Scarborough railway men complete successful mountain mission

by Pete Spence

pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk TWO First TransPennine Express railway colleagues have re-acclimatised back to normal life after an adrenaline fuelled trek to Mount Everest Base Camp, in an organised mission to support the Railway Children, raising over £1000 so far.

FTPE Driver Manager, Steve Whitehead, 44, based at York, and Train Driver Darren Morley, 46, based at Scarborough, started their adventure with a lively landing at Lukla Airport –listed as one of the five most dangerous airports in the world.This was followed by eight days trekking, interspersed with rest and acclimatisation days, to reach Everest Base Camp.

Scarborough Review editor Pete Spence spoke to the pair before their adventure and now had the opportunity to talk to them about their epic mountain mission.

Steve said: “We spent the first few days walking through beautiful valleys and gorges with crystal blue melt water rivers meandering their way past us, before embarking on the challenge of the ascent to Namche

Bazaar; a stunning town which is home of the Sherpa.

“The next part of the journey cannot be described with words. As we left the village, on an uninteresting path, we turned a corner and there she was. Everest. The mother earth, as the Nepalese describe it, was absolutely mesmerising and our attention had been fully captivated at this moment.”

Both Steve and Darren are very active tri-athletes, who regularly take part in sporting activities.

Darren commented: “Nothing we could have done could have prepared us for what we were up against on the trek –but wow. The shift in scenery from the first step, the feeling of changing altitudes and the high spirits of the group we embarked on this adventure which have contributed to one of the best experiences of my life.”

Steve added: “I remember breathing a deep sigh of relief as we stepped onto the glacier at Everest Base Camp and the whole group, weary yet ecstatic, burst into a cloud of hugging and praise. The feeling was phenomenal.”

Neesoms rev up the support for Yorkshire Air Ambulance

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk UNCLE and nephew John and James Neesom raised plenty of cash from their sponsored walk and collection bucket at Oliver’s Mount Spring Cup Road Races.

James said: “It was great to raise so much money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and I imagine we will get quite a bit more for the signed picture of Guy. “It was nice of him to help out and it is for a great cause.”

The duo tackled the tough Yorkshire Three Peaks walk to raise the first part of their charity donation.

The collection revved up their total raised for Yorkshire Air Ambulance to a staggering £1042.17.

Ron Clarke of Manx Photography donated a canvas of superstar Guy Martin and Guy kindly signed it for bike ace James.

The canvas will be raffled at the next three Mount meets and drawn at the Gold Cup to raise even more funds for the air ambulance.

Keith blessed to be showcasing his talents in Scarborough

DONCASTER-born Whitby artist Keith Blessed will be visiting Scarborough Art Society on Wednesday May 6, and will use pastels to create a coastal scene.

Some years ago Keith was on Scarborough Art Society committee, but is now a member of the Whitby Art Society. He is currently setting up an exhibition at Whitby Pavilion for 2728 June. Keith also has a pastel workshop planned at the Robin Hood’s Bay Station Art Workshop on Saturday 20 June.

He is enthusiastic about pastels and explains that he applies pastel to sandpaper - this gives his pictures texture and vibrancy and he feels that the use of this medium is vastly underrated.

Keith will share his passion for this medium at the Queen Street Methodist Hall at 7 pm. Visitors are always welcome at £3 admission. Refreshments are provided. n Examples of Keith’s work can be seen at: www.keithblessed.co.uk

Big night of music at Westborough Methodist Church

Girl power leads Charlotte and Florence to Thailand trip

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk CHARLOTTE Dickinson and Florence Hargreaves head out to Thailand in July after being selected from a pool of 40 to form a team of just 12 to do a community project in Thailand called Valuing Girls. The Team will be led by four adult leaders and the friends have been busy fundraising too to make sure they could make the final cut.

Each girl had to raise £2000 to enable them to take part. The girls have had support from the local community already including Filey Lions, The Trefoil Guilds of Filey and Scarborough. They had a joint fundraising coffee morning on Easter Saturday for both girls and Charlotte also did a Car Boot Sale. On May 4 they will be having a Bag Pack in Tesco Filey. The rest of the members of the unit have pulled together to support the From left, Florence Hargreaves, Filey Mayor John Shackleton, girls in their fundraising.

Deputy Mayor Susan Busomworth and Charlotte Dickinson at Charlotte said: “I have been a member of their fundraising coffee morning girlguidng since I was five and the trip to Thailand will be a once in a lifetime experience. At the moment it doesn’t seem real, and I don’t think it will until I’m there. The team we’re going with are so lovely, and I can’t wait to go out and make a difference.

Florence and I are close outside the organisation, and its great to be going with someone who I get along with so well. I can always rely on her for support and without her the whole process of raising money would’ve been a lot harder.”

Florence added: “I’m really looking forward to the international trip to Thailand with Girl Guides, it’s an amazing opportunity and I am really thankful to be able to represent Girl Guiding. I’m excited to be working with fellow Girl Guides in Thailand as it will be great to understand their culture but hopefully offer some support to help these girls in the future who are less fortunate than myself. “ Charlotte is a first year student at York College studying AS Engineering, History and English while Florence studies at Scarborough Sixth Form College.

The project Valuing Girls is held every year by girl guides in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with the support of Eileen Smith, an accredited Trainer from the UK, who live near York. n For further information on Girlguiding check out our website: www.girlguiding.org.uk

Mike is fighting the corner for the older generation

AS we head towards a General Election, Scarborough social care provider Mike Padgham is on a mission.

He is fighting to get the care of the country’s older and most vulnerable adults to be heard as an election issue.

For Mike, who recently marked 25 years in the sector, this is part of a long-standing effort to get social care a higher profile and, most importantly, a greater share of Government funding.

He believes that the sector, and in particular those who receive care and those who work hard to provide it, deserve better.

Adult social care refers to services provided to adults who need support due to their age, illness or disability. That care is provided in care homes or by carers for people in their own home. Most of that care is commissioned by local authorities and clinical commissioning groups.

Mike is managing director of the awardwinning St Cecilia’s care home in Stepney Road, Scarborough and the Eastfield House day care centre in Eastway, Eastfield.

He is also chair of the United Kingdom Homecare Association (UKHCA) and of the Independent Care Group (York and North Yorkshire) as well as a member of many other social care bodies and a social care consultant.

Mike has long championed the sector but is worried about its future as the impact of the economic climate takes its toll.

“The economic downturn had a devastating effect on the care of our most vulnerable people, with fewer and fewer getting the care they need,” he says.

“The economy is showing signs of

improvement but there are still years of austerity ahead.

“For as long as I can remember, social care has been the poor relation when compared to healthcare and has always been under-funded.”

Mike says more and more people are needing care, as the country’s population gets older and life expectancy grows.

Their care needs are also becoming more complex.

Those growing needs are not being met by a corresponding increase in social care funding or provision and the economic downturn saw funding cut instead of grow.

At the same time, the government is, quite rightly, demanding that standards of care rise.

It is estimated that some £3.5bn has been taken out of the social care system since 2010 because of cuts in funding to local authorities’ budgets. They have been forced to revise their criteria for who receives care and some 500,000 people who would have received social care in 2009 no longer qualify for it.

According to Age UK government spending on care homes for the elderly was slashed by nearly a fifth between 2010 and 2014.

Whilst politicians are pledging to find the extra £8bn a year for the NHS there has been no similar pledge to find the estimated extra £4.3bn a year that social care is expected to need by 2020.

“This cannot go on – we have been warning for more than a decade that the system was approaching crisis point, well we have now reached that crisis and politicians are going to have to tackle the issue,” added Mike.

The Independent Care Group has launched its own election manifesto calling for, amongst other things, ring-fenced funding for social care, the merging of social care and NHS care into one department with its own cabinet post, and closer inspection of the people who commission care.

It also calls for a promise that any increase in funding for NHS care is ‘locked in’ to a corresponding increase for social

care. The group wants to create a social care system where people don’t have to sell their homes to pay for care and where providers can work towards paying staff at least the living wage.

“As a country we are surely judged by the way we treat our older people and the way we reward those people who do the extremely demanding task of looking after them,” added Mike.

“A properly-funded social care system is not just something that is desirable but it is something that the country has a right to expect. But whichever government comes to power after May 7, they will have to realise that if they want better care, for all those who need it, they will have to pay for it.

“It is nonsense to boost funding to the NHS and not automatically do it for social care at the same time.

“Surely we have learned by now that the NHS will work better with a properlyfunded social care system which cares for people in care homes or their own homes and not in costly hospital beds.

“Social care makes a huge contribution to the safety and welfare of older and vulnerable adults and a major contribution to the economy too. We want people to be asking would-be MPs when they knock on their doors ‘what do you intend to do about social care?’.”

Adult social care employs more than 1.5m people in England, which is more than the 1.35m who work in the NHS. It also contributes more than £20bn directly in to the economy – more than the production and distribution of electricity and gas (£16 billion).

Mike has met with Business Secretary Vince Cable and with Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb to press the case for better support for social care.

“With greater support, the sector will grow, people will get the care they need and that economic contribution will increase too,” Mr Padgham added. “As a country, for whatever reason, we cannot let the way we look after older and vulnerable adults continue in the way that it has.”

Lifeguard training at Scarborough’s North Bay Editor’s comment

By Pete Spence

I WAS amazed to be walking along the North Bay recently in Scarborough when I saw some rather sinister looking action taking place both in the sea and on the beach.

As I got closer and zoomed in with my camera I could work out they were not surfers as they were literally picking each other up and carrying one another to shore, before performing first aid maneuvers.

I was tempted to go and question them on their activity but after walking further along I saw a notice which said Lifeguard Training.

People were stopping and staring at this site which when captured on camera looked quite unique.

Help cover the costs of vandal attack on local cricket club Words & photo by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Angry Cayton Cricket Club members from left, Trevor Davies, Josh Brown, Brian Haywood and Bob Cowton standing behind one of the slashed covers

A LOCAL cricket club has been left both shocked and saddened after it seems their covers were slashed by vandals.

Damage was done to two covers belonging to Cayton Cricket Club at the their ground at Station Road in the village, somewhere between April 14 and 18.

And the Scarborough Review is making an appeal on behalf of the club to anyone who can help them with the costs of replacing the covers as the club heads into a brand new season.

Club stalwart Bob Cowton said: “I am shocked at this and everyone at the club feel very sad and angry that anyone would

want to do this.

“We have had windows broken at the club house before over the years, but in the 50 years I have been here, I have never witnessed an attack of vandalism like this.

It seems completely pointless and has left the club in a bit of a pickle right at the start of the season.”

