INSIDE THIS MONTH…

AN ACToR from Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre is rounding up leading names from British theatre for a refugee benefit show.

Emma Manton, who was in Confusions and Hero’s Welcome at the SJT over three months last year, has persuaded nine actors to take part in the show, at the National Theatre in London on 14 February.

Moving Stories will feature Maxine Peake, James Bolam, Hattie Morahan, Andy Nyman, Rufus Hound, Noma Dumezweni, Ray Fearon, Adjoa Andoh and zubin Varla. They will perform new work written for the occasion by Richard Bean, Staten Cousins-Roe, Stephanie Dale, David Edgar, Katherine Jakeways, Phil Porter, Michelle Terry and Jenifer Toksvig. Maxine Peake said: “I am supporting this event as everything that can be done to help and support the refugee crisis must be done. I hope events like this will encourage the powers that be to allow more refugees a home and sanctuary in our country”. The proceeds will go to the united Nations Refugee Agency. Emma told Scarborough Review that she was inspired to organise the benefit after watching the plight of refugees on TV. Her fundraising efforts began with entering the London marathon on 24 April. Then she hit upon the idea of curating a theatre show and it snowballed. Emma, 37, joined Scarborough Athletic Club last summer and got the running bug. Last year, she completed the Great North Run and the Race for Life marathon. (continued on page 6)

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

SCARBoRouGH FREE Community has been set up in the town to give people the opportunity to support one another. And the group holds a Free Community Market every second Saturday of the month at the Filling Station based at The Street on William Street Coach Park.

At the markets people can take along their unwanted clothes, toys, books and household goods and pick up something themselves too all free of charge. organiser Jayne Coyne explained: “We created this group so that people in the community could get together and share skills and items all free of charge and help one another. “The markets have been going very well and it is great to be based in The Street which is a hub of community activity. We welcome anyone to come along and bring their items, although you don't have to give something in order to be part of it.” There is a Facebook page for the group under Scarborough FREE Community where members can share ideas for events etc. Jayne added: “We are not a charity or fundraising group but just people who want to help one another in what can be very hard times for people both financially and socially. It is all about community spirit.” The next Free Community Market takes place at The Street on Saturday February 13 between 10am-2pm.

The return of Kieran Halpin by Dave Barry

IRISH folk singer Kieran Halpin returns to Scarborough on Sunday 7 February, for a gig at the Cask. If the measure of a songwriter is the number of artists singing their songs, then Halpin must be considered one of the greats. There can be few writers on Europe’s folk scene who have had more songs covered. Halpin, who has performed in Scarborough many times, has recorded 18 albums and a live DVD.

EDITOR PETE SPENCE

SCARBoRouGH people who want to help shape the transformation of the town’s market can now have their say at the click of a button. Partners behind exciting £2.7m plans to overhaul the market have launched an online survey to get views on its future. They want to hear what local residents and businesses want from the new market and a new online market that is also part of the proposals. People can make their views known via the online survey at: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ ScarMarketAndVaults The feedback they get will feed into the process of creating a fresh and vibrant new market for the town. Everyone who completes the survey has the chance to win a £25 voucher to spend at the market. Councillor Bill Chatt, Scarborough Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Public Health and Housing, said: “This is a rare opportunity for us to transform Scarborough market and create something new and attractive for our residents, businesses and visitors. “It is really important that we

hear everyone’s views on what they want from a local market and what they want to see us create.” Scarborough Borough Council and the university of Hull are partners in the transformation project, made possible thanks to a £2.7m grant from the Coastal Communities Fund, administered by the Big Lottery Fund. The historic market building is to get a complete makeover, during which a new mezzanine floor will be added, to create space for new shops, offices and a café. The physical alterations will be joined by two exciting online projects. The university of Hull is creating an online market, a virtual Scarborough market on a single website, with lots of different traders, but one pay point. It is also creating an online market intelligence system. This will be an invaluable source of data and analysis of key trends and influences on the local business environment. It will help those running businesses or considering setting up a business in and around Scarborough.

Tricky shout for lifeboat Archbishop walks his in lumpy sea at night way into Brompton and Wykeham Safely back in the harbour (photo by Mick Bayes)

By Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry

A fire in the engine room of a large container ship, in rough seas 11 miles offshore, was a tough call for Scarborough RNLI. The Arnarfell, sailing from Iceland to Immingham, called the coastguard when its main generator caught fire, about 11 miles north-east of Scarborough. The all-weather lifeboat (ALB) had already been at sea on exercise for an hour and had to return to base for a fresh crew before setting off at about 6.30pm.

The ALB took about an hour to plough through big waves en route to the Arnarfell, in frequent rain which created poor visibility. The lifeboat stood by for an hour and a half while the Arnarfell’s fire crew fought the blaze, in case the crew needed evacuating. Fortunately, they didn’t. At 9.13pm, Arnarfell’s status was recorded on the Marinetraffic website as having “restricted manoeuvrability” as it continued its journey south. The Arnarfell, registered in the Faeroe Islands, was built in 2005. It weighs 8,830 tons unladen and is 137m long and 27m wide. The lifeboat returned to the harbour at about 10pm. Lifeboat coxswain Tom Clark’s crew were Dave Horsley, Wave Crooks, Lee Marton, Dave Jackson and Heath Samples. The deputy launching authority was Steve Jones.

THE Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu visited Brompton and Wykeham as part of his six-month Pilgrimage of Prayer, Witness and Blessing across the Diocese of York. The Archbishop was walking a sizeable distance each day from the coast, over moor and dale, along highways and byways, through both rural and urban communities and across an area which spans the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. His aim was to meet people, pray with them, and to encourage them to follow Christ, and bless what God is doing. He baptised a girl, Amelia Florence Jones in a brook at Ruston. Archbishop Sentamu said: “My prayers have led me to this pilgrimage. St Paulinus, St Aidan, St Cuthbert and St Hilda of Whitby in their time shared the good news of Jesus Christ with the people of the North. Praying for those who come to know Christ is a great privilege and a joy. “During this pilgrimage, I would like to encourage everyone I meet to commit themselves afresh to try praying, be open to encountering Jesus Christ, pray for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and receive the gift of the joy provided by

Jerry said: “It was a privilege to meet one of the most powerful men in the church and to be able to walk with him on his pilgrimage. It was a great day for everyone involved.”

Garden centre digs deep to support charities Picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

EVERY year Dean’s Garden Centre staff nominate a Charity of the Year and in 2015 it was Candlelighters, Martin House Hospice and Anthony Nolan that were chosen. The customers and staff at York and Scarborough raised the wonderful amount of £22,029.70 including a £2,500 donation from the Partners of the business. The customers and staff did this by holding various fundraising events throughout the year including a Tea Party, Second Hand Book Stall and Santa’s Grotto. Laura Parsell from Anthony Nolan said: “We can’t thank Dean’s Garden Centre Scarborough enough for their fantastic support of Anthony Nolan over the last year, raising almost £10,000 for our lifesaving work! The money raised

will enable us to recruit more potential donors to our register and facilitate more lifesaving transplants; making a huge difference to the lives of people with blood cancer. “We are so grateful for to all the staff and customers for their enthusiasm and generosity and hope everyone is really proud of themselves for raising such a fantastic amount.” The Partners at Dean’s Garden Centre added: “We would like to thank our customers and suppliers for their continued support throughout the year and also thanks to all the staff at Dean’s Garden Centre, York and Scarborough, who helped to raise this magnificent amount.” Dean’s Garden Centre, at both York and Scarborough, has chosen to support the British Heart Foundation in 2016.

Hospice fundraiser Special treat for day to Colour the Coast care residents Left to right, friends Fran Davenport and Grace Rook

By Krystal Starkey

THE FIRST colour run ever to be held on a Yorkshire beach will take place in Filey on 7 May. Hundreds are expected to enter the madcap dash along the sands where runners will be pelted with a rainbow of coloured powder. The Colour the Coast event is open to everyone, including accompanied children

from five years old, and will raise essential funds for Saint Catherine’s. People can go at any pace they like throughout the course. Saint Catherine’s hospice fundraiser Penny Campbell said they hoped to draw a big crowd. “These events are fabulous fun and very popular with people of all ages,” she said. “They’ve been held all over the country in parks and open spaces but having ours on Filey beach with such an amazing backdrop will make it even more special.” 200 early bird tickets are expected to be snapped up fast and the price will then rise from £12 to £14.50 for children and from £17 to £19.50 for adults. Participants will also be encouraged to collect sponsors with all money raised going to hospice care. n People can register now for an early bird place before on-line registration opens later this month.

Humpback whale visits Scarborough

The Scarborough Community Choir

VISITORS at Orchard House Day Care enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment from the Scarborough Community Choir who performed a great foot tapping array of songs for the appreciative audience. The event was organised by Sam Colin whose mother Lilly Burns is a regular visitor to Orchard House and June Stephenson co-owner. Scarborough Ladies Rugby Union team, the Valkyries, also made an appearance and donated lovely cakes they baked for the afternoon tea that followed. June said: “In all we had over 60 people at the event, many of the individuals we support are socially isolated as a result of illness or disability, so it’s a real tonic for them and a pleasure for us to get community groups involved at Orchard House.” Sam Conlin added: “It was a lovely afternoon and it seemed like all the

You don’t have to go abroad to see big whales - if you are lucky and in the right place at the right time. A humpback whale was recently spotted by bird watching and wildlife enthusiasts Graham and Will Scott, off Burniston, heading north. These fantastic baleen whales are occasional visitors to the North Sea as their food, the herring, moves around. The last time humpbacks were spotted near our coast was in the summer of 2014, from a

Humpbacks measure 11.5-15m, with a flattened head and fleshy tubercles, or lumps, on the top. The dorsal fin is usually small or insignificant, situated about two thirds of the way down the back, with a grey back and white undersides. You will often see either a bushy blow or raised tail fluke as the whale dives. Although you would have to be lucky to see a

All money raised will be to buy food vouchers for local elderly next Christmas. We can not thank you all enough. Just goes to prove what smashing bunch of folk we have here in sunny Scarbados. Well done all! Kind regards

Dear Editor

FOLLOWING two days in the care of the NHS - that included being taken to hospital by ambulance from my GP and being admitted through A & E - I just want Tina Boden to say thank you to the doctors and nurses, and ambulance crew, who have cared for me. Scarborough A & E was packed with people but staff working under pressure kept smiling and doing their job. Ambulances were stacked outside while they waited to hand over the patient they had brought in. After nearly four hours in A & E, I was lucky enough to find myself in Lilac Ward at , one of the newest wards there. Four beds in a bay with a shower and toilet off it. Yes much of the hospital is old but this was lovely.

