worthy charity.” n Further details about the event can be found at www.cbycba.co.uk or by Geof Humphrey at: nesl@btconnect.com

AFTeR 50 years in the same family, Hardies Patisserie has a new owner.

Ian and Jo Hardie have sold the shop and bakery business in Victoria Road to Mr Ian Firth.

Ian has worked for Hardies Patisserie for the last 10 years as a baker and

confectioner and he took over the running of the business in January.

Ian said: “It is a very exciting and busy time for me but I am looking forward to the challenge of running the patisserie myself after learning a lot over the past decade working for for Ian and Jo. “When I discovered there was an opportunity to take the business on I didn’t think twice about it and I am

Ooh! Look at these lovely cakes, yum!

delighted to be up and running with it now.”

Ian has retained some staff from the old regime including former Huntriss Row shop manager Searah Pearson and Bridget Carney.

The Huntriss Row shop and Tea Rooms closed on December 13, due to the end of the lease and a planned re-development of the property by the landlord.

Ian and Jo plan to concentrate their efforts on their other business interests.

Ian Firth added: “Hardies has such a well established name in the area and it is my intention to continue that with the same level of quality and to also introduce one or two new ideas.

“We still supply many local businesses and I would like to thank all those who use our services.

“All our sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, soups and salads are made fresh on site and I don’t think people always realise that we have a large on-site bakery here on Victoria Road.

“We also want to be an integral part of what is once again a thriving area of Scarborough. Victoria Road has seen quite a few new outlets open in the past couple of years and there is a real community spirit amongst the businesses.

“If we can help another business out then we will and if they can do the same for us then fantastic.

We can’t wait to get on and take the business forward.” n For more details on Hardies visit: www.facebook.com/hardiesscarborough or ring 01723 360433.

Chance to find out more about Scarborough’s University Technical College lOCAlS are being invited to find out more about Scarborough’s future University Technical College (UTC), as the project enters an official consultation period.

The college, which is set to open in September 2016, began a six-week consultation phase on Monday 12 January, following the Government’s decision to back the project last August. The consultation period will include an open day at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, on Tuesday 10th February, from 2pm to 8pm. Open to the public; parents, students, representatives and business partners will be updated and visitors will be able to hear details of the UTC, discuss plans for the future and answer any questions.

The college will be the first of its kind in the district, and will offer an exciting education route for 14-18 year olds seeking a pathway to employment and further education in STeM* subjects.

Offering a mixture of academic and practical courses, the curriculum will be designed with input from local

employers, including McCain, Unison ltd, GCHQ, York Potash, Plaxton (ADl) and Dale Power, alongside an education partner, the University of Hull.

Scarborough UTC board member and HR Director of McCain Foods, Richard Smelt, said: “This consultation period is a great opportunity for the community to find out more about the UTC. “McCain has been a key part of the college’s formation.

We’ve been working in partnership with a number of committed businesses over the past 12 months, so it’s great to see the project taking shape. We’re close to securing a site and are already in the early stages of recruiting for our Principal Designate.

“We see huge value in helping young people to develop into work-ready, skilled individuals. The UTC will deliver great things for Scarborough youngsters, businesses and our community as a whole.”

Scarborough Borough Council, Yorkshire Coast Homes, Sanctuary Housing, Tyro Training, Twilight Productions, and both Barrowcliff and Northstead Schools.

Gallows Close Centre manager Damian Kelly said: “We are very proud to have achieved so much at this centre and it really is at the heart of the community.

“There are so many people who give their time and effort to help others and it is very much appreciated.

“I want to thank everyone involved for their fantastic support. Well done to everyone who won an award and to all that make this such a special community project.”

HOROSCOPES February 2015

BY JAMES CHRISTIE n For details of private readings phone 07884 107100 or 01423 339770 email: jcp@magepublishing.co.uk

Starsign of the month...

Here are a few famous faces you share your sign with

Aquarius

Starsign of the month • Starsign of the month

February is always a tough month for Taureans and although there is much to be thankful for, you’ll nevertheless feel that your glass is half empty rather than half full. This may prove a little wearisome to lovers and partners, who for their own sakes, will be encouraging you to actually DO something to change your situation.

gEMINI (22nd May - 21st June) Your world seems to be expanding in February, and especially so if you’re between 18 and 24 taking the first serious steps along a career pathway. Travel aspects and contacts with people and places overseas seems highly likely and there could be some lovely romantic energies falling into place during the last ten days of the month.

