Ambitious plans for cinder track prove controversial

by Dave Barry BOLD plans to upgrade the old railway track between Scarborough and Whitby are steeped in controversy.

Sustrans, a sustainable transport charity, has published a highly detailed report on how the 21-mile route could be restored.

But unsubstantiated rumours are circulating among the path’s countless users and thousands of people have signed petitions opposing the plan.

The rumours claim Scarborough Council has sold the track to Sustrans; that it will all be covered in tarmac; and that it will be widened to three metres, causing great damage to the surrounding countryside. None of this is true.

“There's been masses of disinformation”, says cycling campaigner Andy Sharp.

The plan contains many possible options, including reopening the old rail tunnel at Ravenscar, building a new bridge over Scalby beck roughly halfway between Pornic Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue, a new straighter bridge across the beck at Burniston and stabilising landslips just north of Robin Hoods Bay. If all the proposals were ever to be implemented, which is unlikely, the

total cost would be £7.2m.

“The challenge now is to get hold of money to implement the most important parts of the proposals”, Mr Sharp says. “I'm arguing heavily that the priority should be on improving both the track width and surface quality on the section between Manor Road cemetery and the viaduct over the Scalby cut”.

The plan, funded by the Coastal Revival Fund, recognises that the track needs substantial investment and proactive management to protect it for future use by everyone who uses it for recreation, tourism or daily transport, including walkers, horse riders, cyclists, runners and dog owners.

Broad principles for improving the

track in relation to drainage, path construction, vegetation, vehicle use and improved multi-user access are set out, along with 41 section-by-section maps depicting proposals and suggestions.

An initial assessment of ecological issues has been made, but the plan acknowledges that more information needs to be gathered and further work undertaken to protect the wildlife corridor and ancient woodland.

A cost-benefit analysis shows that the proposed works would deliver ‘very high’ value for money, in terms of health, journey quality and local economy benefits.

Old tombola drum finds new home

by Dave Barry An old home-made tombola drum has been given a new lease of life by the Mayoress’s Community Fund (MCF).

It was made in the 1960s by Cllr Ernest Pilgrim for his wife Peggy, who ran a tombola at fundraising events organised by the Mayoress’s Benevolent Fund, as it was then known.

Mrs Pilgrim was one of the fund’s longest serving members. She joined in 1964, when her husband was mayor.

The drum was kept at the Pilgrims’ home until Mrs Pilgrim’s death last year and now lives at the town hall.

It had a few sharp edges and was showing

its age so MCF secretary Bonnie Purchon’s husband Brian rubbed it down and and varnished it.

The drum now bears a plaque stating: “In remembrance of Peggy Pilgrim’s dedicated service of over 50 years to the MCF committee”.

The drum was formally presented to the MCF by Peggy’s daughter Ann, daughter-inlaw Pauline, granddaughters Rosalind and Florence and good friend Julie Kay. “The granddaughters always came to help their grandma with the tombolas on the fayre days”, recalls Mrs Purchon.

The money raised by the MCF goes to local charities.

Words and photo by Dave Barry A LONG-HAIRED member of Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild has had most of her locks cut off in aid of the RNLI. What’s more, she had it done in public, at the lifeboathouse, by Elaine Rackham and Donna Anderson of Donnelles in Seamer.

Dorothy Medd, who raised £1,267, has given her hair to the Little Princess Trust. This charity makes wigs for children who have

lost their hair through alopecia, leukaemia, etc.

Gladys Freeman, who chairs the guild, said: “Dorothy has worked exceptionally hard and has had lots of support given, such as sponsorship and prizes for a raffle and tombola”.

Dorothy’s grandchildren, William, Amelia and Beatrix, were there to support their grandma on the day.

650 entries for Hunmanby show

by Dave Barry THE 72nd annual show of Hunmanby and District Garden Produce Association, at the community centre, had over 650 entries. £650 in prizes and 19 trophies were presented

by Rev Tim Parker of All Saints Church.

The entries were in several categories: flowers, flower arranging, pot plants, fruit and vegetables, domestic, handicraft work, art, photography and children’s classes.

All the exhibits were of a high standard, making the judges’ task difficult.

The domestic section produced a lot of appetising cakes, tarts, biscuits and

preserves. The art, photography and handicraft sections were well supported.

The children's sections showed that there are a lot of talented youngsters about doing baking, artwork and photography.

Founded in 1944, the club has nearly 60 members including eight officers and five committee members.

They meet on the first Tuesday of the months from October to May. “We try to have away trips to houses and gardens during the year”, says secretary Barbara Reynolds.

The 73rd show will be on 5 August 2018.

Boy needs plastic surgery after dog bites face

The dog which bit the boy, with its owners

A BOY will need plastic surgery after being bitten in the face by a dog in Robin Hood’s Bay. Police are appealing to the public to help identify the dog’s owners and have issued a CCTV image.

The incident happened just after 6.10pm on Thursday 17 August, when the boy, 11, was bitten by a brown boxer dog outside the fish-and-chip shop on Albion Road, Robin Hood’s Bay. The boy was taken to Scarborough Hospital by ambulance then transferred to York. He suffered significant facial injuries which required plastic surgery.

Anyone who has any information that could help the police with the investigation should ring 101, press 2 and ask to speak to PC1326 Neil Cholmondeley.

Or email neil.cholmondeley@northyorkshire.pnn. police.uk.

Real ale and real Sign of the times says ‘Don’t feed gulls’ art meet at the old parcels office Words and photo by Dave Barry LAST year’s beer and cider festival at the railway station’s old parcels office went so well that another is on the way.

Run by the Scarborough branch of Camra the Campaign for Real Ale, the second festival will run from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 October, from noon until 11pm.

It will feature 60 real ales and 20 ciders and perries from across the country, including local ales and many making their first appearance in the town.

The festival is a great way to sample the huge range available – mild, bitter, best bitter, golden ales, old ales, strong milds, stout, porter, barley wine, strong old ale, strong bitter and speciality beers.

The festival will feature live music with an open mic and the Fuzz Junkies on the Thursday; Jesse Hutchinson and the Woolgatherers on the Friday; and Frankie Dixon and the Dirty Windows ukulele band on the Saturday.

Big screens have been hung on the walls of the music room to try and improve the sound quality.

There will be food stalls, a Camra stall and a fundraising corner in aid of local charities.

The middle room will have plenty of tables and chairs for people to sit around and browse through tasting notes for the dozens of brews on offer.

The yellow-brick walls in all three rooms will be adorned with art by artists-in-residence.

Festival chairman Stewart Campbell said: “The roof incorporates glass and timber glazing. The light and airy space houses local artists, working in a wide range of visual arts disciplines including painting, drawing and sculpture.

“Some of their work will be on show during the festival, giving an opportunity for many people to visit this great location which was much admired last year”.

Artists work in the building all year round, on a permanent or temporary basis.

During the festival, their work will be mounted under the banner of the Campaign for Real Art. Some of the work on show will be produced by the Blueberry Academy, who support adults with learning difficulties.

Festival volunteers are needed. Application forms are available at the North Riding and Stumble Inn and online at https:// scarboroughbeerfestival.camra.org.uk.

The building, constructed as an excursion station in 1883, was designed by NorthEastern Railway architect William Bell. It was divided into four sections. Two of the big rooms contained toilets for passengers arriving on corridor-less trains. The other large room was a waiting room and three smaller rooms nearest the station were used by guards, carriage inspectors and cabmen.

The building became a parcels office when a separate excursion station was built at Londesborough Road in 1908.

A century later, volunteers began restoring the historic building with a common vision of providing artists with a magnificent space to work and exhibit art in.

They have worked hard to secure funding from the Railway Heritage Trust, English Heritage, Arts Council England and Network Rail.

Chris Hall, who is part of the team, says: “We have maintained the integrity of the building with its three vast high elevated bays, glazed tiles and gabled skylight”.

Camra is an independent, not-for-profit voluntary organisation campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights.

It was formed in 1971 by four men from the north-west who were disillusioned by the domination of the UK beer market by a handful of companies pushing products of low flavour and quality onto the consumer.

Its core aims are to promote real ale and pubs and act as the consumer's champion in relation to the UK and European beer and drinks industry.

It has 175,000 members across the world and has been described as the most successful consumer campaign in Europe.

Camra supports well-run pubs as the centres of community life, in rural and urban areas, and believes their continued existence plays a critical social role in UK culture.

It is financed by membership subscriptions, sales of books and merchandise and the proceeds from beer festivals.

Cllr Bill Chatt with Steven the Seagull in Scarborough

by Dave Barry SIGNS asking people not to feed gulls have been installed on the seafront in Scarborough, Filey and Whitby.

The signs, which feature bold illustrations and simple but strong messages, aim to curb human behaviour by drawing people’s attention to the consequences of their actions.

One shows a teenage boy being swooped on by a herring gull alongside a message saying ‘Stop attacks - never feed the gulls’.

The other shows a group of herring gulls descending on a part-eaten box of chips abandoned on a beach, carrying the message ‘Stop scavenging - never drop litter’.

The signs have been erected in high footfall areas along the seafront in Scarborough and Filey and close to the harbour and piers in Whitby, targeting places where people eat take-away food and access beaches.

Jonathan Bramley, Scarborough Council’s environment and regulation manager said: “It has become increasingly evident in the last few years that there are a number of factors contributing to the behaviour of the herring gulls and the problems associated with them.

“While controlling egg and nest numbers to start to bring the herring gull population down to a more manageable number is one solution, we have to tackle one of the biggest problems, which is human behaviour and how it is teaching gulls that taking human food is acceptable”.

Cllr Bill Chatt, council cabinet member for public health and housing, added: “I urge people, whether living at the coast or

visiting, to take note of the new signs. Don’t be tempted to feed the gulls, no matter how much they try to persuade you, and please remember that the beach is not a dustbin that will simply clear itself after you have left.

“Please pick up your litter, including unwanted food, and either place it in one of the bins nearby or take it home with you to dispose of. Tackling the nuisance caused by gulls isn’t just the job of the council or local businesses; it is a collective responsibility that we all have to commit to if we want to bring about positive changes in the coming months and years”.

Scarborough Athletic Football Club’s mascot, Steven the Seagull, is pictured with Cllr Chatt on Scarborough’s south beach and with Mr Bramley on Filey’s Coble Landing.

Adult education gets a boost Band’s Ayton library benefit

by Dave Barry

A BRANCH of the Workers’ Educational Association is set to open in Scarborough.

Until now, the town’s WEA courses have been run by a regional branch.

Steven Blockley, the WEA’s area organiser for Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale, has been planning the new branch for three years, with a team of tutors and volunteers.

Founded in 1903, the WEA is the UK’s largest provider of adult education in the voluntary sector and one of Britain’s biggest charities.

The new branch will put on day courses, tasters and events on subjects and at venues suggested by students.

It will be launched at an open day at Woodend on Saturday 9 September, from 11am to 3pm.

Visitors will be able to talk to students and tutors about what they want to do. There will be live music, food, art exhibitions and film clips.

Visitors can browse through course brochures and find out about membership and volunteering with the WEA. They will be able to enrol on the spot or online at enrolonline.wea.org.uk, where the area’s course programme can be found.

Art tutor Ruth Collett says: “This is a great

chance to influence what sort of learning the branch develops in Scarborough. What subjects would you like to see that are missing at the moment? Which venues would you like to go to for a course or workshop?

Come along and have your say”.

Ruth is running two practical art courses at Woodend.

They will cover pencil drawing, working with pastels and painting.

The first, starting on 20 September, will guide students through the stages of painting a portrait in easy stages.

A beginner’s class at 10.30am will be followed at 1.30pm by one for people with more painting experience.

On 21 September an art-appreciation course will explore the work of female surrealist painters, sculptors and photographers through presentation and discussion.

Ruth says: “The rich, complex and startling work by these artists takes us on a journey of discovery about art, the mind and the struggle for women artists to succeed”.

WEA courses are free to people on most benefits. n For details, ring 0300 303 3464.

Osgodby volunteers run speed watch

by Dave Barry OSGODBY has become the first part of Scarborough to launch a community speed watch programme. It aims to educate and advise drivers of the dangers of exceeding the speed limit. A team of volunteers has been recruited and trained in the use of speed recording equipment.

Details of vehicles exceeding the speed limit are automatically passed to the police traffic bureau in York. High-visibility signs around the village advise drivers when a speed watch is taking place. The village has many young children and elderly residents whose

A CAR driver high on cocaine nearly hit a pedestrian and a car in the centre of Scarborough.

The pedestrian said Ian James Newsome almost reversed into her twice on Huntriss Row. She rang the police at 8.10am on 3 March.

Officers found Newsome’s silver Renault Clio outside his home in Dean Road.

A wipe test returned a positive result for cocaine and Newsome was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs.

Further tests revealed Newsome to be several times over the drug-driving limit for cocaine, with high levels of benzoylecgonine, a cocaine derivative, found in his system.

At Scarborough magistrates on 8 August, Newsome, 49, was banned for 28 months.

He was ordered to pay over £700 in fines and costs and carry out 300 hours of unpaid work.

PC Will Lane said: “The fact that Newsome thought he could drive safely under the influence of cocaine is truly staggering”.

Old man fined £8,000 for killing geese Words and photo by Dave Barry AN old man has been fined £8,000 for killing geese at West Knapton, near Malton.

At Scarborough magistrates court, Raymond William Twiddle, 83, pleaded guilty to intentionally killing three greylag geese.

A member of the public called the police after seeing Twiddle kill goslings with a spade and then burying two of them.

Officers with specialist wildlife crime expertise found two greylag goslings buried in a mole hill and one in long grass.

A post-mortem examination by a vet confirmed “blunt trauma” as the cause of death.

Greylag geese are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. They are amber listed and are of conservation concern in the UK. Twiddle was fined £8,100 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £170 and £85 prosecution costs.

PC Nick Coning, who led the investigation, said: "We worked closely with the RSPCA,

RSPB and CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] to secure a conviction in this case. The persecution of wild birds is unacceptable.

We treat all forms of wildlife crime in North Yorkshire extremely seriously and we will deal with it professionally and thoroughly”.

Wildlife crime officer PC Graham Bilton added: "The actions of the person involved not only resulted in the death of the goslings but also caused a great deal of stress to the parent birds, who were still present when we arrived. The public need to be aware that anyone committing rural and wildlife crime will be robustly dealt with. The incident highlights the essential and continual hard work of wildlife crime officers”.

Sally Robinson of the CPS said: "This was a sickening and barbaric act. We were able to work with our partner agencies to build a robust case to put before the court. The severity of the penalty imposed in this case is a clear indication that such acts of wilful cruelty will be punished with the full force of the law”.

Some of the Wilf Ward customers and staff at the fun day

Words and photos by Dave Barry THE Wilf Ward Family Trust’s annual fun day in Cayton featured a football match between customers and staff.

The customers - or service users - won.

Medals and customer achievement awards were presented by the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith.

“The weather stayed nice and we had a good day with lots of customers, families and staff”, said Judith Kershaw, who helped organise the event.

Although it wasn’t a fundraising occasion, about £100 was raised for the trust.

The trust was founded in November 1986 to give relief to carers of people with learning disabilities through the provision of residential respite units and day facilities.

Founding trustees Wilf and Phyllis Ward established Isabella Court in Pickering as a short break service for people with disabilities, 30 years ago.

Since then, the trust has grown significantly and now offers a wide range of supported living accommodation and residential care services, as well as specialist holiday accommodation.

