PAUL TURNER couldn’t have wished for a worse start to his cross-country bike ride to Scarborough. Flanked by friends, Paul was raising money to help pay for life-changing surgery for his son. On the first day, after starting in Morecambe, his bike got a puncture, rain fell heavily, the trio were cycling into a strong wind and they had to climb a steep hill near Settle.
But they persevered with the help of their driver and one-man support team Ben Swailes, who was following in a van. Cycling for up to three hours at a time, with a top speed of over 20mph, they covered the 175 miles in three days, staying at B&Bs in Pateley Bridge and Stamford Bridge. “The hardest bit was the hill out of Settle on Friday”, said an exhausted but happy Paul at the end of the journey.

The team, who met as pupils at Scalby School, was greeted at the Sands piazza by family and friends including Paul’s wife Cath and their children, Neve, 6, and twins Alice and Max, 3. They live near Scarborough. Alice and Max were born six weeks prematurely and spent three weeks in the hospital’s special-care baby unit. Max was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The ride kicked off a fundraising campaign that will hopefully allow Max to have transformative surgery, either in the UK or US. “We have been researching further treatment options and believe now is the time to start fundraising for a life-changing operation to increase the chances of Max being able to live and walk independently”, Paul says. “It works by removing the spasticity in the body and makes it much easier for him to do the everyday things we take for granted. It will transform his childhood and reduce the long-term effects of cerebral palsy such as muscle shortening, deformity and pain”. Unfortunately, the treatment is not available on the NHS so the Turners have approached a leading paediatric neurosurgeon, Dr TS Park in St Louis, Missouri, USA. The surgery, followed by intensive rehabilitation and physiotherapy for up to three years, will cost £100,000.

BBC show will re-investigate tale of murder and execution
Felicity Newbold and her book Guard a Silver Sixpence (to order photos ring 353597)
Words and photo by Dave Barry A Scarborough woman is hoping to clear her great grandmother’s name in the BBC TV series Murder Mystery and my Family. In 1903, Emily Swann and her lover John Gallagher were hanged for the murder of her violent husband William. For most of her married life, Emily was brutally beaten by her husband, a glass blower who drank heavily and squandered the family’s money while Emily was left to bring up the children. “Understandably, she was a volatile woman, but in this day and age she would have been protected”, says her great granddaughter, Felicity Newbold. The murder brought tragedy, scandal and shame in its wake. Emily was executed and her family torn apart. The pain passed through three generations to Felicity, who was subjected to physical and psychological abuse by her gran. Emily’s daughter Elsie beat Felicity every day. Her granddad excused the appalling behaviour by saying his wife had had a hard life and that she had hardly known her mother because she had been hanged. The abuse culminated in Elsie pouring a pan of boiling water over Felicity when she was 15, as she prepared to go out to a dance with her friends. “I think my gran must have looked at me and looked back at her own desperate childhood and realised what she had lost”, Felicity says. She left home and “went wild for a few years”, craving the love she never had. “My life
started to spiral. Then I woke up one day and realised that I was single, 36 years old, with three children, two failed marriages and 20p in my purse. I needed to break the cycle of poverty. I needed to get an education”. Through drive and determination, she achieved a 2:1 degree, a masters and a teaching qualification. She became assistant head at Pindar School in Eastfield before gaining a qualification in headship. But Felicity, who is now an English teacher at Driffield School, continued to struggle with her past and knew she had to find answers. “It wasn’t until I was 50 and had finally made something of myself that I recognised that I hadn’t ever escaped Elsie completely”, she says. “The scars caused by my fractured childhood had never totally healed, which meant that at a time when I should have been feeling proud of myself and my achievements, I felt hollow and incomplete. I realised to be totally free, I needed to understand why gran behaved the way she did”. So, in 2007, she set out to discover the history of her family, trying to separate fact from family myth, in the hope it would heal her childhood scars. Through internet research and trawling through church, library and newspaper archives, she pieced together a fascinating piece of family tragedy and social history. As Felicity discovered more about her ancestors, she came to see how they had been caught in a damaging cycle, endlessly repeating the mistakes of the past. And she knew that she, at last, had the power to break free. Newspaper cuttings revealed that 286 men, including many members of Emily’s family, were killed in an underground explosion which became known as the Oaks mining tragedy, in 1866. When Emily and Bill married, domestic violence was commonplace. The couple took a lodger, who Emily fell in love with and who killed her husband Bill after a violent attack on her in Wombwell, near Barnsley, in 1902. Emily, who denied complicity, and her lover
were convicted of his murder. A jury convicted this illiterate woman, who had no real representation, after a 30-minute trial. She was visited at Armley jail in Leeds by her sisters and children. But Elsie, aged four, wasn’t allowed in. She was left with a prison warden who asked her to guard his silver sixpence as a way of distracting her - hence the book title. After Emily was hanged, Elsie was shunted from relative to relative. She was taunted about the circumstances of her parents’ death and became a sullen, unhappy child. She became pregnant aged 18. Felicity was filled with huge sadness and a burning sense of injustice while reading letters from Emily to Felicity’s mother Hannah. She was determined to fight for justice for her great-gran and began her long journey to bring Emily’s story back into the public arena. “It was so important to give Emily another hearing with an opportunity to look again at the evidence of what I believe was an unfair and biased trial”, she says. Discovering the poverty and hardship of Emily’s life and the traumas her grandmother suffered as a girl has helped Felicity see the destructive patterns that had been repeated in her family for nearly 100 years. She says: “Once I started to piece the jigsaw of my life together, I knew I had to get it down on paper”. The result was a book, Guard a Silver Sixpence, which explores self-identity through historical exploration over five generations. It has sold 300,000 copies. In Canada, where the title was changed to Sins of the Family, it topped the non-fiction softback sales for six weeks. Now the story is to be re-examined by two leading criminal barristers in the second series of Murder Mystery and my Family. Sasha Wass and Jeremy Dein specialise in reinvestigating historical cases, re-examining key evidence given by eye-witnesses and presented at Emily’s trial.
The programme will be broadcast in January. “The past will always be part of me,” Felicity says. “But, for the first time, I feel really positive about the future. It has been very hard at times and I have felt very lost, but I am back on track now. There are still some unanswered questions. But I feel more at peace than I ever have”. The questions are: * What was the evidence to prove that Emily murdered her husband? * Why would the judge not allow her two children to testify, especially one who was in the room at the time of the murder? * Did Emily receive a fair trial as an illiterate woman from the lower classes in a maledominated mining community? Felicity isn’t hoping for a posthumous retrial, only for the case to be recognised as a miscarriage of justice.

Coach Trip presenter joins 300 for dawn walk Words and photo by Dave Barry BRENDAN SHEERIN swapped a coach for a stout pair of shoes when he took part in a dawn walk in support of Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough. The star of Channel 4’s long-running Coach Trip series lives in Malaga and was back on home turf for eye surgery. Brendan lived and worked in the area for many years until moving to Spain, where he walks and swims to keep fit. “We’d been asking him if he’d like to take part in our Starlight Walk for years”, said Natalie Wright of the hospice. “The weather was really mild with hardly a cloud in the sky and the sunrise was really beautiful”, Natalie said. Over 300 people took part in the six-mile walk, which began at 5.30am. Starting and finishing at the hospice, it took in the north and south bays. The Harbour Bar provided refreshments. Brendan posed for pictures with Natalie, event organiser Rhiannon Hunt and two members of the nursing team at Saint Catherine’s: senior staff nurse Cheridan Ingle and care assistant Jim Braithwaite, whose wife did the walk. The hospice won’t know how much has been raised for a few weeks. The walk was sponsored by moneyweb. * 32 hospice supporters are jetting off to

The same amount was raised for Filey Methodist Church. * A performance of The 39 Steps at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers, raised £2,527 for the hospice. The sum included the proceeds of a silent auction run by the club on the night. Brendan’s book

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Gavin’s giant gourd weighs a quarter of a ton Words and photos by Dave Barry A pumpkin weighing over a quarter of a ton has been grown at an allotment on the fertile outskirts of Scarborough. Gavin Short, who sowed the seed six months ago, reckons his metre-tall specimen could weigh about 300 kilos. But he can’t tell for sure as it is too heavy to weigh. The only way to work it out would have been to take it to a giant-vegetable show in Harrogate, where specialist scales are used. Gavin’s lottie neighbour Ken Gill is confident that Gavin’s gargantuan gourd is bigger and heavier than the winner at the show, which was mid-September. The judges included Roger Burnett of Scarborough. Big-veg growing is serious business. Gavin bought his seed from champion grower Matthew Oliver, who holds the record for the largest pumpkin grown outdoors in Britain. It weighed 600kg and was spawned from a seed taken from a 1,054kg pumpkin. Grown in Switzerland in 2014, it holds the world record. The seed set another record when Ipswichbased seed company Thompson & Morgan paid £1,250 for it at auction earlier in the year. The company asked Matthew to grow the pumpkin. Needless to say, Gavin is contemplating selling his seeds on Ebay. His big yellow pumpkin easily squashed the competition when the pumpkins and marrows were weighed at Hackness Road allotments in
Newby. There was no prize. “It’s just a bit of fun between the allotment holders”, says Ken. However, Gavin won £25 from the parish council for the biggest marrow. It was fractionally lighter than the heaviest marrow at Harrogate, which weighed 46 kilos. Gavin and his wife Julie have been growing vegetables on allotment 71 since 2016.
Haircut girls raise £600 for charity Two Scarborough girls have raised nearly £600 for charity by having their long hair cut off. Sophia Spencer, 8, and Maddison Hardcastle, 5, had their blonde and ginger locks chopped off in aid of the Little Princess Trust. The trust provides wigs made with real hair free of charge to children and adults up to the age of 24 who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. Maddison’s proud mum, Kayleigh Spencer, set up an internet page where donations can be made until mid-October. It’s at Gofundme.com/getting-the-chop. The girls’ dramatic haircut took place at Janine’s hair studio in Cayton, where donations can also be made.

The course is aimed at anyone seeking to understand what Christians believe and what becoming a Christian would mean for their lives; and Christians who would like to revisit the basics of their faith. For more information or to book a place on the course, ring St Mary’s Church office on 500541.
Skipton Building Society’s Scarborough branch is inviting people to vote for their favourite grass-roots projects. The society’s charity fund, Grassroots Giving, was launched in 2013 to celebrate its 160th anniversary. It was designed to reflect its mutual roots and established to help people and communities to help themselves. There are 165 grants of £500 available to
fund the activities of community groups across the UK. Six are in Scarborough - Cayton Bowling Club, Christmas Together, Growing Opportunities, Scarboccia, Scarborough & Ryedale Community Cycling and Scalby & Newby Bowls Club. Votes can be cast online via www.skiptongrg.co.uk or at the branch in Westborough.
Social enterprise buys run-down house to restore A PROPERTY renovation project which enhances people’s practical skills and confidence has been given the go-ahead thanks to an £80,000 loan from the Business Enterprise Fund (BEF). Scarborough social enterprise Futureworks NY is a training and support provider used by people of all ages to help achieve their potential through engagement and motivation. Futureworks was established six years ago to offer free mentoring and support services to young people and unemployed adults. The services include educational qualifications, practical skills such as plumbing, confidence training and volunteering. The BEF loan was used to buy a disused, run-down property which is being restored by people who are looking to improve their lives and career prospects and put their new skills and training into practice. Futureworks director Sarah Thornton said: “In the past, we have really struggled to secure funding. Speaking to BEF has been a breath of fresh air. They were incredibly proactive and shared our enthusiasm for the project and supporting our local community. “The project is now under way”, Sarah said. “It is fantastic to see how transformative it has been for our learners. Everyone is getting involved with activities such as plumbing, decorating and gardening. It’s amazing to see that additional skills, such as budgeting and organisation, are being picked up during the
project”. Futureworks learner Robert Appleyard, 23, said: “It has been great learning skills in the workshop but it’s even better to be able to put the skills into real use in the house project. I am enjoying the teamwork and being able to get stuck in because I like hands-on work. I am looking forward to seeing the house develop and can’t wait to see the end result”. BEF investment manager Andy Clough described Futureworks as “a brilliant community project with a transformative social impact. “The team have all worked incredibly hard for this project and I’m delighted to see how it’s helped them achieve their mission of sky-rocketing learners’ confidence and motivation – we’re thrilled our loan could help”.

