Since it closed, just over four years ago, the Futurist has been broken into several times by adventurous photographers. Asbestos removal is one of the top priorities for the Futurist demolition firm, along with cliff stabilisation. Willmott Dixon have warned people not to be alarmed at the sight of workers in “full-body coveralls” as the old asbestos is carefully removed. It will take about a month. Then the focus will switch to the steep slope between the Futurist and King Street carpark, which has to be stabilised to avoid a postdemolition landslip. About 3,500 cubic metres of earth will be

Recognition for young Mayoress becomes a beacon for mammograms leaders in Eastfield Words and photo by Dave Barry A LEADERS programme has given young people a chance to learn and work alongside staff at a youth club, building their confidence and self-esteem. It is run by the county council’s Children and Families Prevention Service operating on the south side of Scarborough and in Filey. The successful young leaders attended training sessions, designed information boards, planned and delivered activities and undertook weekly responsibilities at Eastfield Youth Club. At a presentation evening at Ourspace in Moor Lane, Eastfield, they were given certificates, and trophies by the mayors of Scarborough and Filey, Martin Smith and Richard Walker. The young leaders are Chloe Buxton, Dylan
Riley, Alex Potter, Jake Chapman, Daniel Baxter, Leon Newton and Maddie Williams. Leon and Maddie were unable to attend the ceremony. The event showcased the work of the youth club and the achievements of young people in the area. It was sponsored by St Cecilia’s, which was represented by Aaron Padgham, and Yorkshire Coast Homes, represented by Stephanie Lake. Stalls were manned by the Prevention Service and partner agencies. The Prevention Service helps children, young people and their families with school attendance; it helps young people who aren’t in education, employment or training; it offers parenting support; and it assigns outreach workers to work closely with families.

Car driver vandalises cemetery A YOUNG driver damaged graves and gouged deep tyre-tracks in a Scarborough cemetery. A black vehicle was seen driving in an antisocial manner in Woodlands cemetery next to the crematorium. The vehicle skidded on the grass and travelled for some distance until it became stuck. It had to be removed by a vehicle recovery service. The police were called and quickly identified and interviewed the driver, who had two male passengers.
Crematorium staff contacted and informed relatives of the people whose graves were damaged. Sgt Daniel Thompson of the neighbourhood policing team, said: “This incident has caused great upset for local people and we want to reassure them that the investigation is progressing. “In the meantime, we ask people not to speculate about who may be responsible and allow the justice process to take its course”.
Man stabbed and seriously injured A MAN in his 20s was badly wounded when he was stabbed in Scarborough. He was attacked on Ramshill Road, near the ABC taxi office, at around 10.25pm on 22 February. He was taken to hospital where his injuries were described as “serious but not lifethreatening”. Three men aged 21, 29 and 46 were arrested; two are in police custody and one has been released. They have been charged with possession of a knife blade or a sharp, pointed object in a
public place, possession of a class-B drug (cannabis), possession with intent to supply class-A drugs (crack cocaine and heroin) and wounding with intent. A police spokesman said: “Detectives are not looking for anyone else and we’d like to reassure people there is no wider threat to the public”. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information that could help the investigation is urged to ring 101, select option 2 and ask for Scarborough’s serious crime team. Quote incident number 12180031609.

When Cherry passed the age of being routinely called for a mammogram every three years, she requested one nonetheless. “My mother had breast cancer so I felt I should continue having a mammogram”, she explains. Erring on the side of caution proved a lifesaving tactic as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in November.

She has been told that no more surgery is necessary and that her wound is healing well. She has just begun a course of chemotherapy and will have treatments every three weeks. This will be followed by 15 daily treatments of radiotherapy over another three weeks, at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, near Hull. “My cancer was grade three, which is invasive and particularly aggressive”, she says. “All this because of a telephone call”, she adds, referring to the call she made to ask for a mammogram. “You can be walking around oblivious to cancer cells”. Knowing that the chemotherapy would make her hair fall out, Cherry decided to have it all cut off, in a sponsored head shave.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk A wintry scene
Well-loved matriarch has lived in town for a century Words and main photo by Dave Barry
Snow causes road problems Photos by Dave Barry A COUPLE of inches of snow brought traffic in Scarborough and Filey to a standstill during Wednesday morning’s rush hour. Hazardous driving conditions prevailed on the Scarborough to Whitby road, Racecourse Road and Staxton Hill in particular. Some
vehicles were abandoned. Temperatures have been at or below zero for most of the week and more snow was forecast for this weekend. The absence of strong wind meant snow built up on trees and undergrowth, creating a magical effect.
Scout group celebrates 60th anniversary Words and photo by Dave Barry AS PART of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Derwent Valley Scout Group challenged young members to design a new badge. The winning design, by Ethan Glover, will now be worn on the uniforms. The standard of entries was so high that second and third prizes were awarded to Olivia Cook and George Walls. All three received a book token and a framed certificate at the group’s weekly meeting in Irton on Tuesday. The group is in the final stages of arranging a day of celebrations for past and present leaders, helpers and members, on 16 June. Ring Beryl Lewis on 863793 for details. Formed in June 1958, the group was initially called the 51st Scarborough and District. It was run by the vicar at the church rooms in Seamer. A few years later, the vicar’s wife launched a cub pack. In 1967, county councillor Stanley Bell opened new premises, a cold and draughty barn on what were then the village outskirts. The group took its current name. In 1975, a piece of land was donated on the site of its present premises, next to Irton Garden Centre on Irton Moor Lane. Mick Walls, who worked at the wireless sta-
tion, acquired a prefabricated building for the site. Mick died over 30 years ago and has a memorial seat dedicated to him outside the scout hut. His granddaughter Alicia is one of the cubs in today’s group (she isn’t related to George). A few years later, blue asbestos was found in the building. Beryl, who was the group scout leader at the time, led a campaign to raise £37,000 to reclad the building. “Not one single meeting was cancelled during the refurbishment”, she recalls, proudly. The fundraising didn’t stop there as money is always needed for one thing or another. Over the years, the building’s kitchen, toilet block, play area, leaders room and garden have been upgraded. Derwent Valley used to have two cub packs, the Cougars and the Jaguars. The Cougars were closed down 30 years ago due to lack of numbers but relaunched last year. Both packs are now full.

A WOMAN who has lived in Scarborough for 100 years is about to celebrate her big birthday with a party and champagne. Maudie Moor has been sustained by a great sense of humour, good health and the love and support of her family. Winifred Maud Cappleman was born during the first world war, on 5 March 1918, at her grandparents’ home in Potter Lane in the old town - making her a bone-fide bottom ender. Her fisherman father, Edwin Coultas Cappleman, was killed in 1920 when his boat, the Strathord, hit one of the mines which were still floating around the North Sea. Maudie, as she has always been known, had a brother who was named after their father. She met her husband-to-be, Albert Moor, at St Thomas’s School at the top of Paradise, when she was aged five or six. They married a stone’s throw away, at St Mary’s Church and had three sons: Michael, born in 1944; Roy, born in 1948; and Barry, born in 1951. Albert became a chief petty officer in the Royal Navy and served on the convoys which relieved Malta in the second world war. He was one of many who left the navy to become a postman; he was based in Aberdeen Walk.
Albert died in 1963, aged 44. Maudie was in the RAF for a couple of years before the war and various jobs. She worked at Lisvane School and at the former Snowdrift laundry in St John's Road; her colleagues included van driver Bill Nicholson, who managed Tottenham Hotspurs. Maudie’s other jobs include one day working at Bottomley’s sweet shop in Trafalgar Street West (where the Samaritans are today). “She didn't like it”, says her daughterin-law Linda. When Roy was a baby, Maudie moved to Sandybed with Albert and lived there for nearly 70 years. She moved into Ravensworth Lodge nursing home in Belgrave Crescent just over a year ago. Clues to Maudie’s longevity lie in her active life. Besides having physically demanding jobs and three boys to bring up, she always had dogs, so spent much time walking them. She has four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Today, Maudie uses a walking frame to get around and remains as sharp as a knife. Linda describes her as “the well-loved matriarch of the family”. The centenarian insists: “I’ve no idea how I've lived so long. I’m too damned old!”

Dolphins off the Yorkshire coast
A bottlenose dolphin breaching in the North Sea
SCARBOROUGH residents are lucky enough to get occasional visits by bottlenose dolphins between February and July each year. One was spotted in the south bay by lifeboat crewman Rudi Barman on 15 February. This marine animal will hunt fish, swim and breach in the sea off our shore. “There is a resident population of bottlenose dolphins off Scotland’s north-east coast in spring and early summer and some have visited the north-east coast of England”, says Stuart Baines, an assistant regional coordinator for the Sea Watch Foundation in Yorkshire. “There is a very good chance that these dolphins will be seen again off Scarborough in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for these fantastic animals”, says Stuart, who
lives in Scarborough. The bottlenose is recognised by its tall, central, sickle-shaped dorsal fin. It has a robust beak and a dark grey back and is a lighter grey underneath. “Adults are big, typically four metres long”, Stuart says. The bottlenose dolphin should not be confused with the harbour porpoise, which can be seen off Marine Drive all year round, and which is about 1.4m long. For further information on dolphin, porpoise and whale sightings off Scarborough, check out the Scarborough Porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages and the Sea Watch Foundation website or send an email to scarboroughporpoise@btinternet.com.

Local Greenpeace member Gilbert Morrey said: “Although the Antarctic is already a sanctuary, the sea around it is not. “The waters contain all the food needed by the animals we all know and love, such as penguins”, Mr Morrey said. He added: “Sadly, big companies are exploiting the food sources for use in commercial fish farms. “A Greenpeace ship is now carrying out research in the area and identifying all the problems”. The petition will be sent to the UK government, which is a member of the Antarctic Ocean Commission. n For more information, and to sign the petition, visit the Greenpeace website at www.greenpeace.org.uk.

Police seek public’s help over attacks on birds of prey Words and photo by Dave Barry THE police are urging visitors to Scarborough’s countryside to get involved with Operation Owl. This new initiative aim to reduce the number of illegal attacks on birds of prey. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act it is an offence to intentionally kill, injure or take wild birds. Nevertheless, birds of prey are still shot, poisoned and trapped – especially in areas where the land is managed for driven grouse shooting. North Yorkshire has more incidents of raptor persecution than any other county in England. Operation Owl is a joint initiative by the police, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the RSPCA, together with the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales national parks. The police will carry out surveillance checks on known raptor persecution hot-spots at random times to disrupt offender activity and work with local landowners to make them aware of the legal position on raptor persecution. National park volunteers will be trained to spot poisoned bait and illegal traps. The police are calling on the public to be the eyes and ears of the police when out in the countryside. North Yorkshire Police has what is believed to be the largest dedicated rural taskforce in the country; Chief Constable Dave Jones is the national lead on wildlife and rural crime. Sergeant Kevin Kelly of the taskforce says: “Our wonderful countryside is host to many specially protected birds of prey such as peregrine falcons, red kites, buzzards and owls. “It is absolutely unacceptable that people think they can ignore the law and subject these birds to poisonings, shootings, nest destruction and the illegal use of spring
A peregrine falcon on Scarborough cliffs traps without consequence. We will be doing everything in our power to catch offenders, supported by our colleagues in the RSPB and volunteers in the national parks. But the area is huge, so the more eyes and ears we have on the ground the better. That’s why we’re asking the public to help”. In particular, the police are asking the public to spot pole traps. Sergeant Kelly explained: “Trappers are using spring-loaded traps on top of posts to capture birds of prey that land on top of the post. The bird can struggle for hours before the trapper returns to kill them. These pole traps, as they are called, are illegal. We’re advising that anyone who sees a pole trap should ‘spring’ it if they can do so safely, note the location, take a photo, and call the police on 101 to report it. Our wildlife officers will take it from there”.

Pancake tossing and skipping on the seafront
Hundreds of people watched the races
Words and photos by Dave Barry THE weather could hardly have been worse for the pancake races on Scarborough seafront on Shrove Tuesday. It was cold, it was raining and a chilly breeze took the temperature down even lower. But it didn’t deter the hundreds of people who turned out to watch the races and cheer on the competitors. Entrants, in pairs, were judged on speed,

fancy dress, pancake flipping technique, entertainment value and how much pancake was left in the pan after tackling an obstacle course. It was won by one of two McDonalds teams. Jordan Hookem and Nicholas Lovering, from the fast-food chain’s drive-through at Crossgates, won a golden frying pan. The second team came from the town-centre branch.

The other teams represented CPH Property, Saint Catherine’s, Opera House Casino, Asquith & Co, Castle Employment, Hunters estate agents, First Locate and Royal Tandoori. The wooden spoon for coming last went to CPH. Every entrant won an ice cream at the Harbour Bar. Scarborough sea cadets served pancakes at
the Sea Cadets Hall in East Sandgate. The event, hosted by Yorkshire Coast Radio and the council, began at the same time as the traditional skipping, at noon. The signal for both events to commence came when the mayor rang the pancake bell. Children didn’t need to skip school as it was the half-term holiday. Foreshore Road was closed from 9.30am to 5pm.