CANCER (22nd June - 23rd July)

(21st January - 18th February) External circumstances put pressure on emotional relationships, so to ease the mood, those “external pressures” need to be identified and dealt with. Some of this might have to do with children, while other aspects link in with the broader sweep of family loyalties and commitments. Do not lose your sense of humour (and perspective) when dealing with these issues.

TAURUS (20th April - 21st May)

If you are looking for major changes in your life, then I think you will be successful, even if things do not fall into place all at once. In the face of delays and postponements, be patient and philosophical, and let things run at their own speed rather than trying to force things along.

Clockwise from top left: Buzz Aldrin, Charles Dickens, Ellen Degeneres, Jessica Ennis-Hill

PISCES

ARIES

(19th Feb - 19th March)

(20th March-19th April)

A bright and breezy February for most Piscesians, especially younger male members of the sign who know what they want! It’s a favourable time for the self employed and anyone who can show a bit of initiative, and despite the bloody awful weather, anyone who works on the land or who takes a living from it, can expect to have a very good month.

An optimistic month for most Arians as you get to grips with new job routines and find yourself looking forward into your mid-term future with a much greater degree of confidence. Lots of support from partners, and a noticeable boost to your love life around the 14th. This could be in response to chocolates and flowers, or promises and commitments.

LEO (24th July - 23rd August) Some travel aspects being thought about, tickets booked, passports dusted off. You’re not necessarily going anywhere just yet, but there is a travel energy in the wind. Not all of your plans and ideas will go down well with others at this time. This is frustrating, but try to be persuasive rather than confrontational.

VIRgO (24th Aug - 23rd Sep) There is good business opportunity being presented to you in February which initially you might decline – but with deeper thought and some investigation you may come to realise

that it’s a very good idea. Either way, this is a busy month on the work scene and you’ll be enthusiastic about what you’re doing.

LIBRA (24th Sep- 22nd Oct) Some important financial decisions are being made this month which will not be popular with everybody. I think it would be sensible to avoid crazy risks and wild gambles, but on the other hand, you mustn’t let other people tell you what to do with what is your money. You’ve worked hard to get it and you have the right to spend it as you see fit.

SCORPIO(23rd Oct - 22nd Nov) If February seems to be a low key month, take heart. It’s the shortest month of the year and there are better and brighter times around the corner. You should be on the receiving end of romantic invitations and overtures, but this will not cheer you up much if they’re not coming from the person you want them to come from.

SAgITTARIUS (23rd November - 22nd December) This promises to be a very good month for those looking for more quality time. On the other hand, it might be a very tense month for Sagittarian parents who have fallen into the habit of living their lives for their children. Kids are growing up and moving on, and this will present you with challenges.

CAPRICORN (23rd December - 20th January) A tense few days at the beginning of the month on the work scene, but this should be sorted out long before the 7th or 8th. A romantic opportunity on the 14th – which is unusual because Capricorns don’t usually celebrate Valentine’s Day. Perhaps some legal dealing in the wind in connection with some kind of claim for compensation.

First novel on Scarborough murder

36 - Scarborough Review, February - Issue 18

One of the three main characters is a gay black detective. “So here we have this police officer, battling to solve the murder and at the same time facing up to the baggage that comes with belonging to not one, but two minority groups,” Kate adds.

“The novel also features many characters who for one reason or another are living on the edge and I felt that Scarborough lent itself to that.”

Kate Evans with her novel. (To order this photo, please ring 353597)

Words and photo by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH author had an extra reason to celebrate Christmas following the publication of her first novel.

Kate evans had been writing The Art of the Imperfect - a crime novel - on and off for the best part of a decade.

It is the first of a trilogy of fiction books, all set in Scarborough, and has as its plot the investigation of a brutal murder.

“I live in and love Scarborough, so it was the obvious place for me to set the novel,” says Kate.

“I hope my love of Scarborough comes through. I’ve tried to respect the character of the town and not tried to create either a picture of a crime-ridden, crumbling resort or a holiday brochure.

“Apart from one or two little things to help with the narrative, I haven’t altered anything in Scarborough to fit the novel so people will recognise a lot, particularly around the South Cliff area and the Spa.” Kate uses the town’s location at the edge of the country to symbolise one of the key themes that runs through the novel: marginalisation.