If you can help the club out then the Scarborough Review will be happy to photograph you with club members once the new covers are repaired or replaced. n Please email: pete@thescarboroughreview. co.uk or call 01723 355797. You can also contact club groundsman Steve McAleese on 07981645870 if you want to help.

A total of nearly £23,571 was raised last year through donations and fundraising events in Scarborough and District to help the work of the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.

This is a fantastic result and I would like to say a very big thank you to the people of the Scarborough area for all their donations, and to all those who helped with events and collections.

All the money raised will go towards helping people affected by cancer.

We are continuing our fundraising support this year with stalls at the Filey Town Festival and Scarborough Fair, along with collections at local supermarkets and the huge Coffee Morning which will be held at the Grand Hotel on Wednesday September 23.

and answer session.

Your account of how the Scarborough Review came into fruition was of particular interest to all and I’m sure you were left in no doubt as to its welcome addition to the local media.

The excellent quality of your newspaper and its content, together with the encouraging response that has lead to an increased circulation and expanse of outlets, were amongst the topics of conversation inspired by your talk.

Thanks again and best wishes for the future of the Review.

Kind regards

Dear Editor

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the coverage you gave our church jumble sale in your last edition.

There is a group of people working very hard to save the church and coverage such as yours is a big help and support.

On Saturday June 13, we have what we hope will be another popular event.

A Family Folk Afternoon at the church will feature a children’s fancy dress, duck race, tombola, water games and much more.

We hope as many people as possible can come and join in the fun which starts at 2.30pm.

Kind regards

Dear Editor My name is Lisa Johnson and I am the Owner of the Unique Cake Boutique on Market Way. We recently did a fundraiser for the children’s ward in memory of a young man called Stephen Goodwill who died in March .

Stephen had Cerebral Palsy. I had known Stephen and his family since he was born so it was a very upsetting time for everyone involved . We managed to raise £288 during the two weeks the fundraiser was running from the sale of £1 raffle tickets and we are going to be presenting sensory equipment and toys to the children’s ward along with Stephen’s family.

We will also be nominating a charity of the year and opening a Just Giving page in memory of Stephen and raising money through The Unique Cake Boutique Shop and various other events through out the year .

Thank you.

Pete Firman, formerly a Theatre and Performance student at the University of Hull, Scarborough Campus, retuned to Scarborough to perform his unique show which combines classic magic tricks and comedy at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, as part of their 60th Anniversary.

His performance took place in the McCarthy theatre and was a sell out to a range of both older and younger audience members. The show was set in two parts, first being his performance then after the interval he returned to the stage for Questions and Answers.

His performance was full of audience interaction when doing his magic tricks, and at times involved the idea of fear and danger. At one point in the show my partner got asked to go onto the stage and help with some of his tricks, and then before I know it he had a sword through his throat!

This was the second time I have seen Firman and yet again it was a great show and very funny! I’m not a big fan of magic and magicians but would highly recommend you going to see him just to

witness his amazing act.

Pete is still on tour this year, and will be attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival again in August, which will be his 9th attendance. To view his tour dates visit: www.petefirman.co.uk.

Crime-writing queen caps book festival Words and photo by Dave Barry QUEEN of crime-writing Val McDermid brought the second Books by the Beach festival to a triumphant close at Scarborough library.

The self-deprecating Scottish author spoke humorously and candidly about her life and career.

She revealed that she had nearly finished the ninth novel featuring psychologist Tony Hill, entitled Splinter

of the Silence.

Heather French, who jointly organised the event with Peter Gutteridge, said: “Books by the Beach is much more than just a book festival.

This year it featured a heady mix of top authors, broadcasters, historians, two literary lunches, a guided cemetery walk, a Poirot dinner in the town hall and two chilling Jack the Ripper events in the prison.

“Peter and I were amazed at the response from enthusiastic audiences to a fabulous variety of authors, and it was such a lot of fun”.

Asked to choose personal favourites, Heather said Omid Djalili, in the Spa Theatre, had provided “the perfect end to a perfect day. My cheeks ached with laughing at his warm and sensitive humour.

“And Mary Portas was full of fun,” Heather said. “She spoke about her memoir with heartfelt emotion and welled up at one point.

“But there was a lot of laughter too and she had the audience in the palm of her hand for a full hour at the library.”

Besides McDermid, Djalili and Portas, other arty luminaries who took part included Barry Norman, Simon Heffer, Alan Johnson and Ann Widdecombe.

Volunteer Carol Wilkey on her stall said: “To say it was our first event, it went brilliantly, and we were delighted with the response.

“To raise over £400 for the group was fantastic and it is thanks to the kind generosity of the people who donated prizes for the raffles and had stalls at the event.

We have to thank Sainsbury’s for their generous donations and also give a big thanks to the Hatton School of Performing Arts and PCSO’s Barrie Dolan and Nick Gilbert for giving up their time.

seen again off Scarborough in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for these fantastic animals.”

The bottlenose is the dolphin species regularly seen on television, recognised by its tall, central, sickle-shaped dorsal fin.

It has a dark grey back and is a lighter grey underneath, and has a robust beak.

“Adult bottlenose are big dolphins, typically four metres long,” Stuart said.

They should not be confused with harbour porpoises, which can be seen off Marine Drive all year round, and which are about 1.4m long - much smaller than the bottlenose dolphin. n 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.

SCARBOROUGH is enjoying flurries of unusual visitors to its coast.

Pods of bottlenose dolphins have been seen swimming, jumping and breaching off Marine Drive and in the South Bay, on several days over recent weeks.

The biggest pod consisted of 18 dolphions, recorded by Stuart Baines, an assistant regional coordinator for the Sea Watch Foundation in Yorkshire.

Stuart said: “There is a resident population of bottlenose dolphin off Scotland’s north-east coast in spring and early summer and some have visited the north-east coast of England.

“They were seen off Scarborough three times in three weeks,” said Stuart, who lives in Scarborough. “There is a very good chance that these dolphins will be

David still stealing the show after almost 30 years

14 - Scarborough Review, May - Issue 21

DAVID Nicholson is a familiar face to many in Scarborough, having performed in stage shows for nearly 30 years.

The 39-year-old spoke to Pete Spence about his life on and off stage.

David has been appearing on Scarborough’s stages since the age of 10. He recalls his first performance was David Nicholson in a gang show with the Cubs at the Royal Opera House, which is sadly no more. He said: “I did a couple of shows there and then it shut down – hopefully it was nothing to do with me!”

Perhaps surprisingly, David did not opt to take drama and performing arts at school, instead choosing art. The former Northstead and Scalby School pupil concentrated on drawing and painting in class which led to him also being able to paint the scenery for the shows he was in and he developed his love of performing out of school, at Scarborough Youth Theatre.

The group gave performances at the former Theatre in the Round, now Westwood College and the YMCA. He then went on to join local amateur operatic groups, drama groups and comedy teams, performing at the Futurist, Spa theatre, Bridlington, Whitby and many more, whilst being a constant member of YMCA Productions. One of many highlights for David was performing in Kay Carmen’s shows where he played the Roy Castle role alongside Jim Casey and Eli Woods in the classic ‘Animals in the Box’ comedy routine.

After working there as a volunteer he was taken on as productions coordinator in 1998. He said: “I was able to do all aspects of theatre work every day, and through

experience I ventured into the more professional side of it.” Since then David has appeared in countless shows in a number of guises including actor, singer, comedian and compere. “The best thing is hearing an audience laugh – I can’t describe it. Sometimes you can just walk onstage and they’ll laugh, but other times it seems like walking into outpatients!”

David has also dipped his toe into the world of television and film with walk-on parts in Heartbeat, Kavanagh QC and Little Voice, which starred Jane Horrocks and Ewan McGregor. The theatre has also played a big part in David’s personal life – it’s where he met his wife Kerry, The pair became a couple while working on “Crazy for You” in 1997 and were married at Scarborough Register Office in 2006.

Along with Kerry’s sister Jodi, the husband and wife team now run the successful performance community ‘Twilight Productions’. He said “It’s actually a good job we do work together otherwise we’d be like ships that pass in the night!” David also works as a professional solo entertainer in a variety of venues across the country, performing in hotels, weddings, corporate functions, dinner dances etc., so spare time is a rarity.

He adds that as well as performing together, the husband and wife team love helping youngsters train in classes and rehearse for shows. “The power of performing arts is underestimated as you can see the life skills that youngsters develop, as well as growing in confidence and self-esteem, their families become involved socially, the list of positives just goes on and on.”

Looking towards the future, David is very happy doing what he does and just wants to see people get the same impact on their lives as he and so many others have enjoyed from performing arts. To do this they plan to expand Twilight Productions, but they have a major obstacle to overcome first.

Twilight Productions need a new home in the town centre as their current lease of rooms based in the YMCA expires in September this year. “With classes expanding all the time and so many new ideas, we really need a good size building to develop into a performance community centre.” “We work with disabled groups and are involved in several community projects already, including Gallows Close Centre, so we really think it would be a fantastic, positive investment for the whole town – we just hope we can find one in time and not have to close our doors.”

Hospice celebrations get off to a flying start

By Krystal Starkey CELEBRATIONS to mark 30 years of care from Saint Catherine’s Hospice got off to a flying start with a sell-out 80s party.

More than 200 guests arrived in fancy dress for the party at the Scarborough Fair Collection at the Flower of May, Lebberston.

The event helped Saint Catherine’s raise £4,000 for patient care.

One of the organisers, hospice fundraiser Louise Gravestock, said she wanted to thank Paddy Billington

for being the host and DJ; the Julie Hatton dancers; and the Scarborough Fair Collection for their help with the event.

“We also want to thank everyone who came along and helped to make it such a fun night,” she said.

Yorkshire Coast club set to reach new heights with top grant

probably loses out due to the complexities of the processes in making an application, we decided we would just give it a go.

“The first application to Sport England failed on some key metrics and lack of detail, but after some helpful guidance from our case officer, a further re-submission produced a result.

“The grant allows us to purchase three complete sets of operational flight training equipment and a set of spares.

We are engaging the services of a web developer to design and improve our web presence with a members area and diary system for events and flying invitations.”

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk YORKSHIRE Coast Model Flyers is flying high after they were awarded over £4000 by Sport England.

The grant will help take the club to the next level and their rise to fruition has been a quick one.

Club secretary Iain Hale said: “The acquisition of the grant is fantastic news for us and a lot of hard work went into it.

“As a small club at the time of initiating we were relying on members using their own radio equipment, and other resources. We had all made a donation to provide some start-up funding, but no way was this going to extend to purchasing the kit we really required.

“During a chance conversation at a flying event about funding in general and how our branch of this sport

The club are all set for their Spring sessions at Oliver’s Mount and Driffield Showground and they have come a long way in a short time since their meeting in the summer of 2014.

