A HANDBAGS and gladrags sale at the rugby club raised £325 for Scarborough Women’s Community Project. The 25 stallholders sold clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery and accessories. The event promoted the charity boutique Miss Elaineys, a social enterprise enabling women to gain work experience, build confidence and learn new skills. The boutique, in Victoria Road, sells donated quality women’s clothing and lets people sell good-quality items in its concession section.

Sale organiser Jo Purdy said: “We hope to purchase a sewing machine with the proceeds as the boutique runs craft classes and hopes to start altering and up-cycling clothing to sell in the shop”.
pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SIGNIFICANT improvements have been made to the Scarborough Rail Bridge, in a £6m project which is the largest investment since the bridge was built in 1875. In mid-February the iconic bridge was ‘raised up’ by a 600 tonne crane as the engineering team began work which will mean the bridge is fit to deliver at least another 120 years’ service. Network Rail Project Manager Darryl White was working closely with the local community, in particular to engage local children with the project.
The sale featured Carol Eves of Material Moves who runs dressmaking courses and who supports the work of Miss Elainey’s.
He built a Lego replica of the bridge which is in display in the railway museum overlooking the site. Over half term children were invited to watch the impressive engineering work from a key vantage point in the museum, and learn about the history of the bridge and the surrounding line.
Anyone who would like to get involved in the craft classes, donate clothes or volunteer in the shop should call in to meet Gemma the manager. The shop, on the corner of Victoria Road and Barwick Street, is open Monday to Saturday, 10am until 4pm. Scarborough Women’s Community Project supports vulnerable women and children.

The show is about to hit the road ahead of Tour de Yorkshire by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
EXCITEMENT is already mounting in the Borough of Scarborough ahead of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire, which will take in the area’s stunning moors and coast as part of Stage One of the race on Friday 1 May.

High hopes for Saint catherine’s fundraisers by Pete Spence
pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SONS and daughters will be saluting their dads from 10,000ft up when Saint Catherine’s Hospice gives them the chance of an unforgettable Father’s Day. The hospice has secured places for brave fundraisers to go skydiving on 21 June and hopes that those who take up the challenge will do it as a tribute to their dads. The Father’s Day challenge is one of two parachute days being run by the hospice this summer. The second is on 1 August on Yorkshire Day. Hospice fundraiser Louise Gravestock said she had hit on the idea of a Father’s Day jump as a way to mark the day by helping others. People have to be at least 16 to take part and can bring their dads along to watch or do the jump in memory of someone special. “We know Father’s Day can be particularly tough for people who have lost their dads,” Louise said. “This is a chance to do something amazing on Father’s Day and all the money raised will go to help families who need our services at Saint Catherine’s.” The parachute jumps take place at Grindale, near Bridlington, and raise thousands of pounds every year for patient care. Among the amazing fundraisers who
took part last year were an 80-year-old great grandma, a hospice nurse and a young man with a life-limiting illness who lost his sight as a teenager.

THE Five Elements Jujitsu group are looking to add to their growing numbers. The club, which is based at the Gallows Close Centre, is run by martial arts expert Anthony Prior, who has studied jujitsu for over 14 years. He said: “I am really pleased with how the classes have progressed over the past several months but we always have space for more juniors and adults. “This form of jujitsu teaches both strength of mind and body and is a brilliant way to learn discipline and self control.”
The roadshows, run by Welcome to Yorkshire and Scarborough Borough Council in Scarborough and Whitby, will give simple and direct information, facts and advice on how businesses can make the most of this world-class event. They will also give advice around brand guidelines and key dos and don’ts. The Whitby roadshows will be held at Raithwaite Hall on Wednesday 25 February and Thursday 12 March,
Local businesses wishing to attend one of the roadshows, which are free, must register in advance by visiting: letouryorkshire.com/roadshows and following the relevant link for their chosen roadshow. Janet Deacon, Scarborough Borough Council Tourism Manager and Area Director for Welcome to Yorkshire said: “These are informative roadshows, specifically aimed at giving local businesses the practical information they need to maximise the benefits of the Tour de Yorkshire. We’re also looking forward to hearing about any exciting initiatives that businesses may be planning to celebrate the race passing through our borough.”
Louise said that breath-taking challenges were becoming an increasingly important and valued part of fundraising for the hospice. The hospice also has opportunities for people to do some serious climbing in aid of Saint Catherine’s. Do it for Charity has organised two climbing challenges in aid of the hospice – the Three Peaks Challenge and Ben Nevis. n Contact Louise on Scarborough 378406 for more details on all the challenges. Saint Catherine’s Hospice provides in and out-patient care, neurology support, bereavement support and day care for patients across a 1,600 square mile area, including Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Hunmanby, Ryedale and Whitby.
The Scarborough stage of the Tour de Yorkshire was welcomed by Councillors David Chance (left) and Andrew Backhouse, pupils of George Pindar School and Janet Deacon of Welcome to Yorkshire (right) on Scarborough’s Marine Drive
Each year the hospice cares for more than 2,000 people from that area, the largest geographical area of any hospice in Britain other than the highlands of Scotland. It costs £5.4m a year for Saint Catherine’s to provide its hospice services in the area.
Great north run is a challenge of Faith
n Contact: Elizabeth Grahamslaw, Communications Manager, 01723 351421.
One of the UK’s most popular half marathons, the Great North Run takes place on Sunday 13 September, and by running the distance, Faith hopes to raise £500 for the charity. The course runs from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to South Shields, and 57,000 people took part in 2014’s event.
Five star performance from local martial arts group by Pete Spence
As the county gears up to host the major new international cycle race, local businesses are being invited to embrace the enthusiasm and attend a series of Tour de Yorkshire roadshows.
between 1.30pm and 3pm. The Scarborough roadshows will be held at the Scarborough Campus of the University of Hull between 5.45pm and 7.00pm on Monday 2 March and between 1.30pm and 3pm on Wednesday 11 March.
Anthony has managed to gain some funding to help him with his classes from the likes of Yorkshire Coast Homes and he wants to take the group further. He added: “Hopefully we can get more women interested and anyone thinking of giving it a go should just come along and see what we are about.” Junior classes are held every Monday between 4.30-6pm and adults on Sundays between 9-11am. n For further information contact Anthony on 07708888062 or look for Five Elements Jujitsu on Facebook.
SCARBOROUGH-born Faith Young hopes to take on the Great North Run and raise funds for the charity Beating Bowel Cancer.
Faith added: “I would be so grateful to anyone who can help me raise this figure, and I will be clocking up the miles while training for this special event.”
Faith, 44, said: “Our grandmother, Doris, died as a result of bowel cancer, so it seemed a good cause to run 13.1 miles for! “Bowel cancer is a common type of cancer in the UK, with around 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year. That means about one in 20 people in the UK will develop it during their lifetime. “Beating Bowel Cancer raises awareness of the disease and supports people with it, and I hope to raise funds which will go towards helping people who develop this type of cancer.” Faith, who will be joined by her mum Ruth on race day, has set up a Just Giving page: www.justgiving.com/FaithYoung

SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS founder John Edmonds
Photography site shares Scarborough all around the world by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
THE Facebook Group called SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS, which only started up about two months ago, already has over 250 members and is growing fast. The group was started by John Edmonds who was born, raised and educated in Scarborough but spent most of his life in Australia. In 2013, John returned to live in Scarborough and took up digital photography, as a hobby, whilst at the same time working as a business start-up adviser for the local organisation Yorkshire Coast Enterprise. John has always been interested in photography, and possesses photos right back to the 1960s of Scarborough from the various visits he has made over the years. In the last couple of years, John has shot literally thousands more photographs of Scarborough but most of his collection simply sat on his PC; many for decades. John recently retired from the business world and was looking around for something to occupy his time. In December, John decided that it might be a good idea to share his photographs, after friends and colleagues started to provide positive feedback about them. In addition, it seemed like a good idea if others could join him by sharing their Scarborough photos as well. Hence SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS was born. SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS sticks fairly rigidly to recent times from 1960 onwards. As John says: “We really don’t want the very old photographs of Scarborough because there are other groups that have a fantastic
collection of older black and white photos 50 to 100 years ago, such as the private Facebook group run by Mary Nightingale called ‘Scarborough Bottom Enders Residents Then and Now.’” John continues: “One of the things I’ve recognised is that photographs increase in their cultural value in direct proportion to the time which has lapsed since the photo was taken. In other words, we think virtually nothing of a photo taken today (other than it might be a nice photo), but 100 years from now, all the photos taken today will be invaluable as a piece of Scarborough’s history. “By creating the SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS Facebook page, I have started a collection which might just become important as the future unfolds. Just imagine people in 500 years from now being able to look at today’s photos of Scarborough.” John says he also started the SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS Facebook page so that he could share photos with his many friends overseas. Amazingly, it turns out that a significant number of people have joined because they don’t live in Scarborough any more, and SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS has already become an important link for them back to the town. Each month the Scarborough Review will feature pictures from the site. Editor Pete Spence added: “It is a fantastic idea and great for so many that enjoy taking photographs of what is such a picturesque town and sharing them with people.” n Scarborough Photographs is open for anyone to join, visit: www.facebook.com/groups/ScarboroughPhotographs/
More to come from charity music-man Neil A SCARBOROUGH man who won an international songwriting contest has been inspired so much by his accolade that he is now putting pen to paper on an album. Neil Fitzpatrick, who lost his dad to lung cancer just two days after Christmas in 2013, released his charity song Apart in the spring of last year with the aim of raising money for research into cancer. Since then the song has raised over £11,000 for Cancer Research UK and was, on Christmas Eve, recognised by the UK Songwriting Contest 2014 as the Winner of its Best Adult Contemporary Song category. Neil says “I found out that my song had won on Christmas Eve which was the best Christmas present I could have wished for. This is such a big deal for me as it was selected as the Best Adult Contemporary Song by songwriters and producers I have followed and admired my whole career, and who’ve sold millions of albums. “ I’ve already written a few more songs and am planning an album of new songs by the end of the year hopefully. “My main aim though is to raise more awareness of Apart and raise more money, the target of 25k, for the charity. I’m not going to stop until I get to at least £25k.” Rachel Speight-McGregor of Cancer Research UK says “This is such a huge achievement for Neil and all the fantastic people involved in this project, who have so far managed to raise an amazing £11,000 for the charity. I really hope this recognition will help Neil to smash his fundraising target of £25,000 and at the same time launch a glittering songwriting career.” Apart is onsale now for £5 at www.apartsong.co.uk or at www.facebook.com/apartsong and all of the proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. n The video of the song can be viewed on YouTube by searching for ‘Apart Official Music Video HD’.

