MOTORBIKE RACES RETURN TO OLIVER’S MOUNT Words & photo

by Dave Barry MOTORCYCLE racing returns to the Oliver’s Mount circuit in Scarborough this year.

A newly-formed body run by bike-race veterans Eddie

Roberts and Mick Grant has picked up the gauntlet dropped by the ailing Auto 66 Club.

Auto 66 screeched to a sudden halt last year when it was forced to cancel races after a run-in with the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) over safety measures.

During the last race at Oliver’s

Mount, in September 2017, three spectators were seriously injured and 10 others hurt when a bike ploughed into the crowd.

Last year, the club scheduled at least three races which were cancelled, leaving countless fans and participants out of pocket.

The club, which has now folded, said it had spent £550,000 on upgrading the circuit and that it had never received support, financial or otherwise, from Scarborough Council - which is giving its “full backing” to the new kids on the block.

The ACU, the governing body

Amf decorating

of motorcycle sport in Britain, has also given its blessing to the two meetings confirmed for the challenging and undulating 2.4mile mini-TT. The Barry Sheene Classic, on 27 and 28 July, will be followed by the Gold Cup from 27-29 September.

WIN, WIN, WIN! TO celebrate the opening of Alpamare’s new Wellness spa this month we’re giving away three sets of family tickets to the waterpark (two adults + two children). Each family ticket is worth £64!

The new wellness spa will have a sea view sauna, herbal steam bath and a clay sauna.

If you think you know waterparks, think again! There’s no better feeling than getting out and about with friends and family. But then there’s nothing quite like splashing around in the

fastest and funnest waterpark in the UK. At Alpamare Scarborough you can have the best of both worlds.

To be in with a chance of winnng simply tell us what type of saunas there are at the Alpamare Wellness spa. Email editor@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or post answers to Scarborough Review Competitions, Oaktree Farm, The Moor, Haxby, York, YO32 2LH. Competition closes on Sunday 14 April. Good Luck!

Residents given 20% discount in council carparks 20% discounts for council carparks are being offered to residents of the borough of Scarborough.

Drivers with an on-street resident’s permit don’t need to register but those without do.

When a vehicle registration number is keyed into a ticket machine, it will be recognised and a discount applied for up to four hours of parking.

From April, machines in offstreet carparks will offer two tariffs for people to choose from when paying to park: a standard tariff and a residents’ discount tariff.

Parking attendants will use automatic number plate

recognition on hand-held devices to check vehicles.

Drivers will still be able to pay using RingGo, paying by phone.

The council hasn’t said exactly when the new scheme will begin as it is dependent on third parties to set it up. But it will be in April.

The scheme hasn’t met with universal acclaim. One online commentator wrote: “We have a climate emergency and a public-health crisis as a result of low levels of physical activity and pollution, yet we're encouraging more people to make short journeys by car.

Does this make sense?”

‘We cannot afford not to protect the environment’

A DEMONSTRATION run by Extinction Rebellion outside Scarborough town hall passed off peacefully.

The protestors said they wanted to remind councillors

Kim Hunter of Extinction Rebellion makes a point

of the commitments they had made in declaring a climate emergency in January.

Inside the building, the borough council was holding a meeting to discuss its budget.

Outside, campaigners professed disappointment “with the choice on offer over the budget, which was to accept maximum austerity with some commitments to the climate, or reject the budget - and with it, perhaps, the climate commitments.

“This was an impossible choice to make for our councillors”, according to a statement issued

by Extinction Rebellion, or XR, which welcomed January’s vote.

“But when push came to shove, many if not most of the same councillors rejected the budget because they could not

Justin is on the run again A FORMER Scarborough fireman is to run 1,000 miles over 44 days in the USA this summer.

Justin Rowe, who was a watch manager at Malton fire station, will run from Bar Harbor in Maine to the Marine Corps war memorial at Arlington in Virginia.

The Atlantic coast cycle route passes through nine states and will take Justin through national parks, small towns and cities.

He will be pulling a Burley Nomad trailer carrying his equipment.

Various fire departments will provide him with rest and lodgings.

The money he raises through sponsorship will go to the Allied Forces Foundation, which supports injured military

veterans and their carers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Justin served in the army for 12 years and has just retired from the fire service after 21 years.

He has been running and fundraising in the UK and USA for over 20 years. In 2013, he was part of a team of four firefighters who ran to all 215 fire houses in the five boroughs of New York. They covered 376 miles in seven days, raising money for the Stephen Siller Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation.

Justin said: “I would like to say a big thank you to my main sponsors, Providence UK and Burley USA, and everyone else who has supported my fundraising over the years”. n To sponsor Justin, go to www.firstgiving.com/ fundraiser/ justin-rowe/ run2DC.

Justin Rowe with the trailer he will use for the run

accept other aspects of it - not least the drastic cuts to muchneeded public services.

“This is at the same time as taxpayers’ money is spent on costly and unsustainable projects like the Alpamare water park, on subsidising the costs of the Open Air Theatre and demolishing the Futurist for the benefit of developers - which is already damaging our local environment”, the statement continued.