SR February 2016.indd 12

Queen. It was a one-off moment in my life and it was amazing to be able to share the experience through your newspaper. It was an excellent article and great photo so once again thanks.

Bryan Lawrence MBE

The only one thing that I have left the hospital feeling, however, is cross with some of my fellow human beings. I cannot believe how rude people are to those who care for them. The wards are understaffed with caring people working long shifts. We should be thankful for the care we get from the NHS, it's not the doctors and nurses fault that the revenue source, structure and management is screwed up in a lot of cases. My theory is if you can't be kind and considerate to the staff then you shouldn't be allowed to use the services. Every human deserves respect especially when they are caring for you and trying to make you better. So thank you to all who have cared for me, you are doing a great job working long shifts with lessening resources. I very much appreciate the fabulous service you have given me. Kind regards

Tina Boden

I appreciate that you may receive lots of requests from charities. Any help or support your organization can offer will make a difference to our work, over the next 5 years we aim to develop new activities and these need support. As chairperson of the group, I would like to thank all the people who have donated to DAG at events and also the businesses of the borough. I hope that DAG will continue to serve the borough for a long time to come

Dear Editor

THREE collections in aid of Martin House Children’s Hospice were held in the centre of Scarborough in the run-up to Christmas, raising a total of £1545.33 after costs. The collections were run in conjunction with the Scarborough Fair Collection of Lebberston, which provided a Fairground organ playing popular songs, including seasonal ones. The Scarborough Friends Group for Martin House were grateful to all the townsfolk and visitors who gave so generously to our local children’s hospice, which cares for over 400 families with a child with short life expectancy in the whole of North and West Yorkshire.

Dear Editor

Regarding parking, I have been having thoughts to help people shop in all areas of town. What if all the major car parks, ie Brunswick, NCP and the Council, all charged one price for, say, a five-hour park with a ticket that could be used on any of the car parks across town at a reasonable price so that people could shop at all areas without being put off by more minimum one-hourly charges or the risk

Ron O’Connor of getting a ticket if delayed back to their cars. I know the council wants people to use the park and ride which is good to keep cars out of town but the reality is that people who need to buy more than a couple of carriers of stuff need to bring their cars into town as it is not easy taking much back on a bus.

New health and Community furniture wellbeing scheme store has lots to offer launched

Deputy Mayor of Scarborough Cllr John Ritchie officially opens the Community Furniture Store Scarborough with staff and trustees in attendance

Words and photo by Dave Barry

Three organisations in the borough of Scarborough have been awarded funding to become pioneering health and wellbeing hubs. The Base in Scarborough’s old town, Spring Café in Hunmanby and Whitby’s Eastside Community Centre have each been granted £10,000. The money comes from a funding pot established by Scarborough Council, the County Council’s Stronger Communities programme and the Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group. The successful bidders will use the money to set up preventative health and wellbeing services in the heart of their communities, with the venues becoming places where information, advice and guidance are provided. With access to many services now available online, the hubs will have a strong digital focus and provide access to or training on - IT and new technologies. The pilot scheme marks a shift in how such services are delivered locally. It recognises that in many cases preventative services – those that stop residents turning up at accident and emergency or a GP surgery with conditions that could have been avoided through earlier intervention – can be provided through existing local organisations that are already used and trusted by the community. The services on offer will vary across the three pilot areas but are likely to include:* Bespoke IT training sessions for over 50s to enable them to take advantage of the social and economic benefits of being online; * Free health checks and blood pressure monitoring; * Health information sessions around various common conditions such as diabetes, asthma, cardio-vascular disease;

Brighten up the winter gloom SR February 2016.indd 14

* Social wellbeing activities that bring the community together such as coffee mornings, book clubs, knit and natter sessions. The hubs pilot scheme is being overseen by the Digital Inclusion Partnership and is part of a wider campaign to break down the barriers of access to digital technologies for residents within the borough. Scarborough Council’s community regeneration officer, Matthew Joseph, who works with the partnership, said: “This model of delivering health and wellbeing activity takes into account the priorities which are unique to a particular community and puts existing, trusted organisations at the centre of decisionmaking. It’s not about the public sector setting the health and wellbeing agenda, but about giving communities the power and resources to shape that agenda where they live.” Cllr Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff, who chairs the partnership and holds the borough council’s portfolio for democracy, neighbourhoods and stronger and safer communities, said: “This is a real opportunity for the public sector to work with the trusted community organisations that do so much good work in our neighbourhoods and parishes. “By harnessing their local knowledge and commitment to their communities we will hopefully be able to see a range of muchneeded wellbeing services delivered in a more responsive way and achieve real value for money.” The three pilot hubs are due to be officially launched in March. Anyone wishing to know more about the scheme should contact Matthew Joseph on 07786 621924 or email matthew.joseph@scarborough.gov. uk.

Words and photo by Dave Barry

Scarborough Samaritans are to be run by the youngest director in the branch’s 45-year history. Rik Shore, 44, has been chosen by fellow volunteers to succeed Karen Edmonds on 1 February. Karen, who has served three years in the post, said: “Rik has come into it with massive support from the volunteers”. Rik is married with two children and works for Yell in Eastfield. He joined Samaritans eight years ago and has been heavily involved with training new volunteers at local and regional level. Rik is part of the Bridlington Samaritans

team which selects and trains prisoners to act as listeners at Humber prison near Hull. “Prisoners have a high rate of depression,” Rik explains. “One of the messages we need to get out is that our work isn’t just around suicide prevention,” Rik says. “We also do a lot of work with mental-health issues, trying to stop people getting to the point of suicide in the first place. “Mental-health issues in general and suicide in particular remain taboo and there’s still a lot of people we don’t reach, such as young men,” Rik says. “There are certain things people don’t like to talk about, which they feel uncomfortable about. “One of the messages we’ve been trying to get out as an organisation is that you don’t have to be suicidal to contact Samaritans.” Scarborough Samaritans are completely self-funding and depend on donations, bequests, fundraising events such as an annual golf day and the income generated by their charity shop in Hanover Road. * Samaritans recently introduced a freephone number: 116 123. * If you would like to volunteer for Samaritans, either as a listener or at the charity shop, ring the same number.

Friendly talk for Women’s Fellowship

Members in discussion at the talk PAM Walgate and Jan Cleary of the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery gave a talk to around 20 members of the Salvation Army Women's Fellowship. The talk was on the victims of the 10/12/1914 bombardment of Scarborough,

17 of whom are buried in the cemetery. It covered finding the graves, many of which were unmarked, the lives of the 18 people who were killed on that day and the commemoration of the centenary of the event in 2014. The bombardment graves are now all marked by a plaque and miniature red tulips have been planted on each of them to make it easier to find them as they are scattered throughout the cemetery. Jan Cleary said: “It was a pleasure to give this talk to the women who were all very interested in what had happened and is still happening within the cemetery and the history of the bombardment.” n For more on the friends group search for Friends of Dean Rd and Manor Rd Cemetery on Facebook.

Jack gets a boost from Scarborough uTC competition

Splish splosh splash! GRANDMA woke slowly. Peeping through the gap in the bedroom curtains she saw, at last, after days of rain, that the sun was shining. Grandma felt good. At last she could go out for a walk and look at the sea. Thinking about the sea suddenly made her wake up quickly. oh no! What had she done? She had promised to go today to South Bay, Scarborough, to take part in the New Year's Day Dip, organised by Scarborough Lions. She was going to swim in the very, very, very cold water. “That's not a good idea,” she thought. Grandma suddenly found she had a headache and a sore throat.“I can't swim today.“ “Come on,” said Grandpa. “You made a promise. The grandchildren are coming remember” and it didn't seem long before Grandma found herself on the South Bay beach, ready for swimming, dressed in a Chinese costume, with a wetsuit underneath. “It's too cold ,” she thought. “ I bet I'm the oldest swimmer here. I'm never doing this again!” More than a hundred were ready to plunge into the sea, many in fancy dress: Minions, Dennis the Menace, skeletons, nurses, dominoes and many more. Some in fancy dress won prizes. There were thousands of people watching. Grandma felt uneasy. Would everyone laugh at her, a grandma going in the sea? Grandpa and the grandchildren held her coat and a big, big towel, and her friend's coat, and a flask of coffee [with a bit of rum], and a camera. Grandma shivered, and then someone was talking to her. It was Paddy Billington! Grandma was on Yorkshire Coast Radio answering questions! She said, proudly, “I am doing this dip because I've never done it before and to raise money for charities. Everyone here is. A lot of money will be earned by all of us going in the sea, to help people and

groups who really need it.” Grandma smiled. “I've been on the radio! Paddy said I am brave. Let's get going. I'm ready!” Suddenly the Town Crier, David Birdsall, started counting down to the start,”Ten, nine ….” and on “zero”, all the dippers set off to plunge into the cold North Sea. Some sprinted to be first, some ran in quickly and straight back out again, and some, including Grandma, walked at first, then ran and started to swim. “Go Grandma go!” called out the grandchildren, jumping up and down with delight. “Yahoo!” shrieked Grandma. It was brilliant. Yes, it was cold, but her wetsuit kept her fairly warm. Grandma rolled around in the water like a dolphin at play and laughed and smiled and shrieked and screamed with joy. After about five minutes in the water, she made a glowing exit from the sea. “How's your headache and your sore throat?” a very proud Grandpa jokingly called out. “Well done Grandma!” shouted the grandchildren. “I loved that swim!” she said. Swigging her coffee [with a bit of rum], Grandma made her way to the Rowing Club for a shower and to get changed. It had been a brilliant day. Grandma was so glad she had kept her promise and couldn't contain her excitement. She said to the grandchildren, “Are you coming in with me next year?” “You bet we are!” © Joe Coates 2016. www.northbaytales.com

