Scarborough boy back on track after suffering from rare genetic disorder

Oliver Parnaby gets set to start the train at North Bay Railway

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

A SCARBOROUGH youngster who suffers from a rare genetic disorder is on track for a bright future thanks to friends and family and North Bay Railway.

Oliver Parnaby, five years old, from the Seamer Road area of town was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 when he was just 18 months old.

But after mum Danni Parnaby contacted Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence to highlight his condition, Pete helped Oliver and family have a smile on their faces with a special train trip thanks

to North Bay Railway.

Danni said: “Oliver and the family have been through a lot so it was a lovely thing to do and we are very thankful. The railway gave us a special pass for the season so we can go whenever we want.

Oliver absolutely loves trains.”

Oliver was born in June 2010 with a straightforward water birth but when he was around six months old parents Danni and Chris noticed spots which were increasing in number so he was taken to the doctors.

Danni said: “We were referred to a genetic consultant in Leeds and that was when we discovered what was wrong after tests were carried out. It is a condition where most people who have it can live with few problems, but Oliver developed autistic tendencies too and has had problems with his spine which need operating on.

“On June 21 this year we set off to Leeds General Infirmary ready for his operation and nothing could have prepared us for that day.

“Thankfully everything went to plan. Oliver spent four days on the HDU, and then two days on the children’s ward following his surgery, before being sent home in a back brace. He has a followup appointment with his surgeon on July 31 but everything seems to be going well and Oliver is coping and recovering fantastically.”

For more on Oliver’s special train trip and his condition see page 6.

Summer judging for Air cadets flying high Newby & Scalby in Bloom at award ceremony

Members of Newby & Scalby in Bloom and Yorkshire in Bloom judges get ready for a tour of the villages

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

NEWBY & Scalby in Bloom were feeling confident ahead of the summer judging of the Yorkshire in Bloom competition.

Two female judges, one from Hutton Cranswick, and the other from Leeds, visited the group before taking a tour around the villages to see the work they had done over the past few months.

The group would love to match a previous Silver Gilt award they clinched, but will also be keeping their fingers crossed that they could win the main Gold award for the whole of Yorkshire.

Newby & Scalby in Bloom chairman Peter Staveley said: “This is an exciting time of the year as we are judged on the terrific work we do. It is nice to receive some

The new bee and butterfly garden in Scalby village recognition because all the volunteers work so hard to make our villages look the best they can.”

Newby & Scalby in Bloom have also created a new bee and butterfly garden at Church Becks in Scalby.

Kev Riley, from the group, who has been heavily involved with creating the new garden, said: “It is a lovely little spot in the village and we felt it needed something.

“Bees in particular are decreasing in numbers in the UK and there are a lot of these kinds of gardens being created to try and stop that. It is in its infancy but we will be planting more and growing it in the future.”

The group had been fundraising for this project with their annual plant sale and the bumper raffle.

Old school findings surprise for Scarborough couple

see.“It brought back some memories for me because when we were at Barrowcliff school we did sport at Oliver’s Mount and used to walk past Queen Margaret’s as a short-cut. I just remember it being this derelict and burnt-out slightly eerie building, which I knew had been bombed in the Second World War.” The school was destroyed when a German parachute mine landed on the gym on March 18, 1941.

Queen Margaret’s was established in Scarborough in 1901 by the Woodard Foundation, an organisation committed to the establishment of boarding schools where teaching would be firmly based on the Christian religion.

Following evacuation to Pitlochry during the First World War, and then to Castle Howard during the Second, the school finally moved to Escrick Park, six miles south of York, in 1949, where it still is to this day.

A SCARBOROUGH couple were set to be part of a historical discovery recently after Northern Gas Networks turned up to do some work at the back of their home.

Geoffrey, 66, and Brenda Evans, 65, who live in Queen Margaret’s Court in the South Cliff area, were intrigued to see parts of an old Scarborough School come to light as work on the gas works at their home were carried out.

Geoffrey explained: “I was just being a bit nosey and having a look at what the workers were doing and they soon came across some old parts of a building. Having grown up in Scarborough I knew that this was the site of Queen Margaret’s school which was destroyed during the Second World War. “The workers managed to retrieve some parts of what seems to be a bathroom or wash room area and it was fascinating to

Mountain trek task for long-time hospice worker Ann A NURSE who has worked at Saint Catherine’s Hospice for almost all of its 30 years will be spending her summer break on top of the world to help the hospice.

Ann Harper, Director of Clinical Care Services, is heading for Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, hoping to scale all 5,895m (19,341ft) on a charity trek to boost hospice funds.

Ann is no stranger to heady heights. She climbed to the Everest base camp in Nepal in 2013 and also trekked to Machu Picchu in Peru in 2006.

Her latest adventure will be her toughest yet when she hopes to climb higher than she has ever been.

She is taking on the challenge knowing from previous experience that altitude sickness could make it a tougher still.

“The altitude can make you feel really poorly but I’m going prepared for that,” she said.

“Altitude sickness can be your biggest challenge – it certainly isn’t always the fittest people who make it to the top.”

Ann has worked at Saint Catherine’s for 28 years and is hoping her challenge will give a summertime boost to the hospice as it celebrates 30 years of care.

Ann has covered all her own costs so any sponsorship will go directly to help patients and their families. She sets off for Tanzania later this month and can be sponsored via her page at http://www.justgiving.com/Ann-Harper4

Words and main photo by Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry

A CHRISTMAS card painted by a Scarborough artist will raise funds for the RNLI. Entitled Home for Christmas, the striking gouache snow-scene depicts Scarborough’s all-weather lifeboat moored in the harbour.

Professional artist Marilyn Spence was required to exercise artistic licence as the lifeboat isn’t usually tied up against the

Vincent pier.

She was commissioned by the RNLI after a similar image, depicting Whitby lifeboat, became the charity’s second best-selling Christmas card in the country last year.

Marilyn, of Northstead, attended Central School then studied at Scarborough Art School, based at what is now the Yorkshire Coast College.

The Christmas card is on sale at the temporary lifeboat shop, next to where the new lifeboathouse is being built. A pack of 10 cards costs £3.95. www.marilynspenceartist.co.uk

‘Cold water Kills’ film reveals deadly dangers of swimming in North Yorkshire reservoirs

By Krystal Starkey

YORKSHIRE Water and West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue service have created a film to warn people of the dangers of swimming in reservoirs following a series of tragic events over the past 5 years.

With water temperatures as low as 12ºC, depths of up to 50m and undercurrents lurking beneath the surface, the Cold Water Kills film highlights that even a short swim could end in tragic consequences.

The film is aimed at young people who are most likely to be tempted to swim in reservoirs during the school summer holidays. It was filmed at Ogden reservoir in Halifax and features a hard hitting recreation of a reservoir emergency rescue that ends in tragedy.

In the last five years, Yorkshire and Humberside’s four Fire & Rescue Services (WYFRS) have been called out

to around 346 water rescue incidents - 20 of which resulted in deaths.

Alastair Harvey, Recreation Advisor at Yorkshire Water, said: “Reservoirs may look tempting to take a swim in but they can be killers and our dramatic film will hopefully raise awareness of these risks amongst young people.”

Station Manager Ian Thompson, a Technical Rescue Officer for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, said: “Too often in the past people have been drawn to the cooling waters on a hot day, only to find that they are simply not capable of functioning in the low temperatures encountered in the deeper water.

Across the UK, there was a total of 381 drownings and water-related deaths in 2013 with over half occurring in inland waters, such as reservoirs, lakes and rivers.

To view the hard hitting film visit https://www. yorkshirewater.com/byelaws. It can also be shared on social media amongst friends and family using #ColdWaterKills.

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

A YEAR of fundraising and many years of ministry in Scarborough came to an end when two Methodist ministers moved on.

The Rev Mark Haynes and the Rev Clare Stainsby held a joint farewell service.

Mark has been Minister at Westborough Methodist Church for 18 years. Clare, Minister at Northstead,

Wreyfield Drive and Scalby Methodist Churches, is also moving on after 13 years.

A highlight of their joint farewell at Queen Street Central Hall was the presentation of big cheques to two charities – Saint Catherine’s Hospice and Christian Aid. The money had been collected during a year of charity fundraising by churches all along the coast.

One of the biggest fundraisers was a skydive by Mark's his wife, Ros, who raised £1,910 for the hospice.

Money raised through other events, including a Singing Vicars concert and a flower festival, was divided between the two charities.

The final total was revealed during the farewell service when Mark presented £7,079 to the hospice and £10,663 to Christian Aid. A funding scheme from the EU will multiply the amount raised by Christian Aid to bring the total donated to specific projects to almost £50,000.

The money raised was boosted further by the collection from the service.

Carolyn Jackson, Fundraising Manager for Saint Catherine’s, thanked everyone involved.

Mark is now moving to Kirkbymoorside with his wife, Ros, who also did an abseil from Ripon Cathedral for Christian Aid as part of the fundraising effort. He is starting a new career with North Yorkshire County Council. Clare is moving to a new circuit in Salford.

Dear Editor Dear Editor

I WOULD like to thank you for publicising our recent Save Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind campaign and say a huge thank you to your readers for their support and donations which helped save us from closure.

Our independent charity, which has existed on the Yorkshire Coast for more than 50 years, helps people with a wide range of mental health problems.

Back in April we were faced with the heart-wrenching possibility of closing our charity after a £20,000 shortfall left us unable to continue operating into the next financial quarter.

But thanks to your publication helping to get our message out to your readers, we received in excess of £25,000 with just hours to spare before a deadline of the end of May. Sadly, mental health charities receive very little support from the public when it comes to donations or people wanting to fundraise for us, despite mental ill-health affecting one in four of us.

However, more than ever, people are turning to us as they face problems such as unemployment, debt, housing or relationships which can all have a devastating impact on their mental

health.

We have to raise our own money to support people in the local community and we do not receive money from charity shops or national Mind who we are only affiliated to in name.

Our 17 staff and army of 60 volunteers support some of the most vulnerable people in your community.

We can help people via our Side by Side one to one support service, support groups in Whitby and Scarborough, and our daytime telephone helpline, as well as giving assistance with finance, debt, housing and volunteer opportunities.

We would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in helping to form a fundraising committee to help bring in funds on a regular basis and we are also eager to hear from people interested in becoming a member of our board of trustees.