“We recognise that many people in the borough already struggle to pay their council tax, so will not welcome any increase to offset the impact of government cuts. We are concerned that against this background, commitments to the environment may be jettisoned on the basis that ‘we can't afford them’.

Demonstrators outside Scarborough town hall (to order photos ring 353597) “This is wrong on a number of levels. As many councillors have argued, we cannot afford not to protect the environment - and other councils are already adopting policies that are both environmentally sustainable and cost-saving”.

Warrington borough council is to become the first local authority in the UK to generate all its electricity from renewable sources. This will be

Fewer seats in fewer wards for borough elections FEWER seats in fewer wards will be contested at borough elections on 2 May. The number of councillors has been scaled down from 50 to 46, in 20 wards instead of 25.

The new structure follows a review of Scarborough Council’s ward boundaries by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.

Elections for the borough’s 39 parish councils will take place on the same day.

Anyone wanting to stand for either council, including existing councillors, has until 3 April to submit nomination papers.

Anyone not on the register of electors will be unable to vote.

To register online, go to gov. uk / register-to-vote or ring the town hall on 232323. The deadline is 12 April.

Anyone who will be on holiday on 2 May can apply to vote by post or by proxy, which is someone that can vote on their behalf at the named elector's usual polling station. The deadline for applying to vote by post is 15 April. The deadline for applying to vote by proxy is 24 April.

The revised numbers of seats in each ward in the Scarborough

and Filey areas are as follows: Castle 3, Woodlands 3, Northstead 3, Falsgrave & Stepney 3, Weaponness & Ramshill 3, Newby 3, Scalby 2, Cayton 2, Eastfield 3, Seamer 2, Burniston & Cloughton 1, Derwent Valley & Moor 2, Filey 3 and Hunmanby 2.

More information including nomination details is available at scarborough.gov.uk/ elections.

Scarborough Council is now in the pre-election period known as purdah, which means it must take even greater care than usual not to appear to support any particular candidates or parties.

The Local Government Act 1986 says the authority should “not publish any material which, in whole or in part, appears to be designed to affect public support for a political party”.

The Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity published in 2011 recommends that councils should generally not issue any publicity which seeks to influence voters and that publicity relating to individuals involved directly in the election should not be published unless expressly authorised by statute.

achieved by working with two large subsidy-free solar farms, to be built in the Hull and York areas, and with battery storage technology.

It has been estimated that the project will provide for all the council’s electricity needs and lop £2m off its annual budget.

“Why should a council in Cheshire be benefitting when we're not?” asks XR. * Extinction Rebellion

organised another Youth Strike for Climate Scarborough, in the town centre. The turnout included about seven pupils from Graham School, one from the Sixth Form College and a student from out of town.

The assembly was addressed by Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate Hugo Fearnley.

EX-MONK ACCUSED OF CHILD SEX OFFENCES A former monk is due to appear at Scarborough magistrates’ court on 8 April, charged with 23 non-recent child sex offences.

Peter Turner, 79, who was previously known as Father Gregory Carroll, stands accused of committing offences against a pupil at

Ampleforth private school from 1984-87 and against altar servers at a church in Cumbria from 1987-90.

The charges include gross indecency, indecent assault and buggery.

The three victims were aged from 9-13 at the time.

Walkers will give water to African villages A SPONSORED walk will help provide isolated African villages with potable water.

Walk for Water, on 12 May, is being organised by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers.

Spokesman John Walker said: “We are hoping to raise money to continue to bring safe water to 3,000 people in six remote communities in Ghana.

“Presently, women and sometimes young children spend many hours every day collecting water that is mostly not fit to drink”, he added.

The Rotary Club has been working in Ghana for several years. Initially, hand-operated filters are installed in each community to enable people to produce enough safe water to

drink.

As more funds become available, the filters are replaced by boreholes, providing abundant fresh water at the heart of the village.

Working with trusted partners in Ghana, the Cavaliers have so far installed six filters and one borehole, with two more in progress. The walk aims to provide a borehole for a fourth community.

The circular 5.3-mile fundraiser will begin at Hayburn Wyke at 10am. It will head through woodlands and along the Cleveland Way, then return to the pub via the cinder track.

Man wins car and gives it away A NIGHT porter who won a car in a raffle has given it to his daughter.

Andy Dixon said he was “over the moon” after winning a new Toyota Aygo in the Saint Catherine’s draw.

Andy, 54, and his daughter Phoebe, 22, bought tickets at the same time, so he gave the car to her.

He said: “When I found out, it was surreal, I couldn’t believe it. It’s one of those things that happens to other people. The only thing I’ve ever won before was a bucket barbecue”.

He added that when he told Phoebe, she didn’t believe him and thought it was a joke.

Andy said: “It’s still sinking in.

It will only seem real when she gets the keys. She’s got a 20-year-old Corsa at the moment”. * Daredevil Jennie Jackson flew down the world’s fastest zip wire on her 50th birthday to raise money for the hospice.

Zooming at up to 100mph,

Jennie was accompanied by her daughter Kara at Penrhyn Quarry in Snowdonia.

