All set for War Games at Stepney Hill Farm

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk A HUGE fundraising event in Scarborough is all set to help battle brain disease.

War Games, which is being run by Sniper Fitness of Scarborough at Stepney Hill Farm on Sunday September 18 is in aid of Ellie's Fund Brain Tumour Trust.

It is all part of a big year for the charity which celebrates the legacy of Ellie, who would have been 21 this year.

Ellie's mum Heather Othick said: “This is a massive event for us and we are extremely grateful for Sniper Fitness for getting involved.

“The War Games is open to anyone 16 years and over and it really can just be a fun obstacle course for people

to take part in or you can even enter teams and try and win a prize for which sponsors will be donating prizes.

“All abilities can take part and it is really about having fun at what is a wonderful setting and raising money for a fantastic cause. It is £25 to enter and Sniper have guaranteed that £5 of every entry will go to Ellie's Fund Brain Tumour Trust. We are doing something called 21 for Ellie this year to celebrate what would have been her 21st and the plan is to raise 21 thousand pounds this year.

“The War Games event will play a huge part in us achieving that.”

For more on the event and how to enter or get involved in sponsorship see page 4.

Dial A Ride keep it very COMPETITION TIME! fare for passengers Win a meal for two at

The Copper Horse, Seamer

Dial A Ride staff

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk AT the last Dial A Ride Board of Trustees meeting, the Trustees voted not to increase the fares passengers pay for the fourth year running. For this financial year, Dial A Ride has already received funding of £2,500 from Scarborough Borough Council and an anticipated £25,000 from North Yorkshire County Council. These are their only sources of annual funding and they use them directly to support the fares individual passengers pay. With North Yorkshire County Council increasing their support by an additional 0.40p per non contract passenger journey, we were able to hold the fares again.

Dial A Ride are very conscious that many of their passengers only receive basic pensions or benefits and that in real terms, their day to day living expenses have increased.

It is important that Dial A Ride stays as affordable as possible so that people who are unable to use public transport or can’t afford taxis are still able to get out and about. This is vital so that their passengers – who often live alone or are isolated – can

still get to health appointments, go shopping, attend luncheon clubs or support groups or just visit friends and relatives.

All these activities help them keep their independence, supports their health and well being and reduces social isolation.

A return journey from Cayton to the hospital and back is just £6.10 and Newby to Morrison’s would be the same. The drivers and passenger escorts will help passengers from their homes onto the minibus and safely into their destination - they will also help carry shopping in.

North Yorkshire County Council continue to provide a small pot of funding to give people who have never used Dial A Ride the chance to try the service for just the price of annual membership (£3) – NYCC will cover the cost of the first fare. This gives passengers an opportunity to see how easy it is to book and use Dial A Ride for only £3 return anywhere within their normal operating area. n For more details or for a leaflet phone 01723 354434 or see the website: www. scarboroughdialaride.org

Jordan is the man on the Coronation Street

Jordan on the set of Holby City

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH man Jordan Hogg is all set for a big future in TV. Not only has the 33-year-old former Graham School pupil been working on hit shows such as Holby City, Casualty and Shameless, but he has also recently made his directorial debut on Cornonation Street.

Jordan, who has cerebral palsy said: “It was brilliant doing Coronation Street and all the actors were fantastic. I remember coming back from my lunch and standing on the cobbles on my own and just thinking for a

second how bizarre it all was. Even going into the Rovers set to film scenes was quite strange as I grew up watching the show.”

Jordan, whose father Colin owns Body Torque Gym in Scarborough studied film and television studies at the University of Hull Scarborough Campus and is now a freelance director.

He added: “I have always been into film and television and went on a show on Channel 4 to get an opportunity to work in the industry. My first placement was working on Shameless which was an experience and then I went on to do shows such as Casualty, Doctors and Holby City.

“I did a few episodes on Corrie and am also going to work on The Dumping ground soon.

It is quite funny as I am friends with a chap called Rich Kille whose business partner’s son Joe Maw is an actor.

“He stars in The Dumping Ground and I also cast him in a role on Doctors. My ultimate aim is to direct films and it would be absolutely fantastic to work on a big production. It is a great industry to work in and I love my job.”

IF the warm days and balmy nights are beginning to take their toll (as well as the hordes of tourists pushing past you fill up the beach!) then perhaps it's time to take a few hours off just for yourself. To that end our dear friends at The Copper Horse, Main Street, Seamer, are very kindly offering a delicious meal for two, along with a bottle of house wine, completely free of charge to the lucky winner.

With the restaurant's bold new look and friendly team, you're sure to enjoy your time at The Copper Horse. Following 11 years of ownership, Nick and Sandra decided it was time for a change. They have created a more

contemporary and opulent restaurant and bar (that retains a nod to Scarborough's show business heritage) whilst creating a menu to absolutely die for.

Radio Scarborough’s Mark Sinclair talks to Laura Daniela Baudoino LAURA Daniela Baudoino of Sniper Fitness says they are proud to be supporting Ellie's Fund Brain Tumour Trust and can't wait for the War Games event.

She said: “We have done War Games before but never for charity and this is a very worthwhile cause.

“The challenge is an OCR (obstacle course run) with lots of different fun and challenging aspects to it.

It helps if you are fit to do it but people can take it at their own pace. We want as many people to give it a go as possible so we can help the charity achieve their goals.”

Enrolment is £25 of which a minimum of £5

from every ticket sold will go direct to the charity. A maximum of 500 places will be made available for the September event. On the day car parking will be available with a suggested donation of £2per car. The whole event will be marshaled by volunteers from Ellie's Fund and they will be walking around the site and course with charity donation buckets, so if you need to get rid of those spare coins in your pocket come race time, the volunteers will gladly help you out.

Laura added: “The day is not just about the race as spectators can get a great view of all the action from a viewing platform at Stepney Tea Rooms and the whole family can enjoy a fun day as well. Not only can they watch and take part in some of the race action but on the day there will be a DJ, face painting, bouncy castle, raffle, hog roast and more. All of which will help raise funds towards the charity.”

Sponsors such as Beerhouse Self Drive, MJ Builders and Infiniti Scaffolding are already on board but they are looking for more. n To enter the event or to get involved with sponsorship call Laura on 07709 854 535 or visit the website: www.sniperfitness. com and head to WAR Games.

Phil Hart with his book at North Bay Railway

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH cricketing legend Phil Hart is going full steam ahead with his new book.

Phi, 69, who has worked at Scarborough's North Bay Railway for the past 12 seasons has a long standing affiliation with both Scarborough Cricket Club (as a player and coach) and Yorkshire, as a big big supporter.

Tickets to Ride is all about the essence of what it is to come from Yorkshire and takes you on a diverse journey encompassing all aspects of life from early childhood, with close knit communities, to military action in far flung arenas right up until his experiences on the railway.

The game of cricket takes a central role within this enthralling journey. From Seamer Cricket Club, to Scarborough Cricket Club, and culminating to the historic Yorkshire County Cricket Club, a memorable chapter in the life of this ‘Tyke’, with some hilarious consequences. Close family ties, abundant travel, tragedy, and heartbreak, but the journey continues with a chapter not to be missed.

Phil, who is a train guard at North Bay Railway, said: “I have always cherished a deep feeling of pride and privilege to have been born in such a beautiful part of the world; the ancient borough of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. A most desirable naturally stunning tract of land set upon the East coast of England.

To be born a Yorkshireman is an iconic legacy to behold, a badge to be worn most honourably.

“It took me four years to write the book and I kept going back through it and trying to make sure I didn't miss things out. I am very proud of it and it is also special that the book is on sale here at the station, and both Yorkshire and Scarborough Cricket Clubs.

Who knows there may even be a sequel.”

The book is priced at £9.99.

Fundraising effort is a bonus for the town Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE Mayoress' Community Fund Ladies Committee fundraising presentation was a special occasion.

Fundraising takes place each year from July starting with a summer fayre and then onwards on a monthly basis throughout the Mayoral year.

This year events included race nights, fashion shows, coffee mornings and several table top

sales including in Filey.

There was also a Christmas Fayre at the Town Hall and a ball in March with all the funds being tallied up and shared out to various local charities and organisations.

Prior to the presentation the ladies committee went to the Crescent Hotel for lunch where flowers were given to Mrs Ruth Sulman for 45 years service and Mrs Pat Bairstow for 21 years service to the committee.

At the presentation 40 recipients received cheques to include uniformed organisations, children going to do projects abroad and various other charities around the Borough.

The Mayoress' special awards went to Scarborough Survivors and The Rainbow Centre. The Mayoress Ros Fox said: “It has been a magnificent year of fundraising and I would like to thank everyone involved.

We hope all the money raised can make a significant difference.”

One of the club's committee members Mel Marflitt said: “It is great to put on these events as it gives people an opportunity to come and see what we have here. The facilities are brilliant and it is in such a nice setting. We hope lots of new people will be attracted to tennis because of these events.”

Despite a rather blustery day, the sun was shining and lots of families came along to find out what they have to offer – coaching, club sessions, tennis camps – and joined in with the fun. Tea, biscuits and sandwiches were consumed in the clubhouse throughout the day in what turned into a fun party atmosphere.

Having fun at Colour the Coast – Picture by James Giddings

Eastenders actor Jake Wood with Saint Catherine’s Hospice Director of Fundraising Tracy Calcraft OVER 700 fundraisers of all ages dashed along the sands doused in a kaleidoscope of colour at Saint Catherine’s Colour the Coast run in Filey. Despite the sea fret, everyone rose to the challenge and the atmosphere was incredible.

Popular Eastenders Actor and Strictly star, Jake Wood took part with his family in memory of a friend who received hospice care. Jake posed for photographs with fans and then started the race outside the yacht club on Filey beach.

The 5k run was an un-timed, non-competitive

event that was a fun-packed day out for family and friends as well as a technicolour team-builder for businesses and clubs.

Saint Catherine’s hospice fundraiser Richard Barwick said the event had proved even more popular than they expected.

“These events are fabulous fun and very popular with people of all ages,” he 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 made it even more special.”

The event, used coloured corn starch, and was sponsored by Adverset, Bluefin and Coventry University’s new Scarborough Campus.

Money raised will help towards the £6.2m needed each year to run hospice services over a huge area including Scarborough, Filey, Whitby, Bridlington, Driffield and Ryedale.

Words and photos by Dave Barry Powerboats and a choppy sea spoiled the first annual Scarborough Sea Watch.

The clash of the Sea Watch and powerboat races was unfortunate, to say the least.

“Unfortunately the porpoise were not impressed [by the powerboats] and

made themselves scarce,” a Sea Watch spokesperson said.

And the choppy water made it harder to spot fins.

The Sea Life Centre, the RSPB, the Sea Watch Foundation and Hull University had teamed up to educate people about the local cetacean, seal and sea bird populations.

Local experts on the Marine Drive answered questions about coastal wildlife and pointed out passing sea birds, seals and porpoise.

Talks on coastal wildlife were given at the Sea Life Centre by the RSPB, SWF, Sea Life and CoCoast.

SWF regional coordinator Robin Petch, who chairs SWF’s board of trustees nationally, and senior aquarist Todd German manned an SWF display at the Sea Life Centre.

Scarborough is taking part in SWF’s national whale and dolphin watch from 23-31 July.

Fairy garden takes shape at the Base

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk CYCLING enthusiasts and fundraisers used their pedal power when they completed the third annual Ride the BoS challenge.

A total of 32 cyclists and guides took part in the event which raised two thousand pounds for Saint Catherine's Hospice.

Ride the BoS is a challenging cycle ride, taking in all parts of the Borough of Scarborough and was inspired and developed by the former Mayor and Mayoress of the Borough, councillors Andrew and Sue Backhouse.