Once again, thank you to everyone who supported our appeal. For more details please call me on (01723) 588088 or log on to our website: www.swrmind.org.uk Yours sincerely Sophie Hall Head of Services for Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind

WE would like to say what a great weekend with great weather, great crowd, great atmosphere, great bands, great straw bears, great sound and lighting, great support and a great team we had for Staxtonbury 2015.

We, as organisers, could not have wished for things to go so well thanks to everybody who supported the event – it was brilliant!

To see hundreds of people dancing to The Kinks up on stage in a field at Staxton on a sunny afternoon. Left a lump in our throats, and for legends such as these guys to say they thought it was brilliant was a big pat on the back for all you people who contributed to make the whole event so colourful and and vibrant.

Roll on 2016 when are going to have a challenge to top this year, but we will certainly be giving it a good go.

Ray and Mark and the Staxtonbury Team

Dear Editor

SCARBOROUGH Studio Group would like to thank everybody who came to support the Magnitude exhibition at the Old Parcels Office, Scarborough Station.

They would also like to thank the contributing artists for taking part and their help in the running of the exhibition.

Magnitude has been a huge success, showing work of a size not normally seen in this area, by local artists who exhibit nationally and in many cases internationally.

The exhibition has created enthusiasm and ideas for using the Old Parcels Office as an Artspace for a variety of exciting and contemporary arts events.

Scarborough Studio Group, who have restored the building from it’s at risk state to the stunning building as it now stands, are looking towards the future. Having completed stage one of the project the building can be used for exhibitions and events and Scarborough Studios are currently in discussions

Scarborough and on the Sunday had the experience of playing on the bandstand in Peasholm Park.

Both bands are very grateful to Pete Spence of The Scarborough Review for all the help given in making the concert a success.

Again our thanks.

The next stage is to make further improvements to the building to increase the potential for use such as heating and toilets once funds are secured, meanwhile it is intended that artists are able to take advantage and make use of it as it stands.

Magnitude has been an opportunity for artists to show large scale works in a fantastic setting, and has proved that there is a place for this in the Scarborough area.

A Postcard from Scarborough

by Terry White

BILLOWED clouds of contorted shapes drift slowly across the blue patchwork sky. The lasting remains of a once proud castle stand high and forlorn above the open bay in a stony finger of defiance. Ancient walls weave around the cliffs edge like a twisting stone serpent. While below the cluttered trees and stagnant vegetation, huge boulders lay strewn among the untamed grass as though cast by giant hands. Beyond the Lush green plateau zig zagging paths snake forever downward to the winding driveway, linking the two contrasting bays. Along the footpath of the upper parade people sit on wooden benches staring dreaminly at the languid coast line. Fishing and sailing craft pass each

other in a slow perpetual motion, leaving behind white wisps of foam in the dark green sea. From on high the long wide beach, like a moving Lowry tapestry, thronged in a multitude of shapes and figures. In the distance the babbling estuary and pebbled rocks of Scalby Beck is concealed behind the modern domineering white tent shaped buildings. A kaleidoscope of sights coupled with the demure and quaintness of this tranquil scene, vies in contest wildly with its lively brash sister the South Bay. Though combined, they capture the very essence of a vibrant and relaxed Scarborough on a serene and bustling summers day.

Duke of Edinburgh pupils march triumphantly Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

DESPITE cloudy conditions and threatening rain, the enthusiastic Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award group from George Pindar School, Eastfield, set off from Crosscliffe in Troutsdale on the first day of their Assessment Expedition.

The first eight miles took in Saltersgate and the Hole of Horcum, then a stop was made at Levisham for lunch. The delicious ice cream at Levisham Station went down a treat, as did watching the steam trains.

The rain managed to hold off for the final climb to Newton on Rawcliffe with

the camp site only a mile away. Evening activities included the rope swing in the forest and ‘finding Bradley’, who had settled into his own eco shelter.

The final six miles were quickly walked on Sunday, the last day of the adventue.

Teacher Mrs Abbey said: “This was the final George Pindar School expedition of the year and my admiration goes out to Nathan Beanland, Callum Lumsden, Bradley England, Sam McNeill, Courtney Caglar, Ellie Slight, Ebony Garbutt and Chloe Marshall. They were great company and a credit to D of E and themselves.”

Celebrating completing their expedition

Did aviator Amy Johnson pay a flying visit to Scarborough?

Josh Kermode (left) and Jack Siddons in Greensmith and Thackwray; the photo which possibly shows Amy Johnson on St Nicholas Street in Scarborough SCARBOROUGH coffee shop owner, Jack Siddons, is appealing for information on a photograph taken near his premises which appears to feature legendary Hull aviator Amy Johnson.

Jack Siddons, who co-owns Greensmith and Thackwray on St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, with Josh Kermode, is assembling a collection of vintage

photographs of the former ‘Indian and Colonial Outfitters’ which he plans to display in the coffee shop.

The picture in question shows a woman who appears to be wearing a flying helmet in the centre of crowds near Greensmith and Thackwray presumably pre-World War Two. It was given to him by regular customer Janet Hastie, a descendant of

the Lobb family, who owned the original shop.

Jack says: “Janet told us that she believes the woman is Amy Johnson, and judging by other pictures we’ve found online, it certainly looks like her.

“But we can find no reference to her ever visiting Scarborough, although it looks as though she really drew the crowds! We’d love to know for certain if it is her and, if so, when and why she was here.”

Hull-born Amy Johnson (1903-1941) was a pioneering English aviator who set many long-distance records during the 1930s. Her death has been the subject of much speculation, but the most likely explanation is that she bailed out as her aircraft crashed into the Thames Estuary.

Her body was never recovered. n Anyone who has any information on the Amy Johnson picture can email greensmiththack@outlook.com

All the fun of the summer fete

Words and photos by Dave Barry

THERE was fun aplenty when a day-care centre threw open its doors for a summer fete.

Opened by local councillor Johnathan Dodd, the annual event at Eastfield House on Eastway, Eastfield, featured games, stalls, a tombola, a bouncy castle, face painting, a barbecue and a raffle.

Head of Care Melanie Padgham said everyone had been looking forward to the event.

“The summer fete is always one of the highlights of our year, when we get the chance to welcome people from all over

Eastfield and beyond for some good oldfashioned community fun,” Melanie said.

Day care sessions at Eastfield House offer an opportunity for visitors to meet friends, try out therapeutic activities, enjoy homecooked, nutritious food and refreshments and all the comforts of home.

Visitors can relax and watch TV or a film, play a game, join in organised activities or take part in hobbies and crafts. n Ring 502410 for more information.

Pictured at Sunday’s fundraiser are organisers, left to right, Karen Scotter, Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding.

ORGANISERS raised around £2,000 for Saint Catherine’s Hospice by holding an event at Scarborough’s Ship Inn on Falsgrave.

The family friendly event was held in memory of a young cancer victim and featured an auction of boxing memorabilia, a bouncy castle, a BBQ and lots of kids activities.

Dawn Scotter was only 43 when she died from breast cancer but her friends have been fundraising ever since to support Saint Catherine’s Hospice.

The event kicked off again in the evening with an auction including boxing memorabilia, some donated

by Dawn Scotter’s cousin, Paul Ingle, who gave items including an autographed sports vest. A boxing glove signed by Olympic gold medallist Joe Frazier was also up for grabs.

The event was organised by Dawn’s sister, Karen, and friends Sian Johnson and Lorraine Harding. They all work together at Sunny’s Café.

They have been fundraising for the hospice over the four years since Dawn died. She had support from the Macmillan team employed by the hospice.

Sian said the event had been packed.

“We’re so pleased and just want to thank everyone who came along to support us,” she said.

MARINE DRIVE TooK 11 YEARS To BUILD

BY DAVe BARRY

THE construction of Marine Drive was the biggest and boldest engineering project ever undertaken in Scarborough.

It took hundreds of men nearly 11 years to build, linking the two bays.

Until then, the castle headland was just a rocky, eroding promontory. Sandside was an untidy jumble of yards and warehouses clustered around the harbour, and Royal Albert Drive finished abruptly near Hairy Bob’s Cave.

Many influential voices opposed the perceived extravagance, maintaining that a tunnel through the headland would be the best way to join the two sides of the town.

In the 1880s, after years of discussion of the validity of such a grand scheme, a consultant was appointed to conduct a feasibility study.

Sir John Coode (1816-92) was a civil engineer specialising in maritime construction and probably the most distinguished harbour engineer of the 19th century, working throughout the British empire.

He stated: “The proposal represents no insuperable difficulties in the way of its execution and the question will have to be determined more on financial than on engineering grounds.”

Coode assured ratepayers that the 19th century equivalent of the council tax wouldn’t go up by much, estimating that the work would cost £70,000.

The sum included £10,000 for the approach leading from Foreshore Road and the projected income to be achieved by levying a toll.

The year before the report was published, over 700,000 tickets were collected at the railway station and a quarter of a million people visited the underground aquarium below the Spa footbridge.

“If the same number of persons who visited the aquarium in four months passed over the new road only once in a year, and half of them came back again, their tolls would amount to £1,589”.

When work began, in 1897, the local authority thought it would take only three years.

But they reckoned without the immense and unpredictable power of the sea. Storms and operational problems caused many setbacks. Huge teams of labourers toiled for years with equipment and tools that would be regarded as primitive by today’s standards.

They used steam-powered cranes and a railway was constructed to transport plant and heavy materials such as enormous granite blocks.

The official laying of the final block, by the mayoress in 1904, was followed, four months later, by a violent storm which caused huge damage to the shoreline road (and washed away the northbay pier).

The new road cost £124,700 – 78% more than Coode estimated and was finally declared open on 5 August 1908.

It proved extremely popular with promenaders and remains so today; people enjoying the spectacular views and possibly - as today - trying to spot cetaceans in calm water and peregrines nesting on the cliffs.

The toll was a penny per person, whether you were on foot, in a car, on a horse or on a motorbike. It was collected at the southern end at a tollhouse which miraculously escaped the municipal fervour to demolish fine old buildings in later decades.

In the first year, the toll brought in £1,892. It was suspended during the Second World War. After the war, the vehicle toll was resumed but abolished in 1950.

Marine Drive has been damaged, repaired and altered many times over the years. Among the more controversial changes was the replacement of the original iron railings with a concrete wall.

Until then, cars driven too quickly, often by inexperienced boy racers, would crash through the barrier onto the rocks below.

In the 1990s, Yorkshire Water constructed a pumping station on Marine Drive to carry the town’s sewage to a treatment plant disguised as a farm, on the cliffs north of Scalby Mills. The pumping station, which has a big storm overflow chamber, was recently enlarged.

