Villagers from Staintondale show their support to save their post office
Words & picture by pete spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk RESIDENTS of Staintondale are hoping to deliver a clear message as they aim to save their local post office. The village has had a post office since the 1930’s but it is now being threatened with closure, and the villagers are not pleased. They have put a petition together to lobby the powers that be into keeping the post office and re-locating it to its original site.
Husband and wife duo Griselda and Frank James have run the post office for the past 30 years and they are determined that it will not disappear. Griselda said: “It is of huge importance that we fight to keep our post office which is an integral part of the community. “It seems that everything is being taking away nowadays due to commercial decisions without considering the effects on those who use the facilities and what it means
to the community. “The proposal is to have somebody run a service a couple of hours a week from the village hall or somebody’s home, but that is not acceptable. We even have a lady ready to step in, Nina Darrington, and a premises to do it from. “My husband runs the Ravenscar part of the service and it is also proposed that they combine the service. We will all be devastated if this happens.” Continued on page 4.

FILEY Ladies Monday Club celebrated their 50 year anniversary with a hugely successful reunion lunch. The event was held in the Concert Hall at the Evron Centre in Filey and over 90 attended. The group's chairlady Brenda Sweeney said: “It was a wonderful occasion and we enjoyed it very much. “We sent letters out in October last year and January this year to try and let both current and former members know what we were doing and the response was superb. “The Mayor of Filey Jon Shackleton presented us with a Long Service Award on behalf of Filey Town Council which was a lovely gesture. “I would like to thank everyone who got involved on the day and to Tracy Flynn of Tesco for helping out too. “”Hopefully there are many more years to come for this wonderful group.”
Enjoying the reunion Filey Ladies Monday club started on 7 Feb 1966 by eight local ladies who wanted somewhere to go to meet other young wives ( it was called young wives then) and there was nothing in Filey. So these eight ladies formed the group. Membership quickly rose over the next few meetings and it has been thriving ever since. There are currently 60 members and two of the original ladies are still active members, one of them is President, Margaret Hunter and the other lady is Hilary Johnson. The club meets every two weeks on a Monday evening and usually have a guest speaker and then tea and cakes and a chit chat. For more details on the group contact Brenda on 01723 518280. n If you would like to order prints of these or any other pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review then please email: pete@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 07815290457.

SCARBOROUGH UTC is a new industryorientated school opening in September for 14-18 year olds that will deliver GCSE’s and A Levels and will combine both academic and vocational learning. The strength of Scarborough UTC is its close working relationship with employer partners and The University of Hull. Scarborough UTC will lay the foundations in engineering design, manufacturing, computer science, electronics and control systems helping to tackle the current skills gap. The school will also guide toward a clear onward learning or employment path through further education, University or the workplace. Furthermore, encouraging more females to enter into STEM careers is a primary objective of Scarborough UTC. By exposing our most ambitious young people to the full scale of engineering disciplines and opportunities, Scarborough UTC will provide a unique learning experience and strongly reflect the commitment of the employers to ensure the best educational offering in North Yorkshire.

The North East is the fastest growing region in the UK, with an estimated 28% employment growth in recent years. Locally 15,000 people in over 250 companies are employed in engineering and manufacturing. In addition, by 2020 there will be an anticipated additional 2,000 jobs in the Scarborough area alone. Scarborough UTC aims to provide the next generation of work-ready technicians and engineers to satisfy market demand. The region faces a real skills deficit with companies experiencing double digit growth. Therefore, employment opportunity is set to significantly increase. For example, York Potash’s new mine will generate around £1 billion annually and a further 1,000 jobs. Local businesses will ensure our place in the future of engineering in the UK. The Yorkshire Coast Business Gateway is aiming to create 50 new businesses and support 170 existing companies, offering opportunities for which UTC graduates will be able to compete confidently.

The original post office STAINTONDALE resident Trisha Barron has been heavily involved with the campaign to save the village post office. She said: “We have fought to save our village church and now we must do the same for the post office. We lost our village pub and chapel previously and something had to be done before we lost everything. We showed with the efforts put into saving St John's Church that if we all speak up together then things can happen. “I don't want to be part of a generation that lets everything go. We don't want future generations to have a village with nothing in it. We have had great support so far and hopefully this will continue to grow.”

Going to Pot to raise cash for Polio Plus
Planting the Crocus Corns last year
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A SPECIAL event for green-fingered enthusiasts is being held at Scarborough Rugby Club on Thursday March 24. Going to Pot is a gardeners question and answer session featuring local experts Ron Womack, Sheila Johnson and Roger Burnett and is raising money for Polio Plus. Organiser Ray Springall, who is the International & Foundation Committee chair of Rotary Club of Scarborough, said: “At the junction of Victoria Park and Victoria Park Avenue with Columbus Ravine opposite Peasholm Drive, there is a large banked triangle of grass surrounding a sponsored flower bed. “We were offered this grassed area, which is kept well manicured, for our Crocus
planting which will be in good view of all users of the busy Columbus Ravine roadway. “We have also placed a large information board explaining the Crocus field and Rotary’s roll in helping to eradicate Polio from the world. This is being done by all Rotary Clubs all over the Globe. “The St Peter’s Junior School gardening group, Friends of Peasholm Park, the Scarborough Borough Parks and Leisure department, Scarborough Rotary club members all gathered on the designated planting day of October 23 and planted 10,000 Crocus Corms in the shape of a very large tear drop, now in mid-February the growing tips are beginning to show through the grass – quite exciting and hopefully they will all be deep purple Crocus’s – just like the inoculated children's little finger ends. “We must be grateful to our anonymous Crocus Corm donor and also to Councillor and Scarborough Rotary Club member Simon Green together with David Firth, for their help in facilitating this endeavour.” The event at the rugby club features a buffet and teas and coffees plus the bar will be open. It gets under way at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £10 and are available by calling Ray on 07801144423 or by email: ray@mcraypress.co.uk

The foundation stone of the new lifeboat station has been laid. The stone, bearing the inscription 2016, will form part of the front wall on Foreshore Road, next to the main boathouse doors. Overseen by Scarborough RNLI chair Colin Woodhead, the ceremony was attended by local volunteers and representatives from the RNLI’s HQ in Poole and officials from the build’s main contractor, Bam Nuttall. The stone was laid by Oscar Hartley, 15, on behalf of his father Simon, who bid for the opportunity to dress and lay the yearstone in the Yorkshire Post’s Christmas 2014 appeal, which raised £17,000 for Scarborough RNLI. The appeal helped the charity reach the £200,000 target it needed to part-fund a launch-and-recovery vehicle for its new Shannon class lifeboat, due on station later this year. Simon Hartley was unable to attend as he is a member of the RAF Reserve and is on
The foundation stone team a four-month tour. His parents joined their grandson. Simon’s father, Peter Hartley CBE, said: “We were very proud to attend the ceremony on Simon’s behalf and it was a great honour for his son to take his place and represent him. “As a family, we’ve always been passionate supporters of the RNLI. The Gay and Peter Hartley’s Hillards Charitable Trust, which we set up, has had the privilege to provide funds to purchase three inshore lifeboats for Scarborough, one of which, John Wesley Hillard III, is still in service today. “The RNLI is a marvellous charity manned by volunteers who risk their lives to save others, often in hazardous conditions. Scarborough lifeboat station is an integral part of the community and we were delighted to lay the historic stone, one of the first steps in heralding a new era of lifesaving within the town.” Mr Woodhead said: “It was a truly special occasion and it seemed fitting that Oscar Hartley placed the date stone in the wall. The Hartley family has shown amazing support for Scarborough RNLI over the years and their generosity in bidding to place the stone is simply a continuation of this longstanding relationship. “Thanks must also go the Yorkshire Post, who selected our charity to benefit so generously from their 2014 Christmas appeal and to everyone who gave such phenomenal support; this enabled us to reach the £200,000 needed to provide the final funding for our launch-and-recovery vehicle for the new Shannon class lifeboat.”
A SPECIAL reunion is being organised to recognise the ten year anniversary since the closure of the old Corner Cafe complex in Scarborough's North Bay. The event is being organised by the likes of former Corner manager Margaret Jackson and will take place at Bar2B on Harcourt Place in Scarborough on Tuesday April 19. Margaret said: “Some of the former staff still meet up for breakfast now and then and we decided it would be fitting to hold a reunion after ten years of the Corner closing down. “We had so many wonderful times down there with staff, customers and anyone else who got involved. I worked there from 1985 until it closed in 2006 and that
The old Corner Cafe complex
was a very sad day. “We want to invite anyone who had some connection with the corner to come along and enjoy the evening. I am sure there will be many memories shared and stories told.” If you would like to attend the reunion then just go along to Bar2B from 7pm. All are welcome.

KEEP Filey Tidy is cleaning up in a big way. The group began as a grain of an idea during the middle of 2015. The vision was to fill in the gaps left by SBC and litter pick in the middle of town. Tracy Flynn, Filey Tesco Community Champion said: “The first few meetings attracted very few potential volunteers, but nevertheless two or three of us would take to the streets and pick litter, as yet without proper litter picks, gloves and bin liners. Slowly, slowly interest increased and we now have nine litter pickers and have the support of many businesses in Filey. “Thanks to Tesco, who have provided us with bin liners, latex gloves, litter picks, handihoops and dog mess bags.” Keep Filey Tidy is now working under the
auspices of the Filey & District Tourism Association (also a voluntary organisation), who have sponsored our the high-viz jackets. Recently the group have had the blessing of SBC who are supplying them with unlimited binliners. Tracy added: “Each of our pickers is issued with everything they need for a safe and efficient pick. There are no set times for pickers to go out; each one chooses the time best for them, posts their intentions on our Facebook page and reports back with what they have picked up and where. “We use the Facebook page as "the office" with all members posting details/comments, so that we all know what is going on. We also pass details of broken glass in the area, and evidence of anti-social behaviour, to the relevant authorities. n If anyone is interested in joining us please ring Keep Filey Tidy on 07931 978 609.”