It has gone from strength-to-strength and the third outing was no different.

Sue said: “Once again it has been a terrific

And they are off! experience and we have managed to raise some great funds for Saint Catherine's too.

“I would like to thank everyone who took part and it was a real team effort. We all supported each other along the way and despite one of the girls, Michelle Wakefield, having a fall, it went smoothly. I am glad to report she is okay apart from a few bruises.

“I would also like to thank the staff at Sneaton Castle who looked after us once again superbly. We will shortly start planning for next year's event.”

Work has already begun on a fairy garden at the Base. Pictured tending it are, L-R, Ann Williams, Christine Mackay, Janet Dawson, Dianne Murphy-Rodgers and Anja Vanheinen. (To order photo, ring 353597)

Train company mentorship scheme looks for Scarborough talent

Radio DJ Shaun Keaveny will be one of the mentors

By Krystal Starkey TRANSPENNINE Express are offering a four month mentorship scheme to help potential food, art and music superstars from Scarborough achieve their goals.

Scottish television chef, Tony Singh, Leedsborn neon artist Julia Bickerstaff and Lancashire-raised radio DJ Shaun Keaveny head up the food, art and music categories respectively, and are inviting applications from 9 May through to the closing date 9 June.

They will select the ‘Future Stars’ based on their talent and ability to help contribute to the cultural vibrancy and economic growth of the region TPE serves.

The ‘Where Next Project’ will end with a showcase event for the winners somewhere on the Transpennine route in September.

The mentor and their respective Future Star will work together to ensure a spectacular close in the form of food markets and pop up restaurants, live platform-side broadcasts and even al-fresco exhibitions - all of which will provide a platform for the Future Star to progress.

Sue Whaley, HR Director, TransPennine Express: “Having won the rights to be the intercity operator of the North and Scotland, we are determined to provide an outstanding service the North can be proud of but also be a company that helps champion, showcase and nurture the region’s talent. n To enter, applicants can apply here www.tpexpress.co.uk/where-next/wherenext-project/ for their chance to become a Where Next Project ‘Future Star.’

Local residents have been helping to transform the garden at the Base on 46 Cross Street, in Scarborough’s old town.

In 2015, Castle Community Network received funding to run creative social clubs.

The funding came from the People’s Health Trust, raised by HealthLevel through the Health Lottery.

Growing Creatively in the Castle Community runs craft and garden-based activities free to local residents.

Club members wanted to create a fairy garden, enabling recycled materials to be used in imaginative ways. Examples of fairy gardens found online have provided lots of inspiration, ideas and enthusiasm.

More people are encouraged to join Growing Creatively, which has over a dozen regular members. The club meets Friday and Saturday between 10am and 4pm and there is an evening craft session on a Friday from 6-8pm. Other activities that interest residents can be offered. One regular club member would like to play and teach chess and there are board games and jigsaws.

There is no need to book or to arrive for any particular time. The project coordinator, Christine Mackay, said it was amazing how much hidden creative talent residents have and that, thanks to them, the garden is helping to draw more people into the Base.

Words and photos by Dave Barry About 3,000 people crowded pavements and paths to watch the Tour de Yorkshire reach its exciting climax on Scarborough’s seafront.

Across the borough, the number of spectators was put at tens of thousands over three days.

Promoted by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the gruelling cycle race was split into three sections: Beverley–Settle, Otley– Doncaster and Middlesbrough–Scarborough.

British Cycling had rejected an application by organisers Welcome to Yorkshire and the ASO to increase this year’s race to four days.

The men's race was won by Frenchman Thomas Voeckler and the women’s by Kirsten Wild of Holland.

Scarborough Community Choir’s annual concert with the Sandside Orchestra and Frank James was a resounding success.

It was at Westborough Church – a new venue for the choir.

Most of the first half was devoted to Gershwin’s music and began with the orchestra playing Promenade followed by Frank James playing Rhapsody in Blue. The choir sang three Gershwin songs – You Can’t Take That Away From Me from the musical Shall We Dance, Summertime from Porgy and Bess and They All Laughed followed by the folk song, Will You Go Lassie Go and You Raise Me Up. Following an interval with refreshments provided by the guides, the choir and orchestra provided a staged version of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operetta, Trial by Jury, based on the now-defunct law of breach of promise.

Soloists included Lesley Machen, a member of the choir, as the complainant, together with Tim Tubbs as the judge, Hilary Watts as the defendant and Kathryn Irwin as the prosecuting counsel. The bridesmaids and jury were played by members of the choir.

As in previous years, a large proportion of the proceeds from ticket sales and from the raffle is being given to charities – the Woodlands Academy for Music Therapy, the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome charity (in support of a member whose daughter has this littleknown disease) and a contribution of £50 to the guides.The choir’s next concert will be at South Cliff Methodist Church on Monday 6 June, at 7.45pm.

It will be an evening of lively songs from the choir’s wide repertoire.

Admission costs £5, on the door.

On 9 July, the choir will again be supporting Russell Watson at the Spa Grand Hall.

Tickets are on sale at the Spa box office.

Old town café run by veterans charity

Lifeboat coxswain Lee Marton pedals Stormy Stan

Words and photo by Dave Barry

The amateur cyclists included two on a tandem live images of the race onto TVs around the world.

The idea for the race arose as a legacy event following the success of the visit of the 2014 Tour de France to the county. The first two stages, from Leeds to Harrogate and York to Sheffield, were nicknamed Le Tour de Yorkshire.

The RNLI was selected as the recipient of a Tour collection and had a big display on Royal Albert Drive, when the race ended.

Stormy Stan, aka lifeboat mechanic Dave Horsley, gave a cheery wave as he was carried on the back of a trike-bike.

Second coxswain Lee Marton was lumbered with the hard work of pedalling Stan from the temporary lifeboat station on Vincent pier to the start of a novelty race, by the skatepark.

The new venue complements the trust’s other charity shop, around the corner on Newborough. Opened two years ago, it specialises in army surplus and also sells clothes and bric-a-brac.

The trust was established three years ago, as a support group.

Victoria says: “Goals for the forthcoming year include moving into social enterprise with employment projects L-R, FirstLight Trust operations coordinator Victoria and being involved with the Wilkinson is pictured outside the café with shop manager Fay Ellis and instructors Scott Watmuff and Paul Howells.

SOROPTIMISTS of Scarborough held their Annual Charter lunch at the Greyhound Ganton. The Mayor of Scarborough attended and a joyful time was had by all.

Soroptimists also held their AGM at Montrosa, Esplanade Rd. The Outgoing President, Mrs. Claire Feather gave her presidents report for the year and was delighted to hand over cheques to her two chosen charities, the Amicable Society and The Rainbow Centre. She was pleased with how her year had gone and was now looking forward to spending more time with her family and perhaps fitting in more travel.

Then the appointment and instillation of the new president took place. Mrs. Rita Leaman is the new president for 2016/17 with Claire Feather taking over as Secretary and Carol

The finger post

Dear Editor

ON behalf of the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery I'd like to thank the people who have made it possible to plant thousands of snowdrops, bluebells, primroses, cowslips and foxgloves in the cemetery. Councillor David Billing recommended our project to North Yorkshire County Council and they provided the funding. Our hard working volunteers spent many hours planting them all.

A big thank you too to Councillor Eric Broadbent who also arranged for funding, this time for a beautiful finger post directing people to the WW1 information panels in the cemetery. Roger Burnett and Sheila Johnson from Scarborough Borough Council put the finger post up for us. Thanks to everyone for all their help.

WE wanted to say a super big thank you to these three guys, Josh Derrington, Lee Boyes and Gerry Oakley from Dales Power Solutions. They donated a newly reconditioned UPS unit and then donated their own time to fit it.

This means that our IT systems and mains will be safe in the event of power cut and the Hospice will be able to continue to provide excellent patient support.

Thank you!

Kind regards

The Saint Catherine's Hospice team

Dear Editor

I WOULD like to welcome everyone to Staxtonbury 2016, probably the friendliest Music Festival in the country. If you like sunshine, fresh air and beautiful countryside, having a laugh, making new friends with all kinds of music and activities thrown in for good measure this is the event for you.

It will be awesome if we can continue the goals we have set ourselves from the begining (2009) of improving year upon year, but with some new initiatives for 2016 we will certainly be giving it a go.

After a brilliant Staxtonbury 7 last summer it is going to be difficult to achieve this.

After taking giant steps in all aspects of the festival not least with the sound and lighting on all four stages it's going to be a heck of a challenge, but one we are looking forward to. It is a credit to all concerned, including you guys who came, that we received the bronze award in the best event category for 2015 on the East Coast behind Armed Forces Day and the Tour de Yorkshire, that is some achievement and thank you to those who nominated and voted for us!

Someone likened us to the 'Fields of Dreams' film last year, "build it and they will come" and that is exactly what has happened. We had our biggest crowd ever and with everyone having such a good time we anticipate keeping the trend going with more of the same. So roll on July let's all have a great weekend to remember!

Dear Editor

Heroic peer’s descendant Top tournament provides frame football boost opens Maritime Heritage Centre The players line up before the tournament

Lord Beauclerk addresses the gathering

Lord Beauclerk, left, snips the ribbon

Words and photos by Dave Barry The great grandson of a peer who died in heroic circumstances in Scarborough 154 years ago has opened the town’s Maritime Heritage Centre.

Lord John William Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk travelled from his London home to cut a ribbon and declare the centre’s new premises officially open.

Addressing the gathering, he said: “Ladies and gentlemen, founders, members, volunteers, all of you who have done an amazing job over the last 10 years, I have to say, some of us might have wondered whether it was ever going to finish.

“But I’m glad to say, here it is, a splendid place, so congratulations to all of you”.

Lord Beauclerk’s great grandfather, Lord Charles Beauclerk, died on 2 November 1861 from injuries received while attempting to rescue a lifeboat crew in a vicious storm, by the Spa. The peer was buried in Dean Road cemetery and awarded a posthumous gallantry medal by the RNLI. Lord Beauclerk, 66, is one of the centre’s patrons.

The opening ceremony was followed by a buffet served at the Solid Rock café next door.

After six years paying rent, the Maritime Heritage Centre has moved into permanent premises of its own, across the road at 45 Eastborough.

A fundraising campaign, started in 2014, was

Lord Beauclerk with two of the centre’s principal benefactors, Maureen and Michael Robinson 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 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 centre is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm. Entrance is free. n (To order photos, ring 353597)

THE annual Yorkshire Coast Homes Five-aside Football Tournament produced a top score for fundraising The event this year was held in order to raise funds for the recently set up Scarborough Athletic Frame Football Club and over £550 was gained from the event.

Richard Mair, Yorkshire Coast Homes Policy, PR and Investment Manager, who helped to organise the event, said: “The YCH Five-aside Football Tournament has now been adopted as an annual event which gives our staff and friends an additional opportunity to enjoy their football while raising some cash for a worthy cause. This year the money will go to the recently launched Scarborough Athletic Frame Football Club, to help provide more specially adapted frames for the young players to use.”

Shaun Tymon, Yorkshire Coast Homes Chief Executive, added: “We’re really

Sliding in for a challenge overwhelmed at the way in which local people have got behind the Frame Football Club. I believe that the offers of support that we are receiving illustrate how quickly people are recognising the value of what the club has been established to achieve.

Our own fundraising activities, coupled with donations from our supporters, have recently enabled us to order four more of the specially developed frames for our young players to use.”

Plot of land needed for community garden Words by Dave Barry, artwork by Christine Mackay An urban gardening project is looking for a vacant plot of land to create a community garden in Scarborough.