The thrill-seeker, from Cloughton, has already done bungee and parachute jumps.

Her next adrenaline rush will come when she is strapped to the top of a Boeing Stearman biplane.

Jennie, who works at Murray Brown in Flixton, said: “People think I’m a bit mad, so when I said I was doing this they weren’t surprised.

The support from friends, family and customers has been wonderful”.

Jennie is doing the challenges as part of her fundraising towards the Saint Catherine’s Canadian Rockies trek in June 2020. She has to raise £2,500.

She is doing it in memory of loved ones who have been cared for by Saint Catherine’s, in particular her cousin Pauline, whose daughter Emma Briggs is also doing the trek.

To sponsor Jennie, go to www.

Mark Witherington, of Thornton Dale, aims to clock up 4,300 miles and raise £2,800 in sponsorship - double what he raised last year.

The club will also be fundraising for the hospice at its annual Elvis Presley remembrance day event, Memphis by the Moors, at the Spa Theatre on 16 August.

Mark says: “People can sponsor me on our Justgiving page”. * Saint Catherine’s is appealing for 12 photos for its 2020 calendar, sales of which raise much-needed funds.

Scarborough man meets Rudimental after cancer treatment JONNY Parker, 21, from Scarborough, enjoyed a night of music and meeting Rudimental this week (25 March) at London’s Royal Albert Hall as a guest of Teenage Cancer Trust.

The charity invites over 100 young people who have had cancer to the Ultimate Backstage Experience, during its annual week of gigs. It’s an afternoon of being involved in a creative music workshop

to help write and perform a song with other young people, a backstage tour of the Royal Albert Hall and meeting the performers before they go on stage.

Jonny was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia just after his 21st birthday. The Economics student noticed a lump on his arm when he was back home in Scarborough for the summer holidays. At first,

Jonny was admitted to an adult ward at York Hospital where most patients were aged over 60. He was then transferred to the Teenage Cancer Unit at St James’s Hospital, in Leeds, where he became addicted to board games and made lots of friends. Jonny is now in remission and feeling better than ever. He continues to have blood tests but he feels confident that he knows what

signs to look out for should the cancer come back.

Speaking at the Royal Albert Hall, he said: “The people running the music workshop were great. I learnt the guitar when I was younger but I hadn’t played in years and it was good for them to give me some tips.

I wasn’t that nervous, then Rudimental turned up! That upped the pressure a bit but it was an amazing experience and it was nice when he said how good we were.”

Christine Jason, Teenage Cancer Trust Head of Regional Fundraising (North), said: “We’re so grateful to everyone who helps us put on these fantastic shows and put a spotlight on the thousands of young people living with cancer across the UK. Our annual gigs at the Royal Albert Hall bring together the world's biggest names in music and comedy to raise funds and support young people with cancer.”

is 12 April. They should be emailed to fundraising@ saintcatherines.org.uk. * The hospice is encouraging supporters without wills to take advantage of Make a Will Week from 29 April to 3 May. Participating solicitors will give their time for free by drawing up a single will for a suggested minimum donation to Saint

Catherine’s of £125 or £200 for a matching pair.

Last year the event raised over £17,000 for patient care.

The following solicitors are taking part in Scarborough, Filey and Hunmanby: Jepson Longstaff Midgley, Pinkney Grunwells, Thorpe & Co, Tubbs & Co and North Yorkshire Law.

Verity on his bike after expenses scandal

Sir Gary Verity SIR Gary Verity has quit Welcome to Yorkshire amid claims of lavish spending and bullying.

The man who brought the Tour de France to Scarborough, who was on £243,000 a year, “made errors of judgement regarding his expenses”.

An investigation was mounted by the Sunday Times, which presented the tourism body with evidence of bullying and erroneous expenses claims.

The resignation followed years of concerns about Verity’s bullying behaviour towards staff and his expenses claims, described

by several staff members as “lavish”.

It is understood that among the expenses Verity attempted to claim were some relating to the funeral of his sister, who died in January last year.

Welcome to Yorkshire ordered its own investigation into the allegations and concluded that Verity “made errors of judgment at a very difficult time for him and his family”.

Verity, 54, has agreed to reimburse Welcome to Yorkshire for monies owed.

The amount is understood to be a five-figure sum.

Fight against crime Home-made cakes with continues in Eastfield fair-trade ingredients THE fight against crime continued at More Than Books, aka Eastfield library, where the police etched identifying inscriptions on stealable items.

PCSOs Caroline Richman and Sue Rowley used a Dot Peen machine marking system to etch bicycles and other valuable possessions taken in by members of the public.

The machine places highquality marks on various surfaces including metal, plastic, wood and leather.

It is commonly used to mark

pushbikes, cameras, tablets, etc.

At the same drop-in session, the two PCSOs, along with the county council’s road-safety officer, Mandy Pepworth, made checks on the condition of bikes and helmets. No charge was made.

They organised various activities for children based on road safety and awarded prizes for competition winners.