The kids are all right for new church singing group! Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IT’S a case of the generation game when it comes to musical talent at South Cliff Methodist Church in Scarborough. For the past 20 years, local choir groups and bands have performed weekly concerts from the church on Filey Road. And now the future musical stars are showcasing their talents with a brand new singing group called Sing it Kids. Organiser Malcolm Peart said: “For years there has been weekly concerts put on by the adults at both the church and various venues around the Scarborough area, but we wanted the youngsters to have their own group so Sing it Kids was born. “The initiative is a community project and the youngsters involved have created a slogan for themselves, which is ‘A Better
Tomorrow’. “We have been pleased with the response but we are certainly welcoming new members to the group which meets every Wednesday from 4.30pm at the church.”
A joint venture by the Bridlington Tourism Association and the Scarborough Hospitality Association, and sponsored by Lloyd Dowson Chartered Accountants Tax and Business Advisors, the Expo will be a traditional trade fair with a number of added attractions, including two speed networking events, and presentations on how to get the best from social media. There will also be activities presented by industry professionals on how to improve your business simply and effectively. Bob Hillery, President of the BTA, says: “The Yorkshire Coast Expo will be a mustattend event for anyone involved in tourism on this coast. It’s a chance to find out all the latest news and ideas, and to network with others in the industry.” James Mackenzie says: “I am pleased to support and be part of the Yorkshire Coast Expo 2015, cooking and showing off some of the wonderful regional produce I use on my menu at The Pipe and Glass Inn including fish and shellfish from the Holderness and Yorkshire coast.” n The Yorkshire Coast Expo will run from 11am to 5pm. Admission is free, but advance booking is required via Eventbrite: eventbrite.co.uk/event/15708440368/

An Open Letter tO:
Scarborough Borough Council, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, North Yorkshire YO11 2HG & Scarborough and Whitby Conservative Association, Huntriss Row, Scarborough YO11 2ED Friday the 6th February 2015 Dear Jim, Tom, John and Lisa, I write to both the Scarborough and Whitby Conservative Association and the Scarborough Borough Council to ask when the people of Scarborough and Whitby can expect an Official Apology from both organisations to the survivors of historic sexual abuse by a leader representing both organisations. I am sure you agree every child matters, and even one case of child sexual abuse is one case too many. Don’t the survivors of childhood sexual abuse, their families, and the communities of Scarborough and Whitby deserve such an apology? As I understand it, representatives of both organisations have expressed concerns, regrets or have expunged someone from lists, but neither organisation has actually issued an “official apology” to those who suffered. If I am mistaken and such an official apology exists (although what I have read is words like “courage” and “concern” but I have not seen or heard words like “sorry”, “apology” or “responsibility”), on behalf of either organisation, I would help make it public, as no one seems to be aware of it. If you are waiting for a call to issue a public apology, then I call for the leaders of both organisations to take the responsibility of publicly apologising, in the interests of community building, so people can better move forward - please do so! If you refuse to issue a public apology, please state why. As, surely, the very least that should be expected is an Official Apology? I find it hard to imagine why you wouldn’t unless you are waiting for instructions from London to compel you to apologise, or perhaps there’s some other reason unknown to the public. I look forward to prompt responses in the interests of natural justice. Yours sincerely, Michael Beckett Liberal Democrats Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Scarborough and Whitby.

close call for angler on the rocks Words and photo by Dave Barry AN angler got well and truly out of his depth and had to be rescued by Scarborough RNLI. By the time the inshore lifeboat located him, he was standing on the highest part of Mascus rocks, near Scalby Mills. Wearing waders and a wax jacket, the fisherman had been hard to find among the big sets of waves rolling into the north bay, two hours after low tide. Because of the surf, the inshore lifeboat crew couldn’t see the angler but the crew of the allweather lifeboat, which was standing by, could. Watched by hundreds of people enjoying the warm sunshine, coastguards on the beach had to let off orange smoke to indicate the man’s position to his rescuers. The angler was carrying a rod and a rucksack and would not have been able to swim to safety, stated RNLI volunteer Peter Billingsley, who put the wave height at two metres. Jason Hedges, who was helming the inshore lifeboat, added: “He was a good distance from the shore and the water was nearly up to his waist. “We picked him up, ran the boat onto the beach and offloaded him,” said Mr Hedges. “He was
The photo shows the two lifeboats heading back to base after the rescue (to order this photo, ring 353597) uninjured and didn’t require medical attention.” Ironically, the inshore lifeboat, with the same crew, had been training for just such an incident only a few hours earlier, on its weekly exercise. “We spent the whole morning in the surf going over how to deal with exactly this situation, not knowing that only a few hours later we would be doing it for real,” said Mr Billingsley. Coastguard Mark Jenkinson, who was watching the rescue, said: “The ILB did a fantastic job because the man was between two outcrops of rock and there was a fair bit of swell on.” Lifeboat operations manager
John Senior said anglers and other members of the public needed to take great care when venturing so far out at low tide. “People should always treat the sea with respect and caution, especially in a situation like this, with the tide coming in,” Mr Senior said. The third member of the inshore lifeboat crew was Gareth Oxley. The crew aboard the all-weather lifeboat were Wave Crookes, Tom Clark, Chris Steel, Keith Eade, Will Cammish and George Whitlow.

BARONS Walking Football staged a special session for people with Parkinson’s disease. The weekly group put on the session to encourage those with Parkinson’s to get active and socialise in a fun environment. Barons Walking Football organiser Colin Bayes said:
“Myself and Jim Mitchell did a talk to the Parkinson’s Group Scarborough Branch at St Columba’s Church and we invited them to take part in walking football. “We already had some players who have Parkinson’s and they get a great deal of joy from taking part, so we wanted to give others the same opportunity. “The session went very well
and I was both pleased and encouraged how it went and this is something we may do more of.” Irene Atkinson, who is the chair of the Parkinson’s Group Scarborough Branch added: “We had a great time and the active aspect and fun was well received by those taking part. It was nice of Colin and Jim to invite us along and we had a great day.”

Sun shines for skipping and pancakes Words and photos by Dave Barry THE weather couldn’t have been better for Scarborough’s mass skip on Shrove Tuesday. In bright sun and high temperatures for the time of year, hundreds of children and adults filled the Foreshore, which had been closed to traffic. The tradition has been established since at least 1903, and possibly before, says Mark Vesey of the Maritime Heritage Centre. “It is suggested that its origins lie in the local fishermen sorting their ropes and nets at this time of year, and giving those not fit for fishing to children”. As long ago as 1853, people gathered on the seafront to celebrate Ball Day on Shrove Tuesday. It was one of the few public holidays when apprentices and servants could be sure of having at least half a day to enjoy themselves. It was recorded in 1903 that “a few bairns were skipping near the lifeboat”
Rev Stephen Drury in St Columba’s Church (to order this photo, please ring 353597)
Words and photos by Dave Barry THE Archbishop of York conducted a service installing a new parish priest at St Columba’s Church in Scarborough. Rev Stephen Drury has lived in Ayton since 1971. Until he retired in 2006, he was a partner in a local firm of solicitors, Thorpe and Co. He was then accepted for ordination training at the College of the Resurrection in Mirfield for an academic year. For the last seven years, Rev Drury was curate of Seamer and East Ayton and
and by 1927, in a national publicity campaign, it was being acclaimed as ‘Scarborough’s skipping festival’. At the end of the 19th century, the Foreshore was like a fairground on Shrove Tuesday. Stalls offered gingerbread, liquorice, coconuts and similar delicacies. Another Scarborough custom is the ringing of the pancake bell. Over a century ago, the bell hung in St Thomas’s Hospital in North Street. It was used as a curfew signal at 6am and 6pm, before the days of the BBC time signals. On Shrove Tuesday, however, it was rung at noon as a signal to housewives to start frying pancakes. In 1861, when the hospital was demolished, the bell was moved to the Rotunda Museum, where it continued to be rung for the next 50 years. When age made it unsafe, a ship’s bell, given to the Rotunda in 1979, was substituted. For the last few years, a new replica pancake bell has been rung by the mayor on the corner of Newborough and North Street.