THE Scampston Scramble will raise thousands of pounds for Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough. It will be staged in the grounds of Scampston Hall, near Rillington, on Sunday 13 May. Adults of all abilities will wriggle under, dive over and splash through a fun-filled 5km obstacle course. Fundraiser Rhiannon Hunt said: “The muddy course will be very busy so there will be staggered start times between 10am and 1pm”. Scramblers who want to take part together are advised to book the same start time. Rhiannon said: “We are over the moon with the response we have had so far”. She added that the hospice was grateful to event sponsor Jelf and to the venue for its support. To register, visit the hospice website. * Anybody interesting in volunteering at the hospice’s new Wellbeing Centre is invited to drop in on 6 March, from 4–6pm. The centre is a flexible day service aimed at a wider patient group.
Patients and carers will have access to doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and complementary therapists. Alongside this, the hospice is planning to offer patients and carers a range of activities and sessions that can help support independence and improve relaxation. The hospice wants to hear from anyone who could provide sessions in arts, crafts, music therapy, beauty therapy, make-up lessons, gardening, chiropody, complementary therapy, hair appointments, etc. For details, visit the hospice website or email Debbie.Jewison@saintcatherines.org.uk. * Saint Catherine’s is appealing to supporters to set themselves a challenge and raise money for the hospice. For example, last year, a man whose wife and mother-in-law died at the hospice raised £512 on a 38-mile off-road bike ride from Robin Hoods Bay to Whitby then to Scarborough and back to Bay.

Charlie swims 100 lengths for veterans charity Words and photo by Dave Barry AT LEAST £2 a length. That’s what keen swimmer Charlie Hayes raised on a sponsored swim for the FirstLight Trust. He swam 100 lengths in an hour and raised over £200 for the Scarborough armed-forces veterans charity. Lending moral support from the poolside were the charity’s support coordinator Sally Bowtell and fellow veterans Trevor Payne and John Sellers. Sally said: “Charlie completed his 100 lengths in 59 mins 32 seconds to help support the charity and to give back to the veterans”. The money Charlie raised will be used to fund veteran activities and therapy, Sally added. Charlie, 38, joined the Royal Logistic Corps in 1973. He completed his basic military training at Pirbright before attending trade training at Blackdown and passing out as a supply specialist. He served with the fifth regiment of the Royal Artillery, the Second Combat Support Battalion in Germany, the Army School of Mechanical Transport at Leconfield and in Iraq. He was awarded the Gulf general service

Weather permitting, work is due to begin on 5 March and last three weeks. It will cost £15,000.

NEWS IN BRIEF
THE SCARBOROUGH man accused of causing thousands of pounds of damage to Royal Albert Drive just after it had been resurfaced has appeared in court. Anthony Hopcraft, 24, of Maple Drive has appeared at the town’s magistrates court. He was charged with dangerous driving and causing criminal damage to the road during a Static Royals event on 15 October. Hopcraft was bailed until his trial at York crown court on 26 March.
SCARBOROUGH is to take part in a nationwide Quaker day of healing on Saturday 3 March, from 11am to 3pm. “Everywhere we look, we see sickness, tragedy, starvation, homelessness and conflict”, says spokesperson Angela Nellis. “Add the damage we do to the environment and it would be impossible to deny that the world needs healing”. The local Quaker day of healing will be at the Friends Meeting House in Quaker Close, near the hospital. “Stay for as long as you wish and feel free to come and go”, Angela adds. “Come and focus on a wide range of healing concerns including family and friends, our Quaker community, our society and its conflicts, the environment and all life on our fragile planet”. n Website: www.quaker-healing,org.uk.
Police chased suspected drug dealers through Peasholm Park, where one jumped into a duck pond. Detectives approached a man and a teenager who they believed were acting suspiciously at around 1.40pm on 17 February. The pair, from Merseyside, ran off through Dean Road cemetery, into the park and up the glen, pursued by the cops. Aged 20 and 17, they were arrested in connection with class-A drug offences and on suspicion of possessing a knife. Detective Constable Graeme Boast of Scarborough Police’s serious-crime team said: “Following a pursuit, the pair were detained with no injuries. However, one was rather wet. “The park was busy at the time, so I’d like to reassure members of the public who may have seen events unfold that this was an isolated incident. “Officers acted with the public’s safety in mind and to reduce any risk that was posed”. The suspects were released on bail while investigations continue. One of their bail conditions bans them from North Yorkshire, except to answer bail.
Man sent down for child sex offence A Scarborough man has been convicted of a child sex offence and publishing an obscene article. Lee Traquair-Hull, 34, of Seamer Road, was found guilty of causing or inciting a teenager to engage in sexual activity. He was jailed for 15 months at York crown court. Detectives opened an investigation in June 2016, following a report that Traquair-Hull had been texting a teenage girl with the intention of meeting her for sex. He was arrested, charged, pleaded guilty and bailed in January, before sentencing. Hull was issued with a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and placed on the sexoffenders register for 10 years. DC Jon Kenworthy, of the serious-crime team, said: “The sentence shows the seriousness of his offending. “Children should be able to enjoy their teenage years without fear of predatory advances from anyone intending to exploit
Lee Traquair-Hull them”, DC Kenworthy said. “Victims can be reassured that they will be treated sensitively and offenders dealt with robustly. “I thank the victim for her courage in coming forward and remaining strong throughout the investigation to seek justice”.
Dog walker spat at warden in ‘a particularly nasty case’ SPITTING at a dog warden while walking his dog on the beach has cost a Scarborough man £1,220. Graham Oliver, 54, of Peel Terrace, was found guilty of dog-related offences at the town’s magistrates court. He failed to attend the hearing and was sentenced in his absence. Oliver was fined £500 for exercising his dog on the south beach on 20 September, which is within the seasonal exclusion zone; and a further £500 for refusing to give his name and address when requested by a council dogenforcement officer.
He was ordered to pay costs of £120 and a £100 victim surcharge. Council spokesperson Harry Briggs said: “This was a particularly nasty case in which the dog owner spat at and verbally abused our dog-enforcement officer when she was trying to engage with him”. The council recently reviewed its seasonal dog restrictions, which now form part of a new public space protection order. The dog ban on certain beaches will resume from 1 May to 30 September. Full details will be clearly signposted and are available for viewing at scarborough.gov.uk.

Club marks 40 years Training firm helps homeless-youth charity of model railways
Members and former members at the old-boys reunion (to order photos ring 353597)
Words and photos by Dave Barry THIS year will see a milestone in the history of a model club. Scarborough & District Railway Modellers are celebrating the club’s 40th anniversary. The club is celebrating with various events, kicking off with an old-boys reunion at their clubrooms in February. The main event, however, will be a 40th anniversary show over the weekend of 7/8 April, at Scalby Parish Hall. It will feature at least a dozen model railway layouts built by members; demonstrations of model building by specialists who will offer advice to would-be modellers; and a layout that children will be able to run. Outside the hall, there will be a steam traction engine and a steam railway, offering rides.
Founder members, L-R, Ian Harper, Peter Cooper, John Veitch, Phil Williams and Pat Hammond
The club’s 10th annual show at the Memorial Hall in Pickering will be over the weekend of 18/19 August. The club was formed in 1978 by a group of likeminded modellers who wanted to promote railway modelling in the area. For the first five years, members met at their homes until the club acquired the rooms it still uses today. Over the years, members have built numerous layouts including models of the Scarborough, Gallows Close, Scalby, Malton, Pickering and Goathland stations. The club has 45 members - 38 men and seven women. Its website is at www.sdrmweb.co.uk.
A new initiative from a Scarborough training firm is helping a youth-homelessness charity. Sash places 16–25 year olds who have nowhere safe to stay with volunteers, nudging them towards independence. The charity tries to ensure that young people are in education, training or employment. One of the training providers chosen by young people being supported by Sash in Scarborough is YH Training Services. The company has committed to donating £37, which covers two nights of emergency accommodation, every time a young person referred by Sash or one of its supporters is enrolled on a learning programme. YH Training will donate a further £37 when they have been on a programme for six months. Sash project coordinator Dawn Stephenson said: “Our work with young people in North Yorkshire is aimed at helping them avoid the trap of long-term homelessness and unemployment. Developing their employability skills is a fundamental part of this. “Since May last year, six of our young people have attended the Prince’s Trust programme and excelled at the opportunities on offer, going on to secure apprenticeships or other employment with training. This sort of programme is crucial to the long-term
and internships.

YH Training chairman and managing director Frank McMahon said: “We’re a family-run business that cares about its learners and employers. They’re never just a number. This is a great opportunity for YH Training to give something back and support those less fortunate than ourselves”.

THE busy beavers of the Mayoress’s Community Fund raised just over £200 at a table-top sale in Filey. It was one of three or four sales staged by the MCF every year at the Evron Centre. The MCF team was led by the mayoress of the borough of Scarborough, Cherry Smith, who chairs the MCF committee. The MCF was established over half a century ago. The longest serving member is Sheila McWhan, who joined in 1971, when her husband Ken was a councillor. Bonnie Purchon and Jane Cockerill joined in 2007 when Janet Jefferson was mayor. Mrs Purchon recalls: “That was the year when towns like Hull and Sheffield were
flooded and we brought some of their residents to Scarborough and gave them a wonderful day out with the generosity of groups like South Bay Traders, Forum for Tourism and many others”. The money raised is distributed to deserving groups and individuals at the end of the mayoral year. The MCF does not donate to national charities, except when the local branch finances and manages itself. The next MCF event after the table-top sale in Filey was a flower arrangement demonstration with afternoon tea at the Columbus Hotel in Scarborough, on 1 March. An MCF application form can be found on the council website - www.scarborough.gov. uk/mayor.

Cayton’s new clerk From Brum to “never expected to St Paul’s to Scalby stay this long” Words and photo by Dave Barry
CAYTON Parish Council has appointed a new parish clerk, who started on 12 February. Lindsay Clay is from Altrincham in Cheshire and came to live in Scarborough in 2007. She says: “I honestly never expected to stay this long but the town has captured my heart! “I live with my husband Andrew, my four-yearold daughter Jennifer and our black Labrador Hugo. I also have two beautiful stepdaughters Mimi, 15, and Rosa, 12”. Lindsay’s professional background is in administration and human resources in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors. “Having worked for UPM Raflatac in Eastfield for just over 10 years, I felt it was time for a new challenge”, she says. “I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into parish life and getting to know everyone”. Lindsay is based at the Jubilee Hall on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9.30am and 3pm. Two events in Cayton will raise money to help finance the village’s gala and fun run. The Cayton in Bloom winter warmer will be at the Methodist chapel from 10.30am to 1pm on Monday 12 March.
Cayton’s new parish clerk, Lindsay Clay, with borough councillors Roberta Swiers and Simon Green (to order photos ring 353597) It will feature soup and a roll for £3 and a raffle and cake stall. A pie-and-pea supper and quiz will be staged at the Cayton Playing Fields Association clubhouse at 7pm on 20 April. It will cost £5. The events are being organised by a new committee, formed to plan the fun run on 13 July, from 6pm, and the gala on 15 July, from 11am-4pm. Anyone interested in getting involved and assisting on gala day or acting as a steward for the fun run would be welcome; ring Simon Green on 581236 or Roberta Swiers on 584386.
BORN in Birmingham, ordained at St Paul’s Cathedral and now living in Scalby vicarage. That’s the path which Rev Lynn Hellmuth’s life has charted. Despite never previously living here, Lynn has always felt an affinity with Scarborough. Her father Donald lived opposite St Luke’s, one of four churches in the vicar’s new benefice - along with St Laurence’s in Scalby, St Peter’s in Hackness and St Hilda’s in Ravenscar. Donald, who died two years ago, was a pupil and then, in the late 1950s, a teacher at the High School for Boys in Westwood - and later, at what is now Graham School. He was promoted to become head of a school in Birmingham, where Lynn was born. But the links with Scarborough were never severed. “We holidayed here as a family twice a year, staying at a B&B in Burniston”, Lynn recalls. “Most of our meals were in the Rosette pub and we used to go down to Scalby Mills to play on the amusements, before the Sea Life Centre was built. “We did the tree walk and the naval battles at Peasholm, all those things, so this area was very well known to us as a family”.
In 2002, Lynn was ordained at St Paul’s because that was the parish she was working in at the time. She served at various churches in London before noticing an intriguing advert for her current post in the sits-vac page of the Church Times last spring. “I had a sense that I wanted to come home to my roots in Yorkshire and it was an extraordinary coincidence that I ended up in the same parish that my father lived in. “Many members of my congregation remember him”, she says. “Two went to school with him and some were taught by him”. Lynn, who is single, with no children (just a golden labrador puppy called Flora), says her mission statement is “to work together with my four parishes to share God’s love with everyone”. Lynn is pictured at her installation at St Laurence’s Church with area dean Mike Leigh, lay dean Ros Brewer and the bishop of Hull, Rt Rev Alison White. The service was attended by church wardens Sally McIntyre, Carol Webster, Ian Popely, Cathy Arnott and Sheila Coulson; council leader Cllr Derek Bastiman; and the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith.