SR September 2017.indd 10

It operates across the Yorkshire and Humber region and employs about 1,100 staff.

“We can offer jobs and career opportunities for positions including support workers and managers across more than Paul Stephenson 80 individual hooks a duck (to order services,” said photos ring 353597) Steve Miller, who helped to organise the party.

“We are committed to the principles of personalisation, involvement, inclusion and community engagement, and always place the people we support at the centre of all that we do.

“We believe that by providing great living environments, we create a place of safety where individuals can experience meaningful opportunities, be involved in their community and live independent lifestyles”.

The party was held at the cricket clubhouse in Station Lane, Cayton.

A CHARITY is helping disabled clients to cycle with the the help of a grant.

Two years of funding from the People’s Health Trust underpins the Treats programme run by Scarborough Disability Action Group (Dag).

Dag has hired Scarborough and Ryedale Community Cycling, which has a wide range of bicycles for disabled cyclists, such as side-by-side bikes with two lots of pedals.

Other activities have a social nature and include tai chi, bowling, basic cookery lessons, etc.

“Rides and bikes are a medium for social interaction”, says Treats coordinator Chris Linacre.

The number of people taking part in the bike rides is “growing beautifully”, she says.

An important part of the exercise is identifying safe and accessible routes such as the sections of the old railway line that aren’t too bumpy. Members of Dag and SRCC recently convened at the Hayburn Wyke pub near Cloughton then cycled down the cinder track.

Rob Brown of SRCC, who supports the Sustrans proposal to improve the track, said: “We always try and base rides near a pub or café. It’s ok as long as it ticks the three main boxes - view, brew and loo”.

SRCC is a community interest company. n Websites: www.scarboroughdag.org.uk, www.srcommunitycycling.co.uk.

Starlight Walk for hospice celebrates 10th anniversary

by Dave Barry SAINT Catherine’s Starlight Walk is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an invitation for everyone to join in.

This year’s nocturnal walk will be on Saturday 16 September.

It will begin at 9pm at the hospice at the top of Throxenby Lane, Newby, following a 6.5-mile route around Scarborough’s north and south bays.

As usual, walkers will stop at the Harbour Bar, which has always supported the event.

This year, walkers will be given a lantern which can be decorated and dedicated to a loved one. The lanterns will be placed within the hospice grounds before the walk begins.

Walkers will be given another lantern to light the way.

It costs £14 for adults £5 for children to take part. Walkers can register online or pick up a form at a hospice shop.

• Tom Brickman, 23, has raised £11,000 for Saint Catherine’s by running nine marathons in as many days in memory of his granddad Brian Brickman, who died at the hospice in 2015.

Tom was inspired by Eddie Izzard’s 28-marathon challenge.

He ran 229 miles from Guildford, at the home his granddad built many years ago, to the last place he called home, in Hutton Buscel.

• Rosewood Dental Clinic has raised £856 for Saint Catherine’s with a cake sale and raffle.

The raffle was drawn by the manager of the hospice’s Ramshill shop, Sarah Bayes.

Afterwards, a few cupcakes were dropped off at the hospice for staff and patients.

• A £1 section has been introduced at Saint Catherine’s Falsgrave shop.

It features clothes for men, women and children, bric-a-brac and accessories.

Shop manager Jo Major says it has proved a hit with customers. “It is great that we can offer so much great stock at such a bargain price. The stock is updated on a regular basis so there is always something new for customers to take a look at''.

• The King and Cask pub in North Marine Road has an Elvis music and movie night and a rock ’n’ roll quiz in aid of the hospice every Tuesday evening.

• Saint Catherine’s is looking for entertainers

to perform at its day hospice, which provides services to out-patients every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

“We would love to hear from speakers, storytellers, historians, hobbyists, magicians and musicians”, says organiser Pamela Szymanski.

Anyone interested should ring 351421 and leave a message for Pamela.

• Four pals who climbed the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales in 24 hours raised £2,142 for St Catherine’s.

Jake Sands, Josh Sands, Ben Brewins and Ryan McDowell trained hard to reach peak fitness before scaling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

They walked 22 miles, climbed 10,000ft in altitude and drove over 1,000 miles.

Jake and Josh did it in memory of their mum, Jane Wright, and uncle, Jim Wright, both of whom received hospice care at the end of their lives.

• The hospice’s Filey shop has been refurbished. Manager Linda Moore and her team of volunteers put on a spread of tea and cake at a reopening ceremony. It was attended by the town’s mayor and mayoress,

Richard and Jackie Walker, the hospice’s area retail manager Matthew Wood and hospice trustees Diane Flint and John Stevenson.

Tea party success marred by bereavement Words and photo by Dave Barry FATE didn’t allow the Friends of St Mary’s Church to rest on their laurels for long.

Just as they learnt that their fourth annual tea party had reaped over £600, they also learnt that one of their number had been suddenly snatched away from their midst.

SR September 2017.indd 12

Margaret Cheetham, who had attended the event, died suddenly two days later.

Margaret sat with the new vicar, Rev Richard Walker, at the tea party and took part in the following morning’s communion service at the church, said her old friend Christine Cox. “I shall miss her greatly”, said Christine. “She was a wonderful person”.

Margaret was secretary of the Friends group, which Christine chairs.

She played an active role in its activities. Over the years, the Friends have raised a quarter of a million pounds which has been spent on various church projects.

The most recent one was renovating the south porch.

The tea party was disrupted by a short, sharp cloudburst

which prompted everyone to take cover in the sanctuary of the church.

The money was raised mostly through the sale of refreshments, Christine said.

Golden memories for church celebrations

Words & recent photos by Dave Barry

NORTHSTEAD Methodist Church celebrated its 50th anniversary with a flower festival entitled Golden Memories.

The floral arrangements depicted the last five decades, from flower power through punk, Nelson Mandela and church organisations.

The festival was opened by the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith.

A preview was attended by the church’s minister, Rev Emma Morgan.

The Tenor XI choir, with musical director Vivienne England, performed in the church.

The biggest arrangement featured wedding dresses or gowns from different eras which had been worn by either the arrangers or their daughters when they got married.

They belonged to Beccie Correia, Christine Macer, Moira Davies, Sue Day, Elvie Gehrke, Helen Harron, Gwen Jennings, Joanna Living, Tori O’Hare, Diane Robinson, Jenny Robinson and Kate Ward. A bridesmaid’s dress was loaned by Amelia Living.

Pat Ford, who lives near Long Eaton in Nottinghamshire, used to work at the church and was invited back for the flower festival. Her arrangement was inspired by the Methodist Association of Youth Clubs, which had a branch at the church. It featured MAYC outfits and badges.

The 14 arrangers included several professional florists, such as Jo Purdy, whose parents Anthea and Harry sponsored her punkthemed arrangement. A mannequin wore a black leather jacket with chains and a floral Mohican haircut, next to an Anarchy symbol.

Commenting on the festival, Mrs Purdy said it had been “hard work for a lot of people but it's been worth it”.

The arrangers were Sandra Maddocks, Rosie Aldcroft, Janet Clarkson, Olga Jones, Eileen Lane, Ros Maynard, June Wilkinson, Annette Ness, Claire Fenwick, Lynn Harper, Christine Jenkinson, Deborah Honeysett and Liz Wiffen.

A display of memorabilia including photos and newspaper cuttings reflecting the church’s history was mounted by Ruth Dale.

Charities raise money and profiles at community fair Words and photos by Dave Barry A SHORT, sharp cloudburst deluged the 15th annual Rotary fair in the town centre.

But it came towards the end and didn’t stop 28 charities and community groups raising their profiles and generating cash.

Some people wore fancy dress and the stalls were judged by the mayor, Cllr Martin Smith.

“The best-stall winner was the bright and colourful Age UK, closely followed by Macmillan, who had been knitting for about a year to kit out their stall”, said Jonathan Knight of the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers.

The mayor presented a prize to the manager of Age UK’s Newborough shop, Christine Render, accompanied by club president Christopher Case, who is a licensed street trader.

“It was a great day, in spite of the weather”, Jonathan added. “The big challenge this year was applying for and getting a street trading licence from the council at a cost of £200.

“No fees were charged previously in the last 15 years”.

On the Dean Road Friends stall were, L-R, Rita Hooton, Liz Blades, Sharon Hodgson and Jan Cleary

The charge was “totally inappropriate for such a charitable event and we have remonstrated accordingly”, Jonathan said.

The Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery were “very pleased” with the £290 they made, “particularly as we were rained off mid-afternoon”, according to spokesperson Jan Cleary.

The RNLI raised about £120 at their stall, said Gladys Freeman, who chairs Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, known colloquially as the Hare Krishna movement or Hare Krishnas, performed at the centre of the community fair.

“Anything that helps Krishna consciousness is good for all of us”, a member said.

Badge of honour for armed-forces veterans Words and photos by Dave Barry ARMED-FORCES veterans have been honoured for their service to the country at a ceremony hosted by the FirstLight Trust.

It was at Sharpe’s, FirstLight Trust founder the military charity’s Dorinda Wolfe Murray café in Queen Street, Scarborough.

The vice lord-lieutenant of North Yorkshire, Peter Scrope, and the borough mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith, presented seven men with veterans badges.

They were Craig Alderton, Mike Blackwell, Kenneth Bowtell, Patrick Dawkins, Charlie Hayes, Jeremy Hindle and Bernard Murphy.

The presentation was attended by Green Howards standard bearer Ian Temple; John Anderson BEM of the British Legion, who helped organise the ordering of the badges; and FLT founder and trustee Dorinda Wolfe Murray.

It was organised by the trust’s support coordinator, Sally Bowtell, and activity coordinator Carolyn Mayow.

After joining the Royal Corps of Transport in 1962, Mike Blackwell trained as a driver and was posted to the second division of the Transport Regiment in Germany.

He was employed as a physical training instructor until his discharge as a corporal in 1968.

Craig Alderton, who is partially sighted, joined the Royal Logistic Corps in 1994.

His basic training at Pirbright was followed by trade training at the Army School of Mechanical Transport (ASMT) in Leconfield.

He qualified as a driver and radio operator and was medically discharged as a private in 2000.

Kenneth Bowtell did his national service with 19 Infantry Brigade of the Royal Army Service Corps from 1959-61.

After qualifying as a driver, he was posted to Colchester and had a short spell in Kenya.

When he left the army, he became an engineer.

He is now retired.

Charlie Hayes joined the Royal Logistic Corps in 1973, passing out as a supply specialist.

He served with the fifth regiment of the Royal Artillery, the Second Combat Support Battalion in Germany, the ASMT and in Iraq.

He was a lance corporal when he left the army in 2009.

Bernard Murphy enlisted in 1957. While serving with the West Yorkshire Regiment, he was stationed in Gibraltar, Germany and Aden (in what is now called Yemen).

After he left the army, as a corporal in 1964, he served in the territorial army, rising to sergeant. He is now retired.

Two of the veterans enlisted in the Green

Howards as boy soldiers, trained at Catterick and were posted to the first battalion of the Green Howards as infantrymen.

Jeremy Hindle, who enlisted in 1991, took part in a Nato training exercise in Canada and saw active service in Kosovo in 1994.

He was discharged from the army in 1995 as a private.

Pat Dawkins joined the army in 1987 and served with the battalion until his discharge as a private in 1992. Since then he has been employed in various occupations.

Both Craig and Pat served in Northern Ireland.

Most of the badge recipients were awarded general service medals.

Busy summer fair at children’s centre Words and photos by Dave Barry A SUMMER fair at Gallows Close Centre raised just over £400 for the children's services charity in Barrowcliff.

“Not too bad considering the weather”, says the centre’s development worker Kimmie Avison.

“We had roughly 170 people, which is pretty good really”.

The fair featured a barbecue, a magician, face painting, hook-a-duck, a tombola, live music from the Railroad Hobos, welly races, a penalty shoot-out and other games.

The magician, Stephen Brailsford, went down well with all the children present, including Alfred Pawlowski, 6, of Barrowcliff Road.

Phil Martin and Lee Atkinson of the Stephen Joseph Theatre’s Outreach team ran a drop-in ukulele workshop.

Magician Stephen Brailsford has fun with Participants included Peter Yugire, 7, of Maple Alfred Pawlowski

Drive, who is planning to take it a step further when he starts year 3 at school this month.

Sandy Grant ran a fundraising tombola in aid of Cancer UK. She says her niece has a big tumour in her womb and that her dad died of cancer seven years ago. Raising funds helps Sandy cope with the grief she still feels. She buys most of the tombola items.

SR September 2017.indd 16

A WOMAN grew so fed up with her ageing uncle repeating his travel tales that she gave him a big notebook and told him to write it all down.

Ken Pearson picked up the

gauntlet and ran with it.

The notes became his autobiography, which has just been published.

David Fowler of Farthings Publishing, which printed the book, says: “Ken is nothing if not verbose and apparently he was repeating stories of where he’d been in the world so regularly that his niece was getting a little fed up.

“For his 87th birthday, in February, she bought him pens, pencils and a large notebook.

Whilst he tells me he’s never written a story in his life, he decided to get on with it”.

Recollections, subtitled Around the World

in 50 Years, distils Ken’s eventful life into 22 chapters.

Born in Mexborough in 1930, Ken started work on 14 February 1944, aged 14, as an apprentice fitter. He served in the Royal Engineers and the merchant navy, sailing the seven seas.

He did various jobs but spent most of his time working as an engineer for oil companies, repairing, servicing and maintaining heavy machinery.

Ken has travelled and lived all over the world. For 21 years, he lived in Brazil with his Brazilian wife. The couple had a daughter,

Jayne, who lives in Brazil and has visited Ken three times. “Each time, it’s been too bloody cold for her”, says Ken, who lived about the same length of time in west Africa.

“I ate a lot of elephant meat, which is quite tasty”, he says. His possessions include a rosewood elephant bought in London in the 1960s.

Ken moved to Scarborough in 1978 because his late sister, Florence Doveton, lived in the town. Florence’s daughter Barbara made an author of her uncle, who has lived at Trinity House in St Sepulchre Street for eight years. n Website: www.farthings-publishing.com.

Cliff lift, castle and old nick join heritage open days Words and photos by Dave Barry A CLIFF lift is throwing open its machineroom doors to the curious public for the 23rd annual heritage open days.

This is normally when the public can visit buildings that aren’t usually open.

Besides the cliff lift, Scarborough is offering tours of two churches, a cemetery, the old town and woodland.

Out of town, Ayton's castle and Cayton’s equally ancient parish church are complemented by several events in Hunmanby.

Only three openings involve places normally closed to the public: the cliff lift, Ayton's castle and Hunmanby’s old nick.

The machine room of the cliff lift near the town hall is operated by Central Tramways (8, 9 Sep).

Built in 1881, the lift is a Victorian funicular railway from St Nicholas Street to the seafront.

The room will be open at 10am and 11am both days.

Visits must be booked by emailing info@ centraltramway.co.uk. n www.centraltramway.co.uk.

Free guided tours of the stained glass and decorations in St Martin’s Church, often described as the town’s pre-Raphaelite gem, will be conducted on four days.

A striking artistic installation by Angela Chalmers, entitled There's Something About Mary, will be a focal point.

It’s based on Mary Craven, a well-heeled South Cliff resident who paid for the church to be built as a memorial to her father.

The church will have a display on the life and achievements of Victorian photographer Oliver Sarony, whose purpose-built studio was near the church.