Stephen and his wife Judith have three children (a daughter and a son in the teaching profession and living locally and a daughter in Glasgow pursuing an academic music career) and three grandchildren. He said: “I come from a strong Christian family and background. Faith has always been an important part of my life although, as with many others, it has been tested, sometimes severely from time to time. I do believe that in life there are

Archbishop installs new priest at St Columba’s some calls you cannot ignore. “Having had the privilege of serving in Ayton, the chance to serve in the parish of St Columba is an exciting challenge and opportunity, and I follow the faithful ministry of Rev Kathryn Jackson, who served here for 14 years.” Rev Drury described St Columba’s as “a jewel of early 20th century church architecture. “I hope many will continue to find it a place to come for the deepest and most meaningful events in life. The church is most importantly expressed
as its members and the warmth of the welcome and the obvious commitment of the Church of St Columba gives great encouragement for future mission and service to the parish and local community. “Each parish is unique and the aim must be to harness the particular strengths and skills available in a way best suited to affirm the Christian gospel and bring it afresh to today’s complex world.” The archbishop, John Sentamu, tweeted that the induction service was “very uplifting”.
charities win funding by public vote Words and photos by Dave Barry THOUSANDS of pounds was dished out to Scarborough charities at the annual Voice Your Choice initiative. Each charity had to convince members of the public that it deserved the money it was claiming. Voters had to visit all 17 stalls on the first floor of the library then award each one a vote, on a scale of 0 to 5. Between them, the charities had applied for £15,742 but only £12,000 was available, so some were bound to be disappointed. The Maritime Heritage Centre, which was near the bottom last year, came first, with a score of 828. Spokesman Mark Vesey said: “I can’t believe it! This evening makes me realise how wonderful Scarborough is, with so many good groups”.
Margaret Anton of the South Cliff Community Group, which was awarded £400, added: “It makes me proud to live in Scarborough and see what’s going on”. £1,000 each was awarded to the Maritime Heritage Centre, for its Treasures of the Past project; Mencap, for its year-round access to communitybased activities; Community Cycling, for its Encompass project; St James’s Church and arts centre, for its Bridge project; the YMCA, for its community support group; and Blueberry Enterprise Training. Other cash awards went to the Alzheimer’s Society for its reminiscence groups for people with dementia and their carers (£995); South Cliff Community Group, for its social involvement project (£400); Breast Friends, for its breastfeeding project (£860); Gallows Close Centre for its team volunteers
(£989); Futureworks NY, for its film club (£638); the Goalball Club (£925) and Castle Community Network at the Base (£935). The unlucky applicants, who received the fewest votes and no cash, were Coast and Vale Community Action, the Conservation Volunteers, Edgehill Community Association and Art Therapy Yorkshire.

Family from Scarborough win trip of a lifetime By Krystal Starkey
DRAMA student, Amelia won a trip to Barbados with the Pauline Quirke Academy and Virgin Holidays. Amelia, her brother Finley and parents Kelly and Matthew will be flying out this Easter to stay at The Savannah Beach Hotel. To enter, students from The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts had to take a photo of themselves in an imaginative location holding the promotional flyer. Amelia’s entry caught the judge’s eyes and Pauline Quirke called to congratulate the family for their winning entry. In her entry, Amelia and her family are on a Scarborough beach shivering in the cold whilst Amelia dreams of ‘Barbados, not SCARbados!’
Amelia said “I am really excited that me and my family are going to Barbados and that I will be able to attend the Academy there. PQA has really developed my confidence on stage, and I have made lots of new friends.” From February 2015, children and young people aged between four and 16 years old staying at the resort will be able to sing, dance and act in PQA’s action packed workshops. n Visit www.pqacademy.com or call 084567 32022

Scarborough Philatelic Society By Krystal Starkey IN the society’s most recent meeting, Robin Stenhouse showed his collection of stamps and postcards illustrating the second voyage of Captain Cook. The display told of Cooks exploration of the South Pacific, why the myth of a continent had arisen and a brief history of the Spanish rule of South America and the Pacific for over 300 years. Cook controlled scurvy, the scourge of navies, and mastered the estimation of longitude. Because many countries have celebrated his achievements by issuing stamps, a varied collection can be assembled.

Centenarian’s key to longevity Words and photo by Dave Barry
A STRONG will and an independent attitude to life helped a Scarborough woman to reach her 100th birthday. Theresa Garforth, known as Tess, celebrated her centenary at the Elsinore nursing home on the South Cliff, surrounded by family and friends. Born in Newcastle, Tess was an only child and never saw her father, who died at Ypres just after she was born; she was brought up by her grandmother. Tess and her husband Arthur married in 1939 and lived in Bradford, where she worked as corsetry manager at the Brown Muffs department store, as a
school assistant and in a biscuit shop. They had three sons: Donald, who lives in Scarborough, Julian, who lives in Cleckheaton, and Andrew, who lives in Swansea. The sons provided six grandchildren who, in turn, produced nine great grandchildren. Although Tess has lived at the Elsinore for five years, she has known Scarborough much longer as she used to visit the town for holidays. At the age of 92, Tess travelled to see one of her grandsons and two great granddaughters in New Zealand and watched an Ashes Test cricket match in
Adelaide, Australia. Longevity runs in Tess’s genes, states eldest son Donald. “Her mother, who was 40 when mum was born, lived to be 105 and an uncorroborated newspaper report states that her father’s father was 103 when he died”. Arthur died in 1998, just before their diamond wedding anniversary. Thirty relatives attended Tess’s 100th birthday party at the Elsinore, where staff dressed up in period gear representing the decades of Tess’s long life. The mayor, Pat Marsburg, visited the Elsinore to wish Tess a happy birthday.

Tales from the cooler water
Word & Pictures by Steve Crawford
IS it spring yet? Really it must be spring by now? Seriously, please tell me it’s spring! As you might have guessed, the end of winter fever has got me bad. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but, like in bad horror films, it never seems to get any closer. All us surfers are shivering in the full chill of the North Sea. trying to justify the expense of buying a spare wetsuit so we have a dry one to wear on those rare days we get chance to surf twice in one day. Oh well, warm socks and a flask of coffee are a bit cheaper. Thanks to everyone who came down to the Coastival/SAS beach clean on Saturday 14th of February. It was brilliant to see so many kids come down and help out, it really gives me a boost thinking these cool young souls will be looking at beautiful clean beaches way after I’ve hung up my litter picker and retired. So guys, well done - you and your families were most welcome and did us all proud. To commemorate Valentine’s Day, we even made a bin bag heart to say it with litter. So, hot on the heels of this beach clean we have another coming up: The SAS Big Spring Beach Clean 2015. We are aiming to cover 150 beaches around the UK on the weekend of 27th - 29th March. I’m doing a beach clean on the Saturday at 3pm on South Bay, meeting at the Aquarium Top slipway as usual, but here is your chance to shine - why not claim a beach of your own? The Big Spring Beach Clean is open
to all, all the info on how to plan and run your own beach clean is on the SAS website ( www.SAS.org.uk ) so rather than sitting worrying about the litter, why not make it better? I can also provide as much advice as needed and I would love to see
some of the excellent folks around here claim their own beach back. The last Wednesday in March will see the last of the ‘Big Wednesday’ surf film nights at Blue Crush bar at the Sands complex. All proceeds go to the Museum of British Surfing Starts 7.30 pm tickets £5,
under 15s £3.50. See you there. Finally, I’m starting to take bookings for surf lessons for the summer now - if you want to get in early before the rush, call me on 07891094976 or check www.fluidconcept.co.uk

The Wedding Fayre
Say I do… at The Mayfield
By Krystal Starkey LOOKING forward to the Wedding Fayre at The Mayfield Seamer, we look at how to get the most out of your time there. Wedding Fayres are one of the most convenient ways to learn, meet and discuss all the ideas and options for your special day. It beats the online shopping experience, you actually get to taste the cake, feel the fabric and smell the flowers!
By Krystal Starkey FOLLOWING an extensive refurbishment last year, The Mayfield Seamer will be throwing their doors open to all, to attend their Wedding Fayre on Wednesday March 11 from 5-8pm.
In order to get the most out of your day there are a few short steps you should take.
The Wedding Fayre itself will host over 20 local exhibitors. Guests will be welcomed with a goodie bag and get the chance to see the fabulous function room and fantastic ensuite rooms. Throughout the evening guests will be offered tasters of the food and drink The Mayfield has to offer and will also get the chance to enter a prize draw to win their wedding at The Mayfield Seamer including surprise extras from exhibitors. Events coordinator, Gina Nesbit, will be on hand to give advice on planning your special day.
• Always take a notebook • And a bag, there may be goodies and brochures you may want to take home with you • A companion is also a great idea so you can bounce ideas off each other • If you’ve already bought a dress it may be wise to take a colour swatch so you can see what matches • You may want to have further meetings with vendors so keeping a diary handy could save you writing up your left arm
We’ve put together some helpful hints and tips to start planning your wedding and get the most out of the Fayre too. On your marks!