Growing Opportunities, launched in 2010, wants to establish an inspiring and accessible garden in or close to the town centre.

The garden will provide opportunities for residents to grow and nurture plants and a space to enjoy being close to nature.

The ideal location would be secure and mostly level, with space for structures such as greenhouses, poly-tunnels, a tool-shed,

a toilet, seating and social space, vegetable beds and a nature garden.

Members of Growing Opportunities are appealing for help in indentifying land to lease or buy.

Dive on in with Scarborough Sub Aqua Club

Members of the scarborough sub Aqua Club at Green Gables

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk MANY people watch diving programmes on television but probably may not realise that they can learn to dive locally. The Scarborough branch of the British Sub Aqua Club has been established since the 1960s and has successfully taught many local people to dive.

Learning to dive with Scarborough Sub-Aqua Club means a steady flow of knowledge given freely by experienced divers and instructors in a safe sheltered water environment. The club owns its own premises located on St Mary’s Street in the old town with a licensed bar, meeting room, training facilities, several boats and also a compressor to fill diving cylinders with air.

Anyone, aged 14 years or over, can attend a try-dive evening when all equipment is provided and the sessions led by experienced instructors who will fully explain the training that is available.

The training programme, usually one night a week, is free to club members and timings can be tailored to fit with individual’s

Demonstrating a rescue technique commitments. It usually takes about 4 weeks to become a trained diver, with a certificated qualification that is recognised and respected internationally.

Anyone who gets the bug for adventure can dive abroad when on holiday or here, off the Yorkshire coast, with club boat trips and experience many historic maritime shipwrecks or focus on the flora and fauna of the area. Underwater photography is very popular since digital cameras became available and there are many keen photographers in the club. Trips to other UK coasts and foreign destinations are frequently organised – even non-diving family are welcome to attend.

Scarborough branch of the British Sub Aqua Club has a long history of helping people to fulfil their dreams of exploring the underwater world. It’s the place where dreams can become a reality and it’s here, right on your doorstep.  if you would like to know more visit the website: www. scarboroughsubaquaclub.net or contact us at scarborough.diver@gmail.com or call our Membership secretary, Zoe on 07760 667858.

Open Show for aquatic enthusiasts

Annual walk raises £8,000 for charity

The Mencap team

nick Leckenby and Kerry Davies

Words and photos by Dave Barry £8,000 was raised for local charities at the 39th annual Crown Tavern walk in Scarborough.

The weather was kinder than last year, when it was bitterly cold and didn't stop raining all day.

Rainclouds over Ravenscar was about as bad as it got this year.

The first of 52 walkers past the post were Kingspan workmates Nick Leckenby and Bob McNeilly.

They walked 18 miles from Hawsker to the Crown Tavern pub in four hours and three minutes. The route follows the old railway track for most of the way.

Nick and Bob had done it together for the previous three years but this was the first time they won.

The first woman home was Kerry Davies, in four hours and 11 minutes.

Another 66 people walked the last eight miles of the route, from Hayburn Wyke to the pub.

All the walkers had met at the pub in the morning to be transported to the starting points.

A presentation night will be held at the pub on 18 June, at 8pm. “We present trophies to the walkers and cheques to the beneficiaries,” said one of the organisers, Paula Holloway.

Beneficiaries in past years have included Action for the Blind (Scarborough Goal Ball), the Blind & Partially Sighted Society, Epilepsy Action, Impaired Hearing / Deaf Children, Mencap (National, Flexicare and Senior Gateway), Riding for Disabled, the Disabled Swimming Group, Sunny, the Wilf Ward Trust and Scarboccia.

Next year’s walk, on 30 April, is being dubbed Ruby Red, as it will be the 40th.

For the last few weeks, a big yellow digger on the Abeko Server 3 dredger has been digging an under-water trench.

Yorkshire Water is replacing the Wheatcroft outfall pipe, which discharges ‘consented’ waste water, from the washing and processing of potatoes at McCain, into the sea at Cornelian Bay. Den Tansey of YW says: “Over the last few years, this steel pipe has been prone to fractures, so we have decided to replace the full length with a new, high-density plastic pipe which will last about 60 years. The new pipe will be 500m longer than the current one, which is 2km long.

“Van Oord, a leading marine engineering contractor, are carrying out the work for us. The new pipe is being laid in a trench in the sea bed. We expect to install the outfall pipe in early June and complete the project by the end of June.

“These dates are dependent on favourable weather and sea conditions.”

Mr Tansey added: “The trench for the pipeline is 80% complete. The existing pipe will remain in use until the new one is installed.

“Work is progressing well, despite a delay due to the weather.”

The Abeko Server 3, registered in Holland, is accompanied by support vessels.

ks about the trials and Mum of two, Mya, tal and provides helpful tribulations of parenting parents with little ‘uns. information for other

Fussy Eaters Shay and I have been going through the motions at meal time recently. When toddlers start to gain their independence, mealtimes can become really frustrating. Apparently fussy eating is a normal phase in toddler’s development, so try not to get anxious and remain calm and positive.

Most of the time, your little one will eat enough to keep them going, even when they’re saying no at meal times. Try and think about the general consumption over a week as opposed to a single meal time or day.

Many toddlers experience a fear of new foods around the age of two. To help encourage your son or daughter to try new food, let them see you and others enjoying it. Exercise also works wonders for creating a healthy appetite! These are some of the suggestions that I have found useful.

Eat together

Toddlers learn to eat new foods by copying their parents and others, so eat the same as them. Giving your toddler the choice can help too; big dishes in the middle of the table make it feel more like a group activity.

Stay positive

Even if you’re not so keen on broccoli; put a brave face on in front of your little one to encourage them to eat it.

Remember to praise them after they’ve eaten well too. If they get more attention from you by not eating, they may use this for a reaction.

Unfinished meals don’t need to sit there for more than half an hour, it’s makes sense to clear away and move on.

Make it fun

Have tea time dates with other children, if they see other kids eating interesting foods, they will be more inclined to join in. TV and pets provide a huge distraction and are best kept away from the dining table.

Engage your toddler in conversation and talk at a level they can understand. Toddlers enjoy feeling grown up so giving them food they can eat on their own is a bonus.

Make it consistent

Toddlers thrive on routine – you’ve heard it before I’m sure. Three meal times a day is the way to go that fits around your toddlers sleeping pattern.

And a few don’ts…

Reasons to celebrate at Scarborough care home A SCARBOROUGH care home has more reason than most to be celebrating National Care Home Open Day and Carers Week this year.

St Cecilia’s care home in Stepney Road, Scarborough will throw open its doors and join in with the celebration theme of this year’s National Care Home Open Day on 17th June.

The home, on Stepney Road, Scarborough is celebrating after achieving an across the board “good” score at its latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission. Across all the CQC’s criteria, which are: safe, effective,

• Don’t assume that a refusal is forever – keep trying!

• Most importantly: Don’t worry if it doesn't go as planned If you’re still concerned talk to your health visitor or GP they can check your little ones weight against their height and make sure everything is ok.

Pindar pupils shine at university

Her Majesty The Queen

From left, nathan Morris, Maddy Williams, Megan Parkin and Chloe Buxtoa

By Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

her Majesty The Queen at the opening of scarborough Open Air Theatre DADDY was so pleased to hear that his neighbour Rudi Barman and others from the Scarborough lifeboat team were invited to go to London to meet the Queen, in honour of their life-saving work. Wow! Daddy remembered the day when the Queen had visited Scarborough.

Molly was very excited that day, because Queen Elizabeth was coming to the new Open Air Theatre and Molly was going to see her.

Molly put on her best dress. Daddy was taking her because Mummy was at work.

What a crowd was gathered at the roadside, waiting to see the Queen going past in a car. Molly would wave to the Queen and the Queen would wave back to Molly. Molly had practised her wave.

Actually, it was rather a big crowd and Molly had to squeeze between two adults to see the road. It was quite a long wait. As it happened, she was able to play with her favourite toy, a soft toy jellyfish called Jeyee.

After a while, Molly started to wriggle a little.

“Daddy, I need the toilet!” she said.

They had to cross over the road, because Molly wasn’t allowed to go by herself, and guess what ……….. while they were at the toilet, the Queen went past in the car on to the next part of her visit, the Blacksmith's Arms Inn at Cloughton.

“Oh Daddy! We’ve missed the Queen!”

Daddy had to think quickly.

“Quickly! Let’s get in the car and go to Cloughton” So they rushed home and got in the car. When they got to the Inn the Queen had already gone inside for her lunch. They missed her again!

Molly was trying very hard not to cry. All that waving practice, yet they had missed the Queen twice!

Inside the blacksmith’s yard a lot of schoolchildren from Hackness school, in red uniform jumpers, were

waiting. They had a special privilege today, to see the Queen close up and give her things.

Daddy asked if they could go in to wait.

“Sorry Sir,” said an important looking man. “Just the school children! Safety and security!”

Molly was so upset, but then, what a surprise!

“Hello!” said a friendly voice. “Would you like to come in and join the schoolchildren and see the Queen?”

It was the school’s head teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson. What a lovely lady!

Molly and Daddy joined the children and, just then, the Queen came into the yard. Children from the school were giving the Queen some little gifts.

“Oh dear!” Molly thought. “I haven’t anything to give her.” Then she knew she had something!

“What are you doing?” said Daddy.

Molly was giving the Queen her soft toy jellyfish called Jeyee!

Well, the Queen was absolutely delighted. A soft toy jellyfish called Jeyee for Buckingham Palace where the Queen lived in London. The Queen smiled and then waved at Molly. Molly waved back and then the Queen had gone, on to the next part of her day. She was going back to London.

“Thank you so much,” said Daddy to the kind lady head teacher.

“That’s all right! I hope the Queen enjoys her soft toy jellyfish!”

They all laughed, and now it was time to go home. What a day they had!

“I wonder if Molly will sleep tonight, without her soft toy jellyfish called Jeyee,” thought Daddy, but that’s another story.

Copyright: Joe Coates 2016 www.northbaytales.com

The special winning team were Nathan Morris, Chole Buxton, Maddy Williams and Megan Parkin.

Commiserations to the other team who also worked extremely hard and produced a super presentation: Keegan Kennedy, Peter Mason and Amy-Lou Forrester. Both teams will attend the final heat at York University next month. Mr Hackworth and Mrs Bilton, who have been working alongside these students said: “We were so proud of them all. They showed confidence and maturity. They represented George Pindar School fantastically. Well done and good luck for the next round.”

YEAR Eight students from George Pindar School took part in a Yorkshire Coast Schools competition held at Hull University Scarborough Campus.

GPS took two teams who had to research, plan and create a five minute presentation in front of all the other schools and university students on the subject of University and Higher Education.

Both teams worked extremely hard and their effort was demonstrated through their outstanding presentations.

Show you care and head to family fun day

staff from scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource SCARBOROUGH and Ryedale Carers Resource (SRCR) is supporting this year’s Carers Week between 6-12 June by holding a Carers Family Fun Day on Sunday 5 June at Snainton Village Hall between 11am-3pm.

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.This year the focus is on Carer Friendly Communities which are places where carers feel supported to look after their family or friends, and recognised as individuals with needs of their own.

Up and down the UK there are 6.5 million people caring unpaid for an ill, frail or disabled family member or friend. These people are called carers but they would probably say that they are just being

a husband, a wife, a mum, a dad, a son, a daughter, a friend or a good neighbour.

When caring happens, many people are shocked to find out just how little support there can be. Help is often out there, but talk to any carer and they will tell you to be ready to fight tooth and nail for every bit of help you get. To find out more about the advice and support available ring 01723 850155.