The church and its cafe will be open from 10am to 5pm (7-9 Sep) and noon to 5pm (10 Sep), with tours at 10.30am and 3pm (7, 9 Sep), 11am and 3pm (8 Sep) and noon and 3pm (10 Sep). No booking is required. n www.friendsofstmartins.co.uk, www.angelachalmers.com/mary-craven.

Two-hour guided walks led by Trevor Pearson and Marie Woods of Scarborough Archaeological & Historical Society (SAHS) will look at archaeological discoveries in Raincliffe Woods (10 Sep, 10.30am, 2.30pm).

They will start at Dog Bark Bend carpark which is on the left just before Ox Pasture

The rose window in St Martin’s Church Hall when approaching from Throxenby mere.

It is being organised in conjunction with Raincliffe Woods Community Enterprise.

The route includes steep slopes and will go off footpaths so stout footwear is necessary.

Places must be booked by emailing marie@ heritageadventures.co.uk.

The Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery are preparing for a fair (10 Sep), from 11am to 3pm.

At 1pm, a guided tour of the cemetery will highlight the stories of some of the people buried there, with an exhibition on historic funerals in the cemetery.

Three local funeral directors will display unusual coffins and various ways of transporting them.

There will be activities for children, owls and other birds of prey, craft, table-top and book stalls, a tombola and refreshments, says spokesperson Jan Cleary.

All funds raised will support the restoration of Dean Road Chapel. n www.deanroadchapel.co.uk.

A 90-minute guided tour of the old town is being organised by Scarborough Civic Society (7 Sep).

It will start at the Queen Victoria statue outside the town hall at 2pm.

Places must be booked by ringing 368913. n www.scarboroughcivicsociety.org.uk.

Chris Hall of SAHS will give a talk at St Andrew’s Church in Ramshill (8 Sep).

It will begin at 2pm by the model of medieval Scarborough.

The church, designed by Lockwood and Mawson of Bradford, has been described as

a “cathedral of nonconformity”, paid for by industrialist Titus Salt.

The church will be open from 10am to 4pm.

No booking is required.

Photos of the old town, before the 1930s clearances, can be seen at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

The centre, in Eastborough, boasts a huge archive of information on fishing and shipbuilding, wartime, churches, pubs, etc.

It is open from 11am to 4pm Wed-Sun. No booking is required. n www.scarboroughsmaritimeheritage.org.uk.

One-hour tours of Ayton castle and its environs, with access to the tower and undercroft, will be led by Chris Hall (9 Sep).

Organised by SAHS and the castle’s Friends group, they will begin at 10am, 1pm and 3pm at the interpretation board on Mill Green.

Places must be booked by emailing scarborough.archaeology@btinternet.com.

State the time of the tour you wish to attend, the number in your party, their names and a contact telephone number.

Cayton’s 12th century Norman church bears ancient graffiti and a pendulum clock installed in 1947 in gratitude for no-one from the parish being killed as a result of enemy action in either world war (8, 9 Sep).

It will be open from 2-6pm both days. No booking is required.

Hunmanby, the largest village on the Wolds, is wholeheartedly embracing the open-days event with its own heritage day, organised by

the parish council (9 Sep).

An information stall in Bayley Gardens, next to All Saints Church in the village centre, will have free programmes, a heritage-trail leaflet, a map and a quiz.

A one-hour guided walk around the village centre will start at Bayley Gardens at 1.30pm.

The White Swan is mounting a before-andafter display about the campaign to stop it closing, from 11am.

The pub was the subject of the Save Our Swan campaign when the owner, Enterprise Inns, applied for planning permission for residential development. Plans by SOS to turn it a community-run pub fell through but SOS successfully opposed the application. Then a private buyer stepped in and is renovating it as a going concern.

Three events are happening between 10am and 1pm.

1. The circular stone pinfold and two-cell Victorian lock-up, nicknamed the black hole, at the junction of Stonegate and Sheepdyke Lane, will be open.

2. The local-history group is mounting a display at Wrangham House, a former vicarage which was home to the early 19th century archdeacon, literary figure and social reformer Francis Wrangham.

3. Documents, photos, other items from the parish archives and a mid-19th century oil painting of the village will be displayed at the community centre in Stonegate. n www.heritageopendays.org.uk.

Having fun in the woods Words and photos by Dave Barry DOZENS of children and grown-ups enjoyed a family fun day in Raincliffe woods during the school holiday.

A slack line was tied between two tree trunks, with an extra rope a couple of feet above, for

children to hold on to.

Activities included bushcraft, games, guided walks, mask-making, whittling branches to make wooden instruments, leaf art, bug hunts, making fires and toasting bread and marshmallows.

“It was all about teaching new skills and had an environmental theme so we went litter picking”, said Louise Bairstow, who helped run the event.

It was organised by Hidden Horizons in partnership with Raincliffe Enterprises.

The next activity for children in the woods is a bear hunt walk which will involved making woodland homes for teddies. It is on Saturday 2 September, from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Anyone who would like to take part should meet at Raincliffe Gate carpark at 10.30am. n www.raincliffewoods.co.uk PICTURED RIGHT: Louise Bairstow toasts marshmallows with Sophia Jennison, 6, and her brother Oscar, 8 (to order photos ring 353597) PICTURED LEFT: Having fun on the slackline are Hackness School classmates, L-R, Sonny Hague, Emily Gaskill, Robyn Stringer and Natalie Redhead, all aged 9

Scarborough Tales

BY JOE COATES

GRANDPA GETS EXCITED

One of the things I greatly appreciated when I moved to Scarborough was having a local team in the football league, rather than having to travel to watch a top game.

I enjoyed watching Scarborough. There was a great atmosphere at the McCain stadium, especially at the floodlight games. This story is about, arguably, Scarborough’s greatest game.

THE football season had arrived. Grandpa was so pleased that Scarborough Athletic had returned to play in Scarborough after ten years of playing home games in Bridlington. He’d already seen a match at the new Flamingo Land Stadium. They had used the old gates from the demolished McCain stadium. Come on Boro!

One day, Grandpa was sitting in the garden with grandson Freddie, a Chelsea fan.

“Chelsea won the premier league! Chelsea!

Chelsea! Better than Scarborough, Grandpa!”

“Steady Freddie! Did you know Chelsea had played against Scarborough? Haven’t I told

you about that game?”

“No!” Freddie was puzzled.

Grandpa started his tale, and Freddie realised he must not interrupt. As the tale was told, Grandpa got more excited.

“Ready Freddie? Scarborough were one of the first football clubs in England? 1879 was the year they started. Shuffle those numbers to 1987, and they were promoted into the football league. In 1989, Chelsea came to play in the Littlewoods league cup. Their team was full of great international players, who were sure they couldn’t lose. Scarborough’s team was full of good players with determination and belief that they might win. Manager Colin Norris had prepared the team well.”

Freddie smiled. He knew Scarborough would never beat Chelsea.

“The first match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s home ground, was a 1-1 draw. Well done Seadogs! Then, Chelsea came to the McCain stadium on October 8th for the deciding game. What a game it was! A fairy tale where

To learn and teach little and often Words by Dave Barry, photos by Christina Campbell A LITERACY project for children aged 5-11 is thriving, at St George’s Church in Eastfield.

Butterfly School runs for two hours a week, on Saturday mornings.

It boosts children’s confidence and accelerates learning, says founder Kathy Bushell.

Pupils are assessed individually and progress at their own pace.

While some are mastering the basics, others are learning complicated grammar and looking at extracts from classical literature.

“The point is that each child learns at a level that is right for them: one that will stretch and challenge them without them feeling out of their depth”, Kathy explains.

The class sizes are small and the staff are enthusiastic and encouraging, she adds.

Work time is balanced with games, a breaktime and a story-time.

in the end was because my mother eventually convinced me that it would be possible and so I was able to relax enough to try again. It wasn't easy after that. I think as adults we forget just how difficult reading is. But once I started improving, the relief was huge”.

Children who are already confident readers study short extracts from classical literature to enhance their vocabulary and encourage stimulating discussion and analysis. “We can also use these texts as stepping stones to writing short pieces of creative writing”.

“There have been numerous academic reports and studies made about literacy over the years”, Kathy says.

She says the key findings are that getting children to master basic reading techniques by the age of seven is crucial to gaining fluency later; that synthetic phonics is the best system

the impossible can happen! It’s David against Goliath! But things didn’t go well. Chelsea, in their blue kit, took the lead, one nil up at half time. Scarborough, in their red kit, had a great go at getting the equaliser. The supporters were roaring them on. Then suddenly ……. silence from the home crowd. Chelsea had scored again, two nil, half an hour to go, noisy visitors shouting “Chelsea! Chelsea!”

All looked lost! Then Scarborough’s star player, number eleven Martin Russell, got the ball, slipped down the left wing and crossed to Tommy Graham, who scored. Two one! The crowd started yelling again. “Come on Boro!

Come on Boro!” A few minutes later, another goal! Eighteen year old Paul Robinson scored his first ever goal in senior football. Two two!”

Grandpa was getting excited. He was standing up now with his arms raised.

“Two Two! Come on Boro! The noise was incredible. Then, a sharp blow of the whistle from the referee! Penalty! Steve Norris had been fouled in the box! Penalty! The crowd went silent again. Martin Russell stepped up to take the penalty! Sshh! Left foot! and he scored! He scored! The crowd went wild with excitement! Three two to Scarborough! Three goals in seven minutes”.

By now Grandpa was running around the garden with his arms raised, caught up in the joy of his memory. He sat down when he saw Freddie staring at him.

“What a gripping last fifteen minutes it was!

Chelsea pushing and pushing for an equaliser, Scarborough hanging on, hanging on. At last

September - Issue 49 the final whistle! Scarborough, of Division Four had beaten Chelsea, from near the top of Division One. And I was there! I was there!” Grandpa was definitely “out of puff” so Freddie led him to his seat.

“That’s amazing! Scarborough beating Chelsea. I thought that would be impossible.”

After several quiet minutes, Freddie spoke.

“Would you like a cup of tea, Grandpa? You look tired.”

“Yes please,” said Grandpa. “I’m always tired after football!” copyright joe coates 2017 www.northbaytales.com

Record turnout for play-day beach fun

The sandcastle building area Words and photos by Dave Barry CLOUDY skies and a bracing northerly breeze did nothing to deter local children and their families from enjoying a celebration of play day.

A record-breaking 278 people turned up to the sixth free Yorkshire Coast Homes event on Scarborough’s south beach, marking the national initiative’s 30th anniversary.

Usually held at the beginning of August, it has become a celebration of children’s right

of rounders, seaside-themed art and crafts, face painting and a visit from Whitby’s Captain Jack Sparrow.

Jemma McLean, 10, of Endcliffe Crescent in Scarborough, hard at work on her sandcastle (to order photos ring 353597) Volunteer Sue Wilding guides a pupil “Pupils generally like coming to Butterfly”, Kathy says. “Often, a child who has begun to dislike their week-day school begins to enjoy learning again”.

The Butterfly scheme uses synthetic phonics, the method used in schools. “Butterfly will reinforce and repeat what children are already learning at school, making their learning faster and more secure”, says Kathy, who struggled with reading as a child and became convinced she couldn't read.

“I would even get tummy ache when the flash cards came out”, she says. “The reason I learnt

SR September 2017.indd 20

Pupils reading at Butterfly School for teaching this; and that the children who fare best enjoy reading by the time they are 11 and choose to read in their free time.

“From my experience of learning and teaching literacy, I would add that the key to achieving these literacy aims is to learn and teach little and often”.

Sienna Williams, 7, of Stony Haggs Road in Seamer grips the imaginary steering wheel of her left-hand drive beach-car, with passenger Jordan Fergus, 10, of Edgehill Road in Scarborough to play and helps to ensure that they are given the time, freedom and space to enjoy healthy outdoor fun.

The clouds soon gave way to sunny spells as the children enjoyed a range of games and activities including a tug-of-war, games

The popular sandcastle competition was judged by the mayor of Scarborough, Cllr Martin Smith.

YCH community involvement officer Laura Young said: “We were initially a little worried that the weather might put some families off but that was not the case, with a record number of people coming along to join in the fun.

“The popularity of the national play day events, both in Whitby and Scarborough, is growing year on year and it’s a really great pleasure for YCH staff members to provide this annual opportunity for families to take part”.

By Krystal Starkey The popular performing arts school in Scarborough will see 8 students go on to prestigious stage schools this September following rigorous interviews and auditions.

Macy Gill and Jess Blogg are heading to Wilkes Academy to take a three year musical theatre course. “I am so excited to start a new chapter in my life, training to be a professional performer” said Jess. “I am so grateful to all the teachers that have never given up on me over the past 15 years and have pushed me to be the best I can be.”

Other successful students are also heading to East 15, MADD college and Bodyworks.

“It is always a double edged sword when our students leave us” said principal Julie Hatton, “as we will miss them but are so excited for them at the same time. We are immensely proud of every single one of them and thank them for all their hard work. On behalf of all staff and pupils we wish you every success in the next stage of your career and look forward to your next visit!”

Swim school to use Flower of May all year

by Dave Barry For the first time, the Flower of May is keeping its swimming pool open all year.

It’s for the benefit of the Super Swim Academy, previously known as Lindsey’s Learn to Swim.

Until now, the holiday-park pool, a few miles south of Scarborough, has been closed over winter, explains swim-school coordinator and teacher Lindsey Prior-McKie, who has been teaching swimming for 12 years.

The school suffers from several breakdowns at one of the other pools it used, at Braeburn School, which led to the cancellation of courses.

“A lot of people were affected but parents have been very understanding”, says Lindsey.

The school also uses the pools at Green Gables six nights a week and at the new sport centre on Thursday evenings.

The room, with a great view across the pitch, used to open only during first-class cricket days.

“But we think it's so lovely it should be open all year round”, says the club’s astute commercial manager Victoria Wilkinson.

“We serve Baytown coffee and various teas”, Victoria says. “Customers can choose from cakes, toast, waffles, sandwiches and salads.

All the cakes are baked on site”.

The tea-room initiative is part of a wider campaign to establish the cricket club as an all-year-round business and showcase the beauty of the venue.

The tea room can be hired privately for baby showers, christenings and parties.

The summer marquee will be available for wedding bookings for the first time, from June next year.

DEAR EDITOR, I picked up a copy of the Review today and just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed Heather Elvidge’s column interesting and informative!

Yours sincerely, George John Bowman

ALBEMARLE BAPTIST CHURCH

DEAR EDITOR, Re Dav White’s article entitled Light nights and holy wells (August issue).

Although the article was interesting, I need to point out that Albemarle Baptist Church was built as a Baptist chapel and has never been dedicated to St John the Baptist.

Its name recognises the fact that we do not christen babies but dedicate them to God to allow them to decide if they want to accept that Jesus Christ gave his life on the cross to save them and rose again to ensure the gift of eternal life.

As believers, they may then be baptised by total immersion, signifying dying to the old life and rising up again to new life with Christ.

There is an open baptismal pool, normally empty, in the apse of the church which is a central feature.

However, we have no knowledge of an entrance to a capped spring under the centre of the nave.

It is understood that the spring was piped under the church and originally flowed somewhere down Swanhill Road.

There is a manhole in the crescent gardens which gives access to a water reservoir which was taken to be a water supply for the town.

There has been discussion in the past whether this was used as an air-raid shelter.

I recognise that our building is not the normal plain style of most Baptist churches, being one of very few with a steeple, stained glass and ornate metal pillars as well as the two small stone angels above the front door, being built to reflect Victorian love of Gothic architecture.

