It’s a delicate balance between preserving Whitby’s timeless allure and embracing the winds of change, keeping it a captivating destination for all who visit. Whitby Town Council are beginning work on a Neighbourhood Plan, so more change ahead. But you can have your say - watch out for the consultations and make your opinions known.
Here in Whitby, change manifests in various ways. Natural landscapes constantly evolve through erosion, weathering, and geological processes, sculpting, carving, and shaping coastlines.

A mix of science, astronomy and chronology... the leap year!
Leap years are a concept that might seem merely a quirk of the calendar, but they are rooted in a rich history of astronomical observations, mathematical calculations, and fascinating folklore. Spanning across cultures and centuries, the story of leap years reveals humanity’s ongoing quest to align our timekeeping with the cosmos.
must be divisible by 400. Thus, 1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not.
The solution to this problem was first systematically implemented in the Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC. Advised by the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria, Caesar reformed the Roman calendar by adding an extra day every four years to account for the additional quarter day. This leap day was added to February, traditionally the last month of the Roman year, making it 29 days instead of 28 in leap years.
In 1712, Sweden briefly experienced a unique calendar date, February 30th! This anomaly occurred twelve years after Sweden’s initial decision in 1700 to switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. The change required eliminating some days to align the calendars, which Sweden intended to achieve by omitting leap days gradually. However, the outbreak of the Great Northern War in 1700 distracted the Swedes, leading them to overlook the omission of leap days in the subsequent years. By 1712, to simplify the transition back to the Julian calendar, Sweden added an extra day to the usual leap year, resulting in the one-time occurrence of February 30th. The complete shift to the Gregorian calendar was eventually realized in 1753, and February 30th disappeared forever.
Beyond the technicalities, leap years are wrapped in a tapestry of folklore and traditions. One of the most famous is the practice, supposedly originating in Ireland, where women are encouraged to propose marriage to men on February 29th. This custom was The history of the leap year begins with our popularised in the British Isles and beyond, breaking understanding of the solar year - the time it takes the the historical convention of men initiating marriage Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. Early proposals. astronomers noticed that this period was not exactly In some cultures, leap years are considered unlucky. 365 days but rather approximately 365.25 days. In Greece, for instance, couples usually avoid This extra quarter of a day presented a significant marrying in a leap year, and especially on a leap day. challenge: without adjustment, the calendar year Conversely, in other traditions, leap years are seen as would gradually drift away from the solar year, times of renewal and change. The Chinese believe causing significant mismatches over time. that a leap year is an auspicious time to tie the knot.
However, the Julian calendar overcompensated slightly because the actual solar year is approximately 11 minutes less than 365.25 days. This discrepancy led to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, which refined the leap year rule. According to the Gregorian system, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but century years 6 |

Monthly Recipe
Beetroot Burger
Perfect for those trying to reduce their meat consumption. This beetroot burger is full of flavour and perfect for a Valentine's Day meal!
Timings & Servings Preparation: 30 minutes Cooking: 40 minutes Makes 8 burgers
Ingredients
1 onion, quartered 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing 2 garlic cloves, crushed 200g mushrooms (chestnut are good) 250g tofu 100g cooked beetroot (about 2-3 beetroot bulbs) 1 x 400g can black beans, drained 1 tbsp tomato purée 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise 1 tbsp miso paste 100g oat flour 2 tbsp ground flaxseed 50g pecans 200g cooked brown rice (75g dry rice is approximately 200g cooked)
Serving suggestions: 8 burger buns, chilli jam, lettuce, slices of tomato, red onion rings, avocado slices, lime wedges, vegan cheese slices, vegan mayonnaise 12 |
Method
Put the onion in a food processor and pulse until it is the texture of cooked rice. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and fry for 10 mins until soft and pale golden. Stir in the garlic and fry for one minute. Remove the mixture to a large bowl and set aside. Now put the mushrooms in the food processor and pulse until they are as small as the onions. Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the mushrooms and fry for 10-15 mins, until any liquid released has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender. Add to the bowl with the onions. Place the tofu, black beans, beetroot, miso paste, tomato purée, mayonnaise, flour, and flaxseed into the food processor and blitz until smooth. Add seasoning and mix with the cooked veg. Pulse the pecans and half the cooked rice in the food processor until finely chopped. Add this mixture and the remaining rice to the veg too. Shape the mixture into burger-shaped patties. Vegetable burgers are more fragile than meat burger so allow them to chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins before cooking. To cook, heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Brush both sides of the burgers with a little oil. Cook for 5-8 mins on each side, turning once after a crust has formed, until hot through to the centre. Toast the buns on the open side, then spread each with a little chilli jam, and fill with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, avocado with lime, vegan cheese and mayonnaise as required.