Elizabeth McPherson, Chief Officer of SRCR said: “We continue to raise awareness of issues affecting carers from as young as eight to the very elderly. Carers need to be recognised for the wonderful work they do in looking after family members, friends and neighbours. Please support this campaign in ensuring family carers are not forgotten and there is help out there to support them."

Death Café is a taboo-buster

24 - Scarborough Review, JUNE - Issue 34

The Death Café in Wykeham

Words and photo by Dave Barry Death is one of the great taboo subjects today.

Yet death is part of life, in that it touches us all.

The older we grow, the more people we know who die.

And although we don’t know when our time will come, we do know for certain that it will.

None of us, even the rich and clever, knows when we are going to go; our lives hang on slender gossamer threads.

So why are so many people reluctant to discuss such an important aspect of our lives?

Why is there such a glaring tendency to ignore or gloss over the inevitable, dismissing such thoughts as morbid and distasteful?

One person on the Streetlife website said: “Might be a good idea for some, but not for

me I’m afraid. I avoid talking about death at all costs; maybe it’s my age”.

With this in mind, a Death Café sprang up in Wykeham as part of the Big Conversation during Dying matters awareness week, which is held every May. The concept evolved to provide unparalleled platforms for people to defy the taboo and talk about dying, death and bereavement.

Since the first one, in London in 2011, over 3,000 Death Cafés have popped up in Europe, North America and Australasia.

But they are still few and far between; the nearest one to Scarborough is in Thirsk – 45 miles away.

Facilitated by psychotherapist and motherof-four Brigit Peacock, Wykeham’s Death Café was in a comfortable, neutral room at Scarborough Academy of Music. Others have been held in various locations such

Aid convoy and benefit gig for refugees

as people’s homes, community centres, libraries, crematoria, on a barge, etc. There was no charge but donations were accepted to cover costs.

It was attended by 14 people, mostly women, including three from Guisborough who wanted to launch one there. It was the first, but hopefully not the last.

Brigit set the ball rolling by explaining that she feels passionately that death should be an open topic and that she has encountered many bereaved people – people who are both coping with bereavement and coping with other people’s reactions to their bereavement.

She stressed that the Death Café is not a bereavement or support group.

“There is no agenda, the only objective is to increase awareness of death, with a view to helping us make the most of our finite lives,” Brigit said.

The conversation was respectful and candid, no-one dominating, and with the occasional ripple of laughter.

Someone pointed out: “The British are good at suppressing emotions and stifling tears but the French are worse when it comes to talking about death.”

Customs around the world vary. Some celebrate, some mourn and some hire professional mourners to express their grief.

Apparently, dressing in black when someone dies was a Victorian tradition. People went into mourning for a year, or in the monarch’s case forever. Today, many people stipulate that colourful not dark clothes should be worn at a funeral.

In the past, and occasionally still, dead people would be laid out in a coffin in the front room, so loved ones including children could say goodbye. This custom began to

die out when more people died in hospital than at home and the growing use of central heating accelerated decomposition.

Children should be part of discussions on death and dying, not ‘protected’ from something they will inevitably have to confront, sooner or later. It is important to use real language, not euphemisms such as ‘falling asleep’ or ‘gone to be with granddad’.

Everyone present felt that preparing for death was important. When someone you love dies, the bereaved have enough to deal with, emotionally, without all the practical problems which can easily be addressed in advance - in a will, for example. This promotes clarity and avoids heated, grieffuelled arguments about the deceased’s wishes.

Other topics which sprang up over an hour and a half included the afterlife, funeral planning, writing wills and advanced directives, biodegradable coffins, eulogies, celebrity deaths, superstitions, roadside shrines, Facebook, memorial benches and faith (religious or otherwise).

We talked about the ways in which anniversaries are marked by those left behind and ashes - what to do with them.

Some scatter them at sea or beneath a bush or plant. Others turn them into paperweights and jewellery.

Incidentally, when we die, my wife and I want to be buried in cardboard coffins at a green burial site in Westerdale, amid the moors we love. Any music played should include Charlie Winston’s catchy, lifeaffirming ditty Kick the Bucket. * It is hoped that a Death Café will be hosted

by Castle Community Network at the Base, on the corner of Cross Street and Friars Way in Scarborough – watch this space.

by Dave Barry A mercy mission to the refugee camps at Calais is being organised by compassionate people in Scarborough.

The group, People's Assembly, is linking to a nationwide humanitarian effort as part of national refugee week, 20-26 June.

The Scarborough part of the aid convoy will depart two days earlier, on 18 June.

The convoy will head to the notorious ‘jungle’ near Calais, with much-needed relief supplies.

The following items are required: men's clothing and shoes, waterproofs, camping equipment (blankets, sleeping bags, tents, tarpaulins, etc), toiletries, cooking pots, utensils, educational supplies

(books, pencils, pens, etc) and food parcels containing items such as dried food, cooking oil, tins, rice, cereal bars, longlife milk, rice, bottles of water, plain flour, etc.

Sporting a record of 45 wins (32 by knockout) Ricky was one of the most popular home grown boxers our country has ever seen, leading him to be widely known as ‘The Peoples Champion’.

There will also be comedy on the night from the hilarious Jed stone, a memorabilia auction and a special charity raffle.

Magic Times at The Futurist

Work officially started on Coventry university scarborough Campus in October last year

Picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and Build UK are joining forces for a week of exclusive, behind-the-scenes events at some of the best building sites in Scarborough.

Open Doors gives access to dozens of construction projects to inspire people to choose a career in construction and take the next steps to progress into the industry.

From future architects, bricklayers and civil engineers to front-of-house sales managers, visitors of all ages and skill sets can get on site at Open Doors events between Monday 13 and Saturday 18 June.

Big Bands swung down seafronts, where high waves dance.

Films filled The Futurist. In “On the Waterfront”; Brando, leather-clad, fought vile powers, at his brave stance.

Outside here: night tides like drum beats, crashed down, vibrant.

Poem by Patrick Henry World-wide magicians, once brought here their strange acts; Among Varieties, staged at this coast resort.

Politics held Party Conferences, to promise much.

Comics and hypnotists also played their part.

Russian Ballet or Verdi’s “Aida”: crammed this small stage.

Though seating here, spread vast as any, up North-East.

Projects that will be opening their doors in the Scarborough area include: Coventry University Scarborough Campus, Scarborough Leisure Village and Scarborough UTC which are all based on the former Weaponness Car Park site.

People interested in getting on site can book at: opendoors.construction Once on site, visitors will find out exactly what it takes to create the iconic buildings of the future.

Suzannah Nichol, Build UK Chief Executive, said: “The construction industry is in a war for talent so we are delighted to be running Open Doors in partnership with CITB. It's an exciting chance for anyone seeking a future career, a new challenge, or a change of direction to see first-hand what construction has to offer. We look forward to welcoming people of all ages onto our member sites in June."

Willmott Dixon is opening three sites in Scarborough. Rick Willmott, Willmott Dixon Group Chief Executive, commented: “We're opening up a record number of sites for this year's Open Doors, to give people an eye-opening insight into the construction industry. It's not every day you get to look around large construction sites and through Open Doors, we want to inspire people about the benefits of a career in construction.”

The Futurist. A name sounding long to last.

Our Post-War time launched a hard-won, hopeful age.

Those Magic Men, spelt belief in Illusions, they’d wave To make vanish tall girls, street cars, pianos, bass drums: Wiped off before our eyes. Then, brought back, alive.

When this whole theatre goes: nothing can remain but dreams.

Appleton proud of former club Leicester

Colin leading Leicester City out as captain

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk BORO legend Colin Appleton has expressed his delight after former club Leicester City shocked the world and won the Barclays Premier League title.

Claudio Ranieri’s under dogs lifted the crown with two games to spare after fellow title contenders Spurs let a two goal lead slip at Chelsea confirming what many believed they would never see and the Foxes lifted the championship.

Appleton, 80, who took Boro to Wembley three times as boss, spent 12 years with the East Midlands Colin Appleton at the launch club. of his book in scarborough He said: “It us unbelievable what has happened and everyone involved with the club can be extremely proud of their achievement.

“The manager Cladio Ranieri has been a breath of fresh air since day one and has got the best out of all of his players which is credit to him.

“We got to two FA and League Cup finals when I was with the club but you never expected them to go on and win the league, especially over the last couple of decades

when there has been so much money pumped into clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.”

And Colin’s phone was quick to ring shortly after the news that Leicester had won the title.

Former Leicester captain Appleton explained: “My brother David still lives in Leicester and is a season ticket holder. He rang me up as soon as the Spurs and Chelsea game had finished and was ecstatic.

“There is a real buzz around the city because of what has happened and its fantastic.

“I just hope they can keep the side together because players such as Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy will be attracting a lot of interest from the big boys.

“Hopefully it won’t just be a one off and they can build for the future although it will be very tough. Everyone will want to beat Leicester next season so they will have to keep the same drive and determination. I wish my old club all the best going forward.”

VIRGO 24th AUG - 22nD SEP A bit of a moody month and a time during which you may have no choice other than to change carefully made plans. The 8th / 12th sees you washing your hands of a long standing problem and from the 13th onwards you’ll be inclined to follow your head in all things. Your heart might not like it, but your head knows what it’s doing and why.

LIBRA 23rd SEP - 23RD OCT If you’re in a relationship you will come to the conclusion that it must change if it is to survive. If you’re not in a relationship, then it becomes clear that you need to change some of your attitudes and priorities if you want to find one. People are waiting to please you, but you must tell them what you need and give them what they want.

SCORPIO 24TH OCT - 22ND NOV The month begins with a note of suspense… will something work out or won’t it? Don’t hang around waiting to find out, but make yourself busy with other things, and take a broad and long term look at lifestyle and your life ambitions. Anything to do with property seems important at this time and there are strong travel aspects prevailing on the 14th/15th/16th.

WHO’S IN THE PICTURE?

Some pleasure and delight in the achievements of children and news of a pregnancy or birth (probably some time around the 11th.) It’s quite a good money month, although you may have to wait until the last week to find the evidence. Quite a slog on the work scene, but at least you’ll feel as though you’re in control.

There will be some tension in family relationships during the first and fourth weeks of the month when other people from a different generation try to tell you what’s best for you. How little they know! There’s a softer period between the 8th - 22nd when a little bit of boredom and familiarity with old routines will provide a calmer atmosphere.

Social aspects are very bright during the first week, slowing down a bit between the 8th and the 15th.

Quite a romantic buzz developing between the 15th and the 22nd, while the last ten days of June are focused on careers, job prospects and possible promotions. You’ll be looking for extra income – maybe even a second income? Seek and find!

If a decision is taken out of your hands, be thankful for it, because that’s one less decision you have to make for yourself! Travel plans are under discussion, and you’ll need to examine budgets carefully. A positive month for relationships – improving old ones and finding new ones. Good vibes on the work scene with a bit more cash heading for the kitty.

Behind every successful woman there’s a man who is surprised, and certainly one of these roles sits upon your shoulders this month!

A couple of small things click into place during the last few days of the month which make you feel that your luck is beginning to change a bit for the better. There’s no reason why you can’t have your fair share of the romantic cake, especially on the 19th/20th – but in affairs of the heart, listen to your head and be careful with your words.

Answers: 1. Tomorrow, 2. His breath, 3. Rainbow, 4. Mary

June is a marvellous month for money making projects and for bringing materialistic ambitions one step closer.

Even if the period between the 1st and 14th is a bit sticky and sloggy, what you gain between the 15th and 30th more than makes up for it. Some sort of job elevation falls into place between the 14th and the 21st which will make you feel a lot more confident about all financial affairs.