Mandy, Caroline and Sue were joined by outreach librarian Sharon Houghton, library

supervisor Rebecca Williams and trustee Nick Kemp. * More Than Books is organising an autism awareness event on Tuesday 2 April, from noon until 2pm. It is being run in conjunction with the youth club which meets at Westway Open Arms and NY Youth.

“This is to raise awareness and funds as part of national autism week”, says outreach librarian Sharon Houghton. “There will be cakes, refreshments and a raffle”.

NUMEROUS events in Scarborough and Filey celebrated fair-trade fortnight, raising awareness of the relevant issues.

In Scalby, at St Laurence’s Church Rooms, Scalby and Newby Women’s Institute sold hot drinks and cakes, all home-made with fair-trade ingredients.

Visitors sampled fair-trade wine and chocolate, and bought various edible and inedible fairtrade products.

Organiser Pam Caton said the event had been “highly successful”, attended by about 60 people.

She said: “This year, fairtrade fortnight focused on the women who grow the cocoa in the chocolate we love so much.

“We were able to promote the Fair Trade Foundation and the work they’re doing in Ivory

Coast for cocoa farmers.

“We sent them a three-figure donation to promote the Women’s Society and the Fair Trade Premium, which ensures that if the global cost of cocoa drops, the growers don’t lose out as they are compensated.

Women do a lot of the work there”, Pam said.

A film shot in Ivory Coast

by Pam’s son Peter for the Fair Trade Foundation was screened at the event.

In Scarborough and Filey,

similar events were held at Oxfam in Newborough, the town hall, St Andrew’s Church in Ramshill, St Mark’s Church in Newby, and Scalby, Northstead and Filey Methodist churches.

Mum presents £70 worth of chocolate to daughter OURCO volunteer Kacie Brady has formally presented £70 worth of chocolate Easter eggs paid for by Ourco to her daughter Sally.

Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately - for Sally, she wasn’t going to be able to eat them.

Sally, 7, was officially representing the Kingfishers swimming club, which Ourco supports in various ways.

“Two years ago, we donated £1,000 towards the cost of a safety boat for a cross-Channel swim by seven members”, recalls Vronny Thorpe, who runs the charity shop, in Scarborough.

Kingfishers secretary and openwater coach Paula Ambury said: “We’re going again this

year with six members aged 1650 on 19 July”.

Last year, the club raised about £600 by putting chocolate Easter eggs donated by Ourco, parents and businesses into a draw.

The club will raise funds with the eggs in the same way this year; the draw will be on 10 April. In the meantime, it is appealing for further donations.

The proceeds will be spent on training and buying new equipment, says Paula.

Sally, a pupil at Thomas Hinderwell School, will become Ourco’s youngest volunteer during the summer holidays.

The shop, in Northway, has 16 volunteers at the moment, said Vronny.

A £3,000 donation has paid for six digital radios for Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, based in Snainton.

Communication between rescuers is now much improved as the old analogue radios are gradually replaced.

The money was raised through the sale of hundreds of rednosed wooden reindeer, cats and dogs made by Tom Potter of the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers.

Ian Hugill, the team’s incident controller and public relations officer, said: “A robust and efficient communications system is essential for the command, control and safety of our volunteers and ultimately

those we go out to help.

“The terrain we operate in and the nature of some of the incidents we attend means we are usually unable to rely on mobile phone coverage or the communications systems of the statutory emergency services. To address this, we have operated a self-sufficient, stand-alone, dedicated VHF radio system for a number of years. We needed to replace our analogue handsets and vehicle sets with more modern and efficient digital sets which use GPS”.

Club president Tony Stevens commented: “With about two call-outs per week to such incidents as rescuing stranded motorists in appalling weather

conditions, searching for vulnerable missing persons, offering medical assistance and evacuating injured walkers and cyclists, the 50-strong band of volunteers offer a fantastic service to the local area”.

The wooden animals were sold at the Stained Glass Centre in Killerby, Cober Hill in Cloughton, Dalby Forest visitor’s centre, the Falcon Inn near Cloughton, the Grapes at Ebberston, the Downe Arms in Wykeham, Ayton dentists, the golf range and the Coachman in Snainton, Harris Shield Collection and, in Scarborough, the Spa, Dean’s Garden Centre, the rugby club and the Sixth Form College.

Dragons descend on Rotarians curry favour award-winning charities with Samaritans

A TEAM of dragons visited two Scarborough charities which they had awarded £12,000.

Art Therapy Yorkshire won £5,000 and Community Furniture Stores won £7,000 at an event in the style of TV’s Dragon’s Den. Along with three other charities, they were judged by a team of wealthy entrepreneurs, none of whom breathed fire.

The money raised on the evening, about £28,000, came mainly from the Dragons who bought their seats. The sum included match funding from the York-based Two Ridings Community Foundation, which organised the event.

The High Sheriff’s Dragon’s Den, at Settrington in October, was hosted by the high sheriff of North Yorkshire. Chris Legard of Scampston Hall near Rillington is the Queen's representative in the county’s legal community and supports the judiciary, emergency services and voluntary services in their work.