Howard’s way providing opportunities for business women by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
BEC Howard, a Multi Award Winning Entrepreneur, is giving 10 women leaders and entrepreneurs the chance to take part in her research ‘Therapy in the boardroom’. Places are available to any woman in business in the Yorkshire area, who is serious about unlocking their potential to accelerate their business growth or career. As a previous Women Entrepreneur of the year 2009 and psychotherapeutic executive coach Bec Howard is not only responsible for creating three successful businesses from scratch, but is also responsible for transforming and empowering hundreds of women’s careers and lives. Bec is a specialist in personal brand, authenticity and mindset, and her quest starts with research which aims to explore the positive relationship between psychotherapy and performance. Traditional coaching often simply stays at a surface level as it looks at leadership behaviours, providing a basic sounding board, and aiming to assist the transition into management within that person’s specific work environment. However Bec’s style of coaching is based on a unique and rare breed of psychotherapy. Bec is offering 10 women leaders and entrepreneurs the chance to take part in her research, providing two three hour one-to-one psychotherapeutic coaching sessions over the course of three months. The sessions will take place in Yorkshire and are available to any woman in business, anywhere in the county who is serious about accessing transformational coaching to accelerate her business growth or career. If you are interested in taking part in the research and accessing this unique transformational opportunity, in the first instance please email Bec at: bec@bechoward.co.uk, explaining why this opportunity would benefit you and your business, and what you would want to achieve. n For more information visit: www.bechoward.co.uk

The Scarborough Spa Complex
Tourism conference set for seaside trip Words & Pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
AN exciting wave of plans for the promotion of Yorkshire will be unveiled by the Scarborough seaside this March. Welcome to Yorkshire will host the major Y 15 event – the biggest tourism conference in the UK – where new campaigns, initiatives and projects will be unveiled at Scarborough Spa Complex. The announcements are being kept under wraps, but the event will see Welcome to Yorkshire’s entry for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show launched as they prepare to make show history. Around 1,000 people are set to attend the event at Scarborough Spa on March 18 – a fitting location given the first ever Tour de Yorkshire international cycle race will finish in the town on day one of the race this May. Y 15 will run like a live TV show and is hosted by national sports presenter Rob Walker. It will feature star guests, with previous events having welcomed Yorkshire celebs ranging from Last Tango in Halifax Star Dean Andrews to Paralympic superstar Hannah Cockroft MBE – and even the Deputy Prime Minister. Janet Deacon, North Yorkshire Area Director for Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “We’re thrilled to be hosting the UK’s biggest tourism conference in Scarborough, especially in 2015 when the town will welcome the exciting new Tour de Yorkshire.” Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “Yorkshire’s profile as a destination has never been higher, so it is absolutely essential that together as a county we take advantage of this opportunity to cement our place on the global tourism stage.” n Doors open 10am and to register for a free place at the event see www.yorkshire.com/ y15 <-- Janet Deacon of Welcome to Yorkshire
YORKSHIRE Tyre Centre has been on the A64 between Staxton and Ganton for five years. The thriving business is owned and run by Dan Smith who, as you can guess, specialises in tyres. With 1,000 tyres in stock, Dan deals in “top-quality part-worn tyres” and “reasonably priced” new tyres for cars, MPVs, SUVs, 4x4s, vans, caravans and trailers. They can be fitted while you wait in reception or bought online, on Ebay. “We sell a lot of tyres online,” Dan says. “I can post four tyres for £9.” “We supply tyres all over the UK - just contact us for our details of competitive prices and speedy delivery.” Recent additions to the working area include a new tyre machine, with all-assist arms for low-profile tyres; a four-wheel laser alignment machine; and an MoT station with a new lift and brake rollers. MoTs are a big part of Dan’s business, with most customers coming from Scarborough, Filey, Malton, Bridlington, Whitby and the villages in between. “We are a small company with low overheads and we like to look after our customers,” Dan says. Yorkshire Tyre Centre is at Ganton Service Station on the A64 Scarborough to York road, eight miles south of Scarborough.
King Zepha fill the Den dancefloor

King Zepha on stage at the Den in the Cask.
A TIMELESS blend of ska, rocksteady, jump blues and jazz was played by King Zepha at the Den, in the basement of Scarborough’s Cask pub. Thumping double bass, raucous four-part harmonies, honking horns and skanking guitars had many if not most of the full house on the dance floor. The audience was swelled by 22 Germans from the Anglolang language school, who seemed to enjoy the gig as much as everyone else. On trombone, sax, guitar, double bass, keyboards and drums, the fivepiece rattled through two sets of songs including Good Times, Bluebeat Rennaissance, Lazy Man, You’re Gonna Have to Worm It, Carnival Prince, The Israelites, Hung Over, Oil, That Fleecy Night, I’ll be Home (When the Drink’s Worn Off), Samba DJ and The Root of the Problem. DJ Mr Tooley was on his decks before
and after King Zepha, and in the interval. The band was introduced by Den MC Tom Townsend, just after he presented a cheque to Mike Gordon, who chairs the local branch of Amnesty International. The money represented the proceeds of an Amnesty benefit at the Den in October by Tom, Paul Tilley, Mark Gordon, Rich Adams and Nick Boyes. The Den is a music night that takes place every Thursday at the Cask, featuring great live music from the Tom Townsend Blues Band and guests, and a great atmosphere.

Simple logic is the best way to deal with gull issue Comment by marine ecologist Nick Richardson of Scarborough, photo by Dave Barry THE main reason why gulls can do quite well in some urban areas is quite simple – there is a constant supply of food. If you want to do something about the gull population, you have to limit and ideally cut off that food supply completely if possible. Think like a gull for a minute. What would you rather do - fly miles to a freshly ploughed field and spend hours looking for worms and insects to feed yourself and any young you might have, or enjoy an energy-rich leftover battered cod and chips that has been thrown to the ground right on your doorstep? You chose the fish and chips. Who wouldn’t? And that’s without even starting on all the high protein kebab and burger delights that you can find lining
the streets throughout the rest of the town after closing time. A cull will not work. Other gulls will simply take the places of culled gulls. Besides, it would be a very expensive move from a marketing point of view to be nationally acknowledged as a family resort that can’t coexist with its seabirds and wants to exterminate its original feathery residents. If we clean up our act, the gulls will naturally look elsewhere for food. Like many of us, I was brought up to believe that littering was wrong. Sadly that doesn’t appear to be the case any more but it is still an offence as far as I’m aware. A few simple measures would do a lot the help the situation: • Actively discourage all littering including food - that includes dropping your rubbish next to any bin that is full (find another bin). • Let’s look into a bin design that isn’t
an open buffet - simple closure systems are available. • Request that the council look into increased litter collections during busy periods to keep on top of the food waste problem. • Do more to STOP people feeding gulls; it makes the whole situation much worse for everyone.

A Line in the Wilderness A BRIGHT summer’s day on a crispy chill morning a group with four people in a ford zephyr and a Rover P6, looking for history. Once a thriving line in the country west of Scarborough completely cut off by 1968. The task of salvaging, history collecting anything to hand, believing what they’ll find should be preserved or belong in a museum. The Forge Valley Line, or as future
generations will know it as the Scarborough to Pickering Line. The actual route accessible, must be quick, buildings being built, parts of the route already filled in. Heartbeat, heartbeat, Forge Valley, Wykeham, Sawdon, Snainton, Ebberston, Thornton Dale. A series of stations abandoned, that smoky feeling, going through station by station, shock sadness, distraught, doubts all kicking in. Coal fireplaces that haven’tt been lit since 1950, photo’s charred, documents ripped up to the size of shillings. Here we are trying to find out who worked here on this line? Who did what? What happened? Why did so few who may have been passionate, do very little to save this line? Another one
by Callum Day
gone under the Beeching act. Feeling sorry for those who lost their jobs, too little too late. A line that will be forgotten. The stations will slowly be lost in the future, locals, tourists will go by never questioning what was this building? That cold extinct feeling, a fixed shadow never able to go away. How some workers who worked at the stations took pride in their flower beds, the cleanness of the premises, smart uniforms, punctuality essential, such nice areas all this countryside to admire. Now feeling pointless. Ebberston Station we go, night falls the last thing you need a full moon, no electricity, no coal how the temperature drops, wrapped up in gloves, hat scarf coats, working through the night candles
School choir are top value by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
ST Augustine’s school choir brought Tesco to a standstill as customers and staff stopped to listen to the amazing voices of their chamber choir. They sang a full range of songs from the musicals to opera at the Westwood store. In just two hours the choir raised £203 for charity. Tesco community champion Hayley Pickles said: “It was the first day of our new charity drive which is Diabetes UK and British Heart Foundation as a joint venture. “We could not have had a better start with many customers asking us to invite the choir back. We were totally in awe of them and many were in tears of joy. We can’t thank St Augustine’s enough.”

flicker giving that tense dropping feeling...being watched...silence, silence. Whistle! Whistle! Get up, platform, platform outside looking in both directions no line, no train, no passengers, mind playing tricks, heartbeat, heartbeat. Back to the booking office, letter of forgiveness a member of staff forgiving the enemy at the time one of the track lifters, who lifted the track in front of the staff. Believe that the track lifters had also suffered. That insight to what people were going through no words. Final day comes, everything salvage, we take, restore, preserve keeping history alive, Hopefully future generations will take an interest to this.