CYCLING enthusiasts can enjoy the second annual Tour de Yorkshire in style this year, thanks to Wigwam® Holidays! The national glamping cabin company has just celebrated 21 years of success with over 70 across the UK, with three sites located in North and West Yorkshire. The Yorkshire sites – Clarion Lodges near Ilkley, Grouse Hill near Whitby and Humble Bee Farm near Scarborough – are all located within a few miles of the threestage race that takes place on 29, 30 April and 1 May. The Tour passes close to Clarion Lodges during Stage One (Beverley to Settle) and
Stage Two (Otley to Doncaster). Stage Three, which features the longest stretch of 198 km between Middlesbrough and Scarborough, passes close to Grouse Hill and Humble Bee Farm Wigwams. The Wigwam cabins are the brainchild of Wigwam Holidays Director Charles Gulland. Charles said: “Wigwam cabins tick many boxes. We use sustainable, local timber at our two Scottish-based workshops; they are warm, secure and offer comfortable, affordable glamping accommodation all year round.” n Visit: www.wigwamholidays.com and www.letour.yorkshire.com for more information.
a former student at YCC is mentoring Jack; so there is hope Jack can make the national final in April at Lincoln College.

Admission will cost £6.50, including hot drinks and biscuits, says fundraising group leader Dorothy Rushworth.
A special message for a special lady THE Friends of St John The Baptist Church Staintondale would like to express our sadness at the passing of our secretary and record keeper Ann Murray in January. Ann was loyal, dedicated and had boundless energy. Ann loved flowers and spent many happy times with the friends developing the church and planting lots of wonderful things for everyone to enjoy. She will be sorely missed. Ann Murray who passed Editor's comment: I met Ann away in January for the first time last year when she contacted me regarding the work the friends group were doing to try and save their village church. I found her character to be so infectious and her spirit for life extremely high. I met her a couple of times and spoke to her on the telephone several times. She was an inspirational lady and I was sad to learn of her passing. Rest In Peace Ann.

Gareth Gates in Footloose
Dear Editor
, I would like to congratulate The Spa at Bridlington for bringing the Broadway and West End musical Footloose to the East Coast. The show was brilliant entertainment with an extremely talented cast who not only acted, danced and sang but also played a great range of musical instruments to provide all the music for the show. The cast included stars Maureen Nolan, a brilliant lead role from Tom Baker and a great performance from Gareth Gates showing another side to his talents in a comedy acting role and although he professes not to dance was top class. We are very lucky to have The Spa on our doorstep and can see such a variety of events in this refurbished building without having to travel miles to a major city, and hope it will continue to be well supported enabling them to continue entertaining us. Kind regards

WE have had endless reports, all saying the same thing – that a generation of cut backs on social care funding, running Mike into millions of pounds, is Padgham having a devastating effect. It is becoming like the endless diet reports that tell us that eating too much sugar is bad for us. We welcome Lord Carter’s findings and hope that it prompts some action. But we have to question why we have to have so many reports, likely costing many, many hundreds of thousands of pounds, to tell us what we already know. We would prefer to see money being spent on doing something about it.” At the end of last year, figures revealed that the bill to Yorkshire hospitals alone in 2014-15 was some £32m because of 100,000 occasions when someone could have left hospital but was unable to because there was no social care available to look after them. The harsh reality is that we have seen more than £5bn cut from social care budgets in the past five years, with the result that there are now fewer care home places and less care for people in their own home. These delayed transfers of care are inevitable and not only cost a huge amount of money but also deprive someone else in need of that hospital bed. The country has to wake up to the fact that we aren’t looking after our older and vulnerable adults properly. Their quality of later life is suffering and we are seeing these mountainous debts for hospital care growing daily. Every pound spent on social care – on looking after someone in their own home, in a care home or through day care – should be viewed as an investment in their quality of life and in preventing them from having to be cared for in costly hospital beds instead – it is plain common sense and we don’t need any more expensive reports to tell us.

The Commercial crew enjoy their Christmas party Tracy Flynn
Dear Editor,
AS announced in the press last year, all the money raised from selling 5p carrier bags at Tesco will be given to the community. Anyone can apply for it and the local customers will be voting which project gets which prize. The amounts are £12,000 first prize, £10,000 second prize and £8,000 third prize so its well worth applying. Unfortunately some of the last applications were either incomplete or not enough received. If you type in Tesco local community grants it comes up with the Groundworks website who are collecting the applications before they are then short listed by a panel and lastly voted on by customers. You can sign up to their newsletter which will tell you exactly when you can apply, expected to be in April.

V-shaped hotel is town’s grandest hotel Words by Dave Barry
Scarborough’s most magnificent building has to be the Grand Hotel. Built in the shape of an enormous V, in honour of Queen Victoria, it dominates the south bay. Once Europe’s finest hotel, it has been bombarded by the Germans and plagued by virulent viruses which forced its temporary closure. Constructed between 1862 and 1867, it was designed by architect Cuthbert Brodrick, best known not for the Grand Hotel but for the town hall in Leeds, where he lived. Brodrick (1821-1905) also designed the Corn Exchange and what is now the City Museum in Leeds. A few buildings had to be demolished before work could begin, including the building where the Brontë sisters stayed during visits from Haworth. Anne Brontë died there in 1849 and is buried at St Mary’s Church. Brodrick’s original plan for the Grand involved four towers, 12 floors, 52 chimneys and 365 rooms, representing the seasons, months, weeks and days of the year. When the building was completed, the numbers didn’t quite stack up but they weren’t far off. One of the first big purpose-built hotels in the world, it has six storeys facing St Nicholas Cliff and 13 looking out to sea. An iron balcony runs the entire length of one floor, along the two longest sides and the bit at the bottom of the V. “This magnificent example of High Victorian architecture is unclassifiable in style but it is unmistakeably and thoroughly English,” according to Raymond Fieldhouse and John Barrett, in The Streets of Scarborough. Encouraged by the growing popularity of the railways and, consequently, the seaside, the consortium behind the Grand wanted to cash in on the influx of wealthier tourists, or holidaymakers as they were known then, delivered to the town by steam trains. Privately financed, the ornate pile was built with an estimated six million yellow bricks. Some say they were produced at Malton’s Works, where Malvern Crescent is today; others claim they were made in Hunmanby. As Scarborough was a famous spa town, the building's baths originally included an extra pair of taps, so guests could bathe in seawater as well as fresh. A miniature railway track in the basement was used to convey laundry from a chute to the washing area. The hotel boasted what could be called the first hotel lift in the North, a hydraulic conveyor operated with counter-weights, like the cliff lift by the Spa. The hotel’s heyday was the so-called Belle Epoque, from its opening until the outbreak of the First World War, after which its fortunes steadily declined. In 1914, the hotel took several direct hits when the German navy bombarded the town, leading to a recruitment campaign called Remember Scarborough. A century later, Michael Palin and Mark Addy filmed scenes for the BBC drama Remember Me at the Grand. In World War Two, the hotel was requisitioned by the RAF as a billet. Anti-aircraft guns were installed on the towers but never used. Considerable damage was caused by thousands of boots and the owners spent £100,000 on doing it up. However, post-war austerity and changing holiday habits produced fewer and fewer visitors. The hotel’s last private owners were Arthur and Mary Turner, who sold it to Butlins for £6m – a pound a brick - in 1979. The Turners then bought and ran the Hollywood Plaza cinema. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this one, the hotel was plagued by various cases of sickness among its unfortunate guests and staff: gastro-enteritis in 2002, the Norwalk virus in 2004 and 2007, E. coli bacteria in 2005 and an outbreak of vomiting and diarrhoea in 2011. Since then, the hotel has become one of 51 British ‘budget’ hotels owned by Britannia Hotels, which splashed out £7m on refurbishment, and which also has the Clifton and Royal hotels.According to Britannia’s website, rooms cost from as little as £29 per person per night. Last year, the grade-2 listed building was included in a list drawn up by Historic England of “landmark buildings that best sum up the English seaside experience”.

Young David saw the shed as an Aladdin’s cave cum den; and the seed was sown. Like many young lads, he and his pals dressed for battle and played Cowboys and Indians.

Scarborough lady enters the World Record books

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCARBOROUGH lady Alma Turner has entered the Guinness World Record books after a surprise in her garden created an amazing outcome. Alma and partner Robert noticed what they believed to be a new weed in their garden last March and decided to let it grow – and boy did it ever! It turned out to be a Teasel plant otherwise know by its Latin name Dipsacus Fullonum and several months later it was a record breaker. The plant grew to an astonishing 2.74m
(9ft) tall and after contacting Guinness World Records with evidence, Alma is now an official World Record holder. Alma, who lives on Oxcliff, Scarborough, said: “Myself and Robert like to keep our garden neat and tidy but neither of us are gardeners. “At first when we noticed it we thought it was just a weed but decided to see if it would grow as we had not seen it before. It rocketed up and after doing some research we discovered what it was. “We were staggered to see it get so tall that we decided to contact someone from Irton Garden Centre and the Guinness World Records to see if we were in with a chance. “To stand here before you now with a World Record certificate is quite unbelievable but I am also very proud.” Alma took some cuttings of the plant which wilted over the winter months but she is hoping to get it back flourishing later this year. She added: “Imagine if it grew back even bigger and we broke the record again. I would like to thank my friend Clare Stewart, my partner Robert and Ricky Nock and the team at Irton Garden Centre for their help.”

and mayor rang the bell and announced that the cooking of pancakes could commence. The bell was previously hung above the front door of the Rotunda Museum. Before that, it was at St Thomas’s Hospital in North Street, which is why it was moved back there in 1996. It was moved to the museum in 1861 when the hospital was demolished. It was designed as a curfew bell, rung at 6am and 6pm.
Hundreds of children didn’t have to skip school to go skipping on Scarborough seafront - they were all given the afternoon off. Foreshore Road was closed to traffic and the weather was kind for the popular Shrove Tuesday tradition. The annual event was preceded by the ringing of the pancake bell, now mounted for a few hours a year at the Newborough end of North Street. Watched by a small crowd, the town crier

