Decorator turned burglar caught in the act on CCTV A SCARBOROUGH decorator has been caught stealing from his wife’s employer on CCTV. In the early hours, Mike Scott took the keys his wife used to teach at the Hatton School of Performing Arts in Durham Street, about a mile away from their home in Broom Walk, Northstead. On an unknown number of occasions, he sneaked into the property and took staff wages, kids’ earnings from performances, tuck-shop money and rehearsal fees. The persistent thefts were extremely worrying for business owner Julie Hatton, who had no idea who had been committing them. She said she was “absolutely devastated” that “all students and staff have felt under suspicion in what can only be described as a horrendous time for all involved at the school”.

Mike Scott is caught red-handed

She was so disturbed by the frequent disappearance of money that she installed CCTV, which Scott didn’t notice.

Scott, 44, was caught stealing on camera four times over four weeks. “Unfortunately, this is the furthest back our CCTV would go, so the

previous times when money has gone missing, we can't prove who it was”, Julie wrote on the school’s Facebook page, where she has posted

film of Scott, caught in the act. “However, there is a link in the modus operandi between all the thefts leading back for five years. “As you will see in the footage, the burglaries were done with cold, calculating, malicious intent”, she wrote. The burglaries were often committed when Julie was on holiday or when Scott knew the school had competitions, etc. “We can't describe the disappointment and heartbreak we are feeling at being betrayed by someone who we trusted and called a friend”, Julie said. At the magistrates court, Scott pleaded guilty to four charges of trespassing with intent to steal. He was given a suspended prison sentence of 26 weeks, fined £400 and ordered to do 100 hours of community service.

Spectators and recovery vehicles gather around the stricken vehicle (to order photos ring 353597)

THREE days after a jet-ski trailer and truck got stuck in the sand in Scarborough's north bay, another vehicle suffered a similar fate. The trailer and truck were towed off at low tide but the car wasn’t so lucky. The driver and two or three

others desperately tried to push the heavy 4x4 off the beach, but it was well and truly stuck. At high tide, hundreds of people gathered to watch the coastguards and recovery vehicles pull the blue Dodge Nitro out of the sea.

Both incidents occurred on bank holidays - Good Friday and Easter Monday. A jet-skier is understood to have been injured at the first incident. Both vehicles had driven onto the soft sand to pick up jetskis, ignoring a big sign clearly stating that it was forbidden. This would probably invalidate an insurance claim. One witness said a jet-ski had been seen near the harbour entrance in the south bay, where jet skis are banned. An online commentator pointed out: “The problem is that the slipway is a designated launch spot and there are very few around here so it attracts a lot of folks”.

Another added: “I was in north bay yesterday and if it hadn't been for the noise of the jetskis it would have been the perfect holiday beach audio experience. Nothing but waves, wind and the voices of the chattering animals that flock here in the sunshine. They spoilt it completely. By the by, jet-skis are one of the most carbon-intensive forms of transportation known to man”.

The sign at the top of the slipway says it all

Roads close while Road closure protects drunks BBC films comedy from vehicles Sanctuary stay open until 4am. Richard Marr of the county council said: “The use of the automated signs will enable the closure to be adequately signed without the cost of employing personnel to erect and maintain physical signs and barriers during the night. We trust that drivers will comply with the restriction and enable this part of Scarborough’s night-time economy to operate in a safer manner”. A pilot closure of the street on weekend evenings during 2015 and 2016 received positive feedback from the public and local businesses, including taxi and private-hire operators.

A BUSY street in the middle of Scarborough is being closed to traffic on Saturday nights. Too many drunk people are in danger of getting knocked over in St Nicholas Street, which is closed from 11pm Saturday to 5am Sunday. The closure doesn’t involve a barrier, just automated signs. The road contains three of the town’s busiest pubs and is often full of rowdy young people on Saturday nights. Fights frequently break out either in the pubs or on the pavement and street. On Saturday nights (Sunday mornings), Scarborough Flyer shuts at 2am; Quids Inn and

NEWS IN BRIEF

DERWENT Valley Bridge Community Library in West Ayton will celebrate British sandwich week from 2026 May with a design-asandwich competition for children. It will have three age categories: 3-5, 5-8 and 8-16 years. Entries must be in by 7pm on 21 May. The winners will be announced at a coffee morning on 25 May which starts at 10.30am. Entry forms are available at the library. A PLANT sale will be held at Burniston & Cloughton village hall on 1 June. It will have a large selection of bedding plants and surplus perennials, cakes by Ginilla and hand-crafted garden accessories made by students at the Construction Skills Village. Part of the proceeds will go to Newby & Scalby Library and the Stepney Hill garden project supporting veterans of the First Light Trust. FOUR people in a grey Seat Ibiza car sustained serious injuries when it was driven into a house, smashing windows, on the B1258 between Ebberston and Snainton. Two men were taken to Scarborough Hospital. Two females were taken to Hull Royal Infirmary. No-one in the property was injured. Police are appealing for witnesses. The collision occurred at 5.02am on 29 March. AS if Scarborough wasn’t already serviced by fabulous cafes serving delicious coffee and food, another one has popped up. Lookout on

the Pier, a first-floor venue overlooking the harbour on West Pier, is run by Gill Partridge, who used to run Watermark. The premises have been doubled in size by knocking through into a neighbouring unit. A free one-hour butterfly walk around the Valley gardens in Scarborough will be conducted on 5 May by amateur lepidopterist Martin Dove. It will begin at the duckpond under Valley bridge at 10.30am. “If it is sunny, you might see brimstones, peacocks, commas, holly blues, painted ladies, speckled woods, orange tips, red admirals and small tortoiseshell”, says Martin, who will award a butterfly pin badge for the best photo of a butterfly taken during the walk. He will be accompanied by Ani Tselha, the resident nun at the Buddhist centre in the Crescent, where tea and cake will be served afterwards. A 17-year-old boy has been charged with six counts of burglary and remanded into custody . Detectives in Scarborough have been conducting an investigation, after several business premises were targeted over a six-week period in February and March. Detective constable Jade GallagherBarrass said: “We understand the concern that has been voiced by local business owners in Scarborough and the impact these incidents have had on their businesses and lives”. THERE were 666 flytipping incidents in the borough of Scarborough in the year 2017-18, according to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. However, the true

scale of flytipping on farmland is not reflected in the figure, as it excludes most privateland incidents. Asbestos and household, clinical, chemical and fuel waste is frequently dumped in the countryside. A new manager of the Brunswick shopping centre in Scarborough has been appointed. Sue Anderson-Brown previously held management roles at Bradford’s Broadway shopping centre, Coppergate in York and Centre MK in Milton Keynes. The Brunswick is owned by M&G Real Estate and managed by CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investment firm; it is the largest company of its kind in the world. The property letting agents are Savills and Rawston Johnson. HARRY Gration has acquired another notch for his CV. The Look North presenter, a frequent visitor to Scarborough and Filey, has become a deputy lieutenant of North Yorkshire. During a long career, Harry has covered nine Olympic games, various Commonwealth games, the World Cup, Wimbledon and the golf Open. He is patron of St Luke’s Hospice and the Cavendish Centre in Sheffield and an ambassador for Help the Aged in Leeds. A coffee morning outside High Street Fisheries in Eastfield raised over £200 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Owners Lindsey and Darren Benson ran the event because Lindsey has been undergoing chemotherapy. It featured family entertainer Stephen Brailsford and Radio Scarborough presenters.

NOW the borough elections are over, Scarborough Council can finally choose a new mayor and deputy mayor from the councillors who have been elected. Until a few years ago, the mayor was selected by councillors before elections, with the danger of being deselected by the electorate, so the process was moved forward.

Despite the prestige, the job of mayor has become harder over the years. The office is regarded by some councillors as a poisoned chalice. Chairing meetings can be particular arduous, which is why many believe the post should go to an official with experience of handling the complicated, rowdy and televised meetings. The new mayor, who will be

chosen at a meeting of the full council on 7 May, will take office on 16 May, when the mayoral year ends and starts. Unusually, for the nine days in between, the outgoing mayor, Joe Plant, who is stepping down from the council, will be mayor without being a councillor.

Filey grave robber sent down A woman has been jailed for stealing memorial items left on graves in a Filey churchyard. Karen Murray, 50, of Filey, has been charged with the theft of gravestone ornaments, plant pots and artificial flowers between 1 June and 30 August 2018. From June 2018, the police began to receive reports that small items of great sentimental value had gone missing from several gravesides at St Oswald’s Church. They began an investigation and churchyard patrols were stepped up, with officers and

PCSOs checking the area day and night. Following a tip-off, officers arrested Murray in August and she was charged with 13 thefts. Items were recovered from her home and returned to their owners. Murray was jailed for 20 weeks at Scarborough magistrates court. Magistrates told Murray the offences were so serious because she had “returned time and time again”. She was told: “The court has heard and read the victim statements describing the

impact of your offending on them. There has been significant additional harm caused to the victims, highly personal items taken which cannot be replaced. “The victims felt violated and felt despair that they were personally targeted. There was a lack of respect shown. You have shown no remorse and no victim empathy and you continue to abdicate responsibility. A community order cannot be justified and could not provide sufficient restriction on your liberty”.

21 charities share £14,628 AT the end of the mayoral year, £14,628 from the Mayoress’s Community Fund was shared out between 21 charities in the borough of Scarborough. Most of the money, about £10,000, was raised at the mayor’s ball, which featured a big draw. The rest was raised through donations from a dozen organisations such as South Cliff Golf Club. Quizzes, coffee mornings and three Christmas tombolas boosted the fund, said mayoress Margaret Plant. The 21 beneficiaries each received an average of £700. They were the Friends of St Mary's, Wreyfield Drive Rainbows, Scarborough Haven Project, 1st Scarborough (Northstead) Rainbows, the National Literacy Trust, Martin House, Hunmanby in Bloom, the Wave Project, Scarborough Samaritans, Remap (Scarborough Panel), North Cliff Crown

Green Bowling Club, the Boys Brigade 5th Scarborough Company, South Cliff Bowling Club, Scarborough Musicals, the YMCA, 2nd Scarborough (Westborough) Guides, Scarborough Swimming Club, Willows Lull, Whitby Seals Amateur Swimming Club, Esk Moors Active and the British Heart Foundation in Whitby. The winning ticket numbers in the mayor’s ball draw were 704, 395, 583, 562, 768, 055, 017, 978, 174, 875, 730, 309, 205, 505, 376, 329 and 728. All the prizes have been collected. The MCF does not donate to national charities, except when the local branch finances and manages itself. An MCF application form can be found on the council website - www. s c a r b o r o u g h . g o v. u k / mayor.

Great weather means high turnout for 60th Scalby Walk

All set for the 10.30am start

Margaret Scarth with her medals for doing the 25th and 50th walks

THE weather couldn’t have been better for the 60th annual Scalby Walk on Easter Monday. Warm sunshine encouraged a good turnout of 125 participants, many in fancy dress.

The 10.50am walkers set off

One man, with a billycock hat, waistcoat with carnation buttonhole and a walking stick, impersonated walk founder Frank ‘Sparky’ Sparks. The walk started life as a bet between Frank and some younger people in 1959. Many people were dressed to represent one of the four pubs on the route, which every walker had to visit. They were the Three Jolly Sailors in Burniston, the Red Lion and Blacksmiths Arms in Cloughton and the Oak Wheel in Burniston. The walkers were started off in groups at intervals by the Stephen Joseph Theatre’s artistic director, Paul Robinson. People aged over 65 or with young children were set off in theatrical stepping-out style at

10.30am. The 45-65 age group left at 10.40am, followed by the 18-44 age group at 10.50am and late entries at 11am and 11.05pm. The first resident man and woman to finish were Kenneth Martin and Nicky Grunwell, who arrived back at 11.48am and 12.09am. The fastest resident times were achieved by Harry Butterworth, 15, who

Special-needs school feels the love A SPECIAL-NEEDS school in Scarborough is having its needs met in special ways at the moment. Woodlands School, next to the hospital, has been given £2,000 by Ourco and will receive the proceeds of an ultra-marathon being run by one of its teachers. Ourco donated £2,000 to help the school develop its light and dark sensory rooms and improve access to outdoor learning. The school gardens, where pupils learn many practical skills, will be developed further. Ourco volunteer Bob Duke visited the school to present a cheque to specialist curriculum support officer Kerry Lenton and teacher Mark Oliver. On 15 June, Mark and his friend Peter Midgley will raise money for Woodlands by running the Rat Race from Carlisle castle to Newcastle. This is a 69-mile, 24hour ultra-marathon, involving 100,000 steps and an ascent of 1,370 feet over the highest parts of the route.

Bob Duke of Ourco, left, presents a £2,000 cheque to Kerry Lenton and Mark Oliver of Woodlands School, watched by pupils (to order photos ring 353597)

Woodlands Academy has about 90 pupils aged 2-16 with a wide range of needs including moderate or severe learning difficulties, speech and language difficulties, autism and some medical difficulties. Mark states: “We are committed to providing the best education for all our pupils with all staff being passionate about providing a meaningful and motivating curriculum. Our aim is to help our pupils become

responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to the community”. He adds: “We adopt a holistic approach, focusing on the development of the whole child using a personalised, pupilcentred curriculum”.

The winners were presented with trophies by past organisers and participants including Margaret Scarth (44 walks), Tim Tubbs (son of the late Canon Chris Tubbs - 35 walks), Mike Sedman (who set the course record of 58.5 minutes in the 1960s), Alan Bruce, Bob Gibbons, Geoff Dove and Richard Grunwell.

committee which organises the walk, said: “This year’s walk exceeded all expectations. We anticipated more numbers due to the anniversary, but combined with fine, warm weather we had a fantastic day and 125 taking part was amazing. We had people from all over the country, even

Ireland, all of whom had a family connection to the area”. The aim is to foster community spirit in a friendly family competition and raise funds for charity through sponsorship. This year’s beneficiary will be Dial-a-Ride. It is not yet known how much has been raised.