Horse-drawn hearse Cliff lift has been used at cemetery fair by millions Words and photos by Dave Barry
The horse-drawn hearse arrives at Dean Road cemetery
Words and photos by Dave Barry A handsome pair of horses pulling an oldfashioned hearse made an arresting sight as they cantered up Dean Road in Scarborough. If it had been a real funeral, the mourners would have been kept waiting for over an hour. A late departure and heavy traffic on the A64 delayed the horse-drawn hearse’s arrival at a fair organised by the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery. It was part of the 24th annual heritage open days, England’s biggest festival of heritage and culture, taking place across two weekends for the first time. The horse-drawn hearse was complemented by a modern one, containing a coffin draped with a Union flag. It belonged to one of two undertakers taking part in the fair, Bernards and the Co-op. Among the hundreds who attended was the borough mayor, Cllr Joe Plant, who was beginning to detect a theme to his weekend. The previous night, he had ridden on a Honda Goldwing which was towing a coffin in the annual seafront parade (see page 14). The fair was opened with a few gusty bellows of Oh ye, and a yelled announcement at the top of his voice, by the ornately whiskered town crier, David Birdsall. Roger Burnett and Sheila Johnson of the Scarborough in Bloom group Muck ’n’ Magic wished they had taken more plants in their caravan as they sold the lot in no time. A man cycled to the fair and donated the bike to one of the many stalls. The cemetery’s war memorial was festooned
with knitted and crocheted poppies which will form part of a dramatic display in Hackness during WW1 armistice centenary commemorations in November. A community tribute will be held in the village hall. The dry-stone walls around the church and between the church and the hall are to be covered with fabric poppies, garlands and red bunting made with recycled pop bottles by Westborough guides. A memorial seat and the phonebox are to be similarly yarnbombed (a term coined by the organisers).
NEARLY half a million tickets were sold for the cliff lift near the town hall in Scarborough last year. But many people had free trips so the number of rides probably passed the halfmillion mark. Since the tram was built in 1881, an estimated 75 million tickets have been sold, which puts the average at over half a million a year. The intriguing statistics emerged during a behind-the-scenes open day conducted by operations manager Drew Martin. It was the second time that the tram was involved in the 24th annual heritage open days. Drew said it had been built in 1881 by a wealthy banker, marine biologist and philanthropist John Woodall, for his personal use. It took 100 men six months to build and cost £10,000. Powered by electricity, the two trams are counter balanced against each other as they ascend and descend between the upper station in St Nicholas Street and the lower station on the seafront. It is the second oldest funicular railway in the country; the oldest is at the Spa. However, the company which runs it, Central Tramways, is the oldest in the country, according to A 1975 centenary: The Scarborough Cliff Lifts, by HV Jinks and JH Price. The Purshouse family bought the majority shares retaining the original company in the mid-1960s. The Spa lift is owned by the borough council and the original company no longer exists.
It is unusual for companies to survive in their original form for so long, and in particular transport companies as they are now often in the ownership of local councils, charities or other governing bodies - or closed down. Drew showed visitors an original Rowntrees poster from the 1920s which had been covered over for many decades and recently revealed. The tour included the machine room, full of tools, chains, instruments, etc. On a table lay a hefty old tome used to record the minutes of the committee which ran the tram. The first entry was written in 1881, the year the tramway opened. Website: www.centraltramway.co.uk.

Supermarket gives £250 to lifeboat Words and photo by Dave Barry A supermarket group has donated £250 to Scarborough RNLI. Proudfoots raised the money with collection boxes at its four stores and via its Making a Difference Locally charity. Lifeboat operations manager Andrew Volans said: “It is thanks to the efforts of fundraising by local people and companies such as Proudfoot that the RNLI charity can provide the modern equipment we have in Scarborough to support the local volunteers who supply the rescue service along our coast. “With 40 rescue calls so far this year and the weekly training that keeps the teams at
the readiness needed, you can imagine that equipment becomes worn out. “A donation like this can replace a crew’s lifejacket or some of their weather protection gear which will be so welcome as we go into the autumn and winter months, when the weather deteriorates but the rescues continue”. On behalf of Scarborough RNLI, Andrew accepted a cheque from group director Valerie Aston. They are pictured with coxswain Lee Marton and crew members Mark Jenkinson and Lee Holmes.

Latest guide to best A good place to be in real-ale pubs launched an emergency Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE new edition of the country’s most authoritative guide to the best real-ale pubs has six in Scarborough, two in Filey and one in Brompton. The 46th annual Good Beer Guide, published by the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), lists Britain’s 4,500 pubs and nearly 2,000 breweries. They are the best in the country, according to Camra’s 192,000 members, who monitor pubs selling real ale in their branch’s area. The Scarborough branch was allowed 15 entries, consisting of old favourites, new entries and some making a return. Inevitable inclusions are the branch’s two pubs of the year, the North Riding in Scarborough and the Sun Inn in Pickering, together with its rural cider pub of the year, the Old Post Office Tavern at Brompton. Cellars in Scarborough is back in the book; it was listed for 17 consecutive years but didn’t make it into the last two. Another returner is the Bay Horse in Pickering, for the first time since 2004. Two venues make their debut: Scarborough Council Employees Welfare Club, aka the Corporation Club, on Dean Road, and Brass Castle Brewery Tap in Malton. Members believe it is the first time a club has gained entry to the Good Beer Guide in the area covered by the branch. The local breweries featured are Scarborough Brewery, North Riding in Scarborough, North Riding in East Ayton, Wold Top near
Hunmanby, Great British Breworks in Pickering and Bad Seed and Brass Castle in Malton. Branch chairman Gillian Harper said: “With nearly 250 pubs and clubs in our area, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to gain one of the highly prized 15 places allocated to the branch. We are lucky to be represented by pubs from across the geographical limits of our branch extending from Scarborough and Filey to Malton and Pickering. Those who have retained their places, plus the new and returning pubs, demonstrate that serving quality real ale all year round is appreciated by our members and demonstrates that maintaining high standards will be rewarded”. The Good Beer Guide was launched locally at the Corporation Club in the presence of branch members, club members, licensees and brewery representatives. Founded in 1974 by Richard Thompson, the branch introduced the annual awards to recognise real ale, real cider and the traditional British pub. The other Scarborough pubs in the guide are Scholars, the Valley and the Tap and Spile. The two Filey pubs are the Cobbler's Arms and Star. * The guide costs £13 at branch meetings until November or £15.99 at bookshops and online. * Earlier this year, the branch was hoping to stage its third annual beer festival at the Old Parcel Office next to the railway station in Scarborough from 11-13 October. However, it is no longer going ahead as the venue is being used by artists.
Words and photos by Dave Barry ARMED police mingled with other emergency services at a multi-agency display on the Sands piazza in Scarborough’s north bay. Two firearms officers who declined to be named wore jackets which were four stones in weight. Each was weighed down by a Heckler & Koch rifle, a Glock 17 pistol in a hard beltholster, a spare pistol magazine and body armour which would stop a 9mm bullet but not a rifle round. Their kit included a taser, pepper spray, an extendable baton, plastic and metal handcuffs, a video camera and a radio torch. Needless to say, the only use to which this impressive armoury was put at the event was to be described to anyone with an interest. Organised by the fire brigade, the event was towered over by a 32m aerial ladder platform which extended from one of three fire engines present. Other fire-service equipment included a life-size dummy horse with articulated limbs, used for exercises; fire crews are often called out to rescue animals in various predicaments. A high-tech speed-detector vehicle was complemented by a motorway-based Highways England Land Rover. Traffic officer Kim Gardner let countless children including Scarlett Cossou-Leake, a big fan of the emergency services, operate the switches controlling the flashing lights in various phases. Lighthearted inter-agency contests introduced a little levity to the occasion. The coastguards and the mountain-rescue team raced each other to blow up their inflatable
rafts, although both sides appear to have cheated by using CO2 canisters, if a film on the coasties’ Facebook page is to be believed. The police and fire services challenged each other to a bag-throwing competition. Also present were the yellow Yorkshire Air Ambulance van, with its spinning fake rotor blades; lifeboat crew members and lifeguards; and Bikeability, using a badly damaged child’s bike to illustrate bicycle safety and maintenance.

Awards and cash for green-fingered winners Words and group photo by Dave Barry HUNDREDS of pounds in cash was handed out at Newby and Scalby in Bloom’s 11th annual Garden Gems presentation evening, at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church. “The gardens this year were of exceptional quality and it was hard for the judges to pick the winners”, said spokesperson Zoe Groom. The bloom group works in partnership with Newby and Scalby Parish Council, which donated the shields and main prize money of £300. In the residential garden category, Stephen and Janet Temple had the best small one, Brian and Alison José had the best mediumsized one and John and Linda Armistead had the best large one. Rose Aldridge had the best baskets and containers. Proudfoot’s Newby store was declared the retail business with the best hanging baskets.
The Rugby Club won an award for its memorial garden in the category for best commercial garden run by a non-retail business. The Bloom group donated £120 for discretionary prizes. Ian Southwart won an award for excellence in horticulture. An outstanding neighbourhood certificate went to Ken Gill and the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust at Danes Dyke; Karl Gerhardsen won an award for planting for wildlife support; Kevin Wood was recognised for planting for nature conservation; Rosemary Knight was congratulated for planting excellence, putting the right plant in the right place; Suzanne Blacker of the Rosette was honoured for the biggest improvement over the year; and Neil Ingham won an award for environmental planting. Cllr Reg Towse, who chairs Newby and Scalby Parish Council, gave out the prizes.

£1,000 grass-cutting grant New scanner helps explore past for old cricket ground Words and photo by Dave Barry
by Dave Barry THE former Oriel cricket ground on Scarborough’s South Cliff has won £1,000 worth of grass-cutting. Since Oriel Cricket Club stopped playing there, after nearly a century, the ground has been maintained by a trust called the Friends of Oriel. Trust members, mostly local residents, keep the place tidy, replant trees, repair the brick walls, etc. They try to prevent vandalism and fly-tipping. Adults walk dogs and have picnics; children play football and cricket. “They love that open space, with nothing on it”, says Monica Driver, who chairs the trust and whose house overlooks the ground. The ground was formerly owned by a trust established by Rowntree & Co for the use of their staff. When trust members died, they weren’t replaced and the son of the last trustee inherited it. But he lived in York and had no real interest. The Friends were formed to run the ground as a public open space. Before Oriel CC folded, three clubs used it.
They generated just enough revenue to cover expenses - grass cutting, Portaloo hire, pitch materials, water rates, etc. Now, Scarborough Council, via its community environment fund, has awarded a grant of £1,000 to assist with the cost of grass cutting. Cllr Martin Smith said: “We know how important green open spaces are to local residents so we are delighted to be able to award the grant to assist the community in maintaining the ground to a good condition”. Anyone who would like to get involved with the Friends of Oriel or could help regularly or occasionally with the upkeep of the ground should email Monica Driver at friendsoforiel@ gmail.com.
A state-of-the-art digital microfilm scanner has been installed at Scarborough Library. The Konica SL1000 machine makes viewing resources on microfilm and microfiche much easier. A large horizontal touchscreen computer monitor provides a bigger viewing area and a movable magnifier makes small text easier to read. The scanner creates high-quality images that users can save to a portable device or print, for a small charge. The resources that can be viewed on the new microfilm reader include extensive local history archives, newspaper archives dating
back to 1855, the national census from 18411901, rate books, parish records and birth, marriage and death records. A library spokesperson said: “North Yorkshire libraries hold hundreds of rolls of microfilm covering many of the main local newspaper titles dating from 1836 up to the present day, as well as full census returns for the whole county up to 1901. “Some libraries hold trade directories, parish registers and local government records on fiche, too. The new scanners should make accessing these important collections much easier”. Library staff and volunteers can help customers with the new microfilm reader.
Putting Scarborough Library’s new scanner to the test are volunteer John Patrick, staff member Sophie Messenger and outreach librarian Angela Kale (to order photos ring 353597)
Goldwing Light Parade raises £8,550 for air ambulance Words and photos by Dave Barry

Cycling on the spot raises £800 Words and photo by Dave Barry A static bike ride by staff at a Scarborough building society raised over £800 for research into Alzheimer’s. They easily exceeded their £250 target, collecting £689 in buckets - and that was before the sponsorship money was counted. The plan was to do it outside the Skipton branch office in Westborough but rain kept the cyclists inside for the first hour or two. “As the weather improved we moved the bikes outside”, says Jayne Roberts, one of several customer advisers who took part. They were joined by other supporters including Tim Kirkup, who chairs Scarborough Dementia Action Alliance and acts as an ambassador and representative of Scarborough Alzheimer's Society. All 87 Skipton branches were raising money for the building society’s partner charities, the Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer Scotland. The fundraising event, called Miles for Memories, aimed to raise £50,000 over a week in September, through running, walking, rowing, cycling or swimming. Two directors, Paul Fenn and Ian Moore,
visited each branch on motorbikes, gaining sponsorship and spurring on branch fundraising.

HUNDREDS if not thousands of people turned out to enjoy the annual Goldwing Light Parade on Scarborough’s seafront. Foreshore Road, Sandside, Marine Drive, Royal Albert Drive and most of Eastborough were closed to traffic as 110 Honda Goldwings drove from one end of the south bay to the opposite end of the north bay. Many of the bikes were brightly illuminated and many of the riders sported fancy dress, appearing as Wonder Woman, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Minions, etc. Cyclists travelled huge distances - from Dundee, Cornwall, Sussex, Wales, Holland and other places. They converged on the West Pier carpark, which had about three hours of drizzle in the
afternoon. But the weather cleared up in time for the big parade, which raised £8,550 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and was followed by a fireworks display, courtesy of South Bay Traders Association.