Topics and themes for the novel have been drawn to some extent from Kate’s experiences. She spent two years living in a deprived area of Washington DC, working and volunteering on projects with poor black communities. Here she saw marginalisation from both sides, working with a black community on the edge of mainstream America, but also as she was one of very few white people in a predominantly black neighbourhood.

In the late 1990s she worked on projects in Marseille with marginalised Bosnian, Algerian, Gypsy and Senegalise communities, but again felt marginalised due to an inability to speak the language fluently enough to properly fit in.

Psychotherapy is another key aspect of the book, which explores the challenges and vulnerabilities of being a therapist and the dangers of over-stepping the therapist’s boundaries.

It looks at how the stigma attached to mental illness and depression can leave

people exposed and marginalised. Kate has had her own issues with mental illness and depression and is now a trained psychotherapeutic counsellor.

The novel touches on prejudice, marginalisation, psychotherapy, mental illness and depression but is ultimately a celebration of what makes each of us unique.

Kate says a long-standing love of crime novels and the ease with which the genre makes the exploration of issues accessible, drew her to choose the format.

“A crime novel is really a quest; there’s a problem to be solved and people (characters and readers) set off to find what the answer is,” she says. “At the end of it I am interested in human relationships, in why people become marginalised and, here, what pushes ordinary people to do extraordinary things.”

Kate has had many non-fiction and academic articles, short stories and poems published and her non-fiction book, Pathways Through Writing Blocks in the Academic environment, was published by Sense Publishers in 2013.

The Art of the Imperfect is published by Avenue Press Scarborough and is available via amazon.co.uk (http://goo.gl/1m1ioq). n Kate’s website and blog are at www.writingourselveswell.co.uk

A bright spring season at the Stephen Joseph Theatre Words by Krystal Starkey

TO celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2015 the Stephen Joseph Theatre will be holding a range of special events as well as displays of familiar faces.

In January, work commenced on a new build within the existing theatre walls which will see the creation of a new studio space for the OutReach department as well as prop and storage facilities, to be unveiled on May 3.

ReachOut Festival returns from February 7 to 28, celebrating the work of young and old members of the community through performances, workshops and mini-festivals.

Following this, the Stephen Joseph Theatre welcomes a variety of visiting shows for a bright spring season in the McCarthy auditorium. Based on the true story of the 1972 Builders’ Strike, Townsend Productions’ United We Stand tells the story behind the dispute with popular and political songs, arranged by folk musician John Kirkpatrick, on March 10.

BBC 2013 Slam Champion Sophia Walker takes audiences Around The World in eight Mistakes on March 14 followed by a spoken word performance.

Mary Jo Randle – star of TV series’ The Bill and Cutting It – plays Barbara in Big Pants & Botox by louise Roche.

Surreal black comedy Mugs Arrows plays on

the March 26 and 27. This play by eddie elks, set in a Derbyshire pub, explores the depths of the human psyche, love, loss, friendship... and darts, leading to disturbing results.

On easter weekend, families will enjoy Yeh Shen, an enchanting tale of a young orphaned girl, a magical fish, a nasty stepmother and sister, and a lost shoe, on April 3. The story first appeared in 9th century China, more than 1,000 years before the first european Cinderella.

From April 4 to 7, the theatre stages Satin ‘n’ Steel – a moving, feel good piece of theatre from Amanda Whittington. When karaoke singer Teena White meets veteran pro, Vince Steel, they form club duo Satin ‘n’ Steel and a deep love soon forms but a guilty secret threatens to smash their showbiz bubble.

The Round re-opens for Northern Broadsides who present Shakespeare’s King lear from April 21 to 25. Barrie Rutter plays lear, an ageing and deeply flawed individual who wrecks his relationship with his three daughters and in doing so, loses all he has. Director Jonathan Miller brings his remarkable talent for detailed human observation to the play. n Tickets for all shows are on sale from January 5 and are available from the Box Office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com

Great day for South Cliff

not match them but managed to chalk up scores of 67, 67, 69 & 69 for a total of 272 to limit the damage and still leave them 17 & 18 shots clear in the standings from Filey & South Cliff. After this result the run in to the finish now looks very interesting with the next fixture at Whitby followed by visits to South Cliff and Filey both of whom will be looking to maximise home advantage and put pressure on the leaders.