NEWS IN 1,480-mile road BRIEF trip will visit A motorcyclist died in a three-vehicle collision on the A171 ScarboroughWhitby road, near the Helwath Road junction on 19 April. The road, which was full of bank-holiday traffic, had to be closed for a while. The rider, 49, was from Middlesbrough. The other vehicles were a white Volkswagen Golf driven by a man aged 26 and a grey Iveco horsebox van, driven by a woman aged 39.

The Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery are organising a spring fair in the cemetery on Sunday 5 May from 11am to 3pm. Chairman Linda Tomczak says it will feature over 20 gift and craft stalls, a fairground organ, a tombola, a book and bric-a-brac stall, a cemetery walk at 12.30pm, a treasure hunt and a pebble-painting competition for children. Free entry.

28 RAF stations in 48 hours A 1,480-mile road trip visiting 28 RAF stations in 48 hours in aid of charity will start and finish in Scarborough. RAF sergeant James Raw and flying officer John Brooks-Bank are to drive a minibus with a top speed of 62 mph virtually non-stop on 25 and 26 May. The aim is to raise over £1,000 for mental health charity Scarborough Survivors and the RAF Air Cadets. The trip was motivated by an awareness of mental-health issues affecting young people. Survivors will put the funds towards a young-persons project at its resource centre at 9 Alma Square. The air cadets will be helping to decorate the attic space to be used for the project, dedicated to 16-25 year olds. The fundraiser has received sponsorship from CMD Sports Horses. A spokesperson said: “The equestrian world has its fair share of people affected by

poor mental health. We wish the RAF Air Cadets team good luck and wish Scarborough Survivors continued success in their amazing work. They certainly do a good job". Survivors chief executive Andrea Woolcott said: “We would like to thank the RAF Air Cadets for choosing to support our charity with their fundraising efforts. We wish them good luck with their endeavour. "We would also like to thank CMD Sport Horses for their sponsorship and support. We are looking forward to working with the cadets to make the best use of the young persons’ space we are going to create”. Further corporate sponsorship is being sought. The names of all sponsors will be included on a banner to be fixed to the minibus as it goes on its travels. To offer support, email james. raw@outlook.com or ring Survivors on 500222.

Body image pop up at Brunswick AS part of Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19 May) Brunswick Shopping Centre and Scarborough Mind will be hosting a number of special events focused on this year’s theme of body positivity and body image. On 18-19 May, a special event called ‘Be You!’ will take place in the central mall space, where a team of stylists, beauty and mental health professionals will be on hand to offer advice, guidance and positivity to shoppers. Visitors can take snaps in a state of the art photo booth, and directly download them to their phones to share on social media. The official hashtags for National Health Aware-

ness Week are #BeBodyKind and #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Sue Anderson - Brown, centre manager, Brunswick, “Mental Health Awareness Week is hugely beneficial to reduce stigma and the activity at Brunswick aims to provide a focus for those people seeking help or advice regarding any mental health concerns they may have. Our Be You! event is designed to celebrate individuality and raise awareness of this year's theme of body positivity! We are mindful that the retail setting can be very much body and clothing-focused. Having both our customers and the team that work within the Centre be

more thoughtful of body image and its impact on mental health - has to have a positive impact.” Last year The Mental Health Foundation found that 30% of all adults have felt so stressed by body image and appearance that they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. That’s almost 1 in every 3 people. As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, they will be publishing the results of a UKwide survey on body image and mental health, looking at body image issues across a lifetime – including how it affects children and young people, adults and people in later life.

A Samaritans listening volunteer will call at the charity’s Scarborough branch on 6 May during an 18-month, 6,000-mile walk around the UK and Ireland. David Matthews, 58, is visiting all 201 branches of the Samaritans, starting and finishing in Doncaster. At each one, David is doing a listening shift, answering calls, emails and texts from the wide range of Samaritans callers. He hopes to link up with the Samaritans festival branch at

one of the music events it will attend in 2020. David’s visit to Scarborough Samaritans in Trafalgar Street West will be preceded by a visit to the Bridlington branch and followed by a trek to the Northallerton branch. He is aiming to raise £100,000 in sponsorship and recruit 1,000 new volunteers. He said: “I was inspired to undertake the walk about five or six years ago by a Samaritan who travelled around on his motorbike with huge panniers and high-vis clothing. He was going around all the branches, raising awareness”. Preferring to walk rather than cycle, David planned his route but kept putting it off. “For a few years, I have thought maybe this year, maybe next year. Then last year I thought, if I am ever going to do it, I need to do it soon as I’m not getting any younger and I have a bit more time now. There is also the issue of mental-health problems and increasing

suicides. I felt compelled to do it sooner rather than later”. If readers would like to join him for part of the walk they would be welcome. The schedule can be found at the walk website www.thelisteningwalk.co.uk where details of how to donate either to the Samaritans or to the estimated £35,000 that the walk will cost can be found. The walk is being supported by a team of volunteers. Businesses and individuals have donated money or products. * By coincidence, another Samaritan is doing a similar venture, but on a pushbike. Steve Smith is cycling from Sussex, where he lives, to Shetland, visiting every branch in between. He did a shift at the Scarborough branch on Wednesday before continuing north. The Samaritans can be contacted 24 hours a day, every day of the year by phone on 116123 (calls are free) and by email to jo@samaritans.org.

Health and wellbeing day in Filey FILEY Surgery and its patientparticipation group are organising a self-care health day at the Evron Centre on 10 May, from 11am-3pm. Local organisations and services offering help and advice on self-help healthrelated issues will be represented.

The town will host the climax of the women’s race at 12.44pm and the third stage of the men’s race at 5.52pm.

Starlight walks, Residents fight council Rockies trek and quiz plan to fell trees for hospice

Practising for the Starlight at Scampston walks

STARLIGHT at Scampston is set to bring people of all ages together to support Saint Catherine’s. Sponsored walks and free family activities will take place in the beautiful grounds of Scampston Hall on 11 May. The one-mile family-friendly Enchanted Walk at 5.30pm will be followed by the three-mile Starlight Walk at 7.30pm, with fun activities and surprises along the way. Fancy dress is encouraged. Tickets cost £12 for adults, £5 for children and £25 for families. The price includes a magic wand. The free family activities, starting at 2pm, are children’s fairground rides, bouncy castles, face painting, food vendors, craft stalls and performing-arts workshops from PQA, football from Hawkes Health, dancing from LoveFit Dance, magic acts and shows. Starlight at Scampston is sponsored by North Yorkshire Law and Town and Country Fires. * Two pals will take their 40year friendship to new heights when they trek the Canadian Rockies in aid of the hospice. Shop assistant Susan Ackrill, 64, of Filey, and ice-cream Three of the Filey fundraisers

parlour owner Julie Bagley, 62, from Gristhorpe, will do it from 22-30 June next year. Julie, who will celebrate her birthday during the trek, said they are looking forward to spending lots of time together walking, chatting and sharing a tent. She was spurred on to sign up after loved ones were cared for at Saint Catherine’s. She said: “Everyone has been touched in some way by the hospice. The support they give to families as well as patients is amazing”. Susan registered to do the Atlas mountains trek for the hospice last year but injured her leg and couldn't go. She said: “As soon as this one came out, I knew I wanted to do it. I wanted to do something out of my comfort zone”. To sign up for the above events, visit www.saintcatherines. org.uk or ring 378406. Those who sign up for more than one event get 20% off. * A pie-and-pea quiz at Charlotte’s of Filey, organised by the town’s fundraising group, raised £345 for patient care. “It was very well attended and great fun”, said hospice fundraiser Nicky Grunwell, adding that another would be held later in the year. She thanked Charlotte’s f o r donating the food and Trevor Pritchard for doing the quiz. To get involved in

the group, or hold an event in aid of Saint Catherine’s, ring 378406. * A Scarborough woman has won £1,500 in the hospice lottery. Lesley Taylor of Nansen Street, who has been playing for 20 years, said she was “dumbfounded”. Lesley, 74, managed the staff restaurant at Tesco in Westwood before retiring. “I’d had a couple of £10 and £25 wins before, but nothing like this”, she said. “When I got the call, the lady said ‘Are you sitting down?’ I thought it was wonderful. It shows it’s worth persevering with things”. Lesley’s husband Bob was cared for by Saint Catherine’s, as a day patient and an inpatient, before he passed away at home in 2017. Lesley says the hospice’s home-care team was “wonderful – some of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. They were like family and nothing was too much trouble. Doing the lottery supports all that. It’s such a small amount each week, not even the price of a coffee in town. It feels like I’m doing my bit towards helping people. You can’t put a price on care and you never know when you might need it”. Lesley said she would probably put her winnings towards a holiday. The lottery costs £2 a week, with weekly cash prizes of £10, £25, £50, £200 and £1,500, with a rollover of up to £20,000. A pie night at the aptly-named Piebald Inn in Hunmanby on 10 May will raise money for the hospice. It costs £20 for two courses and will feature a raffle and bottle game

A GROUP of angry residents is standing between chainsaws and the trees they are aimed at, in a leafy suburban street in Scarborough. The county council wants to fell three trees which it says are stressed, diseased or disturbing the pavement with their roots. A fourth one has already been removed. Aged 35-40 years, they are in Westbourne Park, a U-shaped street off Seamer Road. Posters have been stapled to them, stating the authority’s intention. A resident says: “We remember how in December 2013 they felled a tree outside No 1 without going through the correct procedure, ostensibly because it was damaging the drains. Over five years on, they have not even ground out the stump, let alone dug up the path to repair the drain. They never did plant a replacement”. The county council has a statutory duty to preserve and enhance the street, as it is in a conservation area, the

residents have pointed out. The authority says it is proposing to replace the trees - but elsewhere, not where they stand. “If this is the case, it is not good enough”, a resident says. “It fails to preserve or enhance the conservation area. Street trees are good for people’s wellbeing and help with the carbon problem”. Richard Marr of the county council’s highways department met residents for a walking tour of the street, followed

One of the threatened trees, dominating the street

by a meeting in the nearby St James’s church hall. The assembly included David Malone, the Green Party candidate at the parliamentary election; two Labour councillors who were hoping to be re-elected in yesterday’s borough elections, Liz Colling and Mark Gordon; and Dilys Cluer of the Green Party, who was standing down. Liz Colling is the county councillor for that division.

Finance firm wins award for going above and beyond A FINANCE firm in Scarborough has won an award for going above and beyond the call of duty. Peace of Mind Financial Solutions in Falsgrave Road was presented with the Nat West Local Hero mortgage award at a celebratory dinner at Birmingham town hall. The awards recognise firms that have exceeded normal expectations to put the customer and their local community at the heart of everything they do. Peace of Mind managing director Nigel Wood says: “This is the most important award

we have ever won as it really goes to the heart of what the business is about. Our culture is very much about being a part of the local community and putting something back into the area”. He adds: “We are proud, but humbled, to receive this award as it is recognition from our peers and business partners that has been instrumental in us being presented with it. “In our business, the client is king”, says Nigel. “This is something we take very seriously - and what the business is built upon”.

‘Let them eat cake’, say Young and old go head autism event organisers to head over tea MONEY and awareness were raised at an autism event at More Than Books, aka Eastfield library. It was organised by Claire Garton, a part-time lecturer in autism awareness who was fundraising on behalf of the National Autistic Society, during its world autism awareness week. Claire is secretary of Yorkshire Coast Families and works for North Yorkshire Youth (NYY), a charity which works with youth projects across the county; its headquarters are in Thirsk. In September, NYY introduced a youth-mentoring scheme alongside youth clubs in Eastfield and Filey. Claire said: “I decided to try and involve the young people of the Eastfield club in a community project, and as I have fundraised before during this event, I thought it would be a good idea. Having met with Sharon Houghton at the library, as they are trying to make libraries more autism friendly, we decided to hold it there”. A raffle raised £180 for the society with prizes donated by businesses in Filey, where Claire lives. A further £78 was raised for an

YOUNG and not-so-young met at an inter-generational afternoon cream tea at the University Training College in Scarborough. Thirty-two members of Scarborough and district Age UK, including chief executive Julie Macey-Hewitt, converged on the UTC for tea, cake and conversation. “The idea was twofold really”, commented Alison Easton, who organises intergenerational work for Age UK. “The UTC wanted to promote relationships with the community and at the same time provide some of our befriending clients and service users with a well-deserved treat and an insight into the college and its students. “All the students were absolutely fantastic and were so mature and such good communicators”, Alison said. “They made the afternoon a

development worker Ian Kirchner-Waines and young leader Kara Atkin. The cakes were made by various volunteers at the youth club and Claire’s friends.

Lifeboat fundraisers do a Tour de Yorkshire equivalent SCARBOROUGH RNLI fundraisers are getting excited about the Tour de Yorkshire coming back on 4 May. Starting at 11am, they plan to cycle the distance of the stage-three route – 84 miles or 135km – on two static bikes on the lifeboat station forecourt (inside if wet). They are inviting supporters to join in as part of the RNLI’s national May Day fundraising

campaign, which runs throughout the month. They can cycle as little or as much as they like. If they aren’t out on a shout, both of Scarborough’s lifeboats will be bobbing about in the sea when the women and men arrive, several hours apart. High tide is at 3.51pm. The town will host the climax of the women’s race at 12.44pm and the end of the third stage of

To book, ring 07719 016992. * A model-boat exhibition at the lifeboathouse featured over 40 boats including lifeboats belonging to enthusiasts from various parts of the country. * A French evening at Lazenby’s bistro in York Place raised £195 for Scarborough RNLI.

Alison described the occasion as “a big success”, adding that students made and fitted hanging basket brackets for Age UK service users at their homes. The students, aged 14-18, are mostly studying engineering. The UTC, in Ashburn Road, is

an industry-orientated school designed for ambitious young people who have aspirations to become innovators.