Chocolate shop Scout group hands moves to town centre out trophies at 60th A POPULAR chocolate shop is moving into the centre of Scarborough. A m e l i a ’ s Chocolate is transferring from Victoria Road to the former Evening News office in Amelia Forrest Aberdeen Walk. The new shop will open on 13 October, just in time for national chocolate week.
The move follows the closure of Thornton’s chocolate shop and café in Westborough in July. With the extra space, Amelia’s will have cool artisan gelato, additional workshops and a café. Business founder and owner Amelia Forrest started her business in her kitchen in 2011, following a life-saving operation. She underwent a heart transplant at the age of 15 after being diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The business has been joined by Rivka Moore, who will be studying for a chartered manager degree apprenticeship at the Scarborough campus of Coventry University.
Annual event seeks engineers and scientists of tomorrow THE ninth annual science and engineering event is at the Spa Grand Hall in Scarborough from 9-11 October. It aims to help fill the local and national skills gap by showing students the value of careers in science, engineering, robotics and technology. Over 3,000 students from schools and colleges around the area will attend. Families are being invited to a free event on the first day, from 4.30-6.30pm. It will give youngsters a chance to see inspiring realworld applications of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Parents will be able to learn about the rewarding career opportunities available for young people in a huge range of options. There will be useful information on education and training opportunities. Teams will be challenged to design and create a balloonpropelled car made from everyday items. Among the exhibitors will be major employers and organisations including Sirius Minerals, McCain, Rosti Automotive, Bosch, Kingspan, Firmac, Schneider, Plaxton, Hull University, Derwent Training, Flamingo Land, the UTC, the Sixth Form College and the armed forces. The event began at a Plaxton showroom, run
in conjunction with engineers Unison. Since then, more than 30,000 youngsters from primary and secondary schools have visited the hands-on exhibitions; some are now working in or studying engineering. The event is jointly organised by Scarborough Business Ambassadors, the North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership, the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership, the county and borough councils, the Spa and Sirius. Ambassadors chairman Peter Wilkinson said: “Over the nine years of this very significant event, more than £2m has been raised in non-profit-making sponsorship to help encourage a new generation of engineers and designers and we have big plans for the 10year anniversary. “This is a crucial event for students to see informative and engaging displays and to talk to a superb showcase of local, regional and national businesses and organisations which all look forward to it. “We need greater skills locally and nationally and this three-day exhibition is a perfect chance to help tackle this gap”. For more information about the challenge and the evening session, email events@nybep.org.uk. Website: scarboroughengineeringweek.com.
anniversary bash
Words and photo by Dave Barry AS part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Derwent Valley Scout Group had a presentation ceremony at its HQ next to the garden centre in Irton. It was attended by Rev Richard Firth, assistant vicar at St Martin’s Church in Seamer, and the borough mayor and mayoress, Joe and Margaret Plant. Trophies and gift vouchers were awarded for the best and most improved scouts, cubs and beavers. Most pack members attended, along with family and friends. The youngsters provided entertainment, had pillow fights, played table tennis, bounced on a mini-trampoline and practised crafts in a tepee. Presentations were made to two leaders who recently left the group. Nick Allison ran the explorer group but is now working away. Wendy Bardon has just moved out of district. Formed in June 1958, the group was initially called the 51st Scarborough and District. It was run by the vicar at the church rooms in Seamer. A few years later, the vicar’s wife launched a cub pack. In 1967, county councillor Stanley Bell opened new premises, a cold and draughty barn on what were then the village outskirts. The group took its current name at the same time. In 1975, a piece of land was donated on the site of its present premises. Mick Walls, who worked at the wireless

Springhead School hosts careers event CAREER choices for students with special educational needs will be highlighted at Springhead School’s annual Moving On event.

station, acquired a prefabricated building for the site. Mick died over 30 years ago and has a memorial seat dedicated to him outside the scout hut. His granddaughter Alicia is one of the cubs in today’s group. A few years later, blue asbestos was found in the building. Beryl Lewis, who was the group scout leader at the time, led a campaign to raise £37,000 to reclad the building. “Not one single meeting was cancelled during the refurbishment”, she recalls, proudly. The fundraising didn’t stop there as money is always needed for one thing or another. Over the years, the building’s kitchen, toilet block, play area, leaders room and garden have been upgraded. Derwent Valley used to have two cub packs, the Cougars and the Jaguars. The Cougars were closed down 30 years ago due to lack of numbers but relaunched last year. Both packs are now full.
for students with special educational support needs, their parents and carers and professionals. It will feature representatives of local further education colleges and organisations which help to provide care and independence support. The drop-in event is open to students from mainstream as well as special schools. For details, ring 367829.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Do you ever feel like something’s too good to be true? Sometimes it is. And unfortunately, good people out there sometimes fall victim to scams. Have no fear – Scambusters is here! Password protected We all know how annoying it is to have to think of a password for absolutely everything we do online. But these things keep us safe, right? Sadly, that’s not always the case. Even if you think you’ve got the most secure password going (because no one’s going to guess your first car’s number plate and your hamster’s birthday, right?), there are still some clever folks out there that know how to get hold of it. Now it’s nothing new to advise changing your password regularly so that if this happens your accounts are safe. But did you know that scammers are now using people’s passwords as bribery? It starts with an email that usually opens with something like: “I’m aware that xyz is your password. However I’m more aware of your secret.” The password will be your real password – or at least one you’ve used in the past. The scammers do this to scare you, and make you believe them that they’ve got something on you. It then going on to read that unless you pay them a certain amount of money, they’ll release private information about you. Now, because they know your password, it’s easy to think that they really are out to get you. But it’s all a lie – they don’t know anything and they’re not going to ruin your life. The only way they could do that is if you actually did pay them! So what do you do if you receive one of these? The most important thing is to note
The sky’s the limit for Blue Sky Media By Krystal Starkey
the password they’ve quoted and immediately change the passwords of anything that uses it. Don’t panic, and absolutely do not pay them any money! Bid down Sometimes, shops close down. And for brief periods of time, they become pop-up shops. For example, you might spot the old Phones 4 U down your street has transformed into a little “I love Scarborough” tourist store. And sometimes, these locations are rented out for even briefer periods of time, to launch a new product or brand. Promoters are dressed up smartly, giving away goodies and running a little auction on the street to get some high end products for cheap as part of the promotional event. Or are they? You’ll mainly find these in hot tourist spots, such as London, or abroad, but they can, on theory, happen anywhere. Stooges who are in on it will kick it off and attract the innocent crowds by bidding for a product – say, a 50” TV – and ‘win’ the bid at a ridiculously low amount, such as £50. They’ll them be given the TV in front of your eyes. But of course, they’re in on it. Now you’ve seen that it works, why wouldn’t you get involved? It’s a steal! Well, that’s exactly what these people are doing – stealing your money. That iPhone X you just won for £100 might have felt like a bargain, but it’s actually an empty box filled with something of the same weight. Generally, pop-up street auctions should probably be avoided. But, if you think it’s genuine, then make sure you thoroughly check the item before you hand over your hard-earned cash.

WHAT does a super Christmas present, gathering evidence for a land dispute and creating an impressive presentation have in common? The answer is that you Blue Sky Media can help you in your quest. Qualified with the Civil Aviation Authority to operate a UAV (drone) since 2015, Chris Curits is a highly skilled aerial photographer and videographer. “It’s very interesting and varied work. One day I can be filming a large property for Estate Agents, the next I am inspecting church roofs, photographing a family outside their home, or videoing a wedding party!” Drones have revolutionised aerial photography. They cost less than a tenth of the cost of hiring a full-sized helicopter, and they can fly lower and closer to trees and buildings than helicopters can, giving some truly breath-taking shots!
“We have to pass CAA flight exams to qualify, and each job must be preceded by stringent safety checks, but the affordable cost means that whether you are shooting a music video, or you just want a bird’s eye photo of your home, aerial photography has never been so accessible!” From wedding videos, family photos, to more intricate presentations for work or business promotion, Blue Sky Media are open to all ideas and encourage people to get in touch regardless of what they need: “If you've got an idea that you think we might be able to help you with, something involving videos or drones perhaps, but you're not sure whether it's the sort of thing we do, get in touch with us anyway! We're very friendly, and if we can't help you, we'll probably know someone who can.” If you would like to get in touch about an idea, email chris@blueskymediauk.com or call 07950 004889
CD recorded by singers with dementia Words and photo by Dave Barry A CD recorded by singers with dementia was launched at a free concert in Scarborough. The Singing for the Brain choir, for people with dementia and carers, performed songs from the Musical Memories CD at South Cliff Methodist Church. About 160 copies of the CD were sold at the concert, says Gail Hartley, who leads the 50-strong group, and who had the idea for the disc. Paul Nash of Scarborough Tec offered to record it and Bill Mustoe produced 400 copies at cost and did the artwork for the cover. By chance, Gail asked the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers for funding just after it was given 500 euros by the Rotary Club of Aalten-Wisch in the Netherlands. The two clubs have been friendly for years. The Cavaliers topped the sum up to £600, which was what Gail needed to finance the CD. Group members are excited and proud of the CD and love attending the weekly group. One carer said: “I haven’t heard my mum speak properly for a couple of months, but she sings every word at the group, leaving me stunned!” Gail adds: “Listening to the group, I felt I needed to share the joy of their singing
and wanted others to hear what they have achieved. I really wanted their friends and family as well as the general public to share this wonderful experience”. Singing for the Brain, established by Scarborough Alzheimer’s Society (SAS) in 2012, is led by volunteers. They facilitate group sessions for people with dementia who can attend either alone or with carers. Based on the principles of music therapy and singing, the sessions promote social interaction and active participation. They are at the church hall on Wednesdays, from 1.30-3pm. Equally important elements are a large dose of laughter and fun as well as plenty of tea and cake. SAS services manager Louise Morgan says: “Gail Hartley, Denise Kemp, Adele Longstaff, Janet Wharrior, Joan Roue, Anne Richardson, Nancy Taylor and Tim Kirkup are the heart and soul of this fabulous group”. Louise says the choir’s meetings are the highlight of the week for a lot of people affected by dementia. The concert also featured the Village Voices choir. The CD costs £5 and can be bought by ringing the Alzheimer's office on 583998 or Gail Hartley on 863434.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
The hottest summer on record comes to an end. The Open Air Theatre set new records. Visitors flocked to the town in their hundreds of thousands. In my Scarborough Tale, young Freddie surprises Grandpa with his favourite memory of the summer.
BY JOE COATES It was a school training day for teachers, so Grandpa had to look after Freddie for the day. Autumn had definitely arrived, though they still managed a brisk walk through the Open Air Theatre, along past the Sea Life Centre, turning round at Scalby Mills pub, back alongside North Bay Railway and the brightly coloured beach chalets, along to the statue of Freddie Gilroy and back and round the lake at Peasholm Park. They needed a good lunch. As usual, there was some good conversation. “It’s been a brilliant summer, Freddie. What’s been your most memorable time?” Freddie thought. “Perhaps the cricket festival, Grease at the YMCA, The 39 Steps at Stephen Joseph Theatre, that was so funny. Ah! Most memorable! Of course!” A twinkle appeared in Freddie’s eye. There was mischief in the air. And Grandpa fell for it. “My most memorable event was ….. well there was a little crowd, and suddenly….. you wouldn’t have believed it Grandpa. A man started shouting at a woman. I think they were married. They were very cross with each other. A bigger crowd gathered to watch. The two were yelling so loudly.” “Oh dear,” said Grandpa. “So what happened?” “They both started hitting each other with sticks. I don’t know what the argument was about! Someone called the police. A policeman came very quickly, but suddenly the man and woman started hitting the policeman! You wouldn’t have believed it Grandpa! And some in the crowd were laughing!” “My goodness! That’s disgraceful! What‘s the world coming to? What happened next?” “A crocodile came along and ate up all the sausages! Then the crocodile called out, “That’s the way to do it!”” “A cro……!” Grandpa paused for thought! “A crocodile ... came along... and ate up... all the sausages! That’s the way to do it! Oh Freddie, you got me there! Punch and Judy!
Still on at seaside resorts! Violence from the puppets! Although it’s not funny, the young audience can’t help but laugh when someone is whacked with a stick! It’s known as “shocked laughter”. You got me there Freddie!” Grandpa’s favourite puppets were Sooty and Sweep, worked by Harry Corbett. Sooty had a magic wand. The magic words were “Izzy wizzy let’s get busy.” Grandpa had seen Sooty at the Futurist, worked by Harry’s son, Matthew Corbett. Matthew, as had Harry,
usually came to the end of a performance with a custard pie in his face. Puppets by the sea. All part of a great summer in Scarborough. Grandpa asked if he could finish this Scarborough Tale. So here he is with his Harry Corbett voice, slowly speaking, exasperated once again by the puppets. Imagine him with a custard pie in his face. “Bye bye everyone,….. bye, bye”
© joecoates 2018. www.northbaytales.com One of my treats through the year is listening to the Scarborough Concert Band, especially in their summer performance at Peasholm Park. As well as great music, there are usually some great joke stories from trombone player Pam Bowyer. She caught me out this time in a concert at St. Mary’s, with this Punch and Judy story, and I couldn’t resist using it for a Scarborough Tale.
£1,000 donation helps children play outside Words and photo by Dave Barry PUPILS at St George’s School in Eastfield are having safe and clean outdoor fun thanks to a £1,000 donation from OurCo. The school is developing its outdoor facilities to help children become more active and develop healthier life styles. Teacher Claire Grayshan explained: “As the early-years foundation stage curriculum is expected to be delivered both indoors and outdoors, we wanted to to extend our all-year provision by putting artificial grass where there was a large, muddy, unusable area. “We used to have a small playground and a large area of grass but the grass got very wet so it was unusable for 80% of the year”. Claire has created what she calls a mud kitchen, to stimulate children’s imaginations, creativity, numeracy and literacy skills. “But it needed to be made more practical by being built up with wooden sleepers so the children do not dig up the whole garden. “We get lots of cats and wildlife in the garden so a cover was needed over the digging area
to make it more hygienic and to protect the health and safety of the children. “Over the last few years, there have been a few attempts to improve this area of the garden, using wood chippings and other resources. “However, due to it being open to the elements and on a slope, the wood chippings were just washed and blown away. Therefore a more long-term solution was needed. “As we are a small school, there isn’t a huge amount of funding available for this kind of work, so we applied to Ourco. They were extremely kind and believed it was a worthwhile cause and contributed £1,000 towards the work and we want to thank them hugely for this”. The work was carried out by Andrew Curtis, who runs a garden-design company based in Scarborough, and his colleague Joseph Armitage. On behalf of OurCo, Bob Duke, who has been a volunteer since it started, presented a cheque to the school. * OurCo, which is short for Our Community, is
a registered charity raising money for people in the Scarborough, Filey and Whitby area. Since it was set up in April 2015, over £70,000
has been raised and given away. Ourco has a charity shop in Northway. Donations of clothes, etc, are welcome.