Iain added: “Our long term strategy is to purchase a flying site, in the meantime and with the support of North Yorkshire County Councillor David Jeffels, we gave a flying demonstration to Scarborough Borough Council Planning Manager Nick Read and Estates Manager Andrew Williams on Oliver’s Mount in Scarborough during October last year.

Working with youngsters who are interested in flying model aircraft is also important to the club.

Iain said: “We contacted several local youth organisation who expressed interest in our project and following a couple of presentations to explain who we are and what the project offered, supported by the BMFA ‘s achievement award schemes, Scarborough Air Training Cadets Squadron were keen to engage with us. A series of fortnightly workshops have been planned over a three month period to assemble three trainer aircraft. During this summer the 18 cadets will be given the opportunity to fly these aircraft under the supervision of club instructors.” n For more information on YCMF please look for them on Facebook, visit their website: www.yorkshirecoastmodelflyers.org or call secretary Iain Hale on 07907595650 or chairman John Hill on 07708727322.

“Their response was extremely positive with no objections to the club being granted permission to fly there subject to certain conditions.

“Having toilet facilities on the site meant we could launch our other main objective to be all inclusive in attracting a wider audience to come and try our sport.

Thus YCMF Flying For ALL project was born. As the site also has secure vehicle access those with limited mobility can be accommodated safely on the site too.”

By Krystal Starkey TODD GERMAN watched two Humboldt chicks he had lovingly hand-reared finally be introduced to a flock.

WITH the Easter holidays behind us, I was reflecting on the trips we ran, and in particular a fossil hunt to Cayton Bay. The trip was a great success, even the weather was good and lots of people found lots of interesting rocks and fossils. But perhaps the most striking thing about the items they found was how many were not originally from the Yorkshire Coast at all. These glacial erratics are part of the evidence left behind by the ice sheets that once covered great swathes of our landscape, and only retreated about 10,000 years ago.

The 30-year-old senior aquarist at Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuary became surrogate dad to baby Humboldt penguins Rico and Skipper when they were just days old after being rejected by their parents.

Todd even took them home with him so he could give them their last feed at 10pm.

Now fully fledged, they have joined 18 full-grown Humboldt’s in the Sanctuary’s new ‘Penguin Island’ enclosure…and to Todd’s great relief the older birds have given them a warm reception.

These ice sheets had their origins in Scotland, Scandinavia and many parts of Northern England, and they carried with them rocks from those parts of the world. Then, when the ice melted, not only did it leave behind the soft boulder clay that covers much of our coastline, but also rocks and fossils from these far away regions. This means that at places like Cayton Bay where the boulder clay (or glacial till) is exposed to erosion you can find lumps of Shap Granite from Cumbria, bits of Carboniferous limestone from the Yorkshire Dales, quartz from northern Scotland and pieces of rock formed millions of years ago in Norwegian volcanoes.

“I was thrilled to be given the chance to bring up Rico and Skipper,” said self-confessed bird nut Todd.

Sanctuary boss, Richard Dilly said: “Having been hand-reared

by Todd, Rico and Skipper have no fear of humans and are likely to give our visitors some incredible close encounters.”

Foster dad Todd with his two babies

The glacial erratics are found along all of our coastline, alongside rocks and fossils from the local cliffs, leading to a huge

range of material that can be found. This is further added to by other manmade objects, including bricks, water worn glass and concrete. All this variety adds to the sense of excitement when geologising on the coastline, although I have been known to start sounding like a stuck record, repeating the phrases ‘Norwegian volcanic’ or ‘Scottish quartz’ to many excited children hoping they have found a rare gemstone! n If you are out and about on the coast then why not have a look at our top-ten fossil hunting tips at www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk or join one of our walks to find not just fossils but rocks as old as two billion years, that are certainly not local.

Plenty of family fun in the woods Church choir seeks new accompanist Words and photos by Dave Barry

ABOUT 300 people had a lot of fun at a free family event in Raincliffe woods, Scarborough.

The air was full of the sounds and smells of spring, with birds chirping and the woods permeated by a strong scent of garlic.

This pungent scent was soon followed by the aroma of food being cooked on a large barbecue.

Vehicles filled the carparks and overflowed onto the road as adults and children followed purple ribbons which had been tied to trees to show the way.

Fabio Mcnab-Deidda has his face painted.

At one of the entrances to the big meadow where most activities were staged, they paused to watch James Rush and colleagues use chainsaws to carve toadstools and big wooden birds.

In the meadow, youngsters made fairy and wizard wands, followed nature trails, painted dough craft, competed in relay races and formed a woodland orchestra at a musical centrepiece under a big old tree.

Later, folk music was played by adults.

A face painting stall, sheltered Fun in the woods. under a gazebo, was busy throughout the afternoon, with long queues.

Whizzoo Birds ran a display of birds of prey including vultures - as a buzzard circled overhead.

Organisers Cora Marshall-Kemmett, Juliette Mcnab, Carina Pelucci and Cathleen Taylor-Marshall of Scarborough Conservation Volunteers (SCV) thanked the many volunteers who gave up their time and energy and threw themselves into every aspect of the event.

“Here was an example of true community spirit at work, with bystanders mucking in,” said Carina.

Visitors loved it, many offering positive comments. “It’s good old-fashioned fun,” said one.

“My kids didn’t want to leave,” said another. “It was great and we can’t wait for the next time”.

Carina added: “For events like this to continue, we rely on the tireless work of SCV who maintain the Meadow so everyone can enjoy what the outdoors has to offer”.

SITS vac: pianist / accompanist needed for the area’s largest church choir. No pay. Remuneration: the fun and satisfaction of playing with a big group of friendly, talented people.

The job-spec could have been issued by Scarborough Celebration Singers, whose accompanist for several years, Helen Penny, is retiring.

The 30-voice choir is also losing its musical director, Ian Williams, but he has already been replaced, by Alison Wiles.

Ian was one of several members of the late Leslie Sturdy’s Queen Street Gala Choir who came together in 2003, after it folded.

Over the years, new recruits were drawn from other choirs and the church where it rehearses on Thursday evenings - Emmanuel St John on St John’s Road, off Falsgrave.

The choir sings at Methodist churches, festivals and concerts, such as one at St Colomba’s with opera singer Christopher Thornton Holmes, who has sung at La Scala in Milan. The next concert, in July, is in aid of Feed the Minds.

The choir, who have sung at three weddings and four funerals, perform traditional Victorian anthems, contemporary worship songs, musical theatre and pieces composed by Ian, piano teacher Carol Rose and former accompanist Vivienne England.

“The choir is democratic and independent,” says spokesman John Hazlewood. “We own all our music and have a large repertoire, much of which had not been heard before”. n Anyone interested in becoming the choir’s new accompanist should ring secretary Joyce I’Anson on 360519.

May is for Magnolias

Magnolia stellata IT’S impossible not to fall in love with beautiful Magnolias. They can be showy and elegant when grown in the right spot and May is the perfect month for spotting the finest of specimens flowering right now.

On the whole they are not difficult to grow so long as you have a bit of patience, deep soil for a good root run and plenty of moisture but not waterlogged ground.

Now is a good time to plant while the soil is still moist and it has warmed up nicely. Pay attention to watering until your plant has got its feet down and it will pay you dividends in years to come. A good mulch will also help to seal in that moisture and stop your plant from getting stressed!

The muck and magic gardeners often hear people saying that their garden isn’t big enough for a magnolia or that they don’t want to wait a long time to see flowers forming. The answer may

be to try the soulangeana varieties which are relatively quick to flower and won’t outgrow the garden however small it may be. Alternatively, Magnolia stellata is always a sure fire winner as it tends to grow to the size of a large shrub rather than a tree and has branches smothered in star shaped clear white or rose pink blossoms.

Most magnolias will prefer a slightly neutral to acid soil and don’t mind a bit of shade or full sun.

However, they do like a bit of protection from the wind! If you can grow rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas then you will find that magnolias are happy in your garden.

The most important aspect of growing any of these trees and shrubs is to look after the watering. They all produce flower buds very early in the season and, generally, lack of water is the reason why your plants fail to flower. This is especially so with camellias. So plenty of water at the roots in autumn is the key to successful growing. And if you really haven’t got the space for the magnolia of your choice then the next best thing is to plan a visit to one or more of the great gardens of Britain where you can see these magnificent trees in all their glory. The gardens of Caerhayes or Trewithin in Cornwall would be a good place to head to or you could plan a shorter hop to the edge of Snowdonia in North Wales to visit the beautiful gardens at Bodnant which houses the national collection.

Prepare to be astounded!

Happy gardening!

Scarborough DAG works hard to raise funds

By Krystal Starkey FUNDRAISERS for one of Scarborough’s oldest charities, Scarborough Disablement Action Group, are working hard this month to raise funds.

They are appealing to Borough’s people for unwanted gifts and items for its upcoming spring fair on May 31 as well as asking for people’s old biscuit wrappers too.

Scarborough DAG receives a small amount for helping the environment by using the biscuit wrappers that can’t be recycled and would end up in landfill.

Speaking about the fair, Ian Whitfield, chair of Scarborough DAG, said: “We’re in need of good quality items to use at our fair.

So if you have any unwanted gift sets, bottles of non-alcoholic or alcoholic drinks, chocolates, Tombola, raffle prizes or bric-a-brac you are willing to donate, please contact us on 01723 480029 to discuss.” n Entry is free to the fair, but donations are welcome with all proceeds going toward the running costs of the charity to help the vital service.

Top awards night highlights YH Training’s success

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk YH Training Services of Scarborough stepped up the style at their annual awards evening held at the Crown Spa Hotel.

Awards were handed out to over 80 people who had completed apprenticeships and other qualifications with YH in the last year.

In attendance was Mayor of Scarborough Cllr Pat Marsburg and Mayoress Hilary Groves.

YH Training Managing Director Frank McMahon said: “It was a great pleasure to present awards and it is very pleasing to see increasing numbers of young people and adults achieving qualifications that help them secure employment and develop their careers.

“We are particularly pleased that in the course of the last year we have increased our numbers of apprenticeships by over 30% through building up excellent relationships with businesses and helping them recruit apprentices and up-skill their present staff, which is improving their business performance.

“Apprenticeships are available to young people looking to start their working career but also to those already in work who want to gain qualifications to help them develop and progress their career.”

university Campus Scarborough opens its doors UNIVERSITY Campus Scarborough, a partnership between the University of Hull and Hull College Group, will be hosting monthly open day events from May 2015.

The events are a chance for potential students to have a look at the Filey Road facilities, chat to tutors and find out about the courses on offer.

Education Destination Scarborough!

leadership, business, engineering, health and social care and teacher training.