GRAHAM School pupil Jack Hardman has been given a big boost ahead of his switch to join the new Scarborough uTC in September. That is because the 15-year-old won won a competition by the new education institute to win an iPad Air 16gb wifi courtesy of Altodigital. The online competition was part of a scheme called Bring Your own Device which is encouraging students studying at the new college to take their own devices with them to help them achieve their desired grades. Jack said: “I am delighted to have won the competition and it is something that will come in very useful for me when I start my design and engineering course at Scarborough uTC, which I am really looking forward to.” Del Gunton of Altodigital added: “We were delighted to get involved with this competition and congratulations to Jack. We hope the iPad is a big bonus for him going forwards.” Scarborough uTC Principal Tim Englefield said: “Well done to Jack and we look

Nine-year-old George Pickering who designed his very own Pie Face game forward to him joining us in September. I am sure he will get a lot of use from this.” Jack was awarded his prize at a Scarborough uTC open event which took place at Scarborough Campus on Filey Road. The next event of this kind will be held on Tuesday February 9 between 4.30-6.30pm.

GALLOWS CLOSE CENTRE IN SCARBOROUGH HOSTED ITS 2016 SHINE AWARDS TO CELEBRATE THE WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE WAS INVITED ALONG TO CAPTURE ALL THE ACTION. GALLOWS Close residents have worked closely with community and environmental charity Groundwork over the last few years to regenerate the centre and local area. The evening honoured the contributions made by locals to bring the Gallows Close community of Scarborough together. The event was hosted by Yorkshire Coast Radio’s Paddy Billington and was attended by Cllr Tom Fox Mayor of the borough Scarborough, and Mayoress, Mrs Ros Fox. Groundwork’s Kimmie Avison, who is based at Gallows Close Centre, said: “The residents have worked hard in recent years to make Gallows Close a vibrant, safe and caring place to live. These awards recognise the determination of just some of those amazing individuals.” One of those sponsors was Sanctuary Housing who Groundwork and Gallows Close Centre have worked with for a number of years. Sanctuary Housing sponsored the Charity Fundraiser award, which was scooped by Mick Ingle. The Young Person of the Year award, sponsored by Newby and Scalby Parish Council, was presented to Lucy Faunt. An additional Young Person of the Year award was sponsored by Alderman Sheila Kettlewell and given to eight-year old Alfie Thomas for his bravery. Alfie found his mum unconscious and called the

emergency services for an ambulance for her. Caroline Metcalfe won the Tyrosponsored Shine Award for volunteering at Gallows Close Centre to support other locals. Despite serious health problems Caroline volunteered over 100 hours of her time last year. The Sporting Hero award, sponsored by Caddies in Barrowcliff, was won by jujitsu instructor Anthony Prior. The award for Community Pride went to Billy Whitehead, who works hard in all weathers to ensure the estate stays clean and tidy. Barrowcliff Residents Association sponsored the award. The woman behind a multi-sports group for under-18’s at Barrowcliff School, Sam Harriman, won the Best Community Project award. The group is popular among residents as it provides a safe haven for the young children on the estate. Twin sisters Annie and Rosie Kendall were presented with the Spirit of Youth award, sponsored by Big Local, for their tireless efforts to support the children and families who attend the Thursday Play sessions at the centre. The Caring Hero award, sponsored by Yorkshire Coast Homes, went to Daniel Begg who is a regular visitor to the centre, checking residents are okay and helping out whenever needed.

Have your say on mental health stigma by Dave Barry

The stigma of mental health will be tackled on Time to Talk Day on 4 February. The aim is to get as many people as possible across England talking about mental health, to show that these conversations don't need to be difficult. The conversations can be with friends and family, in the workplace, at school or in the local community. Participants will be able to log their conversations on an interactive online map so the organisers can see which county has the most conversations. Led by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, Time to Talk is England’s biggest programme to challenge mental health stigma and discrimination. A spokesperson said: “We know that,

SR February 2016.indd 22

although mental health problems affect one in four of us each year, many people are afraid to speak about their experiences because they worry they will come up against negative reactions or be treated differently. “That's not right, and it's why we want to share people's experiences and break down stigma.” Experiences can be shared anonymously in a short survey on the website time-tochange.org.uk.

Watermark, in Scarborough’s north bay, has closed for refurbishment. It is the culmination of nearly two years’ work at the popular seafront café. The owners have almost doubled the size of the building, extending at the rear, into

the hillside. During the closure, internal walls will be removed and made good. The kitchen will be moved from the front towards the back. If everything goes according to plan, the café is expected to reopen towards the end of February.

Industry awards hot up By Krystal Starkey

A FINAL call has been issued to heating installers across Yorkshire, as there are now only four weeks remaining to enter the Heating Installer of the Year Awards with the deadline being on 12 February.

Voted for by the public, the overall winner will be revealed at the National Heating and Plumbing Show, Installer2016, which will take place in May at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena.

Chris Ingram, managing director of headline sponsor Continental Underfloor, explains: “The response we’ve received from plumbers and heating installers so far across Yorkshire and the Humber has been brilliant, but there is still ample opportunity to enter the awards – this is a chance to shine. To enter, installers should visit www.hiawards-2016.org.uk and fill in the short form.

AN INTERVIEW WITH Lulu LULU, YES…LULU TALKS TO KRYSTAL STARKEY ABOUT MUSIC, BEAUTY AND HER NEW MOVIE...

Lulu is perched on an ofﬁce chair in a back room in Fenwick’s store in York, having arrived ﬁve minutes before me. She’s still applying mascara whilst holding a small compact mirror. Her Time Bomb beauty range is the topic of conversation for Lulu, yet music is never far from her mind! Since her debut single ‘Shout’ Lulu has enjoyed success in the music industry for over half a century. “Fifty years, I can’t believe it myself. I only feel like I’m 15, the years go by and you think whoa where did they go?” she says.

about it, from hit singles, to winning the Eurovision to launching her own skincare range, she has been unstoppable. But what’s it really all about for her? “It’s the music that stirs my soul that makes my blood pump through my body.”

So that’s the star dressed… but what about her beauty regime?

“Everything that I do is in order so that I can sing and now I’m writing and you know I didn’t start (writing) until I was in my 40s.”

2016 is going to be another big year for Lulu:

“I’ve written for Tina Turner, Cher took a song, she actually didn’t do it in the end but she held onto it for two years.”

“I’m supposed to be playing myself. The whole premise of Ab fab is that there’s a woman called Adina and she is a PR, and for years I was her only client. I am ever her only client. And she basically screws everything up and she takes drugs and she drinks and wears insanely mad stupid clothes and her counterpart – her partner in crime is called Patsy – she’s played by Joanna Lumley. And Adina has a very straight laced daughter called Saffy who’s always trying to straighten her out. “

Lulu is in York today to promote her range of skin care products: Time Bomb. The range has had a real impact on her ‘getting ready time.’ Lulu couldn’t ﬁnd the right product for her skin so she made one!

You can buy Lulu’s Time Bomb range online at www.timbombco.com You can also watch her play a gig at Bradford St George’s Hall, Bradford as part of her 2016 tour on March 13th. Tickets are available from www. ticketmaster.co.uk

“I felt like the odd one, so what happened was I learned very fast that I had to become an expert. I had to become good. I had to work with experts, I had to track them down: people who did facials, people who did makeup, the best stylists and that’s really, that was a deﬁning moment”

Ab Fab: The Movie is due for release in 2016.

Lulu’s Time Bomb range is available to buy from Fenwick’s in York and online at www.timebombco.com

Lulu mentions in a matter-of-fact way that gorgeous women don’t know what to do beauty wise when they get older because they’re so used to being automatically glamorous.

Today she’s mastered the art of planning to look good. When you have to be on set for 6.15 in the morning there’s not a lot of time for getting ready. Lulu is in the middle of ﬁlming Ab Fab: The Movie. So how does she do it?

SR February 2016.indd 24

“I’m doing the Ab Fab movie.”

What’s with the explanation? I have to confess to Lulu I’ve never watched Absolutely Fabulous. I put it on my list of things to do.

“When you’re a 15 year old and you come into the music business in the ‘60s and everybody to me looked like they were blonde, tall, skinny and beautiful. All the bands went out with models. I felt like the ugly duckling.”

Lulu the teenager was not conﬁdent: “I think all teenagers are insecure and I had very spotty skin because I had very greasy skin and I had to look at myself on a big screen. Can you imagine how torturous.”

But her grandchildren, one boy and one girl, share her love of music too: “They get in the car and it’s immediately “Nana, music?” I go what’s the special word? “Please Nana?” And then the ads come on and they’re like “NANA, MUSIC!” and I’m like it’s an ad what am I gunna do?”

“I plan. I can’t think what I’m wearing at that time in the morning I haven’t got time, I wanna roll out of bed, in the shower, boom boom boom. So I plan what I’m going to wear in advance. I do what my granddaughter calls fashion shows.”

We chat about her beauty trials and tribulations of the past. Lulu was a brave teenager – moving from Glasgow to London when she was just 15 but it seems she didn’t have much self-conﬁdence back then.