YOUNG Emily Boast had it licked when she won the Harbour Bar Kids Club
Caption Competition. The seven-year-old Newby & Scalby pupil won a load of ice cream after designing a caption for the Christmas card the Habour Bar sent out to all the members of the club. Owner Julian Alonzi said: “We do this every year because we feel it is important to make the youngsters feel special. “Emily designed a great caption and very much deserves to win the prize. It was great to get her down here to have her picture taken for the Scarborough Review and her and her sister even enjoyed an ice cream on a sunny February morning.” Emily said: “I am really pleased to have won and love coming to the Harbour Bar.”
Tales from the Cooler Water
Getting ready for the Coastival beach clean
by steve Crawford
MARCH is a time of year which surfers love, the winter is past and the water is beginning to get a hint of warmth ( well slightly less cold) about it. The main difference we notice is more light. One of the bad things about pursuing an outdoor pastime is that winter can sometimes seem to last an eternity. The benefit of this is that when spring finally comes we really appreciate the chance to start surfing properly. The problem with winter is not, as you might first assume, the cold. It's that, at its shortest, there is less than 8 hours daylight. Add to that the fact that each tide cycle (high tide - low tide - high tide) takes 12 hours and it means that surfing becomes really difficult. Even taking away the need to work and earn a living there is often no chance to surf the waves you want. What most people don't realise is that where we surf is completely dependant on the tides. You simply cannot surf in some places when the tides are wrong. So a bit of mathematics will tell you 12 hour cycle + 8 hour day = fairly grumpy surfers. So cut us a bit of slack over the dark months, we are fairly cheerful all summer.
The beach clean for Coastival went well. On a really chilly day we still had 27 people arrive. The beach looked clean after the big weekend tides but, as usual, there were lots of small pieces of litter to clean up. If you are walking on the beaches over winter, take 5 minutes to have a quick tidy. The small pieces might not seem important because they appear less unsightly, but these are the bits which wildlife can easily eat - with potentially fatal cobsequences. So a little time gives a big reward. Lastly, a big thanks to Huddersfield University surf club who came through especially to help out on the beach clean. You definitely earned your free surf hire. There will be another beach clean on Sunday 13 March at our usual place near the slipway close to Spa bridge on South Bay. It's part of SAS's big spring beach clean event and there will be beach cleans all over the UK mobilising thousands of volunteers - check Fluid concept Facebook page and SAS website for details.

Scarborough Strata by
FOR this edition I want to return to my museum roots , mainly due to an inspiring day I had a couple of weeks ago, more of that later. Museums and their future survival have been in the news recently, with ever increasing budgetary pressures and the seemingly constant news stories about venues closing or under threat. One of the great risks that I can see in this is a reduction in public access to the collections held by museums, wether that be through exhibitions or access to stored collections. Coming back to geology and museums, this is ‘Scarborough Strata’ after all, I have recently been asked to speak at a conference later this year about using natural science collections to inspire and engage
Will Watts
communities, this gave me a great excuse to carry out a task that became the inspiring day. My company Hidden Horizons has over the last couple of years acquired a sizable collection of geology, palaeontology and natural history specimens. Some of these have come from collections that were being dispersed following the closure or similar of the organisations that cared for them. With the help of a small group of expert volunteers we have now made a start on organising and cataloguing this material with a view to making it all available online and as part of our schools and public event packages. The inspirational moment was when we found this beautiful nautilus shell in the collection, a distant relative of the extinct ammonites, this specimen is now part of our schools package covering evolution and will feature in my conference talk later this year. Next month I promise we will return to some outdoor geology, if you would like to join us on an outdoor trip (or an indoor talk) then visit www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk

Spring really is just around the corner!
King Alfred daffs THE last winter will go down in history as the warmest and wettest season for many a year. We have seen record rainfall levels and yet it really only got cold in February. There's no wonder the plants are confused! However, there are definitely signs of Spring in the air now and the Muck and Magic gardeners are spotting tell tale signs every day. Crocus are in full flower and the daffodils are not far behind. It's going to be an early season for them in the muck and magic garden with King Alfred daffs flowering in the first week of February. Magically, the snowdrops are still flowering beautifully and the winter aconites are in full flow. We have also had some very early cherry blossom, so perhaps Mother Nature has treated us to a bonanza of Spring colour all in one go rather than as a succession of seasonal colour. The green house has begun to wake up as well. Its surprising what a small amount
of heat can do to bring over wintered seedlings on and if it keeps the Head Gardener warm and happy whilst he's working in there, who can argue with that? Very shortly the dahlia tubers will be boxed up in spent compost or leaf mould and put under the bench to bring them into growth very steadily. Water carefully at this stage until the days lengthen and the plants are growing away. If the soil in the veg garden is still sticking to your boots, stay off it until it has dried out. However, you can get ahead by sowing some veg plants now in the green house or on the kitchen windowsill ready to plant out when the weather allows. It's also the perfect time to be sowing hardy annuals such as snap dragons, stocks, mallows and cosmos. Finally, how about potting up some lily bulbs into large containers ready for the summer season? Ideal for a patio or balcony garden or, when the time comes, just sink the whole pot into the garden border for instant colour and lift again when flowering is over. Happy Gardening!
Stamp club enjoys another successful meeting By krystal starkey
SCARBOROUGH Philatelic Society enjoyed displays from David Lane and Peter Arnett at the February meeting. Envelopes from Germany between the 1918 and 1923 were shown by David Lane, a disastrous period which ended in hyperinflation while Peter Arnett gave several short displays about covers
posted in Pickering from 1780 and postcards sent in the 1930s. The next meeting will be 1 March, 7pm in Scarborough Library, where the Philatelic society will enjoy a visit from speaker Les Goodens about the Morocco Agencies. Visitors interested in stamps and postal history are welcome to attend.

Two doves at Peasholm Park
The Pagoda in Peasholm Park
The story of the two doves
GRANDPA was going for a walk with his grand-daughter round Peasholm Park, a place they both loved. If you have ever been to Peasholm Park you will know what I mean. There is a lovely lake and gardens, and squirrels, ducks, swans, geese, pigeons, and two doves. “Look at that building on the island,” said Grandpa. “It's like a house people from China used to live in. It's called a pagoda. When Peasholm Park was built, they made the gardens very oriental, like in China and Japan. As it's nearly World Book Day I'd like to tell you a story from China about a pagoda. Then we'll try to find the two doves at the end of the story.” And so, Grandpa began. “Long ago, in China, lived an important man. These important men were called Mandarins.” “Isn't mandarin a kind of orange?” said Grand-daughter, trying to be funny. Grandpa smiled and continued the story. “The Mandarin and his family lived in a beautiful pagoda with a beautiful garden. He had a beautiful daughter called Koong-se who was in love with a man who worked in the Mandarin's office. The man, called Chang, wanted to get married to Koong-se, but he couldn't because the Mandarin would never allow an ordinary man to marry his daughter. Chang was just an ordinary man, not important. So Chang and Koong-se met in secret in the garden every day, near a weeping willow tree. They loved each other so much and wished they could marry. At least they could meet every day. Then oh dear! One day the Mandarin found out about Koong-se and Chang. He sent Chang away, and built a big fence round the garden to keep him out. Koong-se was very unhappy, but things were going to get worse. The Mandarin announced that his daughter Koong-se would be soon
marrying somebody else, a rich and important warrior duke. The duke was coming to visit the next day to make all the arrangements for the wedding. Koong-se was heartbroken. She asked a servant to find Chang and tell him what was going to happen. Well, the duke came, and he brought jewels as a gift for Koong—se. There was a big celebration dinner to congratulate the two who were going to get married. That night, Chang came in disguise to rescue her. He crept over the bridge and into the pagoda and found her. He gathered those jewels, but as they were creeping out, suddenly, the Mandarin woke up and saw them. What a noise as he chased them across the bridge cracking a whip! What a noise! But they escaped, and travelled in a boat to a distant island, where they lived in a beautiful pagoda themselves. They loved each other and were very happy, but they didn't know that the Mandarin had sent out spies to find them and the spies did find them. The spies surrounded their pagoda, so they couldn't escape. They set fire to the pagoda with Koong-se and Chang still inside. What a cruel thing to do! Then something very mysterious happened. From the roof of the burning building flew two doves, soaring into the sky, two doves in love forever.” “Was that Koong-se escaping with Chang?” said Grand-daughter. Grandpa smiled. “Go and find the two doves.” And she did! She found the doves on a picture on boards where the whole story is written. Then it was time to set off for home. Maybe you could find those two doves next time you go to Peasholm Park, and you could read the story yourself. Copyright Joe Coates 2016. www.northbaytales.com

Say i do… at The mayfield By krystal starkey
Brides and grooms to be will get the opportunity to explore ideas for their big day on Wednesday 16th march 5 – 8 at The mayfield Hotel Wedding Fayre. Guests will be welcomed with goodie bags as they arrive and then will be free to explore the function room (new for 2015) with over 20 exhibitors on hand to chat as well as take a look at the en-suite rooms. Whilst checking out the exhibitors, guests will be offered samples of the food and drink available at The mayfield and even get the chance to enter into a prize draw to win their wedding there too. events coordinator, Gina Nesbit, will also be on hand to give guidance and advice on planning the special day too. Wedding fairs are one of the best ways to learn about all your event options. To meet all of the businesses you get in one room in one day, could have taken weeks. What’s more it beats the online shopping experience, you actually get to taste the cake, feel the fabric and smell the flowers. To get the most out of the wedding fair you might want to go prepared: • Always take a notebook • And a backpack, there may be goodies and brochures you may want to take home with you • A companion is also a great idea so you can bounce ideas off each other • if you’ve already bought a dress it may be wise to take a colour swatch so you can see what matches • You may want to have further meetings with vendors so keeping a diary handy could save you writing up your left arm
2016 WEDDInG TrEnDS
To get the ball rolling here’s a round-up of the new ideas and trends that have infiltrated the wedding scene this year.
KEEPInG IT rUSTIC HIS n HErS CoCKTAILS
it doesn’t look like that homemade vintage vibe is going away for 2016. Barn weddings are set to be just as hot as ethey where in 2015. expect to see them from spring all the way through to autumn.
Take the worrying free bar tab out of the equation and serve the favourite drinks of the bride and groom alongside wine, beer and soft drinks as a safety net. Couples are going for this personal touch to represent them on their big day and save a few pennies too.