North Cliff Ganstead Park Ladies stars shine Shine at Flamborough

NORTH ClIFF members got back into competitive mode after the festive season with a couple of competitions organised by Club Professional Fraser Kelley. First up was a four ball better ball stableford and certainly the weather obliged by blowing away the cobwebs and providing a reason to move along quickly. leading the way were Simon Boddy (1) & Adrian Young (6) who put together an excellent total of 46 points to claim top spot. Tony Chapman (14) & Paul McGarry (13) played very well for 44 points to take second place just one point ahead of Paul Broadbent (7) & Chris Wharton (15) in third. The second competition was a three man team yellow peril Stableford off full handicap, the scores reflected both the benign weather and format. Trevor Marshall (26), Shaun lofthouse (26) & Gary Buck (28) took full advantage using their shots well to make an impressive total of 101 points to leave everyone else trailing behind.

ReSUMING after the mid-winter break the east Yorkshire ladies Winter Golf Alliance was greeted with blue sky and a well prepared course on the headland at Flamborough for Round four of their Trophy Competition.

The day proved to be a real bonus for the Ganstead Park pairing of Sallie Nielsen (14) and Karen Batty (14) whose sixteen hole foursome medal score of 62.5, (the only sub par score of the day) gave them a two and a half shot winning margin over the home club’s Hilary Jewitt (16) and Sue Rivis (22). It was an inauspicious start for Nielsen and Batty who opened with a double bogey six on the first hole but thereafter eight pars and a birdie on the par four sixteenth certainly got matters back on track and smartened up their scorecard. Speaking after their convincing win Sally Nielsen said, “It really was an ideal winter day for golf. This was the first time I had played at Flamborough although Karen had played there previously. After a sticky start on the first we really played well thereafter and we were both really surprised at the margin of our victory”.

In the Trophy Competition after four rounds Hull still head the standings although their lead has been trimmed by second place Malton & Norton to just four shots with Ganton handily placed in third 6.5 shots off the pace.

Leading Foursome Medal Scores:- 62.5 S.Nielsen (14) & K.Batty (14) Ganstead Park, 65 H.Jewitt (16) & S.Rivis (22) Flamborough Head, 68.5 J.Butler (5) & C.Simpson (5) Malton & Norton, J.lawn (19) & A.Johnson (20) Fulford, A.Hill (17) & l.Rushworth (16) Driffield, D.Kingswood (9) & J.Cormack (21), 69 J.Brown (5) & l.Hague (6) Ganton.

Treble awards success for Scarborough athlete

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH AC’s Philip Markham scooped three awards at the club’s annual presentation ceremony which was held at Scarborough Cricket Club.

Both runners and enthusiasts attended the packed venue to pay recognition to Scarborough and North Yorkshire’s junior

and senior athletes on both road, track and field over 2014.

Markham took the overall men’s road title together with most improved runner and the V40 road race champion .

Philip commented: “I was really surprised and honoured to win three awards, especially the coveted overall title. “last year went better than I could ever have hoped for, gaining 10 personal best

times from 10K to marathon distance, but this recognition will spur me on to do even better this year.”

So far, 2015 hasn’t been too kind for Markham who has struggled with injuries over the winter. Despite having to pull out of the 25 mile Scarborough Rock off-road race earlier this month, he will still be hoping to line up for the up and coming Newcastle marathon.

Boro re-union set to be a big hit Jamie Stewart in action

Alex Metcalfe battles for the ball against Warrington

by Will Baines

JANUARY was a mixed month for Scarborough Athletic, with two wins and two defeats so far in 2015. Boro currently sit 7th in the league, as they look to stay in touch with the leaders going into February.

After the 3-0 Boxing Day defeat to Darlington 1883 and a frozen pitch at Clitheroe, joint-managers Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot took on Brighouse at Queensgate on New Year’s Day keen for their side to get back on track.

A quick start for the home side saw Alex Peterson denied a goal in the early stages by the offside flag, but in the 22nd minute Gary Bradshaw curled a magnificent free-kick into the top corner to give Boro the lead.

A second goal quickly followed as Peterson capitalised on a mix up in the Brighouse defence to crack the ball in off the post in what proved to be his final game for the club as his loan spell from Doncaster Rovers came to an end.

Boro missed a string of chances before Jimmy Ghaichem cracked in his first goal of the season from outside the box, as Jimmy Beadle lashed in a fourth with a fierce volley.

There was still time for Joe Cracknell to deny Ryan Hall a late consolation with a fine penalty save, as the Seadogs started the new year in style.

The winning run continued 48 hours later as Jimmy Beadle grabbed the only goal as Boro saw off Spennymoor.