“I have a beautiful girlfriend who’s a movie actress and she has no idea how to use a hairdryer, she cannot hold it - she cannot hold a round brush. I’m like GIVE-IT-TO-ME. She has no idea.” she adds.

me in on what they got up to yesterday which involved chocolate, a park visit and watching the ﬁlm Madagascar.

“I got to my mid-40s and I thought, my God, the signs of aging are really there. And I was shocked ‘cos I thought I was invincible and it would never happen to me.” "The John Frieda Company have got a 28 year legacy of solving women’s problems so that team is top ﬂight, they are amazing. I have that team now." “So that’s really how this came about. I am part owner in a company that sells skincare, it just took off. From word one. We now sell out on QVC all the time. I travel to America, it’s in stores like Fenwick’s and Selfridges.” Lulu is a determined woman there’s no doubt

When I ask Lulu about her new album, Making Life Rhyme that came out this year she grins: “I got the best reviews I’ve ever had.” “And the songs are all self-penned, but that also comes from experience. You know, being able to talk about things that I may have been reticent to go into but I’m in a great place.” “It’s a fabulous time in my life. I’m not looking at what I haven’t got; I’m sort of looking gratefully at what I have got.”

The range includes skincare products to stop the signs of ageing as well as hair care and fragrances. Prices range from £5.50 from daily cleansing creams to £73 for 100ml over-night creams. There are also gift sets available. The skincare range aims to stop the following: - loss of sloughing ability - loss of moisture - loss of oil (sebum) - loss of collagen

When she’s not making or listening to music Lulu is a real family woman, the one thing she loves more than music are her grandchildren. She lets

we’ve got some hardy advice to see you through. It’s all about the prep, believe us. However, if all else fails there’s always ﬁre lighters....

• Use plenty of kindling: newspaper, thin dry twigs or thinly cut wood are all fi ne • Place scrunched up newspaper in a neat pile in the centre of your fi re place • Make a tee pee out of the thin twigs and kindling over the top of the newspaper • You DON’T need fuel, it’s extremely dangerous indoors • Light in a couple of different places using matches or a lighter • Once the fi re has been burning for a couple of minutes place a small to medium log (or a couple of handfuls of coal) onto the fi re • Once they have lit add a larger log •Voilà! A roaring fi re.

Had you heard about the lemon detox? The F-word can be pretty daunting. We get it, fasting requires a lot of dedication and the first couple of days can be hellish. We tried out the Lemon Detox using Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup to see just how difficult it can be. They recommend only doing three days if you’ve never fasted before, you can stretch to five days on your second time fasting. We had ago at the fast, where you drink 8 glasses of water mixed with the tree syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper a day. Fasting isn’t easy, Krystal set out with determination and lasted all of two days on the lemon detox. The drink itself was delicious and reminded us of a long island ice tea, she also lost 2lbs in the two days. The first day was easy, it was day two that got to us. You start to feel a little hungry and Krystal complained of headaches. You can opt in for yoga online too which really did create a feeling of wellbeing and was really relaxing. An impressive result, if only we could’ve done the whole five days... * Best served with a slice of will power.

IT’S GETTING

IN HERE

Chilli Chicken

the nights start getting lighter and summer peeps over on the horizon we look for something a little different to spice things up. This authentic chilli chicken recipe is easy to do, tastes great and looks gorgeous.

You will need: • 4 Kg Chicken • 2 Tsp Honey • Salt, Pepper • Chilli powder • Soy Sauce • 1 Kg Onions • 1 Kg Pepper (Serves 4)

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the onions in the oil for 5 mins until they become soft and start to colour. Add the chorizo and fry for a few mins more. Stir in the peppers, then pour in the tomatoes, followed by a can of water, the stock cubes, chilli and oregano.

Arrange the chicken on top of the sauce, pushing it under the liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, then cook in the oven for 40 mins. Add the beans, stir, then cook for 20 mins more. You can make this up to 2 days ahead and keep chilled.

A BERRY GOOD IDEA...

To serve, reheat on the top of the stove or in the oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 1 hr 10 mins until piping hot. Stir in most of the coriander, toss the rest with the avocado, lime and a little salt, then pile this on top. Serve with a bag of green salad tossed with cherry tomatoes and red onion.

MCDONALD’S LAUNCH CHOCOLATE COVERED CHIPS. The fast food retailer has introduced ‘McChoco Potatoes’ in Japan. The chips will be covered in two ﬂavours, Cacao and White Chocolate. In a news release on the McDonald’s web site it said: “The combination creates a wonderful salty and sweet harmonious taste.”

They’ve been hailed as a super food for quite some time now, rewarding their eaters with several health beneﬁ ts, but do you know which berries help what? Blueberries

Raspberries

The little purple balls of goodness are full of anti-oxidants, which can help prevent heart disease amongst other nasty ailments. A lesser known fact, which is talked about in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, is that a blueberry rich diet can help develop bone mass… Who’d have known?

Like the blueberry raspberries are high in anti-oxidants, they are also said to have anti-inﬂammatory properties too.

Strawberries Great for digestion, the high ﬁbre fruit not only helps with constipation it also has more vitamin c than oranges pound for pound.

Unfortunately there are no plans to bring the product to the UK, shame.

Cranberries Ah, our good old friend the cranberry. For those who suffer from water infections, these are a gift. They are packed with a group of ﬂavonoids (plant metabolites thought to provide health beneﬁts) which help block bacteria from sticking to human tissue. It’s not glamorous but it’s good to know. Prevention is better than cure.

This month we’re drinking:

The Baileys Honey Bee A crowd-pleasing combination of honey and whisky, with Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur.

M&S TO SELL MINI AVOCADOS Dubbed to be the most instagrammed food of all time, the humble avocado will now be sold in a miniature size at Marks and Spencer. The fruit, which is grown in Spain, weighs around 60 grams and is about half the size of an average avocado. Sally Sharp, M&S produce expert, said: “ Its smaller size makes it ever tastier than a normal avocado with a deliciously creamy texture.”

GIN LOVERS, UNITE Gin Festival returns to York this year, but in a bigger venue than previous. The event, which will run from the 26 - 27 February will be held at The Ebor Stand, York Racecourse, Tadcaster Road. People can expect to see more master classes, more live music, and more gin with over 100 different gins set to be showcased. On arrival guests will be given a glass to take home and an information guide. The Gin Festival organisers said: “Throughout the event there will be live entertainment, talks from gin industry experts, food available to buy and lot’s of chit chat with other gin lovers. If you’re new to gin don’t worry, our friendly staff will recommend a few to get you going or tell you all about our favourites.” Drinks will be sold through drinks toekns, a card of 4 will cost £20

seven days a week, all home cooked and featuring their award winning sausages to afternoon teas, gammon and chunky chips and tasty burgers. Also this year the farm is being opened up to the public to get a closer look at the animals, all free of charge. Owner Ashley Tyson said: “We wanted to let people see the animals and be able to interact with them too. It will be great for the children because we have some lovely sheep, cows and pigs. We are also turning part of the big barn into a bit of a playground for youngsters with mini tractor rides and a bouncy castle. “It means parents can relax while their kids play in a safe environment. We are celebrating 50 years of the business being in the family and so wanted to give something back, which is why we are not charging for this. We want the farm to be a place where everyone can come and have a fun time.” n For more information visit: www.stepneyhillfarm.co.uk or ring 01723 373443.

The YMCA is celebrating after receiving support from Llyod Dowson, Chartered Accountants. Lloyd Dowson, who have offices in Scarborough and Bridlington, sponsored a fundraising show `Our House' and were able to support the purchase of new projection equipment for the YMCA. The projector has already been in use during several YMCA shows as well as being used by the young people who attend YMCA Productions and Y-Musical Theatre . David Dowson, Chairman of Lloyd Dowson said "We are delighted to have been able to support the young people at the YMCA and realise what a difference having this equipment has made to

enhancing the shows and the experience for those who are performing". Steve Marsh, Executive Director of Scarborough YMCA said "The help we have received from Lloyd Dowson has been exemplary. They understand and value the work we do to support local young people through sport, theatre, performing arts and volunteering, and we are enormously grateful to them." The YMCA receives no regular grant funding to help meet the costs of its work with young people therefore would love to hear from people who value their work and you would like to support them. n Details of forthcoming shows can be found on Scarborough YMCA's website, at www.ymcascarborough.uk.

Evie is a Radio Scarborough star Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

LITTLE Evie Holliday is a budding radio star of the future. The five-year-old Gladstone Road pupil has become a big hit ever since she took to the microphone on Radio Scarborough. And you can now tune into listen to Evie as she guests on Mark Sinclair's show every Friday.

Mark explained: “One afternoon Evie just came up to the studio and started waving through the glass at me – so I decided to get her on air. “I could not believe how natural and talented she was talking on the radio and absolutely no nerves at all. “She comes to gymnastics at The Street every Friday where our studio is based and now she has a regular little slot on the show, which is great.” Evie said: “I enjoy being on the radio and I like listening to the music and speaking to Mark about what I have been doing.” Mark was so impressed with Evie that he personally bought her a Radio Scarborough fleece jacket with her name on to feel part of the team. n Tune into Radio Scarborough by visiting: www.radioscarborough.co.uk

He will die if he doesn’t eat one red pill and one blue pill. How will he make sure that he only takes one of each? 2. A man stands on one side of a river, his dog on the other. The man calls his dog, who immediately crosses the river without getting wet and without using a bridge or a boat. How did the dog do it? Answer: 1. The man will need to break the pills in half one at a time and swallow one half of each pill. 2. The river was frozen.