He was accompanied on his Scarborough trip by the foundation’s chief executive Jan Garrill; the vice lordlieutenant of North Yorkshire, Peter Scrope; Frances Dodd,

whose late husband Barry was lord lieutenant of North Yorkshire until his death in a helicopter crash in May last year; and other dragons.

Mr Legard told the Review: “A common thread running through both charities was the extraordinary amount they achieve and the enormous help they give to people who are in need, on the back of very limited resources. This is only possible because of the commitment of staff and the help they receive from volunteers. They are excellent examples of wonderful local charities who make a real difference to many people in the local community”.

Art Therapy Yorkshire offers an extensive range of creative therapeutic programmes and projects to about 100 clients a year throughout Yorkshire.

It has women’s groups, a new men’s group and mixed groups, with about six people per group, in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space. The groups and one-to-one work are run by art psychotherapists Sue Holmes, Holly Major, Anne Fawcett and Peter Brown.

When the dragons visited, they were joined by trustee Leslie

Stones.

“It is long-term, slow work but with positive and lasting results”, says Sue. “Men’s mental health is our focus at the moment”.

The charity moves to a new base at Woodend in the first week of April.

Community Furniture Stores (CFS) in Salisbury Street accepts donations of furniture, appliances and other household items which are suitable for reuse. A wide range of items can be purchased from the Stores’ warehouse, which is open to everyone. Over the years, thousands of local households have been helped to furnish their homes at low cost.

Items are tested, repaired and upcycled in a workshop which specialises in re-upholstery.

The workshop provides training, work experience and wellbeing programmes for people who are long-term unemployed or who face barriers to employment such as a disability or an offending history.

Programmes are designed to suit individual needs and are overseen by suitably qualified staff or volunteers.

TWO Scarborough men have been fined for illegal street trading.

Craig Appleby-Turner of Manor Gardens and Stephen Moore of Murchison Street were each fined £220 and ordered to pay costs of £150 and a victim surcharge of £30 for trading on Westborough without permission.

The prosecutions were brought by Scarborough Council, whose environment

“While we would have liked to have seen a higher level of fines given by the court, we view these cases as providing a good template for prosecuting others for the same offences in the future”. * The victim surcharge is an automatic part of any sentence that funds victim services, rather than going to individual victims. In this case, the victim is the council.

Spate of burglaries at Illegal street traders fined commercial premises SCARBOROUGH police are urging businesses to review their security following a spate of burglaries at commercial premises.

Since the start of February, 21 commercial burglaries have been reported in the area; five were overnight on 9/10 March.

Sergeant Mike Tinsley said: “It is apparent the offenders have targeted small businesses with

little or no obvious security measures in place.

“We urge business owners to review their security measures and contact their local neighbourhood police team if they need advice on making their premises safer. The cost of basic security upgrades can be significantly less that they might think and often far less than repairing damage caused

by those who gain entry, or replacing the items they steal.

“We also encourage the wider public to remain vigilant and alert the police about any suspicious activity on 999 if they think a crime is in progress, about to happen, or a suspect is nearby and 101 for anything else”.

and regulation manager, Jonathan Bramley, said: “Street trading illegally in our borough is an issue that we take seriously. It has the potential to undermine the legitimate business of traders that follow the rules and can expose unwitting members of the public to unregulated products and practices.

Where we have clear evidence of wrongdoing, we will prosecute.

Futurist site must be put out to tender DEAR EDITOR,

EMAIL: DAVE@THESCARBOROUGHREVIEW.CO.UK WRITE TO US AT: OAKTREE FARM, THE MOOR, HAXBY, YORK YO32 2LH

‘Most residents oppose Flamingo Land plan’ DEAR EDITOR,

I have read with great interest the many comments on the Flamingo Land proposals for the Futurist site, published recently in several media outlets.

Although most people who commented on the Flamingo Land proposal have disliked what they have seen, I accept that there are a few people who, incredibly, see their offer as acceptable. Indeed, some welcome it. However, it is glaringly obvious that the vast majority of residents seem to be, sensibly, totally against this proposal.

Indeed, Gordon Summerville, the council’s former head of planning, said recently that ‘far from being the exciting scheme envisaged by the council, it is one of the worst proposals the planning department will have seen in decades’.

As president of Scarborough Civic Society, Adrian Perry said he had already received ‘quite a lot of outraged emails’ from the public and he is not pleased with the possible intrusion of the new winter garden circular glass box in St Nicholas Gardens.

This view has been echoed by Chris Hall, the council's former head of conservation, who wrote that ‘rollercoasters and a 60m tower-ride have no place right in the middle of England’s most attractive resort and would ruin the much-loved panorama of the castle, Grand Hotel, Spa harbour and beach’.

Consequently, with these damming condemnations of the scheme it is not hard to understand why most rational Scarborough people object so strongly to the Flamingo Land proposal. So it seems only fair to ask: how did we get to where we are now?

On 20 January 2017, the North Yorks Enquirer published an article by Nigel Ward entitled SBC: Dispatches From the Swamp, pointing out that at the February 2016 council meeting a budget of £4m was allocated to "the redevelopment of the Futurist site". Neither the word nor any synonym of the word ‘demolition’ appears in the minutes of that meeting.