Food bars have been popping up all over 2015 and have gone from strength to strength. They can be used for desserts, a late night snack bar or even the main food event. ideas so far have ranged from pizza bars, donut bars, sushi, nachos, popcorn and even pies.
(Pic: His n hers chalk board. Credit: Pinterest)
METALLICS rose Gold is predicted to be everywhere. Not surprisingly metallics are going to be a big deal in general, whether used as a bold statement or to add a bit of sparkle to a romantic wedding; you’ll be seeing them wherever you go. From the tiniest of details like wax stamps to the hole theme of a wedding, it’s going to be a beautiful year for weddings.
(Pic: Be as imaginative as you like with your food bar)
VInTAGE rInGS
BoHo DrESSES
Brides are choosing to look into the past for inspiration this year. Your sparkle might be a family heirloom passed down, a rare find in a vintage shop or a newly made ring inspired by years gone by.
Brides are loving boho wedding dresses at the moment, think lacy, willowy and not a lot of padding. Christos Costarellos Spring 2016 wedding dress collection has totally taken the trend under its wing. (Pic: Vintage ring. Credit: Pinterest)

Intrepid lecturer heads to Antarctic for groundbreaking research
The Danse Society bang on track with new album album review by Bryan Jones
By krystal starkey
SCARBOROUGH-BASED lecturer, Cath Waller is about to join an Antarcticbound scientific cruise ship to undertake pioneering research into kelp. SO-AntEco is a British Antarctic Survey (BAS) led expedition with an international team of scientists including participants from 9 different countries and 16 institutes. Cath, who has just published the first comprehensive description of the biodiversity and biogeography of Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic intertidal communities, explains: “My main goal is kelp collecting as we head through the Drake Passage. Floating rafts of kelp are a common sight in the
waters surrounding the Falkland Islands. I am interested to find out where the kelp comes from originally and what animals might live on or among the fronds. I want to understand if these creatures are able to survive once they are carried across the Antarctic Polar Front and into the Southern Ocean. This is the first research of its kind and I am thrilled to have this opportunity.” Whilst away, Cath, who lectures at the University of Hull, will be staying in touch by Twitter (@cathwaller) and via her blog http://southern-ocean-science.net. She will also be linking up with her students back in Scarborough so they can get a first-hand account of her expedition and her research.
THE Danse Society, who now call Scarborough ‘home’ since relocating from Barnsley, have released their sixth album aptly called ‘VI’. For those not in the know the band were one of the founding fathers of the ‘Goth’ movement in the early 80s and had major success with bands like The Cure, The Cult and The Sisters. I have followed The Danse Society since I heard the news that they had reformed in 2011 and while I was a bit sceptic at first as I wasn't sure what to expect after singer Steve Rawlings interrupted communication with the band for the reformation, when I saw them at Leipzig at Wave Gothik Treffen in 2012, despite the technical issues of the venue, I was enchanted by this refreshed version of the band. The music has the same unique dark sound, but as with each release it has evolved, updated. Maethelyiah, the female vocalist, has brought to the band a new dimension. 'VI' shows a confidence and a power never heard before. I found myself mesmerised
starting with Sam Bollands keyboard intro that vibrates deeply, hypnotising the listener with its soft waves building to a crescendo and then the album starts fully - 'Into the Red' is an up tempo track that reminds me of 'Somewhere' their seminal 80s single, the same type of atmosphere. New drummer Iain Hunter does the band real justice, and so does new bassist Jack Cooper as his work with the bass is remarkable. Paul Nash's guitars take you straight back to the 80's and it is The Danse Society again. Maeth's vocals sound much better than in the previous two albums. The production feels more accurate and powerful. I have read that 'VI' was recorded mainly live, unlike the previous couple of albums that somehow sounded a bit 'artificial'. 'Karma Machine' closes the album with pure majesty. Impure prog rock yet with some funky-ish atmospheres, this track is a total show off. The technicality and maturity of the band have finally shaken away the coat of 'goth' and have embraced a beautiful, dark, mature and complex sound that leaves you breathless. This beauty now comes on CD, DD and a limited edition gorgeous red vinyl that I have just received and is truly delightful. n All available from the bands website www.thedanseosciety.com

Words & picture by pete spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A SCARBOROUGH teenager who suffered from a big lack of self-confidence is not holding back any more thanks to Radio Scarborough. Charlotte Sutton, 17, who attends Project
Choice at The Street on William Street Coach Park is now a regular live singer on the station which is based in the same building. Charlotte explained: “When I started attending Project Choice I came across Radio Scarborough and in particular presenter Mark Sinclair who invited me in to the studio for a chat. “I mentioned I had done some singing before and he just said well let's hear you on the radio live. “I did it and have now been on every week for the past month or so. I absolutely love it and it has boosted my confidence no end. I love singing and Mark has been a great support so a big thank you to him.” Mark said: “She is great and just comes in and sings brilliantly. She has a fan base which is growing so watch out for Charlotte.” n Go to www.radioscarborough.co.uk to tune in.

The on-and-off love affair with facial hair Whether you’re a fan of the weathered look or not, it’s hard to ignore the trend for facial hair that resides on this side of 2010. Of course with each fashion wave of facial hair there will always be different styles, from the creepy moustache to the wild and wavy full blown beard. Take a trip into a certain well known cosmetic superstore and you will be able to purchase beard oil, moustache wax, and even combs for your well-loved facial hair. You name it, if it contributes towards the well-being of beards you will find it. March 9 plays host to Yorkshire Beard Day, which you can celebrate at Scarborough Spa, by the way. The British Beard Club will be at the event judging beards while guests can enjoy a host of beers and family fun. A man’s beard if often seen as a sign of masculinity in all it’s glory. In ancient civilizations the beard was seen as a mark of honour, and chopped off as punishment if someone did something wrong. Throughout the middles ages, touching a man’s beard was a sure fire way to start a dual. Henry VIII decided to make a bit of money of the beard and it was a taxable offence, following on from King Henry, Queen Elizabeth apparently just wasn’t much of a fan and continued the tax. Throughout the 19th Century President Lincoln was a trend setter, while WW1 saw the banning of beards for safety when fitting gas masks. It’s pretty safe to say there have been ups and downs for facial hair as long as anyone can document. In recent times beards have been associated with ‘hipsters’• the arty creative type, that may reside in a small coffee shop in Shoreditch. The style isn’t limited: from handlebar moustaches to fully
fledged beards, there hasn’t been a definitive yes or no to any particular style. If you’re looking into giving your beard a little TLC, fear not, it’s pretty easy.
“It’s pretty safe to say there have been ups and downs for facial hair as long as anyone can document.” Here, I’ve looked into beard care routines and picked out the most consistent information I’ve received. Beards can be shampooed regularly; milder shampoos will be easier going on the skin. Conditioner is recommendable to make your facial hair feel softer. Once washed, pat and wipe your beard dry with a towel. To remove tangles brush through with a wide tooth comb. Good luck!
Spring has sprung
And with it comes a feeling of optimism and new beginnings. I’m going to be knuckling down, now that we’ve got through January and February (always the hardest months in my opinion) and working towards a happier, healthier me. I’ve gone about this by taking time out to meditate every day, it works, believe me! I’m also trying to put less fast food in my mouth and lots more fruit and veg… easier said than done. If New Year’s resolutions have fallen down it’s a great time to start them back up again. Personally, I fell at the first hurdle in January but I’ve got a fresh burst of energy and every intention of ‘blossoming in the spring’. My tell-tale signs that spring has sprung always come in the last week of February. I realise it’s still light when I leave work and some of the early daffodils start peeking out. I can’t wait to see what 2016 brings for Scarborough Review Lifestyle and for the people of Scarborough. Have a great spring! This issue we’ve felt really optimistic and I hope that it shows in the editorial content. From the great news that vegans can now enjoy Ben & Jerry’s to Scarborough’s Ella-Rose who is doing some great things in times of personal adversity, this issue has been a pleasure to compile and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it. Best, Krystal

As seen at the Kenzo S/S16 Show
The beauty pageant raises money for the Rainbow Children Foundation; Proceeds from Ella-Rose’s CD will go towards this charity and The Brain and Spine Foundation in memory of her dad.
POOL HAIR The fashion industry’s long term love affair with the wet hair look is still burning bright. To achieve this look, spray your roots with water, comb backwards, then comb a generous dollop of gel through your hair. Messy ends are cool so don’t worry about perfection,
The finals will be held in London and Disneyland Paris where the 13 year old will compete against girls all over the world after being selected by Face of the Globe.
2016 TRENDS
Ella-Rose, 13, who is described as confident and friendly, said: “I hope many people can support me to raise money for these close to my heart Charities by either making a donation or buying one of my CD’S.”

food and drink
This month we’re drinking...
Scarborough food fair returns Scarborough Food Fair has returned to Westborough, Scarborough. The market will be run twice a month on the first and third Saturdays throughout the year from March onwards. Stalls will be open from 9.30am until 4pm in Scarborough’s main shopping street. The stalls will sell street food, artisan products, fresh produce, pies and much more. There is ample car and coach parking for shoppers. Caroline Anderson, co-organiser of the Scarborough Food Fair, said: “We were delighted with the response to the Scarborough Food Fair in 2015 and as a result we will be setting out our stalls twice a month! This means there will be excellent products for customers to browse and purchase on a more regular basis. “We would like to thank all our customers for helping make Scarborough Food Fair a success so far, and also for the support of Scarborough Borough Council.”
Although there is some dispute as to the origin of the Mojito, Cuba is said to be the original birthplace. Tales trace the drink all the way back to the 16th century after a ship’s crew and captain became ill with dysentery and scurvy. It was known that local South American Indians had remedies, so they went ashore to gather medicine, which just so turned out to be a concoction of rum, lime, sugarcane juice and mint. (Yes, the lime probably sorted out the scurvy.)
I N G R E D I E N T S 2 limes, cut into wedges. 6 mint sprigs (+ 1 to garnish). 2 tsp granulated sugar. • Place the limes, mint and sugar into a highball glass. • Mash with the end of a clean rolling pin. • Add the ice and pour over the rum. • Add soda water to taste and stir well. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve.
A handful of ice. 65ml/2½fl oz white rum. A splash soda water, to taste.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Waste not want not
French supermarkets have been banned from throwing away unsold food. The food shops are now required by law to donate left over food to food banks and charities. The law, which was passed unanimously by the French Senate, will apply to any supermarket that’s larger than 400 square metres. Maybe it’s time we started looking at this too...