SCARBoRouGH’S Maritime Heritage Centre officially reopens in new premises in March. After six years paying rent, the centre has moved into permanent premises of its own, across the road at 45 Eastborough. They will be opened by Lord Beauclark, whose ancestor was killed while trying to save survivors of a ship wrecked in a vicious storm in 1961, by the Spa. The peer, who was buried in Dean Road cemetery, was awarded a posthumous gallantry medal by the RNLI. A fundraising campaign, started in 2014, was supported by many local people including Maureen Robinson, Richard Guthrie, Sir Alan and Lady Ayckbourn, Boyes Stores, Scarborough Lions Club, the Albert Strange Association and IQ accountants. Two large national organisations helped: the Charity Bank and the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The new premises have a larger exhibition space along with a basement for the storage

of thousands of artefacts, photos and documents donated over the past six years. The HLF’s Sharing Heritage scheme awarded a £10,000 grant to install new display and storage equipment, to create a public research area, to train volunteers and to create new advertising materials. The centre’s president, Martin Johnson, said: “This is a great achievement for all concerned. The volunteers and supporters have worked really hard to achieve this and I am very proud to be a part of it”. over the past six years, the centre has welcomed over 15,000 residents, visitors and tourists. They have mounted over 20 exhibitions on subjects including ganseys, tunny and herring fishing, storms and shipwrecks, the RNLI, local connections to the Titanic, boat science, pirates and smugglers, superstitions, Graham sea training school, maritime art, the Royal Naval Patrol Service, WW1 and the bombardment of Scarborough, model ships and boats, the Sub Aqua Club, u-boat shipwrecks, and maps and charts.

The Maritime Heritage Centre The exhibitions won the Max Payne award for outstanding achievement and the mayor’s Big Thank You award for their “cultural and artistic contribution to the town” three times in a row. Volunteers have responded to hundreds of family and local history enquiries and given over 100 education outreach talks to community groups and schools. over 50 people have volunteered with the centre, gaining new skills and learning about the town’s history in the process. They have put on a heritage display at Seafest for the past six years. The centre has about 20 volunteers on its books at present; more are welcome. The centre’s mobile-friendly website gets over 5,000 views a week from around the world and was voted best maritime family history website by BBC TV’s Who do you think you are magazine in 2012. It contains a huge amount of information about Scarborough’s past. See www. scarboroughsmaritimeheritage.org.uk. The centre is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm. Entrance is free.

Exciting new future is the ‘icing on the cake’ for local business Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THINGS are looking sweet for The Icing Store and Imaginative Icing Cakes on Falsgrave in Scarborough. The Icing Store owner Local lady Karen Karen Vasey Vasey has taken over the running of the cake decoration and sugacraft supplies store, while Anthony Springall is continuing with the specialist made-to-order cake business from within the same premises. Karen said: “This is a very new and exciting challenge for me having only opened at the beginning of January. “I worked for the previous owner of Imaginative Icing, Janice Springall,

Anthony Springall from Imaginative Icing Cakes both on the shop floor and doing cake decorating for 25 years. Janice has retired after 30 years in the business and I am delighted to be able to take the business forward and keep the good reputation and quality which has been established.” The store offers supplies and decorations including icing, marzipan, boards, boxes,

cutters, ribbons, candles and lots more. Visit: www.theicingstore.co.uk to find out more.

Tales from the Cooler Water 36 - Scarborough Review, February- Issue 30

by Steve Crawford

I hope you all had a great Christmas and headed into the New Year feeling refreshed. We had some good waves over the holidays. As usual a lot of folks travelled to the coast to make the best of the surf. Even on Boxing Day, despite the horrendous weather, people braved the wet roads, rain, road closures and complaining in-laws to have fun in the sea. There were even a few folks out on Christmas Day, too - using the sea as an excuse to avoid doing the Christmas chores? The busiest day was December 27th, with 100's of surfers from all over the country coming to Scarborough on one of the best dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surf of the year. Many slightly pudgier people sporting mince pie and Christmas pudding bellies could be seen squeezing into suddenly too small wetsuits. Sorry if that dispels the myth of the sleek super fit surfer for anyone. Most of us are just averagely modest super fit examples of humanity. on the downside, Christmas Day, with the heavy rain and so many people at home, saw the worst water quality we've had in years. In the Scarborough area there were almost 70 incidents of waste

pipes discharging into the sea. As you can imagine, that is one hell of a huge amount of polluted water draining into our waves. These are just the pipes from south bay to the headland at the north end of North Bay I'm counting too, not the ones further afield. understandably, when people are at home cooking, washing up and using water it puts more strain on the system but after all the investment locally into our water system we really hoped for better. After all, seeing yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas dinner float past you in the sea definitely puts you off the left overs. If you want to learn more about our seas and what organisations like Surfers Against Sewage are doing to help, you can join our beach clean. We've one planned as part of the Coastival festival on the Saturday 13th February. The beach clean is starting at 12pm on the beach at South bay, on the south end past the Spa foot bridge. All ages welcome but under 16s must be accompanied by a guardian. All equipment is provided, just wrap up for the weather, put on some waterproof shoes and come on down. Beach cleans are a great way to meet new people, do some good and have a stroll on the beach. There are many other events

Time for some TLC in the garden!

THERE is no doubt that our gardens have taken a bit of a battering since Boxing Day with constant rain and now ice cold temperatures. Prior to this we experienced one of the mildest Decembers on record giving rise to shrubs and plants budding up and flowering two or three months in advance of normal expectations. So, it's time for some TLC in the garden - that's tender lawn care! Grass areas have suffered as much as anywhere in the garden standing in water for so long but there are steps you can take now to help the lawn recover ready for spring. Compaction is probably the first problem to tackle especially if there are puddles hanging about in the lowest lying areas. A good spiking with the prongs of a garden fork will help to open up the soil. Brush some sharp sand into the holes to help future drainage. The golden rule with any lawn work is

SR February 2016.indd 36

to stay off it if it is very wet or frozen. However, if you are keen to get out and get busy you could pay attention to squaring and tidying edges ready for summer. don't forget to work off a long board for a professional, straight edged finish. once the lawn has dried out and the weather begins to warm up in spring, think about a good lawn feed to replace all the nutrients lost in the downpour! High nitrogen feeds are needed in spring to boost strong growth but remember to swap to a high potash feed in late summer to help harden up the grass in preparation for winter. And, if after all this hard work you are still really keen for that bowling green finish, your lawn will thank you for being scarified- removing moss and thatch with a spring tine rake. This is, without doubt, one of the most gruelling tasks you will ever undertake in your garden but, take heart as you catch your breath and stretch those aching muscles. It will all be worth while when your neighbours begin commenting on the perfect green baize in your garden!

North-bay pier was town’s white elephant Words by Dave Barry

For 36 years, most of them in the 19th century, Scarborough’s north bay was bisected by a long pier. It was ill-conceived, poorly designed, plagued with problems and made little money for its investors. In the mid-19th century, the town was expanding and businessmen wanted to extend its reaches over the castle promontory, into the north side. Josiah Forster Fairbank had created the Rock Gardens tourist attraction on 10 acres between the top of the sloping cliffs and the seafront. Now he wanted to connect the two bays with a tunnel for horse-drawn vehicles and trams through the headland. He even persuaded the council to grant permission. But it never happened and the Rock Gardens closed. Pleasure piers, as opposed to working piers, became fashionable in the 1860s, when numerous resorts, such as Blackpool and Brighton, built theirs. Scarborough’s cost £16,000 (£1.3m today) and was constructed between 14 September 1866 and 1 May 1869. However, it was opened to the public on 17 August 1868, before the pier head was built. Punters paid a penny toll to promenade up and down, enjoying the exotic sensation of being at sea. Lined with benches, the structure was 1,000ft long and 23ft wide, with a pier head measuring 140x50ft. A wooden platform was supported by wooden piles and iron girders, bracing and columns. The official opening, on 5 July 1869, was a damp squib; a thunderstorm decimated the number of those expected to attend. By the early 1870s, shareholders were being paid small dividends but the company which owned the pier remained in debt. The pier needed frequent repairs, caused by storms. Fingers were pointed at architect Eugenius Birch, as the pier wasn’t high enough above the sea. He had misjudged the height of spring tides and the impact of stormy seas, committing the same mistake at Margate, Eastbourne, Blackpool and Brighton. As if that wasn’t bad enough, ships

occasionally rammed the pier accidentally, causing extensive and expensive damage. The doomed pier’s annus horribilis was 1883. Over a few weeks, two steampowered vessels collided with the north flank in dense fog. One was a locallyowned trawler which sailed straight into it. The other was a 750-ton beast which had crashed into another ship off Flamborough Head. It was towed to Scarborough by a tug which ran it aground on the beach. The incoming tide floated the big vessel and pushed it against the pier. Soon afterwards, a band shelter was blown off the pier head by a powerful gale and a yacht ploughed into the pier. Bankers pulled the plug on the beleaguered white elephant in 1888 and it was sold for £1,240. The London buyer splashed out another £4,000, erecting a new entrance with a big arch and 36ft turrets at either side. The pier head got a new pavilion, where Quinton Gibson, billed as ‘the greatest lady impersonator in the world’, ran variety shows. Other performers included the Great Duprez, dubbed ‘monarch of magicians and his educated dogs’, and Fred Percy, ‘the world’s greatest negro impersonator’. The final blows for the pier were struck by the merciless elements in the early 20th century. The combination of a high tide and a strong northerly gale played havoc with the decking and ironwork in November 1903. The death knell was sounded by a violent storm on 7 January 1905, when the whole pier was more or less swept away, leaving the heavy iron girders lying on the beach. The entrance building survived and was run as a concert hall until 1908. But then it fell into disrepair and the shabby, dilapidated structure was demolished by the council in early 1914. Like the wreck of the Vivid in the south-bay beach, the stumps of the wooden piles occasionally reveal themselves, when the tide runs a certain way. A ghostly relic of the town’s fascinating past.

group finally moved into the Temperance Hall in September 1966 and meetings began in earnest and with volunteer speakers they met fortnightly . As numbers increased the meetings became a weekly event each Monday from September to April excluding school holidays. For 44 years Scalby Wives used the facilities of the Temperance Hall in exchange for a donation in lieu of rent to the Methodist Church but by 2010 it was no longer viable so on 4 October 2010 Scalby Wives moved into St Lawrence’s Church Rooms. The group then was no longer affiliated to the Methodist Church Scalby Wives has gone from strength to strength with a membership now of about 50 and there has been a huge variety of talks, demonstrations and visits over the years with several favourites making a return visit As the years went by the group, without originally planning it, began to generate a small profit and so each year at the AGM suggestions for donations are made by all members and a large number of local charities have benefitted. Well over £20,000 has been raised and distributed. Group Vice-President Doreen Brooke said: “It is a credit to Betty Elliott for the success of Scalby Wives as in January 1966 sitting in her front room with a few friends she would never have dreamt that 50 years later she would be celebrating such a wonderful occasion with a group of ladies who enjoy the interest and companionship of the weekly meetings.”