The Boro side included local youngster Jamie Stewart at right-back, with fellow U19s Josh Venner and Tommy Wilson on the bench. Kallum Griffiths nearly gave the visitors an early lead, but a fine fingertip save from Cracknell kept the scores level.

The breakthrough came on 32 minutes after patient build up play down the right saw a measured ball into the box from Boro winger Jimmy Ghaichem. Beadle chested the ball into the path of strike partner Gary Bradshaw, who knocked the ball back for Beadle to turn and hammer in on the volley.

Boro worked hard to preserve their lead, with jointmanager Hughes coming close to doubling his side’s advantage but his effort was blocked. Dean lisles and Ben Middleton shone in the centre of the Boro defence, with Stewart growing in confidence as the game went on to secure the win.

If any Boro fans were getting ahead of themselves and dreaming of a promotion charge, they were brought crashing down to earth with two consecutive defeats. First the Seadogs travelled to Ossett Albion and despite taking the lead through a spectacular long range volley from Beadle, his 15th of the season, the Boro defence fell apart as they failed to clear their lines and were punished to trail 2-1 at the break. A third goal from Albion player/chairman Dominic Riordan killed off Boro’s chances and despite a late rally, they fell to their first defeat of the year.

A second successive defeat followed against Warrington Town, as Boro were undone by the FA Cup giant killers.

Yellows striker Ben Wharton was given too much space to turn and curl a superb shot into the top corner. Shortly afterwards Chris Gaghan exploited some poor marking to calmly slot in to make it 2-0 and leaving Boro on the ropes.

But the home side rallied and got a goal back when Ryan Blott lifted over the on-rushing Warrington keeper just before half-time.

On 48 minutes a weak back-header from Dean lisles failed to find keeper Cracknell, allowing Scott Matcalfe to sneak in on goal and despite a good initial save, the ball fell kindly to Gahgan who made no mistake to restore the twogoal cushion for Warrington.

The Boro catalogue of errors continued as Cracknell failed to connect with a clearance upfield as the ball bobbled over his foot, giving Nathan Burke a free run on goal to make it 4-1. A Gary Bradshaw penalty reduced the deficit, but Boro were second best and well beaten by a hard working Warrington side.

The game against Farsley last weekend was postponed due to a frozen pitch at Throstle Nest, giving jointmanagers Paul Foot and Bryan Hughes time to strengthen the squad ahead of a busy February. New signings Alex Metcalfe (midfielder), Tom Corner (striker) and Daniel Wilkinson (defender) will all be called on over the next few months to keep Boro in the race for the play-offs.

Scarborough Athletic Reserves under Steve Brennan too, and we gained promotion. I have been injured recently, which is disappointing, but I can guarantee I will be back out there doing my best to keep finding the back of the net because that is what I love to do.”

Gareth burst onto the senior scene with eastfield Reserves under the management of Dave Welburn and he was soon among the goals.

Gareth said: “That edgehill Reserves side was fantastic and we won the second division three years in a row and also the Junior Cup where I scored twice in the final. I remember wanting to get into the first team but at the time they had Jamie Burt and Ricky Greening so I could not get in. It was then I decided to move to Filey Town and it was ironic that shortly after I scored a hat-trick against edgehill’s first team.”

Name: Gareth Sygrove Sport: Football Position: Striker

IF you are looking for a player to score you goals in the local football leagues then there is no man better than striker Gareth Sygrove.

Sygrove, 31, who currently plays for Seamer Reserves in the Scarborough News District Saturday league, has been banging in the goals since he burst onto the scene in the minor leagues over 15 years ago.

It all started at school for the centre forward who can list edgehill, eastfield, Filey and West Pier amongst some of the clubs that he has helped land trophies.

Gareth said: “I remember my first game of football like it was yesterday as it was playing for Hinderwell School right next to the McCain Stadium. In that same Hinderwell team were the likes of Wayne Aziz, Dean lill, Keith Skelton and lee Major.

“We all went on to play senior football for edgehill together and have remained friends ever since.”

Gareth’s first taste of action in the Minor league was with eastfield where he won three league titles in a row and also was crowned player of the season at under-12s level.

FAN SPOTLiGHT

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

GARY Joce has been a huge darts fan for a long time and has witnessed many of the games greats.

And although he likes to take to the oche himself, he much prefers to sit back and watch the professionals produce their magic.