Garlic and basil chicken (with tomato butter sauce)
Good news for vegans
The art of cooking a decent tea can be deceptively easy if you go about it the right way. Take this recipe for example, there’s merely 8 ingredients including your basic seasoning and cooking fat. We love this simple yet tasty dish, and you can cook it up in less than half an hour.
Famous ice cream chain, Ben & Jerry’s is set to launch it’s first line of non-dairy flavours. The four new flavours vegan’s will get to enjoy are Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey (banana and fudge), Coffee Caramel Fudge and P.B. & Cookies (vanilla with chocolate cookies).
On your marks, get set, go! This recipe serves 2, but there’s no need to religiously stick to our measurements when doubling up, just see how you go. • • • • • • • •
1 lb. chicken breasts Salt and pepper ¼ cup olive oil Six tomatoes, diced (or a tin of chopped tomatoes) Three cloves garlic, minced One handful fresh basil, loosely packed, cut into ribbons ¼ cup Butter Pasta (spaghetti or linguine, as much as you want to eat)
1 2
Sprinkle each piece of chicken generously with salt and freshly pepper.
3
Heat the olive oil then add the chicken and pan-fry for several minutes on each side - the goal here is to get the chicken cooked and golden on the outside. When the chicken is done, set aside.
4
Give the oil a few minutes to cool, add the tomatoes, and return to heat. Simmer to cook the tomatoes down into a chunky-sauce-like-mixture or heat up your ready chopped tomatoes. Add the garlic and butter and stir to combine until the butter is melted. Add the chicken back in to soak in the sauce for a few minutes.
5
Just before serving, stir in the basil. Top servings of pasta with the chicken and the sauce.
Oh Sugar!
Chop, crush and cut the tomatoes, garlic, and basil and set aside. Put your pasta on the boil.

High street cafes have come under scrutiny after campaign group, Action on Sugar released information on the high sugar content of some popular drinks from the chain cafes. It was found that some drinks had as much as 20 teaspoons of sugar in them. Of 131 drinks tested, 98% of them would need a red nutritional value label for sugar. Starbucks, Costa and Cafe Nero all said they were committed to reducing the sugar content in their drinks.

Volunteers work Young adult carers are to preserve the project’s super-heroes countryside

Maria Arnold, a member for five years, twists a hedge into shape
Words and photos by Dave Barry
Giving up a few hours of spare time to preserve the countryside has a powerful appeal to many people. They identify with the need to be proactive about the appearance and functions of the land we live on, balanced against the financial constraints and policies of the powers-that-be. In this area, many belong to Scarborough Conservation Volunteers. Established in 1988 and affiliated to the
British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, SCV meets twice a week. Its aim: to undertake environmental conservation tasks in and around the town, promoting the welfare of the local environment for the benefit of all. SCV is a group of like-minded people from many walks of life who enjoy getting out into the countryside in all weather to get dirty, have a laugh and make friends. Wednesday is the main activity day, involving projects in and around Scarborough and occasionally as far afield as Ravenscar and Whitby. On Saturdays, volunteers converge on a pretty meadow in Raincliffe Woods, wearing warm, weather-proof clothing and boots, and carrying food and drink. Lifts are arranged for those without transport. Typical tasks include coppicing, hedgelaying and planting wildflowers and trees. Members build fences, stiles, steps, boardwalks, ponds, drystone walls and roundhouses. They manage wetland, footpaths, woods, wildlife habitats and churchyards. On the day I caught up with SCV, about a dozen members were coppicing bushes to create a hedge at the bottom of a field. The hedge, designed to stop sheep escaping from a field, was woven around a wire fence which would eventually be removed. The field, sloping upwards from near the mere to Oliver’s Mount, is owned by the borough council but leased to a tenant farmer. Such traditional practices can only be conducted for a few months, from November to February, so that nesting birds aren’t disturbed. n Website: www. scarboroughconservationvolunteers.org. uk.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource has launched its Young Adult Carer project, funded by the Big Lottery. The project supports people aged 16-35 who are caring for someone who is sick or disabled, at home. It may be a parent, sibling or child; another relative or a friend. This group of young people often miss out on life experiences and opportunities taken for granted by other people at their age – going to university, choosing a career path or just going out socially with friends. The project will build on the success of a similar one which finished in 2014. The launch was hosted by chief officer Elizabeth McPherson and project leader David Jackson. Elizabeth said: “We are extremely grateful to the Big Lottery for funding this project. They recognised the need of supporting this often-overlooked group of carers. “Over the next four years we will work in partnership with the Carers Centre in Northallerton to support many young adult carers across both of our areas,” said Elizabeth.
“When the first project finished, we were fortunate to gain the support of local company Moneyweb, who were fantastic at raising funds to keep the project going, albeit in a reduced format.” David added: “We will support young adult carers in a number of ways, providing information and advice for their caring role, helping them access further education and training, as well as having a strong focus on social inclusion by facilitating a wide range of events and activities.” Representatives of organisations across Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale attended the launch, at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, to show their support. The mayor and mayoress, Tom and Ros Fox, were very supportive; Cllr Fox pledged to attend steering group meetings to help the project develop. The theme of the day was Hidden Heroes, which is how young adult carers are described. They selflessly care for the needs of others, often ignoring their own needs and aspirations. The mayor and the professionals who attended were encouraged to don superhero masks and strike a heroic pose for a collection of photos to be used to encourage other professionals to support family carers they may come across in their day-to-day work. The professionals who attended were Bernadette Brown and Bridget Cousins of the Alzheimer’s Society, Stephen Jack of the NHS mental health team, Bill Black of Carers Resource, Sharon Vantie of Mind, Andy Skinner of the Sidewalk Youth Project, Joanne Hakings of Skills Village, Sharon Houghton and Barbara Merrygold from the county council, SM Silvester from the library, Clair Robinson of Coast and Vale Community Action, Hilary Jellie from Hull University, Ian Whitfield of the Disablement Action Group, Kate Lister from Princess Road Clinic in Malton, Victoria Milner of Moneyweb, Cary Bilton of Tyro Training and Laura Young, Andy Rose and Claire Simpson of Yorkshire Coast Homes.

THE Londesborough Arms in Seamer is open and ready to welcome everyone. The popular pub and eatery is under brand new management and has also gone a hefty refurbishment. Wayne Lerigo, who also runs the extremely popular Black Bull in Pickering, and has 35 years in the industry, is the man behind the plan. Wayne said: “The Londesborough Arms used to have a very good reputation and we will get that back. It is a fantastic opportunity which has come along at the right time. We have had great success in Pickering with the Black Bull and want to emulate that.” The Londesborough Arms has only been open a few weeks but already the signs have been very encouraging. Wayne added: “We have done well so far and are pleased with the response. We
From left, Erkan Balon, Wayne Lerigo and Simone Pickering want to be part of the community as much as anything and be a bit of a traditional drinking pub as well as offering great food seven days a week. “Punch Tavern have been fantastic with the refurbishment and we will have 15 rooms upstairs available for hire from around Easter time. “We are putting on live music and entertainment on Saturday nights, have a quiz and are also looking to establish sports teams from the pub. “We also have a car park which is also handy for those coming to eat especially. “I will mainly be at the Black Bull once things settle down with Erkan Balon running things at the Londesborough. We have 15 staff at present which I imagine will go up to around 20 in the summer so that is also a very positive thing. It is an exciting time for us all.” Look for them on Facebook under Londesborough Arms Seamer.

Salty old sea-dog Fred Normandale regaled a full house with fishy tales, at Derwent Valley Bridge in West Ayton. The softly-spoken social historian and author of four books spellbound those present with tales of storms, wrecks, salvage and strange catches at sea and ashore. Fred owns four fishing boats in Scotland and one in Scarborough but doesn’t go to sea any more. He said that slave ships must have been built in Scarborough – “it was the biggest trade going”. Wearing his Scarborough gansey, Fred talked about Bottom End characters. “There were some rum buggers down there,” he said. A fine storyteller, he recollected boyhood tales of collecting and selling flithers (limpets), urchins, etc. One of the pranks he and his mischievous pals would play on visitors involved a monkfish on a table on the harbourside.
Fred Normandale holds forth with his fishy tales
The table, including its legs, was covered with a cloth which concealed one of the lads. A thin pole went through the table and into the ugly fish’s mouth, which would suddenly open, giving visitors a fright. “They’d think it was still alive!” Fred laughed. The talk was part of a season of talks which continues on 17 March. Anita Cassedy and Jan Draper will be talking about their uncle’s experiences as a World War Two prisoner-of-war in a talk entitled Uncle Dan’s Diaries. On 21 April, Philip Watson will explain how he became a published adult and children’s author, while emphasising that writing for fun can be hard work. Speakers booked for the 2016/17 programme include Jane Lovering, Piers Dudgeon, Helen Birmingham and John Ridley Reay. Derwent Valley Bridge is a community library and resource centre at 3 Pickering Road, West Ayton. n For details, ring 865903.

Matthew Kay and wife Hui Shi
IF you are heading to Matthews Greengrocers at Newlands to buy some lovely fresh fruit and veg, well you can now take advantage of their brand new post office. Matthew Kay and wife Hui Shi have taken over the Newlands Post Office, which was based just a few doors down on Newlands Park Drive. Matthew said: “We knew Mick Cooper was retiring from the post office and he actually approached us to see if we would be interested in taking
it on. At first I had to think about it but then we thought about how many people used the service in the area, we thought let's give it a go. “We have only just opened the post office but already it is very busy and we can see how important it is to people to have this facility. “It is a bit manic at the moment but once it settles down it should be a huge asset to the business.” Matthew and his wife opened their greengrocers back in 2014 and it has proved a big success.
With the addition of the post office he is hoping to progress the business even further. He added: “It is a little different to have a post office inside a greengrocers but it is also very exciting and means we can also sell stationary, birthday cards and the like, which is an extra string to our bow. “We are proud of what we have done and hopefully everyone can make the best use of the services we supply.” Matthews Greengrocers and post office is at 40 Newlands Park Drive. Open from 8am-5.30pm Monday to Saturday.