Care provider supports action day for dignity Pleas from the Sweet Peas
L-R, Ros Brewer, Rt Rev Alison White, Rev Lynn Hellmuth and Rev Mike Leigh (to order photos ring 353597)
A CARE provider used Dignity Action Day to call for greater dignity and respect throughout society. Mike Padgham runs Saint Cecilia’s Care Services, a Scarborough-based social care provider, which is signed up as a dignity champion. He says the need for respect and dignity goes far deeper than caring for older and vulnerable adults. “As a provider of adult social care, we wholeheartedly support Dignity Action Day and its call for adults to enjoy the dignity and quality of life they have a right to expect,” he said. “But at the same time, Dignity Action Day for me is a time when we should all look at how we treat each other – old or young”. He said many people could learn lessons on dignity. “How often do we not treat one another with the respect and dignity we deserve, whether it’s adults speaking to other adults, adults speaking to children and young people or vice versa?
“Dignity and respect are two things that, as a society, we should all be treating more seriously. If we get dignity engrained within our society, then it will extend to older people in their later lives, just as it should do to everyone else”. Dignity champions sign up to a 10-point challenge: To have zero tolerance of all forms of abuse; to support people with the same respect you would want for yourself or a member of your family; to treat each person as an individual by offering a personalised service; to enable people to maintain the maximum possible level of independence, choice and control; to listen and support people to express their needs and wants; to respect people’s right to privacy; to ensure people feel able to complain without fear of retribution; to engage with family members and carers as care partners; to assist people to maintain confidence and positive self-esteem; and to act to alleviate people’s loneliness and isolation. Dignity Action Day was on 1 February.
PHOTO donations are needed for the next edition of a calendar which keeps Scalby’s public toilets open. The lavatories are maintained by a small group of dedicated volunteers. For the last 10 years, the bulk of the money needed to keep the loos in an acceptable state has been met by the annual production and sale of the Sweet Pea calendars. They are well received by local people and those who have moved away from the area. They now travel to many countries as gifts,
rekindling happy memories. However, more pictures of the local area are needed to make an interesting 2019 edition; ideas and pictures would be welcome. The Sweet Pea group is grateful to everyone who has donated cash or bought and sold the 2018 calendar. This will enable the toilets to be kept open in good repair for another year. Anyone who would like to help in any way should ring Mavis Wild on 369620 or email mavis.wild@btinternet.com.
Boy attacked in broad daylight A 17-year-old boy sustained a cut to the back of his neck in an assault in broad daylight, in Scarborough. It happened in Stepney Road at around 11am on 19 February. The victim, who needed hospital treatment, described his assailant as a white male,
around 5ft, aged 17-18 and wearing a black coat and blue jeans. The police are appealing for witnesses. Ring 101, select option 2 and ask for Matthew Forsyth or email Matthew.Forsyth1997@ northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk. Quote reference number 12180029281.

Silent auction raises Pindar will rock you £1,523 for art show Words and photo by Dave Barry Students at Scarborough TEC’s school of arts staged a silent auction to raise funds for their end-of-year degree show. The 85 lots included a diverse range of work by local artists and students. The auction and a raffle raised £1,523.75. It was organised by people taking BA honours courses in fine art and historical and performance costume. They were led by Erin Gibbs, who said their final show in June, to be entitled Page One, would showcase the last exhibition project of all third-year art students at the Tec. The auction was held in the Tec’s Nineteen09 restaurant during a free mid-year exhibition of work by 17 art and design diploma students, foundation art and design students, degree students and tutors. The exhibition was in the art studios on the second floor. Student Mick Murphy added: “I submitted some of the work I created as part of the Forest Eyes project commissioned by Crescent Arts Workshop, a local organisation whose management committee I am on”. * The Tec has applied for planning permission to construct a single-storey engineering and construction (E&C) building at its new Filey Road campus. The Tet has transferred most of its departments from its former campuses at
Lady Edith's Drive and Westwood; the main exception being the cumbersome E&C, which is still at Lady Edith's Drive. The design incorporates specialist vocational spaces for Engineering & Construction provision with additional facilities for flexible learning, encompassing practical and theory within designed spaces. The new building will be used by students and staff undertaking and teaching a variety of vocational courses within the E&C industries. It will include electrical engineering, fabrication, welding, plumbing, brickwork, joinery and motor-vehicle workshops. * Tec cookery student Connor Gray, 19, recently came second in the Teflon Diamond Standard awards for aspiring student chefs.

No Way! It educated students about the consequences of crime through discussion and role play. Year 10 learnt about risky behaviours and how to avoid them, while Year 11 looked at mental-health issues and strategies for coping.

Pindar School’s production of We Will Rock You can be seen on Wednesday 7, Thursday 8 and Friday 9 March at 6pm. “With new lighting and colourful costumes, this is going to be a fabulous feel-good show featuring the inimitable music of Queen”, says Claire Matson of the school, in Eastfield. “The cast have worked extremely hard”. The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden and rock music is all but unknown. The show is open to the public but has nearly sold out.
Anti-frackers are teaming up with litterpickers to highlight the problem of plastic waste and its link with local fracking plans. Frack Free Scarborough (FFS) is marking Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean weekend with a march and litter pick. On 4 March, a short rally outside Brunswich Centre, starting at 11.15am, will be followed by a march to the south beach to pick litter. A pictorial message will be raked in the sand near Aquarium Top. The litter-pick is being organised by Surfers Against Sewage and the local Green Party. Unless urgent action is taken, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by 2050, according to the new plastics economy plan, announced at the world economic forum in Davos last year. The plastic, in myriad forms, kills a wide range of marine life and enters the food chain via marine organisms. Some experts question whether the oceans can survive the
amount of plastic within them. An FFS spokesperson said: “Ineos’s plans to drill under the North York Moors national park, largely to power and provide raw materials for plastics production, are disrespectful of the local and global environment. “This event is Scarborough’s first opportunity to say no to Ineos, while highlighting the broader problem of plastic pollution, getting some fresh and air and exercise and enhancing our local environment”. Green Party councillor Mark Vesey added; “Fracking is fought everywhere it is planned. Overwhelming evidence in America and Australia shows it can pollute water courses and give off toxic emissions that pollute the air we breathe. “Ineos are using fracked gas not to heat homes but to produce plastics that add to the desperate state of our seas. Exploitation of the planet for the benefit of a few shareholders and executives has to stop”.
Great great grandmother Jean isn’t going daft after all CONFIRMATION has reached the Review that a great great grandmother isn’t going daft and that a life-size mechanical elephant did visit Scarborough in 1951. In our last issue, Jean Bradley of Clark Street expressed surprise that none of her friends could remember the robotic pachyderm. “I thought, Am I going daft? Why don’t people remember it?!” Will Kitchener of Moor Lane in Newby had a similar response from his friends. “When I mentioned it, I just got blank stares, people tapping their heads and asking What’s he on about?” Will’s parents took him to see it. “It used to parade in front of the open-air theatre. I’d only have been three at the time. It seemed absolutely huge, trundling along”, says Will, who can’t recall for certain if he had a ride on the elephant. But Sylvia Norman of Newby did. “My mum took my younger brother Maurice
and myself to see it at Northstead Manor Gardens near the open-air theatre. “We were children and she took us for a ride”, says Sylvia, who was born and bred in Seamer. In the last Review, Jean recalled: “It was sixpence a go, which was my pocket money for a week for helping out at our boarding house in Manor Road. We used to take in visitors”. Jean said the elephant was touring England and was only in town for a week or two. Built by a South African called Frank Stuart, the contraption was powered by an 8 horsepower Ford side-valve engine, which was used in Ford Anglia cars. “He claimed a top speed of 28mph but I doubt that, it was only going slow”, Jean recalls. “You climbed up some double ladders with a platform at the top to get onto it”.

•THE MARKET VAULTS SPECIAL FEATURE•
WHAT LIES BENEATH…
THE HISTORY In 1852, royal assent was given to the Scarborough Public Market Act. This allowed plans to be drawn up to build the Market Hall and Vaults in St Helen’s Square. The Market Hall was built in 1853 and is one of the town’s finest buildings. The basement was used as an ice house and a bonded warehouse. Records show that in the late 1800s, Henry
Welburn & Co used it. Welburn was a wine and spirit merchant who also traded in groceries, provisions and “Italian goods of first-rate quality”. During the world wars, the basement was used as an air-raid shelter. In 1993 the basement was converted into retail units and renamed the Market Vaults. The business which has been there the longest is Luckenbooth, which opened in 1993.
Words and photo by Dave Barry THE MARKET Vaults are among Scarborough’s best hidden gems. ‘Hidden’ because this atmospheric labyrinth is tucked away under the Market Hall. The Vaults are a treasure trove, a cornucopia of interesting small shops. Countless locals who have lived in the town all their lives have said they never realised it was there. And when they find out, they keep going back. There is a fascinating mix of independent businesses and visitors can easily while away a few hours, browsing in the 20+ retail units which occupy the basement of the building. The Vaults contains an unusual assortment of traders, craftsmen and specialist shops that could not be found on the high street. Once upon a time, the place was notoriously cold in winter, when Arctic gales seemed to blow straight through, freezing everything in their path. But, at the end of last summer, secondary doors were added to two of the three entrances, which are on Leading Post Street and Market Way. The work was part of the ambitious £2.7m modernisation programme which
transformed the Market Hall. Free wifi is available for traders and customers, on an open network. * The vast majority of the retail units are occupied but a few are available. Anyone interested in a unit should ring Margaret Elwick on 232322 or email margaret.elwick@scarborough.gov.uk.

Scarborough Tales
BY JOE COATES
LORENZO MITCHELL-HENRY, GREATEST OF THEM ALL In the 1930s, Scarborough became the centre of the world for the big game fishing community. No.1 Sandgate became the headquarters of the British Tunny Fishing Club, and the world’s film stars, aristocrats and socialites flocked to Scarborough to catch the huge Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna, which followed the herring shoals up the east coast. The building, the Tunny Club, now serves great British fish and chips [I go quite regularly] and is full of information about this glamorous time for Scarborough.
Jack Hedley Lewis and Tom Pashby, 1949 Local lobster and longline fisherman, Bill Pashby, looked across the harbour. It was an amazing sight, full of the super -yachts of the wealthy, wanting to catch a big Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. Crowds gathered to see these celebrities and the fish they caught. Bill, locally known as Will, had a boat,”Courage”, and was often used. His local sea knowledge made him a sort-after guide for fishing. He enjoyed his time with the rich and famous tuna fishermen, while his own lobster pots were filling up out at sea. There would be three men in a cobble boat, which was not much bigger than the fish they were trying to catch. “Now, who’s here today, There’s John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Robert Donat, David Niven, all very famous actors. There’s Baron Rothschild, the banker, and Scarborough’s own Charles Laughton. I can’t imagine how
Scarborough Tales book written by Mark Ross, published 2010
many reporters from the London magazines are here. Can’t see Lorenzo though! Maybe having a lie-in! Oh no, here he comes, waving at the crowds. He certainly likes it here!” Enter Lorenzo Mitchell-Henry! He was a great big game fisherman. The crowds loved him, though he was unpopular with his fishing rivals, boastful and often critical of them in the fishing publications and the gossip magazines. Lorenzo was born in London into a very wealthy family. Apparently they called him Lorenzo at birth because they had recently enjoyed a tour to Italy. He was a god-son of Queen Victoria, making several Court appointments. Educated at Eton, then Heidelberg, he became an inventor of improved hunting and fishing equipment. After a spell of lion hunting in Africa, Lorenzo lived a life of fun and luxury in a castle in Ireland, fishing along the west coast. Then he heard of Scarborough and he couldn’t keep away. “Morning Will Pashby, and your son, Young Bill!” chuckled Lorenzo. “Please take me out today. I feel good. There’s a big, big, big tuna out there just waiting for me!” Lorenzo had invented much improved equipment for big game fishing, and he was good. One day he would set that British record, but not this day. In time, Lorenzo’s unpopularity with some other celebrity fishermen caused him to fall
The Tunny Club today
Three men in a boat, Tunny fishing out with the Tunny Club, so he began fishing from Whitby. Then, in 1933,with a rod and line, he pulled in a tuna at a whopping weight of 851 pounds. That’s nearly a tonne, 10 feet long [about 3 metres]. It was a British record. No-one could beat that. Lorenzo MitchellHenry was king of the tuna fishing world, very satisfied with his achievement! Though we can imagine, maybe, how boastful he might have been, he certainly was the greatest of them all! 16 years passed. The celebrity Tunny fishing heydays of the 1930s at Scarborough had passed. Then the completely unexpected happened. Lorenzo couldn’t believe it. In 1949, a Lincolnshire farmer, Jack Hedley Lewis, went out from Scarborough in Tom Pashby’s boat and caught, with rod and line, an Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna, weighing 852 pounds, breaking Lorenzo’s record by one pound. One pound! Weight of a bag of flour! Lorenzo was inconsolable. He was the best! This farmer had probably used super easy equipment. It wouldn’t have been the struggle it had been for Lorenzo all those years ago. Then, when he saw the photo in a fishing magazine, he had a brain wave. “Look, the rope is still on the fish! Too much wet heavy rope! 852 pounds wasn’t the tuna’s weight! The weight of the rope and the sea water in the rope made the weight inaccurate. The fish can’t have been heavier than mine! I should still have the record.” His complaint was accepted, and the record returned to him! Joy indeed for Lorenzo Mitchell-Henry the greatest of them all! As the herring declined, the huge tuna fish went elsewhere, and those particular
Lorenzo and boatman by his enormous catch
glamorous days at Scarborough are long gone. My friend Richard William Pashby, former skipper of the trawler “Prospector”, remembers his father, Young Bill as skipper of the trawler “Valiant”, Tom was his great uncle, and the Bill Pashby, Will, mentioned in this tale was his grandfather, the whole family very much part of the Tunny fishing history of Scarborough. © joe coates 2018 www.northbaytales.com PS. I understand the huge tuna caught in those days were turned into dog food. These were the days before tuna reached our plates. One of these huge fish would be worth about £100,000 nowadays, if my maths is right.
Girl guides win movement’s highest award THREE girl guides from Scarborough have won the movement’s highest award. Laura Hancock, Jess Connell and Natasha Atkinson of 2nd Scarborough (Westborough) Guides have been presented with BadenPowell challenge awards. Nationally, only a small proportion of guides achieve this award. They had to complete 10 challenges covering
five sections: healthy lifestyles, global awareness, discovery, skills & relationships and diversity. The girls celebrated a festival from another culture and ran a cooking competition, a team games evening for the unit, a pool fun evening for Sport Relief, an international evening, a party for Rainbows (5-7 year olds) and a disability awareness activity.
Just before they finished their challenges, they attended a BP adventure weekend to celebrate their achievements, meet other girls, try something new and have fun. Group leader Fiona Kemp said: “We are all incredibly proud of Laura, Jess and Natasha for gaining their Baden-Powell challenge awards and congratulate them for the hard work they have put into completing it”.