Community reaps rewards of young people’s activity programme AROUND 200 people attended an Easter gala at Gallows Close Centre in Barrowcliff, Scarborough. They were mostly family and friends of the children who are benefiting from a grant of over £50,000 from the Essential Life Skills Fund. The grant, awarded in July 2018, helped the centre to launch a young people’s activity programme which has given local children opportunities to do a range of affordable activities. They include gymnastics, karate, street dance, cheerleading, football, bushcraft, youth clubs and community events such as the Easter gala, a summer fair, Halloween discos and Christmas parties. Many involved local company Hidden Horizons. The programme is aimed at helping low-income families in the Barrowcliff, Northstead, Newlands and Newby areas. Children learn invaluable social skills and build selfconfidence, which reduces isolation, raises aspirations and reduces anti-social behaviour. Kimmie Avison, who runs the centre, says: “These are the kind of skills which will help carry them through life and gain certificates as well as other opportunities to further gain proficiency in their chosen activity”. Certificates

were presented at the gala. The children did a range of performances to show what they had been learning since the project started in September. Kimmie said: “They were absolutely amazing and we are super proud of what they have achieved so far. Another great factor is the participation of the parents this year. It is an absolute pleasure to work with the children and parents. The instructors have worked incredibly hard and the project has proved a great success, with around 80 children participating on a weekly basis. We will be seeking additional funding to continue the programme”. The centre’s instructors are Simon Shaw (Higashi karate), Robbie Hawkes (fitness and football coaching), Ewa Graczyk (dance, gymnastics and cheerleading), Richard McGuinn (Hidden Horizons)

and Sophea Sheader, Kendra Davies, Alison Taylor and Ryan Holt (group activity leaders). Gallows Close Centre is a non-profit, self-funded organisation which is reliant on local volunteers to help run a range of day-to-day activities and fundraising events. The centre is hired out to various organisations. “Our hub offers a safe, warm, vibrant and friendly environment in an area classed as being high in deprivation”, Kimmie says. “Several funders recognising the good provision we offer have given pots of funding which has enabled us to create a wide range of activities and opportunities for young people, vulnerable adults and unemployed people”. To find out more about any of the centre activities, ring 378102 or email gallowsclosecentre@gmail. com. Spaces are available in all the classes.

Death cafe at theatre A death cafe is to be held at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough on 15 May, from 11am-noon. Entitled Dead Good Cake ‘n’ Chat, and subtitled We need to talk about death and dying, it will be hosted by Chris Dudzinska of Last Wishes Funerals. With more and more people talking openly about death and dying, it is an opportunity for an informal chat in a relaxed environment, says Chris. “It is not a bereavement group, but a chance to speak freely about any aspects of death or dying, whether good or not quite

so good. We hope, between us, to answer questions and help the discussion around what we would like at the end – before the end. Thinking about the inevitable in advance ensures good preparation for us and our families, and better choices to suit our individual needs”, Chris says. Information and advice on power of attorney, wills, advanced care planning, palliative care etc will be available from 10.30am to 12.30pm. No charge will be made for admission. The SJT cafe will be open.

Council publishes funeral guide SCARBOROUGH Council has published a 32-page guide to the bereavement services it offers at Woodlands cemetery and crematorium. The step-by-step booklet is designed to inform people wanting to arrange their own funeral, to give relatives peace of mind and guide bereaved families through the various options available after the loss of a loved one. The council’s bereavement services manager, Michael Broadley, said: “The process of making funeral arrangements for you or a loved one who has just died can be a daunting process and is often compounded by the fact that many people find the subject of planning for their death

something they’d rather not talk about. “Alongside the new guide, our team can help make the process more approachable by offering advice, care and practical information to allow you to make informed decisions”. The guide features details of facilities, funeral service options, burials, cremations, memorials, florists, funeral directors, legal experts and venues and caterers for postfuneral receptions. It is available to view and download at www. s c a r b o r o u g h . g o v. u k / bereavementservices. For a printed copy, ring 372652 or 354393 or email bereavement. services@scarborough.gov.uk or visit the crematorium office.

It’s back to the 1920s for Futureworks FUTUREWORKS NY will celebrate the 1920s in style this summer. The organisation, based at the Street in Scarborough, is organising a one-off, red-carpet awards evening with a Roaring 1920s theme at the Royal Hotel on 19 July. FNY provides personalised support and guidance to people wanting to improve their lives, working with local organisations and services supporting young adults aged 14 upwards. FNY learners will be responsible for the event, from creating the menu and arranging the awards ceremony to the entertainment

and table settings. Director Sarah Thornton said: “This is an excellent chance for our young adults to organise an event which will show the community what they are capable of achieving. “All our learners have challenging backgrounds and most have never attended a dinner event or prom. This is an opportunity for them to get dressed up for the evening and organise a special event that everyone can enjoy. “The evening will be an invitation-only event for a select number of guests, and there will be prizes to be won”.

Pair’s payback time for hospital’s cancer services A black-tie charity gala raised thousands of pounds for cancer care at Scarborough Hospital. Over 100 people attended the fundraiser, at the Rugby Club in February. Most were family and friends of organisers Annette Reid and Deanna Leng. The entertainment was provided by local band Grand Theft Audio. Prizes donated by local businesses were raffled and auctioned. The best one was a Mini Cooper for a weekend, courtesy of Cooper York BMW. The £3,600 raised has been shared equally between three hospital departments which provided care and support to Annette and Deanne during their breast-cancer treatment in 2014/15. The chemotherapy unit needs new chairs that cost £1,000 and are more comfortable and take up less space than the existing ones. The hair salon always needs new wigs, caps and accessories. The third cheque

Cheque mates, L-R, Annette Reid, Deanna Leng, Janet Penny, Rachel Morris and Maya Liversidge (to order photos ring 353597)

for £1,200 went to the breastcare team, towards the cost of its new procedure for lumpectomies. Annette and Deanne met in 2015 at the breast-cancer support group organised by the breast-care team. The group meets at the Friends Meeting House on the first Friday in March, June, September and December. It offers a vital opportunity for anyone diagnosed with primary breast

cancer to talk to others in a friendly and informal setting, with a breast-care nurse on hand to offer help and advice. The pair became good friends and wanted to give something back to the hospital that had given them such excellent care. They organised a similar event in February 2017, raising £2,750. “This year’s exceeded all expectations”, say Annette and Deanne, who are already

planning a third fundraiser. “We would like to thank all who attended for their generosity and all the local businesses who kindly donated raffle and auction prizes”. They returned to the hospital to hand over the money and are pictured with chemotherapy nurse Rachel Morris, hairdresser and wig consultant Janet Penny and community fundraiser Maya Liversidge. Janet’s main job is providing wigs for chemotherapy and alopecia patients. “We both got wigs from Janet”, says Deanne. Scarborough Hospital is unusual in that it is the only one with a hair salon in a large area, including York and Hull. The salon has been there for at least 14 years, since Janet, a former breast-cancer patient, took over. Wigs are ordered and can be collected within a few days. Rachel is one of 50 NHS staff members doing the Three Peaks challenge on 22 June, with family members.

Charity shop has 100 proms dresses A hundred proms dresses, many worth £200 to £300 each, have been donated to a Scarborough charity shop. They are on now on sale, starting at a fiver apiece, at Ourco in Northway. They were donated by Georgia Scott of Dresses to Dreams, to raise money for Sash, a youth homelessness charity. The proceeds will be shared equally between Ourco and Sash. The dresses come in various styles, colours and sizes, ranging from four to 20. Georgia particularly wanted the dresses to go to people who can’t usually afford such clothing. Schools were asked to offer vouchers to pupils who they felt would benefit from a free proms dress. It isn’t the first time Ourco has helped raise money for Sash. Last year, Ourco donated £1,000 for Sash to take 14 young people to Peat Rigg outdoor adventure centre at Cropton, near Pickering. Sash, which is based at Yorkshire business centre in Auborough Street, held a tombola at Ourco at Christmas. Sash helps people aged 16-25 who are facing homelessness across North and East

Yorkshire and in York. “We give vulnerable young people a safe and stable place to stay when they have nowhere else to go”, says the charity’s young-persons coordinator, Tiff Wilkey. Sash, which stands for Safe and Sound Homes, doesn’t run a hostel or own property. Volunteer hosts offer a spare room in their home. Sash services are as much about supporting young people to resolve the problems which have led to them becoming homeless as they are about putting a roof over their head. Those in need are referred by local authorities and other partner agencies.

Library wins £18,900 from national lottery Scooters parked in Castle Road

Huge turnout for town’s scooter rally THE unmistakeable sound and smell of two-stroke engines filled the air during a national scooter rally in Scarborough over the Easter weekend. Hundreds of colourful Vespas, Lambrettas and other makes were seen around the town, boosting the local economy. On the Saturday, scooters formed a long line down the full length of the approach road to the Spa, which was closed off to other vehicles. It was a spectacle of chrome, trick paintwork and fancy engineering, glittering in the bright sun. Almost as long was the queue

for a big parts fair with a trade and custom show in the Spa Grand Hall. On sale was everything from scooters and tyres to oil, clothing, CDs, vinyl, magazines and badges. The second longest queue was probably at the Spa bar, whose staff were kept busy most of the weekend. The average age of the scooter drivers and spectators was probably about 50, reflecting the sub-culture’s 1960s heyday. One of the marshals commented that he thought it was the busiest scooter rally he’d ever seen in Scarborough. The Scarborough branch of the

Vespa Club of Great Britain, aka the Atoms, raised £1,440 for the poppy appeal. Members adapted the club’s cog-shaped logo, replacing the central image with a poppy and the legend ‘Lest we forget’, for a sticker which was sold for 50p. A club raffle in Sunderland in November added to the total. Club treasurer Michael Palethorpe and other members presented a cheque to British Legion branch standard bearer Bill Parker, vice-chair Ian Temple, appeal coordinator Sheila Miller and committee member Ros Fox at the scooter rally.

Various gigs around town appealed to the scooter fraternity. Skandals packed the Albert, the Small Fakers, Skatuesques and the Superlatives played at the Spa and the 5:15s had their audience dancing as soon as they started at Apollo. The York fivepiece performed short, sharp mod classics by the Jam, the Who, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, etc. Down at the Tube Station at Midnight became Down at Scarborough Harbour. Inexplicably, the headline act, Goldray, turned up but pulled out and left almost immediately.

THE volunteers and trustees at Newby & Scalby Community Library are celebrating a national lottery win of £18,900 as part of this year’s People’s Projects. Isobel Nixon, who chairs the trustees, said: “We are so grateful to all the people who voted for our project, which we called Growing our Community. “It will enable us to create a community garden on the patch of land behind the library for all our customers to enjoy and we can’t wait to get started. We have been touched by some of the messages of support we’ve received from all sorts of people who have told us what the library means to them, thanking us for keeping it open. We would like to thank all the readers of Scarborough Review who got behind us”.

The most unusual message of support came from someone who has moved away from Yorkshire. They promised 11 votes from their family as, many years ago as a child, they accidentally broke a library window by kicking stones and had felt guilty ever since. Voting for the project gave them an opportunity to make amends. The trustees’ aim for the new garden is that it will be a calm, healing space to help combat loneliness. People will be able to connect with nature, recharge their batteries and meet others. Children will have their curiosity encouraged and imaginations fired. The trustees will keep supporters updated as they build paths, install seating and an outdoor classroom, create a wildlife area and fairy garden and begin planting.

Gold medal for the Yorkshire Pelargonium and Geranium Society VOLUNTEERS from the Yorkshire Pelargonium and Geranium Society are celebrating a highly successful outing to Harrogate Spring Flower Show by being awarded a Premier Gold Medal for their display of heritage plants. Group members have been working on their project since early spring and are delighted that all the hard work has paid off. Show Secretary, Brian Boyes, explained that it has been a difficult plant growing season with the very cold weather early on followed by soaring temperatures. “This is certainly not ideal

conditions”, he said, “but our experienced volunteers have risen to the challenge and we are really pleased that the judges liked our display.” The group constructed a Victorian style conservatory to display their plants creating a feeling of nostalgia and a sense of theatre which won universal praise from visitors to the show. Yorkshire Pelargonium and Geranium Society is based in Scarborough and meets once a month on a Sunday afternoon in Seamer to listen to talks and demonstrations about gardening topics across a range

of subjects. The next meeting will be held on May 19 at Seamer Memorial Hall and will be a talk by Roger Burnett on Highlights of the recent Harrogate Spring Show.The Group also organises an annual flower show which, this year, will be held on Sunday June 16th at Hunmanby Community Centre.

THE Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers recently presented £2,000 to local good causes. Half was raised at the Camra beer and cider festival at the Spa. Members ran a tombola and challenged visitors to find the ‘treasure’ on a board, reaping £1,000 for the Rainbow Centre. Club spokesman Peter Howgate said: “There is a lot of local goodwill for the Rainbow Centre, which helps, but goodwill does not pay the bills. So it was no surprise that our members said what a pleasure it was to raise money for the lovely volunteers and staff”. Rainbow Centre Trish Kinsella added: “As a local charity, we are very reliant on the support of individuals, families and organisations to enable us to provide relevant and practical support to those who need our help”. The club gave another £1,000 to the local Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, from the proceeds of a festive project. Making and selling hand-made Christmas reindeer was the

brain-child of club member Tom Potter. Hundreds were sold from 14 locations around town. The money will be spent on new two-person tents, rucksacks and other equipment for use by Sixth Form College students. Club president Tony Stevens said: “This is essential for many students to allow them to participate as the cost of completing the award is significant. Employers really rate the gold award, putting it above all other national achievements in its ability to demonstrate the skills they are after. The college has an excellent record of delivering the award continually since its creation in 1973”. James Drury of the college said students faced “an extremely challenging expedition that enables them to develop a wide range of skills. The kit we have been able to purchase is essential safety gear, without which the adventure of four tough days in often mountainous conditions simply would not happen”.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

www.thescarboroughreview.com

By Joe Coates

I was recently wondering, “What is my absolute favourite thing about Scarborough?” I soon realised. It’s “the sea”. Go to North Bay a hundred times and it’s different every time: big waves, little waves, sea spray, white seagulls, rugged rocks, sometimes no rocks in view, boats, horizon, clouds, grey skies, blue skies, Disney sunset skies, surfers, paddlers, swimmers, children splashing in the water, leaping over the waves…. Many thanks to Cynth Everett, local photographer, for permission to use her wonderful photos of the big waves at North Bay, and the Beasts from the East.