Ex-cop raises Hundreds flock to hundreds for charity Coastival arts festival L-R: author David Lewis presents £351 to Jan Laverick of Save the Children with Jo Pimm of Woodend, where the book on sale
Words and photo by Dave Barry
A retired policeman has raised hundreds of pounds for charity by writing a book. David Lewis put pen to paper in aid of Save the Children. His book, A Little Bit of Trouble in London, is a series of anecdotes collected during his career with London’s Metropolitan Police. It is set against the backdrop of Harold Wilson and the chaotic political situation through to his experiences on a London crime squad. During the IRA’s British mainland campaign, David’s friend and colleague, PC Steve Tibble, was shot and killed by the IRA in Fulham. After joining the Met as a naïve boy, straight from school in 1974, David spent the next four years amid tumultuous times in UK history.
It set him on the path to manhood and the book charts this process from boy to man. He transferred to Oxford (Thames Valley) before being selected for national police training at Harrogate. He finished up back in London on the Met's youth team, retiring in 2010. Living in Scarborough, David is now a fulltime writer, specialising in other people's lives. He is now completing a history of the Holcroft ironmasters of the Midlands, among other works. He founded Third and First Age Theatre, based in Scarborough, and is an associate lecturer at London Policing College. He has lectured and led programmes as a Fulbright fellow at Pennsylvania State University in the USA, for the British Council in China and for the police in South Africa and Abu Dhabi. Drawing on a rich vein of anecdotes from his varied career as a police officer, missionary, writer, theatre impresario and director, hotel porter, gardener and butler in a stately home, he has an engaging and intimate style with audiences. He says: “I am a committee member of the local Workers' Educational Association and support Save the Children because of my lifelong involvement with youth work.” * A Little Bit of Trouble in London, which has John Thaw and Dennis Waterman on the cover, is published by Scarborough’s Valley Press and can be bought at Woodend.

VOLUNTEERS got their hands dirty when they attended a litter picking event at Scarborough Mere. It was organised by Scarborough Youth Council in an effort to keep the Mere clean and tidy. Councillor John Ritchie was one of the volunteers who attended. He said: “It was a great effort from everyone and it is important that we look after such wonderful sites as the Mere. “We would like to thank Yorkshire Coast Homes for their help and also the Mere Development Group who do terrific work.”
Pindar pupils help residents get switched on Pupils demonstrate some equipment JAZZ Court is a purpose built development in the quiet community of Eastfield, near Scarborough. A selection of apartments with a range of on-site services and facilities are available to its residents. George Pindar School Students from Years 7 & 8 visited them to give assistance to
residents who use digital equipment. Mrs Bilton, who coordinated the visit, remarked on the students’ ability and understanding of the products and the outstanding way in which they advised and demonstrated the use of them. This is a great way for young people to work within their community and show their understanding of the digital media products that are available. ICT Teacher, Mr Lee, who also attended, said : “The students were great, they showed their brilliant ICT skills and gave the residents lots of useful tips and suggestions to enable them to make the most out of their equipment.”

Hundreds of people had a lot of fun at Scarborough’s annual Coastival arts festival. They went behind bars and under water and had selfies animated on a giant scale. A procession representing polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated Antarctica voyage, featuring a rowing boat and a barnacled whale, paraded along the seafront to the Spa, where most festival events were staged. On two evenings, large, illuminated, magically realised puppets were the focal point of a strangely wonderful performance in the outdoor Suncourt. Song of Leviathan, presented by Animated Objects Theatre, culminated a year of preparation and rehearsals. Out of over 100 events, 92 were free. The paid shows were by headliners Cast, Asian Dub Foundation, Snake Davis and Hope & Social. Long queues formed outside the old prison in Dean Road, where six artists
exploited the jail setting to great effect. The weirdest arts event I’ve been to for years was Wet Sounds, at the swimming pool. Four waterproof speakers, each resembling a pair of woks, broadcast plinky experimental music audible below the surface. They were complemented by a pair of speakers on the side of the pool and arty film projections onto two blank walls. With up to 100 adults and children in the pool, all wanting to hold their heads under water, the lifeguards – seven instead of the usual three - were on high alert. For much of the weekend, music was played and performed by DJs, VJs and bands in the Engine Room, otherwise known as the Spa café; Tom Townsend’s Den, aka the Spa bar; and at Backseat Mafia, the big room halfway up the Spa staircase. Other Coastival delights included a mini film festival, workshops, children’s entertainment, a fringe and artist talks, at venues ranging from the old parcels office at the railway station to the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Coastival director Wendy Holroyd said that in terms of visitor numbers and popularity of attractions it had been the most successful Coastival yet. “We have had a fantastic weekend, with great audiences at the events and wonderful feedback from everyone”.

Laughs galore with Billy Pearce at Scarborough Spa
Billy Pearce
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
BILLY Pearce is making a welcome return to Scarborough Spa this summer with his family friendly Billy Pearce Laughter Show which runs from 23 May to 21 September. After a sensational 2015 season the Yorkshire comic will dazzle audiences once more at the sea-side venue, with
Billy bringing new gags, skits and musical performances alongside his all singing all dancing cast. Billy first came to National prominence when he became a finalist in the TV talent show New Faces. His personality and fast paced jokes soon became a hit, and Billy quickly got snapped up for various stage and TV appearances including BBC’s You Gotta Be Joking. During the mid 80’s to early 90’s Billy starred in a whole host of shows including Tonight at the London Palladium, The Royal Variety Performance and The Children’s Royal Variety Performance. He’s also a fine actor, starring in popular shows such as Heartbeat and the award winning The Street. Jo Ager, General Manager of The Spa said: “We’re delighted to have Billy back for the 2016 summer season. He was such a big hit in last year’s programming, with great reviews and guest feedback. The Billy Pearce Laughter Show runs in The Spa’s Theatre throughout the summer from 23 May – 21 September, with performances on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8pm. Tickets are now on sale, priced at £15 with one child free per paying adult. Tickets are available from The Spa’s Box Office 01723 821888 and via www.scarboroughspa.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH'S genre-mashing indie pop duo Maven Fiction released their new single Can I Keep You in February. The new material marks a fresh start for the band after a period spent revitalising their sound with Ivor Novello winning writer/ producer Steve Robson (whose writing/ production credits include Ed Sheeran, James Bay, One Direction, Paloma Faith & Take That). After forming in late 2011, Aaron Ward (Vocals/Guitar) and Joe Mitchell (Piano/ Synths) quickly gained media attention after their early single This Is My England was included in coverage of the 2012 Olympics. The success of this anthemic slice of patriotic electro-pop led to thousands of streams and downloads, radio airplay,

UK tours, support shows with Everything Everything and The Futureheads, festival performances and live shows in the USA. However, soon after this initial breakthrough the band lost momentum and decided to re-work their material and hone their song writing craft in the studio before releasing any new music. Now confident that they have found their true sound and armed with a brand new set of pop-infused, synth-driven and radio friendly anthems, the boys are finally ready to make their mark on 2016. The self-produced Can I Keep You is a great reintroduction to their melodic charms and memorable lyrics, and is set to establish them once again as one of the best emerging bands in the UK.

Jane Austen may be long dead but the master of romantic fiction still inspires from beyond the grave. Scarborough author Maureen Eastwood is enjoying favourable reviews for her second Austinesque novel. The first, Emma and Elizabeth, published in 2014, reworks an unfinished ‘fragment’ by Austen by following the fortunes of the Watson family. It has just been succeeded by Brinshore, taking the family’s story into both the next generation and the pages of Austen’s final, unfinished book, Sanditon. Cousins Emma and Anne are staying with their newly widowed aunt on the south coast when a family friend and neighbour, an army officer home from the Napoleonic wars, turns up in the next town. “What follows is an amusing, neatly plotted ‘will they, won’t they?’ romance that makes the most of its seaside setting and the genteel rivalry between
the neighbouring resorts”, according to a review in the current issue of Jane Austen’s Regency World. “Well-drawn characters – some already familiar from Austen’s pages – abound, including Captain Blake’s intriguing business partner Fitzroy and Aunt Harding’s enthusiastic suitor, Mr Fowle”. Eastwood, writing under the pseudonym Ann Mychal, is praised in the review as “an elegant stylist, with an excellent ear for Austinesque dialogue that never slips into pastiche”. The publication of the new novel has been accompanied by the reissue of the first, by JG Books. Eastwood, who hopes to publish another one later this year, had a nice surprise on new year's day, when the Austenprose website declared Brinshore the best Austenesque historical fiction of 2015. “That was a complete surprise!” she said. Austenprose also awarded Brinshore first place in its top 10 Austenesque historical novels of 2016. Last year, the website hailed Eastwood as the best debut author, for Emma and Elizabeth. “Witty and entertaining, Mychal has breathed new life into a novel remnant Austen had to leave incomplete, creating a story with appealing characters, complicated courtships, emotion tugging family dynamics, a solemn deathbed promise and a deeply satisfying ending,” commented Austenprose reviewer Jenny Haggerty. “Add to all that the scenic beachside setting and I’m happy to report Brinshore pleased me as much as its predecessor, more even because of the added pleasure of catching up with old friends”. * The bicentenary of Jane Austen’s death will be marked by various events next year.