Death of former Scarborough Teacher It is with great sadness we have to report the passing of Sister Agnes Mary O’Shea, 81 years, of the Daughters of Mary and Joseph. Sister Agnes started her teaching career at the Convent in Queen Street, Scarborough, when the Order went under the title “The Ladies of Mary” and she herself was officially known as Mother Mary Ancilla, but given nicknames by her pupils! Sister Agnes served where was needed and went on to travel the world and the UK teaching. Sister Agnes loved all her times in Scarborough and its people. Even in the latter stages of her illness, she was ever
hopeful of attending another reunion of the Convent ‘old gals’ or ‘ex cons’ as the former convent pupils now call themselves. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Sister Agnes Mary O’Shea passed away aged 81

Alf wasn’t just any old cactus grower DEAR EDITOR Following a plea in Scarborough Review for information on Alf Ward, who grew cacti somewhere in the Scarborough area, the lady who bought his house in Ridge Green, Scalby, made contact and sent many photographs and the address of his nephew who provided even more information. Alfred John Ward was not just any cactus grower. In the 1970s, he made friends with a grower in Birmingham called David Parker and passed on his passion for growing a particular genus of large-flowering cacti known as Echinocereus (Hedgehog cactus). Alf and David joining Bridlington and Birmingham branches of the British Cactus & Succulent Society respectively.
They made available a huge living resource of their collections to Nigel Taylor from Kew Gardens who visited both collections on numerous occasions to produce the 1985 monograph on Echinocereus. Alf and David’s plants were used to illustrate species and were acknowledged as key contributors to the study. I never met Alf, so the opportunity to reveal the importance of what he did for cacti has been something of a quest for me. It goes without saying that I too have a large collection of Echinocerei in North Yorkshire. Anybody interested in knowing more about Alf can visit my website at www.users. waitrose.com/ ~hectorandhebe/ Alf%20 Ward.html. On behalf of Alf, thank you Scarborough Review.

OCTOBER
HERE ARE A FEW FAMOUS FACES YOU SHARE YOUR SIGN WITH...
L to R: Eminem, Kim Kardashian & Simon Cowell
LIBRA
A busy and tiring period 23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT on the This will be a fortuitous period for launching new relationships and gaining greater depth of meaning and commitment within the framework of existing unions. It’s much easier to get what you want out of life when you and your partner are working towards a common goal, and this energy seems to gather strength throughout October with every passing day. Job and career aspects might be a bit stop-and-start, and certain plans may need to be postponed for a short time. Better to put something off and get it right first time, than
SCORPIO
23RD OCTOBER- 21ST NOVEMBER Some people might say that you’re being impulsive. You’re not – ignore them! You’ve thought long and hard about your options, and are now taking action. Just because you haven’t confided your plans to others doesn’t mean you haven’t thought them through carefully. You have!
SAGITTARIUS
22ND NOV - 21ST DEC There should be some pick up in your social life throughout October and there’ll be a pattern of meeting up with old friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Nights out in restaurants or stopovers in hotels may put some strain on your finances, but you’ll be getting something back for your money. This is an exciting time for new romance and refreshed commitment.
CAPRICORN
22ND DECEMBER - 20TH JANUARY October should pass quite quickly and smoothly. New household routines bring pleasure to some and frustration to others, while parents may have to intervene in the case of squabbling siblings. There’ll be some gentle pressure upon you to do something you’ve been putting off doing all year. Make a will, read a book, climb a mountain!
AQUARIUS
20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY Instead of waiting for someone (or something) to come to you, maybe you should make the first move. This should bring surprising and successful results, and your mood during the second half of the month will be significantly brighter than during the first couple of weeks. The 17th to the 24th will be a positive period for new doors opening.
PISCES
19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH Quite an easy going month, and a productive one for anyone involved in any aspect of the arts. Good communications with other people resolve problems and misunderstandings, and there will be some bright social events around the 9th and 10th and again on the 24th. Any money spent on selfimage is a good investment.
ARIES
21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL A routine month in many respects, without many highs or lows. Excitement can be found in the little things – like a night at the cinema, or dinner with friends. Work regimes are steady and predictable (which might not be a bad thing) and relationships
to act in haste and regret it afterwards. Anything to do with building works, home extensions and property improvement could well become relevant, but it’s probably not a good idea to try doing things on the cheap, or with an unrealistic budget. Younger Librans will feel the weight of parental pressure and authority, while older members of the sign may feel that younger people around them have completely lost the plot! Some Librans will find themselves being drawn into the world of politics: party politics, office politics, bedroom politics, and anything else that takes your fancy, including protest groups and council committees.
seem stable. While you probably won’t be jumping for joy, you will be aware of the fact that things could be a whole lot worse.
TAURUS
20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY October is never an easy month for the Bulls. Summer and autumn have gone, and now you’ve got to face another long winter! Taureans who can make themselves busy, even if it’s only by working for work’s own sake, do better than those who sit there doing nothing. The good news is that there is stability and predictability. Diet is probably a key factor in any health issues.
GEMINI
21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE October promises to be quite gentle, and will drift by without major incident. Any niggles will probably revolve around parent and child relationships, and Gemini grandparents will need to bite their tongues on more than one occasion. The pace of life picks up during the last few days when there will be a boost to your social life.
CANCER
21ST JUNE - 22ND JULY Quite a busy month on the social scene, with a steady combination of business and pleasure. Cancerian careerists will benefit from doing a bit of PR and networking, and single members of the sign should find themselves receiving compliments and flirtations – which will help open the doors of opportunity (if you’re looking for something more than this).
LEO
22ND JULY - 21ST AUGUST An argument with a friend or colleague during the first week of the month leaves a sour taste in your mouth, but it also puts you in a very determined mood to prove a few things to your critics and score some points in the process. October is an active (and in some ways aggressive) month, during which you’ll score a number of important goals, especially around the 16th, 17th and 18th.
VIRGO
23RD AUGUST - 22ND SEPTEMBER Cash flow could be a bit on the high side, especially if it’s time to pay a few bills. Having said that, there will be monetary gains to be made, especially between the 15th and 23rd when an ambition starts falling into place. Relationships need to be kept light, so concentrate on having some fun.

WORKMATE WOES Dear Daphne, I recently got a friend of mine a job at my workplace. The trouble is she has been a nightmare. She has called in sick on several Monday’s and has even just not showed up a couple of times too. My boss has mentioned it to me several times now and I don’t know what to do. I like her as a person but she’s a terrible coworker with no work ethic or conscience. You put your neck on the line for your friend when you got her a job. It’s doesn’t look like she respects you enough to even turn up on time. What a rubbish mate! Your boss will know that you wouldn’t have got her the job if you had known she would be so flaky. You’re going to have to explain to her that she’s letting you down as well as the company and it’s not fair after what you’ve done for her. Hopefully she will book her ideas up, or eventually get the sack. Either way – it’s not your fault so don’t beat yourself up about it. Daph x

intense and she won’t have meant you any harm. She’s simply not thought about how this would make you feel. I recommend you go on the hunt for another potential fancy dress partner to go in your fancy dress couple with you, and make your friend regret deserting ship when she sees how awesome your outfit looks. Revenge is a dish best served subtly, and without drama. Have fun! P.S - Super Mario is a totally acceptable fancy dress costume in its own right.
MUMZILLA Dear Daphne, My partner recently proposed, and we’ve started planning our wedding. I was excited to involve my mum in the planning, but it’s quickly becoming apparent that she wants to control everything. My partner and I want a low-key, intimate wedding, but mum has totally ignored this and started inviting everyone she knows – including her hairdresser, whom I’ve never even met. Should I say something, or go with her plans?
Dear Daphne, Halloween is my favourite time of year. I adore dressing up in fancy dress, especially when the theme is scary. For ages my best friend and I have been planning on going to the party we’re both invited to, in matching fancy dress of Super Mario and Luigi. I had already bought my outfit. Now she has turned round and told me that she’s going with her boyfriend instead and will be doing matching with him. I really wish she had told me sooner and feel totally deserted. People are allowed to change their minds, even if it’s a selfish decision that leaves you out of the loop. The old saying ‘sisters before misters’ is always over looked until it suits the sister in question, too. Try not to take it personally - love relationships can be
CONGRATS – and I’m talking to you here, not your mum. It’s perfectly ok for your mum to be excited about you tying the knot, but she’s not in charge. You are. The best, and usually most effective, method is to invite her round for a chat (tea and biscuits might help the situation) and explain that she needs to let you take care of the guest list and overall theme of the wedding. I’m sure there are areas that you would love her help in. Steer her in that direction and be firm. Perhaps she could organise her own party if she wants to invite her hairdresser? If she starts crying, make more tea, then calm her down by suggesting the two of you go out to choose her outfit together. Retail therapy, am I right? Good luck with your wedding!

Warming winter burners
AUTUMN signals darker nights, crunchy leaves and chilly homes. Whether you’re an autumn lover or sceptic, you can’t deny the snuggly comforting glow of a scented candle as the night draws in. We’ve set alight and smelt each of these autumn/winter winners to point you in the right direction.
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR It’s common knowledge that many plants have health benefits, not least that all plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen that we all need in order to breathe. But did you know that there are lots of houseplants which are excellent at cleaning and purifying the air? While we can all enjoy the fresh air of the great outdoors, spending hours nurturing our own gardens, the majority of us spend most of our time indoors. And whether we’re at home or in a work environment, many of us only have one or two houseplants and often don’t even consider that there may be health benefits to having more – such as reduced stress levels, improvement to mental health, better sleep and even faster recovery from the common cold and other minor ailments. In reality, our homes can hold quite a bit of air pollution and often fall below the recommended humidity levels due to more efficient heating and decreased air circulation. This then results in more allergens and conditions such as asthma, headaches, sore throats and those dreaded tickly coughs.
ROASTED SWEET CHESTNUT, PECAN, VANILLA BY SCARLETT AND NELL Chestnuts roasting on an open fire… A sweet caramelised scent paints a winter wonderland scene in style. This candle smells like a special occasion and we want every night on the sofa to be a special occasion. Hints of pecan, brazil nut and vanilla swirl in the background of this winter winner. £35 from scarletandnell.co.uk. FIRESIDE CANDLE & SNUFFER BY NOBLE ISLE A mixed review from the office. For some the heady mix of pepper, ginger and vanilla reminded them of bohemian vibes, while some of us thought of a sophisticated, sexy scent. Either way, we could agree that this lavish candle in the renowned Fireside fragrance captures the warmth of fiery embers of a winter’s day - we just can’t decide if the fire would belong to Don Draper from Mad Men or Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter. £39 from nobleisle.com.
cold night. Fruity top notes including raspberry and pomegranate, set up shop for pink pepper and jasmine, while woody undertones ramp up the comfort factor. Rich and sophisticated, this scent burns beautiful in its maroon glass container. £28 from John Lewis & Ted Baker Stores. BELLA FREUD STARRY STARRY NIGHTS CANDLE FROM STANWELLS BOUTIQUE Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name of this candle, it’s a grown up scent through and thorugh. When it’s crisp and clear outside, this scent offers a tonic in the form of cedarwood, tobacco and frankincense. This hand poured natural wax candle gives off a strong scent that will stand the test of time. £45 from Stanwells Boutique. HOUSE OF BLUBELL FIRESIDE BY WALTER & MAY Recreating the scent of our favourite place when the nights draw in - by the fire. These candle jars are all sprayed within the UK and burn for a minimum of 35 hours. £20 from Walter & May
PINK PEPPER & CEDARWOOD BY TED BAKER This spicy warm scent is the perfect anecdote for a
BREATHING SPACE In 1989, NASA conducted a study on tropical houseplants as a way of cleaning the air in space stations. What they found was that many of the plants removed toxins such as harmful benzene, formaldehyde, xylene and ammonia, many of which can be found in products such as household sprays, aerosols, furniture cleaners, detergents, paints and glues. Although the research is almost 30 years old, the results are still regarded as the most accurate to date. Some houseplants known to improve air quality indoors include: Boston Fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata); Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum); Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) and Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) – to name but a few. For best results, it’s recommended that at least one plant is placed in 100 square feet (approximately nine square meters) of indoor space.