Victor’s Vinyl & Vintage stocks three times as much vinyl as it did when it opened, two and a half years ago. The shop, in Falsgrave, Scarborough, has earned a reputation for an eclectic range of vinyl rarities and old favourites. These days, vinyl records are being recognised as the best way to get the full music experience as well as those fantastic 12in LP covers that’s 30cm in today’s money. Not only music is turning to the past, but fashion, home décor, kitchen appliances and even car design is too. Victor’s Vinyl & Vintage has all this covered, in an attempt to get the personal touch and social connection back into buying life’s
little goodies, as opposed to online shopping. “We provide a cheaper and much more reliable service than online options”, says shop owner Alan Parry, aka Victor Swanvesta. A DJ of 78s, Alan has a good supply of shellac for sale as well as those cheeky little 45s. “The vinyl stock has grown by about 300%, thanks mainly to local folk selling their old vinyl which, for whatever reason, is in need of a new home”, he says. The vintage side of things falls under Victor’s partner’s jurisdiction and includes clothing, jewellery, radios, curios and vintage magazines. But his main passion has always been music so now he is mixing the two.

Words and photos by Dave Barry A town-centre optometrist has doubled its floorspace in one fell swoop. Pagan & McQuade in Scarborough staged an open day to mark their expansion into the floor above. The first-floor room had previously been used by two men’s hair salons: John Paul’s and Eric’s. The company, now in its 30th year, widened the staircase and fitted a chairlift to ensure access for all. The large team of friendly staff served cocktails and canapés to everyone at the open day. “It’s been hectic”, said business founder Gary McQuade. “We’ve grown our showroom space by 100%”. For the open day, the store displayed almost the entire ranges of glasses from Cocoa Mint, Basebox, Rock Star, Zips, Louis Marcel and Jensen. Among the professionals taking part were a brand expert and a Hoya lens specialist. Visitors were entertained by singer and guitarist Mally Jackson. The main photo shows Mr McQuade with his wife Cate, who is the company administrator; Adele Rose, assistant manager and student dispensing optician; practice manager Sam Noble; and ocular hygienist Marie Chandler.

Sowing the seeds of fundraising success A charity is reaping the rewards of a partnership with a family-run business. Dean’s Garden Centres in Scarborough and near York raised £26,000 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA). The seeds of success were sown when staff chose YAA as its charity of the year for 2017. Fundraising events included festive days, bake sales, tombolas, secondhand book stalls, Yellow Yorkshire Day and YAA merchandise sales. The company’s charity coordinator, Laura Dean, said: “Dean’s is proud of its roots in the community and we think it’s important to support local charities. “Every year since 2002, staff nominate a charity of the year and we have so far raised over £265,000 for a range of good causes. It is very popular with customers and staff and something we are proud of. “We worked closely with YAA and there was a lot of support for a charity that anyone could need at any time”. Dean’s staff visited the charity’s unit at Nostell to hand over a cheque and meet helicopter paramedics and crew. YAA fundraiser David Hebden said: “We cannot thank Dean's enough for their hard work and tremendous effort. It's an outstanding donation that we are truly grateful for”.

…and I’ve realised that I am my mother reincarnate.
By Krystal Starkey IT’S LATE evening when mum and I hear a commotion outside. I run into the kitchen without turning the light on, to see what’s happening. Naturally, mum is already there, in the pitch black - peering out nosily. We rest our chins in our hands on the worktop to maintain a low profile while trading our best theories on what we imagine could be going on down the road. This is one of the many traits I seem to have inherited from my mum. We’re not nosy, just inquisitive. While I’m proud to declare that I have a gritty hard working disposition - I’m also a martyr. If i’m working hard, god forbid anyone else isn't. Mum frequently grumbles about being the only one in the house who empties the dishwasher, I, too, believe I am the only person in the house to empty the dishwasher - which is interesting because
apparently my brother is sick of doing it too. Like supernovas, our moods burn bright but never last very long. We’re terrible sulkers, and often struggle to stretch it out to a full day. This one’s good, because when I’m in the wrong, I can rest assured that though mum’s wrath is fierce, it’s also very short lived. Mum’s brave and strong. I’ve watched her undergo surgery, change careers and take no rubbish from anyone in the last few years, not even the window cleaner when he tried to over charge her (silly guy - bet he lived to regret that). She’s immaculate and energetic, there’s rarely a hair out of place or a minute wasted, I’m eagerly waiting to grow into this trait - this will be my peak. I’ve also been blessed with the space to grow, be myself and make my own mistakes, mum doesn’t preach, or second guess my decisions - she lets me get on with it and backs me 100%. I recently started seeing mum as a person as well as a parent. I can confess that I’ve had many ‘isthis-really-happening’ moments. Picking her up from a house party at 1am, which she adamantly refused to leave, was not something I thought I would ever get to see. Whilst sitting on the sofa doing my best impression of a wall flower, she hip thrusts across the room shouting: “come on Krissy dance with me - I’m putting Abba on”
this would have once comfortably fitted into the category of things that will never happen in your life because mum is serious, all-knowing and wise. Her lovely mate comes along and confesses: “I hope my kids look at me the way you look at your mum one day”. Which is endearing but also slightly off the mark, because I was actually just wondering if I could throw a blanket over her and carry her out of the door without anyone noticing. Probably not then. There’s been many nights when I’ve embarrassed my friends with graphic dance moves and a loose tongue, never had I thought for one second, that this trait had actually come from darling mum. Embarrassing anecdotes aside, the best thing about my mum and I, is that while we can’t dance gracefully, we can deffo handle the hard times. Things haven’t been great for us lately, but she’s been a matriarch to be reckoned with. For that, this Mother’s Day, she get’s all of my awe, love and respect.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mums, who are also very normal people, doing fabulously embarrassing things and not regretting them, you’re the best!

BLOOMING GREAT NEWS FOR FILEY FILEY IN BLOOM volunteers have been nominated to represent Yorkshire in this year’s National Britain in Bloom Competition. Following their Gold Medal winning performance in the regional heats of Yorkshire in Bloom last summer, the group are now setting their sights higher as they compete, once again, on the national stage. In 2016 Filey were awarded a Gold Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society judges and Chairman of Filey in Bloom, Marion Wright, is hoping that the town can keep up this excellent standard. "We are very excited and proud to be representing Yorkshire in the Small Coastal category of Britain in Bloom", she said, "but we know how much hard work lies ahead of us. However, our wonderful volunteers will pull out all the stops over the next few months and with the help of all the community groups in the town, and all the partner organisations
we work with, I'm sure we will do Filey proud, once again, when the results are announced in autumn". Filey in Bloom are currently working on organising working parties, social events and fund raising activities for the coming year and would be delighted to hear from anyone who is able to help in any way. "You don't have to be an expert gardener to help out”, Mrs Wright explained. "Just a willingness to get involved in whatever way you can would help us greatly. Our ultimate aim is to keep Filey on the national bloom "map" by making sure our beautiful town is at its best throughout the summer but especially when the Royal Horticultural Society Judges visit us in early August." For more details of Filey in Bloom events and activities call Media Correspondent John Casey on 07962 169945

1.
Bring the milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the butter. Leave to cool until it reaches hand temperature.

Gently heat the apricot jam to melt, then sieve to get rid of any chunks. While the jam is still warm, brush over the top of the warm buns and leave to cool.

then gently fold in the flour mixture. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the cake batter. Divide between the cake tins, smooth the top then bake for 25-30 mins. allow to cool for 20 mins in the tins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For the salted caramel sauce and crunchy topping; (have a baking tray lined with baking parchment ready) put the sugar, liquid glucose and 2tbsp of water in a medium heavy based saucepan over a low heat to melt. Do no stir the mixture, tilt the pan to help combine and if required use a wet pastry brush to help push down any undissolved sugar into the mixture. Meanwhile put the cream in a separate small saucepan and set over a low heat until warm. Turn up the heat to medium high and bubble the mixture until it’s golden caramel coloured (3-4 mins). Take off the heat then add 3 ½tbsp of the cream, once it stops bubbling add the butter and mix until smooth. Carefully ladle a third of this mixture into the pan with the cream. Add the cornflakes to the caramel mixture in the larger pan and fold with a spatula until evenly coated, spoon into 6 large or 12 small rounds and set of the baking tray to set and cool (around 20 mins). Spray with the gold shimmer spray. Put the pan with the salted caramel sauce back on the heat, add the salt and mix until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool. For the buttercream; pour 2tbsp of boiling water over the Dark Chocolate, out in the microwave for a few seconds then mix until smooth, leave to cool. Beat the butter and salt in a mixing bowl until soft, add the icing sugar and cocoa powder then beat until smooth. Mix in the melted chocolate then gently mix in the cream cheese. To assemble; put one of the sponges on a serving plate, using a palette knife spread a layer of the buttercream over the top then set the other sponge on top. Spread the rest of the buttercream on top and on the sides of the cake in an even layer. Set the cornflake rounds on top of the cake around the edges then pour the salted caramel sauce into the middle and between the cornflake rounds.