Scarborough Review, March - Issue 19 29
Local choir to support international star by Pete Spence
pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A LOCAL choir is to perform with Russell Watson when the ‘The Voice’ appears at Scarborough Spa next month. The Graham Community Choir will accompany the acclaimed tenor for a selection of numbers when he performs in The Spa’s Grand Hall on Saturday 7 March as part of his latest UK tour. The 90 plus strong choir who have been personally handpicked by Russell, has been running for over 12 years and started life as the ‘The Can’t Sing Choir’ which was part of the evening class programme based at Graham School. From its humble beginnings the choir has now developed into a four part choir singing a varied mixture and popular range of music and employ an
open door, no audition policy making them a genuine community choir. The challenge of singing some operatic extracts with Russell has been embraced wholeheartedly by the choir, especially the extracts that require singing in Italian and French and extra rehearsals have been scheduled in the coming weeks. The choir’s conductor Bill Scott commented: “I am honoured that the choir has been chosen to perform with Russell Watson, the choir are great fans of his and we shall be working very hard to sing our best for him”. “The choir is particularly enjoying singing some pieces for the concert in Italian and French and the musical challenges that they present. I am proud of the choirs continued development and achievements especially as we have so much fun doing it!”
Fiery display from Jesse at cellars
Words & Photo by Dave Barry
SPARKS flew from Jesse Hutchinson’s battered old acoustic guitar at Cellars on Thursday of last week. He attacks his well-worn instrument with muscular ferocity, playing powerful covers of material by his many heroes. He played so hard that the plug he wears to protect his right ear shot onto the floor during his rendition of Who Are You Now by Christopher and Stephen Stills (which segued into Crossroads halfway through). No wonder he had to fix a split fingernail with a pungent unguent and grab a dry shirt in the interval. Over the many years Jesse has been gigging around town, Jesse has crammed a huge repertoire into his memory and offsets the wild and loud numbers with gentle, tender love songs. He injects a lot of humour into his performances, engaging in constant banter with the audience, checking them out, gauging reactions. During one exchange, he informed us that he’d recently been to see Steve Phillips and the Rough Diamonds at one of their Tuesday gigs at the Grosvenor in Robin Hoods Bay – and recommended them. Jesse has a set of regular followers and just about managed to contain his frustration at having to compete with the Liverpool v Besiktas match on a big screen at the end of the bar. Towards the end, he had most of them singing along to the chorus of Dylan’s Rock Me Mama. In the second of two sets spanning three hours, from 9pm to midnight, Jesse was joined by Frankie Dixon, who put the fantastic Reverberation exhibition together for Coastival. Apart from the Emmylou Harris cover
Jesse Hutchinson and Frankie Dixon at Cellars (to order this photo, please ring 353597) they began with, and one of Jesse’s, the songs were all by Frankie - a passionate, intuitive, mature and unconventional performer. Jesse’s setlist included Firecracker and Sweet Carolina by Ryan Adams, Every Night by Paul McCartney, Girl From the North Country and It’s All Over Now Baby Blue by Dylan, Brass Buttons by Gram Parsons, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Hearts & Bones and Slip Slidin’ Away by Paul Simon, Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers, Harvest Moon by Neil Young and The Shape I’m In by the Band. n Jesse Hutchinson and Frankie Dixon play at Cellars every Thursday night.

Bold plans unveiled at public meeting Words and photo by Dave Barry
Plans for two big building developments were displayed at a public consultation in Scarborough. The ambitious proposal for a large sports complex in Weaponness Valley has been taking shape for several years. But details of Lidl’s intention to erect a supermarket on half of the old McCain football ground had not previously been publicised. The other half of the former pitch has been earmarked for housing. The store will provide full- and parttime jobs for “up to 30” people working in a sales area of 1,286 square metres, including a bakery. Extra traffic lights, controlling access to and exit from a free 99-space carpark, will not be needed, officials have stated. Under the proposals, the Weaponness site, using the southern part of the existing coachpark, would become a ‘leisure village’ with a 2,000-capacity stadium for Scarborough Athletic football club and a 25m swimming pool. In addition, two educational establishments involving Coventry University and a University Technical College would share a campus on the site. The consultation was held over eight hours across two days at Falsgrave Community Resource Centre. Council leader Tom Fox said the venue
was chosen as it was “within easy reach of the communities that are directly affected by the proposals at Weaponness and the former football ground”. Representatives of Scarborough Council, developers Wrenbridge Land, planning consultants Indigo Planning, Scarborough Athletic and Lidl answered questions and collected feedback. Wrenbridge MD Peter Jarman said the sports complex would be “a state of the art sports and leisure facility and community stadium”. Planning applications for the two sites were due to be submitted to the council’s planning department by the time we went to press.

The Market Hall
Businesses hoping for value from market Hall makeover by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk BUSINESS owners in the Market Hall and Vaults in Scarborough are in high spirits after the announcement for a £2.7 million re-development of the building was announced. An application for funds was made by the Regeneration team at Scarborough Borough Council and the Business School at the Scarborough Campus of University of Hull. Cllr Derek Bastiman, Scarborough Borough Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Planning said: “This is the beginning of a new era for the Market Hall and will inject some confidence, not only into the lovely old building, but the excellent businesses we have trading in there. We will be in a position to attract more traders into the area creating more jobs and better opportunities. We aim to regenerate old crafts and intend to see apprentice bakers and butchers once more working in the area.” Cllr Bill Chatt, Scarborough Borough Council Cabinet Member for Public Health and Housing added: “This investment will not only make a massive difference for our residents in the historic old town, but bring new life to the area, which will attract people from all over the town. It will go even further and become a destination for visitors from other parts of the borough and beyond.”
Ryan Morrison and Becky Clifford of Deli Delicious
The Scarborough Campus of the University of Hull has been part of the project from the outset. It is developing an on-line shopping facility for the Market Hall, which will enable market traders to sell their produce via the internet with the customer looking at just one website and making a single payment, even if they are purchasing from several shops. The interior of the Market Hall will look dramatically different with a new mezzanine floor running round three sides of the building, housing new food operators and business units whilst the existing stalls will be replaced with more modern units.
Ian Hutchinson of DJ Horsley butchers
Ian Hutchinson, owner of DJ Horsley butchers said: “It is an exciting time for the market and it is what is needed to move with the times. “Hopefully it will start attracting more people to shop here and sample all the excellent fresh produce and products on offer.” David Kelly, Scarborough Borough Council Economic Development Manager added: “The Market Hall will be dramatically different from how it is now and will be a great example of a 21st century market. We want to provide a better place for our existing businesses, an exciting place for new traders to move to or start up in and a great destination for shoppers and diners.”

Getting Under The Skin Of Potatoes EVERYBODY loves potatoes in one form or another. From creamy mash with gravy to crispy chips and tasty jackets they are part of our everyday diet but are they difficult to grow? Well, no not really. You don’t have to have a huge allotment or acres of space to cultivate some tasty morsels. In fact, even with only a yard or a balcony you can still get a good crop of spuds to be proud of. The key to success is choosing the right variety. Have a look in your local garden centre where seed potatoes are on the shelves now and choose a variety with a fast sounding name such as Rocket, Concorde or Swift. These are the “earlies” which you can plant first and harvest in mid summer. Once you’ve got them home stand them upright in an old egg box on the windowsill or green house staging to allow the ‘eyes’ to develop into small buds. Traditionally, potatoes are planted on Good Friday and the kids will be on holiday so it’s a good time to enlist their help. Find a large
pot or container and put a layer of compost in the bottom. Place your seed potatoes on this nice comfy bed and cover them over with more compost. Give them a good water. In a few weeks’ time you will see the leaves beginning to emerge . When they are about nine inches high pile some more compost into the tub around the growing plants which will help to stop them flopping over. Repeat the earthing up process until the pot is full. As the summer progresses don’t forget to water. Many schools across the Borough use this method of growing as a great introduction to gardening for youngsters because the spuds are easily managed by small hands and the kids can see results quite quickly. By mid summer the plants will be ready to harvest and that’s when the fun begins! Get your youngsters to tip the pots out and look at their smiley faces as they dig around looking for treasure. And the best is yet to come. With early potatoes you don’t have to waste time peeling! Just wash them under the tap, put them in the pot and then enjoy with lashings of butter. Bon appetit!

Coastival steps back in time Words and photo by Dave Barry A TERRIFIC nostalgia trip was a big hit at this year’s Coastival in Scarborough. The Reverberation exhibition, at the Spa, followed the festival theme of Back in Time. The extensive display looked at livemusic venues of the last few decades through photos, newspaper cuttings, posters, memorabilia such as guitars and an oral history of the town’s vibrant musical heritage. Most if not all of the material is to be stored on an electronic archive. On the first evening of the event, Reverberation was complemented by performances from many of the musicians who had played at the Penthouse, the Stage Door, the Talbot, etc. Sharing the bill were Prendo and friends, the Pop Pigs, Vertical Dead Quartet, Tom Townsend and DJs Paul Murray, Eric Richardson aka Noid, Mark Stanley and Mr Tooley. The chronological theme continued the
next evening with Timeless, featuring equally fine performances from Smoove & Turrell, Nubiyan Twist and Stone Penguin, a vinyl DJ and VJ collective including Kista, Mr Tooley and Filey Selassie.
Next year’s Coastival will be from 12-14 February (To order these photos, please ring 353597). Vox jazz choir at the Rotunda
At the Spa, Coastival also featured Backseat Mafia in the Suncourt room, Acoustic Lounge in the bar, interactive screen-effects and music by Rob Mackay and Sam Eaton in Sounds of our Surroundings in the darkened Regency room, a film of last year’s Coastival parade in the theatre, films in the Suncourt and children’s entertainment in the foyer. Away from the Spa, other Coastival highlights included various choirs at the art gallery, a literary lunch with speaker Allan Mallinson at the Crescent Hotel and Rat Race by Frolicked Outdoor Puppet Theatre in the town centre.