DID YOU KNOW? Placing a few plants in your workplace can improve productivity and increase creativity. If placed in healthcare environments they can even lower people’s blood pressure and find things less stressful – proving that having plants in indoor spaces is, in fact, good for you!

BONE APPETIT Tried & Tested
CHOCOHOLICS might not need a special time of the year to indulge. But with October playing host to National Chocolate Week and Halloween, Chococo’s Dia de Los Muertos range is ticking vital boxes.
Trick or treat? Treat is the verdict
When chocolate looks as beautiful as the sugar skull inspired range from Chococo, it’s hard not to be sceptical about whether the taste lives up to the aesthetic. The hand decorated chocolate skulls are visually stunning and arrive unscathed through the post - pretty impressive. We didn’t need to worry about the taste either. Chococo have used top range chocolate to make their tasty treats. The Day of the Dead Skull Bar
is made from 43% milk chocolate with piped Colombian white chocolate for decoration. A smooth creamy flavour overall but it doesn’t forget its coco roots - there’s no over the top sweetness like you would find in supermarket brands. Top quality. The full range is available to order on its website www.chococo.co.uk or you can call up and order on 01929 421777 Top marks - theres’ a dark chocolate pumpkin and splatter skull bar suitable for vegans. available in the range, too.

Many people have large spiders in their houses and for some that is no problem. Others, who have arachnophobia, a fear of spiders, will have various symptoms related to seeing these creatures. They may include excessive sweating, raised heartbeat, hot flushes or chills, shortness of breath, pain or tightness in the chest area. Phobias are an extreme or irrational fear or aversion to something and can therefore be healed easily with the right know-how or guidance. The two most common phobias are the fear of spiders and the fear of heights, acrophobia.

Some techniques to clear your phobias are: Hypnotherapy, which I utilise often to help clients quickly and easily with phobia symptoms. I also use a technique called EMDR which is eye movement desensitisation, another quick and effective method. The flooding method, which works well alongside self-exposure to the fear. A psychologist or behavioural therapist can help efficiently with this. Self exposure, where a person is exposed to the cause of the fear. This works well if gradually introduced and then time is extended to the exposure. Fear is being created and eventually the client will go through the fear barrier. Reading and increasing your knowledge about what it is you fear. This helps the irrational be reframed within one’s thoughts. Meditation and relaxation techniques can help enormously so the individual can create a calmness rather than an agitated fear regarding their phobia. Eye accusing cues. When people become familiar with their own eye cues, it is a simple method to move from looking eyes down when one is in feelings, to looking up and visualising an image that creates a good positive feeling as opposed to fear. Medication can be prescribed by a GP to help with zanxiety and depression a phobia can create. I am often asked which is the most unusual phobia I have some across. A lady once came to me with a fear of turning left when driving. Because of this she had given up driving altogether. One session sorted the issue and she remembered how the fear had come about. Next time she visited me, for a different issue, she drove to my clinic. Fear of bridges and pylons also spring to mind. What is your phobia, if any? I am interested to know. Email me at terryanne21@ gmail.com. If you have a fear, don't suffer in silence. There are many solutions available.

HOLISTIC WEIGHT-LOSS SUPPORT GROUP FOR WOMEN LAUNCHED By Dave Barry A HOLISTIC weight-loss support group for women weighing 16 stone and over is to run in Scarborough. It is for women looking for consistent, compassionate but firm support to move into a healthier, happier way of living. The group is being run by Annie Willerton, who has worked as a holistic massage therapist and teacher for over 30 years. She is deeply compassionate in her awareness of how hard it is to walk through her door to start this work and is patient and understanding of how hard it is to stay on track. Annie calls herself a firm, loving boot. She fully understands that 'falling off the wagon' is inevitable, but believes that with the will to get back on track and non-judgemental support, real and lasting change is achievable. She says: “This course is not a quick fix. It is suitable for women willing to commit to a minimum of a year who want to make a lasting improvement to their quality of life”. In addition to the physical aspects of weight loss, this approach pays attention to mental and emotional issues, providing a soulful approach to creating a healthier lifestyle. A client called Jenni provided the following testimonial: “I arrived at Annie's door weighing 20 stone, unhappy, in pain, needing two new knees. Never before have I experienced the quality of caring she has given me. I feel it has
given me the chance to change my life forever. I have been nurtured, challenged and supported in a compassionate way. The whole experience has been liberating and joyful and I am four stones lighter. I wish you the same”. An introductory talk will be given at Plaxton Court, off Woodlands Drive, on Friday 16 November at 4pm.

The Bridge over the Woodland Ravine Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology
PEASHOLM BECK marked the northern edge of the Scarborough parish boundary established in the charter of 1256. The extensive development by the civil engineer William Smith, developing Peasholm from allotments and swineries into the park, wasn’t the first break to the northern boundary. Minor tweaking to the beck in the years prior to the lake being dug out must have occurred to suit those who had allotments and kept livestock in the area. But 40 years prior to the landscaping of the park, a significant and permanent break in the northern boundary occurred when the railway line to Whitby was built by the Scarborough and Whitby Railway Company. The railways contributed to a change in the outlook of the town and led to its rapid expansion. An area of the old boundary along Peasholm Glen that was known as Barrow Cliff, because of the ancient barrows found on the sides of the glen, gave its name to a new housing estate that was built much later in the fields and allotments to the north. The common name of the boundary, Barrow Cliff, moves north, although the actual physical boundary does not. The Barrowcliff estate became the custodian of the old name and the old area that was the Barrow Cliff
The Bridge over the Woodland Ravine
became known as Peasholm Glen. To lay the railway, Peasholm Beck at the Woodlands Ravine area had to be piped underground and a large area of earth needed to be filled in to lay the railway and to build the bridge over the line. As this development was largely done by shovel and cart, you can appreciate what a physically hard job this would have been. At the drain in the fenced-off pond on Woodlands Ravine, the beck line drops under nine metres of heaped aggregate earth where the new Manor Road bridge and railway line was built. On the other side of the bridge, the drain drops to the bottom of the cemetery, which has been dug out into terraces and escarpments. The beck would have meandered right, under the cemetery bridge, and then turned left. The cemetery then opens into a flat grassed area, now full of headstones, and the drain moves forward towards an area of heaped earth four or five metres high before the lily pond. Although it’s a far cry from a bubbling purling brook, in dappled shade these sleepy terraces and hollows are still a beautiful place to walk and a very much overlooked area of Scarborough. The meandering shape of this dank dingle is the result of the beck’s original path. On the bend it seems to have discoloured many of the grave stones with a russet complexion. Imagine what the area must have been like with steam engines rattling over the top. The trees planted in this area seem to be themed, in the same way that the trees planted in the glen development were themed around natural forest environments. The tree species in this are from the Californian mountains and the Sierra Nevada. For example, there is a giant redwood, coastal redwoods and a swamp white oak, a rare tree in northern England. There is an aged durmast oak tree and a cristate beech, another rare tree and the tallest of its kind in Yorkshire. The trees at the very top of the glen near Manor Road Bridge

Ancient beaver damns South this month, to Flamborough and Skipsea. Not in search of lovely chalk cliffs and sandy beaches. Instead we were looking for ancient beaver dams. All will be revealed, but first let’s talk about ice. Around 12,000 years ago this area was near the edge of a retreating ice sheet. After roughly
100,000 years of intense cold the world was getting dramatically warmer. The warming process wasn’t smooth; there were seasonal fluctuations and for some time this area was a periglacial environment. That means there was ice, vast amounts of meltwater, lakes, outflow channels, gravel beds and moraines all mixed up together in an ever-changing landscape. The fascinating thing is that all this is visible

When the railway line running north was being laid, the Victorian values of progress and industry were prevalent throughout the country. Great cultural changes were occurring as a result of a different attitude towards the land’s resources.

in the cliffs around Bridlington and further south. At South Landing, where we began our field trip, there are clear changes as you move across the cliff face. In places the evenly bedded chalk reaches near to the top of the cliff, but in many other places there are clearly channel-shaped inserts in the chalk. These were either pre-existing valleys or dips in the chalk, or were channels cut into the chalk by glaciation and by glacial meltwater. These channels are now stuffed full of all kinds of debris. In some cases this is a chalk-based gravel – material ripped off the underlying chalk beds by ice and water and broken into pieces. Other channels are wider – more like small lakes – and are filled with silt embedded with boulders and pebbles.
From the sizes and orientation of the pebbles we can tell where the material came from, the speed and direction of travel. At Skipsea, in contrast, the low cliff is completely made of glacial debris. Here there is another cliff channel but this one is packed full of wood: whole trunks, braches and twigs all in a mish-mash. Its origin remained something of a puzzle until a couple of years ago when students from Hull came across a clump of thick black hair. Analysis showed it to be beaver hair – Skipsea, it turns out, is home to a 12,000-year-old beaver dam. The great thing about geology is that it comes up with strange answers to straightforward questions.

Curious Roots

The month of October The Berwick corpse was seen regularly about the city, with a pack of barking dogs in pursuit. It took ten men to cut that to pieces and burn it. After the medieval period ghosts took over from revenants, although old beliefs lingered on in attitudes to criminals, witches, and suicides. After death their bodies were staked — a wooden stake was driven through the heart — or they were buried face down. Both methods were thought to prevent corpses Painted by Irish Artist Daniel Maclise in 1833 “walking”. Incredibly, staked burial for A sunny October can be very pleasant, fully suicides remained law until 1823. deserving its reputation as the golden month.