THE Scalby Wives Group celebrated their 50th anniversary in January and Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence was invited along to join in the celebrations. The party took place at their St Lawrence’s Church Room base and included some of the original founder members of the group including Muriel Leadley and Val Crosby. Unfortunately one of the key founder members Betty Elliott, was unable to attend due to being poorly. Years ago The Temperance Hall in Scalby Village was used as the local library but In 1966 a new one was built on Scalby Road. At that time the Minister of Scalby Methodist Church was Rev Bill Dagg and he was due to leave the Parish. He wanted to set up a group for the young wives of Scalby before he left and thought that the Temperance Hall would be an ideal venue if he could negotiate a peppercorn rent. So he approached local Betty Elliott and asked if she would consider not only initiating such a group but holding the meetings in her house until such time as a deal could be arranged for the use of the Temperance Hall . So in January 1966 at 37 Hackness Road Betty opened up her home for the inauguration of what was then known as Scalby Young Wives. Along with sisters Val and Edith and friends Muriel and Brenda the first meeting was held. Following talks with the Church this small

THE HUGE three day Scarborough event will kick off with a seafront parade on 12 February. Crowds along Scarborough seafront will see Northern Ireland based organisers, Spraoi, recreate the epic expedition to the South Pole, led by Ernest Shackleton, and titled Polar Quest. After the spectacular seafront parade, Coastival, which runs from 12 – 14 February, will unfold into a chain of over 100 events spanning from music and theatre to fine art and installations while making sure to entertain children too. A majority of them will be free. Rock band Cast will headline the music offering with a concert at the Spa Grand Hall on the evening of 12 February, supported by Two Skies. Popular saxophonist Snake Davis will play at the Spa on 13 February in the afternoon, followed by Asian Dub Foundation in the evening. For a mix of live music, DJs and VJs, The Engine Room will be set up in the Spa Sun Court Suite during Coastival weekend. Four brand-new art commissions will bring further excitement this year: ‘Wet Sounds Scarborough’ will see the audience dive into Scarborough Indoor

Swimming Pool to enjoy music, sounds and images under and above the surface. ‘The Prison Project’ will transform the disused prison off Dean Road, Scarborough, into Scarborough’s own Tate Modern, showcasing art work inspired by the prison. ‘A Light to Guide’ will be a lit story trail through the Spa gardens and South Cliff. ‘The Many Faces of Scarborough’ will be an art installation, with three large translucent heads giving participants the chance to see their own face animated, fully lip-synced, telling stories, recounting legends, and singing short songs about life in Scarborough. Rollercoastival will see two full days of creative activities for children. Coastival’s organisers, Scarborough-based arts development agency Create, say Coastival 2016 looks like being the most diverse and exciting event so far. Director Wendy Holroyd said: “We are delighted with the programme we have put together for Coastival 2016. In terms of diversity and the sheer range of different events, installations and exhibitions we will have on offer it is certainly the best event we have done.” n Tickets for all the concerts are on sale now via the Spa box office and Coastival website at www.coastival.com

Partnerships and relationships seem to be uppermost in your mind at this time, and while it is a period wherein greater depths of solidarity and harmony can be found in all affairs of the heart, it does rather depend upon the extent to which you can follow the lead provided by a partner, and to what extent you can be ﬂexible with your own ideas and agendas. You’re likely to feel resentful when you are told things that you do not want to hear – but just because you don’t want to hear them doesn’t mean they

are not true, and this is a time when you need to start looking at your mid and long term future with fresh eyes and an open mind. You cannot ride the same bike for ever if it’s got a buckled front wheel and you’ve got two broken legs! Make some greater effort to relax, do not increase your work load, and enjoy some pleasurable travel aspects that create some moments of top quality time, not only for your yourself, but also for spouses, lovers and partners.

PISCES

happening, you seem to be enjoying it. Romantic outlook is great and their will be a shift of emphasis in relationships as one relationship becomes ever more important. Some decisions looming on the work scene, and right now it looks as though heads you win, tails you win!

19TH FEB - 20TH MAR It’s one of those months in which the head will rule the heart and you will feel determined to keep a practical grip on the reins of your life. This discipline brings swift financial benefits (around the 10th) and the respect and admiration of other people. One member of the opposite sex will feel saddened by your lack of attention despite being the first to benefit from your success.

ARIES 21ST MAR - 20TH APR Despite the fact that a couple of New Year’s resolutions will have already crashed and burned, there’s just one or two that you are hanging on to. Other people will criticise you for being stubborn, but you will feel that this is the right time to make some sort of stand on a matter of principle, especially in connection with complicated family commitments.

TAURUS 21ST APR - 21ST MAY Career and business aspects are in the doldrums, so instead of trying to force fog through a keyhole, take a step backwards, re-examine strategies and priorities, and perhaps look for new inspiration from some old ideas. That which might have been impossible a couple of years ago, now becomes possible – if you still want it, of course!

GEMINI 22ND MAY - 21ST JUN Rather a confusing month with a number of conﬂicting issues and priorities demanding your attention. You cannot achieve everything at once, so take a step backwards, then proceed with a more methodical approach. You cannot be all things to all people, so work a bit harder at being true to yourself.

CANCER 22ND JUN - 22ND JUL What you lose on the roundabout you gain on the swing, so don’t be afraid of cutting a few corners and making a few calculated sacriﬁces. Don’t settle for the Moon, when with a bit more effort, you can capture the stars! Of course, there’s always someone who won’t approve of your methods and tactics, but this is their problem, not yours.

LEO 23RD JUL - 23RD AUG Quite a cheerful and successful month, and whatever is

SR February 2016.indd 39

VIRGO 24TH AUG - 22ND SEP New ideas tantalise and new pathways beckon, and this is not the month for playing it safe and doing things by the book. Looks like a busy and proﬁtable month on the work scene, but there is an element of boredom, and you may ﬁnd yourself playing it by the numbers until a spark of divine inspiration kicks you up the ladder around the 20th or 21st.

LIBRA 23RD SEP - 23RD OCT Some speciﬁc career/money success, in connection with the sixes – the 6th, or the 16th or the 26th, or a rolling thunder scenario which connects these three key dates. Reunions seem to be important, as do travel plans and successful test results, be they medical, mechanical, or academic. New banks for some, new accounts or deals for others.

SCORPIO 24TH OCT - 22ND NOV Singletons look like being overwhelmed by a new member of the opposite sex that suddenly moves into their circle, lighting some very sexy ﬁres and causing some late nights and early mornings. Those in stable relationships may equally ﬁnd their heads being turned by a new kid on the block, but there is danger here if you succumb to temptation.

SAGITTARIUS 23RD NOV - 21ST DEC Travel aspects bode well for emotional relationships, and any money spent on train/plane tickets and hotel reservations should be seen as a sound investment rather than a luxury. A more philosophical approach to family “problems” that you can neither control nor inﬂuence, provides you with a breath of freedom and the conﬁdence to enjoy it.

CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 20TH JAN February is a very busy month on the job scene and you may ﬁnd yourself working extra hours of overtime, not always with acknowledgment of bosses. On the other hand, you will be proud of your achievements, and while your Capricorn work ethic gives you some satisfaction, extra cash in your pay packet gives you a bit more.

Many of the country’s top blues musicians have been booked to play at Scarborough’s Top Secret blues festival in March. Organised by promoter and director Mark Horsley, it will be at the Spa from 11-13 March. The Spa Ocean Room was used for the first time last year, after the festival moved from the Cask. The switch proved successful, with 400 music fans attending over three days. World-class blues, roots, country, soul, gospel and folk were played on two stages by a couple of dozen acts. The 2016 festival will feature an extensive, high-quality programme of the best blues and roots artists, including the most popular band from last year’s festival, Wille and the Bandits. Artist-in-residence Aynsley Lister is staying for the weekend, opening the