The courses are aimed at professionals wanting to gain the next step up the ladder; people who want to gain an extra qualification whilst working and juggling family commitments or those who have not been in formal education for a number of years.

Students can also opt for a Foundation degree in Health and Social Care for entry in September 2015. Foundation degrees are work related courses that provide a

stepping stone to a full BA Honours degree. They are taught on one day a week, over two years. After the two years, students can then take a further top-up year to gain the BA Honours award.

Students looking for degree programmes and other courses starting in September 2016, will shortly be able to access a further prospectus of new courses. Under the new strategic partnership, the degree programmes will be delivered by Hull College Group and validated by the University of Hull.

SCARBOROUGH is set to play host to a series of brand new, unique day schools. The WEA have chosen the town as the venue for six one-off ‘study’ days, all themed locally and with expert tutors at the helm.

Local WEA Organiser Steven Blockley said: ‘We’re delighted to be working closely with Woodend to bring this series to Scarborough. It’s a chance for students to gain real insight into a range of subjects which are intimately connected to this area, taught by a mix of local experts and regional subject specialists whom we’ve managed to tempt over. They are one-offs with limited places, so I would advise booking early.’

The events are as follows: May 9, Discover Medieval Scarborough: Origins, archaeology and evidence.

May 16, Yorkshire Coast at the movies. From Bela Lugosi to today.

May 26, David Hockney: Rediscovering Yorkshire.

June 13, Staithes Artists Colony: Artists, Fisherfolk and Inspiration.

Events begin at 10am and finish at 4pm with an hour break for lunch (not provided). Most day schools will be held in Sitwell library at Woodend, and outdoor events will require a reasonable level of fitness. n More information and enrolment is available at enrolonline.wea.org.uk or by calling 0113 245 3304.

WEA courses are free to students in receipt of meanstested benefits such as Working Tax Credit.

• EXAM AND REVISIoN TIPS • EXAM AND REVISIoN TIPS • EXAM AND REVISIoN TIPS •

By Krystal Starkey STUDENTS in Scarborough and across the UK will be in the midst of revision this month, and late comers may be just starting. When it comes to revision preparation is key. We’ve collated some helpful hints and tips to help get you through the tough weeks ahead.

STarT earLY

Although there are still the odd students who swear by cramming shortly before an exam, there’s no substitute for calm and planned revision. You want to be starting weeks or months, not days before your exam.

FOCUS ON WhaT’S IMPOrTaNT

There’s usually a specification for what candidates need to know for exams, it’s best to base your revision on this as opposed to

the whole curriculum where you may not be tested on certain parts.

USe LOTS OF reSOUrCeS

Don’t just stick to one method of revising.

Methods such as post it notes around the house, cue cards, timelines, mind maps, past papers and online tests are all effective ways to revise.

STOCK UP

People often look for distractions when revising such as being hungry or needing a drink. You can pre-empt this by grabbing snacks before you start revising.

TaKe BreaKS

Breaks are still important as you can lose focus and get tired; it’s recommended that you should take short 10 minute breaks every hour.

SIT aT a PrOPer DeSK

Sitting in front of a TV or on your bed isn’t ideal; you put yourself at risk of sitting and watching TV or falling asleep. Ideally you want to be at a desk or table, somewhere quiet. If you’re a music fan, it’s best to have music without lyrics to distract you.

DON’T STarT a NeW rOUTINe COMING UP TO eXaMS

Starting a new exercise routine or diet only directs your will power in other places; stay focused and remember to eat lots of fruit and veg!

haVe FUN

Remember it’s not illegal to take a little time out coming up to exams, do something fun and relax. It’ll make you feel more refreshed for your next session.

CraM aT The eND

Having a few cramming sessions on the days running up to the exams could help you retain important information. This is recommended on top of your pre planned revision.

eXaM DaY!

Get up a little earlier than usual so you don’t need to rush.

CheCK VeNUe aND TIMe OF eXaM. •Have a balanced breakfast.

• Check you have everything you need before you leave home.

• Steer clear of people who are panicky, you don’t need any added stress.

• Take your time reading questions and make sure you understand them before you start writing.

The Radio Scarborough team outside their new home at The Street

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE town’s Lottery funded community radio station has just completed their move to The Street, a multi-million pound community and youth centre just off Dean Road.

Station director Jerry Scott said: “The move has been a great success and being in such a high-tech building really suits our digital online broadcasts.

“The station has proved a hit because our presenters have lived here all of their lives and that connection with the listener really means so much.”

The station has around 16 regular volunteer presenters and producers of all ages who offer a unique mix of music

programmes featuring local information and guests from where we live.

Radio Scarborough is a not for profit company providing via the Internet a true community radio service to the town and beyond and its popularity is growing by the day.

Jerry added: “1000s of people read our posts every week on Facebook and it’s heartening to us all that people have taken us on board. The future is very exciting.”

A big hit again has been the station’s interest in sport and this is an area they are looking to expand above their coverage of Scarborough Athletic, Scarborough Rugby Union and now league clubs, by including your sport and team every Saturday all year long. Contact ant@radioscarborough.co.uk with

Station Director Jerry Scott in his Radio Scarborough car sponsored by Cliff Garage Scarborough information about your club and they will feature you on The Twelfth Man Sports Show every Saturday.

The station has an application pending with radio regulator Ofcom for a 10 month trial licence to broadcast on DAB digital radio and they hope to hear the outcome very soon.

Currently online only, you can listen in various ways: via an App available free in the Android Play Store, with an Apple App Store version coming soon, or you can listen via TuneIn.com on any connected device including Tablets, Laptops, PC’s, Smart TVs, Game Consoles etc, but via your smartphone is the simplest. n The full programme schedule and a simple way to donate is at www.radioscarborough.co.uk

North Yorkshire brewery celebrates cruise ship listing

By Krystal Starkey HUNMANBY-BASED Wold Top Brewery has secured a contract to supply its Blonde, continental style beer, Wold Gold, for the Great British Beer Menu on P&O Cruises newest cruise ship.

In addition to representing Yorkshire in The Great British Beer Menu in Brodie’s pub which comprises 70 different bottled beers, ales and ciders from 56 UK

counties, Wold Gold also features on the ‘beer flight’ tasting menu alongside Acorn Brewery’ s Yorkshire Pride and Timothy Taylor’s Landlord.

Brewery Director Gill Mellor said: “This is our first listing on a cruise ship and we’re thrilled that it is such a prestigious vessel.

It’s a great honour to be the only North Yorkshire brewery on board.”

Scarborough Brewery raises a toast to Tour de Yorkshire

James (left) and Joseph Soden of the Scarborough Brewery, with Slipstream, a pale ale they have created to mark the Tour de Yorkshire A TEAM of young entrepreneurs has created a special beer to celebrate the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire, which finishes on Scarborough’s spectacular North Bay. Micro brewery Scarborough Brewery, which is run by managing director James Soden (26), his brother, head brewer Joseph (24), senior manager Dominic Brining (27) and assistant brewer Jake Harrison (22), has created Slipstream to mark the ending of Stage 1 of the race on the Royal Albert Drive next Friday afternoon. Beer-lovers can try it at various pubs and bars around the town.

Slipstream is a 3.8% light golden pale ale, and comes in a bottle labeled with the Tour’s blue and yellow branding and images of cycles.

James Soden says: “The Tour de Yorkshire is a huge event for the region, and we wanted to mark it in the best way we know how – with a beer! We developed it to celebrate the race, but we’ll continue to brew it for as long as people want it.”

Slipstream will be the star beer at the Brewery’s regular monthly beer festival, held at its premises at Barrie’s Lane.

Usually a one-day event on the last Saturday of the month, April’s event was postponed and will be a two-day event to celebrate the Tour on Saturday 2 May (3pm till late) and Sunday 3 May (1pm till late). Local bands including The SubGents and The Vasolators will play live over the weekend.

And the beer is already selling well in Scarborough, where it’s available

at various local bars and restaurants, including The Crown Hotel, Lazenby’s on York Place, The Barn Bistro on Coastal Road, and the Soden-family-owned Valley Bar. It’s also available from various shops and bars in York, and can be bought directly from the Scarborough Brewery website.

Slipstream joins Scarborough Brewery’s current portfolio of beers including Falling Foss, Stout, Scalby Beck, Old Sailor, Sealord, Chinook, Blonde, Cascades and Citra, which recently beat over 50 rivals, including beers from big-name breweries, to take the silver medal in the blind-tastetested Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) North East Region bottled bitters up to 4.9% category.

Based at Barrie’s Lane, Scarborough

Brewery is looking to expand, and will shortly be seeking at least two more members of staff.

Janet Deacon, Welcome to Yorkshire’s area director for North Yorkshire, said: “It’s fantastic to see small independent businesses like Scarborough Brewery really getting into the spirit of the Tour de Yorkshire.”

The three-stage race will feature international names such as Sir Bradley Wiggins and Marcel Kittel, who won last year’s hugely successful Grand Départ stage of the Tour de France in the county. n For more information on the Scarborough Brewery visit: scarboroughbrewery.co.uk

He added: “Experience is invaluable and I have plenty of it. I want to offer the best service I possibly can and make sure all my customers are left thoroughly satisfied with the work.

“I will take time and care over whatever work I do and promise that I will always offer a first class service.

“It is slightly daunting going into

business on my own but at the same time I am excited. I would like to thank all family and friends who have supported me and I am just looking forward to getting out there and doing the very best I can.” n Call Gareth on 01904 611857 or 07871 427022.

Charity launches £20,000 emergency fundraising appeal

Part of the SWR Mind team. L-R, front: Claire Rodway, Lynn Trotter and Colin Campbell. Back: Philip Hemingway and Linda Legg (to order this photo, ring 353597).

Words and photo by Dave Barry A CHARITY that gives life-saving help to almost 1,000 people with mental-health problems across the Yorkshire coast has launched a £20,000 fundraising campaign to save it from closure.

Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Mind, established in 1962, has a team of 20 staff helped by dozens of volunteers.

They run nine projects including a daytime telephone helpline, drop-in groups,

one-to-one social support and help with finances and housing.

As part of a joint project with the Cambridge Centre, the charity also works alongside nursing staff in Scarborough Hospital’s A&E unit with people who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

Although SWR Mind is affiliated to the national Mind charity, it has to raise its own funds and does not receive any of the money generated from donations made to Mind’s charity shops across the country.

Famous cottage is rethatched Words and photo by Dave Barry

THE famous thatched cottage in Thornton-le-Dale is getting a new roof.

The pretty building, depicted on biscuit tins, calendars, jigsaws and chocolate boxes around the world, was in need of a fresh thatch.

Craftsmen have been working on the 17th century Beck Isle Cottage since Easter, providing a fascinating spectacle for countless locals and visitors.