Making a difference - the Whitby Street Angels
“Whitby Street Angels to CCTV. We’re out this evening. Can we have a radio check, please?” “CCTV to Whitby Street Angels – Thank you. Good to have you out with us again!” This is how Whitby Street Angels start their patrols. They go out on Saturday nights from 10 pm until 2 am, rain or moonshine. After checking in with CCTV, which links them by radio to the door staff, bar staff and the police, they walk a pre-planned route round Whitby. They can be called on for help whenever needed and are part of the network of expertise and support the night-time community in Whitby. The Whitby team is easily recognisable in their dark blue jackets. Many people stop for an appreciative chat: “I think you are amazing doing this!”, or a simple request: “Can I have a lolly?”, “Got any flip-flops?” “Water?”. Some just need information about where to get food after midnight. But others have more serious problems: “I don’t know how to get back to my accommodation.” “My boyfriend has left me alone. I haven’t got the key.” “The taxi won’t take him in that state!”. Street Angels help them find a solution for their immediate problem. Sometimes all they can offer is water, a blanket and a suggestion of where to shelter out of the wind for the night. Sometimes just simply being there during the wait for an ambulance means everything: “Thank you for staying with us. I couldn’t have coped on my own.”

Whitby Street Angels are a dedicated team and would love to be out on the streets of Whitby every Saturday night. However, they are now so few in number that they only manage to be out once a fortnight. They need more volunteers. Could you see yourself as part of the team?
It is a rewarding and satisfying role for anyone who enjoys being with people. The volunteers come from a very wide variety of backgrounds and being a volunteer is a tremendous opportunity for younger people looking for experience to support an application for their dream career. Street Angels are Christian based, but anyone can join. They try to reflect Christ’s caring acceptance of everyone in whatever circumstances.
It is this supportive presence that is so important. Anyone interested in becoming a Street Angel should But Street Angels offer practical help as well; basic first simply take the first step and call 07545 891350 to find aid, blankets, sick bags, water for rehydration, a phone out more.

Whitby Civic Society is looking for a new chair
Civic Societies around the UK, of which there are more than 300, work to make places where everyone lives more attractive, enjoyable, and distinctive. Whitby’s Civic Society is part of Civic Voice, whose President is Griff Rhys Jones, and which represents the work of Civic Societies in Parliament and elsewhere. The Society has been very active in recent years, publishing a regular newsletter to members; holding a monthly series of well supported lectures; reinvigorating the placing of Blue Plaques around Whitby - something which has drawn admiration from other Civic Societies – and introducing a Blue Plaque trail. But perhaps its most important work is in scrutinising planning applications, making comments to the Planning Authority and occasionally alerting the Authority to possible breaches of planning rules. The Society has a healthy membership in excess of 150, has a strong and established committee, and is in a sound financial position. But a new Chair - preferably with some awareness of local heritage issues and the potential opportunities and threats facing the town - is needed who, after period of induction as a committee member, would assume leadership of the Society. It’s not onerous but it’s an important and rewarding role and the right person will be able to help the Society to protect all that is good about Whitby.
Anyone who might be interested in the role is invited, in the first instance, to email Martin Narey who is a member of the current executive committee and is leading the search for a new Chair. Please contact him on nareymartin@gmail. com in order to arrange an informal discussion. 44 |

National Apprenticeship Week February 5th - 11th
The benefits of apprenticeships are manifold. For apprentices, they provide the opportunity to gain practical experience, develop job-specific skills, and build a professional network, all while earning a salary. Apprenticeships are particularly beneficial for those who prefer learning in a hands-on environment rather than in a traditional classroom setting. They also offer an alternative route to higher education qualifications without the associated tuition fees.
Apprenticeships in the UK represent one pathway for individuals seeking practical training and experience in a wide range of professions. They blend on-the-job training with academic learning, providing a unique opportunity for learners to earn while they learn. An apprenticeship is a structured training program that combines practical work with study. It allows individuals to gain hands-on experience in a professional setting while acquiring the necessary theoretical knowledge and skills. Apprentices are employed and earn a wage throughout their training, which can last between one and six years, depending on the level and field of study.
For employers, apprenticeships are an effective way to develop a skilled workforce tailored to their specific needs. They enable businesses to train new and existing employees in the skills critical for their industries, fostering a committed and competent workforce. Moreover, apprenticeships play a significant role in the broader economy by addressing skill gaps and boosting productivity. They offer a pathway to upskill the workforce, meet the demands of emerging industries, and ensure that the UK’s workforce is equipped to tackle future challenges.
In recent years, the UK government has actively promoted apprenticeships, introducing incentives for employers to offer apprenticeships, and also creating new standards to ensure the quality and relevance of apprenticeship programmes. This support underlines the recognition of the value of apprenticeships as a crucial tool for personal development, business growth, and economic The history of apprenticeships in the UK dates back to prosperity. the Middle Ages when young people would become apprentices in various trades to learn a skill or craft.