FESTIVAL GUIDE This month Krystal gives us her pick of the best festivals to hit up in 2016 The festivals just keep on coming, and they get better and better. Long gone are the days of a simple but decent line up and some beers. Now you can get gourmet food, cinemas, comedy stages, head line stages, alternative music stages, luxury camping, normal camping, tipi camping... There’s a weekend for everyone who wants to throw on some wellies and forget about their day to day responsibilities alongside great music. So without further ado; my pick of the festivals I want to hit up in 2016...

Isle of Wight Festival Isle of Wight festival is basically massive now. It’s known far and wide for its monster line-ups and impressive artwork – the posters are always top notch. There’s something about hopping on a ferry to another island that makes you feel like you’re having a proper holiday. From the 9th – 12th June the sleepy island will come alive with sounds from Stereophonics, Queen ft. Adam Lambert, The Who, Iggy Pop (so excited to see him) and York’s home grown favourites, Hello Operator. Camping comes as standard with the weekend ticket, but those looking to have a luxury experience can choose from tipis, pre pitched tents, or luxury glamping. Keep an eye out for up and coming band, Bang Bang Romeo – you have my word you’ll love their dark and dirty sound. Tickets and information are available from www.isleofwightfestival.com.

Y Not festival Set in the glorious Peak District, this medium sized festival doesn’t compromise on line-up. This year guests can watch Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Madness, and up and coming band, Blossoms. I should stress that this is simply a handful of the amazing acts playing over the weekend of the 29th July. The festival prides itself on local ales and ciders, alongside a selection of decent food. Y Not has gone from strength to strength over the years yet still retains a modest ticket price of £99 - yes really! The grass roots festival is still run by the same organisers that originally started it too. 29th – 31st July Tickets and information available from www.ynotfestivals.co.uk

Apollo festival We couldn’t forget our next door neighbour, York: Apollo festival will take place on 25th June at York Sports Club, Shipton Road.

The family friendly festival promises to be as good as ever with plenty of onsite entertainment for the kids, local up and coming bands, well known bands and plenty of food and drink stalls.

For more information visit www.apollofestival.co.uk

Leeds festival The festival next door, run by Festival republic, is arguably one of the best in the world for indie rock n roll music lovers. A personal favourite of mine – I cringe if I miss a year. This year they’ve gone and done it again featuring five headliners over the three days who are, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foals, Biffy Clyro, Disclosure and Fall Out Boy. As you may have come to expect the list of other acts is impressive to say the least. Leeds Festival is only a stone’s throw away and sits in the lovely Bramham Park. The festival runs over the August Bank Holiday weekend from 26th – 28th August. For tickets and information visit www.leedsfestival.com

Lowlands festival If your budget is a little bigger and you fancy somewhere oversees then Lowlands Festival could be a contender. The festival is based in The Netherlands and features acts such as The Last Shadow Puppets, Muse and Sum 41. The environmentally friendly festival runs from the 19th – 21st August. For more information visit www. lowlands.nl – yes you will need google translate for some of the pages.

HOW TO: Make light bulb planters FIRST UP, balance your bulb on a bottle lid. Then squeeze the small metal ball on top of the bulb with the pliers until you can pull it out, sometimes this may mean you break some of the black glass. Don’t panic if you do.

YOU WILL NEED: A bulb, wire cutters, thin pliers, tweezers , a bottle lid and String.

WARNING: Please wear gloves and goggles when doing this project!

NEXT, break the black glass out of the bulb with a screw driver.

2030 house price predictions are out Property company, eMoov, has released its price predictions for house prices in 2030.

North Yorkshire looks set to have an average house price of over £400,000. Property prices have increased by 84% of the last 15 years – which could lead to huge prices if the same pattern repeats itself.

Based on the current market, the only areas of England that will offer an average house price under £280,000 in just 15 years’ time are Merseyside, East Riding of Yorkshire and Durham.

Russell Quirk, Founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk said: “The past 15 years have seen extreme growth in the price commanded for UK property, as well as a crash as a direct result of this inflated growth.

Although this research is only a projection of what may happen by 2030, it is safe to assume that with

I do believe in fairies, I do Those who believe prices continuing to spiral beyond affordability, history could well repeat itself.

“Although rising prices are always good news for current homeowners, it’s extremely worrying to look at the difficulty many have in getting on the ladder at the moment, let alone with a price jump of 84% by 2030.”

Restaurant review

THE OAKWHEEL PUB, COASTAL ROAD, BURNISTON, SCARBOROUGH for starters and chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce for mains I chose a Pinot Grigio wine to complement the dish. My guest ordered garlic mushrooms for starters and a steak cooked rare for their mains. The steak was cooked to perfection and served with a generous side portion of fresh and just-the-right-side of crispy vegetables and potatoes. The chicken in my dish was lovely and tender while the mushroom sauce complimented it without being overpowering.

It wasn’t just the food that was great quality, the loos where immaculate, the wine – a glass of Pinot Grigio for me, tasted crisp and light. Service was efficient and staff where more than happy to help. I loved the relaxed atmosphere in the pub and will definitely be returning again soon for a no hassle, yummy pub tea.

Visit www.theoakwheel.com or call 01723 870230 to make a reservation.

5.

6.

Thread the marinaded steak and mushrooms, alternating between potatoes, onto skewers.

7.

Season will slat and pepper again, Voila!

Either cook on the barbecue until the meat is done how you like it, turning occasionally or heat your grill to a medium - high heat and grill the kebabs for around 10 minutes.

2. Add 2 tbsp. of syrup to the bottom of each glass. Top with prosecco and add in a sprig of thyme and 2 blackberries!

Upon first entrance the Oakwheel Pub offers a warming and traditional setting from which guests can enjoy traditional, good old fashioned pub food. We sent Cassie and a guest over to check out what the fuss was about, she came back with good reports: “When we got there the bar offered a really generous range of hand pull ales, wine, spirits and soft drinks - there was plenty to choose from. The menu had all of the pub classics you would expect without overwhelming guests. I ordered a prawn cocktail

THE HEARTY KEBAB

So, you’ve got a first date We’re not going to pretend that first dates aren’t daunting, but they should be something you can look forward to. Take the stress out of deciding what to do and check out our go to list of places to set the scene for what could, potentially, be a story you tell for the rest of your life.

TE AMO Traditionally, Italy is an exceptionally romantic country. Take a trip to one of Scarborough’s authentic Italians, Lanterna Restaurant. They warn that they’re not the place to go if you just want a pizza; this is proper hard core traditional Italian cuisine. They pride themselves on exquisite fish dishes so maybe forget about the pepperoni pizza and try something a little more adventurous.

Visit www.lanterna-ristorante.co.uk for more information.

BREAK THE ICE Yep you guessed it. If in doubt - get ice cream. The award winning Harbour Bar has worked up quite the national reputation in the ice cream department after being named Chris Haslam from The Sunday Times’ number one go-to parlour. Grab your sweet treat and take a stroll along Scarborough’s glorious seafront. Bonus: Ice cream doesn’t give you bad breath.

Visit www.theharbourbar.co.uk for more information.

A CASUAL COFFEE Maybe you haven’t met your date before so this is more of a testing the waters scenario. The best way to do this is with a casual coffee. Scarborough has some great coffee connoisseurs in its remit. Coffee Culture and Espresso Coffee are just two of the greats.

Tales from the cooler Water

by Steve Crawford ANY surfer or sea swimmer will tell you that May is one of the most looked forward to months. The chilly North Sea finally starts to loose the ability to freeze you silly and the early bright mornings and long evening light means we can swim and surf before and after work. With light from 4 am to 10 at night, most folks can indulge their passion without forging sick notes or skipping dinner.

We've had great waves through May so far

which has been great for surfers but has caused problems with the repairs to the McCain factory outfall pipe. The heavy seas made completing the stages necessary for laying the new pipe extremely difficult.

However, it should still be completed by August. One downside was a severe drop in water quality at the end of April. People surfing at Cayton bay said the water smelt terrible and there was a milkiness to the water and many of them reported feeling ill

after being in the water. This was all reported to the Environment Agency, Surfers Against Sewage and Yorkshire Water. Yorkshire Water responded by saying they have tested the water and all is ok. I've asked if they tested for the stuff that came from the McCain pipe but a stony silence is all I've heard. A simple yes or no answer would do. We know works are underway and as long as we know there is a problem we can let people know and keep them safe. Not too much to ask?

The other big news locally,and nationally, is the declassification of some of the bathing beaches. Confused? So are we. What it actually means is that because the beach will no longer be classed as a bathing beach, the water quality tests will no longer be required - so we will have no idea whether or not it is safe to go in the water. The beaches involved are mainly problem ones that have failed basic requirements in the past. As you probably know, SAS have the free 'Safer Seas Service' webpage ( http://www.sas.org.uk/ safer-seas-service/ ) which allows you to view water quality at all the designated beaches in the country. Once the water at these beaches is no longer tested, we won't be able to provide accurate reports.

Staithes, just north of Whitby, has been

earmarked for declassification. A group of us who own businesses involved with the sea met with our MP, Robert Goodwill, to discuss the issue. Unfortunately he was fully in favour of the idea saying: " The bad news story every year, when Staithes fails the bathing standard is a bad thing for tourism and we want to avoid it " sic.

Our approach is different, we believe forewarned is forearmed and we need the information to pass onto surfers who want to be safe in the water. His opinion is correct from his perspective that tourists don't understand the way the system of testing works, however once the bathing classification is removed we have less and less chance to make the waters safe.

I'll go into more detail next month. In the meantime check the information on SAS's website or contact Robert Goodwill if you'd like to discuss his opinions with him. I hope we can keep Staithes classified and monitored so we can enjoy the amazing wave there. n You can contact me via Fluid concept surf shop facebook or email me at learn_ surf_scarborough@hotmail.co.uk if you need more information

Scarborough It’s Flower Show Season in Scarborough Strata by

FOR this month I am looking for some information from you the reader. Fossils have a long association with folklore and that is certainly the case on our coastline. Many people might be familiar with the Whitby Snakestones, which according to the legend are the result of St Hilda casting out snakes from the Whitby Abbey site, in fact they are

Will Watts

lower Jurassic ammonites (usually of the genus Dactylioceras) with heads carved onto them. Ammonites are so famous in Whitby that they even make it onto the towns coat of arms, next time you visit have a look on the signs!

Closer to Scarborough one of the most common finds are a fossil oyster called Gryphaea, commonly known as Devils Toenails due to their shape, and other fossils include the thunderbolt belemnites.

My question is do you know of any other fossil legends from our area, I would love to hear about them, get in touch via: www. hiddenhorizons.co.uk or search for us on Facebook and Twitter.

We are busy with lots of school trips, birthday parties and public walks so hopefully see you out on the Yorkshire Coast soon.

open gardens in Hutton Buscel Words and photo by Dave barry HUTTON BUSCEL is opening many of its gardens to the public again on 12 June, from noon until 5pm.

Sixteen of the village’s gardens will be open, including four which haven’t been open in previous years.

Tickets and maps can be purchased at the car park or village hall for £3.

The village hall will have refreshments, a tombola and a cake stall.

Art, ceramics, books and plants will be on sale at some of the gardens, says organiser Shirley Doyle.