Peers and politician join authors at book festival
MC Beaton

Alice Roberts
by Dave Barry
Broadcast veterans Melvyn Bragg and Joan Bakewell headline the third Books by the Beach festival in April. The literary peers will be joined TV presenter Alice Roberts, politician Vince Cable and a host of distinguished authors. Best-selling novelist Tracy Chevalier and biographer Claire Harman will discuss Charlotte Brontë. Separately, Tracy will talk about and read from her new book, At the Edge of the Orchard. Peter James, who won the Crimewriters Association’s Diamond Dagger award this year, returns to cause a stir. Sir Vince Cable, whose role as business secretary placed him at the heart of the coalition government, will offer his perspective on global financial markets and how the British economy has fared since 2008. Professional development trainer Paul Hallam will illustrate how the film Groundhog Day holds the key to happiness. Scarborough Film Society will screen the classic comedy later that evening. Former army officer Harry Parker will introduce his first novel, which is already being tipped as a book of the year. After serving in Iraq, Harry stepped on a bomb in Afghanistan in 2009. Turning to writing, he wrote a novel told through 45 objects. It will be “a powerful and hopeful event,” says festival do-director Heather
French. A classical concert with top soprano Michelle Rothey will be followed by prolific ‘cosy’ crime writer MC Beaton. “Don't be fooled,” says co-director Peter Guttridge. “She may be the queen of the village mystery, but I’ve hosted events with Marion before and she’s razor sharp and full of fun!” Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette Toilette, will talk about the history of fragrances; samples are included in the ticket price. Poetry in various guises features with award-winning Simon Armitage, recalling his travels on foot and reading from Walking Away; Amnesty International guest Philip Gross; and children’s poet Craig Bradley. Janet Ellis, debut author, former Blue Peter presenter and mother of singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, will chat to Fiona Barton, whose first book, The Widow, is already tipped to be the thriller of the year. Richard Hines, whose 1968 novel was the basis of the classic film Kes, discovered his love of falconry at a young age. He became a BBC documentary maker and has written a memoir about how love for his kestrel changed his life. Art biographer Franny Moyle promises “an astonishing portrait” of JMW Turner -the public painter and private man. Separately, she will also discuss the Sunday papers with Vince Cable. Espionage secrets will be shared by Le
Melvyn Bragg Carré expert Adam Sisman and Guy Burgess biographer Andrew Downie, in The Spying Game. This will be followed by an hour of psychological thrills and peculiar crimes as bestseller Joanne Harris shares the stage with fellow author and friend Christopher Fowler. Festival favourite Barry Forshaw is back to host. “TV historians are always unearthing facts for us all to share and I’m certain audiences will flock to see Joann Fletcher and Alice Roberts,” comments Heather. Alice’s event is being sponsored by Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society. Actor Hugh Fraser, best known for his role as Captain Hastings, opposite David Suchet in Poirot, will talk about his novel Harm and the making of an assassin. A tombstone trail wih Greta Scacchi and John Benfield will discover Wartime Lies in Dean Road cemetery. Food is an ever-present theme at the festival. Alison Weir, the UK’s top selling female historian, will share her latest biography over an authentic Tudor-style lunch at a new festival venue - Wykeham Abbey’s old kitchen. Sherlock Holmes will feature in a drama production with dinner at the town hall, with Holmes authority David Stuart Davies; and at the former prison in Dean
Road. Nibbles and five beers from Wold Top Brewery will be offered at the Greensmith and Thackwray coffee shop. Books by the Beach for Nippers is the new children’s festival day sponsored by the library’s Friends. It will feature an Enid Blyton trail in partnership with the library, where most events will be held, and the Museums Trust. Gladstone Road Primary School has been working on a community project with Books by the Beach. Called Dig Reading, it is sponsored by the school and co-ordinated by Lesley Dodd and Heather French. Heather and Peter would like to thank all the partners, sponsors, helpers and volunteers for their continuing support, including North Yorkshire and Scarborough councils. The festival is being sponsored by the Royal Literary Fund, which “is keen to raise awareness for writers and education projects around the country,” comments Heather. “Over the past year, they’ve sponsored talks at a number of literary festivals. We’re delighted they approached us for Scarborough”. Keep an eye on the website for news and blogs: www.booksbythebeach.co.uk. Tickets can be bought at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
Blues book a big hit by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A BOOK written by a Scarborough resident has been hailed a major success. Blues at The Cavern is a humorous piece of nostalgia from post-war Liverpool with a personal perspective from author Raymond David who played along some of the greatest blues legends of the time. The book was first published in 2014 by an American publisher but has had a re-print this year because of its success. Raymond said: “I thought it may provoke some interest along the large number of blues enthusiasts in the town who are ably supported by several venues such as Cellars, the Tap & Spile, Indigo Alley and the Scarborough Blues Club at the Cask.
“The book highlights the blues era of the mid-sixties when my band, the St Louis Checks became Liverpool's premier blues outfit. I signed a contract last year with the publishers who send quarterly statements showing the total sales and commission had been very encouraging both here and in the US. “I have lived in Scarborough most of my life after those exciting times and the book is classed as a biography in the arts and entertainment section of the publisher's site. I just hope more local people in Scarborough get the opportunity to enjoy it.” n Go to: www.VelocePress.com and search under arts and entertainment or search on Amazon or Kindle to purchase the book.

THE excitement is building at the YMCA Theatre on St Thomas Street in Scarborough as preparations are well underway for YMCA Productions’ Spring production ‘Guys & Dolls’.

As well as starring a young cast of over 30 local performers, the production is accompanied by a live orchestra under the musical direction of William Oseland. “The show has an absolutely fantastic score with some really well known songs such as ‘Luck Be A Lady’ and ‘Sit Down You’re Rocking The Boat’”, William said. “The musicians are really excited to be getting started and performing with the cast in April”. Completing the creative trio is Rowlies Academy of Dance who will be providing the choreography for the production. On the opening night of the production the local theatre will be holding a grand opening for it’s brand new theatre bar area, and will be opened by Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire. ‘Guys & Dolls’ shows at the YMCA Theatre, St Thomas Street, Scarborough, YO11 1DY from 2nd – 9th April 2016. n Tickets can be purchased via our box office, via telephone on 01723 506750 or via our website at www.ymcascarborough.uk

RADIO SCARBOROUGH’S TWELFTH MAN SPORTS SHOW HOST ANT TAYLOR GIVES HIS MONTHLY VIEWS ON THE WORLD OF SPORT.
Scarboccia is taking off at Graham School
Football is coming home! Members of the Scarboccia club demonstrate their sport.
Words and photo by Dave Barry
The site of Boro’s new home 2016 hasn't gone to plan for myself, but there is one thing that is getting me all excited. It's coming home, football is coming home. For far too long we have been exiles having to travel 40 miles round trip to go cheer on our boys. But soon, I'll be able to walk out my house and make that short trip to the new stadium/leisure village and still be home for Celebrity Pointless on a Saturday evening. It's had it's moments. Queensgate and fans who have been going there since Scarborough Athletic's inception, I think it will leave with a bit of sadness, but a heart full of memories. Like Boro's 1-0 win over landlords Bridlington in the largest attended match with over 1000 people. That great comeback from Parkgate, we were losing at half-time it was the start of the season. It was left in Darren France, Denny Ingram and James Earl's hands
as Rudy was at his daughter's wedding. It was a wet and miserable August afternoon and at half-time we were losing 2-1 but by the end of the game we won 4-2 with a brace form captain fantastic Tony Hackworth - the crowd was bouncing that day. I was on the bench and when the fourth goal went in, I nearly knocked myself out in the dugout. The best memory of Queensgate will be the day we won our second promotion to the Evostik as we won that game at home. It's going to be awesome beeing back on Scarborough soil, but I want to thank Bridlington Town FC and chairman Peter Smurthwaite and all the Brid fans, thank you for helping us achieve these memories. But when we move over, it starts again the long awaited day when we can create more memories like we still remember from the Athletic Ground all them years ago.
Have you heard of boccia? It’s an inclusive disability sport, similar to bowls and petanque. A Paralympic sport since 1984, it is played at local, national and international levels by athletes with physical disabilities. Scarborough has its own club, Scarboccia, which meets at Graham School on Tuesdays, from 4-6pm. “Boccia is a form of indoor bowls, using handmade leather balls,” explains chairman Pablo Rees, who founded the club in October 2014. A set of 13 balls costs about £300. “I've played at a high level, at national and international level, for six years,” says Pablo, who plays pairs with the Welsh squad.
The game can be played in singles, pairs or teams of three. The first of its kind in Scarborough, the club has just entered a team into the Yorkshire boccia league, which has teams from York and West Yorkshire. It is funded by Sportivate and through donations. In May, for the second time, the Crown Tavern Charity Challenge will donate part of the proceeds of its annual walk to Scarboccia. The club, which has a Facebook page, is looking for volunteers. If you would like to join the happy team, either just turn up or send an email to: Scarboccia @ gmail.com. * Graham School lets its sports hall out to various community groups. For details, ring 366451.

Michelin enters the Road Race arena with Oliver’s Mount partnership
Ready to start at the Gold Cup in 2015
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk MICHELIN has today announced a
partnership with Oliver’s Mount Road Race circuit. Situated in Scarborough, UK, Oliver’s Mount is the only road race circuit
in England and Michelin is proud to be joining the action as a partner for the 2016 race season. The tyre manufacturer has teamed up with Oliver’s Mount Race Circuit, England’s only natural race circuit of its kind, to reach out to even more bikers in 2016. With four events in 2016, the Michelin logo will be lining the 2.5 mile circuit as riders race at speeds up to 180mph trying to win the trophies and championships that will be awarded at the circuit. Oliver’s Mount has been likened to a ‘miniature TT by the seaside’ and is hoping for record crowd numbers in 2016 at events in April, June, July and September. This year is the 70th anniversary of the iconic race circuit, and past Oliver’s Mount winners read like a ‘who’s who’ of motorcycle racing history – featuring legends such as Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Carl Fogarty, Guy Martin and
John McGuinness. Oliver’s Mount marketing director, Scott Beaumont said: “2015 was an amazing year for Oliver’s Mount with huge crowds and fantastic TV and media coverage. With the support of Michelin, we feel that our anniversary year in 2016 will be even better. It really is fantastic news and we hope that this partnership will now grow over the coming years.” Michelin’s marketing manager James Dimmock said: “We are all huge fans of road racing at Michelin and Oliver’s Mount is one of our favourites. Adding Michelin to the circuit partners further adds to our commitment to Road Racing and our support for the riders and events. Expect to see a great Michelin presence at the events in 2016 and feel free to stop by our stand to find out more about our tyres.” n For more information about Oliver’s Mount visit: www.oliversmountracing.com