It is a grade-two listed building, on English Heritage’s statutory list of

buildings of special architectural or historic interest. The UK has around a half-million listed buildings.

Built in the 17th century with a cruck frame and thatched roof, it stands on the banks of Thornton beck and is one of the most photographed homes in the country, helping to attract thousands of tourists.

The rethatch is being carried out

by Bedfordshire specialists Smart Thatcher.

The firm’s website states that it uses water reed, combed wheat reed and long straw.

So far, the Save SWR Mind campaign has raised £8,000 in donations from housing provider Yorkshire Coast Homes, the mayoress’s community fund and its own Just Giving page.

The charity is making a desperate appeal to residents, businesses and other organisations to help hit its £20,000 target by the end of May. Otherwise, SWR Mind will have to axe its projects and staff, leaving the people who use its services unsupported at a time when NHS-funded mental-health services are at breaking point due to cutbacks.

Duncan Webster, who chairs SWR Mind’s board of trustees said: “It would be catastrophic for people who use our services and the local community if we were to close.

“In these times of austerity, more people are coming to SWR Mind in crisis, desperate for support, as other services are cut.

“Around 40,000 people – that’s one in four people living in Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale - will experience mentalhealth difficulties at some time in their lives,” Mr Webster said.

“Mental health can affect so many of us at some time in our lives, often leaving people isolated and unheard. Please support us and ensure that people you

know and love do not have to endure mental ill health alone.

“We want to continue supporting people across the region to achieve their goals and live the life that they want. Please donate as much as you can.”

Once the immediate funding crisis is resolved, SWR Mind is hoping to secure a total of £80,000 from donations, grant applications and money from other funding partners to secure the longer term future of the charity.

SWR Mind is the only charity in the area to take urgent referrals from other services for people suffering from illnesses including anxiety, depression and life-long illnesses such as schizophrenia, and those experiencing psychosis or battling an eating disorder.

People can donate to the appeal in several ways:

THE café and arts centre at St James’s Church in Scarborough have launched a project to encourage friendship and conversation in the local community.

Cockleshells café manager Ashley Simpson explains: “We’ve wanted to reach out to the wider community for such a long time and now, thanks to Voice Your Choice funding, we are beginning to do this.”

The Bridge, as the project is called, promises “good conversation, food and company” on Fridays, from 12.15pm.

Most people just like to have a chat but others will be welcome to take part in a range of activities and generally have a bit of fun.

Ashley says: “We serve a hot meal and pudding with a friendly face.

“It would be great if people would come along and bring somebody with them.”

The dishes on the interesting and varied menu are nutritional and healthy, and cooked by Ashley, who has worked as a healthy-eating advisor for the NHS. “It’s gone well so far,” enthuses Ashley, “and we hope it will continue to grow”.

Tracy Marney and Iain Robinson with the keys to the brand new beach chalets

The kitchen inside is very smart

The stylish new two-floor chalets

Brand new beach chalets to be a summer hit!

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH’S North Bay is looking sizzling for the summer with the introduction of brand new two-floor chalets.

It is the first ever time that chalets with two floors have been seen in the town and they are all set to be snapped up quickly.

Tracy Marney, who manages the chalets, owned by Ryedale Estates, said: “The two new blocks replaced those damaged in the storms a couple of years ago.

“We could have left them unusable but have invested £300,000 to build new and improved chalets as replacements. That brings our investment to over £1 million over the last few years.

Newby & Scalby in Bloom have a spring in their step

“The new ones have upgraded facilities, including a fully fitted kitchen with oven, hob, fridge and microwave, dining table and chairs and all cooking equipment, crockery and cutlery.

“To have two floors is a bit of a novelty thing and very rare, so I imagine they will be hugely popular, and they look fantastic.”

There is now an on-site management office in one of the chalets to improve accessibility and customer service.

The vast majority of the chalets are owned by Ryedale Estates and will remain so.

Chalets are available to let on a daily, weekly, seasonal and annual basis.

The chalets are well used by local people as well as people from the Yorkshire region and visitors from all

over the UK Tracy added: “Our aim is to provide a premier service and do our part in making Scarborough an attractive and popular holiday resort.

“It is exciting to be part of what has already caused a real stir with locals and tourists alike and we can’t wait for the summer season.”

Iain Robinson, director of Ekorex Homes Limited added: “I have been working on the chalets for some time and they really have come on.

“They fit so well with Scarborough as they are bright and vibrant and I am sure they have added something extra to the north side of the seaside town.” n For more details or to book a chalet please call 01723 367659 or visit www.scarboroughbeachchalets.com

The boat race last year.

Dragon Boat Race celebrates fifth birthday

By Krystal Starkey THE DRAGON Boat race, now in its fifth year, will be taking place at Wykham Lakes on June 7. The family fun day aims to raise vital funds for charities of the boat team’s choices.

The organiser, Peter Howgate, says that they are still open to more entrants and are encouraging teams to participate and companies to sponsor the teams for a worthy cause.

Each team consists of 17 people and will participate in three heats. Provided the

weather is good the races will take place from 10am until 3.30pm.

Everyone is invited to come and cheer on the teams where there will be catering from Scalby Fair BBQ-ists, Nabs Nosh, Crêpes from Judi & Chris, Harbour Bar ice cream van and a bar too.

Dogs are allowed provided they are kept on leads and there are car parking facilities a 10 minute walk away from the site. n To participate or find out more call 01723 859843 or email peter@peterhowgate.com

YOUNG children have boosted wildlife habitats in Falsgrave Park by building bird and bat boxes.

The park’s Friends group invited local youngsters to a workshop at Manor Road nurseries.

“They loved it,” says Dorothy Russell, who chairs the Friends of Falsgrave Park.

The workshop produced eight bat boxes and 12 bird boxes, which were installed the following day by professional gardeners Dave Cooper and Greg Crowther of the council’s environmental services department, based at Manor Road.

“We know there’s quite a lot of bats and birds around and we have always had birdboxes in the woodland but they were getting so decrepit and falling down, so we thought we’d better have some new ones,” says Dorothy.

“We have already seen a pair of blue tits investigating one of the bird boxes,” she adds.

The project was carried out with help from Falsgrave Pet Shop.

Other events being planned by the Friends include a solstice celebration on 20 June, a nature day on 7 August,

a daft-dogs show on 19 September and a halloween party on 31 October (500 people attended last year’s).

Dorothy Russell, who chairs the Friends of Falsgrave Park, is pictured with council gardeners Dave Cooper, front, and Greg Crowther, with young box-makers Jack Hatfield, 4, and Lex Jeeves, 7 (to order this photo, ring 353597).

Design apprentice and well-loved member of staff at The Scarborough Review, Hannah Sylvester has been shortlisted to walk the Great Wall of China from the October 3 – 11 with Fabulous magazine in order to raise money for the breast cancer charity Coppafeel.

The charity is one close to Bridlington teen’s heart after she lost her mum, Gwen Sylvester to breast cancer in 2009 when she was just 13. Hannah currently lives with her sister, Sally in Bridlington.

The 19 year old designer will embark on the journey of a lifetime with Fabulous

magazine and three members of Union J to raise funds in October but she needs to raise £3,250 sponsorship first.

which is set to take place at Headlands School studio on Thursday 14 May at 6pm. Admission is £2 on the door.

Coppafeel is a charity that encourages women to check their breasts, and then reminds them regularly to do so. They’re on a mission to stamp out late detection of breast cancer by spreading the good habit of a lifetime to check breasts regularly amongst young people.

She said: “I would encourage any woman to keep a regular check on their breasts to make sure others do not have to go through the same experience as we had to.”

Hannah has raised £500 towards her total so far and is hosting fundraising events on the run up to her going to China. The first event will be a band night and raffle

Hannah’s super excited, she can’t wait to “see China, raise money for a charity that specifically targets breast cancer and make my mum proud.” There’s just one thing standing in her way…

We are calling out to our readers to help

Tales from cooler water

by Steve Crawford

WELL folks, welcome to summer. The season of surf, warm breezes and joy... well that’s what we want. After last year’s lovely weather we can always hope.

We’ve had a great month so far. Loads of thanks to everyone who came to the SAS big spring beach clean in March. We had a great day cleaning up what first looked like a perfectly clean beach but, unfortunately, later proved otherwise.

On these days it is always surprising the litter that is hidden in the sand. We still managed to get 10 bin bags of litter. With the warm weather comes other problems, a week later was Easter Saturday and after a day of sun and visitors the beach was filthy. It is always a shock how much litter is left by the inconsiderate minority. It takes so little to think about your actions and clean up after yourself but this simple task seems to elude some fools.

There are a couple more beach cleans coming up. I’m planning an evening one over half term and we may even have a BBQ if the weather is good (date TBC please check Fluid concept surf shop Facebook page for details). The next

one is everyone’s favourite, the Barefoot Wine beach clean series. They are hitting Scarborough on the 18th July I’ll give you times next month. The SAS folks will be there full of info and enthusiasm to make the event truly great. The events are open to everyone but anyone under 16 years old needs to be accompanied by a guardian.

This is the time of year when I start running more surf lessons from my shop at the Spa complex. Last week I had a really good reminder why I love my job.

I’d been doing a big stag do surf lesson in the morning and an older guy approached me asking if I’d take him surfing. So in the afternoon we headed out into the waves.

As we chatted I found out that Ritchie was 69 years old, plays bass in a few bands and is living life to the full. It was a pleasure to meet and surf with him. It was a reminder that it’s easy to think ‘ I’ll do it tomorrow’ or ‘ I’ll do it when I retire’. I hope that at 69 I’m the same as Ritchie, trying new things and making the most of life.

Bistro at the SJT set to serve up some culinary delights Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk BISTRO at the SJT is set to serve up some top tasty treats for everyone.

The brand new venture opens its doors on Saturday May 2 at the Theatre and is all set to be a welcome addition to the town.

Bistro at the SJT is a BEACH project supported by Yorkshire Coast Homes and is all about helping young people into employment via apprenticeships, training and work experience placements.

Head chef Jared Williams said: “I’m going to be running the kitchen at this exciting new venture based at the SJT which will be opening its doors to the public on Saturday 2 May. The project is all about helping young people into employment via apprenticeships, training and work experience placements. This really excites me as I feel my work will be helping the local community and I’ve always had an ambition to pass on my skills and experience to others.

“I got this job last year after successfully completing my Level 3 Catering qualification at Yorkshire Coast College. A gruelling selection process followed which included designing and cooking a three course meal, costing a full menu and a final interview. I feel it’s an enormous opportunity and privilege for me to be able to help establish a

restaurant from the ground up, and the fact that it’s for a Social Enterprise is even more rewarding.