THE Scarborough-based Yorkshire Pelargonium and Geranium Society scooped a premier gold medal at the autumn flower show in Harrogate. Show secretary Brian Boyes said it had been hard work getting the plants ready and in tiptop condition for the three-day event. “But it was all worth it when the judges assessed the display and considered it worthy of such a prestigious award”, he said. It was the first time the society had entered the show in recent times. “We wanted to promote our group and we couldn’t think of a better way to showcase
our plants than taking them to this show”, Mr Boyes said. “The interest shown by visitors in the stand was overwhelming”, he said. “We hope this has rekindled interest in this lovely group of plants. Over 20 garden societies exhibited a diverse range of plants such as roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums and carnations”. The society meets on the last Sunday of the month, from 2-4pm, at Seamer & Irton Memorial Hall in Seamer. Its annual show is held at Hunmanby community centre. Membership costs £4 or £6 for a couple.
Congratulations to the Yorkshire Pelargonium and Geranium Society who took their plants to Harrogate Autumn Flower Show for judges inspection and came away with a Premier Gold award. This was a great achievement and something worth celebrating but it set this Muck and Magic gardener thinking of how much effort goes into getting plants ready for a show. The Pelargonium growers will start now in preparation for next years show season. Plants will be brought back home to greenhouse benches, watered and settled in ready for cutting back. This pruning helps to keep the plant compact as it encourages young shoots which hold next seasons flowers. It’s also an ideal opportunity to root some cuttings as new stock for next season. Even if you are not growing for showing but just keeping a few plants on the kitchen window sill , you can follow this practice and save yourself some money by not having to buy new stock next season. There’s still time to do this whilst the sun has some warmth or if you have a propagator with a bit of bottom heat. Make your cuttings 3 to 4 inches long and trim them with a pair of sharp scissors to just below a leaf joint. Trim off the bottom pair of leaves being careful not to peel the skin away from the main stems as this may cause rotting. You can use ordinary compost but add some horticultural grit or sharp sand to keep the pot well drained. Some growers advise putting several cuttings around the edge of a 5 inch pot but this may cause root disturbance when you come to pot up so perhaps it may be wise
to put a single cutting in a much smaller pot. Muck and Magic gardeners are commonly asked if hormone rooting powder is needed. The answer is no as the plant material you are using will be reasonably soft and, given the right conditions, your cuttings should romp away. Pot up when roots have formed into a gritty, well draining compost. Watering at this time of the year is the biggest challenge in the world of Pelargoniums. Too much water will induce the dreaded botrytis or grey moul qd with precious plants rotting off at the base. Generally, they can cope with very little water , just enough to get them through the dark days of winter without dying of thirst! Always water from the bottom. Plants should be kept at temperatures which are cool but frost free. The Yorkshire Pelargonium Society meet on a Sunday afternoon at Seamer Memorial Hall and meetings begin at 2pm. The next meeting will be on Sunday October 21st when Pete Rogers from Burnby Hall Gardens will be visiting to talk about the gardens and wildlife there. Muck and Magic Garden Club will be meeting on Monday 8th October at Ebenezer Church Hall on Columbus Ravine in Scarborough beginning at 7pm. Dr Peter Williams will be talking about People, Plants and Places. Everyone is welcome and further details are available from muckandmagic@ hotmail.com Happy Gardening!
Multiple triumphs at Yorkshire in Bloom Scarborough and Filey community groups triumphed at Yorkshire in Bloom. They have won four platinum, five gold and three silver-gilt awards. The Friends of Filey Parks beat off the competition to win the class for parks, gardens and open spaces, bagging a platinum certificate. The judges described Glen and Crescent gardens as a riot of colour and said they were delighted to see the sculpture trail installed by volunteers in Glen Gardens. Friends groups at South Cliff, Dean Road cemetery and Peasholm Park in Scarborough were also awarded platinum certificates. The judges said Shuttleworth garden on the South Cliff was a beautiful surprise. They congratulated the Friends of Dean and Manor Road Cemetery for being “a cohesive and committed group with a sense of direction”. Family fun days organised by Peasholm Friends were highlighted as a sign of the hard work that is taking place in the park. Scarborough Council’s community environment officer for the borough, Roger Burnett, says the results show how much hard work volunteers are putting into their communities. “All our community groups should be
extremely proud of their results,” he said. The judges commented on “the beautiful hidden gardens” in Scarborough’s old town. “We’ve never had as many points”, said resident and ward councillor Janet Jefferson. “We got 81, which got us a silvergilt certificate”. Hunmanby in Bloom won the grow-yourcommunity class, bagging a gold medal. Friends of Falsgrave Park volunteers entered the Yorkshire in Bloom spring competition and were awarded a gold certificate, impressing the judges with spring blossom and daffodils. Businesses and organisations which fared well included Friarage School, Basin Howe Farm Cottages at Sawdon, Proudfoot supermarket at Newby, Filey Bistro and Filey Town Council. Yorkshire in Bloom co-ordinator John Stanley said everyone had rallied round after an exceptionally cold winter and the intense heat of the summer. “Community spirit in Yorkshire will always bring people together to overcome adversity”, he said. A full list of the Yorkshire in Bloom results is at www.yorkshireinbloom.co.uk. * The Muck ’n’ Magic awards will be presented at the Spa on 3 October.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
‘Innovative novelistic jewel’ finally published in English Words and photo by Dave Barry A book on the harsh lives of Spanish conscripts fighting in Morocco in 1928 has been translated by a Scarborough linguist and writer. The Blockhouse is by Spanish author and journalist José Díaz-Fernández (1898-1941), the Republican press chief in Barcelona during the Spanish civil war. When the Nationalists won, he fled Spain with his family, crossing the Pyrenees to France on foot. Along with many other Republican refugees, he was interned by the French authorities. He was released, lived in Toulouse and was planning to leave for Cuba but died suddenly in February 1941. The Blockhouse is about the soldiers called up to serve in the Spanish army during one of the country’s Moroccan wars. Written in 1928 and based on the author’s military experiences, it has been described by Víctor Fuentes, emeritus professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara, as “an innovative novelistic jewel”. The novel has been edited and translated into English by literary translator Paul Southern of Scarborough and Professor Adolfo CampoyCubillo of Oakland University in Michigan USA. “Last year, Adolfo and I gave a lecture on our book to undergraduates and some staff at his university. My contribution was live via Facetime”, Paul says. Now, the pair are collaborating on another of Díaz-Fernández’s works. Red October in Asturias is about the armed uprising of Spanish miners in the province of Asturias in 1934, two years before the civil war broke out.
Paul has previously written two books. Francisco Franco’s Moroccan War Diary 1920-1922 (2007) is a record of the Spanish dictator’s service with the Spanish Foreign Legion in Africa. Portugal: The Scramble for Africa (2010) covers Portugal’s colonial involvement in Angola, Portuguese Guinea and Mozambique from 1850 to 1920. He has also written several articles on historical events in Portugal’s former colonies. Paul is the official translator of prose and poetry by Guinea-Bissau writer and broadcaster Waldir Araújo. Narratives of Guinea-Bissau’s Troubled Identity (2014) and the short story No Reasons for Bitterness (2017) are available online at theculturetrip. com. Paul is now completing his fourth book, a biography of the last Portuguese king. The narrative traces Manuel II’s life and times, following a tortuous path from the marriage of his grandfather, Luis I, through to the Braganza dynasty’s fall in 1910, and culminating in Manuel’s sudden, tragic death in Twickenham in 1932. He ascended the throne aged 18 on the assassination of his father, Carlos I, and his brother, Crown Prince Luís Filipe. His very public affair with the controversially exotic French show girl Gaby Deslys played a large part in toppling the Portuguese throne. Paul attended the former Friarage Secondary Modern School in Scarborough. He studied at the universities of Leeds, Santiago de Compostela in Spain and Coimbra in Portugal. He was a teacher in the UK, Bermuda and southern Africa, and for many years taught Spanish and Portuguese at the former Scarborough Technical College.
Words and photos by Dave Barry RUBBISH washed up on the beaches has been imaginatively recycled into a work of art. Plastic bottles, lengths of rope, sandcastle moulds, mini-spades, play-balls and sunglasses are among the litter harvested by Janet White and members of the public. Janet, who has had a studio residency at Crescent Arts since 2015, has arranged her collection of detritus in the middle of the floor of the long room at Scarborough Art Gallery. She is one of four local artists who have mounted an exhibition based on plastic pollution; the others are Kane Cunningham, Rachel Messenger and Justin DL. Using the foraged materials, they have produced artwork inspired by seascapes depicted in the gallery’s collection. Supermarket group Proudfoot indirectly commissioned the artists with a £2,500 grant to Scarborough Museums Trust. The money was raised from the sale of 5p carrier bags. The trust hopes the exhibition will become a community project, highlighting local people’s pride in protecting the town’s beautiful coastline. Collections manager Jennifer Dunne said: “The recycling issues that prompted the introduction of charges for plastic bags and the environmental problems facing our seas due to rising plastic pollution made us reconsider how to approach our next exhibition”. Proudfoot director Valerie Aston added: “Despite seeing a huge decline in the sale of carrier bags in our stores, following the introduction of the 5p charge, we were delighted that the funds raised from the remaining carrier bags bought by customers
are able to support some fantastic local causes”. The exhibition runs until 6 January.

African stars headline Musicport festival in Whitby by Dave Barry THREE leading African acts headline the 19th annual Musicport festival at Whitby Pavilion from 19-21 October. Vieux Farka Touré, from Mali, has been dubbed the Hendrix of the Sahara, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Ali Farka Touré.
Vieux Farka Touré, from Mali Mokoomba are “the best young band in Zimbabwe” according to the Guardian’s Robin Denslow. Jon Pareles of the New York Times called lead singer Mathias Muzaza's vocal range “riveting” and “griot-strength”.
Ivory Coast singer Dobet Gnahoré, one of the highlights of Musicport 2010, has won a Grammy for her collaboration with India Arie. With five stages, a bazaar, food vans, a safe, warm and family friendly atmosphere and the option of indoor camping in a nearby church hall, Musicport has the outdoor festival vibe but is protected from the elements, says director Jim McLaughlin. The other acts include: On their first UK visit, Réunion’s Destyn Maloya Band - six young musicians, singers and percussionists - will play music rooted in slavery, with strong ties to Creole culture.
Destyn Maloya Band Galicia Celtic band Luar Na Lubre, celebrating 17 albums and 300,000 sales in their 30-year history. Mike Oldfield used their song O Son do Ar on his Voyager album. Tubular Bells III featured their vocalist and they toured with him as support band. Adrian Sherwood, maverick artist, producer, performer and boss of the cult British label On-U Sound Records, with a powerful, bassdriven DJ and live mix of contemporary dub, original roots, dance and reggae. London’s funk-fuelled Tankus the Henge are like the Clash from New Orleans.
Tankus the Henge, from London Olcay Bayir, from Turkey, is a classically trained singer whose musical heritage embraces traditional folk songs from the Mediterranean, Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Baka Beyond, on their 25th anniversary tour, fuse their Celtic and African roots with the ancient rhythms of Cameroon’s Baka forest pygmies to create infectious music which crosses boundaries of genre, age and ethnicity. Hamsa unite the music of Jewish eastern Europe and Sephardic Turkey in an authentic and powerful Mediterranean mélange. The Other Half is a collaboration between best-selling crime writer Mark Billingham and poignant country duo My Darling Clementine. The Jasdeep Singh Degun Quartet is led by one of the great young sitar players of the UK, who has worked with Nitin Sawhney and Vangelis. He first played Musicport with Goldie’s band 12lve. The Sätteli Sisters, from Switzerland, blend wonderful harmonies and beautiful songs from the Swiss traditions. Natalie Duncan’s debut album has been described as “compositionally between Pink Floyd and Alicia Keys”. “An incandescent star is born”, opined a Sunday Times reviewer. Philip Rambow, from Montreal, has worked with Kirsty MacColl, Brian Eno and Mick Ronson. His first UK band, the Winkies,
influenced the Clash. Edwina Hayes is “so gifted and full of song, with a voice as sweet as the angels”, according to Nanci Griffith. Her version of Randy Newman’s Feels Like Home was the theme tune for the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper. Merlyn Driver is a musician and songwriter from Orkney whose traditional music he combines with influences from further afield. Singer-songwriter Afnan Prince’s shows powerfully tell his story through hearttouching lyrics, infectious melodies and masterful vocals. The Hub DJs will keep the vibe going in the Musicport café all weekend and led by the unpronounceable DJ fflyffilyfbbl and his gang of DJs/VJs. Bob’s Blundabus is a quirky alternative venue where all kinds of comic, magic, music and spoken-word things happen. Musicport features the Lighthouse open-mic stage and a pop-up headphone cinema, with various films over the weekend. Some of the Musicport acts will go on a mini-tour of nearby villages during the week afterwards. Tickets cost £125 for the weekend (concessions £115, 11-18s £50). Friday night: £30. Saturday: early session £25, late session £30, full day £50. Sunday: early session £25, late session £28, full day £48. 11-18s half price on all day and session tickets.

Dogs and owners on best behaviour at Daft Doggie show Words and photos by Dave Barry MOST of the dogs - and humans - were on their best behaviour at the seventh annual Daft Doggie show in Falsgrave Park, Scarborough. Being a fun show, it featured lots of cross breeds, or mongrels. The judge, Chris Knight, had her work cut out, choosing the best in various categories. Prizes were awarded for the prettiest bitch, the handsomest dog, the best buddies, the best mover, the best golden oldie (aged at least seven), the best biscuit catcher, the quickest recall, the best retriever and the best in show. Scarborough & District All-Breeds Dog Training Club ran the show at the invitation of Dorothy Russell, who chairs the Friends of Falsgrave Park. The club is chaired by June Woods, who accompanied Chris in the judging ring.
Clever boy: Irish terrier Brodie, pictured with proud owner Jo Kunkel, was the best retriever and the second best biscuit catcher (to order photos ring 353597)
The show was held in the park’s upper meadow, near the stone circle. It is one of the few places in town where dogs can legally be let off the lead. The classes and winners were announced by town crier David Birdsall, who is a member of the park’s Friends group. The winners were Luna (whose handler was Summer Howard), Ross (Karen Howard), Buddy (Cleo Hunter), Lucy (Linda Shaw), Mia (Peter Thorpe), Alfie (Hannah Mitchell), Brodie (Jo Kunkel) and Max (Maisie Taylor). The runners-up were Misty (Leona Weaver), Fudge (Elaine Sinclair), Poppy (Helen Greison), Cody (Tracey Muschamp), Sammy (Claire Butterfield), Jarvis (Paddy Bateson), Lara (Fleur and Maisie Taylor), Ronnie (Ruby Burley), Minnie (Kai Howard), Freya (Ann Gaskin), Troy (Rob Robson), Sophie (Linda Shaw), Lucky (Alan Pearson), Maisy (Gill

Coastival 2019 finds time to evolve NEXT year’s Coastival will explore time and evolution to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The Scarborough festival, which has received Arts Council funding, will feature a potent blend of music, visual arts, theatre, dance and comedy. Co-producers Wendy Holroyd and Georgie Samuels are looking for local artists and performers to prepare contributions. They hope to feature local schools in a celebration of the town’s history. Wendy says: “Way back then we had no idea there would be an appetite for a February arts festival but it has gone from strength to strength.
“We want to celebrate time from [many] perspectives – a celebration of the past and looking ahead to the future. “If you like, the festival will be a fusion of the past and future to give us something new, exciting and celebratory for the present”. Coastival, from 22-24 February, will consider how time might inform the process of creativity; how old techniques can be fused with modern approaches to create new and exciting ideas. Creatively, it might be the start of something new, or it might be time to evolve something already established. Or it could be a fusion of old and new. Website: www.coastival.com.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Suffragette expressed her arty side in Scarborough Words and photo by Dave Barry A small touring exhibition of artwork by Sylvia Pankhurst is at Scarborough Art Gallery until 6 January. Sixteen powerful pictures by the suffragette include one painted in Scarborough, entitled Scotch fisher lassie cutting herrings - although the subject appears more of an older woman than a lassie. She was one of the Scottish fisherwomen who followed the herring fleets down the east coast, cleaning and packing the fish when the boats came in. Pankhurst found them beautiful, “like a shoal of sea birds”, singing and chattering over their work. It’s unclear whether she knew the difference between shoal and flock. Her art, in gouache and pastel, supported her argument to increase women’s pay and improve their working conditions. Pankhurst’s well-known work as a pioneer for the suffragette movement, and later as an
anti-fascist campaigner, overshadowed her abilities as a talented artist. Her captivating artwork allows a look into the type of experiences which helped forge her strong socialist beliefs. Pankhurst (1882-1960) spent much of her life juggling art and campaigning. A tour of the industrial communities of northern England and Scotland in 1907 gave her an opportunity to merge her two passions, resulting in historical and poignant pieces. She recorded the lives of working women in the pottery, shoe-making, fishing and spinning industries with fluid, simple and emphatic portraits and scenes. While her mother, Emmeline Pankhurst, pushed the Women’s Social Union (which they created together with her sister Christabel in 1903) into the support of the middle class, Sylvia retained her initial beliefs by continuing her campaign for working-class women. When Sylvia made the decision to devote her
life to her political work in 1912, six years before the vote was passed, her focus on art was lost.
The exhibition marks the centenary of women over 30 being granted the right to vote, via the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act.