The church is situated on what was Barry’s builders yard, designed to make the most of

the site, and was built after the crescent.

Lucy said she was delighted to win the pass, which will give her unlimited admission to the castle and all other English Heritage properties for a year.

“The last time I was at the castle was 10 years ago so I will be making full use of this membership”, Lucy said.

Cavca’s David Stone, who co-ordinates the Totally Socially project, said: “We are very pleased to present Lucy with this membership and hope she enjoys using it.

“Cavca thought that offering this membership would give an added incentive to attend our event at the castle. Judging by the numbers who came and the 100% positive feedback we got, it worked”.

The family day was part of the Totally Socially Long Weekend, an annual event to help promote thriving communities across the borough of Scarborough and the district of Ryedale. n For details of the Totally Socially project, ring David on 362205 or visit http://cavca.org.uk/totally-socially.

SCARBOROUGH-BASED radio station Coast and County is offering to help people like me, who don’t know how to tune a digital radio.

Like many things, when you know how to do it it’s easy but, often, you just need a helping hand, someone to show you how.

I didn’t know how to tune my digital radios in to specific channels so called in to Coast and County and was shown how. It took about two minutes.

“If you're having trouble tuning in, call in and one of our geeks will show you”, says managing director Dave MacGregor, a local businessman who runs Winking Willy's on the seafront and set up Coast and County last year.

The station also has an app so you can listen on one of your devices.

Coast and County’s music is “generated by listeners not playlists”, Dave says. “I felt there was a need for another radio station in town,” he explains. “You have to have an alternative”.

The station has a pool of 26 presenters.

Many oversee specialist programmes on jazz, country, reggae, classic rock, goth/alternative and fusion.

The programme controller is Jerry Scott, who set up Yorkshire Coast Radio 23 years ago and was with Radio York for 12 years.

Jerry presents the Coast and County midmorning show on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the breakfast show on Thursday and Friday.

Weird Fish opens its 14th store Words & photos by Dave Barry WEIRD FISH has opened its 14th store in Scarborough. The Cheltenham-based clothing company’s new shop is in a ground-floor unit previously occupied by Costa, on the corner of Westborough and Bar Street. At the opening, artist Julia Gash painted a large mural featuring many of the nice things that epitomise the town.

A similar design adorns a tote bag which was

given away to customers, along with cones of Angie’s Ice Cream, served by Angie Mason.

Children were invited to make suggestions for the mural. For example, Amelia Bromham, 6, of Crossgates, suggested the castle. Weird Fish has been selling the tote bags in its Weymouth, Newquay, Truro and York stores.

PR person Naomi Hill said: “Weird Fish has kept true to its laid-back, coastal-inspired roots in a new store design, while giving it a

Chris Curtis presents the breakfast show on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the mid-morning show on Thursday and Friday.

The latest recruits include Greg Scott, who joined the team three months ago, and Piotr Lukaszek, whose Polish-language show has become popular with the large Polish community.

It is a commercial station with a maximum of two minutes advertising at a time.

It’s on air 24 hours a day, thanks to a joint initiative involving Radio Seagull in Holland.

The two stations share each other’s output.

Coast and County is broadcast throughout North Yorkshire on the DAB network.

“Most North Yorkshire people have an affinity with Scarborough”, Dave says.

fresh but familiar twist. With nods to a fun nautical theme, tranquil colours and elements of greenery, Weird Fish has striven to bring the outdoors indoors in this new store concept”.

MD John Stockton said: “We have worked hard to bring our new store vision to life. It is a real move on for us and we are delighted to have opened it in the fantastic seaside town of Scarborough”.

The clothing range is the brainchild of Doug

Tilling, who decided to create a line of T-shirts while hiking along the Cornish coast in 1993.

Seven years ago, the company underwent a management buyout which was supported by £8m in funding from Piper Private Equity.

Mr Tilling sold the business to Mr Stockton, who joined the brand from surfing clothes range Animal in 2008. Mr Stockton's new management team agreed a £5.5m asset-based finance facility with KBC Business Capital.

New man at the helm of town’s oldest tattoo parlour

by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S oldest tattoo parlour is thriving under new ownership.

King Arthur’s Tattoo, in the lower end of Eastborough, was established in 1961 by Arthur Bishop.

It had been empty for a few months when Richard Higgins moved in, just over a year ago.

Richard spent a lot of money on refurbishing the premises and installing fixtures and fittings, including autoclave and ultrasonic cleaning machines for sterilising equipment.

SR September 2017.indd 24

Hygiene is of p a r a m o u n t importance.

Needles are never used twice; new ones are used with every customer before being thrown away to avoid all possibility of crosscontamination. The standard of hygiene is the same as at hospitals, Richard points out.

Born and raised in Howden, Richard has run or worked in tattoo shops in Thorne (near Doncaster), Goole, Leeds and Bradford.

He moved to Scarborough when he discovered that King Arthur’s, one of Europe’s oldest tattoo shops, was on the market. “It’s such a historic shop and it would have been wasted if somebody hadn’t taken it over, which would have been a shame”, he says.

Richard is a keen surfer so the move to the coast killed two birds with one stone.

He got his first tattoo when he was 17 and

has been practising tattooing since 2001. He was into skateboard art and getting better and better at creating doing his own designs. He got into tattooing after a tattoo artist made a mess of recreating one of his designs.

“I thought I could do better”, says Richard, who is self-taught.

He puts the huge popularity of tattoos down to celebrities like David Beckham and TV shows such as Miami Ink. “That was a good show for tattoos”, he says.

Most of Richard’s customers don’t book.

“We’re essentially a walk-in shop”, he says.

“We tattoo a lot of tourists”.

Customers often show Richard a design on their phones, although he has a big range Richard Higgins at work of his own to choose from. “It can be timeconsuming for a really good tattoo”, he explains.

Richard is gradually building up a reputation for tattoo craftsmanship and charges £60 an hour in summer and £50 in winter.

King Arthur’s Tattoo has Facebook and Instagram pages which are easy to find.

23RD OCTOBER - 21ST NOVEMBER

TAURUS 20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY

For the sake of domestic harmony, avoid fights with lovers and partners and let them have their own way. Keep any critical thoughts very much to yourself.

Probably some issues with money, where it’s gone and what you’ve got for it, leading at last to some sensible discussions in connection with investments and savings plans.

GEMINI 21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE

Some good ideas being kicked around at the moment, but the only way to make them work is to put them to the test.

There will be some (surprising!) support from a lover or partner, which could well lead to a much stronger romantic energy developing before month’s end. Parents may be concerned for the welfare of female children.

21ST JUNE - 22ND JULY

There is a mood here of burning boats and blowing up bridges. Careful, then, when making decisions. There will be no going back once they’ve been made. Overseas links are quite strong and connect with reunions and business opportunities. Anything to do with pension plans, insurance and saving schemes, seems to be highly relevant.

LEO 23RD JULY - 22ND AUGUST

It’s worth remembering that actions always speak louder than words, and this philosophy is something which cuts both ways. As you are being judged by your actions, then so must you judge others! September is a month for separating the men from the boys and for cutting away some of the dead wood you’ve acquired over the summer..

to be remembered in the years ahead.

A little extra cash opens a few doors, although it has to be said that parents with school-aged children may experience a financial drain. Older children bring pride and pleasure when they are successful in a career ambition. Celebrations all round for that one! One slightly negative note concerns an unexpected bill in connection with transport or motor maintenance. Contracts being signed in connection with jobs.

ARIES On more than one occasion you will find yourself in the middle of family arguments which have nothing directly to do with you. If you just sit back and let others get on with it, you’ll be accused of not caring, so you’d better say or do something to show willing – not that it will actually change anything.

Make a point of not believing all you hear.

LIBRA 23RD SEPTEMBER - 22ND OCTOBER

Some hard bargains in September as you negotiate a process of buying and selling; it will be a case of you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours! Anything you gain at this time will not drop into your lap through good luck. You’re going to have to work and fight for your victories. This, however, is something you will do, and the rewards are sweet.

LIFESTYLE

Ladies, before you can get what you want, you must offer something in return – and offer it first! Gentlemen will be considering every offer and opportunity, weighing up the pros and cons before they commit. Money that is owed to you probably starts finding its way back to you. However much it is, sit on it or shove it in a sock under the bed.

Dear Daphne, I recently had a massive row with one of my friends about me having to pay for our meal and cocktails.

She had conveniently forgotten her purse - it’s not unusual for her to always be a few quid short, never have the right change and outright state that she can't afford stuff, leaving her friends to have to sub her.

None of us ever get paid back and one day I just lost my temper and shouted at her about it. Now that I’ve calmed down, I realise that she's hard up and I feel bad. She hasn't been in contact since we had this row several weeks ago and I don't know what to do. Guilty mate x

LOST MY TEMPER

Apologise. No harm ever came out of apologising, explain that you lost your temper and you didn't mean to shout. Perhaps suggest doing something together that doesn't cost a lot of money, or consulting her before you make plans. It may just be that she doesn't want to miss out on social engagements, regardless of whether she can afford it or not. Stay strong in terms of paying for her though, you don't want to be taken advantage of. Daph x

SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOVEMBER - 21ST DECEMBER

Whatever else may be happening, it is the romantic energy of life which seems to dominate your life at this time, and the more you can put into a relationship the more you’ll get out of it. Yes, there are a host of other things on your mind, but follow your heart and your emotions to find the best, and in some cases, the only solution!

CAPRICORN 22ND DECEMBER - 19TH JANUARY

I think that in this month you are going to get something you have wanted for a long time. The question is, will it bring as much pleasure and satisfaction as you thought it would? Travel energies are strong, and even if there is only one special weekend away, it will be a time worth having because it brings fresh energy to long standing unions and relationships.

AQUARIUS 20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY

If that which you give is taken for granted, then stop giving it and let’s see what happens next! Romantic aspects are strong for emotional rebels but the “Old Fogey Brigade” marks time to the same old tunes. Elderly Aquarians become alarmed at the speed in which the time flies by, and thus, we may see some impulsive “second childhood” situations arising.

PISCES 19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH

I would have thought a very bright and positive month for the majority of Piscesians, especially single fishes who are in the river of life waiting to be caught. There are significant gains and successes in both affairs of the heart and business/career ambitions, and I dare say your mood will become more enthusiastic and positive than it has been for years! Enjoy!

Dear Daphne, I have been with my partner for nearly a year now and I was recently introduced to his young teenage kids. The problem is, they hate me, and I’m not too fond of them either. They weren't ready to meet me, think I’m awful for taking him away from their mother and are, of course, in that difficult answer-back teenage stage. I find them ungrateful and rude. Can I salvage this relationship?

Anon

WICKED STEPMOTHER

Remember that you are the adult here. So you're going to have to bite your tongue. Hormones and mood swings are a brutal combination for a new partner to deal with and it’s good that you want advice and are willing to try and see past the kids’ behaviour.

Be careful not to speak too badly about your partner’s teenagers to him. Remember that parents love their kids way past how other people see them, and he won't necessarily agree with you. It is maybe worth bringing to his attention that you're worried you’re not getting on great with them and see if he can put forward any suggestions to help the situation. A conversation between him and the mother could solve the children’s attitudes, if there is a united front from both sides.

In the meantime, wait it out - they will grow up and realise you're not terrible. Unless you really are a wicked stepmother…

Dear Daphne, My husband went and bought a puppy without telling me. We have two young children and barely enough time to look after ourselves in-between jobs and kids. I can't see a way that it’s going to work, but the kids are already becoming attached and it would be heartbreaking to re-home the pup. What do I do? Angry Wife

IT’S ME OR THE DOG

Grin and bear it. It sounds like you've already begun to adjust. Finding time to fit it into your schedule will be tough but rewarding. Make sure that your pup receives the care and attention it needs to grow into a well behaved, easy to manage dog, and use them as a way to teach your children about responsibilities. Make sure that your husband does most of the walking and feeding - it was his decision after all. Silly man.

Although September is the month when temperatures start to fall and the sun begins giving most of its attention to elsewhere on the planet, it doesn’t have to be the end of sitting in your garden. Here are some outdoor heating ideas to prolong the Great British summer.

Located in a calm cul-de-sac, this modern four bedroom detached property is the perfect place for a growing family.

An open plan lounge and dining room makes for the perfect family hub, while a second reception room serves as a private retreat or a playroom.

Additionally, the house comes with a double garage, conservatory, en-suite bathroom for the master bedroom and an entrance hall featuring cloak room.

The neautral decoration makes this hive a blank canvas ready to be made a family’s own. Laminate flooring downstairs is practical and hardwearing, while carpet upstairs keeps the bedrooms warm and cosy.

Typical modern ammenities come as standard such as UPVC windows, central heating, an electric garage door and a gas hob.

Outside doesn’t disappoint either, the rear garden has a spacious lawn, with beds, shrubs, trees and a garden shed and the garage has side acces.

LEEDS FEST 2017 THE BEST IN AGES Says, Krystal Starkey A time served Leeds fest goer, I volunteered as tribute to head out into the grassy fields of Bramham Park for a day of live music and frivalities once again.

Scarborough and North Yorkshire are blessed with some fabulous local festivals, but to truly get a taste of the music industry’s biggest acts, dirtiest loo’s and large scale fezzy vibes, I head to Leeds Festival.

For many school leavers, Leeds festival is a right of passage, punters can expect a sea of muddy inebriated teenagers and plenty of rain. The food in the past has been average and overpriced, and you can queue for 20 minutes for a drink.

Think in opposite’s to get an idea of how Leeds Festival felt this year.

The sun shone all day, grassy arena’s remained intact.

A remarkably older audience prevailed on the Friday I attended. Bars ran like clockwork and I had the best pulled pork burger of my life.

Maybe everything looks better when the sun shines, a blessing that Leeds fest hadn’t been granted for a couple of years, until 2017.

A diverse line-up saw Facebook famous political comedian Jonathon Pie pack out the alternative stage, while highly sought after rock band, Queen’s of the Stone Age gave a

surprise set at the NME tent. The clue was subtle, on a poster that stated: Villains come this way: a sure fire way to ensure the main audience were people who knew about their newly released album. None the less the NME tent filled up thick and fast.

by Dave Barry THE Archbishop of York will be popping into the Newcastle Packet for a drink next month.

But it’s unlikely that Dr John Sentamu will be knocking back a pint or two as he will be meeting representatives of the fishing industry.

“He was supposed to come here when he was in town for the lifeboathouse opening ceremony but he couldn’t make it so he’s coming in autumn instead”, explained landlady Kath Duffy.

It’s part of a mission weekend in the Scarborough and Filey deanery, from 13-15 October.

Besides the seafront pub, the archbishop will visit the Market Hall, the Rainbow Centre (as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations) and secondary schools.

News in Brief

A Christian perspective on the dangers of fracking will be given by Rt Rev Graham Cray at a meeting at St Mark’s Church in Newby on 21 September, at 7pm.

A strawberry fayre in the grounds of St Andrew’s Church raised £722 for Feed the Minds, a Christian charity which supports the most marginalised people in Africa and Asia through education. It was organised by South Cliff Churches, who thanked everyone who attended.

Part of Scarborough’s seafront has been plunged into darkness at night.

A malfunctioning power cable has extinguished the Marine Drive street lights between the old tollhouse and the skatepark.

A well-informed source told the Review that the dodgy cable wouldn’t be repaired until October.