BEASTS FROM THE EAST

THERE had been a lot of rough seas with big waves. To see them, you really need to be a safe distance. Grandpa and Freddie stood up the slopes above statue Freddie at North Bay. Cousin Zinzi was with them today. She loved the sea. There were lots of walkers enjoying the excitement, feeling the sea spray so closely, keeping safe and being careful, watching as the sea rippled across the path towards their shoes. Jellyfish

“Keep looking!”………. “What’s that?” “It’s a tower of water! It’s a sea monster from the depths of the North Sea. trying to leap over the barrier? No! It was a sea giraffe! It was staring at me!” And so Grandpa, Freddie and The waves seemed to quieten, and then surge in again, crashing against the sea wall, chasing back and crashing against the next wave coming in. This was awesome! “There’s a giant mouse, trying to creep under the railings!” shrieked Zinzi … several minutes later…“And there’s a giant cat, looking for the mouse! Too late! It was behind you! Oh

Giraffe

The crashing big waves were leaping high above the barriers, and seemed to hover in the air for a moment before splashing down on to the footpaths and sometimes even on to the road. It was Freddie who spotted the first one. “Grandpa! Did you see that? It’s a beast from the east. It’s in the waves!” “Where?” said Grandpa. “Too late!” said Freddie. “You only get a moment, then it’s gone.” “What was it, Freddie?” “Not sure! It looked like a giant jellyfish! Keep looking!” Zinzi kept their eyes fixed on the big waves as they crashed against the sea wall, splashing upwards, higher and higher, hovering for a moment and then splashing down. They were looking for the Beasts from the East. “Saw it!” said Grandpa. “It was a massive dog, staring at the Sands Development. Beasts from the East!” Freddie beamed. This was great fun. Mouse

East.” “I’ve enjoyed this myself. Sorry though, we have to go home now. Give a wave to Freddie…. Freddie!” Freddie waved at Freddie. Zinzi waved at the waves! The three wandered wearily along, all struck by the awesomeness of what they had just seen. “Can we come again some time please?” Grandpa replied,“I have a tide table book. Maybe we could come one evening when it’s dark. There may be more Beasts from the East.” Indeed there were. It was an exciting evening. The beasts were still coming. A sea dragon and a massive sea hamster. Don’t worry Scarborough! These beasts always get stopped at the wall and the barriers. Sleep easily in your beds! We need to always remember the safety issues when the sea is pounding in. Yes, it’s a wonderful sight and experience to be so close to something so awesome. We’ve had too many tragedies over the years though, and our thoughts and prayers go out to those families affected by tragedy from the sea. © joecoates,2019 www.northbaytales.com

THE cliff lift by the Grand Hotel in Scarborough will celebrate National Cliff Railway day on 11 May. Central Tramway Company staff will wear Victorian costumes and offer treats to children, from 9.30am to 4.45pm. Two time-travelling talks will begin at the upper station

at 10am and 2pm and end at the Seastrand café, formerly the bottom station of the St Nicholas cliff lift. Taking visitors on a journey back in time to the south bay in 1881, the talks will explain why funiculars were built at this pivotal point in British seaside history. Visitors in Victorian costume

will be able to travel for free. The tram company has linked up with Scarborough Museums Trust, which is hosting music, talks and activities at Woodend from 10am-1pm and 2-4pm. Children will be able to build a model and draw trams. Operations manager Andrew Martin explained: “Cliff Railway Day is a celebration of the fantastic Victorian engineering that has lasted over a century here in Scarborough. We are proud of our connections to other cliff railways around the country and wanted to join with them for a day to recognise this achievement”. * Places for the talks are free but limited and must be booked by emailing centraltramwaycompany@ gmail.com.

Easter walk of witness AROUND 300 Christians from several churches and denominations took part in the annual Walk of Witness in Scarborough on Good Friday. Organised by Churches Together in Scarborough, the walk began at Alma Square with a welcome from Rev Richard Walker, vicar of St Mary’s with Holy Apostles and chair of Churches Together. The walkers stopped outside the Brunswick Centre before continuing down the pedestrian precinct, turning

left into St Thomas Street, right at the roundabout and up Castle Road to the castle, where a short period of reflection and worship was led by Geoff Bowell of Scarborough Christian Fellowship. Scenes from the Passion were enacted at the three stages, with drama, readings and singing. At the head of the walk, a solitary drum beat was sounded by a member of the local Salvation Army band and

two men carried a wooden cross. “Once again, the Walk of Witness was very much appreciated”, said one of the participants, Joe Coates. “It is Churches Together’s biggest event, a united witness to the importance of the events of Good Friday and church unity. Team director Anita Hill of Ebenezer Baptist Church was delighted with the success of such an important event”.

Curious Roots BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

IN spit of April’s freakish hailstones, cherry, pear and apple trees managed to hang on to their blossom. But soon a new wave of white will spread across the countryside. May belongs to the hawthorn, the tree that opens the door into summer. Among its new leaves are clusters of white dots: tiny may buds waiting to open. Hawthorn branches become packed with creamy flowers, whose unique scent is particularly heady on a sunny day. The tree known as mayflower, or simply may, is loaded with folklore and superstition. In May garlands it guarded against sorcery, and its flowering branches gave similar protection when hung over cottage doors. Its influence was beneficial — but only when kept outside. Hawthorn blossom was never brought indoors, because death would follow it over the threshold. There was a fear of bringing in white flowers, and also the tree’s association with old magic. Hawthorn was a tree of ancient goddesses, and it kept its mythical status when they were long forgotten. Sacred thorns guarded healing wells and other ancient sites, and these were never cut down for fear of offending the old gods. Some solitary old hawthorns became landmarks, mentioned in charters. Most importantly, strong hawthorn hedges kept animals in their pasture, while also protecting stock against ill-wishing. Yet, however glamorous, the hawthorn will have competition. In May horse chestnuts look stunning, with spires of waxy flowers studded among bright leaves. Rowan trees bear posies of thick, clotted cream; elders, clusters of sparkling white. Hollies are dotted with tiny, greenish-white flowers, and roadside verges become drifts of cow parsley, each tall stem bearing a parasol of white lace.

In the May-time woods there are lakes of blue. The narrow, shiny leaves of our native bluebell pack close together, creating a shimmering backdrop for the purplishblue bells with their heady scent and elfin appearance. Almost half of our ancient bluebell woods have been lost but the ones that remain are well loved and protected. So enjoy the magic of a sundappled glade filled with bluebells — but please don’t pick them, or crush their leaves. The last trees to leaf are linked in a saying about summer rain: “Oak before ash, sign of a splash. Ash before oak, sign of a soak.” The two respond to different things. The oak needs temperatures to rise before leaves and catkins froth from its buds, but it’s increasing daylight that wakes up the ash. To complicate matters, ash trees produce clusters of dark purplish flowers before the leaves appear. But when testing the old saying it’s leaves that count — look for an oak and ash that are not too far apart. Hidden among all the fresh green leaves are birds, sitting tight to keep their eggs warm. Others already have youngsters to feed. Parent birds do their best to keep eggs and young safe from predators. Starlings nest in the space underneath roof tiles, greenfinches in dense evergreens. The domed nests of long-tailed tits are in the centre of gorse bushes. Blackbirds are tucked away

in thick hedges. Robins aren’t fussy — an old car engine, or a jacket hanging in a shed will do. Swallows like a ledge in an outhouse or barn, while house martins build under eaves: if they are nesting on your property, then folklore promises you good luck. Reed warblers, meadow pipits and dunnocks face a special threat. Female cuckoos search out their nests, and lay one egg in each. The young cuckoo hatches first and pushes the other eggs over the side. The small foster parents will struggle to feed “their” huge chick, but it’s not all one sided. The cuckoo’s migrant life is precarious, and its numbers continue to decline. Despite increasing daylight and spells of brilliant sunshine, there’s often a nip in the air on the coast. It’s not unusual for May, the month that’s merry but not necessarily mild. At this point in the year the sea is still very cold, chilling the wind as it sweeps across it. And May 11 to 14 is the period of the “ice saints” — Mamertus, Pancras, Servatius and Boniface — who can conjure up a cold spell and even some frost. But really, we’re all wondering about the coming months. Along with the oak and ash, folklore offers another clue on May 25. This is St Urban’s Day, when the weather shows the trend for summer. And remember: don’t cast a clout till May be out, and if you change in June, that’ll probably be too soon.

AN appeal at Bernard’s undertakers led to 50 Easter eggs being donated to Scarborough’s Rainbow Centre. They were donated by customers, members of the public and the business.

Gardening Inspiration Everywhere! THE Harrogate Spring Flower Show has been taking centre stage in Harrogate recently and has provided gardening inspiration for the thousands of visitors who have passed through the gates. Traditional stands of hostas have rubbed shoulders with Mediterranean herbs, heaven scented lilies, unusual perennials and colourful chrysanthemums. It’s been a feast for all the senses but, just as important for this Muck and Magic gardener, the show is always an opportunity to discover plants that I’ve never come across before and to learn how to display them in our Yorkshire gardens. There were many gold awards made but the prize “best in show” title this spring went to an exquisite display of alpines and woodland plants from Scottish nursery Kevock. This recreation of a small rock garden was filled to bursting with an abundance of tiny plants all being shown off to their very best. And this got me thinking. There were some very

unusual plants as you would expect but many of the plants are readily available and would be very suitable for growing in our Scarborough gardens. Tiny species of primula were growing side by side with dogs tooth violets, alpine phlox, Lewisias, trilliums and woodland like anemones. Miniature bulbs of daffodils were mingled in amongst feathery pasque flowers and the blue of the Corydalis “Kingfisher” stood out in amongst yellow trollius ( large round buttercups with¡ attitude!) and leucojeums (summer snowdrops on long

arching stems)! This alpine stand was an absolute delight and is easily recreated in a stone trough, an old sink, or a rockery if you are lucky enough to have one. Just make sure that the compost you use has plenty of added grit for good drainage and a good top covering of a gritty mulch once you have finished planting. This will help keep rain water away from the neck of the plant and prolong the life of your plants. The next meeting of Muck and Magic Garden Club will take place on Monday May 13th at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine, Scarborough beginning at 7pm. Our speaker this month is Julian Davies from Stockbridge Research Station and he is an expert on composts and growing media. So, if you have a question about the type of compost you are using or even about peat free composts and how efficient they are, this is the meeting for you. All welcome and more details from muckandmagic@hotmail. com Happy Gardening!

Pain and how to manage it WWW.TERRYANNE.COM

PAIN is an uncomfortable, unpleasant physical feeling as well as an emotional experience. The pain is telling us something is untoward within our body, often caused by an injury or an illness. Nerves in the damaged part of the body send warning signals to the brain, which responds by making us feel the pain and discomfort. This is when one needs to check with a doctor what is going on. Prescription drugs can be prescribed to help alleviate the pain when appropriate and other methods and techniques can be used too. Consider complementary therapies like hypnotherapy, reflexology or acupuncture. I have been assisting clients with pain management utilising hypnotherapy for 21 years. Often releasing stress, tension and blocked emotions helps considerably to reduce the painful symptoms. Also reframing traumatic

BY TERRY ANNE

experiences helps relieve the pain too. A hypnotherapist can also teach deep breathing techniques to be used when pain is causing unpleasantness. Reducing stress in your life as much as possible will reduce pain so it does not feel so intense. A reflexologist can work on your feet, to connect with the parts of the body that are experiencing pain and release blockages to alleviate the problems. Similarly acupuncture with the use of needles can release blocked energy and therefore help the person be free of pain. Exercising regularly releases endorphins within the body which will also boost chronic pain relief. Likewise laughter similarly reduces the endorphins aiding relief from pain. Implement an exercise routine which may take in walking or swimming or check out classes in the area to exercise with others. Laughter

classes are also available. Have fun whilst getting better. Reduce alcohol intake, which can worsen sleep problems. A goodnights sleep is vital for good health especially when experiencing pain issues. Join a support group or ask to be referred to a pain management clinic to learn techniques to help live your life painfree. Warm up aching joints or cool joints down according to the injury and pain experienced and what has been advised by the medical profession. Get some sun on your body whenever possible. Read up on what essential oils will help you stay calm and relaxed. Lavender is a particular favourite of mine. I have it in a wheat bag, which can be warmed in the microwave to assist aching joints.

The four pillars of St Thomas’s Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology THE church of St Thomas the Martyr, with its two hospitals of the same name, stood to the North Street side of the old bar, near where the pancake bell is rung on Shrove Tuesday. In its time, the chapel was one of the most important buildings in the town. The charity it provided was essential to the lives of Scarborough’s vulnerable people.

The medieval sculptures have been looking down on churchgoers for centuries

Founded in the 12th century, St Thomas’s stood for 500 years before being destroyed in the civil war. The Order of Hermits of St Augustine ran St Thomas’s. They followed the Rule of St Augustine, a Christian theologian and philosopher from Numidia in north Africa. They observed the ancient custom of ringing a bell every morning and evening. The descendent of this bell has become the pancake bell which is still rung today on Shrove Tuesday; the original is in the care of Scarborough Museums Trust. Scarborough fell to the Parliamentarians on Shrove Tuesday in 1645. St Thomas’s was later demolished after sustaining irreparable damage during the castle siege. In his book A Place of Great Importance, about Scarborough in the civil wars, historian Jack Binns explains that a few of the octagonal pillars from St Thomas’s were used to repair St Mary’s Church. Over 400 years later, the four octagonal pillars are still in situ in St Mary’s, on the St Nicholas aisle. They are quite different to the Victorian classical columns of the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders that can be seen on many of the 19th century buildings around town. The capitals on the pillars from St Thomas’s are unique, their grotesques unconventional and

eccentric by today’s standards, with a genuine wit and dark humour from the Middle Ages. Above each pillar are carvings of figures that look like they’re being squeezed between the arches and the pillars that hold the weight of the church roof. This gives the illusion that the figures are being squeezed out like putty. The carvings appear to be an assortment of miserable human sinners being pressed too close for comfort to grotesques and chimeras; imaginary beasts from the medieval imagination. When they were carved, the Pope had tasked medieval sculptors to do their bit and “preach in stone to the illiterate”. As well as depicting scenes from scripture, sculptors were also encouraged to illustrate the consequences of sin and used their imaginations to shock the medieval congregation. More often than not in this era, these creative expressions are often mixed with dark humour. "Ful ofte in game a sooth I have herd saye" - Many a true word is spoken in jest, said Chaucer in 1390. The carvings depict chimeras, strange birds and weird horned creatures all smiling oddly among sculptures of tortured sinners who are not only scared out of their wits, but are also groaning under the weight of the holy church roof as it squeezes down on the poor souls, expunging their sin.