However, it soon became apparent that what the leadership of the council really wanted to do with the £4m, even though they had not specifically said so, was to use the money, not to redevelop the theatre, but to demolish it. In an effort to try and clarify the situation Cllr Janet Jefferson and myself, both

strong supporters of the Save the Futurist Theatre Group, had a private meeting with SBC finance director Nick Edwards and questioned him on this point. His response was that he regretted any perceived ambiguity in his report but the fact now remained that we had voted to allocate money for the demolition of the theatre not, as we thought, to regenerate it. We had, I firmly believe, been deliberately misled and were, yet again, the victims of a classic example of the Town Hall’s warped and twisted interpretation of their laughable policy of openness and transparency.

Nonetheless, although the leadership in the Town Hall had now got the finance to knock the theatre down the vast majority of residents and many visitors were totally opposed to the proposed demolition. This opposition soon grew and led to thousands of individuals, and several influential and knowledgeable groups, appealing to the leadership to reverse their decision.

There were several well-attended meetings at the YMCA and even on a freezing cold January night, hundreds of people turned out to protest against the council’s intention to smash to pieces an iconic part of Scarborough’s built history. However, our leaders were not listening and a few months later the current council leadership totally ignored the residents’ wishes and voted to pull the Futurist down; getting their way by means of just one vote. Although there was overwhelming support for saving the Futurist, the current leadership just brushed aside residents’ objections and used every means at their disposal to get their own way.

Many residents are still disgusted with the council for having now spent over £4.5m of our money pulling the Futurist down, and who knows what the final bill might be, tens of millions possibly. Moreover, it seems highly likely that they will sell the site to Flamingo Land for peanuts. Quite rightly, many people object to this sale and want the site put out to tender to try and establish how much it is really worth, and I totally agree.

I am convinced that this prime site is worth a lot of money and that there will be developers out there, keen and eager, willing to offer us something better than the Flamingo Land plan.

Many residents are worried, and

indeed all residents who pay council tax should be worried, if the current administration is returned to power in May then they will almost certainly approve what many people believe is already agreed, a council loan of millions of pounds of ratepayers’ money to Flamingo Land to build something that the vast majority of residents, and now including Scarborough Civic Society, do not want.

Not doing what the people of the borough want seems to be a consistent trait of the current leadership of the council and coincides with the oftenrepeated view, heard all over the borough lately, that the present council “couldn’t give a damn about the opinion of the people of Scarborough”. The proof that this is truly the case must surely be crystal clear from the current council’s previous actions and their ongoing total disregard of residents’ views over issues such as the demolition of the Futurist.

Consequently, it is said by many people that the current leadership in the Town Hall will pay at the ballot box in May for their arrogant and high-handed behaviour over the demolition of the Futurist. Indeed, the Town Hall’s total disregard of people’s views over many schemes and projects that they have inflicted on residents against their will has, it seems, really incensed people.

Not perhaps surprisingly, therefore, some people are so disgusted with the actions of the present leadership of the council that they intend to seek election to the council to try and prevent those who seem intent on ruining Scarborough and bankrupting the borough’s residents regaining power.

I wish all those opposed to our current masters, who want to stand for a seat on the council, the best of luck. Indeed, should any of you be intending to stand on an independent ticket on 2 May, although of course time is short, please do not hesitate to ring me on 370965 and I will give you as much support and advice as I can.

As for the rest of the borough’s residents, all I can say is if you want to be rid of the dead hand of party politics there will be plenty of independent candidates available to vote for on 2 May. Cllr Norman (independent) Cross Lane Newby

Murphy

As a resident of Scarborough and therefore a council-tax payer, I would like to put forward an argument against the preferred bidder stance being taken by SBC in the development of the Futurist site.

Now the site has been cleared, it has become prime development land and is probably worth millions of pounds to any potential developer and would therefore demand a high price for its sale or lease to that developer.

I feel, therefore, that it would be in the interests of the people of Scarborough to claw back the £4m+ of public monies used by SBC for the demolition of the

Futurist and the subsequent slope stabilisation.

The preferred developer, I am led to believe, is Flamingo Land, although the basis and rationale for this appointment have never been made known. While Flamingo Land may have been the only worthwhile or preferred bidder when the Futurist building was still standing, I feel that circumstances have now changed. To have just one bidder (a preferred bidder) is not, financially, in the interests of Scarborough ratepayers and does not make good business sense.

As ratepayers, whose money has been used to demolish, surely we are entitled to regain some if not all of our money, particularly

in the current period of cutbacks and service reductions.

The site must therefore be put out to tender and other developers (nationally and internationally) must be given the opportunity of putting in fair and reasonable bids, which should of course be made public, with deference to SBC’s constitution and its obligations under said constitution to be open and transparent. SBC has not covered itself in glory over this whole episode and we ratepayers need to know why they will not put the site out to tender again.

Roger Pickstock King Street Scarborough

Council must modify its theme-park approach to Futurist site DEAR EDITOR,

We do not wish to reopen the debate about whether the Futurist should have been demolished. It has gone and we should look to what can now be achieved.