“Over the years I’ve worked at a few different places at the same time as progressing through college and always wanted to run my own restaurant but never expected I would be able to do so, so early in my career. It’s been a long road that’s seen venue changes, many menus and a lot of learning, but we’re now almost ready to go and it’s incredibly exciting.”

The bistro will be open six days a week, Monday to Saturday between 11am -4pm and features a varied selection of of dishes ranging from burgers to scrambled egg and smoked salmon.

Bob Spedding, from the BEACH, said: “This is an extremely exciting project for us and one that has generated a lot of interest.

“It is fantastic that we can provide opportunities of work to people in such an environment as this, and we can’t wait to open and get the public through the doors.

“The menu is great and there will hopefully be something for everyone.

We are in a fantastic location and the setting and style of the bistro seem to fit perfectly.” n For all booking for the bistro please ring the SJT box office on 01723 370541.

Soon time to celebrate and get on song

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

The Scarborough Spa Orchestra take a break in the Sun Court

Spa Orchestra set to sizzle in summer season

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE Scarborough Spa Orchestra has unveiled their Thursday Gala Nights for the 2015 summer season.

Often referred to as the Jewel in Scarborough’s Crown (and sometimes as Scarborough’s Hidden Gem), the Spa Orchestra is the only professional orchestra in the UK, and probably in the world, to play music from light classics and opera right through to songs from current West End shows – and pretty well every other style of music in between.

To prove the point, the Orchestra have announced details of their Thursday night Gala Concerts.

Their annual New Year concert of music from the Johann Strauss family draws a full house every year, so a summer season version of the show will be popular with many.

But others may prefer A Night in the West End which will feature songs by Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber and a great finale from Les Miserables.

If an evening of favourite, well known opera songs doesn’t appeal, then perhaps Frank Sinatra classics will attract

attention in an evening to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Ol’ Blue Eyes.

The big crowd-pullers each summer are the evenings devoted to the songs of Ivor Novello and the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Building on the success of previous years, the Orchestra will be proud to be joined towards the end of the season by talented young musicians from the Scarborough area.

All this and three more evening concerts and five morning performances each week make a summer of entertaining light music which simply cannot be found anywhere else.

This year’s Scarborough Spa Orchestra season runs from 4 June-17 September 2015 Musical Director Paul Laidlaw says "It's both a privilege and a great pleasure to be able to present a summer of music at the magnificent Spa. The tunes we play are timeless so people never tire of them. I look forward to welcoming friends old and new during our 15 weeks of great musical entertainment." n Tickets are now on sale via www.scarboroughspa.co.uk or via The Spa Box Office (01723) 821888.

Tickets can be obtained from the YMCA Box Office, by visiting scarborough.ymca.org.uk or by calling 01723 506750.

A CELEBRATION of Song is getting closer and closer.

The musical extravaganza takes place on May 15 at the Spa Complex in the Ocean Room and will run from 7.3012pm with doors opening at 7pm.

Confirmed acts are Duggie Stewart with his band Solitare kindly donated

by Mr Tony Peers, Tom Davenport, Ken Gache and Alexandra Kirby.

It’s a cabaret style function in the Ocean Room at the Spa Complex which they have kindly donated free of charge.

It has a large dance floor for those who want to dance the night away. If you really want to get into the spirit of things why not go dressed up in your favourite era? Food will also be available throughout the evening.

Organiser Loraine Tinsley said: “We are also holding a raffle on the evening.

First prize is a voucher to spend in Boyes store for £250, second is a voucher for £100 to spend in Matalan and third is a meal for two followed by seats for the summer show at the Spa, there are also many runner-up prizes kindly donated by local shops and businesses.

“I am amazed and very grateful at just how much support and help I have been given during the planning of this event, especially from The Spa management,

Promoting the Celebration of Song event in the Brunswick Shopping Centre Gladys Freeman who is the Chair of The Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild, also Mrs Judith Hargreaves and her husband Alan who have all been a massive support to me.

“Without the help of these amazing people I really don’t think this event would have been possible. I hope the residents of Scarborough will get behind this very worthy charity while having a night to remember at the same time. “ n You can buy tickets at the door but there is a limit on the capacity the room will hold so to avoid disappointment book your tickets in advance from the Spa box office on 01723 821888 or at www.spaenquires@sivltd.com

Inter-war tunes from the Rattlin’ Sheiks

The Rattlin’ Sheiks, L-R: Tim Robinson, Tim Riley and Alex Thompson (to order this photo, ring 353597).

Words and photo by Dave Barry WALK past Tim Robinson’s house in Scarborough’s old town of an evening and you may be inclined to linger.

Tim’s a keen musician and spends hours honing his skills on mandolin, fiddle, guitar and piano – which can easily be heard on the street outside.

Over the last year or so, he has teamed up with a couple of pals to perform a good mix of inter-war blues, jazz, country and folk.

Their songs and tunes come from string and jug bands like the Mississippi Sheiks, the Memphis Jug Band, jazz violin pioneer Stuff Smith, western swing bands and old-time fiddle tunes.

Modern influences and bands they like include Doc Watson, Ry Cooder, Hoclub of Cowtown and the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

The Rattlin’ Sheiks are Tim on mandolin and fiddle; Alex Thompson on guitar, banjo, harmonica and lead vocals; and Tim Riley on bass and acoustic guitar. The two Tims share backing vocals.

Alex runs a language school; Tim Robinson works in IT and as a counsellor; and Tim Riley is the manager of Bed Warehouse and runs mirror-mirror.com.

All were members of the SJT Funky Choir, where they met in March last year.

After discovering a mutual passion for old-time US genres, they began rehearsing in each others’ homes.

The trio has been trying out new songs at Phil ‘Foggy’ Hooley’s open-mic nights at the Naggs Head in Scalby, where they have been well received.

The Rattlin’ Sheiks have been booked to play at Staxtonbury twice: in their own right and as Foggy’s backing band. That’s in July.

They can also be seen at the village halls in Hackness on 28 August and Sawdon the day after. n The Rattlin’ Sheiks website is at rattlinsheiks.band

Legend Benaud graced Scarborough Cricket Festival

by Steve adamson THE recent death of cricketing great Richie Benaud, the former Australian Test captain and legendary commentator brought back memories of the halcyon days of the Scarborough Cricket Festival, in the days when the best teams and players in world cricket graced North Marine Road for the traditional end of season celebration of the noble game.

Richie Benaud played 63 Tests for Australia, 28 as captain before retiring

in 1964 to pursue a career in journalism and broadcasting, which saw him go on to become one of the most popular sports commentators in the world. He passed away in a Sydney Hospice at the age of 84 earlier this month after receiving treatment for skin cancer.

It was back in the 1953 Scarborough Festival when Benaud was playing for Australia in the final match of their Ashes tour against T.N.Pearce’s XI that he scored 135 in just 110 minutes, with 106 of his runs coming from boundaries, and his 11 sixes equalled the world record for most sixes in a first class fixture, a feat that had been achieved just twice before.

It is fascinating to look back at the matches that comprised the Scarborough Festival that year, with a host of top players from throughout the world taking part during the nine day cricket extravaganza between 2nd-12th September, including Len Hutton who scored three centuries during the Festival.

Archery club lands brand new home

Roger Greaves (centre) and junior members cut the ribbon to declare the new home open

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH Archers are right on target for a bright future after landing at their brand new base.

The club was founded in 1934 at a meeting held in Rowntree’s Cafe, Westborough on May 8. In all the years since, the club has led a nomadic existence, shooting at various venues including Raincliffe School, McCain Sports field and Seamer Sports Association, to name just a few.

Chairman John Naylor said: “In January 2014, we were offered a piece of land on Osgodby Lane, to purchase from Osgodby Community Association, and, after much deliberation, the club committee decided to go ahead with the purchase.

“A small group of dedicated members have toiled endlessly for 16 months to create not only a Target Archery range, but also a Field Archery course.

Field Archery is laid out in woodlands, shooting at 2D and 3D animal targets.

The field course has been designed and

built by club stalwart Colin Greenway, himself a member of the National Field Archery Society.”

“I feel this is the most exciting thing to happen in the history of Scarborough Archers and am proud to be part of it. We are now one of the very few clubs in the country that own their own land and can boast a Target Archery range and a Field Archery course on the same site.

“We now have room to develop our beginners classes, which are proving very popular. Anyone wishing to sign up for these should contact the club coach, Neil, by email at: beginners@ scarborougharchers.org .

“All this has been made possible with a grant from The Lottery Fund, trees from The Woodland Trust and help from local builders merchants Jewson.”

Scarborough Archers will be holding an Open Day on Bank Holiday Monday May 4 at the new club site on Osgodby Lane, Osgodby from 10am-4pm, when anyone can go along and try their hand at the ancient sport of archery.

Cricket Champions Staxton battle Heslerton in tasty season opener Staxton CC

THE 2015 readers Scarborough Beckett Cricket League gets underway on Saturday 2 May and week one of the programme throws up some tasty encounters.

In the Premier Division Staxton start the defence of their title with a home fixture against last season’s runners up Heslerton. Boosted by the signing of left handed batsman Dave Morris from Forge Valley, the nine times champions appear to be the team to beat and captain Nick Gibson will once again lead a strong looking, balanced side, which still includes elegant batsman Chris Dove who scored 572 runs last season, alongside spin duo Elliott Cooper and Linden Gray but have lost left arm swing bowler Adrian Long, who has returned to Sewerby despite claiming 25 wickets in his first season.

However, recent history points against a successful title defence, with Ebberston the last side to retain the championship back in 2006.

Heslerton will have a new look about them under newly elected skipper Adam Spaven, having lost some key players who played significant roles in their recent renaissance. Opening batsman Alex Carrie and left arm pace bowler Kristian Wilkinson have both joined Scarborough, while former captain Anthony Stones left during the latter half of 2014 to move to Flixton.

Spaven will be delighted with the return of Ian Dade from Malton, and the triple signing of young Sherburn allrounder Stuart Pickard, Richard Bentley of Murton CC from the Durham Cricket League and the league’s leading wicket taker last season with 46 wickets, spinner Dan Jeminson from Kirkbymoorside, who will form an exciting slow bowling partnership with Tom Benthall who snapped up 34 wickets last campaign.

Along with the dependable captain and fellow seam bowler Andy Slaughter, they remain a fine looking attack.

New boys hope to impress

New teams Flamborough, Great Habton and Muston will all be looking to make a big impression as they all return to the league in division C. Reigning Derwent Valley League champions Flamborough are at home against Ebberston 2nds.

Leading batsman Andy Dixon will again be leading the charge but Ebberston 2nds have fine young talents in Sam Hardie and Joe Dunnett in their bowling ranks.