SO that's it then for another year! The magic of Chelsea Flower show has been and gone. As always the large gardens were magnificent and opulent, the small gardens told wonderful stories and fired the imagination. This particular muck and magic gardener hopes that when the time comes heaven looks something like the Chelsea marquee full of beautiful blooms all with exquisite scents and colours to tantalise the senses. However, just because Chelsea 2017 is just a distant thought doesn't mean that we aren't looking forward to a few warm summer months when we can spend some time nurturing our own little pieces of paradise. The Muck and Magic team are privileged to see many beautiful private gardens tended by dedicated green fingers who work their plot with a passion equal to any Chelsea landscape designer and what a show you put on! Your gardens last summer were a superb mixture of shape, size and colour but the one thing you all had in common was how much you loved being creative and just being outdoors amongst your plants.

So, here comes Muck and Magic Gardens Competition 2016. Entries are now open for this years fun competition and, once

again, judges will be looking for people with a passion for their garden. You don't need to know fancy Latin names or even common names for that matter. Just show us how much you care about your garden however big or small, even if it's a balcony or a small patio. We are also looking for groups of people who garden together in a shared space or neighbourhood and where community spirit is alive and kicking just by sharing the weeding and the planting! Maybe you have a neighbour who is too modest to shout about their garden. Do they deserve a nomination into our muck and magic "Oscars of Gardening" awards?

Entry forms are available by e mailing communityvolunteers@hotmail.co.uk or by calling 07961 966617 to leave your details.

You can also find us on Facebook or on our website at www.allmuckandmagic.btck. co.uk Help us find the most loved gardens this summer in our area and create our own flower show to be proud of! Happy Gardening!

Town’s golden years of cinema

by Dave Barry

The site of the former Odeon cinema, where the Stephen Joseph Theatre stands today, in the early 1930s

Cinemagoers pose outside the Londesborough Theatre The first film to be shown in public in Scarborough is quite likely to have been London on a Wet Night, in April 1898.

It was only a few minutes long and in colour - each frame painstakingly hand-tinted.

The venue was Premier Pictures in St Nicholas Street, formerly St Nicholas Hall, a former town hall. The old theatre later became the Penthouse club from 1969-82.

The first cinemas were simple affairs, with a projector on a table at the back of a room.

The film was highly inflammable so distinctly hazardous. Yet despite the danger, people were still allowed to smoke.

In the early days, silent black-and-white films were shown with accompaniment from an organist or orchestra. Talkies arrived in the late 1920s.

The medium caught on quickly and the golden age of cinema drew the burgeoning middle-classes to picture palaces.

Today, films are shown only at the Hollywood Plaza, the Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) and the library (by Scarborough Film Society).

But in the first half of the 20th century, Scarborough was littered with cinemas.

The North Bay Picture House in North Marine Road ran from 1914-26 before becoming Simpson’s garage. Arthur & Mary Turner, who previously owned the Grand Hotel, reopened it as the Hollywood Plaza in 1981. Arthur bought the seats from the Spa Theatre, which was being refurbished, the curtains from the Dorchester Theatre in Hull and a Wurlitzer from the Ritz in Ipswich. One of my earliest Scarborough cinema memories is of Arthur playing the Wurlitzer while rising up out of the stage, simultaneously operating a baby grand piano, tubular bells and a glockenspiel.

Square panels of coloured lights flashed on both sides of the 275-seat auditorium. Only the baby grand remains. Since 1997, the venue has been owned by Barrie and Brenda Stead and run by manager Andrew Nesbit.

The art-deco Odeon was one of 32 Odeons opened across the country by Oscar

Deutsch in 1936. The opening, by one of the Brompton Cayleys, was attended by Oscarwinning actor Charles Laughton and his hotelier brother Tom, who were born at the nearby Victoria Hotel. The Odeon closed in 1988 and stood empty for a few years until it was substantially remodelled internally and reopened as the SJT in 1996.

The Londesborough Theatre, a few hundred yards away in Westborough, opened in 1871 as a multi-function hall. It was almost entirely rebuilt in 1913/14 and reopened with a film on 11 July 1914, when the capacity was put at 1,275. George Formby was part of the first stage production there, commencing on 13 July 1914. Included in the design of the new theatre was a fire-proof projection suite.

It became a full-time cinema in 1925 and closed in 1959. It was demolished in 1960 and replaced with a dismal brick building which houses Santander.

The St Thomas Street building which ended its days as the Royal Opera House had several other names after opening as Henglers Grand Cirque in 1877. In 1908, a mixed programme included a colour film whose length was described in feet not minutes. The Talisman was 1,500ft long. The final film was Batman in 1995. The grand old theatre was burnt, flooded then demolished, to be replaced by a casino.

The 1,200-capacity Theatre Royal in St Thomas Street opened in about 1733 on the site occupied today by CPH estate agents.

This Georgian theatre, redesigned in 1859 and 1896, showed silent films in the 1910s. It closed in 1924 and was demolished in 1928, so the road could be widened.

The YMCA showed films when it was on North Street (where TK Maxx is now) in the 1980s and used to show them at its current location during the summer. * Article to be continued in the next Review.

Restaurant Review by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk IF you are looking for something tasty and tempting to eat in Scarborough then look no further than SABA Thai and Curry Lounge.

The restaurant is quite unique in that it offers up both traditional Thai and Indian cuisine and both myself and Radio Scarborough's Mark Sinclair were invited along to sample some of the delicious treats on offer.

A warm welcome was given by restaurant owner Sahed Ahmed who conducted an interview with Radio Scarborough talking about his past living and working in Sweden before coming to Scarborough several years ago and opening up his restaurant here.

Mr Ahmed explained that he would be serving us up a selection of different dishes.

Up first was a sublime selection of both Indian and Thai starters which included delicious chicken satay and lamb chops in a special glaze, plus crunchy and delightful onion bhaji's and and some crunchy spicy crackers with dip and crisp fresh salad.

Following this we were greeted with a a truly mouth watering choice of mains. There was an amazing duck dish in a lovely glazed sweet sauce (which was easily my favourite), a lamb curry dish and a prawn curry.

All were served up delightfully with a selection of breads including a fluffy and light naan.

We managed to get through most of the delicious dishes and I can't say a bad word about anything we received at what is also a superbly smart restaurant with excellent service from the staff.

I would highly recommend to anyone to get along and sample their excellent cuisine.

SABA Thai and Curry Lounge is at 10-12 St Thomas Street Scarborough. Call 01723 355272 or 370703.

“I am so happy that this album is seeing the light of day as we will get to hear the amazing production by my late friend Fish – Daniel Lumley.”

BY Krystal Starkey RACING dragons will hit the lakes once more in the annual Dragon Boat Races at Wykeham Lakes on June 12.

The Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers is staging the sixth annual dragon boat races which will begin at 10am.

The club are hoping it will be the best ever with 30 dragon boats competing for the winner’s trophy. There will also be family entertainment including bouncy castles and magicians and a bar available for refreshments.

Club President, Jim Martin said: “As well as raising money for local charities, the dragon boat event is a fun family day-out in

a glorious setting.”

“Last year 23 dragon boats entered the event and we raised around £8,000 for local charities with thirteen good causes receiving much needed cash,” he added.

The money for local charities comes from paddlers collecting individual sponsorship, with the boat sponsorship going towards covering the costs of staging the event.

Each dragon boat is crewed by 16 paddlers, plus a drummer and they race over a 250 yard course in a series of heats with the fastest teams in a final race off – won last year by a team from the William Hare Group. n For more information on the Rotary Club visit rotary-ribi.org

Martin Simpson’s gig at the village hall in Hackness on 24 June is certain to sell out.

This isn’t a promoter’s guff, designed to encourage panic sales; it’s a fact.

Most gigs at the hall sell out so a performer of Simpson’s stature is guaranteed a full house.

Scarborough Review, JUNE - Issue 34 49

Pirates show heart to keep on improving

Football match to support mental health

The Scarborough Pirates under-15s with Team Manager Sarah Wallace and Coach Tom Read at Eastway

Simon Muir and his son Alex A COUPLE of football-mad enthusiasts are hoping a match in Scarborough will bring together the town’s mental health community.

Simon Muir, team manager at Trafalgar Square resource centre, and Mike Tyas, volunteer and trustee at mental health charity Scarborough Survivors on Alma Square, have pencilled in the afternoon of Saturday 11 June for the game.

They have chosen that date to make it a day celebrating football, as England kick off their Euro 2016 campaign in the evening against Russia.

Before then Simon and Mike hope to have

had their own match of the day, the first of what they hope will be many games involving players whose lives are in some way touched by mental health issues.

Simon, an avid Boro fan, said: “Sport and football can be so good for people with mental health problems.

“As well as the physical benefits of exercise, football can prompt feelings of happiness and well-being – well, they can, if you don’t support Scarborough!

“Football can improve self-worth as individuals become part of a team; it helps them bond with others through celebration and commiseration of winning and losing, and it can help develop in people a sense of belonging.”

Mike, a fan of Championship survivors Rotherham United, said as well as service users, anybody over 16, men and women, are invited to play.

He said: “We would love to see the users themselves and also their family, friends, carers and not forgetting all the staff who work in mental health field in our region, whether in the NHS, voluntary or charity sectors.

“We want to it to be a fun match - hopefully players will also get to know each other and if they get chance to have a chat as well as play during the afternoon all the better.

“We thought what a different way of getting people to come together, not in a meeting room but on a football pitch.”

Players will need to wear shin pads.

Changing rooms and showers will be provided say the oerganisers. There will be a cost of £2 to cover the cost of the hire of the 3G pitch at the University of Hull, Scarborough campus on Filey Road.

Anybody interested in playing is asked to contact Simon on 07955 880309 or Mike 07484 109753 as soon as possible.

SCARBOROUGH Pirates Under-15s are firmly getting to grips with life in the Yorkshire Juniors League.

The former Titans rugby league side play their matches at Eastway Sports and recently put on an impressive display to get the better of Selby 28-14, a game that I was able to witness and also capture the action.

Team manager Sarah Wallace said: “We initially started with our first season last year as Yorkshire Coast Titans with lads from all over the Yorkshire coast, Scarborough, Filey, Hunmanby and Bridlington.

“These lads had never played rugby league as there had never been the option available to them. We had a reasonable first season just getting to grips with the basic rules of the game and playing catch up as the teams we play have been established for years.

“Towards the end of last season due to reasons out of our control, Yorkshire Coast Titans folded and we made the decision rather than create a new committee, to approach Scarborough Pirates chairman Keith Paddock and asked if I could bring the team over.

“Scarborough Pirates welcomed the team into the club in August last year and we finished the season as Titans.”

This year the team has grown in size now having just signed their 23rd under-15s player.

Sarah added: “We started this season pretty rocky due to injuries from both outside and inside the game and losing key players for a number of weeks had a detrimental effect on our game. This caused us some big losses at the beginning .

“We now have most of our squad back who train twice a week under coach Tom Read with also a boot camp session provided by Sniper Fitness.

The lads have had to endure being beaten on a regular basis both this season and last which with fitness and fantastic coaching has made them more determined.

“Our hard work and perseverance when most teenagers would have given up and walked away is finally paying off.

“These lads are all like my kids, they have respect and discipline drilled into them which are the first primary rules of rugby, and no matter what the previous weeks results are or who is missing due to injuries, they play with their hearts on their sleeves. Proud to be Pirates!”

Cyclists hope to shine at Sundown 60

Exciting times for European Championships

So another season is over, what are we going to do over the summer?

Well in June is the start of the European Championships in France.

So I thought in this months column I'd go though and make some predictions on which teams will make it out the group stage...

Group A Albania • France • Romania •Switzerland

Representatives from The Wold Top Actif Team will be marshalling the inaugural Sundown 60 sportive

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk A UNIQUE cycling sportive initiated by the managers of one of Yorkshire's most successful racing teams this season, and hosted by the Wold Top Brewery, has been launched.