It must be recognised that the town is presented with a rare opportunity to create an outstanding development. We feel it is vital that a wide ranging debate is opened up about how to achieve this. A ‘consultation’ on what has already been proposed to the council is not enough.

The development of this site is so important to Scarborough that our professional group, all with long experience of the town, wish to put forward some design principles, which we hope will help by suggesting how a really successful architectural scheme might emerge.

The site faces the south bay with stunning views and the promise of many hours of sunlight. It has all the advantages that this offers scenically and climatically. The new development should take full advantage of this, especially in Yorkshire, and offer people the maximum opportunity to enjoy it.

You cannot get this in Leeds, York or Doncaster.

When people come to Scarborough or live here, they

come to the south bay for pleasure and relaxation. Consequently the architecture and design should accommodate a lighter and freer feel, encouraging people, through the design, to unwind, forget their cares, be distracted. The design needs to have a light and airy character, and be a contemporary design of the highest quality achievable. A ziggurat form is only one possibility., stepping slightly back up the hill at each level.

The Olympia style of development is exactly what should be avoided: an enclosed space, a box, oppressive in design and inward looking. The new Futurist development should be outward looking, full of light, a visual partner to the wonderful bay and the gardens, so people can sit and enjoy it in cafes and restaurants, and when walking past on the promenade or beach.

The design needs to employ a vertical emphasis and characteristics to complement the town and its architecture. It is essential to avoid a horizontal architectural solution as seen in the Olympia building, Sainsbury’s supermarket and the Town Hall’s 1960s extension.

Care needs to be taken not to obscure the skyline of the old town hall, Royal Hotel and Grand.

The development should provide

attractive accesses to King Street and St Nicholas gardens but should not encroach on or ‘privatise’ the gardens.

What uses could be expected to fit into these design principles?

It is recognised that Scarborough needs all-year-round, all-weather facilities. It is to be hoped that this outstanding site might attract regionally significant uses.

The opportunity exists, from the first floor and above, for a variety of uses, such as cafes, restaurants, cinemas, flats or apartments, a hotel, penthouses.

How to get there? This is an ambitious design brief for Scarborough to up its game.

To achieve anything like it, the council would have to be persuaded to remarket the site in a really positive way as a great architectural and commercial opportunity. It should encourage the present interested parties to meet the criteria set out above.

This would require considerable modification of their theme-park approach, which seems unlikely to be compatible with a successful architectural solution.

Gordon Somerville, Chris Hall, Jonathan Allison, David Green, Peter Cooper and Scarborough Civic Society president Adrian Perry.

Holbeck Hill is a rat run DEAR EDITOR

I read with interest your last issue and applaud the excellent safety Park and Stride initiative whereby parents of pupils at St Martin’s and Wheatcroft schools are encouraged to park in the Holbeck car park and walk to the schools.

As a resident of that part of Holbeck Hill, I see on a daily basis the horror that the traffic issues cause and it is only a matter of time before somebody is killed.

The five-minute walk that the kids have to take from the car park to the schools will mean running the gauntlet of the shouting

and foul language from the (not ‘Considerate Constructors’) building site.

Although unacceptable, it is a small price to pay and much safer than having to walk around builder’s merchant delivery trucks and heavy plant manoeuvres.

I cannot understand how the builders are allowed to have goods delivered during school starting and finished times.

Holbeck Hill is a bus route and a rat run. There are two schools in the vicinity and there is the building work of the new flats.

Plus, once finished, whenever that will be, the extra traffic the

new flats will generate. To add to the problem, the council have now granted planning permission for more flats to be built opposite the current building site. I just hope they finish one project first before commencing work on the second one.

We desperately need a traffic calming system between the Sea Cliff Road and Wheatcroft Avenue intersections. Be it speed bumps or chicanes, similar to the ones lower down the road.

A van with a plan RNLI busy with lifebuoys Rare mobile shop business goes up for sale

by Krystal Starkey AN extraordinary opportunity to buy a small-but-promising mobile shop business in Scarborough for just £2000 has come into fruition.

Roots and Shoots has been going for 20 years, run by husband and wife team, Mike and Tania Simcox, who travel around Scarborough, Filey and Hunmanby in their mobile van, providing local residents with everything a corner shop would.

Mike and Tania recognise that their business is a much appreciated service for customers who can’t always get to the shops and want their business to continue to serve the people of Scarborough.

For this reason they’re selling Roots and Shoots for a modest price of £2000, which includes the van, existing stock and a

customer list. They’re even willing to spend time helping the new owner get going with the business and show them the ropes.

Mike said: “We now feel that it is time to give Roots and Shoots a new custodian, with the desire and drive to keep this service going. And of course look after our lovely customers, many of whom will be sorely missed.”

The company currently operates on a four day week three sales day and one stock day, but Mike and Tania are confident with a little push from a new owner, it will comfortably turn into a five day week business, if not more.

The van is a Fiat Ducato Luton, which has just passed its MOT, complete with shelving, lights, scales and every necessary convenience to run the business.