GoLFInG rEVIEW BY DErrICK ArDEn
Picture of Shaun Jackson (L) and Ian Brown attached FOLLOWING its mid-winter break the East Riding & District of York Alliance resumed its 2015/2016 season at a wild and windy Flamborough Head Golf Club. The cliff top layout, like many other courses in the East Riding, suffered from the recent adverse weather and great credit must be extended to the green staff and members who rallied round to prepare a playable golf course. Gale Force winds greeted the 120 players and despite a forecast to the contrary, the winds continued to increase as the day progressed. A measure of the difficult playing conditions was that over three quarters of the field failed to break the par of 71 and a number of pairs finished the wrong side of eighty. The best returns of the day were four scores of 69 and after recourse to the organisers’ calculator Malton & Norton's Tim Bramhall (6) and Stuart Dawes (13) took the Tankards on the back six. They and Pike Hills Kevin Bramley and Phil Robertson, Sutton Parks Marc Watts and Dave Waterton and the Easingwold duo of Richardson and Roberts shared the aggregated prize money for the first four places. Hornsea extended their lead in the battle for the Hull Daily Mail Challenge Bowl from two shots to five over Hessle, thanks to consistent rounds of 70 and 72 from Steve Uzzell & Andy Dickinson and Sam Middleton & Mark Cooke. Hainsworth Park gamely hung on to third place but thirteen shots adrift of the leaders, leaving Hull and holders North Cliff very much long shot outsiders. From Flamborough the alliance moved on to their next fixture at Ganton, on a gloriously sunny albeit chilly day. The course, as expected, was in excellent condition and significantly drier than recent destinations. The firmer conditions caught out a lot of the players especially on the greens where putts went sliding past the holes and often resulted in three putts. The championship course was expected to suit the professional contingent in the field but in the event it was two amateurs who produced the best round of the day. Kirkbymoorside pair Ian Brown (7) and Shaun Jackson (11) posted an excellent net 65 to secure the Tankards and top prize. Brown had purchased a new 4 wood from the pro shop prior to teeing off but it was his putter
that did the business. Playing off three quarters of handicap he received just five shots but made all of them count as he carded 2 net eagles and 3 net birdies. He was well supported by Jackson who also got them onto the front foot for the back nine using his shot allowance to make an excellent net birdie on the 400 yard par four eleventh, following which he was able to stand back and watch in admiration as septuagenarian Brown covered the remaining seven holes in three under par that included another great putt for a gross birdie on 14 and his second net eagle. Another outstanding card was handed in by Neil Burnley (+1) & Asst. Pro. Michael Durcan (0) from Beverley who posted a brilliant 66, Durcan carded 4 birdies and an eagle. Neil Burnley provided great back up and he also had a gross birdie two at the 10th hole but his plus one handicap and the stroke index being 18 meant he had to put a net 3 on their card and that pushed them into second place. Best of our local pairs was Fraser Kelley (0) & Alan Richardson (10) with a very good net 67 for equal third, the latter coming back to form with 3 gross and 2 net birdies. Also on the 67 mark was Steve Uzzell (0)& Mark Cooke (10) of Hornsea and they were backed up by Adrian Rosindale (3) & Sam Middleton (5) with a 67 to cement Hornseas’ position at the head of the team standings for the Hull Daily Mail Challenge Bowl. They now lead Hessle by 10 shots with only two more fixtures, at Filey and Driffield, to be played so it is now definitely a two horse race but Hornsea look certain to lift the Trophy, leaving Hainsworth, Hull & North Cliff to scrap for third place. The Scarborough & District Alliance also managed to restart the action after the January rains and the organizers and players were delighted to take advantage of the better conditions. Not so for the green keepers who had to labour long and hard to get their respective courses fit for play. The first fixture of the year was at Malton & Norton, at the start of play North Cliff were leading the league standings by two shots from Filey but by the end of the day those positions were reversed and Filey led by six shots. Filey's rise to the top of the order owed
Pictures attached of Neil Cammish (L) & Kevin Keenan (2) much to an eight under par 64 from Kevin Keenan (5) and Neil Cammish (10) that also won them the Tankards but only after a count back edged them ahead of Neil Richardson and Paul Cross from Bridlington Belvedere. Their back nine of just 29 shots, seven under par, featured a purple patch of form for Cammish who registered three nett eagles on holes 10,14 & 16 prior to rounding it off with a nett birdie at the par five eighteenth. They were also well supported by team mates Andy Lyth (6) & Mike Atkinson (13) who posted a net 65 and their combined total took them to the top. After the Malton fixture the league was looking very competitive with Filey at 1063, North Cliff, 1069, both South Cliff & Bridlington on 1070 with Malton 1072, all of which promised a tense finish to the season. Next on the fixture list was Flamborough and If the weather was considered bad for the recent ER&DYA meeting it took a turn for the worse on this occasion as it added continuous rain to the gale force wind. All the contestants were battered to the same degree but nevertheless some posted excellent scores in the horrendous conditions. The winning score in the four balls was a seven under par 64 and unbelievably on such a day there were two pairs on that number. Dave Marsay & Mike Butterworth from Malton & Norton took the Tankards with a magnificent back
nine of 32 or 5 under par, to edge out the extremely unlucky South Cliff pairing of Neil Bruce & Paul Johnson. These two pairs were a clear four shots better than their closest rivals Garry Mathews & Mike Smith of Flamborough who used their home advantage to good effect to take third place on net 68 after having a better back six than Carl Walker & Andy Crawford of Bridlington Belevedere. The Filey duo of Johnny Pickard & Trevor Gwilliam, South Cliff ’s Dave Hall & Dave Purvis and Kirkbymoorside’s G Thornton and S Jackson, all finished on net 69 and were placed accordingly after a further count back. In the Pennant competition South Cliff ’s Bruce and Johnson were well supported by Hall and Purvis aided by Sam Pottage (4)& Callum Chaplin (14) on net 69 and David Hastie (13) & Glen Broadbent (14) with a net 70 to give them the best team score of the day at 272. They are now within one shot of the leaders Filey and seemingly on a roll plus they have a home fixture to come. Also climbing up the table Bridlington moved into third spot ahead of holders North Cliff, who were in second place but had another poor day and slipped back to fourth. With only two more fixtures to come at Whitby and South Cliff it is beginning to look like a two horse race but perhaps there could still be a surprise lurking out there.

Getting into the action
Radio Scarborough’s Mark Sinclair talks to Mica-Noelle Ambler (2)
THE Scarborough Slammers are making an impact in the world of Roller Derby. The club was established in January 2015 as a few friends had an interest in the sport but there was nowhere within a 40 mile radius to play. The group decided to set up their own team and the Scarborough Slammers were born. One of the founders Mica-Noelle Ambler said: “We wanted to create our own team so went ahead and did it and we are delighted with how things have gone so far, although we are always looking for new members and are recruiting at present. “The sport was actually born in the 1940's in America and then eventually came over to England. The nearest team to us is in Hull and we are hoping to be able to compete against them once we get to that level.” There are currently around 20 active members who train every single week at Pindar Leisure Centre in Eastfield on a Wednesday evening. Mica added: “Most of us had not roller
Caroline Bates is all smiles skated since school so we had to get back up to speed and some people who come along have never skated at all. Because it is a full contact sport we have to be extremely careful to make sure everyone is kitted out properly and that they are up to a certain skill level before they get too involved. “ We have had guest coaches come to train with us from Voodoo Roller Dollies in Falkirk, Scotland, Spa Town Roller Girls in Harrogate and Hulls Angels Roller Derby who are a bit closer to home.” The team plan to continue to progress this year and hope to be competing soon. Mica said: “Our aim for 2016 is to hold our own scrim in Scarborough, for surrounding teams to attend and play. “One of the main things about the sport is that it is great fun and brilliant for socialising and meeting new people. It also keeps you very fit.” n If anyone is interested in sponsoring the Scarborough Slammers then please ring Mica on 07598039057.

Boro rEVIEW
BY WILL BAInES
Boro boys must find form BlinDs
Former Scarborough FC midfielder Scott Kerr, now playing for Ossett Albion, battles for possession with Ryan Blott
Recent signing Glenn Matthews takes a tumble against Clitheroe
By Will Baines
Tom Corner gave Boro an early lead after just two minutes with an instinctive shot from 12 yards. Corner also headed against the crossbar and saw his low shot turned behind by Celtic keeper Jake Lofthouse. Lewis Nightingale levelled the scores in the second half from the penalty spot after a foul from Dean Lisles and despite some late Farsley pressure the game finished level to prompt a penalty shoot-out. Two saves from Boro keeper Nick Draper handed Steve Kittrick’s side the advantage but Jamie Forrester and Ryan Blott both saw attempts to win the game saved. In sudden death after Ross Daly skied over the bar Joe Lamplough scored to send Boro through to a quarter-final tie against Carlton Town on 1st March. After the cup success Boro could not repeat the trick with a 1-0 defeat against Ossett Albion on 20 February. Defender Shane Killock went off early on with a nasty injury, but Boro stood firm until Danny South headed in after 66 minutes to give Albion the advantage. Boro’s woes were compounded when goalkeeper Nick Draper collided with Rob Bordman and was shown a red card. There was no way back after that and Boro boss Steve Kittrick needs to get his side into gear quickly to avoid a nervy end to the season.
SCARBOROUGH Athletic need to show an upturn in form quickly or they could be pulled into a relegation scrap during the final two months of the season. Boro have lost 8 games out of 10 in all competitions during 2016 to find themselves hovering just above the drop zone in 18th place in the Evo-Stik First Division North. Despite making progress through to the Integro Doodson League Cup QuarterFinals after a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win over Farsley Celtic, it is the league form of Athletic that will most concern Seadogs manager Steve Kittrick. While there is no doubt that Boro have shown an upturn in form with the addition of new defensive signings Shane Killock, Tom McNamee and Dave Merris, Steve Kittrick's side have continued to struggle in front of goal, with just three goals scored since Christmas. Boro began February with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Brighouse Town at Queensgate, as a Danny Facey strike from a narrow angle into the roof of the net gave the visitors the win. There was certainly lots of pressure in the second half from Athletic to try and get back into the game, with Tom Corner coming agonisingly close to a late equaliser after rounding the keeper, but his shot at goal was blocked on the line. Next up two goals from Sefton Gonzales saw Clitheroe ease past Boro with a 3-1 win. Despite the new Boro signings of Glenn Matthews and Niall Flint, Gonzales pounced from close range against the run of play to head in the opener midway through the first half. This was quickly doubled when Ross Dent cracked in after a cross from the left to dent the home side further. The Seadogs were given hope just before the break though when Blues skipper James Heywood headed into his own net from a corner. Scott Harries should have sealed the win for Clitheroe but skied over, before Gonzales stepped up to find the back of the net with a deflected shot from the edge of the area to put the result beyond doubt. The focus turned to cup action with a penalty shoot-out win over Farsley Celtic.