In 2003 and 2004, an armoured revetment using large concrete accropodes and lumps of Norwegian granite reinforced Marine Drive. It was deemed to be the most cost-effective and visually acceptable solution for Scarborough’s sea defences.

Steam-powered cranes lowered the big blocks into place.

SCARBOROUGH Art Society is to hold its annual open-air sales exhibition from Saturday 15 August until Sunday 6 September.

It will be in the ‘sunken gardens’ at the top of St Nicholas Cliff, near the Royal Hotel.

The society’s roots go back to an art school once judged the second best in the country.

Scarborough Art School was run for 35 years, until his death in 1917, by Albert Strange, an artist and yacht designer.

Members, some of whom exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, met in the library.

Mr Strange organised sketching outings which eventually led to a sketching club being formed in 1929. The club was renamed Scarborough Art Society in 1937.

Members met in a first-floor room above Boothby’s garage on the corner of Vernon Road. The site is now occupied by Premier Inn. The art school was bombed during WW2.

Tutors and pupils gritted teeth and continued to sketch outdoors but limited their artistic endeavours to each other’s

gardens and once staged an exhibition in an attic.

In 1959, Scarborough Corporation asked the society to hold twice-a-year exhibitions in the sunken gardens.

In recent years the springtime outing was scrapped due to the unpredictability of the weather.

The remaining sunken garden exhibition takes place during summer.

The rest of the year is spent at Queen Street Methodist Church, with monthly demonstrations by professionals.

Yorkshire Coast College and its art and design department at Westwood are also direct descendants of the art school.

A joint exhibition with Westwood at Scarborough Art Gallery is being planned for January 2016, thus continuing a linked history spanning a century.

Barrie Petterson, the society’s publicity officer, hopes exhibition sales will be healthy and that membership increases. n For more details, visit www.scarboroughartsociety.co.uk or ring 361117 or 377299.

Race along to charity event at the Commercial

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

A CHARITY race night in aid of Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind will take place at the Commercial on Falsgrave on Friday August 14.

The race night is being organised by former Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, Pat Marsburg and Commercial landlady, Kay Youngson.

The fun gets under way at 7.30pm and stakes are just £1 per horse.

BRIGHT sunshine boosted attendance at the Big Gig at Woodend in Scarborough.

Scores of adults and children turned out for the annual picnic organised by the town branch of the human-rights group Amnesty International.

The first and last of many performers playing for free was DJ Mister Tooley, fulfilling a pledge made on Facebook: “As the government are out to scrap the Human Rights Act, I'm going to include a bunch of records themed on freedom, liberty, civil rights and social justice in my sets.”

Next came a quintet comprised of Mike Gordon, who chairs the local branch of Amnesty and compered the event, on keyboards, Bob Walker on bass, Ian chalk on trumpet, Tom Mellor of Wold Top Brewery on guitar and Tom Townsend on drums.

Led by Mark Gordon on keyboards, most of the 24-voice SJT Funky Choir turned out to sing songs like Blackbird, Better Every Day, Rolling on a River, Crazy Love, I Say a Little Prayer, Uprising, You Can Call Me Al, etc.

They were followed by the SJT Youth Choir and the Den houseband, featuring Tom Townsend, Rowan Oliver, Nick

Tom Townsend and daughter Thea.

Boyes and Mark Gordon.

If Tom was any more laid back he'd fall over and it was lovely to see his young daughter spot her daddy and toddle across to say hello, mid-set.

Playing guitar and vibraslap, he kicked off with BB King then sauntered through Sweet Home Chicago and on to Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison and others, each as mellow as the next. A raffle raised £350.

Fairy garden enchants children – and adults

Hayley Collier loves the fairy garden

Words and photos by Dave Barry

A MAGICAL fairy garden has appeared at the bottom of a felled tree on the former railway line at Cloughton.

Miniature figures, flowers, fences, furniture, ladders and a wheelbarrow full of tiny pumpkins nestle among the exposed roots of the tree, which looks as if it may have blown over in a strong wind.

Needless to say, the fairy garden has proved popular among children – but adults are just as enchanted.

It was created by Marianne Pratt after telling her daughter Willow, 2, that fairies live in the tree, while walking their dog on the path.

Marianne’s creation has been embellished by others.

Tales from cooler water 18 - Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24

by Steve Crawford

Well, allegedly summer is here in all its glory. The swifts are sailing up above, whales have been spotted off the Marine Drive, and the soporific drone of the insects lull us happily to thoughts of peace and tranquillity. So where is the sunshine?

This year the jet stream, the high altitude winds that drive our weather, is fluctuating from north to south, so one week or so of settled weather is followed by a shift to cooler weather. It seems even us hardened East Coasters are feeling the bite of the unpredictable weather.

One downside is that the heavy rain has affected water quality on some days. Be aware that after heavy rain it is a good idea to check SAS’s ‘safer seas’ service app for real time data, alternatively check Fluid Concept Surf Shop page on Facebook for local info, just to check before you take the plunge.

A huge thanks to everyone who came to the Surfers Against Sewage / Barefoot Wine beach clean on 18 July. We had a cracking afternoon thanks to Jack and Brogan from SAS and Billy from Barefoot

wine who came all the way from way down South to organise and educate us at the event. 64 people came down to help and the weirdest find was an unidentified tooth, with the root still attached. The event was part of a national collaboration between SAS and Barefoot Wine to highlight the problems of litter on our beaches.

On that note, something rather special happened in Newquay this month.

Prince Charles met with SAS and other ocean charities as part of Ocean Plastics Awareness Day. The idea is to seek alternatives and solutions to the ever growing problem of marine litter. What we see on the beaches is really the teeniest tip of the iceberg and the real bulk is under the surface, out at sea. This event aimed to get companies, people and government involved and to start becoming part of the solution. One great example is Chicago the city decided to put a tax of 5c on each plastic bottle of water sold and put the money towards public water projects. So it raised......$38,000,000! Think on that.

Kyle and Christie go on the Yorkshire Coast Homes staff take run for the RNLI on the Three Peaks Challenge Report and photo by Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry

Christie Milner and Kyle Patel in training.

TWO Scarborough lifeboat crew members are raising funds for the RNLI by competing in the Great North Run. Kyle Patel and Christie Milner will run 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday 13 September.

Kyle, an executive chef at a big hotel, has been training for about a year and this will be his first half-marathon.

Christie is a senior lifeguard and part of the RNLI’s community engagement team, with an educational role, visiting schools, etc. Her training involves the beach boot camp. Lifeboat operations manager John Senior said: “This is a really tough challenge and it’s great to see Kyle and Christie taking it on. So from those left behind, good luck and go like the wind!” * To sponsor Kyle and Christie, go to www. justgiving.com/Kyle-Patel and www.justgiving.com/Xti-Milner or make a donation at Scarborough shop, next to the building site where the new lifeboathouse is going up.

A GROUP of 30 Scarborough walkers have successfully completed the gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise around £3500 for a number of local and national charities.

Yorkshire Coast Homes Health and Safety Manager Andy Turner and Assistant Director of Communities Sarah Bird hatched the idea of inviting colleagues and friends to put together three teams to tackle the 24 mile hike, which takes in the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

The Yorkshire Coast Homes, Sainsbury’s and Yorkshire Coast Radio teams braved high winds and wintry showers to complete the course, which includes almost 1600 metres of climbs and descents, with the fastest walkers reaching the finish in nine and a half hours.

All funds raised will go to the Yorkshire Coast Homes Staff Charity Fund, which

The Team Yorkshire Coast Homes members at the start. has raised and distributed over £20,000 for local and national charities over the last two years.

Joint event organiser Sarah Bird said, “We thought it would be a great team challenge and something a little bit different to what we have done previously to raise funds for the staff charity. It was also an excellent opportunity to get some of the partners we work with involved too.”

Springhead stages Mad Hatter’s tea party Words and main photo by Dave Barry

A SPECIALIST school in Scarborough has staged a Mad Hatter’s tea party.

Sixth-form pupils at Springhead created a sculpture exhibition with an Alice in Wonderland theme, to celebrate the story’s 150th anniversary.

The sculptures were made from a variety of media including recycled materials.

Teacher Ginny Forrest said: “Both sixthform classes have been working hard on individual pieces since the beginning of term. It has been a wonderful experience for the pupils - many of whom have worked independently to create some lovely works of art”.

The exhibition has been seen at St James’s Church and the Customer First centre at the town hall.

Teacher Sara Pickering added: “It was so successful that it seemed such a shame to start dismantling all these amazing sculptures, which range from a giant white rabbit to tissue-paper rose trees.

We want the exhibition to reach a wider audience and are looking for a new venue or local business to display the work.”

The exhibition has drawn high praise from visitors. Comments include: “Superb exhibition, lovely to see all the splendid work by Springhead students.

Well done guys!”

And: “A fantastic display – the amount of skill and creativity from all the artists is some of the best work I have ever seen”.

In 2014, an Ofsted report described Springhead as an “outstanding” specialist school for cognition and learning for pupils aged between 2 and 19.

The school welcomes new students aged 16 into its sixth form. They follow a balanced and varied three-year course of study which helps prepare them for the next phase of their lives.

This includes further development of their maths, English and ICT skills, alongside developing independence, creativity and sport with a particular

focus on vocational studies.

Head Teacher Debbie Wilson said: “What our students accomplish continually amazes me. They have been pleased and proud of their achievements, and they have used their skills and imagination to produce this wonderful exhibition. Even the British Museum has overlooked the 150th anniversary of the story of Alice in Wonderland, and has sent its display to New York! Hopefully our exhibition will inspire a new generation of children to read the story”.

YCH apprenticeship YMCA set to sizzle throughout the opens doors for Micha summer

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview. co.uk

Former YCH apprentice, Micha Stewart in her new role at the Bistro At The SJT as a Hospitality & Catering assistant

Event organiser, former YCH apprentice Micha Stewart (pictured right of YCH Mascot Captain Keyple) with all the teams that took part in the YCH Sports Funday to raise funds for SWR Mind

19-YEAR-OLD Micha Stewart was unemployed and searching for work when she came across the Business Administration apprenticeship opportunities at Yorkshire Coast Homes (YCH). After a challenging interview process, Micha learned that she was one of five new apprentices that had been selected from almost 50 original applicants.