Organised by Richard Baldwin and David Hought from Wold Top Actif Road Racing Team, the first Sundown 60 sportive will take place at Wold Top Brewery on Sunday, August 28.

This sportive challenges convention as, instead of an early morning start, riders will depart at 3.30pm. The challenging route will take riders on a spectacular 60 mile route into the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds and Ryedale.

Mr Hought said the idea behind the sportive was to create an unusual and unique event for cyclists in Yorkshire.

He said: "Due to the later departure time, we expect to arrive back at Wold Top Brewery, hopefully on a beautiful day, with the sun setting over the Yorkshire Wolds, hence the name. It's all about getting people out into the countryside onto routes they don't know.

"The topography is certainly hilly - it will be a challenge but we'll make sure that anyone who finds they are struggling will be supported and swept along by the rest of the group.

"Wold Top Brewery is the perfect place to arrive after a hard day's cycling and get to know each other over a pint of the best beer in the world."

Some of the Wold Top Actif team will also be acting as marshals on the day, he added. En route technical support will be available from Vive le Velo and Hull street food business KerbEdge will provide refreshments en route and catering at the end of the ride.

The Wold Top Actif team is sponsored by Wold Top Brewery, Actif Wheels, Oriel Printing and VLS and it is currently British Cycling's highest-ranked team in Yorkshire for road and track in its first season.

Entries are open to cyclists aged 18 and over and entry costs £35. For further details and to book on, please visit: www.britishcycling. org.uk/events/details/147032/The-SundownSixty.

Coulson all set for St Johnstone switch

Michael Coulson

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH footballer Michael Coulson has sealed a dream switch to play in the Scottish Premier League.

The 28-year-old former Boro and Barnsley

ace has been with York City for the past four years but has now sealed a deal to play in the top flight in Scotland.

Coulson said: “This is a dream come true and I can't wait to get up to Scotland. I found out in January that they were interested in signing me and they actually tried to get the deal done then.

“I have enjoyed it at York but it is sad that they have been relegated from the football league. The fans have been great with me and I even got the opportunity to captain the club. I hope they bounce back in the future.”

Coulson will join up with the St Johnstone squad for pre-season on June 27 and he wants to make an immediate impact.

He added: “I have had a few injuries but I feel good now and I want to repay the faith that St Johnstone have put in me. Myself and my family are moving to Perth so it is all very exciting and we are expecting a baby soon too.

“I want to thank all my family and friends who have supported me over the years and this is a huge opportunity. I tasted what it was like to play in big games at Barnsley and I want more.”

Prediction France (1st) Switzerland (2nd) In this group, you can see France who are the hosts & Switzerland battling it out on who will finish first or second. But don't be fooled about Albania, to get here they qualified out of a group with Denmark, Serbia & Portugal to finish as runners up. They will be playing a very compact 4-5-1 and will be marshalled by former black cats player Lorik Cana on the defensive side. Romania in the past have had some tournament pedigree, who can forget Gheorghe Hagi bringing The World Cup to light with his goals in USA 94 & getting though to the knockout stages.

Also most England fans will remember it was Romania that knocked us out of a dismal Euro 2000, that and Phil Neville giving away a last minute penalty. Watch out for when Switzerland face Albania, that looks to be a must see match as Xherdan Shaqiri plays for the Swiss, but was born in Gjilan which is primarily an Albanian speaking part of the world (don't want to get too bogged down in the politics of that part of the world).

Group B England • Russia • Slovakia • Wales Prediction Russia (1st) England (2nd) On paper people might say this should be an easy group for England to finish in. Yes Roy Hodgson's men qualified strong to get here. But when you're facing teams like San Marino, Lithuania & Estonia out of no disrespect to these countries you'd expect to finish strong. For our young lions to win this they'll have to play these 3 teams & get maximum points. Russia did have Fabio Capello, but inter his stewardship the team had won two, drawn two and lost two of the six qualifiers and Russia were third in Group G. But since then the Russians have been revived by Leonid Slutsky of late. In this group we have added interest with Wales entering there first international tournament from like ever (actually 1958 their last tournament). Chris Coleman has got himself a team of young dragons and I think they can do well. I'd like to say they would qualify but I'm sure people would think I'm going crazy, but a good 3rd place and this group going down to the final game with Slovakia added into the mix anything can really happen.

Group C Germany • N. Ireland • Poland • Ukraine Predictions Germany (1st) Poland (2nd) This does look a Germany & Poland 1 & 2.

But wouldn't it be great if Northern Ireland got to the knock out stages. Michael O'Neill's team have defied the odds, to get to their first tournament in 30 years and with their neighbours the Republic of Ireland this is going to be very special tournament indeed. I can't see the Ukraine doing well in this tournament, as Ukraine pair Andriy Yarmolenko and Taras Stepanenko may have settled their disagreement, but as the team are not picking players from the Russian leagues I do think they will struggle this time around.

Group D Croatia • Czech Republic • Spain • Turkey Predictions Spain (1st) With Fernando Torres, Juan Mata, Diego Costa and Santi Cazorla all miss out on a place in Spain’s Euro 2016 squad. Del Bosque has gone for a different attacking line. Yes there will be the evergreen keeper Casillas and over familiar names, but will it be enough for the current winners to retain the title?

I'm unsure who will get the runners up in this one. I'm still drawn to Euro 96 nostalgia with both Croatia & Czech Republic, but I also think Turkey might do well. But I'll take a punt for Croatia to get though to the knockouts (fingers crossed)

Group E Belgium • Italy • R of Ireland • Sweden Predictions Italy (1st) Belgium (2nd) This is a very interesting group, as with all tournaments you get the dreaded 'Group of death' and this ladies & gentleman is that said group. You have Gli Azzurri, the Italians have a certain flair & a strong defence, then there is the resurgence of the Belgiums, with star players gracing most of Europe's top teams, they must be everyone's favourite dark horse team (I hope I get them in the sweep in the office). Then there is the one man army of Zlatan Ibrahimović, who has been Sweden's inspiration for more than a decade and last the Republic of Ireland, who have been though a transitional period of the years are back on the International scene their fans will add a certain colour of green to the air.

It's another group that will have to play all there games before we get a winner & a runner up.

Group F Austria • Hungary • Iceland • Portugal Predictions Portugal (1st) Austria (2nd) Here we are again just like group D, I'm struggling to guess who a runner up would be. I can't see any other team in this group surprising Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portuguese team mates (I do love an underdog story though). If I was going to say anyone it could be Iceland, in qualifying they finished runners-up in their group and won 6 drawn 2 lost 2 and only conceded 6 goals. But when you have Eidur Gudjohnsen in your team anything can happen. Little might be know about Austria from myself, but finishing top of their qualifying group and a team that will consist of Players based in Germany they will also be no pushovers.

Hungarian football has come a long way from Ferenc Puskás and if this team play well you could see new names appearing in the Premiership or other top leagues like Zoltan Gera (WBA & Hull City), Krisztian Nemeth (Liverpool) & Dimitar Berbatov (Fulham & Manchester United). So there we go, that's my prediction for the group stages, but which team will take the top prize, I think the host France should get to the final, but I do think the efficiency of Germany might just edge it on the night. But hey what do I know?

In regards to England I think we can win it, but it's all down to the team working well as a team. I know Rashford has been named in the provisional school, but I think he should go as I think he has had a top debut season & can score goals & important goals to boot, he looks like he can handle the pressure so give him the chance.

Come on England I do believe!!!

Scarborough Review, JUNE - Issue 34 51

Steep challenge at Oliver’s Mount Hill Climb Words by Pete Spence – pictures by John Margetts THERE was some high octane action at the first Hill Climb of the season at Scarborough's Oliver's Mount.

The event featured competitors from all over the country, and despite the inclement weather, was a success.

It was a great event for local rider John Scott and his team mate Julian Tillotson in particular.

Julian won the first in class for the super twins and second in class for the 600cc on a

Suzuki Bandit.

John said: “It was a great event for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. For Julian to get first in class was a marvellous achievement and we are very proud of him. He is now getting prepared for the Cock O' the North Road Races in June and he is extremely excited to be competing in that.

“I have been doing the hill climbs for a couple of years now and really enjoy it. It is a great atmosphere up at the mount with some fantastic people and bikes.”  For more visit: www.oliversmountracing.com or www.auto66.com

Current Premier Division Joint Leaders Seamer

Forge Valley’s Tom Brough has been in great form

Words & pictures by Simon Dobson NINE time champions Staxton and newly promoted Seamer lead the way in the new look, twelve team premier division after five matches, level on 66 points. Staxton’s Nick Gibson, with three consecutive half centuries and Chris Dove have found superb early season form and the team are still unbeaten winning three along with two drawn matches due to the weather. Seamer have impressed many with good early season performances and their batting talisman Greg Chadwick has been in outstanding form, while Matty Morris’ 5/43 saw them win at Ebberston. Scalby have also gained three wins and are just 1 point behind despite their opening day reversal at Staxton and overseas star Tynon Econonmou’s brilliant 6/33 against Heslerton was a standout bowling performance. Spinner Paul Hesp has been the perfect foil for the tall pace bowler, and already has registered two five wicket hauls himself. Reigning champions Staithes have suffered an indifferent start, gaining a comfortable win at Flixton 2nds, but suffering at the hands of Nawton Grange’s fast bowler Nick Thornicroft who bagged 1018 in an incredible individual performance, to dismiss Staithes for just 81, only their 11th home defeat in 11 years since joining the league. They bounced straight back with a local derby win over neighbours Mulgrave who have yet to register a win and are bottom of the table. They will be hoping to adapt to life in the top flight as soon as possible, otherwise they may find themselves cut adrift at the bottom of the table. Grange made it successive wins with a narrow 2 wicket win over Scalby with Tom Sharples starring.

Fourth placed Flixton 2nds look much improved and the form of opening pair Rob Lacey and Will Hutchinson offers much optimism for their upcoming fixtures.

Cayton are also unbeaten, plus they have a game in hand following Filey’s request to rearrange their early season fixture.

Overseas star Alex Townsend has been in scintillating form for Cayton, scoring 60 and taking a remarkable 8/9 on debut against Heslerton who will be hoping to improve on their disappointing early season form. Filey gained their first win of the summer, at Forge Valley, in a high scoring encounter and have been dangerous with their exciting top order. Valley have been scoring runs, with duo Tom Brough and Joe Bradshaw both in good nick but they remain winless after five. Ebberston’s first win of the season, a 6 wicket win over bottom club Mulgrave should give them confidence for the summer.

Settrington impress Settrington lead the way and are unbeaten in four matches, with skipper Adam Morley hitting a maiden century with Eddie Rounthwaite and Andy Monkman amongst the wickets. Cloughton are in second place, 10 points behind. Staxton 2nds are in third and another team showing good form.

Wold Newton are also unbeaten after four games, including chasing down 221 against Cloughton. Brompton remain winless and Cayton 2nds are currently bottom and will be searching for that first win to kick start their season.

Fylingdales flying Fylingdales have made a fast start with 61 points but Ebberston 2nds and Ravenscar are within touching distance, ready for any slip up from the current leaders. East Coast rivals Sewerby 2nds and Bridington has shown glimpses of form but Forge Valley 2nds have suffered a difficult start and are stuck at the bottom of the division on 20 points.

Flixton 3rds seem to have taken to life in Division 3 comfortably and are well clear on 57 points but Seamer 2nds have been equally impressive and have a game in hand.

Kirkbymoorside have won 2 and lost 2 but are only 1 point behind Seamer. Heslerton 2nds have endured early season struggles, so will be looking for improvement in the next few weeks.