Great Habton travel to local rivals Ryedale in what could be a cracking encounter. Ian Smith has moved from Ryedale to Pickering and his 543 runs, the most in Division B, proved in vain

last season as they suffered relegation.

Habton, who are captained by John Lumley, are a youthful looking outfit and team looking to progress.

Muston face a tricky trip to Ian Thompson’s Wykeham 2nds who finished third last season, Heslerton 2nds, captained by James Almond and Cloughton 2nds both struggled last season but face each other on the opening day, while Fyingdales 2nds entertain Seamer 2nds, led by Connor Mysercough, with both teams hoping to better their midtable finishes last term.

Scalby look to shine on topflight return

Last season Division A champions Scalby make their first appearance in the top flight since 1999 with a home fixture against Filey. Keeper batsman Lee Kerr, captain Adam Waugh and all-rounders Jon Barton and Paul Hesp could be key figures during the season and they will be hoping for ex-Scarborough fast bowler Pete Beard to be available on a more frequent basis.

Jamie Gilbank has taken over as Filey captain following David Brannan’s move to Scarborough and he will be hoping leading

duo Paul Bowes and Andy Burrell hit top form. Youngsters Ben Briggs and Aaron Howard have also impressed in recent seasons and will be aiming for good top flight campaigns.

Scalby won Division A in 2014 Fellow newcomers Nawton Grange, skippered by Jonny Pickard, who won the Division A batting merit award last season, travel to Ebberston who lost leading player Matthew Turnbull to York Senior League side Easingwold.

Seamer look for solid start in bid for return Despite being relegated from the top flight in 2014, Seamer have frequently shown a handy knack of securing instant returns and this year will see them as one of the teams to beat in what promises to be a highly competitive Division A. They start their season at home against fellow promotion hopefuls Wykeham, who finished third last season. Anthony Jenkinson will head the batting line up alongside keeper batsmen Greg Chadwick and Matthew Morris the fast bowling group for last season’s relegated outfit.

Wykeham are a close knit side and possess a number of potential match winners. Youngsters Ezra Pasby and off spinner Matthew Vincent, will again be key players alongside established seam bowlers Marcus Edwards, Dave Pearson and skipper Gareth Barnard.

Mulgrave will start the season in search of a second successive Beckett League promotion and are at home against Sherburn who will be out to improve this year after finishing ninth last season.

Sherburn have lost young all-rounder Stuart Pickard, snapped up by Premier division side Heslerton. Mulgrave enjoyed a fine first season in the league last time

out, securing a league and cup double and will be confident of making the step up into Division A, with Andy Thompson and Chris Clarkson leading the batting and former Staithes seam bowler Craig Thompson, who took 26 wickets in 2014 leading a strong bowling attack. They have also added Sleights’ Marc Kipling to their ranks.

Grindale, who had a fantastic first half to the 2014 season before tailing off after suffering from a shortage of players due to work commitments make the short journey to Wold Newton.

Ricky Nock takes charge at Cloughton and will be pushing for a good season.

They club regrouped last season after an indifferent 2013 and will be hoping to make continued progress. Cloughton entertain Settrington on the opening day, with the visitors capable of beating any side on their day. Left hander Stephen Beal had a fine 2014, averaging 43.29 with the bat, while spinner Andy Monkman continues to trouble opposition.

Brompton play host to Cayton 2nds who return the second tier of the league for the first time since 1998.

Fylingdales make the trip to Sewerby 2nds Fylingdales finished third, just eight points short of promotion last season and will be looking to go at least one step better this summer as they start 2015 with a trip to Sewerby 2nds. Fylingdales have the talents of Phil Stentiford, Barry Heyes and Chris Shrimpton to call upon.

Thornton Dale skipper Chris Headlam will be keen to build on last season’s fourth place finish They start 2015 with a home fixture against newly promoted Ravenscar, who boast a strong looking batting line up led by Joe Bayes (543 runs @ 49.36 last season) and a bowling attack with the consistent Jish Rewcroft and Dinesh Swaminathan leading the line.

It’s all change at Scarborough 3rds, where long standing captain Martin North has stood down but should be a youthful looking outfit. They will play host to newly promoted Scalby 2nds, who are led by experienced wicket-keeper batsman Paul Marton and will have Tom Gregory and Tony Geall in their ranks Consistent performer Steve Lount will again head Bridlington 2nds batting line up when they play host to Staxton 2nds.

Ganton will be hoping for a good season under the leadership of Stewart Ward and with the likes of Rob Gretton and Alastair Limb in their ranks are a very capable side. They start at home to Forge Valley 2nds.

Valley looking for youngsters to step up

Forge Valley finished third last season but the loss of Dave Morris to champions Staxton and Tom Bumby to York League side Malton could be significant blows.

Tom Brough, who has won the top flight merit award for the last two seasons will again be expected to amongst the runs from the start, alongside Mick Glew.

In the absence of Bumby, Valley will be looking for Charles Tindall, Nazar Khan and young prospect Jaymaine White to spearhead their attack. The East Aytonbased side begin at home to Flixton 2nds who only managed three wins during 2015, but their youngsters will benefit from the experience they had in the top

flight last campaign and will once again be led by tall fast bowler Mark Shackley.

Left Arm pace bowler Lee Elvidge enjoyed a good 2015, claiming 26 wickets and Kyle Scaife a fine year behind the stumps.

2010 champions Staithes could be the team to watch. They have Chris Morrison and Ian Dixon returning to the club with Dixon being installed as captain. They have also recruited Justin Ringin, an Australian spinner for the summer. They travel to a Cayton side that impressed many observers during 2014. Darren Foreman takes over as captain from Jake McAleese and will put faith in a young developing team.

Scarborough Review, May - Issue 21 43

Martin is the top guy during difficult Spring Cup Words & pictures by andy Standing THE Oliver’s Mount Road Racing season got underway with the Ian Watson Spring Cup. The meeting being a two day event for the first time and it proved to be two very eventful days.

Reigning Spring Cup champion Guy Martin was back to defend his crown, Gold Cup winner Ivan Lintin was back, this time for the RC Express team, as was Dean Harrison on the Mar Train Yamaha. There was plenty of local interest with James Cowton, James Neesom, Nick Anderson amongst a host of local riders.

Early morning rain on Saturday threw the timetable into chaos but the sun was soon out after after practice and qualifying the racing got underway. Ivan Lintin picked up where he left off in the Gold Cup, taking the Junior A race from Lee Johnston and Dean Harrison.

It was the first outing for the side cars and 17 times Isle of Man TT winner Dave Molyneux and passenger Benjamin Binns destroyed the field winning by over 16 seconds from Conrad Harrison and Lee Patterson. The second race later in the afternoon produced the same order but with a much closer finish with Harrison and Patterson reducing the gap to just under three seconds.

In the first leg of the feature race, The Ian Watson Spring Cup, Ryan Farquhar took an early lead from Guy Martin who was getting used to the new Tyco BMW. Dean Harrison was going well in third, Lee Johnston fourth and Ivan Lintin in fifth. Martin turned the screw and

gradually extended his lead. Harrison was forced to retire allowing Johnston to take third and Cowton who was riding the Honda Fireblade for the first time, up to fifth and when Johnston was also forced out Cowton was up to fourth.

Martin took the chequered flag three and half seconds ahead of Farquhar with Lintin a further three seconds behind. Cowton secured fourth but it was a disappointing outing for local rider James Neesom as he finished in 16th.

Alistair Howarth continued his dominance round the Mount circuit with victory in the first Lightweights outing finishing eight seconds ahead of Seamus Elliott with Paul Owen taking third, Phil Harvey took fourth and Scarborough’s Nick Anderson fifth, one place in front of racing legend Ian Lougher.

Sunday proved to be a difficult day for racing as the heavens opened but that did not stop Scarborough’s Nick Anderson taking his first win round the Mount in the junior race. Riding the Roger Middleton Kawasaki ZXR 400, Anderson made light work of the conditions finishing over ten seconds ahead of Paul Owen.

Ryan Farquhar made it a double in the Classic F1 and F2 with a comfortable win from Peter Boast and Dave Bell.

Next up was the second leg of the feature race. Driving rain greeted the riders with Guy Martin opting to wear an over jacket. After problems with his 1000cc Suzuki, Daley Mathison was forced to ride his 600cc Hol Taj sponsored GSXR but this did not stop

him turning in a superb performance to take the victory by nearly eight seconds from Tom Weeden. Ivan Lintin took third with Martin in fourth. James Neesom improved on his first leg performance with a top ten finish. Guy Martin retained the Spring Cup with the overall result being determined by aggregate positions.

Mathison will have been delighted with his victory, the Durham rider got married over the Easter weekend but gave up his honeymoon in order to compete at the Spring Cup. Having made steady improvement over the last couple of years, Mathison looks like he will be a force to be reckoned with this season.

In the second Junior A race Daley Mathison picked up his second victory from Ivan Lintin and Dan Heggarty.

James Neesom put in a fine performance to finish fourth and James Cowton finished fifth. Darren Cooper took the win in the B race.

The Super Lightweights were the penultimate race of the weekend and Ivan Lintin recorded another victory on the Kawaski ER650. James Cowton continued his fine run of results with second and Dan Heggarty in third. Nick Anderson followed up his earlier victory with a sixth place and local lad James Tadman making his Oliver’s Mount debut finished ninth.

Despite the weather it was another great weekend of racing at the Mount, a venue which never fails to deliver exciting racing.

FroM the SideLineS

by Steve adamson

Words by Steve adamson/pictures by Pete Spence REIGNING Scarborough News District League champions NEWLANDS PARK overcame a slow start to the season and the loss of ace striker Billy Logan to Pickering Town, to finish the season with a run of ten successive league wins, which saw them finish three points clear at the top of the table. Their last defeat was 2-1 to Filey Town on 17 January, and they never dropped another point after that. The title race swung in their favour when they thrashed Seamer Sports 8-0 on the penultimate Saturday, while rivals Filey Town squandered a 2-0 lead to slip to a crushing 7-2 defeat

by West Pier. Newlands then routed Whitby Fishermen 7-0 in a midweek fixture, and these results left Newlands three points clear of Filey at the top, with a vastly superior goal-difference, and the two leaders met in the final game of the season, when goals from Danny Jenkinson, Adam Stride and Dan Freer gave Newlands a 3-1 win. WEST PIER snatched runners-up spot from Filey with a 9-1 thumping of Sleights in their final game, with Luke Delve scoring four.

EDGEHILL ended in 4th place after drawing 3-3 with Seamer Sports in their final match of the season.