Micha explained that she had gained so much from her YCH apprenticeship placement, such as getting used to working in an office environment and learning brand new skills. She said: ”Diversity is very important at YCH and apprentices are made to feel like equals. I loved that YCH hold many Community Days throughout the year, offering staff members a chance to break off from their everyday duties to make a difference in the local community. My own role within the YCH Community Involvement Team involved a lot of event planning, creativity and interaction with both tenants and the wider community – I really enjoyed it.”

Micha seized the opportunity to show her initiative

at YCH and she even organised her own fundraising event. She added: “When I heard that Scarborough and Ryedale MIND needed more funding to keep their much needed service going I decided to plan an event to raise money. I organised a Sports Fun Day for staff and altogether we ended up raising a total of £1000.”

Micha has now passed her Level 2 Business Administration NVQ and completed her 12 month apprenticeship at YCH. She has also successfully gained employment and is enjoying her new role.

“I am so happy that I have kept my foot in the door and managed to secure a role at YCH’s new social enterprise project, the Bistro At The SJT. I am now in charge of the Coffee At The SJT takeaway café and I am really enjoying this new challenge. I hope to work for YCH for many years to come and I would definitely encourage anybody thinking about doing an apprenticeship to take the opportunity, as it has certainly opened many doors for me.”

THE School holidays may have kicked in, but at the Scarborough YMCA, activities will not be stopping, or even slowing down.

The YMCA's town centre location will remain very much open over the next few weeks, with the Youth Club continuing to run on Thursday and Friday evenings throughout.

Dave Hammond Even the high octane basketball club that runs on Tuesday nights will not be stopping, whatever the temperature reaches outside.

With such a superb facility at the heart of the town, youth worker Dave Hammond is keen that the YMCA building gets full usage over the warm summer months. "I know a lot of activities drop off during the summer, often because of holidays, which result in falling numbers of attendees, but we want to keep our facilities going, so that if any young people are at a loose end, they can come down here in the evenings," said Dave.

Even though the regular basketball season has finished, the members of the club said they wanted to keep training through the summer, so coach Martin Roberts will be in the house for the duration. Likewise the gym and games facilities that young people are taking up in greater numbers will also be available.

"We have had a slow start to our Youth Club, but gradually more and more young people are coming in as word gets around," said Dave. "The hall is there to be used and once we drag out some of the equipment, like the table tennis set and crash mats, youngsters are having a great time. With a refreshment bar in the building as well, there is something for everybody." n For more information regarding activities ring 01724 374227.

Nursery enjoys safety workshop with RNLI Applications open for Scarborough UTC

By Krystal Starkey

By Krystal Starkey

LIFEGUARDS from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution ran an interactive workshop at Green Hedges nursery about the importance of beach and sun safety.

Whilst the lifeguards in Yorkshire run an annual programme called ‘Hit the Surf ’ for Yorkshire children aged between eight and eleven this is the first time that they have run a workshop for nursery aged children.

Carol Morley, Green Hedges nursery manager, said: “ We were delighted that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution accepted our invitation to spend time with our children, and are very proud to be the first nursery to engage in this way. We feel that it is very important that our children are given opportunities to experience visits and understand how to stay safe on the beach, in the sun, and in the sea.”

RNLI lifeguard supervisor, James Turner, talked to the children about safety and played a range of games with them. The children also had the opportunity to engage with the flags, try on the lifeguard beach equipment and look at an operational truck.

SCARBOROUGH University Technical College in Scarborough is advising students to apply early amid growing interest. The college is set to open in September 2016, following a significant government investment programme.

The industry-orientated school will deliver courses to 14-18 year olds with The University of Hull as the lead education partner. The UTC will also be supported by international business such as McCain, Unison Ltd, Scarborough Borough Council, Castle, Dale Power Solutions and Deep Sea Electronics Tim Englefield, Principal Designate, said: “Our young people will learn using a modern curriculum blending traditional GCSE and A Level subjects, such as Maths, English and Science, alongside Engineering Technical qualifications.

“Engineering, design and control careers are varied, in demand, with great potential and the perfect option for both girls and boys who have a desire to solve problems, use creative and investigative thought processes, and become inventors and innovators.”

Applications to be part of the September 2016 intake must be made by 31st January 2016. There are limited places with only 200 openings. Students that live in Whitby, Malton, Bridlington, Filey, Pickering, Driffield, Scarborough and surrounding areas can apply.

The building for Scarborough UTC will be part of a £45 million combined sports and education campus approved by the Scarborough Planning Committee. Students will be able to take advantage of the Sports Village and football ground, which will be situated on the old Weaponness Park and Ride site, close to the centre of Scarborough. n Students can find more information and apply at the newly developed Scarborough UTC website www.scarboroughutc.co.uk, where they can also download a prospectus.

CHILDCARE opTIoNS Each child is unique and when it comes to choosing childcare, you want to make the right decision. Here’s a brief glance at the different types of care available.

NURSERY SCHOOLS

CHILDMINDERS Childminders are usually selfemployed and Ofsted-certified.

They tend to work from their own homes. As the number of children a childminder can care for at any one time is limited to six, under eight years of age, this might be a good choice for kids that like smaller groups and homely settings. Also childminders can work at irregular hours, so if your job is outside of the standard 9am-5pm this could be the option for you.

Nursery schools offer full or half day care for children aged 3-5.

Many are state-run, which means they will be free, but private Nursery Schools will often charge per term. Find out by speaking to the school you're interested in.

PLAYGROUPS Often organised by community volunteers and other parents, these groups place emphasis on play and social interaction, allowing your child to get hands-on with different toys and activities.

They can run for just a few hours during term time and can be great as irregular childcare.

DAY NURSERIES Day nurseries are popular as they offer all day care for people who work the regular 9-5. Usually day

nurseries have plenty of staff so they can look after children of a range of ages. Day nursery can sometimes be expensive so it’s worth enquiring first.

Before and after school clubs Often run by schools themselves, they offer a chance for children aged 3 - 14, to catch up on homework and play together.

Some schools even have dedicated breakfast clubs to set your child up for the day.

NANNIES AND AU-PAIRS If you’re looking for one-on-one care in your own home, then a nanny or an au-pair might be the right choice. This can be great for the child as they get a lot of attention and build a strong bond with their carer, but obviously prices can be very high.

SCARBOROUGH Athletic Football Club has done a deal with North Yorkshire-based business Derwent Training Association to sponsor the under-18 team, and in return apprentices will be given reduced admission to Athletic's home games.

Scarborough Athletic Football Club and Derwent Training Association were introduced by Third Energy who has a strong relationship with both organisations: Derwent supplies apprentices to Third Energy; and Third Energy recently renewed their sponsorship of Athletic’s shirts which has been running for the last three years.

Boro joint-manager Bryan Hughes fully supports this new, cut-price match day experience for apprentices. He said:“As a community-focused club, we are delighted to partner with Derwent Training Association. We share the same desire to raise training and aspiration amongst local youngsters. Hopefully the enthusiasm we show on the pitch will be mirrored in the trainees and vice-versa.”

Derwent Training Association provides industry-led training in partnership with employers and other providers, including Third Energy. Based in purpose-built facilities in Malton, Derwent is funded by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and is a Centre of Vocational Excellence and OFSTED grade II education provider.

Brokering the deal also led to Derwent sponsoring Scarborough Athletic's Under 18s.

John Brockett, general manager said: “What we share with Scarborough Athletic is a desire to enable young people to achieve their maximum potential and encourage them to stay in the area and contribute to the local economy.”

Third Energy facilitated the arrangement as part of its commitment to developing young people in the community. In

From left, Nick Finch, John Brockett (General Manager from DTA) and Shaun Zablocki, (Operations Support Manager from Third Energy) addition to the energy company providing skilled jobs in the area, including apprenticeships, it also encourages its people to play their part of local life.

Shaun Zablocki, Operations Support Manager at Third Energy, explained: "Derwent Training Association provides us with apprentices and so it makes perfect sense for us to support all of the young people currently serving apprenticeships by negotiating a good deal for them to attend football.”

Open day success for Coventry University Scarborough Campus

Professor Craig Gaskell (centre) with Danielle Hatton and Bobbie Moorhouse amongst a sand sculpture showing a desk, seat and huge University scroll created by Sand In Your Eye on South Bay beach for the open event THE first major open event for the new Coventry University Scarborough Campus has been hailed as a great success by the organisers.

The open day and launch of the new courses at Scarborough Spa attracted hundreds of people and the University received more than 100 serious enquiries – with around 20 signing up for courses on the spot.

Professor Craig Gaskell, Provost of Coventry University Scarborough Campus, said: “We are delighted with the numbers and mix of people who

came to see what we are offering. The message that we are coming to town and are bringing a new way of learning has certainly hit home and been very well received.”

Based upon the high-quality and low-cost career focused model of higher education pioneered in Coventry, the new university aims to address the employment and skills needs of the Yorkshire Coast as well as attracting students from the wider Yorkshire region and beyond.

Courses will be delivered during the first academic year of 2015/16 from landmark venues in Scarborough ahead of the new £14 million purpose-built university campus aimed to open in September 2016, as part of the planned new sports and education facility on the former Weaponness park and ride site in the town.

Applications through UCAS are now being taken for courses available from this September including management and leadership, health, childhood development, accounting, law and policing.

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Kate was chosen as one of the seven Interflora expert florists who worked tirelessly over six days in the lead-up to the wedding. She was asked personally to help with the day by Interflora due to her design experience and wedding expertise.

Their bespoke floral designs embellished the venues, outfits and even the wedding cake, and used 16 different varieties of flower and plants.

Kate said: “It was a spectacular experience working on

SCARBOROUGH florist Kate Ward blossomed at one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year.

Kate, from Louise Florist on Huntriss Row, was part of the Interflora team which created some stunning flower arrangements for the wedding of former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan and ex-Towie star Mark Wright.

STARS shine brightly at top awards ceremony

Enjoying the big night at the STARS awards ceremony

THE inaugural STARS ceremony which celebrated the success of apprentices in Scarborough and surrounding areas was a resounding success.

The event was held at the Royal Hotel in Scarborough and was attended by the Mayor of Scarborough Cllr Tom Fox and the Lady Mayoress Ros Fox. The event had the support of Yorkshire Coast Homes, National Apprenticeship Service, Scarborough Borough Council, YH Training Services, Dalby Offshore, Yorkshire Coast College and

such a high-profile wedding, and I was very proud to be a part of the Interflora team. When I was asked to do it I was not even told who it was for at first as it was all very hush-hush due to the deal with Hello Magazine.”