Time-travelling Pierrots and a spooky mystery from Beach Hut Photos by Charles Spencer BEACH Hut Theatre is busy getting ready for productions at Scarborough Library and the Market Hall. The company’s time-travelling pop-up Pierrots are about to return to the library with a new comedy musical adventure for all the family. Pop-Up Pierrots Shout Out Loud is by John Pattison and Alison Watt, the company’s artistic Directors. On a fun-filled journey, plucky Pierrots and superheroes discover the importance of communication and the exciting ways it has changed us all. Making history come alive, the show looks at the various ways people communicate with each other and how this has developed through the centuries. Chaos and laughter are guaranteed, with daft jokes, madcap songs and all-round silly antics - look out for the pigeons! Pop-Up Pierrots Shout Out Loud can be seen in the main part of the library on 6 October, at 10am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm. It is a free event and there is no need to book.
Market Vaults (below the hall), is a new ghost story, full of thrills and scares. The Haunting of the Vaults, an immersive, site-specific, supernatural mystery, runs from 24-27 October, at 7pm and 8.30pm. The audience will be encouraged to be a part of the story and watch as the spooky drama unfolds around them. It’s about a spiritualist medium who believes an apparition resides in the Vaults and is determined to make contact. But, in this game of fear, what other players are on the board? Writer and director Paul Spencer says: “It is a great location for such a shadowy, mysterious story with its underground chambers and oldtown history. Think of the spirit world as a great house that is dark, blue and silent. It’s all around us, occupying the same space - but we cannot see it. Are you willing to unlock the door and peer inside?” Tickets cost £8 and can be bought on the door and from the House of Gaia in the Vaults and It is part of Scarborough Fun Palace at the Deli Delicious in the Market Hall. The latter library. will sell drinks from 6pm. * Beach Hut’s second production, in the

Kiss Me, Kate survives the test of time Photo by Tony Bartholomew REHEARSALS are well under way for a new production of Kiss Me, Kate in Scarborough from 25-28 October. It will be presented by UK Foundation for Dance and Sandside Players at the YMCA Theatre. Cole Porter’s classic backstage musical is celebrating 70 years since its triumphant 1948 Broadway premiere. It won the first Tony award for a musical and was followed by long runs in New York and London, the hit 1953 MGM film and constant productions around the world ever since, including three in Yorkshire this year alone. A play within a play, it’s about a theatre company performing a new musical version of Shakespeare’s comedy The Taming of the Shrew. It’s set on the opening night, in Baltimore in 1948, in a stifling heatwave. Tension mounts and romantic complications ensue, as the on-stage sparring of Kate and Petruchio, played by a recently divorced couple, spills over backstage. An ambitious nightclub singer is determined to become a Broadway star at any cost, despite her feckless boyfriend’s antics, the leading lady threatens to quit and the show is saved by the unexpected intrusion of two gangsters with Shakespearean pretensions. Cole Porter’s hit-packed score includes Another Op’nin’, Another Show, Too Darn Hot, Why Can’t You Behave?, So in Love, Always True to You in my Fashion, Wunderbar, I Hate Men and Brush up Your Shakespeare. Under the expert musical direction of Bill Scott, Kiss Me, Kate is directed by Tim Tubbs and choreographed by Katrina Flynn. The show’s 29-strong cast includes Rebecca Kelly-Evans as Kate, Damon Hotchin as Petruchio, Georgie Samuels as Bianca, Liam

A great Broadway classic, Kiss Me, Kate promises an amusingly witty story of egocentric actors, backstage feuds and Shakespearian shenanigans, with gorgeous costumes, songs and dances. The show can be seen at 7.30pm on 25-27 October and 3pm on 28 October. Tickets cost £12 (seniors £10, under-18s £7.50). Groups get a free ticket with every 10 purchased. To book, ring 506750 or go online at www.ymcascarborough.uk.
Popular banjo player is back at Woodend MEAN MARY is popular among the Scarborough area’s banjo players. Famed for her lightning-fast banjo playing, she has played at Woodend several times and is back on 6 October. “People often bring their banjos to be signed by her and you often get a sort of banjo-appreciation society meet up at her gigs”, says promoter Chris Lee, who finds it “bizarre but oddly touching”. The Americana, bluegrass, blues and folk artist, from Nashville, also plays fiddle and guitar. Straddling the folk and country spectrums, she will be playing songs from her new album, Blazing Mary. Chris says she has a large following on social media and some of her Facebook videos have had millions of hits. She will be accompanied by her brother, Frank James. Dan Webster, from York, will play the support slot. Next at Woodend is singer songwriter Nathan Bell (9 Oct). Expect “sharp-edged songs with a gravelly but poetic voice comparable to the likes of Townes, Guy Clark and John Prine”, says Chris. “He’s an accomplished guitar player with a deft bluesy style”. Filling the support slot will be talented local artist Lottie Holmes. Colorado bluegrass band Ragged Union
Lottie Holmes make their Woodend debut on 18 October. Chris says the band features “a national mandolin champion, a cult hero songwriter, an award-winning banjo player, a highly respected fiddle player and a creative and driven songwriter and flatpicker. “Although ostensibly a bluegrass band, they are versatile enough to co-exist in the trad, progressive and jam band worlds”. Gigs start at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £10; to book, ring 384500.
Filey choir gives free sing-along concert Words and photos by Dave Barry IRTON Garden Centre’s cafe was full when Filey Fishermen's Choir gave a free singalong concert. Lyric sheets were handed out for the audience to join in with songs, beginning with Will Your Anchor Hold by William Kirkpatrick. The choir, formed in the late 19th century, sang for an hour and a quarter, accompanied on organ by Francis Appleby. Chorister Michael Kitchen said: “We sang there for the first time in May and it went down so well that we were invited back”. The choir will be back again for a carol service on 12 December, at 7pm. Again, no charge will be made for admission. The men-only choir has about 30 engagements
a year, singing during church services. Members have always practised on Saturday evenings, because they didn’t fish on Sundays. However, they are reputed to have waited on the Coble Landing for the St Oswald’s Church clock to strike midnight before launching out for the new week’s fishing. The large repertoire is mainly made up of Christian songs of the sea, such as Pull for the Shore, Eternal Father, Blue Galilee, Fierce Raged the Tempest, etc. Rehearsals are at Filey Methodist Church on Station Avenue, from about 6.30pm to 7.45pm. New members are welcome. If you would like to join, either just turn up or ring Michael Kitchen on 891215.

Snake Davis and Chris Difford to play Hackness HACKNESS Music Live may be a relatively small venture but it is attracting some big names. The latest are saxophonist Snake Davis (19 Oct) and Squeeze co-founder Chris Difford (16 Nov), who will play at Hackness Grange Hotel. Snake put the icing on the cake for Take That’s A Million Love Songs, M People’s Search For the Hero and many other hits. In Hackness, he will be flanked by singer Helen Watson, who has collaborated with some of the best musicians in the business, including Albert Lee, Little Feat, the Eagles’ Bernie Leadon and Andy Fairweather Low; and double bassist Dave Bowie Jr, who plays with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Together, the trio are Burden of Paradise, who live in “a world of tenderness, virtuosity and human frailty”, according to promoter Diane Palmer. They play “jazz for people who don’t like jazz, but also for those who do”. As a member of one of the UK’s best-loved bands, Chris Difford has made a lasting contribution to the nation’s music with hits such as Cool For Cats, Up the Junction, Labelled With Love, Hourglass and Tempted. Difford and Glenn Tilbrook recently wrote two new Squeeze albums. The first, based on the life of Danny Baker, was the soundtrack for a BBC2 production called Cradle to Grave, starring Peter Kay. All original music, it became the first Squeeze record in 15 years. The most recent Squeeze album, The Knowledge, was released to rave reviews in 2017. Over the course of a 14-album career with Squeeze, it was clear from the beginning
that Difford had few equals when it comes to smart, pithy lyricism. He learned to stand on his own when he wrote the lyrics for the fictional band Strange Fruit in the 1998 British comedy film Still Crazy, winning his first Ivor Novello award. The soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy. Difford has written with Jools Holland, Paul Carrack and Elton John. Chris to the Mill, a box set of his three studio albums, came out last year, followed by the album Fancy Pants, written with Boo Hewerdine. Difford published his autobiography, Some Fantastic Place, which he toured around bookshops and small theatres. He has invited local singer-songwriter Phil Hooley to open the Hackness show. The two met earlier in the year at one of Difford’s songwriter workshops. Phil will be accompanied by the multi-talented Dave Kemp. The music starts at 8pm. Tickets for both shows cost £12 and can be booked by ringing 882421 or emailing hacknessmusiclive@gmail.com.
Poem of the month by Ben Robinson
Breakfast at yours We dreamed it was like breakfast at Tiffany’s, To cover up our nightmare of tyranny, But I’ll never forget the night I dreamt, We had breakfast at yours, Cornflakes and milk on the kitchen floor. After that, you took away the pain, Made me give away my love, But it ended in tears and shame, And me lying alone in the foxgloves, They say maybe the truth is covered by lies, And maybe in a lie, lies the truth, For when the devil finally cried, I knew you were a brute, So I’m better off living without you, Better off living the truth, I’m better off loving without you, Better off loving for truth, I know I’m better off without you. It wasn’t really like breakfast at Tiffany’s, More like a reign of tyranny, But I’ll never forget the night I dreamt, We had breakfast at yours, Cornflakes and milk on the kitchen floor. Ben Robinson is a writer from Scarborough who has had success with his debut poetry collection Serpents, released in 2018. He has also had success in scriptwriting and written a play called Three People. For enquiries please contact ben366007@gmail.com.

Lassie comes home to Filey T H E remarkable life of the Yo r k s h i r e born author of Lassie, ComeHome was the subject of a talk at Filey library. Malton-born Greg Christie spoke about the extraordinary life and works of Eric Knight. The novelist was the youngest of three sons born to Quakers. His father was a rich diamond merchant who, when Eric was two, was killed during the Boer War. His mother then moved to St Petersburg in Russia to work as a governess for the imperial family. The Knight family settled in the United States in 1912. Knight had a varied career, including service as a signaller in Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry during World War One then as a captain of field artillery in the US army reserve until 1926. He had stints as an art student, newspaper reporter and Hollywood screenwriter. He married twice and had three daughters. Widely believed to be operating as a spy, he died in a mysterious plane crash in South America in 1943. According to Wikipedia, the hyphen in the book title refers to Lassie allegedly being a ‘come-home’ dog. In the novel, a cynical character falsely accuses a family of training such dogs for fraud: “I know all about yer and yer come-home dogs. Training ’em to break loose and run right back ’ome when they’re sold, so then ye can sell ’em to someone else”. Christie’s book, Knight: Yorkshireman, Storyteller, Spy, and Lassie, Come-Home are available to borrow at Filey library.
Comedy in Filey and Burniston THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT will be performed by Esk Valley Theatre at the village hall in Burniston on 4 November and the Evron Centre in Filey on 6 November. Bill Manhoff’s heart-warming comedy is about unexpected love and the attraction of opposites. It concerns two unlikely neighbours: Doris, a
prostitute who aspires to be an actress, and Felix, who works in a bookshop but aspires to be a novelist. Their worlds collide when Felix takes exception to Doris’s antics. The play, a hit on Broadway in the 1960s, was made into a successful film starring Barbara Streisand and George Segal.
Celebrate mental health Diva talks at Woodend awareness in Eastfield A SERIES of Tuesday lunchtime lectures on demigod divas takes place in the Sitwell library at Woodend, Scarborough, in October.

makes a true diva (23 Oct). The one-hour lectures, starting at 1pm, cost £5 (seniors £4) or £15 for four (£12 concessions) and can be booked by ringing 384500. Booking is recommended.

Ravenscar exhibition raises £1,300 A SCARBOROUGH Stitchers exhibition raised over £1,300 for St Hilda's Church in Ravenscar, where it was staged. It was seen by nearly 300 people. The stitching techniques, including crossstitch, Hardanger, gold work, pulled and drawn thread, canvas work and thread painting, showed the varied interests and expertise of group members. Embroideries of identical size, worked on the same material and in matching frames, depicted wild flowers and grasses, meadow plants and a mole.
Victorian needlework boxes, one from a well-to-do household and one from a mill worker's home, created a great deal of interest as much work had been done researching their histories. The smaller box, won as a school prize, had belonged to a young woman whose life ended tragically. A beadwork display and the Christmas stitchery created over many years the group has been together were much admired.