The familiar tale of a bullied boy and a kestrel has been chosen for Scalby School’s annual show at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Kes is adapted from Barry Hines’ novel A Kestrel for a Knave, which led to Ken Loach’s 1969 classic film. A company of 100 pupils and staff, including a high-spirited cast of 70, have been working hard on rehearsals. Kes can be seen at the SJT at 7.30pm on 11, 12 and 13 February, with a 2pm matinee on the Saturday. The key roles are being shared by two actors. Billy will be played by Taran Fox in two performances and by Hugh Stanway in the other two. Billy’s mother will be portrayed by Lauren Philipson and Sasha Butterworth. “Kes is a well-known and much-loved book and film, set in working class Yorkshire in the late 1960s,” says the school’s head of performing arts, Stacey Buric, who is directing and producing the show. Most people above a certain age will know the plot. Billy, 15, suffers abuse at home and at school. His older halfbrother Jud (played by Jack Brown) beats and bullies him. Their mum has a different man at the door every day and seems more interested in applying her lipstick than quelling the warring parties. When Billy was six, his father abandoned the family. Although never seen, he is intregal to Billy’s lack of ambition and self-esteem. Then one day everything changes. Billy’s world explodes and for the first time happiness swoops into his life in the shape of a European falcon with the ability to hover against strong wind. He raises, nurtures and trains the falcon, which he calls Kes. Kes becomes Billy’s best friend; his only friend. “Kes is the story of one boy’s heart, how it came to beat and how it came to break,”

says Stacey. “The question on everyone’s lips when they discovered that Kes would be our next play was, ‘How are you going to portray the kestrel?’ “To answer that, I refer to Barry Hines who said about the play: ‘Kes is about education, not falconry. It is a story about a boy, not a bird. I think that’s why the novel translates so effectively to the stage. You don’t have to see the kestrel to appreciate Billy’s troubles. His problems are concerned with family and school. The kestrel is a symbol of Billy’s potential’.” Stacey adds: “This is no fairy tale. The story of Kes is one of hope, despair, rebellion and ambition. The play is not sentimental; it illustrates the hardships of the working classes and the poor state of education in the late ‘60s. Indeed, it resonates with some circumstances in our lives today. It has some wonderfully funny moments and a tremendous amount of heart. “Our production taps directly into current concerns about inter-generational lack of respect, the role of education and the wasted potential of so many teenagers whose passions are never discovered or encouraged. As teachers, we try to quell these concerns every day of our working lives and we are proud to be a small part of guiding, developing and nurturing the many talents, achievements and passions young people possess. The story of Kes serves as a great reminder of how important our role is in steering the future of our young people.” Billy’s mum is played by Sasha Butterworth, left, and Lauren Philipson

Carmen comes to Scarborough

Top tenor hooks up with choir again

Carmen will come to The Spa on 29 September

By Krystal Starkey

The Russian State Opera is set to bring Georges Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ to The Spa on Thursday 29 September 2016. A 30 strong orchestra will bring the Spa’s Grand Hall to life alongside an impressive cast in this 19th Century classic. Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited femme fatale. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous toreador Escamillo. The opera is promised to be bursting with vibrancy and enthusiasm. Tickets for ‘Russian State Opera: Carmen’ are now on sale priced at £29.50, £27.50 concessions. n Tickets are available from The Spa’s Box Office 01723 821888 and via www.scarboroughspa.co.uk

Scarborough Community Choir

Words and choir photo by Dave Barry

Top tenor Russell Watson has asked Scarborough Community Choir to perform with him again. The choir made a big impression on the singer at a Spa concert last year. The day after the show, Russell tweeted: “I had a fantastic night. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!” A few days later, conductor Bill Scott received another message from one of the tenor’s crew. It read: “Russell and the team have asked me to email on their behalf to say thank you so much for your performance. They wanted to pass on their thanks for your professionalism and enthusiasm on the night.”

The compliment was obviously sincere as Russell’s team have sought the choir’s services for a similar concert at the Spa on 9 July, as part of his Songs From the Heart tour. In the meantime, the choir is busy rehearsing for two concerts in March, every Wednesday evening at South Cliff Methodist Church Hall. The choir’s annual concert with the Sandside Orchestra is at Westborough Church on Saturday 12 March, at 7pm. Pianist Frank James will play Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and a semi-staged version of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Trial by Jury, featuring a troupe of bridesmaids. Part of the proceeds will be donated to a local charity, Woodlands Academy Music Therapy Group, to help buy new

Russell Watson keyboards. This concert is being sponsored by Anne Tubbs, whose son Tim sang the part of the Modern Major General at the 2015 concert. Tickets cost £5 from choir members and on the door. The second concert is at Queen Street Methodist Church on Wednesday 16 March, at 7.30pm. The choir will be singing the songs it sang at its December concert, excluding the carols and Christmas songs, plus Gershwin songs. n The choir’s website is at scarboroughcommunitychoir.wordpress. com.

Performance poetry at its best Jools Holland and Guests at First, Jane Sudworth, Sarah Dew and – after an interval - Felix Hodcroft will present 15-minute slots of their own powerful and emotive work. The three will then collaborate on Rebirth, a performance piece created by themselves and the show's co-director Helen Birmingham, drawing on modern British and American poetry. Sarah, a member of celebrated Scarborough band Raven, will provide musical accompaniment for Rebirth and for her own poems. “The three of us have very different styles,” says co-director Felix, “but those styles mesh together very successfully. All three of us believe that good poetry truly ignites when it's performed live.” The Studio gallery is a friendly and intimate town-centre setting, in Belle Vue Parade, between Victoria Road and Westborough, next to a church. Jane Sudworth, seated, with Felix Hodcroft Helen, its proprietor, is hosting a series of similarly ground-breaking events this and Sarah Dew, rehearse their show spring. “Scarborough is bursting with talent,” she says. “We want this event to inspire other brilliant poets to step Words and photo by Dave Barry forward.” Three of Scarborough's top poets are Admission will be by voluntary joining forces for a performance with a contribution - pay what you can afford difference at the town's Studio Gallery on and refreshments will be available.

Busy time for yacht club by Dave Barry

Strong new defence from Scarborough Judo club

Getting to grips with things

Dave demonstrates a throwing technique

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

SCARBOROUGH Ippon Judo Club is getting to grips with something new by now offering self-defence classes. The Club already trains regularly on Wednesday evenings at The Street on William Street Coach Park and had a highly successful 2015, culminating in club member Roman Danilov gaining a national gold medal. But coach Dave Hammond now thinks the time is right for the club to expand. He said: “I always knew we would need to increase our mat time, but I have been really pleased with how keen this group is and they are insisting we go to twice a

Instructor Dave Hammond (right) shows how to block an attack week training.” Hammond’s expertise lies beyond the sport of Judo and, having spent a number of years involved in security and studying the psychology of violence, he decided to start the new session with a self-defence course. He added: “I am in the process of writing a second judo book, based on its fighting skills. I am amazed at the number of people that do not realise how potent judo is as a self-defence system, so it will be nice to pass on this sort of knowledge not only to my regular judo pupils, but anybody else who feels they need to learn a bit of self-defence in the Scarborough area.” The added time means that the club will also be able to give a little time to judo kata, another area that is generally neglected due to lack of time.“We will look at kata at least once a month now,” says Hammond. “This club has grown so quickly since I arrived in Scarborough, but I am still keen to have more people come and join us. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, male or female, there is something in Judo for you. It is a great fitness work out, a self-defence system, a combat sport and a wonderful way to meet new people.” If you want to join Scarborough Ippon Judo Club, or find out more about the group, contact Dave on 07525451454. The self-defence sessions take place from 2.30 to 4.30pm on Saturdays at The Street and cost just £5.

Free badminton to be a hit

SCALBY and Derwent Badminton Club are offering a free introductory session for those who fancy having fun whilst getting fitter. The Club meets every Tuesday evening at the Lower Graham School Sports Hall

from 7.30- 9pm with each session costing just £4.00. All ages and abilities are welcome, including under-16’s who need to be accompanied by an adult.

Scarborough Yacht Club has another four races left in its winter series. They are on 7 and 21 February and 6 and 20 March. The club’s new-year race, on 3 January, had to be cancelled due to poor weather. The second and third races of the year were on 17 and 24 January.

Races are operated in accordance with the international rating certificate, a system for handicapping boats for scoring purposes. James Stockdale Ltd has agreed to sponsor the club regatta over the August bank holiday weekend for the next three years. The club was sorry to hear that Howard Burdock, a longstanding member, recently passed away.

FOUR members of Scarborian Field Archers travelled to Regent Field Archers

in Bridlington to compete in their Open Shoot. The day was bright, but the lazy, biting wind took no prisoners on the hill top. The tea tent, doing brisk trade with bacon butties and hot soup, was a welcome site halfway round for competitors. The typical welcoming atmosphere and camaraderie, which is the trade mark of Field Archery, was there in abundance. Scarborough duo Colin Greenway and Les Arrowsmith won medals for their second place finishes in their respective bow styles. John Naylor and Phil Pattison shot well, but could not match the high standard of shooting in the AFB section. Congratulations to Regent Archers for a finely laid out course and tournament.

Mount gearing up for 70 year celebrations Auto 66 Marketing Director Scott Beaumont opens the press conference

Ivan Lintin shows off some of his trophies

Pictures by John Margetts

A VERY successful Auto 66 Media Press Conference was held at the Royal Hotel in Scarborough ahead of the 2016 season. Scott Beaumont the Marketing Director opened the conference and thanked everyone for the support given to Oliver's Mount over the years and went on to say this year they were celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Auto 66 club which was created by Peter Hillaby and it was also the 70th Anniversary of Oliver's Mount. A short video was shown on the highlights of 2015. Attending the conference, some of the riders present were Conrad Harrison, Mick Grant, Sam Lowes, Ian Lougher, Lee Johnstone, Dean Harrison, Ivan Lintin, James Cowton and Daley Mathison, they were giving their comments on Scarborough and Oliver's Mount track. Mick Grant said he will be in Scarborough for the Barry Sheene meeting and he went

Bridlington star James Cowton on to say how much he loves Scarborough and Ian Lougher commented on how he is so looking forward to the season at the Mount. Dean Harrison also made a comment saying he had been trying for years to win the Gold Cup and eventually managed it in 2015. James Cowton from Bridlington said he has a new sponsorship called Racing by Radcliffes Butchers. Over the years the meetings have relied on voluntary help but this is gradually fading away so in the mid 1970's it was decided that a more professional approach should be brought in to enable the club to carry on running so then it was handed over tp PMH Promotions LTD. who agreed to cover any losses on events which was going to be a step in the right direction for the future. In the early 70's the Auto 66 club bought shares in Scarborough Racing Combine allowing the club to get involved at Oliver's Mount, the company was set up

by Frank Winn and Les Porritt who were the only two people left in the Scarborough and District Motor Club with any interest in the mount. In the mid 80's shares were sold to Auto 66 so eventually they were the sole share holders. At the AGM the club decided to sell the shares to PMH Promotions who took over the leases and could safeguard

the use of the track. T years ago the decision was taken by the club to put all its efforts into Oliver's Mount to guarantee its future in holding club meetings which are mainly run at a loss but it is the clubs way of still opening the doors to newcomers to progress through the ranks.

get out of the situation they are in. “Everyone at the club needs to pull together now and we need to turn things round quickly. This is not going to be easy and we know that.” “Nobody is hurting more than me and we have to get a point from somewhere to get us going again.” Since he took charge, Kittrick has identified that his players need to improve their fitness levels if they are to stay in games and keep going right until the final whistle. He said: “The lads need to get fitter so we have enough in the tank to make an impact in the final quarter of games.” Despite midfielders Matty Bloor and Steve Mallory missing out on the Prescot game through suspension, the pair were put through their paces with a running drill by Boro under-21s manager Steve Roberts before the game. “Its important that all the players keep themselves fit and want to stay that way so they can perform to the best of their abilities for Scarborough Athletic.” Despite only being in the role for a month, Kittrick has wasted no time in ringing the changes, bringing in six new players including former Sunderland u21s captain Tom McNamee and ex-Droylsden defender Shane Killock.