The ceremony between the two TV stars was held at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds. Beautiful bride Michelle carried a white hydrangea and double lisianthus bridal bouquet complete with diamanté and pearl pins, whilst groom Mark chose to wear three heads of white double lisianthus in his buttonhole, along with brother and best man Joshua Wright.

A total of 22 12ft flower trees featuring lanterns lined the walkway of the chapel aisle, combining white hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, bloom chrysanthemums, carnations and lilies.

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and guests moved to nearby Hengrave Hall for the wedding breakfast and reception.

Kate added: “The colour scheme and choice of delicate flowers combined with green ferns and moss created a beautiful floral backdrop for the wedding. It was a one off experience for me and I doubt I will get the opportunity to experience anything similar. It was a wonderful experience.”

Protect your shed from thieves this summer

By Krystal Starkey

SCARBOROUGH’s Community Impact Team is warning residents to keep sheds secure following a number of burglaries in Eastfield.

Statistically, thieves are more likely to target sheds, outbuildings and garages than homes.

Scarborough Borough Council are giving away free UV pens, which residents can use to mark more expensive property with their house number and postcode. They are available from the Customer First centre on St Nicholas Street, though supplies are limited.

The multi-agency Community Impact Team, part of the borough’s Safer Communities Partnership, also wants residents to take other precautions, including: • • •

Putting away any equipment that could be used to help a criminal break in, such as a spade or trowel Installing outside lighting, even battery powered lights or solar lights Fitting a mortise lock or padlock to sheds and outbuildings that are not secure

Sgt Chris Gosling from North Yorkshire Police said: “Making life more difficult for the criminal, to keep them out of your home or outbuildings, really needn’t be as difficult or costly as you might think.

“If you need crime prevention advice or have other questions, our local police community support officers would be more than happy to come out and speak to you.”

The weeping elm in Dean Road

Words and photos by Dave Barry

A LONG campaign to save one of Scarborough’s favourite trees has taken a leap forward.

A temporary tree-preservation order (TPO) has been granted for the weeping-wych elm in Dean Road.

The tree, thought to be one of the most attractive in the town, came under threat when Tesco obtained planning permission for a large supermarket.

The retail giant wanted to build another supermarket on a large site on both sides of Trafalgar Street West, which would have had to close.

A four-year, grass-roots battle by Scarborough Town Against Tesco Store (Stats) resulted in a public inquiry into the proposed road closure and was followed by the withdrawal of the controversial Tesco plan.

In 2013, David Alderman of the Tree Register UK, travelled from Bedfordshire to Yorkshire to inspect the tree.

He said it was the largest of its kind in Yorkshire and the sixth largest in England. It is thought to have been planted when a workhouse opened in 1859.

Mr Alderman added it to the Tree Register’s list of “champion trees”, stating that it “looks healthy and vigorous and is growing well.”

The temporary TPO was granted on 19 June, with four weeks allowed for anyone to object.

Scarborough Council planning manager David Walker said: “We have not received any objections and will therefore be considering whether to make the TPO on the weeping elm permanent in due course.” A decision would be made by 20 August, he said.

The site is owned by healthcare and property company Assura Properties, based in Warrington.

It was previously used as St Mary’s Hospital (demolished in 2001), a workhouse and a market garden.

It is now being used as a pay-and-display carpark, although planning permission has not been granted. A carboot sale is held there on Sundays.

Mr Walker added: “Regarding the car park operating on the site, we have informed the landowner of the need for planning permission.”

The tree is on a raised roundabout, contained by a circular brick wall.

It has branches that extend out horizontally with weeping branchlets.

The species was described by 19th century botanist John Loudon as “a beautiful tree generally growing to one side, spreading its branches out in a fan-like manner, sometimes horizontally and at other times almost perpendicularly downwards so that the head of the tree exhibits great variety of shape”.

Hanging baskets getting plenty of attention

GARDENS across the town are looking great at the moment and, even though the weather hasn’t really settled, at least it’s warm and unsettled rather than cold, wet and miserable! The

Muck and Magic gardeners have been out and about and have noticed that hanging baskets are doing well this year, probably due to the type of weather we have been experiencing.

But how does the savvy gardener keep his baskets flowering well into autumn? Here are a few tips. First of all and most importantly - don’t forget the watering. It’s almost impossible to overwater a hanging basket so get as much moisture in as possible.

Everyday watering is essential as those roots will be crammed into a small space and competing with each other for water. Don’t rely on rainy days to do the work for you. Keep up to date with picking off dead heads as this will encourage new buds to develop.

Feeding with a high potash feed such as liquid tomato food will also promote and prolong healthy flowers.

It’s at this time of the year that the Head Gardener in the Muck and

Magic garden will be seen pushing a few nasturtium seeds into the edges of the baskets. These seeds will produce flowers as your petunias and geraniums are beginning to run out of steam and so extend your colour season a bit longer.

Elsewhere in the garden faded blooms from roses can be removed and stems pruned back to a good strong side shoot. This will encourage late flowering and give a good shape to the bush. If you haven’t got round to tidying up the spring aubrietia it’s not too late to cut it hard back, and don’t forget to keep feeding the sunflowers.

The Muck and Magic “Challenge The Experts” competition is still accepting entries from gardeners who think that they can be crowned champion sunflower grower for 2015. You can send your entries, and those for biggest pumpkin, to scarboroughinbloom2@hotmail.co.uk.

We are deliciously deep in raspberrys at the moment but as soon as canes have fruited they are cut back to base and new shoots tied in ready for another bumper crop next year. This is, of course, the best way to look after summer fruiting rasps. If you have autumn raspberries leave the canes till mid winter and then cut them all down to ground level.

If you have a question for the muck and magic gardeners you can contact us at scarboroughinbloom2@hotmail. co.uk and we will do our best to help solve your gardening conundrums!

Ploughing straight furrows for hospice in Cayton

Contestants prepare for battle

The ploughing match in full swing

Mick Berriman is watched closely.

Old farming equipment on display

Report and photos by Dave Barry

IDEAL conditions prevailed at the 17th annual ploughing match near Cayton on Saturday.

“There was more moisture than expected,” pointed out seasoned veteran Mick Berriman, who won his category for the third year on the trot.

Mick, of Barr Farm near Driffield, said that last year the ground was too dry and consequently hard to plough.

This year, the Ferguson two-furrow plough

pulled by his 63-year-old Grey Ferguson TE20 tractor sliced through the earth with ease, in nice straight lines.

Mick was followed, up and down the furrows, by his equally faithful and trusty 10-year-old springer spaniel Milly, who was looking for mice put up by the vibrations.

Organised by Terry and Molly Oakley and Eddie Brown, the ploughing match and vintage working day, in fields off Mill Lane, is in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice.

Besides the ploughing match, the popular

Melanie Scott, left, and Jennie Jackson were collecting for the hospice and air ambulance event featured a tractor run, working shire horses, steam engines, vintage cars, motor bikes and commercial vehicles.

Other attractions included bouncy castles, face painting, stalls, raffles, a tombola and an auction.

Raising funds to promote research Words and photo by Dave Barry

STAFF, residents and visitors of a Scarborough housing complex have raised £1,000 for four charities.

The conditions represented by the charities affect many of the residents at Cedar Court, run by Hanover Housing.

The money was raised via Cedar Court’s Gladrags, launched two years ago by estate manager Carolyn Beat and resident Doreen Lilley.

New and used clothing and accessories are donated by residents and families, then

sold on two days a week.

In this way, £3,200 has been raised for charities or emergency fundraising appeals.

On this occasion, the £1,000 was shared equally between the local branches of the Macular Society, Parkinson’s UK, the National Osteporosis Society and the Alzheimer’s Society.

Carolyn said Gladrags is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to help, ring 361781.

Scarborough Strata ONE of the great things about geology is that it is visible everywhere you look, even if there are no rocks, cliffs or beaches in sight. This is because it literally underpins all of the world around us, from the forces that build and shape our landscape, to the building stones used for our houses, though to controlling the very soils that we grow our crops in. We are very lucky living on such spectacular coastline where we can see plenty of geology, but it is also interesting to keep your eyes open for some more hidden geology.

The first example I want to give you is our very own Castle Headland. Have you ever wondered why it is there? Essentially the headland exists due to a series of

Our photo shows, L-R, Irene Atkinson of Parkinson’s UK, Doreen Lilley and Carolyn Beat of Gladrags, and Nelson Clarke and Laurence O’Toole, founder members of the Macular Society’s local support group (to order this photo, please ring 353597).

by Will Watts

geological faults, active millions of years ago that literally dropped the great mass of the Headland down, putting the harder rocks that form the Headland alongside softer rocks either side. The softer rocks have then eroded more quickly, giving us the two Bays of the town. The geological fault responsible for this movement runs right under the Castle gatehouse, but it has been inactive for many millions of years, so no earthquakes to worry about!

Another classic local example of hidden geology is our local building stones, it perhaps seems obvious, but local villages gather much of their distinctiveness from their local building stone, so the honey coloured middle Jurassic sandstones (the very same age rocks as those

that contain dinosaur footprints) of places like Burniston and Cloughton are very different to the villages on the edge of the Wolds, where chalk, flint and brick dominate.

Town centres are also great places to spot geology, and in particular keep an eye on the floors of new shopping centres, they are often home to spectacular polished limestones, marbles and other beautiful geology.

We are now busy with all our summer trips, so if you would like to see some of our stunning local geology then visit www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk and see if there is a trip you fancy.

The scarecrows are back in Muston!

Words and photos by Dave Barry

Muston’s annual scarecrow festival is back.

This year, over 100 scarecrows are entertaining thousands of visitors to the small village near Filey.

The festival, which runs until Sunday (2 August), features a scarecrow which stands at 7ft 7in, the same height as Britain’s tallest man.

A sign next to him states: “The world’s shortest man is 21.5in tall”. Visitors are invited to measure their height on a pole next to the scarecrow.

Nearby, in a display based on modern interpretations of old fairy tales, is an adult Red Riding Hood, an ugly Sleeping Beauty, a horrified prince, an old woman with bairns, the Jeremy Kyle Show and the Great Muston Bake-off.

Around the corner, visitors can find Minions do Countdown, Nanny McPhee, land girls, a marathon runner crossing the finishing line– and many more besides.

The scarecrows, most made using papier mâché, are all around the village, on pavements and rooves, in gardens and hedges and on open spaces such as the village green and grass verges.

Cllr Godfrey Allanson, one of the organisers, said: “We always know when the scarecrow festival is just around the corner when we see exceptional levels of activity in the village as the community works hard to prepare to welcome thousands of visitors.