Church concert for lottery bid VOCAL trio Versatility will perform at South Cliff Methodist Church in Scarborough on 20 October, at 7.30pm. Their repertoire embraces musicals, opera, swing and pop anthems Promoter Jane Leigh says: “Versatility are a highly accomplished trio, able to sing from Mozart to Cohen, Verdi to Queen, Sinatra to Strauss. “They will entertain, nourish and warm our hearts on this autumn evening”. Organised by the Friends of South Cliff Gardens, the concert will raise funds for their
heritage bid. If they can raise enough pledges, the group will qualify for a £5m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fun (HLF), to restore the gardens. The grant would save “the unique and enchanting heritage of the gardens from a point of critical decline and breathe new life into them so they appeal to the 21st century”, according to the Friends. Spokesperson Lorraine Bryden says: “We need to raise £125,000 to show our commitment to the HLF that we are serious about restoring our gardens, allowing them to nurture our community’s health and wellbeing for years to come”. Pledges can be made on the Friends website, which is easy to find. Payments won’t be collected until January when the bid outcome is announced. Tickets for the concert cost £5 and can be bought at the Red Lea Hotel or booked by ringing Jane on 361748 or emailing janescarboro@gmail. com.
Local playwright’s success down under A one-act comedy by Scarborough playwright Mike Park recently found success in Australia. Two Purple Gloves, set in a shopping mall late at night, features a confrontation between a female security guard and what seems to be a male vagrant. A new production took the award for most entertaining play in the Dalby amateur drama festival in Queensland in August. “It’s a category I don’t recall coming across in our equivalent UK competitions, although perhaps it should be included, as surely the primary function of theatre is to entertain”, said Mike.
The play, together with another of Mike’s oneact comedies Feeding the Ducks, began life by winning awards at the Scarborough YMCA drama festivals in the noughties. Since publication, both have proved enduringly popular for entry by amateur groups into festivals in many countries, but this is the furthest away one has been performed. “It’s really reassuring to discover that my brand of northern British humour is appreciated even on the other side of the world”, says Mike.

Ancient Egypt in Yorkshire EGYPT’S connections with Yorkshire can be traced back to Roman times, according to a prominent Egyptologist who lives in Scarborough. The first accurate account of Egypt’s ancient sites was published by a Yorkshireman in 1615, says Professor Joann Fletcher. Men and women from around the county, from the earliest known female Egyptologist to the man who discovered the name Tutenkhamen in the Valley of the Kings, travelled to Egypt to study and collect antiquities. Yorkshire has more pyramids than any other
part of England, the oldest obelisk in Britain and the only full-size Egyptian temple in the country. All this will be discussed by Professor Fletcher at St Mark’s Church in Newby on 5 October, at 7.30pm. Admission will be free and donations will be accepted, in aid of the church’s building fund. * Professor Fletcher will give the annual Pat Almond memorial lecture at Ayton village hall on 6 October, at 7.30pm.
Guitarist needed SCARBOROUGH band Guilty as Charged is looking for a new guitarist. The current one is having to leave for health reasons. Drummer Brian Jackson says: “We are a five-piece band, have a female singer with a fabulous voice and lots of gigs.
“We play an extremely wide range of music, from Amy Winehouse, the Carpenters and Eva Cassidy to Bon Jovi and Guns ’n’ Roses, with just about everything in between”. Interested? Ring 07773 231637 or email brianjacksondrummer@gmail.com.

Darts players raise £1,175 for chemotherapy unit
THEN AND NOW ON THE 13th September in 2014, I made my radio debut and kick-started what would later become “The Twelfthman Show”. The station manager at the time, Jerry Scott, really let me run with this idea. I not only produced the show, I set up the guests and chose the music to help fill in the bits where we weren’t speaking to Will Baines about how the BORO were getting on. The show and Jerry Scott may not be with us now, but who would of thought I’d be still around, doing what I do, this time on Yorkshire Coast Radio Extra and still being one of the voices of Scarborough Athletic, informing the Seadog exiles and fans who can’t get to the away games. I’ve been up and around the seventh tier of non-league football for some dramatic moments, from BORO beating South Shields in their fortress on New Year’s Day, to the controversial equaliser from Kendal, not only should we have got a penalty, the goal was yards offside. I had been racking my brain about what my first game was, after a dig around I remembered it was an FA Cup match away at Ashington. It ended in a 2-2 draw with Jimmy Beadle not only getting a 90 min goal but his second of the match, which earned us a replay back at Queensgate. The replay was a victory for Scarborough Athletic as well as a Gary Bradshaw goal to seal us through to the next round. The game that night was played in front of 256, how different four years on, as the league match at home was attended by 1068. A lot of things have happened to the club and I really feel it’s a pleasure to be part of the club’s history. One of the things I do enjoy is meeting new people from around the nonleague pyramid who are as just as passionate as the Athletic fans who come to chat about the club around the town. October will be another tough month for the club, with three home games and four away matches. Practically every Saturday and Tuesday - it’s going be some challenge for
Steve Kittrick and the team. Also in October I will be switching sports as I’ll be at Silver Royd as Scarborough RUFC will be locking horns with York RUFC and hopefully my nephew Harry Taylor, will be furthering his Rugby career for the visitors. That day my loyalties will be tested, but it will be good to see a big crowd at the home of Scarborough Rugby.

Words and photo by Dave Barry THE ANNUAL Eileen Elliott 19x memorial trophy raised £1,175 for Scarborough Hospital’s chemotherapy unit. The proceeds from a raffle on the finals night took the total raised since the competition began in 1990 to £36,814. The money is spent on equipment, necessities and luxuries for patients. The ladies darts pairs knock-out competition is played on Wednesday evenings throughout summer at Wilsons pub in West Sandgate. It carries a first prize of £150. The semi-finals saw Sherry Humphries and Steph Mason through to the final by beating Lianne Dunn and Kath Warren 3-0, while Wendy Moore and Chris Coates booked their place by beating Lynn Elliott 3-1. Lynn was on her own as her partner, her daughter
Ann-Marie Boyle, was unable to play. Lynn was compensated with scoring a perfect 180. Sherry and Steph went on to take the title with a 3-0 defeat over Chris and Wendy. Spokesperson Maggie Worrall commented: “We had great support this year and would like to thank not only the ladies who entered but also the local businesses and individuals who were so generous in donating prizes for the raffle. “If it wasn’t for all these people, we wouldn’t be able to raise the kind of money that we do for the chemotherapy unit. So a big thank you to all of them. We hope we can rely on their support again next year. A final thanks goes to Tina Ramsden and Garry Naylor at Wilsons for their generous support throughout the competition”.

A review of the local Football scene.... BY STE VE ADAMSON
Boro Climb To Third In League By Steve Adamson SCARBOROUGH Athletic made an impressive start to the Evo Stik League Premier Division campaign following their promotion last season. Just one defeat in their opening eight league matches saw them climb to 3rd in the table, a point adrift early leaders South Shields, and behind Warrington Town on goaldifference. The most impressive early season performance was a 3-1 home defeat of Basford United, while Boro completed a double over North Ferriby United, coming from behind on both occasions to register 3-1 successes, with 300 Boro fans making the short treck to Ferriby for a re-arranged fixture on 22 September, after both teams were left with a blank date due to exits from the FA Cup. Manager Steve Kittrick will be delighted at the start to the campaign, with the likes of Bailey Gooda, Wayne Brooksby,Luke Dean and James Cadman especially impressing in the early season matches.

DISTRICT DIVISION
LEAGUE
FIRST
Edgehill were the early pacesetters in Division One, after opening their league campaign with four wins and a draw. The only points they dropped came from a 2-2 draw with Hunmanby United, with Joe Gallagher and Kurtis Henderson their scorers, and Cameron Dobson notching both Hunmanby goals. A Jimmy Beadle hat trick earned Edgehill a 3-2 success against West Pier, then Jackson Jowett scored twice as they beat Seamer Sports 4-1. Kurtis Henderson and Gary Hepples were on target in a 2-0 win against Newlands Park, and in their most recent outing, Kieran Link and Jamie Patterson netted as Edgehill beat Itis Itis Rovers 2-1. Filey Town were just a point behind Edgehill after winning each of their first four league matches, with Will Hunter netting twice in a dramatic 5-4 win against local rivals Hunmanby United. Two Joe Gage strikes then sealed a 2-0 win against reigning champions West Pier, followed by a recovery from a 1-2 interval deficit to beat Scalby 4-2, with Ash Robinson scoring twice. In their latest match Filey triumphed 4-0 against Itis Itis Rovers, with two goals apiece from Ash Robinson and Liam Sugden. The biggest win of the season to date came on 15 September when Hunmanby United crushed Scalby 11-0, with Cameron Dobson scoring four and James Pinder notching a hat trick.
RESERVE SIDES TO THE FORE Edehill Reserves and West Pier Reserves topped the early Division Two table after both sides began the campaign with four straight wins. Edgehill Res beat Eastfield Town 6-2 with strikes from Benny Davis 3, Ryan Link 2 and Callum Myers, while a 4-1 defeat of Newlands Park Res was secured with goals from Josh Fergus 2, Benny Davis and Carl Hepples. Rich Tolliday struck a hat trick for West Pier Res as they came from 1-3 down to beat Newlands Park Res 4-3, with Brad Marshall also on the scoresheet, while a 4-1 win at Cayton Athletic featured goals from Mikey Anderson 2, Rich Tolliday and Aidan McCallion.

SCARBOROUGH REVIEW SPORTS
FROM THE TOUCHLINE SCARBOROUGH RUFC’s first season in the NORTH ONE EAST league following their promotion from YORKSHIRE DIVISION ONE at the end of last season got off to a flying start on the 1st of September with a 55-33 win on the road against much-fancied semiprofessional side Bradford & Bingley. Coach Simon Smith’s young side ran in seven tries in a storming performance and topped the league after the first round of games. That was the Seasiders biggest margin for or against with the following three games being real ‘nip and tuck’ affairs that could have gone either way. Next up on the 8th was a local derby at Bridlington’s Dukes Park HQ played in a constant downpour. A breakaway try in the last minute of the game scored by Scarborough’s Jimmy Perrett looked to have sealed victory for the visitors at 19-15;
however Bridlington replied with a try deep in injury time to grab the points with a 22-19 win. And the pattern of close-fought games continued with Scarborough at home to Cleckheaton at Silver Royd. An absolutely cracking encounter was end-to-end stuff from the start and was settled once more in injury time when hooker Sam Dawson powered over for a 26-19 bonus-point win. Last Saturday skipper Matty Jones’ men were back on the road, this time at Huddersfield YMCA and another exciting seesaw encounter was the order of the day. The west Yorkshiremen raced to a 10-0 lead in the first ten minutes which saw two Scarborough players leave the field with head injuries. The Seasiders stormed back and scored three tries to lead 21-13 at the break. They lost another player injured before scoring a further try to

lead 26-16 midway through the half but as in the previous two weeks, the game ended with a late try this time to Huddersfield, who had potted a couple of penalty goals and edged the game 29-26. Ex-Whitby second row Luke Brown scored two tries on debut. Phew! What a nail-biting month! Having recorded two bonus-point wins and earned a losing bonuspoint at Bridlington and a couple of bonus points at Huddersfield for scoring four tries and losing by less than a score Scarborough are in a very creditable fifth place in North One East. Second placed Morpeth RFC are the visitors to Silver Royd on Saturday and following a break on the 6th of October Scarborough travel to West Leeds on the 13th. They entertain leagueleaders York at Silver Royd in a local derby on the 20th before making the short trip to Pocklington on the 27th. Junior/youth/mini and micro rugby restarted on Sunday the 2nd of September and there have been big
numbers joining the Scarborough Shrimps (2-4 year olds). The Women’s XV the Valkryies started their season with the 36-34 defeat of West Park Leeds at Silver Royd on the 9th of September. Apart from rugby, the other big news from Scarborough RUFC is the opening of the Squash and rackets Academy and Hartley’s Cafe-bar at Silver Royd. The grand opening of both was on Friday the 13th of September. Both ventures are a big addition to the already impressive facilities at Silver Royd and I’ll let you know through these pages details of upcoming international class tournaments to be held at the facility.

The tripledecker Japan pushing for flying cars by 2020
No, we're not talking about the Night Bus from Harry Potter, nor are we enthusing greatly about a pretty obvious improvement to one of our favourite chocolate bars. No, we're talking about roundabout in North Tynside on a road you might use a lot. Traditionally the A19 becomes jammed when running though the roundabout by the A1059, and drivers – even those carrying straight on – often have to queue. However, thanks a new bit of roadmaking set to be completed soon, motorists will be able to power on through a new tunnel under the runabout. The triple-decker system is pretty impressive and begs the question: why not just dig tunnels under all roundabouts for those of us going straight? Mind blown.
If there is one country in the world that can be relied upon to do something weird, it's Japan. Fret ye not, dear readers; we're not talking about giant mutant lizards, grown women dressed as school girls, or really violent and oddly sexual animation. No, we mean flying cars. While the likes of the US and China have been busily working away on getting a working flying car on the roads (and in the skies) Japan feels like it's been left behind – until now. After forming a special organisation with AirBus, Uber, Boeing and other companies working on flying transport, Japan is determined to get a working vehicle in the air in times for the Olympic Games in 2020. That time pressure, they hope, will spur the nation on to becoming the world's first to offer unmanned air travel. Watch this space.