Eyre smashes big score Snainton’s Michael Eyre hit a superb 147 not out and is currently winning the league performance award for May. His team are top with Cayton 3rds only 4 points behind on 46.

Sherburn 2nds are in third but a further 14 points adrift.

Forge Valley 3rds lead the way in Division 5 but Valley Bar Nomads remain the only unbeaten team in what looks a tight division.

SCARBOROUGH Cricket Club collected their first win of the season in the first round of the ECB National Knockout Cup, winning by 91 runs away to Stamford Bridge, Mark Tennant top scoring with an unbeaten 59, but in the next match they struggled to hold out for a losing draw at home to Harrogate in the league, with James Pick scoring an impressive 60.

Another trip to Stamford Bridge, this time in the first round of the Yorkshire League Knockout Cup saw Scarborough dismissed for just 139 and they were easily beaten with almost 5 overs to spare.

Back to league action, and Scarborough slipped to a narrow 5 run defeat at home to Sherrif Hutton Bridge, with Darren Harland scoring 73. The following day came another defeat, this time away to Richmondshire in the second round of the National Cup, and then came a losing draw in a third visit of the season to Stamford Bridge, Ben Elvidge scoring 95 off 87 balls, leaving Scarborough struggling near the foot of the table.

golfing review by derrick arden

Third placed Scarborough North Cliff team with L-R, Howard Palmer, ERU President, Andy Allcock, Michael Patterson, Simon Boddy & Dave Raybould

North Cliff finish in top three The East Riding Union of Golf Clubs held their annual 4 Man Team Championship at the weekend at Hull Golf Club when 14 club teams competed. The format for this event is stroke play over 36 holes with all four players counting their gross returns to the team score. The course was in excellent condition and the weather warm and sunny, so a close contest was anticipated. As the morning progressed there were good individual returns from Neil Burnley, Beverley, who knocked it round in a level par 70, Simon Boddy Scarborough North Cliff shot 71 and both Ben Rozenbroek, Hull and Nick Jones, Beverley posted 72. Not surprisingly in light of those scores it was Beverley who led the way after round one with a team score of 292. Their closest challengers were the hosts Hull on 300 and Scarborough North Cliff 307, two other fancied teams Hornsea & Hessle were still in the race with 310 & 317 respectively.

The afternoon rounds maintained the excitement of a close run affair even when Ben Rozenbroek the fourth man out for Hull posted an absolutely fabulous score of gross 65 which when added to his teams’ afternoon returns gave them a score of 293 and set the others an overall target of 593. The title was still in the balance with Beverley needing to post the equivalent of four 75’s to take the title, they had a chance but their eight shot margin from the morning disappeared when their afternoon collective score of 305 gave them an overall total of 597. Scarborough North Cliff held on to third place with a total of 618. The remaining team team scores were 4th Hornsea 621, 5th Hessle 624, 6th Cottingham Parks 643, 7th Brough 645, 8th Bridlington 646, 9th Filey 653, 10th Boothferry 656, 11th Burstwick 667, 12th equal Springhead Park & Bridlington Links both on 681 and 14th KP Club No Return.

the Junior Medal and Clive Clark Trophy competition and he completed a successful double for the family after a close contest with Thomas Benson (17). Both players posted scores of net 70 but master Duck came out the winner after the count back.

Grandad Clive would have been very pleased with this win as he played with Clive Clark when they were youngsters at North Cliff and although Clive Clark now lives in America they still keep in touch.

Junior medal and Clive Clark Trophy winner Thomas Duck

Duck delights North Cliff members played in the ERU Stableford competition, the winner of each division qualified to go forward to the finals at Hainsworth Park in June.

Division one was won by one of the Duck family Jonathan Duck (8) who carded an excellent total of 43 points. His round included three gross birdies at 3, 10 & 16 with the only blemish being a surprising double bogey at the par five eighth hole.

Runner-up for the division was John Wood (8) with a very creditable 39 points after a good performance especially on the back nine when he only dropped one shot to par.

Also on 39 points and in third place was Robin Myers (7) who posted three birdies but lost out on the back nine count back.

In division two Andrew Miller (14) posted 42 points to take first place, he was another player to card three gross birdies in a well balance round making 21 points in each nine. Adam Morris (14) played very well and matched the 42 points total but lost the back nine count back with 19 points so had to settle for second spot. It took another count back to sort out division three, Dennis Wilkinson (18) and Stephen Chambers (19) both finished with 38 points but Dennis made 18 points on the back nine compared to 15 for Stephen.

The Duck dynasty was represented by up and coming junior Thomas Duck (5) in

Douglas shines at South Cliff South Cliff staged their May Medal competition recently and the members were out with a spring in their step.

Feeling particularly sprightly was Liam Douglas (5) who romped round the course to win division one by 4 clear shots when he handed in a net 67. An excellent performance consisting of three birdies on the 4th, 8th & 18th holes plus 12 pars and only three bogeys. Second place in the division went to James Gomersall (12) on net 71 who edged out Dave Venner (9) also on net 71 on the back nine. Division two winner Hughie Carroll (18) had an even bigger margin of victory, he finished on net 66 six shots clear of the field and it could have been more but for a couple of double bogeys at 16 & 17, nevertheless a great round. Runner-up in the division was Barry Middleton (15) on net 72, Josh Blades (21) also carded net 72 but lost out on the count back.

Witty all set for Senior Championships Brian Witty of Scarborough North Cliff Golf Club was delighted to hear of his inclusion for the English Golf Union Seniors Championship and he is now looking forward to playing in the event over three days 1st – 3rd June in Leicestershire. The competition consists of 54 holes of stroke play to decide the winner but the field

will be reduced to the best 80 players and ties after the first two rounds. Brians’ first round will be over the Rothley Park Golf Club followed by a tilt at the Kirby Muxloe Course. If he succeeds in making the cut he will then return to the Kirby Muxloe GC for the final round. The competition will be fierce with many of the top UK amateurs taking part plus players from Eire, New Zealand, Australia and Canada among the starters. In such a strong field Brians’ first challenge will be to qualify for the final round and we wish Brian the very best in his quest for the title. His confidence received another timely boost when North Cliff staged their qualifying medal for The Fullers London Pride Gold Medal and he won division one of this qualifying competition at his home club, his score of net 71 was good enough on a cold and difficult day to win on the back nine count back from Dave Raybould (3). After an up and down round that included a double and a triple bogey Brian also carded 5 gross birdies, the birdie on the last hole was the most significant as David made bogey resulting in a decisive two shot swing.

Three others were in close contention with Marc Tyson (5), Andy Allcock (2) & Dave Butterfield (6) all handing in net scores of 72. In division two Paul Wiffen (11) took first place with a very good net 69 to finish one shot better than Neil Galway (12) on net 70. Stephen Chambers (19) produced the best score of the day a net 68 to win division three from Steve Sheader (23) who posted a net 70.

Top Ladies Open Day North Cliff hosted a very successful Ladies Open Day early in the month with teams rolling up from all parts of the County, unfortunately the weather was a big factor depending on what time a team teed off, if they were caught by one of the intermittent hail and sleet showers they had a problem.

However, the ladies seemed to cope with whatever came their way and produced some creditable performances. Playing in teams of four with two to count the winners of the gross prize and ‘The Skarthi Trophy’ were C. Shaw (6), J. Ludwell (12), K. Hetherington (18) and H. Roe (15) representing Pontefract Golf Club with a score of 180. Their team work was the key to their win, all four players made significant contributions to their cause. In the net score competition D. Smelt (12), B. Dobson (17) B. Armstrong (20) of Hunley Hall GC were joine by Marion Davison (24) of North Cliff and they produced the best net score of the day posting an impressive 149. Was the local knowledge imparted by Marion crucial to their success? In second place, 6 shots adrift of the leaders, were S. Cook (17), C. Stocks (19), L. Middleton (30) & A. Branton (31) of Ganton. A. Rossingto (12), J. Young (18), S. Morrison (15) & P. Bell (27) from Hainsworth Park posted net 156 for third place and the fourth and final prize went to J. Howes (17), A. Eley (18), M. Ryan (20) & M. Cooper (22) from South Cliff who finished on net 157.

BLINDS

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SEPTEMBER marks the 30th anniversary of one of cricket’s great careers coming to an end at North Marine Road.

Geoffrey Boycott’s final game for Yorkshire also brought the curtain down on the most contentious period in the club’s history, as told in The War of the White Roses – a new book by Scarborough-born author Stuart Rayner.

On 12 September 1986, Boycott walked off the field for the last time as a cricketer. He has never played the game he loves since – not even in a charity match.

It was all a bit anti-climactic. There was no send off, only controversy. It summed up Boycott’s Yorkshire career.

Nobody knew for sure if it would be his last game. Boycott was 45 years-old and at the end of his contract, but still churning out runs and eager to keep playing.

Yorkshire had tried to remove Boycott before, but had never managed. In 1978 he went on the Parkinson show to lambast the committee for sacking him as captain after eight unsuccessful years. Yorkshire took him back.

Three years later he was suspended on the morning of a County Championship game at Scarborough after demanding end-of-season showdown talks with Yorkshire’s manager, Ray Illingworth. Once Boycott’s legal team weighed in after a farcical day saw angry supporters holding up the start of play in protest, the county realised they had suspended their leading runscorer on a false premise.

In 1983, Yorkshire refused to give Boycott a new contract. Members rose up, overthrew the committee, and installed Boycott on it.

But in 1986 there was no turning back. When, in October, Yorkshire decided not to offer Boycott

a new contract, his war-weary supporters had largely lost the stomach for the fight.

Boycott’s final innings ended in a run-out.

Back in the side after nine matches out with a broken wrist, he had made 61 of the 69 needed to reach the 1,000-run milestone in First-Class cricket for a 24th consecutive season. But after being made to follow-on, Northamptonshire batted out the final day to secure a draw to the anger of those who had come to see Boycott reach his landmark.

“Everybody thought we should declare and every ball we faced the whole mass of people in front of the pavilion were turning around and abusing us like you've never heard abuse in your life,” recalls visiting captain Geoff Cook. “It got nasty.”

His hometown features heavily in Rayner’s first book, about the civil war which raged in Yorkshire cricket from 1968 and 1986.

Sometimes willingly, often not, Boycott was almost always at the centre of it.

The eldest son of former local football referee and solicitor John, Rayner was born in Scarborough in 1978 and went to school at St Martin’s, Scarborough College and Scarborough Sixth Form College. He learnt much of his cricket from North Marine Road’s Popular Bank before moving away to start a career in journalism. Today he is a sports writer with The Journal, Chronicle and Sunday Sun in Newcastle.

The War of the White Roses chronicles the infighting which followed Yorkshire’s fall from grace. In 1968 they won the Championship for a seventh time in 10 years but at the end of the season refused to give Illingworth a contract, and former West Ayton resident Fred Trueman announced his retirement.

Sewerby Hall and Gardens The award winning attraction of Sewerby Hall and Gardens is the place to visit in 2016.

Uniquely situated in a dramatic clifftop position with spectacular views over Bridlington and set in 50 acres of early 19th Century parkland, Sewerby Hall and Gardens offers something for everyone from the magnificent award-winning gardens to the deep rooted heritage of the house which been transformed back to the early 1900’s using furniture from the Victoria and Albert Museum and other nationally important collections.

2016 is a very special year for Sewerby Hall and Gardens, exactly 80 years since the venue was opened to the public by legendary flying ace Amy Johnson. The Amy Johnson collection at the Hall has been extended to feature new acquisitions of interesting memorabilia, purchased last year. Summer 2016 will see a

range of events on the theme of Amy and her achievements, including moth nights and an ‘Insect Week’ in June.