About 100 people attended Vox jazz choir’s stunning performance of contemporary pop, alternative classical and folk at the Rotunda (which was slightly marred by the lift beeping every few minutes). Smoove & Turrell
Penguin island open date set!
By Krystal Starkey THE Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary is set to open up its brand new walkthrough feature, Penguin Island on Saturday 28th March. Visitors will get the unique opportunity to walk alongside its cute colony of Humboldt penguins in their brand new island home as part of the admission fee. Richard Dilly, General Manager at The Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary, said: “Penguin Island promises to be an excellent addition to our magical underwater world and it will give both children and adults alike the chance to dive into the world of Humboldt penguins. “People will be able to come face-to-face with these endearing birds and watch as
they splash and swim in their pool and waterfall.” He said.
The Penguin Island Humboldt colony is made up of an assortment of characters including two adorable chicks that have been hand-reared by dedicated aquarists at the attraction and the most recent addition to the family, a female penguin chick who hatched in June 2014. The Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary is also home to sharks, turtles, starfish, otters and hundreds of other incredible sea creatures, as well as Yorkshire’s only seal hospital. n To find out more about The Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary, or to book tickets, visit www.visitsealife.com/scarborough/

Scarborough Strata by Will Watts
FOR the second ever piece in this series I want to take a quick look at one of the most iconic group of fossils found on the Yorkshire Coast; dinosaur footprints. During the Middle Jurassic period, around 165 million years ago, Scarborough was a very different place. Firstly we were located much further South on the globe, around where North Africa is today. Large rivers flowed across the region, from the North towards the South and East. These rivers were big, the size of the Mississippi, and they moved huge
amounts of sediment, forming the very distinctive sandstones we see today at places like Burniston and Cloughton (it is also the same sandstone used for the building stones of those same villages and many other locations). The banks of these rivers were covered in lush vegetation, plants such as cycads, horsetails and tree ferns that we still recognise today, but no flowering plants or grass, it will be many millions of years before they arrive on the scene. The vegetation attracted the predominant
animals of the age, the dinosaurs, which in turn left behind their footprints. Today we recognise nearly 30 different prints representing all the main types of dinosaurs, including both herbivores and carnivores. These footprints can still be seen on the coast and in collections at places like Whitby Museum, the Yorkshire Museum and of course the Rotunda in Scarborough. Much of the research on these prints was done by Prof Mike Romano and Dr Martin
Whyte based at Sheffield University. Sadly, Dr Whyte passed away in 2013 and it is very fitting that the Yorkshire Geological Society are holding a public meeting in his honour later this year, right here in Scarborough.

Showbiz is in Linda’s blood
Linda Newport (to order this photo, ring 353597)
Words and portrait by Dave Barry THE world of showbusiness courses through Scarborough actor Linda Newport’s veins. Linda, creative director at Tony Peers Productions, has worked with more stars and celebrities than she can remember. Career highlights include working with Dean Martin at the London Palladium, sharing the bill of a West End charity show with Tom Jones and performing for the Queen when the open-air theatre reopened. Looking back at a long career (which isn’t over yet), Linda says it all began with dancing school in her native Barnsley and being brought up on Motown and the
Philadelphia sound. After leaving school in the mid-70s, she made shirts for M&S in Barnsley but hankered for the stage and auditioned as a dancer for a London show. Reaching the final encouraged her to try again and she landed the role of principal in Dick Whittington in St Helens, aged 19. “I’ve been in showbiz ever since,” she says. After a nationwide tour in another panto, Pinocchio, Linda joined Mari Wilson and the Wilsatians, who had top-10 hits with Just What I’ve Always Wanted and Cry Me a River, touring Europe and the US. Then she joined Rocky Sharpe and the Replays who toured with Cannon & Ball as a support act, along with the up-andcoming Bobby Davro. “We did a summer season in Torquay when Cannon & Ball were at the height of their fame, in the 80s,” she says. “I had a fantastic time with Cannon & Ball; they were hilarious,” Linda says. The next stop on a whirlwind tour of British showbiz was with the Stutz Bear Cats, a four-part harmony group and England’s equivalent of Manhattan Transfer. “I did lots of TV and corporate work with them and a lot of work on cruise liners,” she says. “We were on Morecambe & Wise and performed with people like Dean Martin and Ken Dodd at the Palladium.” The early 1990s saw Linda working with Joe Longthorne on a season at Blackpool Opera House and a tour which took in the Futurist in Scarborough. Linda returned to the place she now calls home for the final show at the Royal
Opera House, which by then was falling apart. “Water was coming in through the roof and it was freezing back stage; we had little heaters to keep us warm.” Jon Conway of Artiste Management Group (now Qdos) went to see the show and invited Linda to join AMG. She spent the next nine years in panto all over the country, starting with Peter Pan in Southend, alongside Joe Pasquale and Leslie Grantham. Jon and Qdos partner Nick Thomas later booked Linda for three summer seasons at Scarborough Spa, in the mid-90s. At around the same time, Linda met her partner, Colin Buckle, and moved to Scarborough to be with him. Colin was then a spotlight operator at the Corner Café and is now Tony Peers’ sound engineer. “I continued to work for Qdos, doing panto tours and cabarets, until 2002”, Linda says. “Then I started to work for Tony, who was the comic in the summer seasons at the Spa.” In 2006, she became Tony’s creative director, devising and directing shows and music, as well as performing in them. “This will be my 14th year at the Spa, apart from 2008 when I worked with Billy Pearce in Bridlington.” Linda and Tony are now planning two summer shows and a Christmas panto for the Spa. The Billy Pearce Laughter Show and The Best of Thoroughly Modern Musicals will each run for three nights a week from May to September. And, 30 years after playing Dick Whittington in Rotherham, Linda returns to the panto at the end of the year. Today, Linda says she enjoys developing
up-and-coming talent and loves putting the music together for shows. She still loves soul and Motown, plus swing, jazz and, inevitably, musicals. Linda and Tony get on famously. “He’s hilarious, he really cheers me up,” Linda says. “He has the wit of the devil and he really makes me laugh!” Outside her professional life, Linda gets her kicks from travel. Favourite places include the Maldives and Cuba. She and Colin, who live in Newby, are going to Las Vegas for his birthday.

Local choir to back top tenor at Spa Words and photo by Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH’S Graham Community Choir will be Russell Watson’s backing group at the top tenor’s Spa show on 7 March. The £32.50-a-head concert will also feature soprano Rebecca Newman and the Masquerade Quartet. The experience will provide a “chance to use our language skills in Italian and French”, says music director Bill Scott. “It should be a memorable experience, being Russell’s backing group”. The choir will sing the following songs with Russell: Toreador from Carmen, Va Pensiero (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Nabucco, Nessun Dorma from Turandot, You Raise Me Up, Faith of the Heart and Funiculi, Funicular.

The team was dominated by the most talented Irishmen of their generation and managed by Terry Neill and this was the real deciding factor for the youngest son of an Irish mother Before long Damian Kelly was reciting sound bites from Match of the Day whist playing football with his brothers or playing subbuteo. He said: “Jennings rolls the ball to Nelson and onto Rice. Rice lays it square to O’Leary. O’ Leary pushes forward and spreads the ball wide to Brady on the left. Brady skips past two Liverpool players and puts in a cross to MacDonald and he smashes it into the corner….gooooaaalll!” The disappointment of the 1978 FA cup Final defeat to Ipswich Town was short lived and another instalment of FA cup glory against Manchester United awaited. Arguably the best ever finish to a final, Damian recalls how Arsenal legend Liam Brady put in a performance that will stay long in the memory. He added: “Brady dominated midfield with an array of passes and fearless tackles, it was Brady’s dogged determination and two assists that made it such a famous win.”

FOOTBALL is well and truly coming home with the inaugural Seagull Cup. The brand new tournament will be held at Hull University Scarborough Campus on Filey Road on Saturday March 28 and is being run by Scarborough Athletic’s very own under-12s team. Coach Sean Leighton said: “This tournament is all about showing local youngsters that they have a football club for the town that they can aspire to play for and support. “The actual competition is for under-9/8s teams in the area and it will be a whole day of activities for a full day of family fun.” the 1994 cup winner’s cup final. The declared armchair fan finally visited Highbury in 1994 only to witness yet another boring boring Arsenal display against Sunderland. A misunderstanding in spectator etiquette saw Damian ejected from the family area but this did not deter him from his devotion to Arsenal which continues to this day. He explains with a boyish eagerness: “These last 20 years have seen some of the best players in the world at Arsenal from Bergkamp to Henry and more recently to the prodigy that is Alexis Sanchez. Arsene Wenger is the best for finding and developing talent.”
The tournament has the full backing of the FA Respect campaign and will be run by the under-12s players, coaches and parents, with various stalls and fun activities on offer. Sean added: “It should be a great day and will hopefully showcase what Scarborough Athletic can do for the community, and that football is coming back to Scarborough. “We would like to say a big thank you to the University for the use of their excellent 3G pitch and changing room facilities and to everyone who is getting involved.” n To enter a team in the tournament or for more information contact Sean on 07473001118 or Dave Chamberlain on 07769948081. “Hopefully this team can win the F.A cup now that Brazilian Gabriel has joined from Villareal. What I crave for most is European success. There’s something magical about European finals.”
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger His enthusiasm wanes as Damian reflects: “My concern these last few years is his ability to get a good team together and keep it. The obvious frailties in defence have not been fixed by Steve Bould or the additions of world cup winning trio of Mertesacker et al. Arsenal suffer such high numbers of injuries I wonder if there are other Damian, back row second from right during his playing days at St problems as yet Peter’s School in Scarborough undetected.