PISCES
SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOV-21ST DEC L to R:Chelsea Clinton, Emily Blunt, John Boyega & Steve Jobs
Quite a bright and productive month where jobs and finances are concerned with some very important choices being considered around the 11th, leading to a subtle change of career direction during the last week. It is only a subtle shift, but it would seem that some of your targets and ambitions are going through a gradual process of change, and instead of aiming for the moon, you’ll start aiming for the stars.
STRIPE BALLOON SLEEVE DRESS £15 from MATALAN
Nowhere is this more appropriate than in affairs of the heart, as you become aware of alternative pathways to those which you saw for yourself only a short while ago. If there is some criticism from certain quarters, I think you should ignore it, and put it down to either petty mindedness or plain old fashioned envy.
This could be a delightful month for anyone who is prepared to put their heart before their head and respond to offers, opportunities and (even improper) suggestions. Anything that can re-focus your thoughts away from some of your established routines will serve you well, and it could be a good time to turn your back on some unpleasant past memories.
CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 19TH JAN ARIES 21ST MAR - 19TH APR On a professional level you seem to be very much in control and on top of the job. On a personal level, however, you may come in for some teasing and gentle criticism. Don’t take the huff or get up tight. It’s obvious that someone is trying to help you, and you could do worse than to listen to what is being suggested at this moment in time.
TAURUS 20TH APR - 20TH MAY A lightening of mood with the lengthening of the days! Some commitment being made in connection with exercise and health regimes. A gentle boost to your social life, especially around the 15th to the 19th when one particular event will demand some celebration. Day to day finances are fine, but you’ll be concerned about long term nest eggs.
GEMINI 21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE Lovers and partners could annoy you slightly with their fickleness, but before complaining too much, take one step backwards
and remind yourself upon which side your bread is buttered. Domestic harmony is not helped by the interference of an older female, and the behaviour of a younger male could be the cause of some concern. Create some space!
CANCER 21ST JUN - 22ND JUL You’ll be spending money to fill a need or fulfil an ambition. You have enough – but only just enough to do this, and there are those who will be concerned that you appear to be putting all your eggs in the same basket. In some ways, you are accepting a risk and are willing to gamble, and although it will pay off in the end, there’ll be tense moments in between.
LEO 23RD JUL - 22ND AUG An emotionally up and down month, but the lows are not very low while the highs really are quite high. You will not always know what a lover or partner is thinking, which could well lead to feelings of insecurity, but there is still a vibrancy of excitement in the air. You’ll throw caution to the winds, which is exactly what you need to do. Carpe Deum, and all that!
VIRGO 23RD AUG - 22ND SEPT Some dealings with beurocracy and red tape, especially in the early days of the month. This affects males more than females. Financial outlook improving from the 11th onwards, and career girls do especially well. Social events make life interesting around the 23rd, and new friends will turn out to be powerful future allies.
LIBRA 23RD SEP - 22ND OCT Single Libran ladies are spoiled for choice when it comes to potential suitors, but be warned… You can have Tom, Dick or Harry, but not Tom AND Dick AND Harry! A nice time for all other Librans who are prepared to prioritise affairs of the heart, apart from older blokes who can enjoy Autumn, but will look like fools if they chase after Spring.
SCORPIO 23RD OCT - 21ST NOV This month the Libran energy crosses into Scorpio, and yet it must be said that in all things romantic and sexual, you are in charge! Nevertheless, you could have some egg on your
Buying someone a special (and appropriate) present will be problematical. It needn’t be and it shouldn’t be, but it WILL be! Legal aspects may need some attention mid-month, but there is nothing threatening here. Work routines become a bit more intense as the month wears on, and a hint of potential changes at work will not go down well.
AQUARIUS 20TH JAN - 18TH FEB A mixed bag of a month. Other peoples’ problems cause frustration at various times, and as usual, you’ll be the one charged with clearing up the mess. Some domestic upheaval is likely around the third week, especially if there are uninvited guests. A brighter vibe during the last few days, when there could be news of a pregnancy or birth.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
BRIDLINGTON AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology SIR George Ripley was one of the most important of the English alchemists. Very little is known about him, but it is thought that he became a canon Sir George Ripley at the Priory of St Augustine in Bridlington during the 15th century. His scientific work greatly influenced eminent scholars of the time, such as Queen Elizabeth’s personal alchemist John Dee, Robert Boyle, who was considered the first modern chemist, and physicist Issac Newton. Sir George Ripley was born in Yorkshire. He was obsessed with the study of alchemy and travelled frequently to Italy in search of the philosopher’s stone. After years of searching, he claimed to have found the stone and returned to Bridlington. Writing to a friend he wrote: “I have found what I have been looking for and I am now a happy man”. He is reputedly buried, with the stone, in the grounds of the Augustine Priory which was on the site of what is now the Priory Church of St Mary, commonly known as Bridlington Priory Church. The philosopher’s stone is a legendary item of alchemy used to turn base metal into gold. The stone is also called ‘the elixir of life’ and was used to revitalise the human spirit, to invoke rejuvenation and to prolong life indefinitely. The philosopher's stone was the symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolising perfection in science and perfection in the

HI EVERYBODY. You may recall my piece in the December issue of the Review introducing readers to the rebranded name for the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) I said at the time that our website was undergoing reconstruction and whilst it’s a ‘work in progress’ its up and running and will be updated with news and events on a regular basis, it can be viewed at; www.iamroadsmartscarborough.co.uk so please have a look. You may have already seen our advert in this edition of The Review, for the two Free Assessment sessions that we have planned on April 17th and June 19th. Both will start at 7pm and run till dusk at ‘The Street’ William St Coach Park YO12 7PW Scarborough. These sessions are exactly what it says on the tin ‘Free Assessment Runs’. You turn up with your car or or motorcycle and one of our team of observers will, in the case of cars accompany you whilst you drive, or in the case of motorcycles the observer will follow on his/her own machine. The object is to provide you with a written report of your driving/riding skills and where necessary advise of any areas where improvements could be made. In our experience over time all kinds of bad habits creep into our driving, some are just bad habits but occasionally several bad habits can combine to become potentially dangerous. Its better that we point them out before they catch you out! Obviously we would like you to join one of our Advanced Driving Courses and get the full benefits that Advanced Driving brings. Sometimes, once people have met us and seen first hand what we do they do join a course; however you will be under no pressure whatsoever to do so.
Italy and Bridlington. Flamel’s house, where he manufactured the philosopher’s stone, is still standing in Paris at 51 Rue de Montmorency. He now has a street named after him near the Louvre. There is also a street called Ripley Close in Bridlington. What happened to Sir George Ripley when he returned to Bridlington with the philosopher’s stone is a mystery. His texts are kept in the London Museum and Science Museum. Those looking for the formula to create
human condition. The history of the philosopher’s stone goes back to Adam who, it is said, acquired the knowledge of the stone directly from God. The stone, or the formula used to make it, has always been a well-kept secret and has been passed down throughout history written down in sacred texts. In the 14th century, French alchemist Nicolas Flamel claimed to have come across it in sacred text which he spent 20 years deciphering in order to create the stone and achieve immortality. His notes were precise: “On 25 April 1382, at about five o’clock in the evening, I transmuted metal into almost pure gold. It’s better than common gold. It’s more
Should you not be able to attend either of these sessions but would like to have an assessment please see the contact details on the advert. Please remember we are a not for profit road safety charity, all our Observers and organisers are volunteers. We look forward to seeing you in April or June. Phil Brown. Vice Chair.

Fuel rip-off
DEAR EDITOR, I’ve just been to York, doing some shopping, and I filled up at Sainsbury’s with fuel. Their fuel in York is 10p a litre cheaper than the Scarborough branch. Why are we being ripped off in Scarborough? I mean two or three pence you don’t mind, but 10 pence a litre. That means if somebody puts 10 gallons in, it costs £4.50 more in Scarborough. Dennis Spurgeon - Newby, Scarborough
‘Review helps put town on map’
DEAR EDITOR, Please accept my thanks to you and the team for another excellent edition of the Scarborough Review (February 2018). As well as featuring a variety of news pieces, it was wonderful to see so much coverage of local events, such as the Scarborough Food & Gift Fair, which returned to the town in early February. It is wonderful to see how a local publication such as the Scarborough Review supports these ventures, which helps put Scarborough on the map. Many thanks and I look forward to reading the next edition! Faith Young, Tindall Street, Scarborough
Sir George Ripley’s book soft and pliable”. Flamel’s reputation as an alchemist grew posthumously, when French writers like Victor Hugo and Erik Satie were so intrigued that they included him in their literature as a background character. His reputation increased again in modern times through the books of Dan Brown and the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. Historians state that, though Flamel is probably now the most famous alchemist in history, he did very little to warrant this in his lifetime, and that the accounts of his life are most probably closer to the accounts of the life of Sir George Ripley and his adventures in
Long live the power of the free press!
DEAR EDITOR This is to thank you for publishing the article about my fall and the help I received from lovely Scarborough people. It had the desired effect in that Maggie and her husband Leslie, and Debbie, another rescuer, all came into my shop, the Bookshelf on Victoria Road, having read the paper. I was able to reassure them of my continual progress and give them my (very inadequate) thanks. So long live the power of the free press! Leslie Stones, Victoria Road, Scarborough
Thank you for article
DEAR EDITOR Many thanks for your kind article in February’s edition of the Scarborough Review detailing the free talk entitled Happiness from Within on 5 February at the Friends Meeting House. On a cold February evening it was wonderful to have 24 people in attendance listening to how, through meditation, we can access a very deep and calming happiness from within. The group got to try meditation for themselves and to enjoy their own experience of inner peace. Meditation classes are now running on a Monday evening from 7-8.30pm at the same venue and everybody is always welcome to attend. Classes cost £6 per session or four for £20. There is no need to book, just turn up when you are free. Further information can be found at www. madhyamaka.org / meditation-in-scarborough Thank you once again for really helping us to spread inner peace in Scarborough! Kind regards Geoff Collier - Kadampa Buddhist teacher
Nicolas Flamel in Paris the philosopher’s stone try to decipher the symbols on his scrolls.

Oral hearing took Futurist campaigners by surprise
DEAR EDITOR With reference to the article, ‘2017 - how Scarborough Council saw it’, by Cllr Derek Bastiman in your February issue. Paragraph 4 concerns costs awarded to the council at an oral hearing on 16 June in the High Court, Leeds. The oral hearing was totally unexpected. The Save the Futurist campaign had been informed that our case for whether there were grounds for a judicial review or not would be decided by the judge, alone in chambers. Neither the solicitor nor the barrister, both with many years experience in law, had encountered an oral hearing. Once it was known that there was to be an oral hearing, with unanticipated expenses, the solicitors tried, unsuccessfully, to get after-the-event insurance. As Save the Futurist, over the years, had two petitions signed by 10,000+ and 33,000+ at two public meetings with video streaming to 20,000 within two days of the second one, together with a Facebook following of thousands, it was hoped that supporters would rally round, although the campaign had been defeated. A written financial appeal to over 200 supporters had only seven replies. The legal expenses of £8,500 are the priority. This target can be met if 1,700 supporters donate £5 each. Donations can be made to the following: Save the Futurist official site on Facebook; a cheque made out to Squire Patton Boggs sent c/o myself at the address below; cheque or cash to IQ Accountants at 1 Seamer Road Corner, Scarborough, YO12 5BB. Please respond if you haven’t already. Thank you. Diana Tasker, pp Save the Futurist, Weaponness Valley Close,Scarborough

Curious Roots
BY HEATHER ELVIDGE
Introducing a new column looking at folklore, local history and the natural world, written for Scarborough Review by Heather Elvidge of Muston. THIS WINTER has been colder than we’re used to, and now instead of spring there’s an even greater chill. Past generations feared this bleak, Siberian air: “Wind from the east, neither good for man nor beast.” We shouldn’t be surprised. This month is capable of anything, according to poet John Clare: “March, month of many weathers, wildly comes in hail and snow and threatening floods and hums.” March isn’t short of weather sayings, which all add up to one thing. If August is to have good weather for happy holidays and ripening crops, March needs to be cold and dry. Already there’s a cheerful choir at dawn, although freezing mornings bring a premature end as the birds disperse to find food. Robins, wrens, great tits and dunnocks are all doing their bit, but blackbirds have yet to hit their stride. When we hear their full, languid song we’ll know that spring is really here. In the meantime nature battles on. Toads and frogs are on a mission — after passing the winter under stones or in pond mud, in February and March they’re keen to get on with things. Some ponds already have little clumps of frogspawn and strings of toad eggs. This is the season of Lent, which began the day after Shrove Tuesday. Lenten is a very old word that had two meanings; it was the name given to Christians’ forty-day fast and it was also the word for spring. Traditionally Lent is the time to spring-clean the soul with a regime of fasting. Today, we’re more likely to give up something — alcohol, or that modern vice, plastic — but a Christian charity, Stewardship, has created a different daily challenge. The idea is to perform an act of kindness on every day of Lent. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have both signed up. Intrigued? Find out more on the website, 40acts.org.uk Halfway through Lent comes Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday (March 11). This celebration of Mums began when young workers who lived in with their employer were granted a rare day off to go home. Sundays in Lent were not fasting days, so the family could enjoy a special meal of lamb, egg custard, frumenty, and fig pie. Mothering-day customs died out in the 1930s, to be replaced by the US-style Mother’s Day. Curiously, the old customs never made it to most of Yorkshire and the northeast, where
WE
people celebrated Carling Sunday instead. On Passion Sunday, the fifth in Lent, the traditional meal was carlings or carlins — brown maple peas. The dried peas were soaked overnight, rinsed, then fried in butter and seasoned with pepper. Free portions used to be served to customers who spent their “carling groat” in pubs from the Humber to the Scottish borders. Carlings are still eaten on Tyneside, but if you can’t find any locally, shop for dried carlin peas at hodmedods. co.uk January had two, February not even one. March is bookended by them, on the 2nd and 31st. We’re talking full moons. In an old myth, a hare stares at the moon. Hares were linked with moon goddesses, rejuvenation and intuition, the sudden light in darkness. People used to see a hare in the full moon instead of a man-in-the-moon. There’s certainly something uncanny about brown hares. They’re handsome, strong and agile with an unexpected turn of speed, and if surprised on a narrow track, they look you in the eye. At the moment jacks are chasing jills, and jills boxing jacks, while other hares sit watching. These mad March hares are testing one another — who will make the most suitable mate? The jills are the ones that decide. The vernal equinox, when the sun crosses the imaginary celestial equator to favour the northern hemisphere, occurs on March 20. At this point, halfway between midwinter and midsummer, day and night are of more or less equal length. On the 25th, Palm Sunday, the clocks go forward one hour for British Summer Time. While this brings lighter evenings, the loss of one hour can also disrupt our sleeping patterns for up to a fortnight. To prepare for the shift, go to bed half an hour earlier on the Friday and Saturday. We know that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but the reverse is also true. The end of the month is said to borrow three days from April, and they’re not exactly spring-like: “March borrowed of April three days, and they were ill. The one was sleet, the other was snow; the third was the worst that ever did blow.” However it is possible to feel the sun’s strength now, providing you’re protected from those easterlies.