Which means that if the northern lights threaten to show themselves this far south this month, the Marine Drive could be a great place to see them.

Curious Roots SEPTEMBER can be a pleasant month, although it can’t always decide whether to be summery or autumnal. Grey skies and showers give us that back-end feeling, then the sky clears, the sun shines and it’s summer again.

As the month begins, young swallows twitter on the telephone wires as they wait for a parent to come by — then they all fly up together. It’s a rehearsal for the day when the family will set off on their long migration. The swallows’ departure used to be mysterious, but today we know that their ears are sensitive to changes in air pressure, allowing them to detect approaching weather fronts.

The sun’s strength begins to wane this month, bringing a particular freshness to the early mornings and evenings. Yes, the nights are drawing in. Approaching the autumn equinox on September 22 we lose around four minutes of daylight every day.

On the 6th we’ll see the lovely Harvest Moon.

Every full moon rises as the sun goes down, and on each night following it rises about 50 minutes later. But the full moon nearest the equinox is different.

Because it rises further north along the eastern horizon, the just-past-full Harvest Moon comes up sooner. So there are several nights of moonlight from dusk till dawn, which was a tremendous boon to harvest workers in the past. The shadows were stark, but the moon gave enough light to work by.

After the hard work was finished the farmer used to provide a feast for the workers; this was part of the terms agreed with them before harvesting began. The Harvest Home, or Mell Supper, was held in a barn at the farm, or sometimes in the village pub.

Roast beef, boiled bacon and rabbit pie were served, along with plum pudding and jugs of beer or cider. In the Scarborough area it was customary to bring out a churn of cream, and everyone had a dishful into which they dipped bread or a sort of girdle-cake made with currants. Afterwards there was music for dancing, with breaks for cakes and more ale.

The old-style harvest feast began to die out in the 1880s. In its place came the Harvest Thanksgiving that we know today, which

Scarborough

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

was created in 1843 by the Rev Hawker, vicar of Morwenstow in Cornwall. His church service followed by a supper appealed to the reforming mood of the time — the old farmbased custom with its excesses was thought too unseemly.

When corn was cut with scythes there were always stray ears left in the field, and poor countrywomen had the age-old right to gather them up. Known as gleaning, the custom was honoured by all but the meanest farmers.

Only those in need were allowed to glean, and only for a set length of time. A Gleaning Queen made sure everyone had a fair chance.

Today this charitable custom is back, in a modern form. The UK Gleaning Network links farmers, volunteers, and food distribution charities to make use of unwanted vegetables. With supermarkets demanding uniform standards, and prices so low, farmers can’t afford to pay pickers to harvest less-than-perfect vegetables. Perfectly edible food was being ploughed back into the soil.

Now volunteer gleaners cut those unwanted cauliflowers, kale, onions, or courgettes, and distribute them to food banks, refuges and hospices.

Bees and butterflies are still about, supping nectar from sedums, ivy flowers, and those cheery autumn asters, michaelmas daisies.

Folklore says the asters flower in honour of St Michael, the archangel who bound Lucifer in chains and threw him out of heaven.

St Michael’s feast on September 29 used to mark the end of work on the land. For 500 years Michaelmas filled that celebration gap between the end of summer and the festive season, and just as at Christmas, there was a traditional meal — roast goose stuffed with the season’s new apples. Although we lost Michaelmas a century ago, it’s still an important time for selling livestock, especially sheep.

The month often ends with a fine, mild spell. Not an Indian summer — that occurs in October — but a blackberry summer.

However, bramblers should beware. On Michaelmas Day, the anniversary of his landing on earth in the middle of a bramble bush, Old Nick gets his revenge by spitting on the blackberries.

Lions gala raises £320 Words and photos by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH Lions staged a gala charity event which raised £320.

It was held in the garden at the back of St Mark’s Church in Coldyhill Lane, Newby.

Club president Cyril Smith asked his granddaughter Vicki Smith to paint the faces of children, such as eight-year-old Ruby Lockwood, of Fieldside in Newby.

Cyril was assisted by fellow Lions Ann Golder, Roy Chambers, Alan Deacon, Tony Campbell, Rob Hunter and Gareth Jones and their partners and friends.

Cyril's wife Maureen ran the stall selling cakes and handicrafts. Ann’s partner, Michael

Plumb, was glad it wasn’t too hot as he was wearing the lion costume.

The gala featured games, a raffle, a tombola, refreshments and stalls selling plants, bric-abrac and clothes.

The club is planning two further events.

The first is a free performance by Scarborough Concert Band, with guest Mike Leigh, at Westborough Methodist Church at 7.30pm on 8 September. The show will celebrate the centenary of Lions Clubs International, says president Cyril Smith. The second is a 1940s dinner-dance at North Cliff Golf Club at 7.30pm on 17 November. Tickets cost £18 and can be booked by ringing 377334.

Strata

Words by Roger Osborne Here on the Yorkshire coast we are lucky to have two of the finest geological museums in the country: Whitby Museum in Pannett Park and Scarborough’s very own Rotunda.

The Rotunda has been celebrating the anniversary of its re-opening in 2008 – that historic event saw the museum going back to its original purpose as a museum of geology. I was asked to give a talk about all this at the Rotunda, and it set me thinking about what museums are for, and how they have changed over the last 200 years or so.

When the Rotunda was built in 1829 museums had a clear purpose – they were to show the public the latest innovations.

These were often mixed in with some objects from ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome, but this was a time of rediscovery of the classical world, so these too were at the cutting edge of knowledge. The Rotunda is a prime example, showing off William Smith’s revolutionary discovery that different rock strata each hold different groups of fossils – and that these fossils are unique identifiers of the rocks. Museums were used for research (the Rotunda had a laboratory in the basement) and science teaching.

The Great Exhibition of 1851 showed British ingenuity to the world and more and more museums continued this theme. The culmination of the heroic age of museums was the opening of the Natural History

Museum in London in 1881.

The b u i l d i n g covered five acres and was built to hold samples of everything that nature could offer.

But by then museums were being overtaken by Rotunda Museum events. A plethora of discoveries showed that it was simply impossible to contain everything in one building, and gigantic museums were just exhausting for visitors.

More seriously research and education moved to schools and hospitals leaving museums as dull spaces without a real purpose beyond preserving the past.

In the last 30 years or so this began to change as museum curators started to understand how to attract, entrance and amaze their visitors. The best have used the hidden riches in their collections to create great experiences for visitors. The Rotunda and Whitby Musuem are now magical places, full of objects of wonder. Go see them while you can.

Muck & Magic ITS a well known fact that gardeners are obsessed by the weather. We organise our working lives by the clouds and the sunshine and we learn very quickly, as apprentices, that even the wettest and coldest of days will be cancelled out in our memory by a beautiful blue sky, or a glorious sunrise. This year we seem to have gone straight from spring to autumn with very little to recommend itself in between. Two fine days and a thunderstorm sums it up quite nicely.

However, we are an optimistic bunch and there is always a little hope that September and October will be worth waiting for. So, if your hanging baskets and boxes are looking soggy and your borders have seen better days, hang on in there, it’s time to plan for spring!

Love them or hate them, it’s time to start thinking about hyacinths for Christmas flowering. Begin by buying bulbs for forcing which means that they have been specially treated to flower earlier than if they were put straight in the garden. Our dear friend Ron Womack always recommended putting the bulbs in the fridge for 24 hours to take the nursery heat out of the bulbs and to make them all the same temperature. This will make it easier to get your bulbs into flower all at the same time. Just don’t mistake them for onions! Pot them up, 3 or 5 to a bowl, and make sure that the nose of the bulb is sitting proud of the compost. Don’t bury the whole bulb! Put your pots in a cool, dark place for 8 to 10 weeks and only bring them into gentle warmth when the flower spike is showing above the neck of the bulb. After about another 3 weeks you will be drinking in that heady scent, so beautiful in the middle of winter. The nurseries and garden centres are now fully stocked with Spring bulbs and in the muck and magic garden we are

particularly fond of the miniatures which seem to cope with our coastal winds better and last a bit longer in flower. Tete a Tete is probably the most popular of the miniature daffs with its multi headed stems and dainty flowers. We also grow Narcissus Hawera which is sweetly scented and a variety called Jetfire which is reliable and long lasting with traditional yellow reflexed petals and an orange trumpet. Plant your daffs in September and October but leave the tulips until November. If you plant your tulip bulbs too early there is always the danger that the spring frost will damage them. Once again, the miniature tulip species are well suited to our east coast gardens. Keep a look out in spring for Tulip praestans Fusilier which has been extensively planted on soldiers graves in Dean Road Cemetery by the hard working volunteers. This is a scarlet red species which never fails to stun. We have also had some success with tulips from the Monte series which, although not miniature, are stocky and sturdy plants which will withstand the weather. If you are planting your bulbs straight into the garden don’t forget that they need to be planted at twice the depth of the bulb so that the bulb is covered with its own height again of soil! Muck and Magic Garden Club will be reconvening after the summer break and the next meeting will be held at Ebenezer Church Hall on Monday 11th September beginning at 7pm. Our speaker will be Plant Scientist Peter Williams who will be talking about “Unnatural Gardening.” Everyone is welcome. We are a lovely friendly bunch who just like to swap hints and tips and gardening gossip. For more details visit the muck and magic website, find us on facebook or contact us through the Scarborough Review.

Happy gardening from the Muck and Magic Team.

Time Travel The Floral Hall, which resembled a vast and ornate conservatory, was Scarborough’s most popular entertainment venue in its heyday.

Completed in 1912 and demolished in 1989, it was where the ugly Alexandra bowling centre stands today, looking like a utilitarian aircraft hangar.

Psychic bowlers may discern echoes of the gales of laughter which rang out when a quarter of a million theatregoers saw Charlie Williams at the theatre in 1973, or the ghosts of George Royle’s Fol-de-Rols, who performed there from 1911-63, apart from a couple of breaks.

The bowling centre assumed the name ascribed to the surrounding gardens in 1889, when they were nothing more than a four-acre field converted into a children’s playground.

The name came from the Princess of Wales, Queen Victoria’s Danish daughter-in-law, who succeeded her as queen.

The two crown bowling greens which have survived to this day were created in 1907-08, along with an open-air arena for performances by pierrot shows that usually took place on the beach. The lay of the land was sculpted to provide embankments which protected audiences from cold winds.

The complex cost £4,000. It was designed by borough engineer Harry Smith, whose other achievements include the Mere, Peasholm Park, Northstead Manor Gardens, the south

bay pool, the open-air theatre, etc.

In 1909, a glass roof was erected to cover the stage and the first four rows. Within a few years, a 1,500-seat concert pavilion had been built, with plenty of standing space at the back. It cost ratepayers £2,950.

The venue was called the Floral Hall because it looked like a conservatory and was filled with hanging baskets, flowers and subtropical plants. The flora was eventually phased out to accommodate lighting and production equipment.

The venue built its reputation on the Fol-de-

Rols, who performed over three periods, from 1911-14, 1919-33 and 1945-63, in various lineups.

Pierrot shows were hugely popular and a regular feature of Edwardian entertainment.

Dressed in white and inspired by French and Italian performers, pierrots combined comedy, music and mime. Troupes led by Will Catlin and Tom Carrick were a big hit on the south-bay beach.

Royle thought the original pierrot costumes worn on the beach were out of place in the new venue so dressed his company in

eccentric period costumes. The women wore crinolines and bonnets while the men sported Johnny Walker velvet coats and trousers and beaver top hats.

The first war proved financially disastrous for Royle, who packed up and joined the army. After the war, he teamed up with young demobbed air-force pilot Rex Newman, who became his writer and producer.

Royle retired in 1935, leaving Newman to run the Fols until 1960.

The Floral Hall shows of the 1960s and 70s were its most popular. Besides Charlie Williams, other big attractions included Dickie Henderson in 1964, Harry Worth in 1965, Mike and Bernie Winters in 1966 and Jimmy Clitheroe in 1967.

The Krankies, Stu Francis, Joe Longthorne, Freddie Starr, Les Dawson, Peters & Lee, Berni Flint, Janet Brown, Frank Ifield and Bert Weedon all performed at the Floral Hall.

Barbara Windsor, Jack Smethurst, Kathy Staff, Ian Masters and Kirsten Cook starred in a production of The Mating Game in 1983.

Windsor met her second husband, a chef 19 years younger, during her spell in the town.

By the 1980s, light entertainment was changing rapidly and the Floral Hall had become delapidated. Its final summer season was in 1986.

Scarborough Review

Gates, bars and gargoyles Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology Words, map and photos by Dav White Throughout the ages, Scarborough has had a defensive line around it.

This has taken the form of a dry moat and a wall made from earth and stone.

The wall had gates or bars, used for checking who was entering and exiting the town.

The difference between a gate and a bar is that a gate is on a hinge and a bar is an obstruction or a barrier.

A bar for serving drinks is called a bar for this reason, as it is a barrier to control the sale and serving of drinks.

According to the French writer Foucault, the purpose of gates, bars and town walls in the Middle Ages was “to symbolise the boundary between the community and the spaces of exclusion”.

behaviour or views considered unacceptable, and people suffering from disease.

This approach encouraged suspicion, fear of the exclusion areas and xenophobia - the fear of strangers. It had a profound effect on the cerebral as well as physical landscape, just as our decisions affect the structure of the places we live, and the places we live affect the way we think.

The land outside the town walls became the wilderness, inhabited by the uncivilised.

The bars in Scarborough’s town wall were at the castle and in Newborough, Auborough, West Sandgate and East Sandgate.

The wall and a dry moat or ditch encircled the town from the beach to Bar Street to the castle.

A map of the medieval old town He describes a time where towns and cities in their infancy would strengthen their small communities by excluding everything they didn't want or understand. To be excluded was to be put out of town, beyond the walls.

This could mean getting rid of the bi-products of town life, like household waste. But it could also mean people with problematic

In the 1500s, John Leland, the father of English local history, described Newborough Bar as “meately good” and Auborough Bar as “very base” and “a very flat affair”.

It is not known when Auborough Bar crumbled away but the foundations were uncovered in 1812. An old print shows its arch still standing in the early 18th century.

A gargoyle on the old jail entrance Much of its stone was used to redevelop the houses on Auborough Street.

Historian Dr M Andrews describes West and East Sandgate as gaps in the old wall along the foreshore.

Repairs to a small bridge across the Dam Geth stream are mentioned in the town records but there are few descriptions of what the entrances to the town from the sea looked like.

Historian Joseph Brogden Baker speculated that the old town might have started as two Saxon settlements, centred around Tut Hill, near the harbour, and Dumple, the area at the bottom of Tollergate.

Dumple is derived from dun, meaning fortified hill, suggesting an enclosed community prior to the ancient town walls, so East Sandgate and West Sandgate, whether physical or just gaps in the wall, will certainly be older than the castle’s barbican.

Photos of the original 12th century Newborough Bar, if there are any, have yet to emerge, so we have to rely on drawings and paintings.

In 1843, a magnificent folly was built on the site, for ornamental purposes rather than as a defensive structure. It was demolished in the 1890s as it was deemed a traffic hazard, following the advent of the tram and motor car. In the photos we have of it we see it draped with banners advertising relish and tea.

The grotesques figures and carvings originally found on the outside of churches from the 12th to the 16th centuries became known as gargoyles.

Half-human and half-fantastical animal, they originally represented the twisted, tortured souls of the damned, who were barred from entering the sacred space inside the church.