Baker rose to the challenge during successful Boro spell by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
DEFENDER Steve Baker arrived at Boro in 2001 from Middlesbrough FC and soon became popular with the fans with his solid displays at the back. Baker was new manager Russell Slade’s first signing in what was to prove a successful period for the club with their epic FA Cup run of 2004 where they lost out to Premier League giants Chelsea in the Fourth Round at a jam-packed McCain Stadium. Baker, 36, said: “I remember joining Scarborough like it was yesterday and it was a great decision for me. I had been loaned out from Middlesbrough to the
likes of Huddersfield Town, who then were managed by Steve Bruce, Darlington and Hartlepool. “My contract was up at Middlesbrough and Russell Slade wanted me, so the decision was pretty easy to make.” The FA Cup run in 2004 was a bitter sweet experience for Baker. He added: “It was unbelievable the amount of coverage the club was getting and the buzz around the town was brilliant. I only lasted 20 odd minutes in the Chelsea game which was a bit of an anti-climax. “I think if it had been a league game I would not had played as I was carrying a slight hamstring strain. But there was no
way I was going to miss Chelsea and I can say I played some part.” Baker started his career at Leeds United before signing YTS terms with Middlesbrough where he got to sample the big time.
“I hope that Scarborough Athletic can get back to playing in the town now because my mate Paul Foot is the joint manager and it would be great for the town and the fans for it to happen.”
He said: “As a teenager I was playing in some big games at times including a League Cup semi-final at Anfield, which was crazy at the time. I also remember playing for Boro on a pre-season tour match against PSV Eindhoven and I was marking young Brazilian striker Ronaldo. You could tell then he was going to go on and be great. “I also got to play for Republic of Ireland under-21s with players such as Robbie Keane, Ian Harte and Damien Duff, which was also one of the best spells of my career.” Baker spent six years at Scarborough before leaving to play for Gateshead but he made many friends during his time on the coast and is looking forward to catching up with some of them. Baker added: “Neal Bishop is one of my best mates and he has had a good career at Notts County, Blackpool and now at Scunthorpe United, so hopefully he will be there. I still speak to Mark Quayle while Tony Hackworth was the best man at my wedding.
Baker’s long-term friend and Scunthorpe United midfielder Neal Bishop
“It will be great to catch up with them and people like Mark Hotte, Mark Patterson and Scott Kerr and have a good old chat about the old days. Baker goes toe-to-toe with Liverpool’s Steve McManaman

DANNY Tyler was crowned the first ever Castle Sports Invitational Blackball Singles pool champion after winning a pulsating final against Dion Moulding. The victory saw winner Danny collect a cool £450 with runner-up Dion receiving £200. The two players were hard to separate in the early stages of the match with neither player looking nervous or affected by the occasion. It wasn’t until Dion went on to take a 7-3 lead that the match started to get tense. Danny then steadied the ship to at least stay in the contest with Dion leading 10-7. Danny went on to win the next frame by pulling

out an exquisite clearance before Dion went unlucky with the cue ball going in off after a difficult shot. In a fitting scenario for such an encounter the final went into a decider before Danny held his nerve to win the coveted shield for the first time. The new local competition has been a huge success and is set to be even bigger this year. Competition organiser Stefan Hague said: “We have been very pleased with how the tournament has been received and already there are lots of players signed up for this year’s competition. “The more players we get, the bigger the prize funds and the more exciting it will be. “I would like to say well done to Danny and Dion for putting on a great final and to everyone who has supported the competition.”

SCARBOROUGH Athletic FC continues to attract the support of local businesses.
The course, led by Judo For All National Coach, Sampson Sampson caused a stir in the seaside town. From across the country they came to test their strength of spirit, putting themselves through a rigorous regime that saw them start their training session at 6:30am at Hackness Village Hall. Two and a half hours later they were allowed to break for breakfast at the Spa Complex and still wearing their white judo kits they were taken down to the beach where they took part in running, judo throwing moves and even a dip in the cold North Sea.
The latest to show their support for the club is Falsgrave Funeral Service, set up in October 2014 by Peter and Jane Dowkes. Falsgrave Funeral Service pride themselves on providing a professional, independent service that caters to the individual needs of families at a difficult time.
Dave Hammond (right) gets to grips with Gareth England
“It was a hard, hard course,” says local organiser Dave Hammond of the Ippon Judo Club. “These guys were put through a tough session on the Friday evening and then on Saturday and Sunday they had to be up early for more. The tuition they received was second to none and make no mistake they were worked very hard. They all showed great spirit when we took them on to the sea front and quite a crowd gathered to watch what we were doing.” The Scarborough-based club is less than a year old, but amongst those that came from as far afield as Scotland and Sussex there was a smattering of local enthusiasts who are helping the club, which is based at The Street, get established. “We have a very different ethic to those that think Judo is merely a sport,” explained Dave. “We are working on building people’s courage, determination and self-respect and here in Scarborough we have the makings of a very good club.”

From our initial meeting right through to the funeral, we are there to help ensure that everything runs smoothly and that your loved ones are given the send off they deserve.” Boro Director Geoff Osguthorpe was thrilled that another local business had come forward to support the club. “As the club nears a return to Scarborough we are keen to engage with as many local businesses as possible before the move to Weaponness. “To have the support of independent traders such as Peter and Jane at Falsgrave Funeral Service is vital to the club to ensure that we kick on when we get back playing in town again.” Falsgrave Funeral Service are based on 50 Falsgrave Road, Scarborough, and can be contacted on 01723 343908 or via www.falsgravefuneralservice.co.uk n If you would like to join the growing number of businesses in Scarborough to get behind the club, please contact Will Baines on 07969 247565 or by email on club.communications@scarboroughathletic.com

Ton done for Davidson and Plummer Boro players Pete Davidson and Matty Plummer were presented with bottles of fizz recently to mark their 100th starting appearances for the club. Plummer went past the century mark in the NRSC Senior Cup tie against Pickering, now clocking up 109 starts with the Boro. The 26-year-old signed for Boro from North Ferriby United back in December 2011, and has been a consistent performer across the defence over the years. Davidson made it to 100 starts for the club in the recent win over Clitheroe. After joining Scarborough Athletic in the summer of 2012, the midfielder has scored eight times during his time at the club and was part of the promotion winning NCEL Premier Division side.

Alex Metcalfe picks a pass against Clitheroe
Paul Foot and Bryan Hughes look on from the dugout during the win over Droylsden
by Will Baines
SCARBOROUGH Athletic Joint-Manager Paul Foot has praised his side as they look set for an exciting end to the season. Boro swept aside Clitheroe last weekend to go four league games unbeaten in February, consolidating fourth place in the Evo-Stik First Division North. Fixtures coming up in March include crunch clashes against play-off rivals Bamber Bridge and Farsley, with the Athletic boss pleased with how things are shaping up with 12 games to go. He said: “The lads have done everything that Bryan (Hughes) and I have asked them since taking over and grinded out the wins over the last few weeks. “The whole squad has worked hard to put us in the position we are, from the guys starting to the players on the bench, who have come in and done a job for us when needed. “There’s a great togetherness as we keep building the momentum. The lads are feeling it and getting the bit between their teeth ahead of the run-in to the end of the season.” A 3-2 win over Burscough set the ball rolling as new signing Tom Corner bagged a brace, with Gary Bradshaw adding a third to claim all three points. A superb first-half performance then sent the Seadogs to a 2-1 victory over Clitheroe at Queensgate, with Gary Bradshaw curling in a superb free-kick form 25 yards in the opening minutes before the Boro striker saw his penalty saved by Peter Collinge after a foul on new signing Cameron Murray. Bradshaw’s blushes were spared as Tom Corner was sent sprawling trying to gather the rebound from the penalty, with Matt McGrath pointing for the second time in less than a few minutes. Corner picked himself up to send Collinge the wrong way and make it 2-0 to the Seadogs on the stroke of half-time. Despite a late consolation from Ross Dent, the Seadogs held on for a twelfth home win. The following weekend at play-off hopefuls Droylsden, Boro took the lead as Jimmy Beadle lashed in from a Robson freekick on the hour mark. It looked like they would hold on for the win, but in the 89th minute Ciaran Kilheeney let the ball run across him before flicking over Cracknell to equalise. But Boro refused to be beaten and snatched the winner in time added on when late sub Ryan Blott ran onto the ball before a delicate lob slammed off the crossbar, with Corner running on to sweep home and give Athletic all three points. A potential banana skin against Thornaby in the North Riding Senior Cup Quarter Final turned into a rout as Boro triumphed 11-1 to go through to play Middlesbrough in the next round. Jimmy Beadle netted four times, Blott and Metcalfe grabbing a couple each plus goals for Plummer, Bennett and Hughes. Boro had too much firepower for Thornaby, who kept going right to the end despite the increasing score line.
Tom Corner races clear The win away at Clitheroe last weekend was sealed just before the break by Alex Metcalfe as he nipped in to slide the ball through the keeper’s legs. Boro had further opportunities to extend their lead through Metcalfe and Tom Corner, who saw his shot cannon off the post and roll along the goal line, but a strong defensive display was enough to claim another win. The impact of Hughes and Foot since taking the helm cannot be understated, they have galvanised the squad and brought in quality new signings to add a real strength in depth to the first team. With just 12 games to go this season, Boro are in a great position to challenge for a play-off place at the end of April.