Muck & Magic Who Is Your Gardening Hero? By Sheila Johnson FOLLOWING days and days of rainy weather it's nearly impossible and very unadvisable to go anywhere near the soil at the moment. One of the very first things that junior gardeners learn in the early days of their apprenticeship is that if the soil is sticking to your boots it's too wet to be on it! So we store up wet weather jobs throughout the summer for just such occasions. Things like pot washing and tidying. Really exciting I know! However, when the rain just keeps on coming as it has done recently the muck and magic gardeners start to go stir crazy. There are only so many times you can move things about in the potting shed under the guise of cleaning up. So, this week, in an effort to ignore the rain clouds overhead, our entertaining chatter turned to our hero gardeners. Who has had most influence on your gardening life? The obvious candidates were trotted out such as Titchmarsh and Don. Going back a little further and showing his age, the muck and magic garden boy suggested that Geoff Hamilton, Percy Thrower, Clay Jones and Arthur Billet might make the list! Whatever your individual thoughts they have all had great influence on the gardening public over the years. Going back even further I would suggest that Sir Joseph Paxton was a gardening genius of his day and his work can still be seen in Scarborough and at beautiful Chatsworth in Derbyshire. A bit closer to home I would look back on my career and the great PK Willmott comes to mind. PK was a lecturer at Askham Bryan Horticultural College. A brilliant and well respected horticulturist with a rare gift of being able to impart knowledge in an interesting and informative way. Lectures with PK were always fully attended and that ,in itself ,says everything.
Nostalgia plays a big part in gardening whether it's creating a country cottage border or planting a favourite plant which has happy memories. Quite often we hear that "this is just like my grandads garden" or "my dad used to grow these!" And so our gardening heroes can be very close to home! The one missing element on my own personal list of hero gardeners is the lack of present day women gardeners who could be influential in the decision to make gardening and horticulture a career. I was very lucky to be taken under the wing of Phyllida Barker at Leeds Parks Department at the outset of my career and she taught me the basics and was a role model showing that women can succeed in what is still largely a mans world! To a certain extent Charlie Dimmock filled that role in her Ground Force days but where are we now? Everyone who gardens has their own inspiration. Who would your hero gardener be? Muck and Magic Garden Club will be meeting again on Monday 12th March at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine when our speaker will be Keith Abel. He will be talking about growing veg and flowers in a small back garden. The meeting starts at 7pm and I hope to see you all there. Happy Gardening!
Scarborough Strata By Roger Osborne
EVERYONE knows there are just two kinds of weather in Yorkshire; it’s either ‘a grand day’ or, more likely, ‘a rum day’. The British love to talk about the weather because we’re all in it together, but if you live out in the countryside you’re often in it more than you want to be. This winter seems to be particularly wet – no major floods but the fields are all fairly sodden, with pasture and arable land severely in need of a good dry spell. When I give talks about local rocks and landscapes, and how they work together, I usually end up talking about water. All that rain has to go somewhere and the presence of becks, rivers and springs has dictated where we put our houses, villages and towns throughout human history. And watercourses depend, to a large degree, on the underlying geology. That’s true along the Yorkshire coast but with an added twist. Regular readers will know that the last ice age brought massive ice sheets across the
North Sea and over the strip of lowlying land along the coast. When the ice melted around 11,500 years ago it left a thick layer of mud stretching from Saltburn down to Filey Bay, and from Bridlington to Spurn Point. This mud effectively blocked the local rivers from draining to the sea, and sent them on new courses inland. But over the last few thousand years streams have started to carve routes out of the soft glacial mud making new ways to the sea. Because they are so new the gullies they cut tend to be steep and narrow. Villages along the coast were built where there is access to the sea, plus shelter and fresh water, so these steep wet gulleys were ideal. Runswick, Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay and even Whitby are all tucked into recent river valleys. People flock to experience the atmosphere of these picturesque villages – it’s yet another way in which geology has contributed to the beauty of the Yorkshire coast.

The most beautiful people on earth A TALK about the Fulani was the subject of a talk for the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery. The Fulani are pastoral nomads who have lived in west Africa for at least 6,000 years, wielding commercial, political and religious power for centuries. They have been missionaries for Islam and have traded luxury items, ivory, wood, dairy products and slaves, from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Guinea. They are fine horsemen whose wealth is measured by the size of their cattle herds and jewellery. The talk was given by Dr Jane Glaister, who has worked among the Fulani, teaching in northern Nigeria. She came to admire them and their moral code, which stresses modesty, courage, patience and hospitality. The Fulani say they are the most beautiful people on earth. They are tall, athletic and intelligent, with long faces and straight narrow noses. Jane talked about their beauty pageants for both sexes, the dressing up, make-up, timeconsuming braiding of their hair in elaborate styles and the competitive line dancing. White teeth and wide-open eyes are admired.
Chocolat author and inveterate Tweeter Joanne Harris will tell intimate, engaging, quirky and darkly magical stories (15 Apr). They were originally written in 140-character segments for a Rosie Millard Twitter audience On the first day of the festival (11 Apr), former standup comedian and broadcaster Natalie Haynes will talk about her novel The Children of Jocasta; novelist and biographer N i c h o l a s Bali Rai Shakespeare will bring Churchill to life; and marathon man Ben Smith will talk about his work.

Foodwise, Rosie Millard will muse over our love of gossip, secrets and sensationalism over a Brazilian breakfast at the Palm Court Hotel (14 Apr); Eat Me café will serve pie, mash and liquor at the SJT and Ben Aaronovitch will share tales about writing for Dr Who and the bestselling Rivers of London series (13 Apr). Heather says: “I'd like to thank all my fantastic sponsors, partners, volunteers and friends of the festival. It wouldn't be possible without them.

Award for beauty Stamp buffs mark pageant author club’s oak anniversary A SCARBOROUGH beauty-queen writer won a special achievement trophy at the Natural Sparkle pageantry awards. Sally-Ann Fawcett couldn’t attend the ceremony so was presented with her trophy at the recent UK National Elite pageant in Blackpool. She said: “The fabulous Milli Jo Adair, Miss Junior Teen Great Britain 2017/18, made a touching and eloquent tribute to me before making the presentation. “Thank you so much to Milli Jo, to Leanne Woodall DQ for arranging the awards and so much besides, and to those kind souls who voted for me and recognised my lifelong passion and dedication to our fabulous hobby,” Sally-Ann said. “To receive this award in Blackpool - to my mind, the spiritual home of beauty pageants means the world to me”. The award recognised Sally-Ann’s contribution to the world of pageants through her books, judging and online support.
MENTAL health is often mentioned these days and thankfully a new awareness is becoming apparent for it. “One in four will suffer with mental health issues each year, but 71% of employees are worried about telling their employer”, according to Torque Law. Mental health is a state of well-being where one can realise their own potential and cope with the normal stresses and challenges of life. Five key points to help keep well-being balanced: Connect - connection is an extremely valuable tool to maintain our health and wellbeing. Whether it be connection with family, friends, colleagues, neighbours or someone we don't know. Share a smile, a few kind words, an appropriate hand shake or hug. Connect by chatting face to face, make a telephone call and share some news. Who will you connect with today? Be active - being active doesn't have to be a full exercise programme. Be mindful as you eat, move about your home or work place, sleep, focus, breath, laugh. What action are you going to take? Keep learning - regardless of when you left school, it is an important part of maintaining good health to keep learning. What would you like to learn, that you don't yet know?

Have you always wanted to learn to play chess, crochet or something else? Are you keen to know about other countries and cultures? Learning can take place from home, in the work place, as an individual or group, while travelling. What would you like to learn? Take notice - taking notice of yourself and others and what’s going on in the environment and world, helps one’s understanding. Notice how a friend is acting. They maybe happy or sad. Take notice of your environment and how it makes you feel. Would clearing the clutter help in some way? Take notice of nature; it is truly fascinating and inspiring. What will you take notice of? Give - a smile or a compliment; it can make a difference.

Patrick’s poetry published by Phantasm SCARBOROUGH poet Patrick Henry has had a book of his work published by Phantasm Press. Several of Patrick’s poems have recently appeared in the Review. Signed copies of Tolls of High Tide can be bought at Bookshelf at 6 Victoria Road, at Woodend and at the library. Here is one of the poems in the book. The End of Holbeck Hall Get away from it all before it gets away from you. On a calm shore where the gentry lives, We had in mind a rare sea view. But not from underneath the waves. The advert said, two minutes from the sea. “Make that two seconds”, they said, when we arrived. The croquet lawn dropped down at tea,
Patrick Henry
Things that went bump and bang in the night, Were not the hunting Holbeck ghost: Nor newlyweds in the bridal suite. But mortal clay leaving from the Yorkshire coast. Over breakfast cornflakes came the crunch. As the semi-detached lounge slid over the brink. And the dining room might be out to lunch: Washed down the slope with the kitchen sink. They said time’s come to check out, And leave the hotel, or it’ll soon leave us. But pay bills first. Get cheque-books out. Nothing, not even the roof, is on the house. The cliff-hanger story hung on as usual. The media went over the top on it. Disc-jockeys played endlessly Heartbreak Hotel. Requiem mass was said by a trendy priest. World news saw it: a symbol of England dying. A class structure in peril on unsafe ground. Going down proudly, all chintz curtains flying. Outdated as the imperial pint and the sterling pound.
But you can play there at low tide.

A YOUNG ice-cream lover has won as much of it as he can eat – almost. Jack Phillips adores ice cream and goes in the Harbour Bar as often as he can. He has been a member of the Harbour Bar Kids’ Club for three years and has just won its annual competition. Jack, 10, had to write a poem to go with a colourful picture. Jack lives in Crossgates and goes to East Ayton School. He is a singer and dancer at Scarborough Dance Centre, which he joined three years ago. Jack is pictured tucking in to a chocolata ice cream, with Harbour Bar staff Jodie North and Hannah Horton. His poem reads: “Rudolph happy on his way, Takes a break from Santa’s sleigh

Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy in Their Finest THEIR Finest, a British war comedy-drama, is Scarborough Film Society’s next offering (12A, 117 mins, 5 Mar).

Advertisers and sponsors needed for Skyball A PAIR of fundraisers are busy organising their third Apart Ball at the Crown Spa in Scarborough. Skyball, on 17 March, will have a James Bond theme. It sold out in four days but Neil Fitzpatrick and Brett McMann are still on the look-out for advertisers for the event brochure and more sponsors. They hope to raise £60,000 for Cancer Research UK. Over the last two years, Neil and Brett have run two and half marathons for the charity and are now training for their third - the London marathon in April. “It’s incredible, the level of support we receive for our events, marathons and fundraising and we’re so grateful that people have been and continue to be so kind with their donations, time and talents”, Neil says.

Words and photo by Dave Barry A ROCK opera about an infamous Tudor king is being reprised for a one-off performance on Saturday 3 March, at 7pm. Rock on, Henry is an amusing take on Henry VIII, England’s most-married monarch, a bully who executed his opponents, oversaw the destruction of religious buildings and works of art, and killed off two of his six wives. With music by Bill Scott and lyrics by Peter Kaye, it was originally written for schools and first performed in 1982 by Scarborough and District Light Operatic Society. The new production has been revised and shortened but with additional material by Tim Tubbs and Dave Blaker; it lasts an hour. It will form the second half of the annual concert by Bill’s 70-strong Scarborough Community Choir, with the 30-piece Sandside Orchestra and Sandside Players. The first half will feature the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto, with soloist Frank James, and a World War 1 sequence to commemorate the centenary of the final year of the conflict. The cast of Rock on, Henry is Dave Blaker as Henry, Lesley Machen as Catherine of Aragon, Kathryn Irwin as Anne Boleyn, Josephine Pimm as Jane Seymour, Rae Yaldren as Anne of Cleves, Rebecca KellyEvans as Catherine Howard, Louise Stanway as Catherine Parr, Anita Hill & Kath Mundey as ladies-in-waiting, Roger Crowther as a French envoy, Hilary Watts as Cardinal

From the Mississippi delta, she defies easy categorisation, says promoter Chris Lee. “Her new album, Stardust, is the kind of album that could only come out of the South. “There’s a hint of delta blues behind the ache in her songs, a glimpse of honky-tonk twang, an echo of riverboat can-cans, a whiff of Morricone and an atmosphere of the darker
side of country songwriting”, Chris says. “Harkening back to the glory days of Lee Hazlewood and Gram Parsons, Brent’s songs tap into the dark undercurrent of country that starts with old Appalachian murder ballads and continues to today’s current crop of psychedelic country songwriters”. Tickets cost £10. Kathryn Roberts and her husband Sean Lakeman, twice winners of the Radio 2 folk award for best duo, can be seen on Sunday 18 March. “On their landmark fifth album, Personae, they introduce us to a host of new characters and stories from their fertile and energetic musical imaginations”, Chris says. “Drawing upon the British folk tradition’s
from there too”, says Sally Caitlin, from Manchester. Other locations include the North York moors. “I chose the Yorkshire coast as the shoot location because it was the most striking of a number of beach / clifftop areas that I visited in the north of England and Wales”, Sally says. The narrative of the video revolves around a couple who run away from reality to somewhere beautiful and the road trip they take to get there. The actor playing Sally’s boyfriend in the film is Jack Midgley, from Barnsley. The video is easy to find on Youtube and the single, Alive, is available on all the usual platforms.

natural backdrops whilst weaving in their own distinct and eclectic flavours, self-penned songs sit comfortably alongside traditional ballads to provide a hugely entertaining and varied evening of music and song. “Listen out for stories of knights, grizzly murder, giants and an ancient tortoise”. Tickets cost £12. Both gigs are due to begin at 7.30pm. Tickets can be bought at Woodend and online at eventbrite.