Gargoyle is derived from the old French word meaning gullet or throat, as the figures were eventually used as part of the ends of guttering - as water spouts. Gargoyle is from the same root word as gargle.

Look at the only gargoyle on the side of St Martin’s Church on South Cliff for example, above the down pipe.

Most important structures during the medieval era contained at least one gargoyle as a gargling water spout. The old jail has two gargoyles either side of the entrance and up on the twin turrets.

The St Martin’s Church gargoyle Gargoyles were “originally used for teaching how we can be corrupted and become prisoners to folly; their wan smile is anxiety in the form of an agile grimace”, Foucault wrote in Madness and Civilisation.

The gargoyle, once a damned creature stuck in limbo on the outside of churches and cathedrals, has come to represent our anxiety and fear of the unknown.

Newborough Bar as it would have looked in the 19th century A folly is a building, or part of a building, made for ornamental rather than functional purposes.

Other follies in Scarborough include Peasholm pagoda and two attached to Dean Road’s former jail and the Castle by the Sea building. The latter, like Newborough Bar, are adorned with turrets, castellations and arrow slits. The old jail even has chains for a drawbridge that never existed. There are many low-status buildings in town with added decorative features which add to the craftsmanship of the building.

999 turns 80

The most ridiculous emergency calls to date

An early 999 call centre

by Dave Barry HOAX and unnecessary calls have always been a feature of the 999 emergency service.

Early operators received complaints about bagpipes being played outside a house and a call about a dispute between the caller and a coalman.

The service was launched in London following a fire at a doctor's surgery that resulted in five fatalities, in 1935.

The fire led to a government committee to look at how telephone operators could identify emergency calls.

The committee proposed that there should be a standard easy-to-remember nationwide number to alert the emergency services. It first considered 707, which corresponded to the letters SOS on the telephone dial, then 333, but settled on 999 as the most practical number.

Initially, each 999 call triggered flashing red lights and hooters to alert exchange operators, but the hooters were so loud that operators pushed a tennis ball into the horn to reduce the volume.

Glasgow was the second city to introduce the service in 1938. The second world war delayed the roll-out across the UK but it had reached all major towns and cities by 1948.

The world's oldest emergency phone service has expanded from handling more than 1,000 calls in its first week of operation in 1937 to around 560,000 calls a week now (some 30m calls a year).

Over 97% of calls are now answered within five seconds; 62% are made from mobile phones.

However, around 35% of calls do not involve requests for help. Most are made by children playing with home phones or people accidentally dialling either 999 or the European emergency number 112, often from a mobile in a pocket or handbag.

999 calls which weren’t so much of an emergency Here are transcripts of exchanges showing the humorous side of unnecessary 999 calls.

Local plan sets out planning framework for 15 years A NEW local plan for the borough has been adopted by Scarborough Council.

It marks the final step in a comprehensive development process carried out over several years.

It has been subject to numerous rounds of public consultation and government inspection.

The plan, which replaces the 1999 plan, will run until 2032.

It sets out where development will be allowed to happen and seeks to protect the coast and countryside.

To accommodate the expected future economic growth of the borough, including the impact of the new potash mine near Whitby, the plan aims to deliver around 450 new homes each year.

Allocations to the north and south of Scarborough and Whitby will be complemented by more modest developments in Filey and villages.

The plan was subject to an independent examination by a government planning inspector. He ruled that the plan was sound after holding hearing sessions in the summer of 2016 and early 2017.

The inspector said some changes were necessary; they have been implemented by the council.

The sessions were attended by developers and residents who put their case forward to the inspector before he made his final decision.

The council will keep the plan under review and monitor its effectiveness each year.

When it becomes necessary to update it, the council will again engage with local residents, developers and other interested parties through extensive consultation.

The council leader, Cllr Derek Bastiman, said: “The plan will give a clear steer to anyone who is interested in carrying out developments within the borough, while recognising we are a ‘will do, can do’ council”.

The cabinet member for strategic planning

and transformation, Cllr Joe Plant, said: “Having an adopted local plan is important because it will guide how our borough will develop until 2032. It promotes the growth of the local economy and recognises the need to provide more housing for our local population, but in a way that acknowledges the importance of our natural and heritage assets. It will provide certainty to local people and developers as to where development can happen and covers all corners of our borough excluding the North York Moors national park”.

The council’s forward planning manager, Steve Wilson, added: “While I understand that some people will be disappointed with parts of the new local plan, the involvement of the public was an important element of the process and has helped greatly in shaping it.

As housing and other allocations are brought forward, local communities will have further opportunities to comment on the planning applications that will set out the detailed design of developments”.

Copies of the plan can be viewed on the council’s website at scarborough.gov.uk/ localplan. n Digital and paper versions are available on request from the forward planning team.

Old village phonebox lovingly restored Words and photos by Dave Barry Eighty years after it arrived, a village phonebox has found a new lease of life.

It has been lovingly restored and turned into a book-exchange and information point.

On Monday evening, over 40 residents in Hutton Buscel attended a reopening ceremony.

Louise Thompson, who chairs the parish council, cut a ribbon and Martin Price read a poem written for the occasion by parish councillor Dee Edmenson.

Beryl Lowson, 90, moved to the village 41 years ago and used the box many times before she had a phone put in at her home.

The advent of mobile phones led to the box being decommissioned in 2008.

Shirley Doyle said: “The box is a K6 which is one of the most famous types of all the GPO boxes.

“It was installed in 1937, making it 80 years old this year”, Shirley said.

“Seven or eight years ago it was offered to Hutton Buscel Parish Council by the GPO for £1. It was duly bought for the village”.

In the parish plan of 2015/16, villagers were consulted on what they wanted to happen to the box. “The top answer was for it to become an information point and bookswap”, Shirley said.

Louise Thompson cuts the ribbon (to order photos ring 353597) A grant of £5,000 was obtained from the Big Lottery Fund and the box has been returned to its former glory by a professional restorer.

“The restoration is museum standard”, said David Jeffels, the county councillor for the area.

Dee Edmenson’s poem: I've stood on this spot for 80 years, I've been the village eyes and ears, Standing here in my coat of red, I've been well used, it has to be said.

Standing here for 80 years, What tales I could tell to listening ears.

Look after me and treat me well, Then your secrets I'll never tell.

Once more I shine for all to see, Restored to glory - for posterity.

Scarborough Review

September - Issue 49

Dramatic start to jazz festival Jazz legend to celebrate Words and photo by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S annual jazz festival will get off to a lively and unusual start.

The powerhouse New York Brass Band will set the mood at 12.30pm on Friday 22 September in the Spa Grand Hall.

The band, who recently played at Glastonbury, Cork Jazz Festival, Le Tour de France and the Monaco Grand Prix, is part of a brass revolution that is sweeping the UK. Inspired by contemporary New Orleans musicians, the ensemble has a wide repertoire that ranges from Marvin Gaye to George Michael, from Cee-Lo Green to Stevie Wonder, with funky, gritty northern originals thrown in for good measure.

The band played in Scarborough’s Market Hall during Coastival in February.

The first day of the festival continues with

The New York Brass Band at the Market Hall (to order photos ring 353597)

Wandering Monster, winners of the 2016/17 Jazz North Introduces award.

This young five-piece combo – sax, guitar, piano, bass and drums – has influences taken from the rhythmic complexity of modern jazz which are juxtaposed with the intensity of classic blue-note recordings.

An intriguing afternoon of contrasting styles will finish with a 10-piece all-women band.

Issie Barratt’s Interchange contains some of the finest jazz musicians in the UK. All the musicians have a wide breadth of musical experience and expertise across many genres. Composer and artistic director Issie, a fine baritone saxophonist, is commissioning some exciting new and eclectic works for this performance.

The festival runs from 22–24 September.

For further information, ring the box office on 821888 or visit the website, www. scarboroughjazzfestival.co.uk.

The full line-up is: Clarinet Maestros, Clark Tracey’s Stan Tracey Legacy Band, Get the Blessing, Gilad Atzmon, Lowest Common Denominator (led by festival compere Alan Barnes), Hexagonal playing McCoy and Mseleku, Janette Mason’s Red Alert, Jason Rebello, Loire Funk All Stars, Mads Mathias Quartet, Mike Gibbs and the 17-piece Hans Koller Big Band, Nicolas Meier Quintet, Nikki Iles & Stan Sultzman, Polly Gibbons Quartet and Seven Pieces of Silver.

Nearly Famous gig raises £1,535

by Dave Barry A GIG at the Corporation Club on Dean Road raised £1,535 for Scarborough Disabled Swimming Club.

It was by Nearly Famous, whose members played in local bands in the 60s and 70s.

They are Jonty Hartley and Mick Hill of Jonty and the Strangers, Pete Liley from the Moonshots and Mandrakes, Bob Woodyatt and Graham Trousdale of the Incas and Pete

Jackson, who played drums with Brave New World.

They were joined by DJ Paul Murray and guest musicians Paul Garbutt and Mick Hill.

Pete Liley thanked the club for the use of its concert room, Guilian Alonze for sponsoring the posters and the tickets, Bernie Hopkins (the Moonshots’ roadie in the 60s) and everyone who bought a ticket.

A similar event is being planned for next year.

his 80th at jazz festival

SCARBOROUGH is the first port of call for Mike Gibbs’ UK tour celebrating his 80th birthday.

It is a big coup for the town’s jazz festival, where the renowned composer will play.

He will join the 17-piece Hans Koller band at the Spa Grand Hall at 8.45pm on Sunday 24 September - the day before his big birthday.

In the 1960s, Mike worked as a trombonist in Graham Collier’s band and John Dankworth’s orchestra.

Since the mid-70s, he has worked as an educator and freelance arranger, doing arrangements and orchestrations for major names such as Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Peter Gabriel, among many others.

Here, festival director Mike Gordon interviews him.

Q The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD lists your skills as trombonist, piano and bandleader. It calls you “one of the most noted composer-arrangers of his era, which continues”. How did it all begin?

A It would take a book to answer that. My best subject at school was chemistry and it was expected I’d go into science. But my mother played the piano and encouraged me to take it up, which I did, but in our colonial culture of the time [Rhodesia mid-50s], music was more of a hobby. However my teacher turned me onto jazz. Louis Armstrong, then the moderns - Gerry Mulligan, Shorty Rogers, Dave Brubeck - and on failing my second year chemistry at university, and having discovered there was a school in America [Berklee in Boston] where one could study jazz, that became my target.

Q I know you have written music for radio, television and films and worked with film directors like Ken Russell, Stephen Poliakoff and Bill Forsyth. Do any productions stand out?

A Bill Forsyth’s HOUSEKEEPING is a beautiful film and I loved doing that score.

I still have fantasies of revamping the music, perhaps in a jazz vein. I also like the score I did for Poliakoff’s CLOSE MY EYES and the electronic score for John Woo’s HARDBOILED. Q You are bringing some fantastic jazz musicians to Scarborough. Can you tell me something about them and this project and what inspired it?

by Dave Barry THE itinerant Scarborough Film Society has another new home - its fifth since the late Tony Davison relaunched it in the 1960s.

Tony, a businessman and former chairman of Yorkshire Film Societies, ran the club at Crescent Arts, the art gallery and the library.

After his death, his nephew, Guy Smith, picked up the baton and showed a few films at the SJT. Now the society, believed to be the oldest in North Yorkshire, has settled in at St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road.

Films will be shown on Monday evenings instead of Fridays.

Guy says: “I am looking forward to screening the new season of worldwide cinema films, produced in France, Spain, Estonia, Iran,

Romania, Denmark and Sweden.

“It's a new venue and change of evening and guest membership remains at only £5 per person. Parking is available for free at the nearby Friars Way and Castle Road council carparks after 6pm, which is an advantage for attendees who struggled to park at the previous venue”.

The films are Irreplaceable (9 Oct), The Unknown Girl (23 Oct), The Journey (6 Nov), Julieta (20 Nov), Lion (4 Dec), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (18 Dec), The Fencer (8 Jan), The Salesman (22 Jan), Denial (5 Feb), Hidden Figures (19 Feb), Their Finest (5 Mar), Graduation (19 Mar), Elle (9 Apr), Twentieth Century Women (23 Apr), Land of Mine (7 May) and A Man Called Ove (21 May).

Look out for loads of Summer Events from pg.45 >

SR September 2017.indd 38

A Well, the inspiration for the concert, obviously, is to celebrate my 80th. It feels like it might be an achievement, of sorts.

But the initial steps were taken by Hans Koller and Michael Janisch who set it going.

Michael is doing a vast amount of legwork to make it happen, including choosing and booking the musicians.

Q You have worked with orchestras across Europe. How do you rate the British jazz scene?

A Since I spent 11 years in the US, teaching at Berklee, and have now been in Spain for 10 years, I am way out of touch. It was when I met Hans Koller in the early 2000s that I began tentatively to get acquainted with what was happening in the UK. I found it bristling with energy, with a slew of fresh ideas and young virtuoso thinkers and players. The band Michael has assembled has some older and some newer players. So it will be a surprise to me on rehearsal day 1.

Q You and I are the same age this year.

I’m always wondering what comes next optimistically of course. What about you?

A This year, I have been constantly occupied with preparing music for these birthday bashes, some new music, lots of revisions and adaptions and music for three bands - NDR Hamburg, UK and the BERKLEE CONCERT ORCHESTRA. Apart from that, I tend not to think much further ahead than perhaps the rest of each week as it arrives.

Q I’m really looking forward to your visit to Scarborough. Have you been before? Don’t forget your swimming trunks.

A I don’t think I’ve been to Scarborough before. But I’ve been mistaken before about having been places or not. Swimming trunks - not likely. I manage on a dip a year here in Malaga. The beach is four blocks away and I only give in to the promptings of my granddaughter, who is 7.

Discover the secrets of the world beneath us

by Dave Barry

THE annual Yorkshire fossil festival is at the Rotunda Museum in Scarborough from 22–24 September.

It offers an opportunity to discover the secrets of the world beneath us.

The festival will feature a lively, engaging and family-friendly programme of dinosaur walks, hands-on workshops, interactive displays, rock pooling, street performances and other events.

The festival, organised by Scarborough Museums Trust and sponsored by the Palaeontological Association, seeks to enlighten and engage families and young people in the world of geology and earth sciences.

Visitors can become immersed in fossils and dinosaurs, many originating from Scarborough and other parts of the Yorkshire coast.

Most of it is free but there is a small charge for the rock pooling and dinosaur walks.

Visitors will be able to talk to a host of geology experts and scientists who will share their knowledge and new discoveries.

They will come from Whitby Museum, Oxford University’s natural history museum, York Museums Trust, Dinosaur Isle Museum, the Natural History Museum, Hidden Horizons, Leeds and Leicester universities, the Palaeontological Association, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Yorkshire Geological Society, Rotunda Geology Group and High Tide Publishing.

Scarborough Review

World war events at castle draws thousands Words and photos by Dave Barry The dramatic story of the world wars and their impact on Scarborough was vividly told at an event which drew thousands of visitors.

Over two days, explosives were detonated and war-time experiences recreated as performers portrayed tumultuous periods in British history.

An arena was cordoned off to show how WW2 commandos and combat engineers made things go bang in the night, using grenades, firebombs, bazookas and dynamite.

Visitors learnt about Britain's airborne forces, the part played by unsung D-Day heroes, break-outs from prisoner-of-war camps, forged documents, secret hiding places and the daring commando mission to kidnap a German general on the eve of D-Day. An interactive play told tales of evacuations, air-raid patrol men, prime ministers, conscription and entertaining the masses with ENSA - the Entertainments National Service Association.