“The villagers are also busy behind closed doors working on their show-stopping scarecrows, keeping their plans secret right up until the last minute. However, I have discovered that Dr Who will land his Tardis on the village green to defend residents and visitors from Cybermen and Daleks!”

The owner of the winning scarecrow will receive £150.

A special guest arrived in the form of a monk serving delicious mead to customers to help promote the event.

English Heritage, which looks after 400

historic buildings, monuments and sites, sold homemade fruit wines, mead, jams, chutneys and curds direct to the foodie folk of Scarborough from its stall in Westborough.

The stall was one of nearly 20 that took pride of place in the town centre as the sun shone down on Scarborough.

Simon Roe, Site Manager at Scarborough Castle, said: “Taking part in the Scarborough Food Fair is the ideal opportunity to ‘spread the word’ about our work at Scarborough Castle.

“Our special guest helped us promote the work of English Heritage as well as allow customers to try the products. It was an ideal mix of food, history and heritage on the streets of Scarborough.”

The next Scarborough Food Fair will take place on Saturday 15 August.

Plenty to see at Model Railway Exhibition

by Pete Spence pete@thescarborougreview.co.uk

NO doubt, many will recognise the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s (NYMR) celebrity station Goathland which featured as Aidensfield in the ITV programme Heartbeat and as Hogsmeade Station in the first Harry Potter film.

But is this the real thing? Visitors to the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition on the 22 & 23 August are in for a treat as the Scarborough & District Railway Modellers (SDRM) have created this iconic NYMR station and are inviting visitors to look a little more closely.

John Bruce, Goathland’s Station Master and a NYMR volunteer for over 40 years, is delighted with the results of the SDRM’s hard work, and said: “The likeness is remarkable and it is a very accurate representation of Goathland Station and the many stories depicted in the model help to bring it to life.”

Mike Johnson, Chairman of the Scarborough & District Railway

Goathland miniature Modellers, said “We take immense pride in exhibiting the best of layouts, our own and those of our invited guests. Over the exhibition weekend, visitors can see what is really possible in the miniature world. Why not make a day of it? Come visit our show and then take a trip on the NYMR. Their station is just around the corner from our venue.”

Goathland is one of ten working model railways on display at the Pickering Model Railway Exhibition taking place at the Memorial Hall in Pickering, on Saturday 22 August 10am – 5pm and on Sunday 23 August from 10am – 4pm.

Gangsters and molls at murder-mystery evening Magic moments from senior fundraisers

Words and photo by Dave Barry

A MURDER-MYSTERY evening with a gangsters-and-molls theme had everyone laughing.

It was presented at the Esplanade Hotel

by Scarborough’s Limelight Company.

Limelight was launched 23 years ago by Colette Timmons, who says: “I started it as a hobby but it snowballed.”

The company has a roll call of 60 skilled and enthusiastic actors from an area reaching as far as Newcastle in the north, Sheffield in the south and Manchester in the west.

The five-strong cast at the Esplanade consisted of Mark Palmer as Jitters, Mark Wadsworth as Gripper Grey, Barbara Pearson as Ma Edna Grey, Mike Prior as Slasher Grey and Colette Timmons as Diva Dorothy.

The company promises “unforgettable

evenings of laughter and excitement. The emphasis for the evening is fun, with a great deal of audience participation.

“We can guarantee that you and your guests will return home having had a thoroughly enjoyable night to remember.”

The scripts are full of off-the-wall humour, nothing serious, nothing to offend - just slapstick and interactive fun.

There are plots and subplots, red herrings and pink flamingoes, with tongue-in-cheek innuendo and a belly full of laughs.

“Our murder mystery events are ideal for mini-breaks for coach operators, social functions for clubs and societies, corporate entertainment, teambuilding, private celebrations and fundraising events.”

The Esplanade has become a regular venue for Limelight, which is planning similar events at the hotel. n Limelight’s website is at thelimelightcompany.com.

LADIES and gentlemen please put your hands together for the musical sensation that is Senior Moments.

When six local retired people came together in 2011 to perform in a few local care and nursing homes, little did they realise that four years later they would be constantly booked out.

Not looking for financial reward for delivering enjoyment and laughter, they have donated any payments received to Saint Catherine’s Hospice.

To date they have raised an amazing £4,000. By bringing old style music, songs from a bygone era, reading poetry, performing skits and sketches, they have helped to brighten the lives of many residents.

Front man Derek McNally, who performs with his wife and friends said: “We love

From left, Rosie Orders, Gwen McNally, Ann Eley, Norwegian guest singer Sandy Sanvik, Derek McNally, Ken Eley, (seated) Ken Orders performing and it gives us great pleasure.

When we see our audience smile and hear them singing along to a song that brings back happy memories, it is wonderful.”

Confusions sets the standards at the SJT Review by Archie Parcell

SIR Alan Ayckbourn is a master at portraying human emotions wrapped up in comic situations and the revival of his 1974 play Confusions is the perfect vehicle to show off his abundant talents, as well as a fitting way to celebrate Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre's 60th anniversary.

Confusions' five playlets were first premiered at Scarborough's Library Theatre and although much of the humour is of its time there are still plenty of laughs to be had more than 40 years on.

Themes throughout the loosely-linked but self-contained acts are typical of Ayckbourn - loneliness and isolation, hypocrisy, domestic unhappiness and the general frailty of human relationships.

The whole array of emotions are there in some form, from the opening 'Mother Figure' who is so consumed by looking after her kids that she can only relate to her nextdoor neighbours as children, to the philandering salesman in 'Drinking Companion', whose hotel chat-up lines are too much for two perfume reps,

Ayton art exhibition well worth a look

and on to the adulterous wife so bored with her career-obsessed husband that she has an affair with his ageing boss in 'Between Mouthfuls' - the pick of the quintet of scenes with the five actors each playing their part to perfection.

Top that up with the farcical 'Gosforth's Fete' and its repercussions of a faulty Tannoy system, before leading on to the poignant finale of 'A Talk in the Park' with five characters not wishing to communicate and sitting alone on park benches, and you have an evening of top entertainment, although the five acts together perhaps lack a combined unifying force.

The actors make the most of every opportunity to show of their range of talents, with the 20 characters portrayed by a cast of just five Richard Stacey, Stephen Billington, Emma Manton, Russell Dixon and Elizabeth Boag - a former pupil at Lady Lumley's in Pickering and a talented actress who is fast becoming a Stephen Joseph Theatre regular.

Confusions runs until September 26 but dates need to be checked for which nights the play is on.

AYTON Art Club put on a fine display when they held an exhibition in the village.

The event took place at the village hall and featured a range of exhibitors.

Auctioneer David Duggleby officially opened the exhibition which attracted a lot of interest.

Organiser Anne Dargue said: “We were absolutely thrilled with the exhibition and it was fantastic to see so many there for the opening.

“A big thank you to David who spoke very well and helped set the tone for the event. There was lots of interest and some very positive comments on the art on display.”

Jean Raine, of Ayton, was exhibiting some of her pottery work which she has been producing now for over 50 years and has attended 48 of the exhibitions in total.

She said: “It is wonderful to see that there are so many talented people out there still prepared to show off their work in a lovely village venue.

“I have been doing this for years and always look forward to this coming around.”

Another year, another terrific Seafest

Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24 33

Words and photos by Dave Barry

SUN and rain, ukuleles and Americana, exotic food and gulls’ feet: this year’s Seafest had it all.

The highlights included Some Like it Ossett, aka the Scarborough Harbour Palava, as it was dubbed by a spectator, at the request of leader Jacqui Wickes.

Over 30 ukulele players took part and had a hoot, watched by a full tent early on Saturday afternoon, with boozers baking outside.

The maritime set featured mass-ukulele

renditions of The Tide is High, What Shall we do With the Drunken Sailor, Octopus's Garden, Under the Boardwalk and, almost inevitably, I do Like to be Beside the Seaside.

That evening, Americana trio American Echoes - Jesse Hutchinson, Sean Conroy and Joe Thornton - accompanied their high-octane blend of bluegrass, alt.country and rock ‘n’ roll covers with much whoopin’ and a-hollerin’. It went down a storm.

Sunday’s top spots included quickfire stand-up poetry courtesy of A Firm of

Poets, ranging in tone from witty and hilarious to sombre and thoughtful.

Jesse Hutchinson’s solo set featured about a dozen young children dancing between stage and audience, as the rain came on and gulls padded across the tent roof, with only their disembodied webbed orange feet visible below.

Everyone Loves Ernie, fronted by Damion Pickup, sang laid-back covers such as the Jackson Five’s I Want You Back, Wham's I'm Your Man, Jacko’s Billie Jean and, with Ernie on low-down vocals, Fever.

Sharing the Seafest bill, and enjoyed by most people present, were Mister Tooley, Tom Davenport, North of the Wall, the Demimondaines, the Two Tones, Dan Lumley, SJT Youth Choir, Ross Dransfield, the Rockin’ Hillbilly Blues Band, Connor & Nathan, Billy Neilson & John Cunworth,

Ben Lane, the Railroad Hoboes, Spearmint Rock, Hope & Social, Grand Theft Audio, Jessie Law, Chu Ma Shu – and fireworks.

The music and beer tent was much smaller than usual, because of the space taken up on the West Pier by the lifeboathouse builders. A much larger tent was allocated to the traders of fudge, pies and pictures, the Maritime Heritage Centre and cookery demonstrations.

Food stalls sold Thai, Spanish and Jamaican street-nosh.

Over on the north wharf, the Whale was the world’s smallest theatre, with just enough room for a performer and an audience of three. The adjacent tent accommodated workshops and a fascinating geology display.

Neville’s Island set to stand alone at SJT Daniel Crowder will play the lead role

Jamie Chapman

THE Stephen Joseph Theatre revives a hit comedy from the award-winning writer of Calendar Girls as its celebratory 60th summer season continues.

Tim Firth’s Neville’s Island was first shown at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round at Westwood in June 1992 and has since continued to be staged throughout the world.

It is being revived for the first time by the SJT and runs in the Round from 6 to 27 August in Scarborough, directed by the theatre’s Associate Director Henry Bell.

Four out-of-condition, middle-aged businessmen are sent off on a team building exercise in the Lake District

where they succeed in being the first people ever to get shipwrecked on an island on Derwentwater.

Director Henry Bell said: “Tim Firth has a mastery of tone and Neville’s Island is very, very funny but it can really shock an audience too. It also deals with big ideas whilst observing the more mundane elements of human life.”