Vinyl fans prepare for The band plays on Record Store Day after half a century A SCARBOROUGH music shop has been chosen by the organisers of Record Store Day to host an event when a list of exclusive RSD releases will be announced. To celebrate the launch, Record Revivals in Northway will throw a party on Tuesday 6 March, from 5–8pm. It will feature live music from Richard Adams and DJ sets by former Goldfrapp drummer Rowan Oliver. There will be goodies available from RSD partner brands, which include Fred Perry, Rega Turntables and Friels Cider, who are providing free taster cans. The RSD exclusives list will be made public at around 6pm. Attendees will be given copies along with wish-list cards, on which they can record their most wanted releases, which will hit the shops on the 11th RSD, on 21 April. In conjunction with RSD, the Sound Performance organisation will offer an unsigned band to have their music released on vinyl, distributed and promoted across
the UK music industry. For details, email rsdunsigned@ soundperformance.co.uk or ask at Record Revivals. Record Revivals is owned Paul Toole and Gill Brown, who took over the long-established business when previous proprietor Rod Emms retired in September. Paul says: “Obviously it’s very exciting for us to have been chosen by the RSD organisers to be one of the 200 shops nationwide to run the promotional event. “RSD is incredibly important for independent shops and it’s something that really grips the imagination of collectors, especially as the shops aren’t allowed to reserve anything – it’s literally first come, first served. It’s fantastic therefore that we can give our customers a sneak preview of ‘that list’ while listening to great music and sipping a refreshing cider”. Over the last 10 years, RSD has become one of the most eagerly anticipated and important events for vinyl fans up and down the country. In 2017, over 500 artists released limited edition vinyl products available exclusively at over 200 stores. The success of RSD has sparked a huge turnaround in fortunes for the nation’s independent record stores, with new shops opening at nearly one a week since last year’s RSD. And the vinyl boom continues as the latest industry statistics from the Entertainment Retailers Association show vinyl sales growing for the 10th year by a further 34% in 2017 to an £88m business.

Tim charts path of detective fiction over the years Words and photo by Dave Barry THE golden age of detective fiction was expounded by Tim Tubbs at Filey library. As rain played percussion on the one-storey building’s roof, the audience was rapt. In his clear, gentle voice, Tim regaled about 35 people with tales of the golden age, which he put at 1919-39, the inter-war period. But he covered the periods before and since too, outlining the emergence of detective fiction in the 19th century and guiding us through the popular short stories of Conan Doyle to the full-length whodunits of authors such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers, between the wars and beyond, towards the modern crime novel. “Hercules Poirot was essentially Sherlock Holmes part two, tarted up for the 1920s”. A line about Rotarians running prostitution rackets raised one of many laughs. It would be hard to find a more literate, erudite, knowledgeable, authoritative, charismatic, articulate and amusing speaker in this area. Tim is blessed with a phenomenal memory and instant recall. Scarborough-born, Eton-educated Tim used
Tim Tubbs at Filey library with librarian Vikki Allan (to order photos ring 353597) his background in music, literature training, the Sadler’s Wells Theatre, representing dance companies and artists, producing touring shows and managing large events, to give a fascinating and entertaining guide to the world of fictional crime. Books by many of the authors mentioned are available to borrow at the library. Alternatively, those interested in the lives of golden age detective authors can find out more online using their library card to access the Dictionary of National Biography free via capitadiscovery.co.uk / northyorkshire.

The proceeds from the second, at the Salvation Army Citadel on 20 October, will go to the Willows Lull respite care centre for children.

Although no charge will be made for admission community music making and are reaching to any of the concerts, a collection will be out to young people in our area and further afield to encourage their confidence, both made at each, for the charities. The band was formed in 1968 from the ashes inside and outside the bandroom. of the Band of the 4/5 Green Howards, which “We must pay tribute to the late Alan Horton, bit the dust when the Territorial Army was who was the conductor from the band’s formation in 1968 until his retirement in 2003”. reorganised. Conductor Malcolm Appleby says: “Over Tickets can be obtained from the charities and the intervening 50 years, we have had many band members, and via the band’s website, scarboroughconcertband.co.uk. musicians come and go. “We are proud of the inheritance passed down
The golden age of detective fiction by Tim Tubbs It seems to me that the classic whodunit writers of the 1920s, at the start of the golden age, followed and adapted the Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson formula. A consulting detective of deductive brilliance and eccentric behaviour lives in London bachelor lodgings, assisted by a dim, gung-ho pal-cum-sidekick who can do any strong-arm or romantic stuff and make fatuously wrong deductions to show off the super-sleuth while making the reader feel pleasantly superior. Plus, of course, the obligatory clumping or arrogantly faulty Scotland Yard professional (Inspector Lestrade etc). It was a clever pattern, but a bit limiting after a while, as to plot, character and setting. Agatha Christie follows the pattern carefully in early Poirot novels and short stories of the 1920s, placing Hercule Poirot in lodgings at 14 Farraway Street, sharing with his Watsonian pal Captain Hastings and looked after by landlady Mrs Pearson. The 1920s short stories are full of Holmesian cases: stolen jewels, blackmailed prime ministers’ wives, missing cooks or dysfunctional mysteries in country gentry families. And we have the happily dense and selfsatisfied Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard on hand to make an ass of himself. In her autobiography, Christie freely admitted to following the Holmes model, adding that she’d made Poirot interestingly different and more topical by basing him on the Belgian refugees she’d met in Torquay during the Great War - and we first meet Poirot, retired from the Belgian police force, as a war refugee staying in the village where her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, is set. In the 1930s, Christie introduced Miss
Marple and St Mary Mead (a character and atmosphere she found far more interesting and congenial) and upgraded Poirot to the art deco splendour of Whitehaven Mansions, attended by a manservant, Georges, and secretary, Miss Lemon. Captain Hastings has become too limiting and formulaic, and is packed off to marital bliss, farming in Argentina (returning occasionally to assist once again); and Poirot starts being aided and abetted by the eccentric crime writer Mrs Ariadne Oliver (a humorous spoof of Christie herself), when he isn’t gadding luxuriously about Petra, Mesopotamia, a Nile cruise, the Orient Express, an aeroplane from Le Bourget to Croydon, or what-have-you. The same general pattern was followed with Dorothy L Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey, Margery Alingham’s Albert Camption and Ngaio Marsh’s Inspector Alleyn, all of whom start out in the Holmesian model, fashionably updated with 1920s manners. In the 1920s, Wimsey is pure PG Wodehouse (monocle, affected speech, dilettante, manabout-town lifestyle, living in bachelor splendour in Piccadilly, attended by his faithful, imperturbable manservant Bunter). He’s a sort of Bertie Wooster with brains beneath the idiotic manner and speech. Campion and Alleyn also start in Mayfair bachelor flats with menservants. By the 1930s, or a few books into their series, the supersleuth shed the man-about-town mannerisms, and the manservant tends to fade out, partially or altogether (sometimes with the Mayfair bachelor pad), in Wimsey’s and Alleyn’s cases, as they fall in love and eventually marry - Wimsey with Bloomsbury crime writer Harriet Vane and Alleyn with brilliant painter Agatha Troy, both of whom play increasingly important roles in the later stories.

A DECADE OF HOPE CAN TURN INTO GLORY Scarborough Athletic fan and commentator, Ant Taylor, looks back on the last ten years of Scarborough Athletic. You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant Photos by Ant Taylor I was asked as a fan of Scarborough Athletic to write about the history of the new club that was created 10 years ago. There is so much I could put in, but let’s keep with the good bits. If you still haven’t come to see a game yet, all March fixtures are at the end of the piece. UP THE BORO! Scarborough Athletic FC was formed in 2007 after the demise of Scarborough FC. The new club was named Athletic after the old ground on Seamer Road. On the 25th June 2007, Scarborough Athletic, a fan-owned club, was accepted into the NCEL Division One for 07/08 season. Their home games would be played at east coast neighbours, Bridlington Town’s Queensgate as there was no suitable ground in the Borough of Scarborough. The first manager for BORO was the very experienced Brian France, with his son Darren as his assistant. The former North Ferriby manager set up an open trail to help create a team of former players and talent from Scarborough, days after the clubs formation. The clubs first ever match was a 0-0 draw against local side Edgehill at Hunmanby’s sands lane ground before a friendly against Northallerton Town, this also finished in a 2 all draw with Shaun Chadburn scoring the Seadogs first ever goal. Scarborough’s first ever league goal came at an away trip to Terversal, when Dave Thompson, a local lad, got things rolling but the game ended in 2-1 defeat. This match was also where BORO fans turned up in suits to show their appreciation of being joint owners of the club. The clubs first promotion came in the 2008/09 season, ironically at the same ground where Scarborough played their first league match, at Terversal FC. But it wasn’t until a week later that they won the league in front of a crowd of 800 at their adopted home at Queensgate against Brighouse Town. That same year there was an FA Vase run which ended in the fourth round against Bideford FC. In the 2010/11 season Brian France was struck by a football and had a brain haemorrhage
from the injury sustained. After weeks it was clear that the club would have to look for a new commander & chief, the person to be given the job would be Paul Olsson in the winter of 2010, but by the time spring came along Olsson left the club after a mixed result, which made way for Scarborough Athletic’s third manager Rudy Funk. Rudy is a cult hero of the club and to this very day holds a special place in many Seadog’s hearts. As the 2012/13 season saw the town of Scarborough celebrating again in Bridlington as they had got their second promotion with only two defeats all season. But it wasn’t made easy with Brighouse Town pushing them all the way. It wasn’t until the two clubs met head to head at Brighouse, that two former Scarborough FC players Blott and Beadle scored a goal a piece bringing daylight for Athletic. One more win would see them though the door of the Evo-stik Leagues. A win is what happened and Scarborough was onto their second promotion in their short history. Captain Tony Hackworth led the celebrations. Scarborough Athletic were promoted into the Evo-Stik South, and new blood was brought into the club, a trio of North Ferriby players were brought in, Bradshaw, Chris Bolder and another ex-Scarborough FC player, Paul Foot,
to fill in for the players who left for pastures new. The club finished the season in a credible seventh place. The second season BORO moved to the northern section, the club started well, but then results stopped going their way and Rudy Funk left the club. Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot took hold of the reigns as the first joint managers and fourth in total in December 2014. With a few new faces, the Seadogs were close to a play off place. By the 2015-16 season there was a buzz around the club, as not only had they nearly got the same squad that was so close to the play offs with some new additions, but planning permission was granted to the new all purpose sports village on the old Park & Ride car park. BORO started off with a killer run of four straight wins and a 6-0 thrashing of Harrogate Railway at Station View. But the team went on a nine game losing streak and got dumped out of the FA Cup by Consett, it wasn’t till mid October that they got a 1-0 win over Trafford FC. But Foot and Hughes couldn’t stop the team slipping to eighteenth place and both managers left buy mutual consent. Chairman Dave Holland and Scarborough Athletic were now looking for their fifth manager.
The new year brought fresh optimism as Steve Kittrick was installed as the gaffer with Chris Bolder as his assistant. Steve had a tough job to save the club from relegation and that was achieved as the club finished twentieth and got an opportunity to win a trophy, only to be foiled in the last minutes on an exciting night at Throstle Nest, losing 2-1 against Marine. Steve Kittrick started his first season with what would be the foundations of a successful season on the pitch, but BORO was yet again dumped out of the FA Cup by rivals Tadcaster Albion and then the FA Trophy away at Shaw Lane. Scarborough was still picking up points in the league but it looked like only a play off place was up for grabs. On Boxing Day, Scarborough seeked revenge from the earlier defeat in the FA Cup, when Cameron Murray fired in a winning goal to win 3-2. In February 2016 the club was rocked to the core with the death of Chairman Dave Holland. On the day he died, Scarborough played Ossett Town in an emotionally charged game where Joe Green saved a penalty and both teams came away sharing a point. What happened next was nothing short of special, the team galvanised together and went on an impressive run to try and get a promotion as David’s dream had been to get the club in the league where the old club would have been relegated from back in 2007. Scarborough went into the last eight games without conceding a goal and a dramatic 1-0 win over Tadcaster got the team into the playoffs. But it was a step too far, as Scarborough then lost out to Ossett Town in front of a four figured crowd. The start of this season saw the club move back to Scarborough to the newly named Flamingo Land Stadium with an opener against Sheffield United XI in front of a 2000+ crowd. Scarborough also had a great run in the FA Cup only to lose 2-0 to Hyde United. In 2017 Scarborough went up to South Shields FC and beat the league favourites 3-1 and for now, the rest is history.
Sporting achievers honoured at ceremony Words and photos by Dave Barry The borough’s leading sporting achievers were honoured at the annual sport awards on Monday. They were presented by Yorkshire and England cricketer Adam Lyth, who talked to
nominees about his sporting journey, benefits and achievements. The awards were introduced in the early 1980s with five categories. There are now 19 categories that recognise all aspects of sports delivery - individuals, teams, coaches, volunteers, sports teachers, inclusive sport and long service. The event is organised on behalf of Scarborough & District Sports Council by Scarborough Council’s sport development manager, Matt Hewison. Matt said: “We received a good amount of nominations and each category was really competitive. The standard of the nominations was again very high”. Matt said he hadn’t fully realised the level of sporting achievement across the borough until he had started putting the presentation together. The ceremony, in the Spa Ocean Room, was attended by Chris Rhodes, who chairs the Sports Council; the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith; David Watson, executive director of North Yorkshire Sport; and Martin Miles and Kevan Murray of leisure
provider Everyone Active, which sponsored the awards. Matt said: “The event was an opportunity to celebrate and recognise local sporting achievement”. “It was great that we had someone like Adam attending this year as he will have inspired a lot of the young people attending to continue participating and striving in sport”. The categories were for primary and junior sports girls and boys aged under 11, 14, 16 and 18; primary team under 11; playing
teams aged under 18 and senior; female and male achievers; the Lesley Gillatt school sport teacher of the year; the inclusive sport award; the community sports club; sports volunteer of the year; coach of the year; the North Yorkshire sport service-to-sport award; and the Mavis Clayton memorial trophy for outstanding achievement, which went to Angus Leckenby. The ceremony started with a performance by local singer Maggie Slaughter.