ScarboroughStrata BY ROGER OSBORNE

EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL material tells us a huge amount about the earth – what the earth is made of; how it was formed; how long it’s been around, and what is likely to happen to it. But until 1969 and the first moon landing we’ve had to rely on rocks that have come to us from elsewhere in the form of meteorites. Fortunately meteorites are full of incredibly interesting information and this month there is a chance to hear more about them. Meteorites mostly come from a part of the solar system called the asteroid belt. Around 1400 have been observed falling

and recovered, while more than fifty thousand have been discovered lying on the earth’s surface. Most are chondrites, which are made of the oldest material in the solar system – they are effectively the building blocks of the planets. Rarer meteorites are made of the same material as planetary crusts (achondrites). Entirely different are the iron meteorites, which are made from similar material to the magnetic core of planets like earth. On 16 May Tony Kearsley, meteorite expert and exanalyst at the Natural History

Museum will be talking about his work at Whitby Museum. And then on 25 May Tony will hold a workshop complete with hand specimens, microscope analysis and microprobes. See the museum website for details. Recent work has shown that some meteorites contain liquid water and complex organic substances. This has given impetus to the theory that chemicals for the formation of life could have come to the earth from elsewhere. Get along to Whitby Museum and find out. www.whitbymuseum.org.uk

These ugly beasts were also known as babewyn, an old French word for baboon, originally meaning ‘grimace’. Incidentally, the leader of the Parliamentary forces during the civil war, Oliver Cromwell, is reputed to have been abducted by his granddad’s monkey and taken onto the roof when he was a baby. The story has never been confirmed and is probably apocryphal. But it’s amusing to imagine the future Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England in an ape’s arms up among the gargoyles. I digress. Many of the carvings on the pillars of St Thomas’s in St Mary’s have been damaged, but whether intentionally or by accident is not known. Some of the grotesque 14th century carvings might have been a bit much for the congregation of St Mary’s in the 18th and 19th centuries, when a gentler approach to worship was favoured over the abrasive humour of the Middle Ages. Perhaps a little editing with hammer and chisel took place, to protect those with a more delicate demeanour. I have read that grotesques and chimeras were intended for the external walls of churches, to illustrate how these damned creatures were unable to enter the holy space inside. They suffered a tortured existence that made them twisted and deformed, leaving them with that trademark sickly grimace.

Perhaps the pillars originally stood at the entrance to St Thomas’s rather than inside? Many churches incorporate valuable items from chapels that were being demolished or had fallen into disrepair, becoming a repository or treasure trove, full of local culture and history. I find it interesting that this is how grotesques and chimeras found their way into church interiors. They came to repair and to be repaired, to be safeguarded and transformed from a grotesque into a cultural object with an added set of historical values, welcomed inside under the protective wing of the church. Like at St Mary’s. More of Dav’s ideas and artwork can be seen at a new art gallery. Gallery 6 at 6 Victoria Road is opening soon. DavWhiteArt.com

The faces are both comic and grotesque

This art show will stop at Platform 5 AN exhibition by five fine-art students can be seen at the old parcels office at the railway station in Scarborough from 17-20 May. The work will include painting, sculpture, photography and prints. It’s by two final-year students, Kirsty Farrow and Rachel

Grant, and three year-two students, Petra Ingham, Adam Kulscar and Meg Ricketts. They are on a BA honours course at Scarborough Tec. Kirsty says: “We have called the exhibition Platform 5 because there are five of us and it is going to be a platform on which we can celebrate our

individuality and look forward to our future as professional artists. It seemed fitting that we tie the event in with the station and the history of the building”. A preview will be held on 16 May, from 6-9pm. To attend, get ticket via https://platform5. eventbrite.co.uk.

WEA plans specialist course A course exploring the wide range of special educational needs and disabilities children may have in the Scarborough area is being planned. It will be tutored by Oluremi James under the auspices of the Workers’ Educational Association. A WEA spokesperson said: “Students will develop the knowledge and understanding that those

working in a school setting will need to support children with special educational needs and disabilities in a primary school, either in a paid capacity or as a volunteer. “They will work towards gaining a level-2 qualification which is suitable for those wishing to gain employment in a school, work as a volunteer or for those already working in a school setting with children

and young people”. The course will consist of 10 sessions of four and half hours each from 7 May to 23 July. For more information on this and other courses, visit www. wea.org.uk or ring 0300 303 3464. People in receipt of means-tested benefit may be entitled to attend for free. All courses are subject to minimum numbers.

Ex-Butlins worker back in Filey for folk festival Henry Priestman (photo by Mark McNulty)

ABOUT 150 acts have been booked to play at Filey’s annual folk festival, from 3-6 May. It aims to finish on a high with Henry Priestman and his band. Henry was chief songwriter of 1980s charters the Christians and the Yachts pop-punkers. He will be joined on stage by his Men of a Certain Age, namely Les Glover, Dez Allenby and Martin Peirson. Henry is regularly heard on Radio 2 and is returning to Filey for the first time since working at Butlins as a teenager. He will be playing at the 120-seat Evron Centre, the principal festival venue, where Grammy-winning mandolin maestro John Reischman and the Jaybirds can be seen on 3 May (£10). They hail from western Canada and California and play contemporary bluegrass, folk and country. The support act is Hull folk-rock band the Quicksilver Kings. Ranagri and Yan Tan Tether headline on Saturday night (£10), followed by the Trials of Cato with Crooked Weather on Sunday (£10) and the Henry Priestman Band on Monday (£12). No charge will be made for admission to the other gigs.

For the first time, the festival programme features afternoon concerts at the Evron Centre (£3). On the bill are Circa 15, Mila Lee, Rivers Johansson and the Deemed Unrighteous and Half Deaf Clatch on Saturday; and Hazjak, Jack Parker and Jesse Hutchinson on Sunday. Playing at the Masonic Hall are Katie Spencer, Henry Parker, Rum Doodle (£3, 1-5pm), Edwina Hayes, Jon Palmer & Wendy Ross and Carrie Martin (£10, 7-11pm) on 4 May; and, between noon and 11pm on 5 May, Julian Priestley, Suzy Bradley, Margaret & Tony Maughan, Ian Winter, Adam Davison, Emily River Thomson, the Arkut Brothers, James Millar, Paula Ryan, Ali Bullivent, Rebekah

The Station pub, aka Tophouse, will have a marquee in its beer garden for sessions and singarounds over three days. Town mayor Richard Walker will open the festival at 7.30pm on 3 May. This will be followed by music from Filey Folk Club regulars then the Alterego Ceilidh Band, Dogfinger and Rob Nicklas. The other venues are the Belle Vue, Bonhommes, Charlotte’s and Brontes Garage. A long list of the weekend performers can be found on the festival website. The Evron Centre shows start at 7.30pm. Tickets for all six shows cost £30 and can be bought at Filey Travel and the post office and by ringing 07808 871118. The folk festival was founded in 2004 by Robert Hartley, with help from Filey Folk Club regulars Alan and Poppy Scott-Hallgate. Performers span a broad range of styles including acoustic folk, blues, traditional, country, acoustic rock and pop. Filey Folk Club meets on the first Wednesday of every month at the Station pub.

Big white rabbit turns heads AN outsize white rabbit in a shop window turned a few heads during April. The Easter bunny was cradling a clutch of chocolate eggs in its warren at the Little Shop and Gallery. Run by Denise Alcock, the shop opened three and a half years ago, in the middle of

Ramshill, Scarborough. It sells gifts, accessories including Gisela Graham, hand-made jewellery such as St Justine, candles and essential oils from Shared Earth and Little Tree furniture as seen in Barker & Stonehouse.

The resident artist, with several paintings on the walls, is Denise’s sister, retired professional artist Ann Foster, who lives in Scarborough. The shop offers weekly or monthly payments without interest and gives reductions to care workers and free delivery in the Scarborough area.

Model-railway show at railway station A model-railway show is fast approaching platform 1 at Scarborough railway station. To be staged in the old parcels office on 4 May, from 10am-5pm, it will have 14 working layouts, including a new one. The Westminster Line is a fantasy look at London Underground with a political twist. Organisers Chris Martin and Iain Hale believe it is the only model-railway show taking place at a Network Rail station. The team behind the show is entering this year’s Great Model Rail Challenge competition, to be broadcast on Channel 5 later this year. The show will have three trade stands and refreshments. Admission will cost £5 for adults; children will be let in free with an adult. For details, ring Chris on 870166 or Iain on 864111.

Filey revs up for Steampunk weekend

THE Steampunk Filey Group is organising its third annual event, at various venues around the town from 17-19 May. The Crescent gardens will host a local-history talk on Dr Pritchard the poisoning adulterer will be given at the bandstand (10.30am Sat); a promenade and competition (4-5pm Sat); a meet-and-greet (all day Sun); and the Flying Squadron owl display (11am Sun). The Cabinet of Curiosities, an evening of frivolity, will be staged at the Evron Theatre (7.30pm Sat). It will feature Alice’s Night Circus, Ellie Etoile’s Burlesque and Professor Elemental, one of the judges of a costume competition. The Lighthouse cafe will host tea-duelling, a spectator sport involving tea and biscuits, on the Sunday. On the Saturday and Sunday, one-man band Old Time Rags

will perform around the town and merchandise, food and drink will be sold at the Evron Centre and Masonic Hall. Music will be played by Ants Trepreneur at Bonhommes (14pm Fri), the Station (7.30pm Fri) and Cobblers (1-4pm Sat). Cobblers will host a Steampunk quiz (8-10.30pm Fri). The Star pub will be an informal meeting point from noon on the Friday evening onwards, with information leaflets and local Steampunk volunteers. The weekend will feature tanks on the beach and a children’s colouring competition at the Boat Shed cafe. Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19thcentury industrial steampowered machinery.

Strange visitors to the seafront for sci-fi geekfest JUDGE DREDDS queued at a bus stop. Star Wars stormtroopers patrolled the promenade. Chewbacca strolled on the beach with a surfboard. A phalanx of Daleks lined up in the Spa. And Darth Vader, wookiees and other sci-fi characters strolled along Scarborough seafront. They were all there for the sixth annual Sci-Fi Scarborough geekfest, which grows in stature every year and often makes the national press. A photo of extravagantly attired participants waiting for a bus was printed in national newspapers and shown on Have I Got News For You.

Presenter Alan Johnson joked: “Disney defend their decision to get Ken Loach to direct the new Star Wars film” (the day before he appeared at Books by the Beach in Scarborough). The Spa was packed to the rafters with panels, retro, tabletop and video gaming, fan film theatre, a cosplay competition, a geek pub quiz, a trading hall, movie prop and model displays and children’s entertainment. Guests included Chris Rankin, who played Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films; Hugo Myatt, who was Treguard in Knightmare; Ross O’Hennessy, who was the Lord of Bones in

Game of Thrones; Andrew Lee Potts (Primeval Lucky Man, The Crown); Willie Coppen, who played Ewok in Return of the Jedi; Hattie Hayridge, who was Holly in Red Dwarf; Caroline Blakiston, who played Mon Mothma in Return of the Jedi; and Mark Dexter, who was Howard Rimmer in Red Dwarf. The whole thing was a spectacular success, attracting countless off-season visitors to the town. It’s a huge credit to organisers Steve Dickinson and Steve Monkman, and their small army of eager helpers. Next year’s will be on 4 and 5 April.

Michael Palin signs a copy of his book Erebus

The Egyptology professor, who has lived in Scarborough for 20 years, was on top form and set the bar high. Over the next four days, at various venues, audiences were treated to a wealth of fiction, science, history, music, cricket, politics - and laughter. An eclectic series of fascinating, funny and unpretentious speakers spoke about their latest books and projects. They were either on their own or in conversation with festival patron Helen Boaden, novelist Peter Guttridge, Financial Times crime-book reviewer Barry Forshaw or historian Allan Mallinson. Hard-working director Heather French, backed up by numerous volunteers, must have shed a few pounds over the festival, rushing everywhere yet never losing her sang-froid. Heather’s highlight was Tower of London yeoman, warder and ravenmaster Chris Skaife, who spoke about his life with the famous corvids and offered a peep into the tower’s rich heritage. Dressed in his black and red uniform (not the fancier £15,000 one), the exarmy beefeater said the tower has only seven ravens, which have to beware of predatory foxes. “TV and radio gardener Jim Buttress spoke for 60 minutes without a single note and had us all in stitches”, Heather

said. The horticulturalist, who works at Lullingstone castle in Kent, spoke less about gardening and more about the people he’d met. In his London growl, he regaled us with an iconoclastic litany of anecdotes and memories. He said Chelsea flower show is now “just a big corporate bash” and told us about memorable encounters with Princess Alexandra and the Queen’s mother. Another guest who knew his subject inside out, spurning notes, was deep-sea biologist Jon Copley, who talked about the history of mapping ocean floors. He said our phones and the internet are connected by deep-sea cables not satellites. On the Friday evening, building conservationist Tom Nancollas talked about his book on Britain and Ireland’s 220 lighthouses (200 on land, 20 on rocks) at the yacht club / lighthouse; and retired heart surgeon Steve Westaby explained that his name would never appear on an honours list, “because I pound the NHS incessantly. In the NHS today, the emphasis is on cost containment which is wrong”, he said. His slideshow included a monochrome photo of him as a boy with his mum in Scarborough.

waistcoat, explained his nickname Scagglethorpe Singh, abbreviated to Scag. He’d been on an England tour to India, where he met his partner Mana Sarabhai, who was in the audience. A teammate who knew he was from Yorkshire only knew the name of one village in the county. The epithet stuck. The front row in the library’s concert room was full 45 minutes before the start of forensic scientist Angela Gallop’s absorbing talk. The audience was mostly women. After discussing cold cases Roberto Calvi, Stephen Lawrence and Rachel Nickell, she added as a footnote that Alan Ayckbourn, who had begun his ninth decade two

days earlier, was one of her favourite playwrights. The festival’s star attraction was Michael Palin, who infected nearly 900 people in the Spa Grand Hall with the boyish enthusiasm he felt for his book Erebus. He began by reminding us that the last time he’d been at the Spa was to film Remember Me in 2014. It was written by Gwyneth Hughes who, the previous day, had spoken about her Vanity Fair adaptation, starring Palin as Thackeray. After eloquently condensing his ripping yarn into 80 minutes, the globetrotting ex-Python, who turns 76 on 5 May, spent an hour “at the longest queue for a book-signing I’ve ever seen”, as Heather described it. Both talks were hosted by Helen Boaden, who said she and Hughes had been pals since they were in their early 20s.