Daniel Crowder plays the title role and returns to the SJT where he last appeared in the world premiere of Tim Firth’s The Safari Party, directed by Alan Ayckbourn, in 2003.

Craig Cheetham makes his SJT debut as Gordon. He can currently be heard on Radio 4 in the afternoon drama Stone and seen on Channel 4’s The Offence.

Jamie Chapman comes to the SJT fresh from recording for Catherine Tate’s new series of Nan for the BBC. John Last takes on the role of Angus and will also perform on the SJT stage for the first time. n Neville’s Island can be seen at the SJT from Thursday 6 to Thursday 27 August.

Tickets, priced from £10 to £24.50, are available from the Box Office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com.

Janine’s forest wins £4,000 award Sponsored by the Haworth Trust, the prize is for young artists (aged 35 and under) living and working in the North, creating work inspired by their surroundings.

Janine, 35, says: “There are so many beautiful landscapes in Yorkshire I love but Cropton Forest in North Yorkshire is one of my favourites. It offers a beguiling mix of intense darkness between the trees and patches of sunlight dappling the forest floor.

“There are multiple layers within this landscape – tall linear tree forms, overgrown scrubland and deeply entrenched paths. To depict these layers in my work, as well as convey life and movement, I have made grooves in the surface of the paper and layered with charcoal, graphite and pastel. Above all I hope to capture the essence of Cropton Forest and the sense of peace and tranquillity it evokes".

New English Art Club president Richard Pikesley, who was on the selection panel, said: “We chose Cropton Forest I as the winning piece because of its strength and immediacy, the observational quality of its drawing and for the haunting atmosphere it creates looking through the woodland.”

Rounding up for final time after three decades at Shire Horse Farm

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

TONY Jenkins is bringing his rein at Staintondale Shire Horse Farm to an end after 30 memorable years.

The flamboyant entertainer and horse breeder has been welcoming visitors to his top attraction for three decades but Tony and wife Ann have decided that this will be their final season as an attraction.

Tony said: “We felt that with this being the 30 year anniversary then it would be a fitting way to bring it to and end. We are just going to open Sundays until the end of August so that for those who have never been here, there is still that opportunity.”

The business was started in 1985 when Tony was breeding a few shire horses and needed some extra income to support this.

He said: “I got the inspiration from going to the Great Yorkshire Show when I a Shire filly with me. I was so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and love from both young and old people for the horses, I

decided to open my farm to visitors to come and see them. It made me somewhat a pioneer at he time as farm attractions were unheard of.

“What started as a small enterprise, and grew quickly to the point where we were getting 20,000 visitors each season.

“My passion and love for the business also encouraged me to write and in total I have now done five books which have sold over 4,000 copies of in total.

“The farm has won numerous awards including a Yorkshire Tourist Board White Rose and various other accolades.

“The thing I will miss the most is the people. We have had some great people visit us over the years and I absolutely love sharing my passion with them all.

“I am 84-years-old in November so I think it is the correct thing to do. We will certainly be going out in high spirits though and look forward to the final ride.

This business has provided me with a wonderful life and I would not change any of it.”

Jane was the female breaststroke swimmer who came home in 2hrs 12 mins 57secs to complete the 5K distance her furthest yet.

Alex Lee and Alex Sedman, who canoed for the swimmers, decided it was time to come out of retirement and join Erin in the 1000m dash and all finished in very credible times, Erin in 21 mins, Alex Lee in 22 mins, and Alex Sedman in 28mins 36 secs.

The club wanted to congratulate all who took part and say a massive thank you to the safety team.

A YOUNG football referee from Scarborough was one of four North of England officials to have made a step forwards towards the top.

Guided by the county’s Referee Development Officer Ross Joyce and Development Coach Andy Himsworth, the officials excelled in temperatures exceeding 35C, drawing praise from all corners and receiving plum appointments to semi-final games for the week long competition.

George Roberts added, “This was a first class experience, not only just to officiate abroad but also to compete with the difficulties of language barriers and having to officiate with referees from other countries.”

North Riding County FA Referee Development Officer, Ross Joyce added: “Without doubt this tournament has been the most powerful piece of referee development we have undertaken in the last eight years.”

“As a sign of how well all four referees performed, each was awarded with a plum semi-final appointment so it was very encouraging.”

Memorial match day a fitting tribute to Andrew Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE Andrew McGeown Memorial Pink Princess Party at Eastway Sports proved to be a resounding success.

The 32-year-old Scarborough man tragically lost his life in February this year when he was swept out to sea attempting to rescue his beloved pet dog Arnold.

Andrew was a big Scarborough Pirates rugby league fan and a fan of all things pink so the Pink Princess Party and Memorial Match was created.

Tina Boden, one of the organisers, said: “It was a fitting tribute to Andrew and people turned out in force to show their respects and have a great day.

“The weather was spot on and perfect for

watching some rugby and enjoying the BBQ and refreshments.

“We were raising money for the RNLI who made a brave attempt to save Andrew's life, and we raised almost one and a half thousand pounds, which was magnificent.

“We are in the process of setting up The Andrew McGeown legacy which will continue to raise money for charity.

“I would like to thank everyone who supported this event and it was truly a brilliant day in memory of a wonderful guy.”

Both Pirates A and first teams were in action losing 30-26 and 25-10 respectively.

Darts fan John still on target after 56 years

John Gowan

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

JOHN Gowan has been involved in the local darts scene for a staggering 56 years and coming up to his 80th birthday this year, has no ideas of stepping down.

John first played darts in Scarborough in 1959 for the

Trafalgar after coming out of the army.

He said: “I lived on Hoxton Road at the time and the Traf is just round the corner. One day when I was in there the landlady Dianne Lofthouse asked me if I fancied playing darts as they were often short. I had never really played the game at all until that point but over 50 years later am still involved.”

John played for a successful Traf team for several years before work commitments and a move to Eastfield meant he gave up the game for a while.

A move back to Scarborough saw John set up the SubAqua Club with friends Jim Lassie and Stan Bradley, so he also played for them and the Conservative Club after.

It was in the early 80s when John began his work away from the oche.

He added: “I was asked to be secretary for the club’s league and thought I would give it a go as although I was no longer playing, I was enjoying the social side of the game and my wife Ann was still heavily involved. 35 years later I am still involved and am President of the Yorkshire Darts Committee. I have also played a lot of

pool and snooker over the years and still play snooker now at the Conservative Club and enjoy it.”

John, who went to the Scarborough Boys High School, married his wife Ann in 1959 and their love of darts meant they spent most of their social time together and got to travel all around the country as part of the Yorkshire set-up.

John, who was a science and engineering lecturer at the old technical college, said: “We had some wonderful times and met some very special people. After Ann passed we changed the name of one of the leagues to the Ann Gowan Darts and Dominoes League and it has been that way for the past 10 years now.”

John and friend Brian Robinson even started up the Sunday Pool League in the Scarborough area in 1990 which is still very popular today.

John added: “The sport has been a massive part of my life, from a 23-year-old walking into the Traf right until approaching my 80th birthday this November. And I would not change it for the world.”

can to support him during his recovery.

“It was great to see the likes of Neil Warnock, Colin Appleton, Steve Norris, Alan Kamara and many many more all get together and talk about old times. There were quite a few of the later generation of Boro players too such as Mark Hotte, Leigh Walker and Steve Baker, so there was a great mixture.”

Sean had been planning the event for many months and has already started on making the 2016 version even bigger and better.

He added: “We really want to have a game next year with former players. That would be the icing on the cake and a real treat for everyone attending.

“It was extremely hard work but worth it in the end and it was a lot of fun. There was a great atmosphere and I would like to thank everyone who got involved.

“We ended the night at Quids Inn thanks to owner Alf Arton who was very generous. I can tell you that Steve Norris was probably the last one to go home.”

Next year's event will take place on July 16.

THE Boro reunion and festival of football at Scarborough Rugby Club's Silver Royd was hailed a success and a date has already been set for next year's event.

The only downer on the day was a broken leg for the Scarborough & District team's Dan Jenkinson in their friendly with Scarborough Athletic.

Rhodes looking to make waves at the Rumble on the Humber Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH boxer George Rhodes is heading for the biggest test so far of his young professional career.

The 23 year-old former Westway Amateur is on the under card of the huge clash between Hull rivals Luke Campbell and Tommy Coyle at Hull KR's Craven Park on Saturday August 1 billed as the Rumble on the Humber.

Rhodes takes on another Hull fighter Paul O'Brien, and knows he will have to be at his best to walk away with the victory.

Rhodes said: “This is the biggest night of my career so far and I am looking forward to it. He has the home town advantage but I will have my supporters too and I have to make sure I just concentrate on my own performance.

“I have been training very hard with my coaches, dad George and Alan Edwards and we have done everything we can to prepare correctly.”

This will be only Rhodes' second professional contest after emerging victorious in his debut fight in Barnsley earlier

this year against Frank Greaves.

He added: “It has been a case of adjusting to the professional game and I am thoroughly enjoying that. I eat, sleep and breathe boxing and I am a fan as much as I am a competitor.

“To be boxing on shows with the likes of Tommy Coyle and Luke Campbell is unbelievable and I want more of it.

“Hopefully I can come away with a win and think about planning another fight for around September. It would be nice to get some momentum going and progress.

“I would like to George Rhodes thank Gordon Gibb

of Flamingo Land for his support and I am always looking to try and attract new sponsors.”

If any local businesses would like to find out about sponsoring George on his professional boxing adventure then please ring him on 07896 568611.

Scarborough Review, August - Issue 24 49

Mcguinness sets sights on gold Cup success

CAPTAIN’S REVIEW Neil Elvidge THIS month has been a mixed bag at Scarborough Cricket Club with some indifferent performances and results.

The first team had their unbeaten run ended

by Easingwold, then lost to Hull Zingari, which were both disappointing defeats.

Alex Carrie and Mark Tennant both impressed however scoring hundreds.

We got back to winning ways beating Clifton Alliance, which was extremely important as you don't want that losing mentality to set in.

The lads showed the right attitude and just kept working hard with the belief that we would stop the rot, and that was what

happened.

We are a fairly young side so all the experiences are valuable, whether they be losing or winning ones. The squad want to grow together and we know that we can build on some good displays.

The second team are still unbeaten so hopefully Mark's men can carry their form right through until the end of the season.

Hopefully Adam Lyth can turn his England form around. If he can get past the new ball against Australia then I'm sure he can make big runs. We will all be rooting for him and the England team who need to puts things right against the Aussies, and quick!