He said: “I grew up watching the BDO world championships at lakeside and will always remember wanting Bobby George to win. But then came along a certain Raymond van Barneveld or

The spell at eastfield was followed by a switch to edgehill Reserves in a side which featured players such as Gary Hepples, Dean lill, Baz Gill, Steve Provins and Tubby Ingle.

Filey proved to be another success story for Gareth under manager Dave Brannan before he made the switch to West Pier three years ago. There he won the first division title and North Riding Cup before moving onto current club Seamer Reserves where he has already hit double figures this campaign.

But it is not just in the Saturday league where he has been a scoring sensation, hitting the heights of the goal getters for sides such as Trafalgar, Strongwood, Star and Filey Flyers.

He added: “The Strongwood side we had with Bryn Kneeshaw in 2007 was brilliant and we cleaned up winning the lot. I also got the chance to play with the likes of former Boro players Denny Ingram and Marcus Jones which was a great experience.”

Gareth has suffered with recent injury problems but he insists his goalscoring days are not over.

Gareth said: “I love playing football and it is a massive part of my life. I have had some great influences on me such as Steve Coulson, Andrew Spivey, Dave Brannan and Sean Chapman, and I am glad I took up football from such a young age. I got to captain

Gary has a keen eye for spotting the diamonds of darts Barney as we all prefer to call him.

“Barney was almost unbeatable at the lakeside. Sticking with the BDO for a moment, eventually a certain Gary Anderson came along scoring 180s and 140s for fun, but he couldn’t finish the doubles (trebles for show, doubles for dough as Bobby George says).

“Mr Anderson failed to make his mark on the lakeside stage and got a reputation for losing his bottle. I always felt if he could finish properly then not even Phil the Power Taylor could live with his scoring.

“I do like Phil Taylor and what he has achieved is immense and wouldn’t have begrudged him a 17th title, it would have been epic. However, as I say I always felt Gary Anderson would one day do it.

I remember Ady lewis’ 9 darter against

him in the PDC final three years ago, which lewis won. “So, watching this year’s PDC final was awesome and the best moment was when he won the 9th set to go 5-4 up having had his three darts (a maximum too) drop out of the board.

“When Phil Taylor popped in a 180 on his way to a 2-0 lead I thought that was it, Taylor had him. Anderson nearly blew it again by suggesting it was all over walking off the stage at 6-4, especially when Taylor got back to 6-6. The Flying Scotsman showed that he does have bottle after all and made little trouble of the deciding set. Gary Anderson world champion!

Gary has produced some decent arrows himself and added: “I have my own board at home and have managed eight 180s.

New PDC World Champion Gary Anderson “I did once get a 180 playing my mate Dave Thorpe, who left me on 51, which I finished in the next three darts. Without a doubt my best finishing three darts.

“Some of my other highlights watching the sport are James Wade and Robert Thornton each getting 9 darters in the same match against each other at the World Grand Prix (Double in Double out format), also Ted Hankey’s 170 checkout to win his first ever BDO title at the lakeside.

development for years to come.

Coach Tony Walker said: “Most of the members of the team either live on the estate or have at some point lived on the estate. We have had a great start to our first season and if we can kick on and continue to improve these players are quite capable of gaining one of the promotion spots at the end of the season.

SCARBOROUGH Sports Barrowcliff were born in 2004 from a collaboration between Scarborough Sports Juniors and the residents of Barrowcliff, with a view to long-term sport development on the estate.

The collaboration included the creation of an open age senior team to compliment the junior sides already created with the view of developing teams from the age seven up to the senior side to give continuation of football

kit sponsors, and the owner Mick Ingle is also the team manager.

“We have just received a great sponsorship from Yorkshire Coast Homes for team tracksuits, so a very big thank you to them, they make us look very professional.”

The team play on Gallows Close which up to last season had not been used for over ten years for sport, Scarborough Sports along with the help of Groundwork and the residents association and the council started to work to get the pitches up and running.

“These lads are all friends and have a great communal spirit which has been a big plus for the team so far.

“We have a great relationship with the local businesses, especially Caddies convenience store who are the teams

“With the support we have had we aim to be one of the biggest grass-root sports clubs in the area.”

Kevin Allen, Yorkshire Coast Homes Media and Community liaison Officer, said:“Yorkshire Coast Homes is very pleased to provide this support for Barrowcliff FC, as part of our ongoing commitment to helping people across our communities participate in sporting activities”.

SUNSeT Tomiki Aikido is rising to the top in local martial arts.