NEWS IN BRIEF Angela Gallop

Alan Johnson, on his third visit, had chaired the previous night’s Have I Got News For You, which had a photo of Star Wars characters queuing for a bus at the Spa during the sci-fi convention. The former Labour home secretary was back the next morning to discuss the Sunday papers with Helen Boaden and rightwing journalist and historian Simon Heffer, who gave a talk at St Martin’s Church about his book, The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914.

Both live in the town. It was no surprise to learn that Erebus was the best-selling book at the festival stall run by Sarah Tyson of Books up North; about 100 copies were sold, at £18 each. With my hearing diminishing, I struggled to hear some of the speakers, especially the more softly-spoken ones such as Claire Harman, Gwynneth Hughes and Mike Brearley. It must be a devil of a job getting the sound right in the library. Next year’s Books by the Beach, the seventh, will run from 24-26 April. Heather explains: “I've decided to make it three days, like a long weekend. Hopefully bring more visitors to stay over and I can concentrate on making every event extra special!”

Scarborough places, people and events will be brought to life during local and community history month. Scarborough Library will have a Then and Now photo display throughout May, a local history fayre on 18 May and local-history themed drop-ins with craft events and stories from 25 May to 1 June. PASSENGERS on a coach trip from Scarborough to Manchester on 9 May will watch Northern Ballet Theatre perform The Great Gatsby at the Lowry theatre at Salford Quay. It will leave at 8.30am, in time for the 2pm matinee. Tickets cost £50 and £40. To book, ring organiser Christine Cox on 370382.

The Roamin’ Jasmine

A NEW Orleans band is due to make another appearance at Woodend in Scarborough after their sell-out show last July. The Roamin' Jasmine, from New Orleans, are guaranteed to get your feet moving, says promoter Chris Lee. Their songs are interpretations of 1920s country blues, 1950s New Orleans R&B, vintage calypso from Trinidad, 1930s swing and 1950s country tunes. They are mixed in with original songs by leader Taylor Smith,

who has taken the band from Alaska to Switzerland. Yay cafe at Woodend is entering into the vintage vibe by turning its bar into a retro speakeasy with gins and cocktails of the era. There will be room to dance, Chris adds.

Singing as part of a group can give you a sense of wellbeing and joy. This is about an overall sense of wellbeing. A lot of choirs are almost semiprofessional and people have to audition. Ours is open to anyone. It is all about singing for joy, so come along and join us”. The Friends of Scarborough Library group is providing £1,000 to support the choir

with costs such as T-shirts for members and refreshments. In June, the library will host an armed forces event and Dee has tentatively earmarked this for the choir’s first performance, with a selection of wartime songs. Generally, the choir’s repertoire will be a mixture of old and new. Dee mentions Abba and the Beatles and says she has John Lennon’s Imagine in mind for the choir’s first song. The choir’s next meeting will be on 16 May, from 4-5pm, then fortnightly after that, in the library’s concert room.

Slimmers go For gold with charity clothing event SCARBOROUGH, Whitby and Pickering Slimming World groups are celebrating after donating around 700 charity bags to the Cancer Research UK shop in Whitby in April. As part of Slimming World’s 50th Anniversary, all local Slimming World members were asked to donate any clothes and shoes that they have slimmed out of and accessories that they no longer need as part of their Annual Clothes Throw. "Whether members have dropped one dress or waist size or six sizes it’s such a liberating feeling having the confidence to bag up clothes you’ll never fit into again and raise money for an incredible charity at the same time" says Susan Fieldsend who runs the Crossgates and Westborough morning groups in Scarborough.

Pianist Paul McCann runs the choir with Dee, who said: “The idea came about because a couple of customers asked if I had thought of setting up a community choir. I hadn’t, but I started to think about it and my dad, who is also musical, said

A spa is born Scarborough has gained a new alpine-style spa, bringing relaxation to the The Hammam wet room at Wellness Alpamare (Photo by Ravage Productions) masses. It’s sure to exceed the expectations previously set by its waterpark sibling says Krystal Starkey. WELLNESS at Alpamare, Scarborough’s new spa, sits neatly on top of the waterpark, away from the hustle and bustle of excitable kids and crashing waves. The alpine-style spa is luxurious, relaxing and beautifully decorated - but its not pretentious. This feels like a spa for everyone. It also serves as the perfect introduction to spas. A self confessed novice, I was relieved to see that they have handy laminated guides on how to use the sauna, depending on the experience you want: Hamman Relax, Sauna Vitality and Detox. The spa manager helpfully advised that if we had plans this evening, we probably didn’t want to do the Hamman Relax - as we would be asleep on the sofa by 8 o’clock. We opted for Sauna Vitality and it worked a treat. The guides have been put together by specialists to ensure that guests achieve what they want out of their spa experience. I think we all agree that a little guidance in a spa goes a long way. Our spa tour started in the Hammam wet area where guests can make full use of the soap steam bath, warm centre stone, herbal steam bath (a personal favourite, it smells like fruity candy floss in there) and foot baths. Wellness at Alpamare’s offering of saunas is equally impressive, The Panorama Finnish Sauna, which is set at 95°, offers an impressive view of Scarborough, guests can see from the city centre, over the castle and out to sea. It’s here where visitors can also catch the Aufguss ceremony, which is included in entry price. Ice balls with essential oils are crushed into the hot stones,

and then the scented steam is directed towards bathers by the Aufgussmaster. It’s an experience like few others. Following the ceremony, guests are encouraged to partake in a cold shower because the thermal shock releases adrenaline and in turn, happy endorphins. The relaxation lounge is where guests can eat, drink, and be merry. It overlooks the waterpark. Watching the waves roll by whilst sitting on a sun lounger with a drink has seriously chilled out beach vibes. The iodine infinity pool outside benefits from beautiful views and a great temperature (35°), but you will be sharing it with the rest of the waterpark, who are definitely on a different vibe to you by the time you’ve let yourself unwind in the spa. Wellness at Alpamare is mobile and smoke free. Sometimes you need your arm twisted to do what’s best for you. I was a bit nervy about this part, my arm isn’t complete without a phone attached - but I was grateful to the spa’s policy afterwards. It’s the longest time I’ve spent off my smartphone since I got it, and perhaps not-socoincidentally: the most relaxed I’ve felt in a very long time. Leaving the spa, I felt completely relaxed, calm and clean, with super soft skin and a glow that can only be achieved by spending three hours in a truly brilliant spa. Mission accomplished. It’s a five ‘spa’ rating from me. Entry to the spa is £39 Monday - Thursday and £44 Friday - Sunday. Packages with treatments will be available soon.

Happiness and suffering Stamp club displays bulletins and envelopes are states of mind MEMBERS gave short displays at a meeting of Scarborough Philatelic Society. Chris Phillips spoke about the GPO Philatelic Bureau, founded in 1963 to encourage stamp collecting, particularly of British issues. He said it is surprising the GPO had not exploited the opportunity to sell to collectors earlier as they had been boosting its income for years. The bureau started producing a monthly bulletin about British stamps. Chris showed the first 10 issues from his large collection. Stamp design has since become a valued art form. New stamps are now issued every month.

Chris also showed stamps issued for use on the island of Alderney. Robin Stenhouse showed stamps about Joseph Russell Stenhouse, to whom he claims a distant relationship. When Sir Ernest Shackleton organised his Imperial Antarctic expedition in 1914, Stenhouse was engaged as first officer on the relief ship Aurora. When the leader of the Ross Sea expedition was ashore with his party, laying food depots for the last part of Shackleton's planned Antarctic crossing, the Aurora, firmly frozen in a huge ice floe, was swept away in a gale. The ship drifted in the Southern Ocean for nine

months before the ice trapping it broke. Later, Stenhouse was decorated for service in the Royal Navy in the First World War and was captain of the Discovery in the first of the Discovery investigations into whale biology. Ted Lunn showed a series of envelopes posted in Germany in the 1920s during the period of hyperinflation, when the cost of sending a letter rose by over a millionfold. These illustrated the social disruption and suffering experienced. The society’s next meeting will be at 7pm on 7 May at the library. All are welcome.

Buddhist monk Gen Tharpa

THE Art of Positive Thinking is the title of a talk to be given by a Buddhist monk at the Friends Meeting House in Scarborough on 13 May, at 7pm.

Gen Tharpa, a senior teacher of the new Kadampa tradition of Buddhism, has been teaching modern Buddhism in Spain, Portugal and England for over 30 years. He said: “Whether we experience a happy, meaningful life, full of exciting challenges and opportunities for growth, or a stressful, unhappy life full of difficulties and problems depends on our way of thinking. Happiness and suffering are states of mind. “With meditation, we can train ourselves to think positively and maintain an authentic experience of inner peace,

even in difficult situations. We can discover the potential for lasting happiness and joy within our minds”. Everybody is welcome. Admission costs £6 and includes refreshments. There is no need to book in advance and seating is on chairs, not the floor. Weekly meditation classes take place at the same venue, place and time. For further information, go to www.madhyamaka.org. The Friends Meeting House is in Quaker Close, off Woodlands Drive, near the hospital. The postcode is YO12 5QZ.

University of the Third Dolly Parton musical Age showcases its work whoops into the YMCA THE local version of Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 the Musical, currently running in London’s West End, will be performed by Scarborough Musicals at the YMCA Theatre from 28 May to 1 June. Based on the 1980s cult film, the production features a cast of talented locals and features the hit song 9 to 5. The Oscar, Grammy and Tony award-nominated score was written by Patricia Resnick and the world’s biggest country and western star, Dolly Parton. This hilarious, fun and feisty show is the ultimate tale of girl power. When Violet, Doralee and Judy are pushed to the limit by their lazy, lying, sexist boss, they decide the best plan is to kidnap him and take over the office. But will they be able to prove their boss has been cooking the books before his wife returns, the office snitch finds out and the CEO turns up? The show is directed by professional musical theatre actor and musical director Alex Weatherhill, best known for his work in the West End as Mary Sunshine in Chicago and in Sasha Regan’s all-male Gilbert and Sullivan productions.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Alex runs Bridlington choir Coastal Voices, arranges music for The Voice finalist Belle Voci and performs professionally in musical theatre roles around the UK. He said: “I love this piece. Although the film may be 40 years old, misogyny in the workplace and gender equality is a battle still being fought. Somehow Resnick and Parton have managed to tackle a difficult subject in a way that makes you laugh out loud. It’s an extremely funny script and a bright, sassy score full of hit numbers. It was a no-brainer for me to come on board and if the audience laughs half as much as I have during rehearsals their sides will ache by the interval”. Playing the part of Doralee, made famous by Parton, is Scarborough’s Katie Doubtfire, a regular performer in YMCA shows. She says: “The show is so funny, we are all crying with laughter in rehearsals. I really like the female empowerment message. It shows the struggles that women go through as well as them taking care of business”. Other cast members include Natalie Jackson as Judy,

Jesse Hutchinson will launch his first album of original material, No Direction Home, at the Cask on 16 May, from 7.30pm. Jesse will be joined

The work of the University of the Third Age in Scarborough will be showcased at Westborough Church on 13 May, from 10am-2pm. The U3A is an international movement whose aims are the education and stimulation of mainly retired people - those in their third 'age' of life. In Scarborough, the U3A has

event is part of the annual national Get Creative festival, which encourages people to try their hand at something new and creative. The first one, in 2016, featured over 650 events. Last year’s, spread over nine days, had over 1,400. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be available.