Youngsters volunteered for duty, trained for

a rifle drill and got combat-fit on an assault course.

Among the participants was Winston Churchill impersonator Ken Elbourne of Irton, who often appears at Pickering’s annual war weekend on behalf of Scarborough Amateur Radio Society.

Robbie McKennan, an RNLI education volunteer, dressed as a member of the 165th signal photographic company of the US army.

The Honeybirds band performed outside the former master gunner’s house.

In WW1 displays, visitors watched stretcher bearers at work, learnt about medics and had a go at bandaging a casualty.

They learnt about aerial combat and how Germany's greatest air ace, the Red Baron, met his fate above the trenches.

They were told stories of how a naval diver recovered vital code books from German U-boats sunk off the Yorkshire coast.

Inevitably, a section was devoted to the bombardment of Scarborough in 1914.

Mixed bag of arts at Woodend

by Dave Barry Talks, plays, an Americana gig and an art exhibition comprise Woodend’s mixed bag for September.

Tim Tubbs’ production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Ruddigore is at the YMCA Theatre (see page 42).

To introduce it, Tim is giving three talks on the Gothic in English literature.

Arising from the late 18th century Romantic movement, Gothic horror inspired the popular novels of Anne Radcliffe and others (spoofed in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey). It continued with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula and was an important and dramatic thread in English literature (5 Sep).

Victorian stage melodrama was the popular true-crime horror entertainment of the day, with packed theatres thrilling to wicked squires, village maidens in distress, lovers run mad, honest sailor heroes, curses and hauntings. Gilbert & Sullivan spoofed it all with relish in their 10th Savoy opera Ruddigore, which opened in 1887 (12 Sep).

The silent cinema and then the talkies gleefully inherited Gothic horror and vampire tales from the live stage, recreating iconic images of Frankenstein, Dracula, Nosferatu

Carolyn Soutar

SR September 2017.indd 40

and so on to the Hammer Horror films, before rock music climbed aboard and Goth culture was born. Bram Stoker would have been astonished (19 Sep).

Carolyn Soutar will share her experiences of larger-than-life entertainers and theatre people (26 Sep, 3 and 10 Oct).

A born and bred Londoner with a Scarborian mother, Carolyn returned to her roots in January and loves it.

Trained at Lamda, she has worked in opera, ballet and straight theatre, and on large events and orchestra tours.

She is the author of The Real Nureyev, a biography of Dave Allen, and Staging Events, a Practical Guide.

The talks start at 1pm.

Tickets cost £5 (concessions £4) or £12 (concessions £10) for all three.

Literary Lunch Hour, a series of events featuring the latest books and authors from Scarborough publishing house Valley Press, concludes with Cath Nichols (7 Sep) and Antony Dunn (14 Sep).

They start at 1pm (£5/£4).

Scarborough Actors Society present a new play by Neil Arnott (7, 8 Sep).

Payback is set on the 73rd floor of Europe’s highest tower block.

A project developer has gathered business partners to show them his gratitude. Events take a sinister turn when the lights start to flicker and the power goes off. Before long the guests’ darkest secrets emerge and it becomes a fight for survival.

Directed by Damon Hotchin, it’s due to start at 7.30pm.

Three rehearsed script-in-hand performances will be presented by Springboard Scriptwriters (15 Sep).

Like Clockwork, by Neil Arnott, won the Yorkshire Script Factor competition in York in July. The five finalists were challenged to write to a 15-minute play on the theme of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the world's first ATM by TV sitcom star Reg Varney.

I Don't Want to go to School Today, by Colin Scales, is a fictional story based around the

German fleet launched a surprise attack on England's north-east coast.

Out of the mist, one December morning, the menacing shapes of German battle cruisers emerged close to Scarborough.

At first, locals assumed they were Royal Navy ships, until the gun turrets turned towards the town and opened fire.

After 250 years of relative peace, the castle was once again thrust into the front line, when over 1,000 high-explosive shells were fired during a raid which also bombarded Whitby and Hartlepool, further up the coast.

British public opinion was outraged and the cry of Remember Scarborough was central to the military recruitment campaign that followed.

Ken Elbourne as Winston Churchill Aberfan disaster of 1966.

Mermaids of the North Sea, by Jo Reed Turner, is about the exotic acts and displays which could once be seen in Peasholm Park.

It’s due to start at 6.30pm.

Tickets cost £5.

The Marty Fields Trio is led by awardwinning singer-songwriter Martha Fields (29 Sep).

Born in Texas and living in Bordeaux, Martha will be flanked by Manu Bertrand, “an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist” who has played at the Olympia in Paris and with blues star Eric Bibb, according to promoter Chris Lee; and classically trained Olivier Leclerc, who is passionate about improvised music and diverse musical styles.

They will play track from Martha’s latest album, Southern White Lies. It’s “a gutsy Tim Tubbs (photo by Tony Bartholomew)

Choral society welcomes new members

by Dave Barry Scarborough Choral Society starts a new season of rehearsals on 4 September.

The choir is preparing for four concerts over the next year.

New members are welcome at rehearsals at St Michael’s Church Rooms in Filey Road, near the start of Osgodby bypass, from 7-9pm every Monday.

“Some choral experience would be helpful but there are no auditions and you would be very welcome so come along and give it a go”, invites press officer David Keeton.

Over the years, the choir has sung work by a wide variety of composers ranging from

Bach to the Beatles.

It will perform Bach’s Christmas oratorio at Westborough Methodist Church on 16 December and Gershwin’s Old American Songs, with Scarborough Symphony Orchestra, at Queen Street Methodist Hall on 3 February.

The choir will join forces with St Hilda’s Festival Chorus and Orchestra for two performances of Handel’s Israel in Egypt oratorio. They will be at St Hilda’s Church in Whitby on 2 June and at Queen Street Methodist Hall in Scarborough on 9 June. n Further information can be found on the choir’s website and Facebook page, which are easy to find.

Edwina tops Scalby Comic mayhem in folk weekend bill G&S spoof at YMCA

by Dave Barry

Edwina Hayes headlines a folk weekend in Scalby, from 1-3 September.

Born in Dublin and living in Driffield, the singer-songwriter will be playing tracks from her new album, The Mile Roses.

Edwina’s debut album was co-produced by Clive Gregson and featured Dr Hook singer Dennis Locorriere. Fans include Michael Parkinson.

She’s played support slots for Jools Holland, Nanci Griffith (who covered the title track of her second solo album, Pour Me a Drink), Ricky Ross, Loudon Wainwright III and exByrd Roger McGuinn.

In 2009 her version of Randy Newman's Feels Like Home was used in the movie My Sister's Keeper.

The folk weekend will feature performances by invited guests, informal music sessions and sing-arounds, music workshops and a ceilidh.

It will be based mainly at the Nags Head pub, with accordion, mandolin and violin workshops across the road in the former Temperance Hall.

Entry will be free but there will be collections for the Martin House children’s hospice.

The music will kick off on the Friday with Dirty Windows at 7pm and an open acoustic session at 9pm.

On Saturday’s bill are an open-mic session (noon-4pm), John Hutchinson and the Sultans of Thwing (4-5pm), the Bedlam ceilidh band (6-7.30pm), Rattlin' Sheiks (7-9pm) and an

Snow in September?

By Dave Barry Scarborough Art Society members will be shown how to use oil paints at 7pm on Wednesday 6 September at Queen Street Methodist Hall.

Whitby-born artist Christine Pybus will offer a demonstration entitled Winter Scene in Oils.

Fortunately her audience will be sheltered and comfortably seated because her usual method is to complete all her pictures on location.

Christine’s love of the outdoors has found her painting in Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.

She has been a member of the Fylingdale Group of Artists for 17 years.

SR September 2017.indd 42

Enthusiasts will be able to play catch-up because she has been contracted to publish five articles for Leisure Painter magazine.

Visitors are welcome to join members for £3 admission. Refreshments will be served.

RUDDIGORE, Gilbert & Sullivan’s rarelyperformed spoof of blood-and-thunder stage melodrama, receives a fresh revival in Scarborough this autumn.

Tim Tubbs’ production, with a cast of 18, is set in a North Yorkshire seaside town celebrating its Goth weekend.

Billed as “a most comically Gothic musical melodrama”, the production contains an ancient curse suffered by the local baronets of Ruddigore, whose ancestor burned a witch at the stake.

Comic mayhem ensues, as the local beauty has to choose between a wealthy farmer and a dashing sailor returned to the town, with the encouragement of a hen party who are all agog for a visiting male stage act.

Then there’s a wicked baronet, a faithful retainer, a clairvoyant and a woman run mad from rejected love.

The show is produced by Tim Tubbs’ UK Foundation for Dance, in association with the YMCA-based Rowlies Acadamy of Dance and Bill Scott’s Sandside Players, whose well-received productions of Trial by Jury in 2015 and The Mikado in 2016 established it as Scarborough’s unofficial Gilbert & Sullivan society.

“Tim Tubbs’ production is very funny and inventive”, says musical director Bill Scott.

Something for everyone Exciting year ahead for choir in new SJT season

by Dave Barry

by Dave Barry THERE’S something for everyone at the Stephen Joseph Theatre this autumn and winter.

Shows range from festive family entertainment to political drama, with music and dance.

The season opens with You Have Been Watching (18, 19 Oct). This world premiere from theatre company Dark Horse invites you to be part of a studio audience watching the filming of the latest episode of Bad, the TV sitcom everyone is talking about.

It’s followed by George’s Marvellous Medicine (21-26 Oct), adapted by David Wood from Roald Dahl’s novel. George tries to ‘cure’ his bossy grandma by creating a marvellous medicine, which has the most extraordinary effect.

Marvellous Mozart, presented in association with Music in the Round and its resident musicians Ensemble 360, is a weekend of concerts and workshops (28, 29 Oct).

Ensemble 360 (photo by Kaupo Kikkas) Grammy-nominated vocalist Stacey Kent returns to the SJT with a programme including music from her latest album, I Know I Dream (31 Oct).

Dance company Tavaziva take Izindava to the Round – a new work by choreographer Bawren Tavaziva, exploring human fragility within our changing world (2 Nov).

Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales in The Vaudevillians Lockyer goes on a journey based on his own experiences, from a promising early career with the NT and RSC, through a breakdown and a return to the RSC in 2016 (10, 11 Nov).

For Love or Money, a dark comedy about greed adapted by Blake Morrison from AlainRene Lesage’s Tucaret, will be performed by Northern Broadsides (14-18 Nov). Artistic director Barrie Rutter takes centre-stage in his final acting and directing role with the company.

North Country Theatre will present two terrifying tales under the umbrella title of Nightmares in Norfolk (21 Nov). They are MR James’ Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to You and Charles Dickens’ The Signalman; one played tongue in cheek, the other straight down the line (21 Nov).

Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, a classic of 20th century literature, will be performed

by Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatres (2225 Nov).

Classical Meets Jazz is a high-energy afternoon concert of music from world-class pianists Eyran Katsenelenbogen and Tal Zilber (26 Nov).

More music comes from Buddy Holly and the Cricketers (20 Dec) and the Hammonds Saltaire Band (6, 7 Jan).

The season wouldn’t be complete without two festive productions from the SJT team. A (Scarborough) Christmas Carol (7-31 Dec) reunites the team that last year produced the hit production of Pinocchio – writer Nick Lane, director Paul Robinson and composer Simon Slater.

For the smallest members of the family, The Adventures of Aluki & Nanuk (13-23 Dec), a seasonal Tiny Times Tales, will tell the story of a little girl and her polar bear. n For more information and ticket prices: www.sjt.uk.com.

Stacey Kent Sixth Sense is a new show from mind-reader, hypnosis and telepathy expert Luke Jermay, whose fans include Derren Brown, Dynamo and Uri Geller (3 Nov).

Pip Utton, an Edinburgh Fringe legend known for spellbinding portrayals of Churchill, Dickens, Casanova and Chaplin, portrays Margaret Thatcher in Playing Maggie (7 Nov).

The Vaudevillians, a bawdy, rowdy musical comedy, will be performed by RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon, accompanied by composer and musician Major Scales (8 Nov).

Living With the Lights On is a high-energy, life-affirming, funny and touching look at living with bi-polar disorder. Actor Mark

An eclectic range of music will be sung by Scarborough Community Choir in its 2017/18 season.

The large choir will learn a Bee Gees medley, the Fora Dance, a song from the musical Carmen Jones and Walking in the Air. The ensemble has several concerts and appearances lined up for its Christmas season.

Tim Tubbs’ forthcoming production of Ruddigore at the YMCA will involve choir members and musical director Bill Scott’s Sandside Players (see page 42).

The choir’s annual collaborations with the Sandside Orchestra and Players are proving popular. They have featured composers as diverse as Gilbert and Sullivan, Gershwin and Rachmaninov. This year’s raised 1,000 for the Rainbow Centre.

Next year’s, at Westborough Methodist Church on 10 March, will feature a new

version of a piece performed in the 1970s in Scarborough. Rock On Henry is a lively comic musical loosely based on the life of Henry VIII. It was performed at Scarborough College, Graham School and the Stephen Joseph Theatre.

The programme includes the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto, with soloist Frank James.

Bill says: “I am so excited with the choir’s forthcoming programmes. We seem to be up for more challenges and different musical experiences each year. I’m looking forward to rehearsals starting on 13 September”.

The choir rehearses at South Cliff Methodist Church at 7.30pm every Wednesday.

New members are welcome.

The choir is proud of its no-audition, allinclusive policy.

Meditation can improve quality of life

by Dave Barry A FREE talk on meditation is to be given at the Friends Meeting House near Scarborough Hospital on Wednesday 6 September, at 7pm.

Simple meditations from the Kadampa Buddhist tradition can help to improve the quality of people’s lives, even if they aren’t Buddhist, says teacher Mike Hume.

The talk will be followed at weekly intervals by classes on learning to meditate (6 Sep-4 Oct), freedom from painful emotions (18

Oct-15 Nov) and meditation for busy people (22 Nov-13 Dec).

The classes are ideal for beginners, Mike says. They cost £6 each or £20 for four.

Each one consists of guided meditations, a teaching, a Q&A and refreshments.

They are being organised by the Madhyamaka Kadampa meditation centre at Pocklington.

The Friends Meeting House is in Quaker Close, off Woodlands Drive. The postcode is YO12 5QZ.

Ayckbourn and SJT 60 years on Photo by Andrew Higgins, words by Dave Barry THE Stephen Joseph Theatre is celebrating 60 years of association with one of the greats of world theatre, Alan Ayckbourn.

A Brief History of Plays, hosted by the playwright, will feature extracts from a selection of his 81 plays, ranging from one of his unpublished earliest, Love After All, written in 1959, to 2015’s Roundelay.

They will be performed by some of the many actors he has worked with over the years: Bill Champion, Liza Goddard and Robin Herford (10 Sep), Matthew Cottle and Janie Dee (17 Sep) and Christopher Godwin and Heather Stoney (both dates).

They will be joined by current company members Russell Dixon, Antony Eden, Jessica Johnson, Sean McKenzie, Frances Marshall, Laura Matthews, Laurence Pears, Louise Shuttleworth, Gurjeet Singh, Leigh Symonds and Amy Trigg.

Alan will talk about his time at the SJT from 1957-87 (10 Sep) and 1987-2017 (17 Sep).

He says: “I'm greatly looking forward to reuniting with some old friends, performers, playgoers and plays!”