NEW Scarborough Athletic manager Steve Kittrick has had a tough start to his tenure at the club, as he tries to drag his side away from the bottom of the Evo-Stik First Division North. After taking charge just before Christmas, the former Guiseley and AFC Telford united manager saw his side slip to a ninth successive league defeat last weekend with a 3-0 loss against fellow strugglers Prescot Cables to leave Boro in 18th place in the league. Kittrick is clear that his players have to dig in and fight to

Dave Merris in action for Boro "We need to have greater strength in depth in defence to give us a bit more experience to keep calm in tough situations and help some of our younger players. Tom and Shane have that experience and alongside Dean Lisles, Nathan Peat and Paul Robson gives us a bit more of a solid feel at the back.” Boro have continued to struggle in January with defeats against Northwich Victoria, Bamber Bridge, Marske united and Prescot Cables. Athletic have also struggled to find the back of the net with just one Ryan Blott strike against Marske in January. Kittrick has to steady the ship and try to give his side a bit of confidence to drag themselves out of their current predicament.

NORTH RIDING QUARTER FINALS

Three local sides have reached the last eight of the prestigious North Riding Challenge Cup, and the quarter-final ties take place on 6 February. West Pier, who won the competition in 2013, face University of York at Sherburn, and, in an all Scarborough League clash, Whitby Fishermen play third division It is It is Rovers at Lythe Sports Ground. The other two quarter-finals see Redcar Town play Tockwith, and Stokesley SC entertain Bedale.

TIGHT AT THE TOP IN TOP FLIGHT

Just two points separated the top four teams in the Fusion Resources District League first division after the games on 23 January. The top two sides, West Pier and Newlands Park fought out a 2-2 draw, with Billy Logan and Martin Cooper(pen) netting for Pier, while Sean Exley scored twice for reigning champions Newlands. Edgehill were 3rd in the table after a 5-1 win against Whitby Fishermen, with strikes from Mike Barker 3, Danny Collins and an own goal, and Filey Town were 4th after Dave Brannan, Josh Young, Callum Gravestock and Phil Dickens were all on target in a 4-0 away success against Westover Wasps. Ali Caw and Luke Delve both scored twice as Seamer Sports moved clear of the relegation zone with a 5-1 home win against Sleights.

SCALBY MAINTAIN 100% RECORD

Seamer Sports Res held on to top spot in division two when Luke Tinker scored to secure a 1-0 win against fellow highflyers Duchess. Newlands Reserves climbed to 2nd in the table after a stunning fight back against Edgehill Reserves, coming from 3-0 down (Dave Bell 2 and Craig Love scoring) to win 4-3, with goals from Stu Bates 2, Hugh

Brown and Drew McCoubrey. Harry Sleep and Jack Pinder both struck hat tricks, with Josh Venner also on target for Cayton Reserves in a 7-1 trouncing of Falsgrave Athletic, while Scalby made it six wins from six with a 7-1 success over West Pier Res, Dan Peel scoring a hat trick and Mike Hartnett hitting a brace. With plenty of games in hand, Scalby could still mount a late push for promotion.

VITAL WIN FOR ROSETTE

FC Rosette reinforced their third division title challenge with a crucial 3-2 win against leaders Eastway Sports on 23 January. Jamie Wray, Louis Hird and Simon MacDonald were on target to move Rosette to within 4 points of Eastway, and the Newby side have three games in hand. Hunmanby United Res were 3rd in the table after Dean Coates and Max Wood netted in a 2-0 defeat of It is It is Rovers, while Sherburn continued their move up the table after a slow start with successive wins, Liam Scott scoring twice in a 3-1 home win over Fishburn Park, followed by a 5-0 away triumph against Scalby Reserves, when Paul Mills, Steve Parker, Rich Malthouse, Carl Semple and Matty Whitehall were all on target. Josh Dolan, MacAuley Riley and Chris Cowling netted for Commercial in a 3-2 defeat of Westover Reserves.

PIER RAMPANT IN HARBOUR CUP

West Pier thrashed Scalby 12-0 in the quarter-finals of the Harbour Cup, with ace marksman Billy Logan scoring five. Also on target were Martin Cooper 3, Will Jenkinson 2, Sam Garnett and Neil Thomas. A single Ali Caw goal was enough to earn Seamer Sports a 1-0 win against 15-times winners Edgehill, while Lealholm beat Goal Sports 6-2. The last remaing quarter-final sees Kirkbymoorside entertain Filey Town on 30 January.

In the Scarborough FA Junior Cup quarter-finals, Martin Cappleman scored for Filey Town Reserves who drew 1-1 with Malton & Norton Res, before then winning 5-4 in the penalty shoot-out, to book their place in the semi-sinals. Wombleton Wanderers beat Ryedale Sports Club 3-1 in another last eight tie. Remaining quarter-finals areBrotton RA v Kirkbymoorside Res Seamer Res/Goal Sports v Old Malton Res/Loftus

TRAFALGAR WIN SHOOT-OUT

Sunday League giants Trafalgar reached the last eight of the North Riding Sunday County Cup, beating Marton Cricket Club 3-0 on penalties after an epic 6-6 draw. Traf came from 5-1 down to snatch a draw, with strikes from Billy Logan 3, player-boss Liam Salt, Lewis Taylor and Sean Exley, and now face an away tie against Grangetown in the quarter-finals on 14 February. Grangetown have won 8-0 and 5-2 in their two previous matches in the competition.

The recent wet weather has caused havoc with the Sunday League fixtures. No first division matches have been played since 29 November, although four games are scheduled to take place on 31 January. Trafalgar were top of the table with 16 points from 6 matches, with Heslerton on 15 points from 7 games. Reigning champions Newlands were 3rd with 12 points from 5 games. Games scheduled for 31 January are- It is It is United v Barrowcliff, Newlands v Commercial, Trafalgar v Heslerton and West Pier v Fylingdales.

THREE WAY BATTLE IN DIVISION TWO

A similar story in the Sunday League second division, with waterlogged pitches causing a spate of postponements. Traf Reserves were two points ahead of First In Last Out at the top of the table, with Ayton a further 4 points adrift, but with three matches in hand. At the foot of the division, Scarborough Campus moved off the bottom of the league with a 3-2 win against fellow strugglers Barrowcliff Reserves, with strikes from Paul Hill, Mike Stables and a George Thompson spot kick.

SENIOR CUP QUARTER-FINALS

When Whitby Wanderers withdrew from the Sunday League in October, it left just 8 teams in membership of division one. The Senior Cup is the knockout cup for first division sides, so the competition began with four quarterfinal ties, but Barrowcliff, who have been struggling for players, withdrew from the competition, giving Trafalgar a bye into the semi-finals. In other ties, West Pier beat Commercial 7-0, with Rob Speight contributing a hat trick, and Paul Thomas also hit a hat trick as Fylingdales beat Heslerton 5-1. Newlands thrashed It is It is United 14-0 in the other match, Jacob Codling scoring nine, Stu Bates getting three, and Callum Myers and Tom Sutherland completing the rout.

have found I have two slipped discs in my neck. I am currently waiting to see the Neurosurgeons at Hull Royal, as I might possibly need spinal surgery. This has put a dampener on my 2016 cycle challenge, but I'm sure once I'm back on my feet I will get back into some training and hope to raise some funds for a local charity in the town. I do want to say thank you for the messages of support from friends and family, as well as the Scarborough Athletic supporters and staff. Anyway back to this month's column. I want to welcome new manager Steve Kittrick to Scarborough Athletic and hope he can help stabilise the club who have been on a nose dive after such a successful start. It's been a funny season for Seadog fans, as the team have struggled in the Evostik North First Division. Now I'm not here to lay blame on the old management team and definitely not anyone currently at the club. This division is a tough league to get out of, you only have to look at FC united of Manchester and Salford City, who have had to throw a lot of resources at the team to get them moving forward. I personally think the team have missed some bite in midfield, since Jimmy Beadle has left to join NCEL outfit Tadcaster Albion. There really hasn't been anyone to fill that void. The team have missed that strength and aggression that Beadle has in his locker, plus the energy he possesses, he's built like a tank but moves like a race car. I do want to finish of this month's column by saying, over the past year or so it has been a pleasure knowing Bryan Hughes and especially Paul Foot, they have both been true gents and it has been a pleasure working with them. Thank you guys for what you have done, while at Scarborough Athletic.