Trump meets LGBQT+ Choir show raises hundreds for charities in new art show THREE installations by a leading contemporary British artist, including a response to the claims of Donald Trump and a piece inspired by LGBQT+ concerns, will go on show at Scarborough Art Gallery in the summer. Annabel McCourt’s Suffering Arcadia comprises two new installations commissioned by Scarborough Museums Trust, which runs the gallery, and a 2017 piece. The two new pieces are MAGA Grabber and Happy Hour in the Harmful Factory. The third, Electric Fence, was first seen at Hull Minster as part of Hull’s year as the UK city of culture in 2017. MAGA Grabber is inspired by the news that Trump’s Make America Great Again baseball caps were made in China, and that their manufacturers were stockpiling them while they awaited an American ruling on trade tariffs. Based on a traditional seaside amusement arcade clawgrabber, it incorporates caps and other promotional items commissioned by McCourt from the same manufacturers, with the addition of the words Made in China. McCourt says: “MAGA Grabber is a direct response to Trump’s infamous brag that he just grabs women by a certain part of their anatomy. “We buy into the illusion of an arcade grabbing machine. We want to win, we suspend our disbelief. Indeed, the machine’s instruction manual says that ‘a player must fall under the spell of the game through the fact that the grab can pick up the merchandise easily, but he didn’t play accurately enough and wants to try again’. “It’s a seemingly clumsy yet sinister metaphor, another cheap shot at mocking the leader of the free world but, if you stop and take yourself out of the game for a moment, it’s

MAGA Grabber 2 by Annabel McCourt

horrifying that it is so easy for people to buy into the illusion, the promise of a reward, and downright disturbing that women, fathers, humans can knowingly participate in a form of mass coercive control. With MAGA Grabber there are no winners, only losers”. Happy Hour in the Harmful Factory, a two-part handwritten neon artwork, is “a feminist response to the futile optimism of milk as a cure-all”, McCourt says. “It draws on multiple cultural inspirations ranging from the recent Novichok poisonings in Salisbury to Margaret Thatcher the milk snatcher and the heightened abhorrence of female child murderers”. Electric Fence responded to the infamous sermon of a North Carolina pastor advocating a ‘solution’ to same-sex marriage: “to build a great big large fence, 50 or 100 miles long. Put all the lesbians in there, fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals. And have that fence electrified so they can’t get out”. The installation premiered at Hull Minster during Hull 2017’s Freedom season, before going on tour first to Scunthorpe’s 20-21 Visual Arts Centre and

most recently to Dak’Art 2018 biennale of contemporary African art in Senegal. McCourt says: “I couldn’t have foretold the current climate in my wildest nightmares. First, Trump rises to power promising a wall, then reports of gay men being interned and tortured in concentration camps in Chechnya, evoking the indescribable horrors of Auschwitz. “Now, a coalition of chaos fuelling fear and throwing into question newfound and cherished LGBTQ+ freedoms. Borders, boundaries, terror, fake news … we are trapped in a loop of hatred where the human condition and an architecture of fear are working in perfect harmony. The trust’s head curator, Simon Hedges, worked with McCourt during Hull’s big cultural year. He says: “Her work addresses injustice, employing a quietly challenging and approachable language, bridging global socio-political and genderbased issues at individual and collective levels. “Suffering Arcadia is the first part of our new three-year programme. Scarborough and the surrounding region can look forward to a new platform for contemporary art”. McCourt has a diverse portfolio, with work ranging from lens-based gritty socialrealism through to installation art, moving image and architectural interventions, inspired by fact, folklore and legend. Suffering Arcadia runs from 11 May to 18 August. The gallery is open Tuesdays to Sundays plus Monday 27 May from 10am to 5pm. Entry is free with an annual pass which costs £3 and gives the bearer unlimited access to both the gallery and the Rotunda Museum for a year.

improve their social skills etc. A busy season will see the choir performing at St Mark’s Church at 7pm on 24 May, at Scalby & Newby Parish Hall at 7pm on 12 July and at South Cliff Methodist Church, where it rehearses, at 7.45pm on 15 July as part of the church’s concert season. The choir is learning some exciting and varied new material such as a medley of Roy Orbison hits incorporating Love Hurts, It’s Over, Only the Lonely, Crying and Pretty Woman. An April theme includes Simon and Garfunkel's April Comes She Will and the madrigal April is in my Mistress’s Face.

SCARBOROUGH Community Choir’s performance of Oh Nell in March raised hundreds of pounds for two local charities. After a hectic but successful show with the Sandside Players, £1,000 was shared between Dial a Ride and Steps. Dial a Ride provides fully accessible, door-to-door transport for those who are either retired, have some form of disability or who have difficulty using other forms of transport. Steps, based at Gallows Close in Barrowcliff, is run by volunteers to entertain adults with learning and physical disabilities, helping them

The choir is also learning Snow Patrol’s Run. In various guises, the choir has been singing for over 20 years. It started life as an evening class with six members and was known as the Can’t Sing Choir. It later became Graham Community Choir and took its present name four years ago, on its move to the church. It has raised thousands of pounds for local charities. The choir is proud of its community work, open to all with no audition policy. More information on the choir can be found on its website, which is easy to find.

Wildlife weekend over bank holiday A three-day spring wildlife weekend is to be held in Flamborough, Filey and Hunmanby Gap on the bank holiday weekend of 4-6 May. It will feature wildlife walks, puffin watches, bird-ringing, a seashore safari and a moths-andbats event. Everything except parking is free. It’s being organised by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) in conjunction with the RSPB, the Yorkshire Naturalists Union, Flamborough Head Observatory, Filey Bird Observatory and Group, the East Yorkshire Bat Group, the Wildlife Trusts and the Yorkshire branch of Butterfly Conservation.

Many of the 22 sessions will be at the YWT’s Living Seas Centre (LSC) and the RSPB’s visitor centre at Flamborough Head. The other locations include Filey Country Park, Hunmanby Gap, Filey Dams and Thornwick pools. Some of the events with wildlife experts have an early start and some are in the evening. On 5 May, Mark Pearson will celebrate international dawn chorus day at Filey Dams reserve at 4.45am; and Geoff Wilson of the Bat Group will lead a bat walk with moth trapping starting at the LSC at 9pm. All events are weather permitting and late

changes may occur. Booking is essential for many events. Check the websites www.fbo.org.uk or www.fbog.co.uk from 7pm the evening before to ensure the event is going ahead. A full schedule of activities can be found at www.fbog. co.uk. * The wildlife weekend coincides with Global Big Day on 4 May, when an estimated 30,000 birdwatchers will search the world's fields, forests, mountains, coasts and everywhere in between. Last year, three out of four bird species were recorded in one day.

Church to host nine-day arts festival

ARTISTS from across the Scarborough area are being invited to showcase their talent at a fundraising exhibition. St Mark’s Church in Newby is to celebrate community creativity by holding the exhibition as the centrepiece of a free nine-day arts festival from 19-27 May, in the evenings. As well as the exhibition, it will feature music, film and literary

events. “We’re giving local artists a chance to reveal their hidden talents and raise money for the church at the same time”, said spokesman Trevor King. “Many people in this area may have not exhibited before and their work is maybe in the shed or the bedroom and kept secret”. Trevor wants the exhibition

to feature a diversity of art, including paintings, drawings, photography and 3D work such as ceramics, glassware and textiles. All the exhibits will be for sale with the artist receiving an agreed percentage of the sale price, said Trevor. The festival will feature Steve Brookes on piano, the Staxton Singers, a screening

of Christopher Robin starring Ewan McGregor, Scalby School musicians, a literary event with published artists and poets, Scarborough Community Choir, singing vicar Rev Mike Leigh and friends and a thanksgiving praise service. It is the latest in a series of fundraising events St Mark’s is staging as it aims to raise £250,000 to build an annex

by 2022. The extension will contain a kitchen and café area, toilets, an office, meeting rooms and storage space. A new £95,000 roof has just been completed from grants, legacies and a series of fundraising events held over three years. Services were held in the church hall on Coldyhill Lane until work on the roof

and extensive rewiring were completed. Artists who would like to display their work should ring Trevor on 07941 338466 or email trevorking3355@gmail. com.

Author was ‘a committed friend of the less fortunate’ WINIFRED Holtby, the Yorkshire novelist, journalist, pacifist and social activist, was the subject of a talk for the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery. Robin Horspool drew on correspondence between his family and hers. His grandfather taught art in Bridlington and was charmed by the nine-year old Winifred, who lived in Rudston, where she was born in 1898. She stood out from her contemporaries. Robin’s grandfather got to know her family well and published My Garden and Other Poems, a collection Winifred wrote between the ages of 10 and 13. Winifred went to Queen Margaret's School in Scarborough in 1909. Aged five, she wrote an account of the bombardment of Scarborough

in 1914. She served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps near the end of the war then went to Oxford University, where she met Vera Brittain. They later shared a flat in London when Winifred was working as a journalist. They shared an ardent desire for social change. Robin spoke of Winifred’s personality and achievements with great admiration. “She was tall, dignified and generous and a committed friend to the less fortunate”, he said. “She was a greatly admired journalist, wrote plays, poems and eight novels, the last of which, South Riding, has been made into a film four times. She developed kidney disease and died when only 37”. Robin quoted from correspondence between his and Winifred's families and

POSTHUMOUS BOOK LAUNCH FOR POPULAR POET Words & photo by Dave Barry The life and work of a muchloved Scarborough poet and artist will be celebrated at a book launch. Joyce Bell, whose first book Gloriously Alive was featured in October 2017’s Scarborough Review, died at the age of 94 on Boxing Day. In her final months, Joyce had been preparing a further collection with her editor and publisher Felix Hodcroft. “She never ran out of ideas or inspiration,” says Felix. “The very last poem she wrote, which we’ve put at the end of the new book, was completed three days days before she died. I know that if she’d had the strength she’d have kept working on it. It’s brilliant as it is, though!” It is called The Journey. Joyce’s second and final collection, Discovering Wonder, contains a rich hoard of poems about her fascinating life, her powerful spiritual awareness and the joy she took in the natural world, especially

in Scarborough. It will be launched with a free, celebratory event at Woodend from 6-8pm on 24 May. Copies of Joyce’s books will be available at discounted prices - £6 for Discovering Wonder, £4 for Gloriously Alive at the launch, at the Stephen Joseph Theatre shop, from Felix at 3/65 Esplanade, YO11 2UZ, and from Rosie Coles at 16 Manor Road, YO12 7RZ. There will be readings from the new book. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome. Here are two poems from the new collection:

New Life Three years in tents, on the move, Never known security, Always hungry, frightened. Today we are on a plane. Ahead lies freedom. Clutching our visas for Canada. A family is waiting To find us a home, a job, School for our children. Will they meet us? How will they find us?

Will they speak our language? A guide is waiting to take us to them. She introduces us by name. Hugs and kisses speak louder than words. We step out of hell Into new life.

The Journey

Katie could be UK’s youngest radio producer POSSIBLY the youngest radio producer in the UK is working in Scarborough. Katie Robinson, 13, produces the Radio Scarborough Youth Team show on Saturdays at 10.30am. The story begins in July 2017, when Katie asked the station to train her as a presenter. Although she was by far the youngest person to make such a request, the station agreed and, with the blessing of Katie’s parents, her journey began. She quickly roped in school friends Ben Moorhouse and Grace Mellor. Grace later decided radio wasn’t for her and left, although her elder brother Harry, a student at Northumbria University, will soon be joining the station for work experience. Grace’s place was filled by

Tilly Taylor, who’s taken to radio like a duck to water. On a visit to the station last summer, Dom Chambers of the Community Media Association was impressed that they were presenting the show without outside help. Katie’s parents, Claire and Stuart, are pleased with the effect her Saturday job has had on her self-esteem and say Katie is now brimming with confidence. All three members of the Youth Team, who are pupils at St Augustine’s, want to pursue careers in the media. At this rate, they will be seasoned veterans by the time they start job-hunting. For insurance, plus health and safety purposes, a DBSchecked Radio Scarborough volunteer is always on hand in the studio.

Rag-rug exhibition EXHIBITION LOOKS AT in Ravenscar PUBS OF THE OLD TOWN A RAG-RUG exhibition by Louisa and Lewis Creed can be seen at the Ingrid Flute Gallery at St Hilda’s Church in Ravenscar from 24-26 May, 11am-4pm. The couple haunt jumble sales and charity shops, looking for fabrics, pouncing on the right colour or texture. The shelves in their studio are colour-coded and sorted for future projects. Their rugs are collected and displayed in galleries, featured in books and craftwork publications. They have been inspired by visits to Japan, Greece and every corner of Britain. An exhibition at the Cemetery Chapel in York with their group Ten York Crafters every other

year has always been a richly enjoyable experience, they say. Rag rugs have a long and wide-ranging history. They are thought to have originated in Sweden in about 1700. The craft spread to Britain and then the USA and Canada where it has been widely appreciated, pioneers spreading them on beds for much-needed comfort and warmth. Louisa has channelled her artistic ability into the old craft, which our forebears practised using old clothes and discarded fabrics. She took up rag-rug hooking over 30 years ago, unaware that her aunt had played an important part in keeping the craft alive in Cumbria. Rather than putting

the rug on the floor or by the hearth or on a bed, hers are wall hangings. She sticks to the idea of recycling and feels a connection with the old practice of mat making in the cottages and farmhouses of the north-east. The countryside, the sea and the coast are depicted with the eye of an impressionist artist. Lewis was an art teacher for many years and encouraged pupils to branch out into crafts including rug making, which became a craze in school. He started designing rugs in retirement, having watched Louisa for 12 years. Through the 1990s and into the present, he has created an Ark of more than 150 comical animals.

THE PUBS of Scarborough’s old town - past and present - are the subject of an exhibition at the Maritime Heritage Centre. Most of the pubs on Sandside have a long history, dating back to the 1700s. They have served the fishing community and shipbuilders from the boatbuilding yards spread along Sandside and Neptune Terrace, now Foreshore Road. They had names like the Shipwright Arms, which later became the Lancaster. It was named after a former publican and is no longer a pub. The Five Man Boat became the Newcastle Packet.

NORMA WATERSON MUSIC FESTIVAL CALLED OFF A MUSIC festival marking Norma Waterson’s 80th birthday has been called off because the folk diva is having a heart operation. It was being organised by her daughter, Eliza Carthy, who said: “Many of you will know that we have been waiting for this for some years now, and

that we’re hoping it will ease her health situation and make things a bit easier for her. “The date is just too close to our weekend, and so we have had to make this difficult decision”. Eliza and festival co-organisers Jim and Sue McLaughlin of Whitby Musicport and Pete Holden hope to reschedule

the event after Norma has recovered from her big operation. The Marquess of Normanby had given permission for Mulgrave Castle at Lythe, near Whitby, to be used for the event, from 2830 June. The festival had been dubbed Elephant at the Castle, because

a former resident, Maharajah Duleep Singh is reputed to have kept elephants there in the 1850s. Norma, who will hit her ninth decade on 15 August, lives in Fylingthorpe with her husband Martin Carthy.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE

SCARBOROUGH’S final home game against Bradford & Bingley When season 2018/2019 started most of the Scarborough faithful looked forward to the coming eight months with trepidation. Although Coach Simon Smith, Skipper Matty Jones and the lads had done a magnificent job in gaining promotion from Yorkshire One and won the Yorkshire Shield for the first time, most supporters hoped for, at the very least, survival in North One East. Looking at the teams they would face; Morley, Bradford & Bingley and Percy Park to name but a few who had played in more exulted company including the national leagues

it seemed a mighty step-up. The Coach and players had a completely different view and kicked off the season with a 5333 win at high-flying Bradford & Bingley. The Seasiders turned-out to have a record-breaking season playing a scintillating brand of high-scoring running rugby at home and away and ended the season winning all three fixtures in April against Percy Park, Malton & Norton and Bradford & Bingley to end up in second place behind Morpeth although they were the highest scoring team in the league scoring over 100 tries and garnering no less than 827 points and twenty try-scoring bonus points (4 or more tries in a game).