FILEY TOWN RESERVES are six points behind the leaders, with two games in hand, after a 4-2 win against Duchess, while third placed CAYTON CORINTHIANS won 6-0 against bottom side FC Rosette, with two goals apiece from Scott Davison and Curtis Freeman. NEWLANDS PARK RES were 4th in the table after beating Edgehill Res 4-1, and a Gary Maw strike earned 5th placed DUCHESS a 1-0 win against West Pier Reserves. Third division leaders SEAMER SPORTS RES look set for promotion after winning 12 of their opening 13 matches, but then suffered their first defeat with a 2-1 loss to Scalby Reserves, for whom Darren Eves and Janne Oinas were the scorers. Both Falsgrave Athletic and Cayton
Reserves, who beat Sleights Reserves 4-1 are chasing the other promotion spot, and new club EASTWAY SPORTS are currently 4th in the table after Eric Hall, Craig Moss and Mark Craven scored in a 3-0 win against Commercial. Another new club, SHERBURN have picked up after a slow start to the season, beating Scalby Reserves 5-0 (hat trick for Matty Pickard), and then Ayton Reserves 4-0, with Paul Mills 3 and Carl Sample the scorers. In League Cup quarter-final ties, EDGEHILL won 2-0 against Duchess and Ricky Tomlinson and James Pinder scored as FILEY TOWN beat Westover Wasps 2-1. The line-up for the semi-finals is Edgehill, Filey Town, Whitby Fishermen and Newlands Park or West Pier. ATHLETICO 2B had a stunning 7-6 win against Sherburn in the League Trophy quarter-finals, while DUCHESS beat Whitby Rugby Club 5-4 and CAYTON CORINTHIANS beat FC Rosette 5-2. In the Frank White Trophy the semi-finalists are FALSGRAVE ATHLETIC who beat Sleights Res 5-3 in the last eight, SEAMER SPORTS RES who overcame Tennyson 7-4, Westover Wasps Reserves and Ayton Reserves. Scarborough FA Harbour Cup semifinals to be played on 21 March, see Filey Town make the long trip North to play Lealholm, and Kirkbymoorside entertain Seamer Sports. The draw for the District Cup semi-finals is Edgehill v Filey Town on 14 March, and West Pier v Newlands Park on 28 March. Reigning champions TRAFALGAR are still top of the Scarborough News Sunday League first division, their most recent win being a 12-0 defeat of Itis Itis, with Neil Thomas scoring five and Jack Pinder contributing a hat trick. WEST PIER lost ground in the title race when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Klosters, and KLOSTERS then climbed to 3rd in the table with a 5-2 win against Commercial, with strikes by Dan Peel 2, Tom Scales 2 and Scott
Sheldon. NEWLANDS still bost a 100% record, but have played just five league matches because of their success in cup competitions, and in the Kenward Cup they thrashed second division leaders Trafalgar Res 13-0, with Drew McCoubrey and Stu Bates both slamming in five goals. TRAFALGAR RESERVES maintain top spot in Division Two, with 14 wins and 2 defeats from their first 16 matches. Their latest success was a 3-1 win against Heslerton, with two goals from Mikey Barker and one from Al Wray. SCARBOROUGH SPORTS BARROWCLIFFE are 2nd in the table and looking certainties for promotion, with Sean Naylor 5 and Zak Hansen 3 top scoring in an 8-5 defeat of Fylingdales Reserves, then Naylor scored another five as Newlands Res were beaten 11-0. HESLERTON claimed a crucial 2-1 win against fellow promotion hopefuls West Riding thanks to two goals from Gareth Driver, but WEST RIDING bounced back to beat Ayton 7-3 the following week, and those two sides are likely to contest the second promotion place. CAYTON stunned Heslerton in the quarter-finals of the Goalsports Trophy, winning 5-1 with Jake McAleese grabbing all five goals, and the following Sunday McAleese scored a hat trick as Cayton beat Roscoes Bar 7-1 in the league. George Thompson was another hat trick hero, as HULL UNIVERSITY beat bottom side Scarborough Spa 5-0. Liam Rowley, Mark Kenyon and Jack Worthy were the scorers for ROSCOES BAR in a 3-2 win against Hull University. The Scarborough News District League Rep team will travel to Thornaby FC to play the Teesside League XI in the National Inter League Knockout Cup on Wednesday, 1 April. Anyone wishing to travel on the bus is asked to contact Sean Hunter on 07939 509187 for further details.

GOLFING REVIEW by derrick Arden north cliff driving on with major improvements
Back to back wins for Craig Hewitt
Brian Messruther (L) & Craig Hewitt (R) winners of the Alliance Tankards at the North Cliff meeting.
Showing a similar CQL locker installation. NORTH Cliff Golf Club has started to implement significant changes to bring fresh impetus to their drive for a bright future and greater involvement with the local community. The clubhouse is also being upgraded starting with the gents’ locker and washroom facilities and that work is already in progress. Both the golf professional Fraser Kelley and caterer Peter Kirby have been in place for over a year and continue to develop and provide additional excellent quality services in their respective roles. Even more importantly the Club has taken the decision to re-affirm its policy of putting members first and foremost in its operations and marketing. Over recent years due to financial constraints many clubs have resorted to flooding their courses with casual players paying cheap green fees, in many cases much to the detriment of playing opportunities for members. Visitors will of course always be welcome at North Cliff but the Club intends to manage their presence so as not to unduly inconvenience the Club members. With regard to the local community the Club will continue to offer various membership opportunities for new members of all ages in both playing and social categories. The Club’s junior coaching academy starts again in April and the adult golf apprenticeship scheme is always available for male and female beginners or those wishing to get back into golf after an absence from the game. The club house facilities are also available to members and guests for functions such as wedding receptions, birthday parties etc. and for community social clubs. As their marketing brochure states ‘We are more than just a golf course’ so talk to the team, call 355397 or visit our website www.scarboroughnorthcliffgolfclub for further information on any of the above items, you can also follow the club twitter or Facebook.

ROUNDS 6 & 7 of the Flamborough & District Rabbits Alliance were held at North Cliff on 11 Feb and at Malton & Norton Golf Club on the 18. As expected North Cliff made full use of home advantage to extend their lead at the head of the league standings to a massive 54 points when three of their pairs finished in the top four. Craig Hewitt & Brian Messruther took first place in the pairs with a brilliant nett 61. After seven holes they were two under but then Craig holed his third shot on the par five for an eagle, Brian then birdied the par five ninth with a shot for another nett eagle to take them to six under at the turn. Birdies by Craig at the 10th & 15th holes were then backed up with a big finish from Brian as he posted another nett eagle on the 16th followed by a birdie at the last to give them an 11 under par total of 61. After a count back second place went to Malton & Norton pair A. Morrow & E. Conway who finished on 64 and that score was matched by M.Leppington & R.Cannon North Cliff for third spot and P.Brookes & T.Marshall,
also North Cliff who had to settle for fourth. At Malton North Cliff once again provided the winning pair in the 4bbb competition when Craig Hewitt & Brian Taylor posted an excellent score of 63 to win by three clear shots. M.Johnson & M. Hoal of the host club took second place on 66 after a count back, just edging South Cliff pair K. Hall & P. Johnson also on 66 into third spot. Another Malton & Norton pair E.Conway & K.Langthorne finished with a nett 67 for fourth prize. With both NC and M&N posting team scores of 200 that leaves NC still 54 shots clear with just one meeting to come. Team Scores after round seven were as follows (M&N result in brackets:- 1st North Cliff 1378 (200); 2nd Malton & Norton 1432 (200); 3rd South Cliff 1442 (206); 4th Filey 1469 (210); 5th Whitby 1478 (219); 6th Brid Links 1479 (215); 7th Kirkbymoorside 1479 (221); 8th Driffield 1483 (217); 9th Brid Bel. 1503 (216); 10th Flamborough 1505 (217).
new lady captain off to a flying start
Filey Vice-Capt. Pat Brown (L), Lady Capt. Jenny Davis (C) & Lady President Ruby Turnbull (R).
the best place to watch all the sport!
FILEY Golf Club Ladies got 2015 off to a flying start with the installation of their new Lady Captain Jenny Davis. The beginning of her term of office was marked with a drive in competition over 13 holes in a 3:2:1 three ball better ball AM/AM stableford format. Lady Captain Jenny Davis, Lady Vice Captain Pat Brown and Lady President Ruby Turnbull led off from the first tee and then proceeded to show the rest of the field a clean pair heels posting a great score of 57 points, good enough to win by three points from Mandy Ingram, Christine Mitchell & Barbara Smith in second spot on 54 points with Liz Cammish, Stacey Valentine and Trish Nicholson taking third place on 52 points. All in all a very good start for the new Captain and an enjoyable day for all who took part.