The two shows are fundraisers which will

contribute to the SJT’s ongoing programme of developing new work.

Seats cost £35 (£65 for both) or £75 (£140) with programmes, prosecco and post-show receptions.

Stars of the future honour Sidebottom Words by Dave Barry, picture by Allan McKenzie YORKSHIRE'S Ryan Sidebottom was given a fitting send-off by children from local schools after his last appearance for his side at Scarborough.

Welcome to Yorkshire invited competitors in the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation’s junior beach cricket tournament to meet Ryan at Scarborough Cricket Club.

The 39-year-old was making his final appearance in Britain’s most popular cricket festival as he prepared to call time on an illustrious career which has spanned three decades and seen him break records for both club and country.

The swing bowler played a pivotal role in England winning the T20 world cup in 2010 and is the only player in recent history to win five county championships.

The 131st Yorkshire cricket festival coincided with the start of Ryan’s twomonth testimonial in August and September, awarded by Yorkshire Cricket Club to mark his outstanding contribution.

Unfortunately the children couldn’t cheer Yorkshire to victory as Essex won the encounter by eight wickets.

Sidebottom said: “Obviously the result didn’t go as we’d have wanted but this was a really nice gesture.

“I have so many happy memories of playing [in Scarborough] and the reception I got at my final appearance was really special”.

Peter Dodd of Welcome to Yorkshire said: “Ryan is a Yorkshire cricketing legend so we felt it only fitting do something to mark his final appearance at this historic event. He has given us many memorable performances over the last 20 years and been a terrific ambassador for the county.

“These children have all been inspired by him and initiatives like the beach tournament give them the perfect platform to follow in his footsteps”.

The tournament saw junior teams from across the county descending on the southbay beach each morning to compete in a round-robin event before watching the pros in the afternoon.

Good times for basketball club

Words and photos by Dave Barry

A BASKETBALL club is going from strength to strength.

Scarborough Seahawks have been based at Pindar Leisure Centre in Eastfield for over 15 years.

The club evolved from two others: Ryedale Rockets in the 90s and Raincliffe School Basketball Club in the 80s.

It runs a scrimmage session from 6-7.30pm every Sunday for over 16s who have some experience of playing before. It costs £5. It is a mixed session and new players are welcome.

A Junior Hawks session runs from 6-7.30pm on Fridays during school terms. It is for children aged 6-16 who are interested in learning how to play basketball. It costs £3.

The Seahawks are going to enter a senior men's team into the Humber basketball league this season and want to recruit new players.

Squad training usually takes place at the Sixth Form College on Thursdays from 7.15-8.45pm during term time. n For further information contact the club via its website, www. scarboroughseahawks.co.uk or via Twitter (@ScarbSeahawks) or Facebook (scarboroughseahawks).

Yorkshire thrashed inside two days

By Steve Adamson YORKSHIRE suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of County Championship leaders Essex at North Marine Road, Scarborough.

The scheduled 4-day game was over in less than two days as a crowd in excess of 6,000 saw 18 wickets fall on day one on 6 August.

Batting first, Yorkshire (who had Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance away on England duty), crashed to 74-9 before lunch, and only a last wicket stand of 39 between Adam Lyth and Ryan Sidebottom took them past 100. Essex fast bowler Mohammad

Amir did most of the damage, with a five wicket haul in each innings.

More than 5,000 saw day two, but again Yorkshire's batting was woeful, and Essex were left with a target of just 33 runs in their second innings, as they wrapped up a convincing 8 wicket win to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table, while Yorkshire were 5th in the table, and dangerously close to the relegation places in the eight team first division.

MATCH SUMMARY YORKSHIRE 113 (35.2 overs) Adam Kyth 68, Adil Rashid 12, Mohammad Amir 5-18, Jamie Porter 3-44 and 150 (49.4 overs) Jack Leaning 70, Ben Coad 28, Mohammad Amir 5-54, Jamie Porter 4-41, ESSEX 231 (69 overs) Ryan ten Doeschate 88, Adam Wheater 34, Ben Coad 3-36, Jack Brooks 3-89 and 34-2 (10 overs) Varun Chopra 13, Nick Browne 13

Raffles are a big boost to charities Words and photo by Dave Barry

£505 for Saint Catherines with their annual Yorkshire Day raffle.

The usual array of prizes, including spa vouchers and second-hand CDs, was boosted by a hand-made cancer support blanket made and donated by Sharon Hall, a member of the team.

It was won by Paul Richardson, aka Lofty. He donated the blanket back to the hospice, who will use it for the comfort of patients or re-raffle it to raise further funds.

Hospice volunteer Jenny Hay, who accepted a cheque from the Ashton Babes at the pub, said: “They've done exceptionally well and raised an absolutely fantastic sum”.

Team boss Jean Ashton added: “Thank you L-R, front: Lynn Wood, Jenny Hay, Jean Ashton to all who supported us, buying tickets and and Sandra Dalby. Back: Sharon Hall, Maria Hatton joining us on the evening”.

RAFFLES are so common and regarded as a money-draining pain by many.

But they provide a huge source of revenue to countless grateful charities.

Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor, touches base with ex SA striker, Benny Igiehon. @iamradioant Photos by Morgan Exley IN this months column, I get to touch base with Ex-Scarborough Athletic striker Benny Igiehon. Since leaving the East Coast club he is now plying his trade for Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division of the League of Ireland in the province of Connach on the west coast. Benny became a fans favourite with his larger than life personality on and off the field. While at Scarborough he helped the Seadogs to secure a play-off place in the Evo-stik North, missing out on promotion after losing out in the playoff Semi-final against rivals Ossett Town.

What is the football like in the Irish premier division? "It's really good playing in this league, there are a lot of great teams, some of which I have heard of before and some I haven't. All the teams I have had the chance to play against so far have been really good."

What do you miss about playing for Scarborough Athletic? "I miss the songs, the fans had some very cool songs they sang for me when I scored or was playing well, it made me feel like their star."

Who was the biggest influence for you at BORO. "I had a few great people who where influential, Chris Bolder, Adam Bolder, Morgs, Mezza, Jammer and the Gaffa. Jamie Price was perhaps the most influential because he knew how to speak to me and helped me to work better and get the best out of me. I also had some great memories of the chairman David Holland, he was always there to shake our hands after every game and greet us before every game. This made me feel welcome every time and it influenced my mentality about the club."

If any young Seadogs are reading this what advice would you give them to help aid their football? "Try your best at all times, always look to improve YOU, never settle for average and give your all for the team. Oh, and also play to your strengths."

Not only in the summer you have become a pro-footballer you have also graduated from university how are you now feeling about that and what in store for Benny in the future? "Feeling really blessed, I'm grateful to God and my family for the strength and support to help me get through that. It wasn't easy but has been worth it. The future is great, I will improve my qualities on the pitch and progress. I will also keep improving my presenting and producing skills with the aim of having "The Benny chill show" as a regular on YouTube and hopefully television."

Moving to a new club must be nerve wracking, let alone a team in another country. How have Sligo welcomed you?

Do they have initiations like singing or anything more devious like the old "Crazy gang" days at Wimbledon? "Moving abroad was a great opportunity, I will get a taste of a different culture and get to play football while learning and improving. Sligo has been class!

The manager, players and staff have been brilliant to me. “I had to sing as a new comer. I wasn't to great at it so they made me do it twice."

You scored your first goal for the "bit o' red", I've seen it online and it's a cracker, what was going though your head when you struck that ball? "Thank you, I tried to wrap my foot around the ball as much as possible. I was praying for the shot to go in directly or someone to help it in, when I struck it I knew I made good contact so was just hoping it keeps curving in."

Benny, before I go is there any message you'd like to give for the Scarborough Athletic fans? "Thank You Scarborough and the seadogs! I loved being your striker and loved the challenges we overcame together, wishing you more and more success in the new ground (which looks amazing). "Uptheboro" For all those wanting to know what song Benny sang twice, it was Kayne West's "Flashing Light."

IMPROVED PERFORMANCES LIFT SCARBOROUGH AWAY FROM RELEGATION ZONE

By Steve Adamson SCARBOROUGH Cricket Club have turned in some much improved performances in recent matches, to ensure they didn't get dragged into the relegation zone in Yorkshire Premier League North. Draws at home to Woodhouse Grange on 29 July and away to high flying Harrogate on 5 August were followed by a 6 wicket loss at home to title challengers York on 12 August. Next came successive wins against the bottom two teams in the league, a crushing 10 wicket trouncing of whipping boys Easingwold on 19 August, and then a highly impressive 6 wicket victory away to Hull on 26 August. There were two century stands for Scarborough in these games, Darren Harland and Alex Carrie put on 127 for the 2nd wicket against Harrogate, and there was an opening stand of 106 between Neil Elvidge and Joe Padmore against Hull.

Walking football is good for your health Words and photo by Dave Barry A GROUP of old boys who play walking football at Scarborough Rugby Club is looking for new members.

The group comprises men who largely attend for medical reasons.

Some suffer from Parkinson’s, diabetes or PTSD, or are recovering from a heart attack.

They use the exercise as part of their rehabilitation. Some are there to lose weight or just to have fun.

Organiser Jim Mitchell reckons fun is an integral part of the exercise.

He says: “Increasing your circle of friends is an important aspect for men who are getting on in years”.

The game comes to an immediate halt if anyone falls or has a sudden bout of illness.

Some of the Scarborough players (to order photos ring 353597) The group supports the injured member.

Similarly, when the final whistle blows, everyone shakes hands. It’s a vital aspect of the group’s social responsibility. n For further information, ring Jim Mitchell on 362922 or Paul White on 357740.

Scarborough Review

From the touchline SCARBOROUGH Rugby Club has been abuzz with activity this month ahead of the big kick-off on Saturday. Skipper Matty Jones and Coach Simon Smith have returned for assignments overseas in Malta and Chicago respectively and preparation is at an advanced stage.

Although star man Isaac Faamau has returned to his native New Zealand, the powers that be at Silver Royd have been busy recruiting and hooker Sam Dawson half-brother of the Seasiders flying wingman Harry Domett has joined the club from Wellington, former junior Rob Smith has moved back to Scarborough from Beverley and Ali Sutton who is based in Scarborough has moved from Yorkshire One Champions Bridlington to Silver Royd. The new club Youth Development Officer Aussie Jim Perrett will play at fullback.

The Seasiders have played a couple of ‘friendly’ pre-season fixtures; they went down 17-19 to Driffield who play in the league above them (NORTH ONE EAST) on the 11th of August. This was followed by a game at Silver Royd a week later against Hemel Hemstead RUFC and a big Silver Royd turnout saw Scarborough run in seven tries in an entertaining game.

MAN OF THE MATCH SAM DAWSON DRIVES TO THE LINE A cracking first half saw the Seasiders race to an early 12-0 lead thanks to tries from hooker Sam Dawson and wing Harry Domett, one converted by fly-half Tom Harrison before a penalty try for the visitors reduced the arrears to five points at 12-7. Tries from centre Tom Ratcliffe and second row Matty Oxtoby, both converted by Harrison saw Scarborough lead 26-7 at the break.

The home side were quickest out of the blocks in the second forty minutes when Dawson touched down for his second try and completed his hat-trick with a try converted

by Harrison for 38-7. New YDO Jim Perrett completed an emphatic 43-7 home win with a spectacular try in the closing minutes. Sam Dawson with a hat-trick of tries on debut was named man of the match.

The league season opens on Saturday with the visit of Keighley to Silver Royd; the Seasiders won a hard fought game 27-15

BY DAVE CAMPBELL

with the west Yorkshiremen early this year, so another spirited encounter is expected.

The remaining Yorkshire One fixtures for September are: 09-09-2017 Wheatley Hills AWAY 16-09-2017 Selby HOME 23-09-2017 York AWAY 30-09-2017 Bradford Salem HOME It should be a busy day on Saturday with the club’s other senior sides, the Vikings and the Danesmen also at home against Keighley and York respectively.

ZOE ALDCROFT IN SIX NATIONS ACTION AGAINST FRANCE There has been a huge deal of interest in the Womans Rugby World Cup (WRWC) which was held in Ireland in August. A big reason, apart from the anticipation of a thrilling tournament) has been the inclusion in the England squad of Zoe Aldcroft a former Scarborough schoolgirl who started her rugby career at Scarborough RUFC. As the Silver Royd club didn’t have a girls side at the time Zoe moved on Malton, West Park Leeds and Hartpury College to achieve her ambitions with England where she won a European Sevens Championship winners medal and has played at under 20 and full senior level for the white roses.

THE SRUFC GIRLS BEFORE THEY DEPARTED FOR NORTHERN IRELAND The club now runs girls rugby at age levels between 11-17 and Zoe is a real role model for the budding roses. Consequently a group of young ladies, their coaches and some parents travelled to Belfast last Friday to play a couple of games and see the final between England and New Zealand.

The girls would have been disappointed with the result as England went down 32-41 but I have no doubt they saw perhaps the best game of womans’ rugby every played!

So another busy and hopefully rewarding season awaits with rugby being played at Silver Royd by boys, girls, men and woman of ages from 7 to 70 and you can read all about it here in the Scarborough Review.

Sportive road ride From the Sidelines A review of the local soccer scene.... attracts 150 entrants

BY STE VE ADAMSON

Pikes cruch rep team

Four days after giving Scarborough Athletic a tough test, the District League rep team faced NCEL side Pickering Town at Silver Royd, and went down to a 4-0 defeat. Lining up for the League XI were- Chris Ferrey, Niall Gibb, Kurtis Henderson, Harry Holden, Lloyd Henderson, Sam Garnett, Dean Craig, Gary Thomas, Jamie Bradshaw, Drew McCoubrey, Curtis Rose, subs- Joe Gallagher, Kieran Link, Sean Exley, Ricky Tomlinson, James Jenkinson The Sportive d’Scarborough started and finished on Oliver’s Mount (to order photos ring 353597)

Words and photos by Dave Barry ABOUT 150 cyclists of all ages gathered on Oliver's Mount for the annual Sportive d’Scarborough road ride.

The gruelling course, with many steep hills, had 30- and 60-mile options.

The route went south, across Cayton Cars to Hunmanby and Reighton.

In Burton Fleming, riders could either return via Fordon or take the extra 30-mile loop via Thwing, Foxholes, Weaverthorpe, Langtoft, Kilham and Rudston.

Refreshments were served at Burton Fleming village hall.

Back at Oliver's Mount, riders had their aching legs massaged by Gavin Oliver and his team.

The ride was organised by Bryden Simpson and Chris Goode of Richardsons Cycle Club as its contribution to Scarborough cycling festival.

It was started by the mayor, Cllr Martin Smith, and supported by HPE printers of Pickering,

Blue Keld of Driffield and Cooplands.

“The rider feedback has been brilliant”, said Bryden.

Lee Walton said the sportive was “excellent”, adding: “The route was great, well marked and just generally good fun. And the feed stop was simply amazing, the best one I've visited on any sportive I have attended”.

Bruce Bee said: “It was a great ride and thanks should go to all those who helped make it such an enjoyable experience. The food stops were some of the best on any ride we've done. You certainly achieved the goal of being one of the friendliest and most affordable sportives".

Sarah Knight said the event was “really well organised with clear signage and a wellstocked food station. But less hills next time please!”

In addition to the sportive ride, the cycling festival featured closed circuit road and cyclo cross racing for adults and children. n www.scarboroughcyclingfestival.uk.