Set up almost 20 years ago, the group has had a few homes around the Scarborough area but founder and 4th Dan instructor Alan Cooper is now pleased to have settled at the Falsgrave Community Resource Centre on Seamer Road.

He said: “It is a nice venue with plenty of space and lots of parking room.

We have been at Sunset Gym, which is where the name came from, and Pindar School, but we are glad to have ended up here and are making the most of it.”

Alex Wright (left) and Rhys Nichols demonstrate some techniques

Sometimes referred to

as Sport Aikido, Tomiki style differs from the other schools of Aikido by having competitive elements as a method to test one’s ability and the effectiveness of techniques.

Alan explained: “It is not compulsory to take part in competition, as it represents only a part of overall training.

“Tomiki Aikido is suitable and effective for both men and women of all levels of fitness and ages.

Aikido is fun and helps keep you fit as well as providing you with an excellent self defence system which gives you peace of mind.”

The club trains every Wednesday evening at the Falsgrave Community Resource Centre with juniors up first (ages seven to 16) between 7-8pm, followed by adults (16 years upwards) between 8-9.30pm. n The first lesson is free but there is a charge after (ring Alan on 01723 583641) for further details.

THAI Boxing World Champion Rachael MacKenzie caused a stir when she landed at George Pindar School.

Rachael spent the day at the eastfield school when she came to work with the girls in years 9 and 10 who are taking GCSe Pe. Throughout the day there was practical work as well as motivational speaking.

In Rachael’s talk, she told students of the many knock backs she had as she strived to achieve her goals and how she spent a year doing press ups to build her strength before the men at the training gym would take her seriously and allow her to train with them.

The determination and resilience that she showed was inspirational and her message was ‘never give up on your dreams.’ As well as being inspiring, Rachael was also very entertaining and the girls thoroughly enjoyed her talk.

The winner of the competition receives £450 in prize money with the runner-up set to collect £200.

Dion said: “I am excited about the game and it should be a cracker. The response to the competition has been excellent and I would like to thank everyone who has taken part and supported it.”

Pier, who won the prestigious competition two season’s ago, have beaten Dalton Athletic, Whitby Fishermen and lealholm to reach the last eight, while Newlands Park had a bye in round one, and then saw off lingdale United and Richmond Mavericks to reach this stage.

West Pier are also challenging on three other fronts, having won their first 10 league games to go top of the District league first division, their most recent win being a 7-0 defeat of Ryedale Sports, and they are also still involved in the league Cup and District Cup. Newlands and West Pier also clash at Flixton in the league Cup quarter-finals on February 21, with Westover entertaining Filey Town in the other remaining quarterfinal. In the last eight of the District Cup, goals from Tom Barker, Martin Cooper and Will Jenkinson earned Pier a 4-1 win against Tennyson. In other District Cup quarter- finals a Ricky Greening strike earned edgehill a 1-0 win against Kirkbymoorside, and Sean exley scored twice as Newlands Park won 2-1 at Seamer Sports.

The first division title race looks set to be contested by three teams, with Filey Town and edgehill chasing Pier at the top. Danny Collins struck a hat trick as edgehill won 5-2 at Ayton, while Filey came from two goals down to beat Westover Wasps 6-2. Reigning champions Newlands thrashed Sleights 9-0 (four goals for Danny Jenkinson), but a 2-1 loss to Filey in their next game was a massive blow to their hopes of retaining the title, with Ricky Tomlinson and James Pinder netting for Filey. Seamer Sports picked up a couple of good

Whitby Rugby Club have taken over from Filey Town Res at the top of the second division after beating Newlands Res 3-1, Scalby 3-1 and FC Rosette 9-1 (four goals for Phil Spencer), while Filey Res dropped their first points after drawing 5-5 with Cayton Corinthians, but they then beat Duchess 2-1 with Dave Wedge scoring both goals. Seamer Sports Reserves continue to lead the third division, with 11 wins and a draw from their first 12 matches.

Falsgrave Athletic are their nearest challengers after Zac Hansen hit a hat trick in a 6-2 win against Comercial, and third placed eastway Sports beat Sherburn 3-2 with goals from eric Hall and Craig Moss to boost their promotion hopes.

Traf Reserves came from 1-3 down to beat Cayton 7-4 (hat trick for Mikey Barker), and Sean Naylor scored twice as Scarborough Sports netted a crucial 4-2 win over West Riding.