Newlands had already won the League Cup prior to clinching the title, after beating Whitby Fishermen 5-0 in the final at Pickering, with goals from Sean Exley 2, Dan Freer 2 and Chris Dove. In other cup finals, CAYTON CORINTHIANS won the League Trophy with a 4-0 success against Edgehill Reserves in the final, Josh Venner scoring twice and Steve Roberts and Harry Holden also getting on the scoresheet, while SEAMER SPORTS RES added the Frank White Trophy to their third division championship, after Gary Walters and Danny Glendinning scored in a 2-0 win against Falsgrave Athletic in the final. The Scarborough FA Harbour

Cup was won by Kirkbymoorside from the York League, who beat Lealholm 3-1 in the final.

FILEY TOWN RESERVES were worthy second division champions, finishing four points clear of runners-up Whitby Rugby Club. They clinched the title with a 2-0 win against FC Rosette, with goals from Martyn Jenkinson and Dave Wedge, and they were also successful in the Scarborough FA Junior Cup, beating Newlands Park Reserves 1-0 in the final at Bridlington, thanks to a late Martyn Jenkinson goal. SEAMER SPORTS RES ended the campaign nine points clear at the top of division three, rounding off the season beating Commercial 1-0 thanks to a Travis Wood strike, with FALSGRAVE ATHLETIC pipping Cayton Reserves to runners-up spot on goal-difference.

EASTWAY SPORTS finished 5th in their debut season, beating Tennyson 9-3 in their last game, with Eric Hall grabbing a hat trick.

rep team lose out after two see red The District League rep team squandered a 2-0 lead in their National Inter-League Knockout Cup match away to the Teesside League, and had two players sent off as the Teesside League fought back to level the scores to take the match into extra time. Goals from Newlands Park strikers Sean Exley and Danny Jenkinson gave the District League a 2-0 interval lead, but red cards handed out to Shaun Dodson of Athletico 2B and Jenkinson, allowed the Teesside League to get back level, and they scored four extra time goals against the nine men to seal a flattering 6-2 victory.

trafalgarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domination is ended NEWLANDS landed the Evening News Sunday League title for the first time ever, after thrashing Itis Itis 14-1, with Ryan Cooper scoring four and Hughie Brown getting a hat trick, to finish one point clear of reigning champions Trafalgar who ended the campaign with a 3-2 win against Commercial, Neil Thomas scoring twice and Ricky Greening getting the other. Trafalgar had won the title nine times in the previous ten seasons. Newlands remained unbeaten throughout the league campaign, winning 12 and drawing two of their 14 matches, but they were beaten in the final of the North Riding Sunday Challenge Cup, going down 3-0 to The Cleveland at Stokesley. WEST PIER finished third in the table, 14 points behind runners-up Trafalgar. TRAFALGAR RES won a third successive second division championship, nine points ahead of runners-up HESLERTON, who secured second place with a last day 2-0 win against third placed West Riding, who had earlier beaten Roscoes Bar 16-1, with Luke Jones scoring five of the goals.

Despite losing their Sunday League title, Liam Saltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TRAFALGAR were successful in winning the prestigious North Riding Sunday County Cup with a 7-0 thrashing of Thornaby Meerkats in the final at Stokesley. Billy Logan scored a hat trick and the other scorers were Sean Exley (2), Dean Craig and Chris Dove. There was chaos in the Sunday League Goalsports Trophy semi-finals, the cup competition for second division teams, when Carl Hepples scored a hat trick for ROSCOES BAR in a 3-3 draw with Cayton, before Roscoes won 6-5 on penalties, while WEST RIDING

Pictures by Pete Spence and Will Baines SCARBOROUGH Athletic under-13s sealed the Hull Boys League title with a 1-0 victory over Driffield.

Boro welcomed Driffield to Filey on a bright Sunday afternoon hoping for a win to win the Hull Boys League Top Division .

The hosts started well getting the ball down and playing out of defence with some neat passing .

Kane Randerson Wray and Daniel Simpson on the flanks causing the home defence lots of problems. It was on five mins when Jake Baldwin got on the end of some good approach play by Jaydan Hindle and Simpson to put Boro 1-0 up with a neat left foot strike and calm the nerves of the home team. Boro continued to try and play through the thirds Lewis McGrath and George Bramham receiving the ball from Cameron Anderson in the Boro goal and linking up well with Bradley Smith, who was his influential self spraying the ball about in the centre of midfield. Although Boro were enjoying plenty of possession they rode their luck on 20 mins when a missed interception allowed a Driffield striker to break free from the Boro rearguard but fortunately

blazed his shot over the bar. This was the only time that Harry Coldbeck and Nathan Parker at the heart of the Boro defence were troubled in the first half, both of them being ice cool in possession, and helping start wave of Boro Attacks.

In the second half Nathan Vidler’s hard work and neat flicks, to new strike partner George Walmsley nearly had Boro adding to their scoreline, but for the great goalkeeping of Lewis Ashton in the Driffield net on more than one occasion denying Walmsley, Tommy Wright and Edward Allerston in quick succession.

As Boro couldn’t add to their tally this was always going to be a finely balanced game, Driffield now starting to believe there was a way back into the game.

Driffield had two or three free kicks on the half way line from which they looked dangerous pumping the ball into the box, some good clearances from Walmsley and Finlay Marsh helping to keep Boro’s slender lead.

As the minutes ticked down Boro still created one or two more goal scoring chances but were once again denied by the impressive Ashton in the Driffield goal.

Boro were not to be denied their well deserved victory and Hull Boys League

Boro end season with respectful finish

Boro’s Matty Plummer rises highest against Padiham

by Will Baines SCARBOROUGH Athletic rounded off their Evo-Stik First Division North season just two points shy of the play-offs, but there is much to be positive about looking ahead to next season.

April began with a last-minute equaliser

by Dean Lisles to salvage a point against Prescot Cables. Boro looked to be heading for defeat after two goals from Cables striker Jack Philips, but Ryan Blott got one back with 12 minutes to go before Lisles headed in a corner late on to salvage a point.

Just 48 hours later promotion chasing Darlington came to Queensgate looking to keep up their title challenge. In front of a record home crowd of 1,112, an even

first half saw plenty of action with a big penalty appeal for the Quakers and a disallowed goal for Boro, but neither side could break the deadlock. After the break it was Darlington who struck first when substitute Liam Hatch capitalised on a mistake to race in and crack a low effort in off the post.

But Boro hit back just four minutes later when Peter Jamieson dropped a cross from the right, with Blott in the right place at the right time to head in and spark wild celebrations from the Athletic faithful.

With just twenty minutes to go, either sides could have gone on to win it, but a touch of class from Darlington striker and league top scorer Nathan Cartman as he crashed past Joe Cracknell with a

Northwich keeper and seal the three point haul for Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot’s side.

After a midweek draw against Warrington, with Dan Clayton getting on the scoresheet, the final home game against Padiham saw Boro run riot with a 6-1 win. At half-time Boro were 4-1 up as Ryan Blott scored after just five minutes with an acrobatic Ryan Blott takes control for Boro overhead effort before a classic turn and finish from the edge of the area doubled Boro’s lead. Padiham pulled a goal back when Daniel Wilkins ran onto a through ball and cracked a low effort past Cracknell, but Gary Bradshaw then added two further goals in five minutes to give Boro an unassailable lead at the break. A superb team goal Scarborough Athletic fans at Kendal ended with Paul Robson finding the far corner after fearsome volley was enough to win the a superb assist from Gary Bradshaw made game 2-1 despite a spirited Boro display it 5-1, then Alex Metcalfe added a sixth to that showed they could match the top round off the scoring. sides.

Nick driving on after Mount success

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCARBOROUGH’S young motorbike hopeful Nick Anderson is planning to step up the gears this year after clinching his first outright victory at Oliver’s Mount.

Nick said: “The Spring Cup was very difficult for me having not ridden a bike since October and with no testing prior to the meeting. The weather was terrible on Saturday morning meaning both ofmy practice sessions on each bike were cancelled due to an incident, and then I had to go straight into qualifying. I was pleased to put the 400 on the front row in third place, with the misfiring 650 ER6 in 12th place.

“The first race on Saturday was the 650cc race, but had to retire on the warm up lap due to an unrideable misfire. The 400cc race I was in second place on the first lap when the throttle cable came out of its housing, and could no longer reach full throttle; in the end finishing fifth.

“The Sunday brought more unsettled weather, not helped when I dislocated my shoulder on the first qualifying lap on the 650; meaning I’d have to start the race from last. The 400cc race arrived, and the RMKD Racing bike ran with no problems, and I managed to take my first outright win around Oliver’s Mount.

“It was great to end a difficult weekend with a win and still in one piece. I’m looking forward to the Barry Sheene meeting in June and would like to thank everyone that’s helped me, as well as the marshalls and staff at the Auto 66 for braving the weather and running a good meeting.”

Nick has plenty to keep him busy in the coming months as he progresses his young career.

He added: “My plans for the rest of the season are to continue at the Oliver’s mount meetings. I’m hoping to be riding an additional bike from the Barry Sheene meeting in June - a Kawasaki

Nick Anderson in action at Oliver’s Mount ZXR 750 for the F1 Classic class which will be the quickest bike I’ve ridden so far.

I will also do a few circuit meetings with various clubs throughout the year.

“My main focus for the year is in the Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix in the Isle of Man. I’ve entered the lightweight MGP on a 400cc Kawasaki ZXR. We thought this was the best option as Roger Middleton, my sponsor, has built a race

winning bike in the past, as well as still holding several lap records around the country in this class. So I think I have a good chance of standing on the podium; as I did in the 2014 newcomers race on one of Rogers 650cc ER6s. I’ve also entered the F2 Classic TT on a 1986 Kawasaki GPZ 600, again as I believe it’s the best classic class to aim for a good result.”

Car Review: The New 308 PEUGEOT’S cars may not have always been well known for being cost effective, but it seems that their reputation may be about to change after the release of the New 308. With a forecast CPM figure of 43.2 pence per mile over three years and 60,000 miles, the New 308 comes in with cheaper fuel costs than the VW Golf,

which has a CPM figure of 43.5 pence per mile. Alongside its low fuel costs, the diesel option also boasts low CO2 emissions, sitting at 82g/km, which makes it better for the environment than some of its rivals.

And the low running costs aren’t the only reason to choose the new 308. It offers

a sleek design, a great driving experience thanks to the low centre of gravity, and fantastic intuitive features like the interactive touchscreen.

Finally, Peugeot have really put the New 308 through its paces, with over 400,000 miles of endurance and safety testing and 1000 test drives – so you know that you’re

getting a car that has been rigorously analysed. n Pop in to the dealership on Seamer Road, visit www.dealer.peugeot.co.uk/ minstergate-scarborough or call 01723 380250.