Coach Smith had to cope with the loss of Tom Harrison injured in the opening game at Bradford and the retirement of Harry Domett; however he moved club stalwart Tom Ratcliffe from outside-centre to fly-half and his partnership with the fastimproving Jordi Wakeham has been a revelation. The forward pack was beefed-up by the arrival of Alexis Core from France who joined the inspirational Sam Dawson, Nino Cutino and Matty Jones in the front row. Behind them Luke Brown from Whitby, Cade Robinson from New Zealand and Tom Hicks who came into the side having been sidelined since joining the club last season all made a major contributions to this season’s success.

Smith.Ian Williams, Ryan Fowler, Jack Anderson, Phil Stewart, Jordan Holloway, Tom Fish, Will Leah, Will Rennard and Sam Peate were also in the thick of the action; for the most part from the bench; if I’ve omitted anyone, I apologise. And so to the play-off game

It has been a terrific season for the Seasiders and a further promotion up to level five on the first time of asking might just have been a move too far too soon; however Simon Smith’s charges can be very proud of their efforts in a record-breaking first season in North One East.

New Boro manager arrives just before season ends SCARBOROUGH Athletic’s new manager took over a fortnight after his predecessor was dismissed. John Deacey, who succeeds Steve Kittrick, has a wealth of experience managing at Boro’s level and above. His previous role was as joint manager of Farsley Celtic. He helped guide the West Yorkshire club to promotion to the Evo-Stik premier division during an 18-month spell which ended in May 2017. Deacey started his coaching career alongside Scarborough Athletic’s former manager

Brian France at North Ferriby United. In their first season, they won the Northern Counties east league, league cup and county cup. The new Boro manager moved to Farsley Celtic alongside Lee Sinnott from 200008, gaining two successive promotions from the Northern premier league up to the national league. In between his two spells at Farsley, Deacey spent six years at Bradford Park Avenue. During that time, the club reached the first round of the FA Cup twice and won

the play-offs in the Evo-Stik premier division to reach the national league north and two promotions in three seasons. Deacey says he knows Boro supporters will expect results and entertainment from his sides. He says he is keen to instil this philosophy throughout the club, including the juniors and coaching staff. He says: “I've been out of the game for a short period of time due to personal reasons. However, Scarborough has huge potential to climb the pyramid and this was a job that attracted me back to football.

I have a few ideas of how to change things around in the short term with the existing squad. However, playing positive football on a great surface and operating with an open mind will be instilled across all my teams”. He was keen to point out that the entire club has to have the same philosophy, from the under-10s through to the first team, with the ambition of bringing in younger players to the first team each season. Deacey emphasised the importance of the town and local businesses supporting the

Visitors keep trophy despite Jack’s thunderball Words and photos by Dave Barry

AS BOWLS tournaments go, they don’t get much closer or more nail-biting than an international match at Scarborough Indoor Bowls Club in April. In a friendly encounter, 16 players from north of the border took on 16 from this side of it. After four and a half hours of play, using all eight rinks, the two teams were neck and neck, with Scotland just one point ahead of the Sassenachs, at 148147. Jack Bird, the British Isles under-25s champion and one of three Scarborough players selected for the England side, stood alone at one end of the large arena, facing his opponents, his team-mates and a crowd of spectators. The tension was palpable. Taking his time for the huge pressure shot, Jack fired the

final wood with as much power and accuracy as he could muster. It thundered down the rink with perfect precision, smashing his target into the ditch to join the jack. Whooping and hollering, Jack’s elated team-mates jumped for glee, but their celebration was premature. The adjudicator had to use his tape-measure to calculate whose woods were closest to the jack in the ditch and declared the match a draw. “Scotland retained the trophy as they were last year’s winners”, explained club spokesman Malcolm Short. “During an afternoon of great entertainment, the noise was at times phenomenal, all of which added to the fun”, said Malcolm. “The spectators were treated to a few hours of great comedy, whilst not forgetting the outstanding expertise of all the bowlers taking part”. Besides Jack, the other local

players in the England side were Matthew Bell and Nathan Richards.

North Cliff bowler wins singles merit at Eastfield EASTFIELD Bowling Club’s singles merit was won by Alan Landers of North Cliff. Alan, who was presented with his trophy by club president Shirley Groves, beat Jo Gates of Borough in the final. The score was close until the 15th end when Alan took a commanding lead to triumph 21-14. “Well done Alan and hard luck Jo”, said competition secretary and match organiser David Wickes, offering congratulations and commiserations in the same breath. The club green had recovered its natural colour. A year before, it could have been described more accurately as a brown. It was parched and felt like coarse hessian fabric, for lack of rain. “It needs a lot of care”, says David, adding that the club had trouble with crows digging for worms on the green. Other greens in the Scarborough area suffered similar problems. Manor Road has been restored but North Cliff is still bad, a spectator commented. John Burton, one of three green keepers, was one of three players fielded by the club in the singles merit. The other two were Tony Flynn and David Muir. In the quarter finals, Alan beat Kev Gates 21-16, Jo beat Ken Wale 21-15, Paul Morgan beat Billy Holdsworth 21-17 and Chris Dobson beat Joe Hobson 21-10. In the semi-finals, Alan

Meeting idols and remembering friends Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor, got to meet some football legends this month. You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant

When your idol becomes your rival I’M GOING to be honest. As a young child who grew up loving football and supporting my home town teams (Scarborough FC and Leeds United), heroes and idols have always been in abundance for me. I remember being at school and getting by one of the English teachers, Mr Coombes. He wanted a picture of me for the next edition of the Pinder Post. He also asked me a series of quick-fire questions including: what I wanted to be when I grew up and who was my hero. I can’t remember who I said I wanted to be when I grew up, but I nervously said that Gordon Strachan, the firey Scotsman, was my hero. Everyone thought he was over the hill when he left Manchester United and came to God’s Country and Leeds United. It was actually Noel Whealan, the youngster that came through the Paul Hart School of Hard Knocks, or to other people the Leeds Academy. He was brought up in the shadows of Headingly, AKA the rugby and cricket heartland of the city, and originally had aspirations of becoming a Rugby League player. While playing football in Headingly car parks and at school, it wasn’t long until he wanted to play for the mighty whites. Leeds nearly missed

out on him. He could have gone elsewhere, but it was his determination that landed the home town lad a place in his home town club. He was picked out of the successful youth team who beat The Class of ‘92 in the youth FA Cup and went on to become a talented goalscorer, bagging seven goals in 23 games. There was a point when he lost his place midway through the season to another talented striker called Tony Yeboah. When he left Leeds United he moved to Coventry City. Big Ron Atkinson snapped him up for £2 million. His debut for City was a 4-1 loss, but his first game at home, partnered with Dion Dublin (who later got a job presenting Homes Under The Hammer) saw Whelan get the winning goal. When Big Ron moved upstairs for the next season and firey Scotsman Gordon took over, Noel was getting edged out by the next bright thing: Darren Huckerby. Whelan was moved into the deeper key role of midfield. The sky blues finished mid-table and Noel got six goals in that 1997-98 season. Noel went on to score 31 goals for Coventry from 1995-2000, but his career would then see him move to Middlesbrough under Bryan Robson, where he spent three years at the BORO. I still remember him giving the

Leeds salute after scoring a goal against Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round and on his 26th birthday scoring an own goal against his old club Coventry City. Even though he wasn’t playing for Leeds, I always kept an eye on how he was getting on, like a player who looks out for scores of previous clubs. With all this fondness of the man - I had never actually met him. Well they do say never meet your idols. Thanks to the Scarborough Whites (Leeds Supporters Club) I got to meet him. So me being me, I took this chance and I got my old Leeds shirt out of mothballs (the Thistle Hotel one). I’ve also been reading a book called Marching On Together Volume 1. I got my wife to hunt down a sharpie pen, she could only find a red one. “A RED ONE” I replied to her (she’s a Blade - I can’t help that). I did eventually find a blue one and I got myself merched up with some Noel Whelan and Popey scribbles. Another reason why I think Noel is my idol is that having the worst first touch and two left feet, I could never match him on the field of play. But now I can talk a good game and so can our Noel. Yes, he maybe on BBC Leeds and I’m on Yorkshire Coast Radio Extra, but we both commentate football and in my eyes I think I’ve lived up to being his equal.

I’ve even been giving out a few ‘GET IN’S' to some goals, but shh don’t tell him, ok?

David Holland’s Way The great American football legend Vincent Lombardi once said: “Football is like life - it requires perseverance, selfdenial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” I’d like to think I follow that rule. Someone who definitely did was friend and former Chairman of Scarborough Athletic, David Holland, who sadly passed away two years ago. These past few months I have been in contact with his family about trying to get a fitting tribute for David. The way I look at it, in 100 years, people might forget the things I’ve done for the club, but it would be a travesty to forget what David sacrificed for the club. He brought in stability when we had issues playing at Bridlington. He had the foresight of seeing crowds dwindling as the trip from Scarborough to Bridlington was waining, even on the hardened Seadog. He knew that the club needed its heart back and that meant moving back into the borough of the town. David achieved this and what we see now (The Flamingo Land Stadium). I remember seeing David at

the Falsgrave Community Centre, this was the first time fans could see a polystyrene model of the ground. He was so animated in his delivery of showcasing the stadium, he even had answers to any negative comments. He knew it wasn’t the finished article. Now with Scarborough Borough Council and Chairman, Trevor Bull, and everybody else getting involved through all the building processes - it will hopefully be built by 19th July and it’s something that is much needed for the Scarborough fans. I’m wanting to do this street name as a tribute to what a great man he was, I do know he

is in a long line of great people who are no longer with us, like Richard Adamson, Brian France and of course Alan (Moff) Moffatt and every one of them deserves a fitting tribute. This is why I want to get the street renamed and bring it up to date with its new environment. I then want to try and get some sort of remembrance for them and anyone in the future, like a garden or walk of fame to the ground. It’s something to be fitting of the club or community.

£800 ramp donated to Paralympic sport club

Great result for Tigers at regional championships

A SPECIALIST ramp designed to help disabled competitors play a Paralympic sport has been donated to the Scarboccia club. The Demand Nova is a versatile, easy-to-use ramp - but costs £800. With simple adjustments, it can be set up quickly and easily, giving players an advantage when it comes to launching accurate shots. Every Demand Nova is handmade to the highest standards by craftsmen at workshops in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire. Scarboccia secretary Linda Clarke-Irons says: “It enables users to deliver a shot more accurately, so they can practise as team members and enter competitions. “Without the aid of an assistive device, they would not be able

THE EAST COAST Tigers from Scarborough are celebrating their success in the ICE regional championships in Newcastle. The cheerleading team entered 48 athletes across eight routines in eight divisions. Each team was up against other teams in their division to take home the first place trophy. Last season the junior team came ninth in their division out of nine. This time they came home with first place out of six and a grand champion title, which means they had the highest score out of all the level-1 teams across all age groups on the day. Spokesperson Jess Mortimer said: “They worked so hard to turn their results around and their hard work certainly

Linda Clarke-Irons, in the checked shirt, with Our Co volunteer Liz Duke, in the black jacket, and club members, using the ramp

to participate in the inclusive Paralympic sport of boccia. We have many members who use ramps so it is invaluable to us”. The ramp was paid for with a donation from the Our Co charity shop in Northway. Scarboccia holds a weekly session at the Everyone Active sport centre on Tuesdays, from 4-5pm.

Linda says: “We are seeking new members and committed volunteers to join our friendly and proactive committee and help us deliver boccia and other inclusive sports to groups along the Yorkshire coast”.

For further details, and to join, visit Scarboccia’s Facebook page or pop down to the sport centre on a Tuesday afternoon.

paid off. Every single one of our teams fought to hit their routines perfectly on the day and the hard work really did pay off. “We are absolutely over the moon with the results. Our athletes and coaches have worked tirelessly week in, week out to perfect their routines and it’s an incredible feeling to see their hard work pay off. We went to the

competition just aiming to do our best, as this was our first competition of the season for all these teams. So to come home with these top results and three grand champion titles for the highest scoring teams of the day is more than we could have hoped for. We are so proud and can’t wait to get back in the gym this week to work towards our next competition in May”.

BORO FINISH EIGHTH After going top of the table early in the season, a run of disappointing results in the New Year saw Boro drop down the table and led to a change of manager in March, when Steve Kittrick who had been at the helm for three years, was replaced by former Farsley Celtic and Bradford Park Avenue boss John Deacey. Poor home form was the main reason for the slip down the table, as Boro lost seven league games at the Flamingo Land Stadium, to finally finish in 8th position in their first season in the Evo Stik League Premier Division. They rounded off the league campaign with a 5-1 home win against relegated Workington with goals from Michael Coulson, Wayne Brooksby, Flynn McNaughton, Luke Lofts and top scorer James Walshaw.

They then completed the double by also winning the North Riding FA Under-19s County Cup with a thumping 9-1 thrashing of Redcar Newmarket in the Final at Stokesley. On target were Dan Davison 4(1pen), Flynn McNaughton 2, Dan Ward, Chris Pearson and Finlay Willis.

YES-WAY FOR NORWAY Over in Norway, electric cars have certainly made their mark – with recent reports from the Norwegian Road Federation saying that 58% of new car registrations in March were electric. And, with 5,315 registrations, Tesla’s Model 3 took up 29% these new cars. So there we go – electric cars are actually becoming the more popular choice! IN CHARGE Similarly to how the latest phones all have to have bigger and better batteries, electric cars are constantly having their components improved as well. And the latest development is a new

type of battery that’s expected to give the cars that house it a 600-mile journey before needing to be re-charged. It’s also expected to cost less, and have a decreased fire risk. MONEY SAVER Okay so electric cars, currently, are much pricier than their petrol or diesel counterparts. But that could all be about to change. A report by the International Council on Clean Transportation has come back that battery prices – the reason why electric vehicles are tougher on the wallet – are expected to drop to that of a petrol or diesel equivalent by 2030.