John McGuinness in action at last year’s Gold Cup

Picture by Andy Standing/words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk POPULAR Oliver’s Mount competitor John McGuinness will be looking to go one better at this year’s Gold Cup.

The Morecambe-born ace has confirmed his entry for the competition which takes place in Scarborough on September 12 and 13.

John is an Isle of Man TT Mountain Course lap record holder and 23 times TT winner.

At last year’s Gold Cup he finished second in the feature race but will be hoping he can clinch top spot on his EMC Honda.

John said: “I always enjoy competing in Scarborough and am looking forward to what should be an exciting Gold Cup.” For ticket information on the Gold Cup at Oliver’s Mount visit: www.oliversmountracing.com or www.auto66.com or ring 01723 373000.

Rep game abandoned Danny Jenkinson

THE Scarborough League select team fixture against Scarborough Athletic at Silver Royd on 18 July was abandoned after 72 minutes when Danny Jenkinson of Newlands Park suffered a broken leg in an accidental collision.

The game was keenly contested with Boro taking a first half lead through Tom Corner, and the League team equalising when Edgehill’s Dean Craig scored from the penalty spot. A healthy crowd of 482 watched the game, including many former Boro players and officials attending the Scarborough FC re-union in the Silver Royd clubhouse.

Teesside boost for Challenge Cup

WITH the Teesside League reverting to a single division, there will be no Teesside League second division clubs entering the North Riding Saturday Challenge Cup this coming season, leaving the way open for local league teams to make their mark on the completion. Edgehill and West Pier have won the competition in the past, and last season Newlands Park reached the semi-finals before going down 4-2 to Teesside League second division side Boro Athletic.

Newlands take on pier in Kitty Cook Trophy

SEAN Mancrief ’s Newlands Park who last season won the District League and League Cup double, will play league runners-up West Pier in the traditional pre-season Kitty Cook Trophy fixture at Seamer Sports on Monday, 31 August, kick-off 6-15pm. Newlands Park won the trophy last season beating Edgehill, while West Pier are also former winners, beating Ryedale Sports three seasons ago.

goLFINg REVIEw BY DERRICK ARDEN Bowman bags Presidents North and South enjoy mixed pairs event Prize Putter accolade Geoff Bowman (centre) receiving his Prize Putter from the Club President Derrick Arden and his wife Pamela.

NORTH CLIFF held their Presidents Weekend in fine weather but with a testing breeze for the players to contend with, especially on the Sunday. The ladies got proceedings under way when two of them Clare Ellard (4) and Janet Brown (21) handed in scores of net 71. Clare edged it on the count back to win the Ladies Presidents Putter whilst Janet took the prize for the best gross from the rest of the field. Christine Toulson (31) and Marilyn Rennard claimed the second and third net prizes. On Saturday the juniors took centre stage and again two players came in with the same score, this time it was George Bell and Thomas Duck who both had 38 stableford points. After the

count back George emerged as the winner of the Junior Presidents Putter to leave Thomas as the runner-up. In the mixed pairs competition Brian Messruther partnered by Debra Haith took first prize just holding off the challenge from Graham & Christine Toulson. The gents took to the field in force on Sunday with 155 members teeing up in what proved to be difficult blustery conditions nevertheless the competition for the Gents Presidents Putter was fierce. The leading score was net 67 and there were four tied on that number so once again the count back was the decider. The winner, after gaining a reputation over the years of always being a bridesmaid, turned out to be Geoff Bowman (12). After a front nine of nine over par things were not looking great for Geoff but a magical back nine of two under par gross that included four birdies ensured it was his turn to celebrate. The Division One net prizes were claimed by Chris Walker (11) on net 67 and Martin Laidler (6) with net 68 and in Division Two first place was taken by Lee Pickup (15) with Dan Cooper (16) in second placed both of whom posted net 67.

Best Gross prize went to Dave Raybould (3) with a level par round of 72 which in the conditions was an excellent round.

Players from North & South Cliff who participated in the match South Cliff travelled across town recently

Ruby leads team to success in Filey competition FILEY Golf Club held their Hospital Cup competition which is a Mixed Open AM-AM in which both a lady and gent have to score on every hole. The blustery conditions didn’t affect the Filey golfers but many of the 25 visiting teams who entered found the conditions difficult.

The winners were Lady President Ruby Turnbull, Maureen McKaig, Jony Pickard and Dan Barnes with an excellent 84 points. In second place were Lady Captain Jenny Davis, Mrs C. Mitchell, Andre

Kelley loses out on Yorkshire title

FRASER Kelley made it through to the Yorkshire PGA Matchplay Championship Final after some great displays, especially in the semi-final when he ended the hopes of James Freeman, Owsten Hall 2&1. In the final Fraser faced the very experienced Aaron Wainright from Mid-

to compete against near neighbours North Cliff who hosted the annual mixed pairs friendly fixture, and once again the match proved to be a popular and enjoyable occasion. Whilst the game was played in a relatively competitive manner the post match meal and banter were the highlights of the day. For the record North Cliff recorded a rare victory in this event and Alan Baldwin the South Cliff Captain duly “loaned” the Trophy to Paul Helliwell his North Cliff counterpart until the return fixture at South Cliff next year.

won the seventh, a par from Aaron on the ninth was good enough to take the hole and leave him four up at the turn. After the players teed off at the 10th the weather intervened to the extent that play was suspended for some 20 minutes, until the rain abated a little, after which Fraser won the hole. Unfortunately for Fraser the delay did not put Aaron out of his stride as he then went on to win both the 11th & 12th holes to go five up and two halves at 13 & 14 meant victory for the Mid-Yorks man by 5&4.

Harrison claims Cock o’ the North title on new machine

Words & pictures by Andy Standing

IT was a challenging weekend for the organisers of the annual Cock O’ the North meeting. Legal issues meant the event had to be cut to a single day’s racing with Saturday giving fans the chance to wander round the paddock and meet the riders.

With a packed day on Sunday the last thing that was needed were delays and things didn’t get off to the best of starts with the practice session being delayed due to a huge downpour. Thankfully the rain passed and the track started to dry in time for qualifying.

The lightweights and super lightweights got the racing underway with the dark clouds gathering once more. Tyre choice was going to be critical as there were still damp patches around parts of the circuit and rain clouds were gathering overhead.

Whilst some riders opted for the safety of a full wet set up Ivan Lintin was bold in his choice of full slicks.

James Cowton took the early lead, Jamie Coward held second with Lintin in third but as Lintin’s tyres warmed up he soon overhauled Coward and Cowton. The rain held off and Lintin took a comfortable victory by over 24 seconds from Driffield’s Cowton. Alistair Howarth took the spoils

in the super lightweights from Dan Frear.

Race two saw Daley Mathison on pole position in the senior race but it was Lintin, riding the RC Express Kawasaki ZX10R, that was fastest from the line.

Mar Train’s Dean Harrison held second, Mathison third and Lee Johnston in fourth. Harrison finally got the better of Lintin to take the win with Johnston overhauling Mathison to take third.

Next on the grid were the Classic F1 and F2 bikes. Jamie Coward took the honours on the Mistral Racing Kawasaki ZXR750.

Paul Owen took the F2 win.

The junior race was red flagged early on after a coming together at Mountside hairpin. From the restart Dean Harrison took the race by the scruff of its neck giving the new Yamaha R6 its debut win.

Ivan Lintin chased hard throughout but pushed a little too hard on the final lap, slipping off at Mountside. Lee Johnston took advantage of Lintin’s slip to finish second and Tom Weedon took third, both riding Triumph Daytona 675s.

The sidecars lined up for race five which turned out to be the final race of the day.

Ian and Carl Bell led from start to finish and won by 15 seconds from Conrad Harrison and Lee Patterson.

Unfortunately one of the sidecars spilled a large amount of oil down the bottom straight and into farm bends and despite the best efforts of the marshalls it couldn’t be made safe enough to race. The organisers had to make the tough decision to call a halt to the day’s racing. Whilst the spectators were left disappointed, there was no doubt that rider safety was paramount.

On a brighter note for the Auto 66 club, 23 time Isle of Man TT winner, John McGuinness confirmed his attendance at the Gold Cup meeting in September.

James right at home in the race for success Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH'S James Tadman is looking to race to the top after making his Oliver's Mount debut this year.

James, 22, who is from the Newlands area, started racing at the age of 16, and after featuring in the Spring Cup at his famous home-town course, the former Northstead and Scalby School pupil is hungry for more.

James said: “It was amazing to be up at the Mount alongside some of the best riders there are. It was also brilliant that other local lads like James Neesom and Nick Anderson are part of the group.

International engine of the year 2015

TRADITIONALLY, the 1-litre to 1.4-litre category at the International Engine of the Year Awards has been pretty easy to predict. After all, a single engine has routinely dominated the competition for the last nine years. Which makes it all the more impressive that PSA Peugeot Citroën’s 1.2-litre turbocharged threecylinder development has raced to victory in 2015, clinching first place by almost 70 points and forcing Volkswagen’s category-dominating 1.4-litre TSI Twincharger unit into second place.

Designed and produced in France, PSA’s triple motor boasts a high-output turbocharger (spinning up to 240,000rpm) and impressive low-rev power and torque – 95% of the engine’s torque is available from 1,500 to 3,500rpm.

And the OEMs substantial investment in the PureTech family, which totals more than US$960m, has also yielded engines that deliver in terms of emissions reduction. The 110ps turbocharged engine variant, for example, emits just 96g/km of CO2.

Not only has the PureTech turbo ended

Volkswagen’s dominance in the category, but PSA’s well-received three-cylinder powerplant also struck a chord with many members of this year’s judging panel, winning them over with its blend of performance and efficiency.

“Three cylinders are increasingly the way to go for compact cars, and PSA’s turbo triple is a particularly responsive yet economical engine that’s a delight to live with,” enthused freelance journalist John Simister, echoing the sentiments of many on this year’s panel. “Without turbo lag, this threecylinder gives a lot of power and perfect torque at very low revs, with a harmonious noise throughout the whole range. And the consumption is very low,” agreed L’Automobile Magazine’s Christophe Congrega. “The new PureTech engine from PSA is a revelation in terms of refinement, performance and efficiency,” stated German journalist Thomas Imhof. “Just like Ford, PSA shows what’s possible with only three cylinders.”

Test drive now the Peugeot 2008 Crossover with Pure Tech engine at Minstergate Peugeot on Seamer Road.