Prospering golf club Dusty old ledgers bucks national trend reveal club’s past Words and photo by Dave Barry BY staying open and prospering, North Cliff Golf Club is bucking the national trend. Over the last few years, many clubs, including some not far from Scarborough, have found themselves in serious difficulty. Many have been struggling for membership and forced to close. But North Cliff Golf Club’s membership has remained stable over the last five years and its subs haven’t increased for three years. About 400 men and 50 women are registered, plus house members, who don’t play, and members of the junior section. The key to the club’s survival and success lies in its prominent position, with breathtaking views across the north bay and out to sea, in its magnificent course and in its astute management - among other factors. The club has just completed a major refurbishment which has cost £60,000, according to Peter Nixon, who chairs its finance committee. “It represents a major capital investment in
the club while managing to keep subs at the same level over the last three years”, Peter says. The money has come out of club funds, together with donations from the Rabbits and ladies sections. The previous club captain, Richard Boddington, was instrumental in organising a fundraising campaign. The club has employed local tradesmen, including members, as much as possible. House chairman Eleanor Patterson and her committee organised the refurbishment. The main lounge looks a lot brighter and more spacious and attractive. New furniture arrives shortly and new carpets have been fitted throughout the building. The club offers apprenticeship schemes with reduced fees for people who are new to golf. The club, including the main lounge and a variety of smaller rooms, is available for hire. For details, ring manager Jo Duck on 355397. Website: northcliffgolfclub.co.uk.
Pictured in the main lounge are, L-R, club captain John Holborn, finance chairman Peter Nixon, chairman John Titley, president Dave Ellard and vice captain and rabbits captain Colin Glaves (to order photos ring 353597)

Taekwondo club in Hunmanby YOUNG students at a new taekwondo club have taken their first step towards black-belt status by passing their yellow-belt gradings. The East Coast All Stars Taekwondo is run by a third-degree black-belt instructor. Darren Coleman was trained by World Taekwondo Association president and former Olympic coach Gary Sykes, who praised his former pupil, saying he “delivers high-quality lessons and is a qualified professional coach”. Darren said: “We are a small start-up club operating in some of the more outlying rural areas of the east coast and trying to not only grow the business but to provide opportunities for students to access a martial art which is usually more prevelant in larger towns or
cities”. The club meets at Hunmanby Hall on Thursdays, from 5-6pm, for juniors of all abilities. Every Tuesday from 13 March, it will also meet at Bempton and Buckton Community Centre, from 6.30-7.30pm for juniors and 7.30-8.30pm for adults. The first lesson is free. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, characterised by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. n To contact the club, ring 07951 649934 or visit its website at www.eastcoastallstars. simplesite.com.

DURING the refurbishment of North Cliff Golf Club, several dusty old ledgers were discovered in the loft. The oldest dates back to the club’s opening in 1909. The first member is listed as the Honourable George Monckton Arundell of Serlby Hall in Bawtry, Nottinghamshire, whose occupation is listed as ‘gentleman’. Aka the eighth Viscount Galway, he unsuccessfully contested the Scarborough constituency in the 1910 general election before becoming governor general of New Zealand. Subsequent entries in the early years include a pianoforte dealer, a French polisher, a master re-polisher and a cabinet maker. Finance chairman Peter Nixon jests: “I’m not sure whether the French polisher was not good at his job and was possibly being followed round by the re-polisher?” There are occupations that we would expect from Scarborough: fish dealer, confectionery makers, many hoteliers and boarding-house keepers, pub and hotel managers and fancygoods dealers. Associated occupations were the theatre manager, musician and entertainer and musical dealer. “We still have people in the club who can raise a laugh – mostly when they are holding clubs”, George quips. He adds: “There are entries for those professions that we know have more leisure time than most, ie accountants and bank managers (14), solicitors (8), school teachers (too many to count) but also, and arguably far more useful, turf accountants (2). “There are representatives of occupations that could be accused of bringing in unfair external influences to help their golf, ie two clerks in holy orders, a Roman Catholic priest and, intriguingly, a ‘spinster’ (sic) giving her address as The Convent. It would
be nice to think that she was a nun that took up the golfing habit but I suspect she was a teacher. “There are occupations, some of which we recognise, but whose names may have altered slightly: dry salter, optical practitioner, manager of a footwear store, farrier, cigar merchant, hire-car proprietor, iron founder, dairyman and commission agent”. George continues: “Interestingly, the following occupations occur regularly in the register and are usually to be found in close proximity to one another, namely GPs, surgeons and butchers. “There are a number of very individual entries: sculptor, dance teacher, billiard proprietor (note, not snooker) and US air force major. “Trades are well represented: plumbers, joiners and carpenters abound but interestingly, only one recorded windowcleaner”, George says. “Mind you, I understand window cleaners can be a bit of a ‘pane’ to play with. They don’t like chipping but are much better at putt(y)ing”. Most of the occupations listed are predominantly male, as women’s occupations are not listed. Rather, they are described as ‘spinster’ or ‘married woman’. In the years leading up to 1939, the number of single women exceeded those who were married. George concludes: “We also have the accounts from 1952 when subscriptions for a full male member were five guineas and I understand that [club captain] John Holborn still has his receipt. “It might be amusing to devise your ideal four-ball from the occupations listed here. I think I would go for the nun, the French polisher, the fish dealer and the entertainer”.
New bowlers welcome in Eastfield EASTFIELD Bowling Club is hoping to attract potential new players to an open day on Saturday 3 March, from 10am onwards. Competition secretary David Wicks says: “They can come and have a go if they haven’t played before. “Just wear flat shoes - bowls will be provided”.
David adds that it is a small friendly club. If the weather is ok, a competition will be staged. On 18 March, the club is hosting a drawn pairs merit with bowlers from other clubs. “We have up to 100 people coming”, David says. The club is in Eastway, next to the shop.

SCARBOROUGH’S shock defeat by Old Sam Dawson, No8 Ben Martin and flanker Rishworthians at Silver Royd on the 17th of Aaron Wilson added one apiece with Tom the February put a huge dent in the Seasiders’ Ratcliffe converting all but one for a 33-0 promotion ambitions particularly coming score-line. Dawson and prop Mikey Whitton after a couple of resounding league wins were named men-of-the-match. earlier on in the month. Those victories saw Tom Harrison had only played a couple of them sit in second place in Yorkshire Division games since October due to two separate injuries and One with a returned at flybig chance half for the Old of, at least Rishworthians a play-off game.

Photography by Andy Standing settled look for defeat of this game with Middlesbrough at Silver Royd (reported in Tom back at fly-half, Jimmy Perrett at fullback last month’s review) Scarborough travelled to and Tom Ratcliffe back in his favoured Old Brodlieans the following Saturday. It was outside centre position. However the visitors their second visit to Old Brod’s Hipperholme went off like a train and were 17-0 up before ground where they had won 38-19 in the half-time scoring three tries, two of them from quarter-final of the Yorkshire Challenge interceptions. The Seasiders fought-back and Shield in October. And they maintained the the game ended with a deserved 24-18 win for form shown in the defeat of the Teesiders the Old Rishworthians who gained revenge for previous week with a couple of tries apiece a 34-32 defeat by Scarborough earlier in the from lock Phil Watson and centre Jimmy season. Perret plus eleven points from the boot of fly- Looking for excuses the Scarborough faithful half Tom Ratcliffe coming away with a 36-27 generally blamed the reshuffle back to the bonus point win after a cracking hard-fought line-up in the threequarters that proved so successful early in the season which they game. Watson was named man of the match. Next up came struggling North Ribblesdale, thought disrupted the pattern played since Yorkshire’s most northerly rugby club based the New Year. However in common with in Settle. Ribb were in the relegation area but Scotland Coach Gregor Townsend after his are having a revival and were expected to side’s thrashing in Wales last month, I believe give Scarborough a tough afternoon at Silver you’ve got to earn the right to spread the ball Royd. However Jimmy Perrett continued wide and that on the day Scarborough failed his good form playing out of position in the to win the forward battle before trying to play centre and ran in a couple of tries. Hooker their expansive style of rugby.
If leaders York continue to win then the second play-off place will be between Beverley, Scarborough, Heath and perhaps Middlesbrough who had a bonus point win over Beverley last week. However it still looks as if Scarborough’s crunch game will be at Heath on Saturday where I expect Simon Smith to start with the same line-up chosen against Rishworthians. Heath have yet to play York home and away and Beverley have yet to entertain the Minstermen whose only defeat this season was by Middlesbrough; so there still could be many twists and turns before the issue is settled in April. YORKSHIRE DIVISION ONE: WEF 24 February 2018 Following Saturday’s game at Heath, the Seasiders entertain Hullensians at Silver Royd on the 10th of March. That game is followed by back to back games against Beverley with the Semi-final of the Yorkshire Shield at home on the 17th and a Yorkshire One game at Beaver Park the following week on the 24th; so a really exciting month ahead. Aaron is by no means the finished article but has had another great month doing what a good six should do with enthusiasm and energy, harrying and putting the opposition midfield and back row under pressure. As a young and fairly inexperienced player his positional play will improve but his tackling, strength in possession and commitment was inspiring throughout the month.

a Tommy Taylor saving a penalty to help secure the point. That was the first time in 23 matches that Boro had failed to score, and they dropped to 3rd in the table, but are just 2 points adrift of leaders South Shields and one point behind Hyde United, with a game in hand on the Cheshire side. Fourth placed Bamber Bridge are 7 points behind Boro, and these four teams look set to fight out for the promotion places.

Scarborough Athletic FC news BORO AIM FOR PROMOTION A FANTASTIC run of ten successive league & cup wins has reinforced Boro’s challenge for success in their first season back in Scarborough after ten long years in exile at Bridlington. Their main priority is to clinch promotion to the Evo Stik League premier division, and Steve Kittrick’s side are now involved in a close battle at the top of the Evo Stik North table, along with leaders South Shields, Hyde United and Bamber Bridge for the two automatic promotion places. A string of top notch performances in recent weeks has left Boro with a great chance of winning promotion, and they are also still involved in two cup competitions going into the last two full months of the season.

He has formed a terrific partnership with Sam Hewitt at the heart of the defence, and was man of the match in the nervy 2-1 win against Skelmersdale United in the last home game. His loan deal has now been extended to the middle of March, but supporters will be hoping he remains with the club at least until the end of the season.