If you could be Scarborough’s new mobile shopkeeper and

want to try a new business venture, give Mike and Tania a call on 07811 785190 or email tania@roots-and-shoots.co.uk they will be happy to answer any questions.

EMERGENCY lifebuoys have been placed all along the seafront in Scarborough’s south bay.

Now, a concerted effort has been mounted to do the same in the north bay.

An unofficial, ad-hoc alliance of likeminded groups and individuals have coordinated the potentially life-saving campaign.

It includes members of the council, the RNLI and South Bay Traders Association.

The group has raised £5,500 so far and needs another £1,000 to achieve its target of placing lifebuoys around the north bay.

Many businesses including McCain have supported the initiative with generous donations.

The red lifebuoys, which cost £200 each, can be thrown by members of the public to somebody in distress in the sea. * Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild will stage a fashion show at the Crown Spa Hotel on 9 May, to raise funds for the

RNLI. Rosie Jackson of Cosmetique in Scarborough will provide the models and clothing. She will be joined by Jane Wheldon from Get Ahead Hats in Snainton.

There will be a tombola and a raffle. Tickets will cost £5 but the prizes are well worth it, promises Lynne Garforth of the guild. They include a £150 voucher from Cosmetique, jewellery, meals for two at various restaurants, handbags, bottles and cosmetic spoils such as hair-dos, nail painting, etc.

“The venue lends itself to elegance and flair”, says Lynne.

“We hope this will tempt as many people as possible to come and join us. The glamour of the night will be top class”.

Tickets cost £15 which includes a glass of wine and tapas.

To book seats, ring Gladys Freeman, who chairs the guild, on 366630.

It measures 26 x 23 inches and shows the lifeboat passing the lighthouse on its way back from a call in choppy seas. The painting will be auctioned to raise funds.

Nick, who is based in the Vaults at the Market Hall, is a keen supporter of the RNLI. He said: “Three years ago, during sail training, I fell into the water.

It was so cold. I felt alone and frightened. The instructors rescued me. It made me realise the dangers of the sea. I had no fear of the sea until I fell in.

Dolphins visit the Yorkshire coast

A bottlenose dolphin (photo by Stuart Baines) THE seas off Scarborough are lucky enough to get occasional visits by bottlenose dolphin between April and July.

These marine animals will hunt fish for food and jump out of the water - behaviour otherwise known as breaching.

Stuart Baines, an assistant regional coordinator for the Sea Watch Foundation in Yorkshire, said about 100 bottlenose dolphins spend most of the year off the Northumberland coast and in

spring and early summer some visit the Scarborough area.

Stuart, who lives in the town, says: “There is a very good chance that these dolphins will be seen again off Scarborough in the next few months, so keep your eyes peeled”.

The bottlenose is recognised by its tall, central, sickleshaped dorsal fin. It has a dark grey back and is a lighter grey underneath, with a robust beak. “Adult bottlenose are big dolphins, typically four metres

long”, Stuart said.

They should not be confused with harbour porpoise, which can be seen off Marine Drive all year round. At about 1.4m long, it is much smaller than the bottlenose dolphin. n For further information on dolphin, porpoise and whale sightings, check out the Scarborough Porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages and the Sea Watch Foundation website or send an email to scarboroughporpoise@ btinternet.com.

Scalby Walk will be 60 this year Scalby Walk celebrates its 60th anniversary on Easter Monday, 22 April.

Every year since 1959, residents of Scalby, Burniston and Cloughton have been joined by others for the 6.5-mile walk, which starts outside the Nags Head pub.

Participants must drink half a pint of bitter, lager or a soft drink in four pubs en route, in the following order: the Three Jolly Sailors in Burniston, the Red Lion and Blacksmiths Arms in Cloughton and the Oak Wheel in Burniston.

A dog-friendly variation of the route involves returning via the old railway track instead of Coastal Road.

The aim is to foster community spirit in a friendly family competition and raise

funds for charity through sponsorship. This year’s beneficiary will be Dial-a-Ride.

Previous beneficiaries have included the Teenage Cancer Trust, the YMCA and St Catherine’s Hospice.

There are trophies for residents, non-residents and the best fancy dress.

Runners are not allowed and will be disqualified.

Entry forms are available at the Nags Head. Walkers who register before noon on 21 April will start at 10.30am and pay £10 for adults and £5 for juniors aged 14-18. Those who register afterwards start at 11am and pay £12/£6.

Jamie Wallis, who chairs the walk committee, described the walk as “a tradition that brings the three villages together in

friendly competition and is great fun for all the family”. He said past and new walkers would be welcome.

Film and photos of previous walks will be shown at the Nags Head.

The walk started off as a bet between some of the older and younger regulars at the Plough in Scalby. Frank ‘Sparky’ Sparks was always easily recognisable in his bowler and carnation in his lapel.

In the first year, only men took part. Women joined in in 1961. One of the first was postie Margaret Scarfe, who was a regular for 44 years. The late Canon Chris Tubbs, vicar of St Laurence’s Church, was a regular for 35 years, always wearing his white cricket jumper.

Homeless support centre helps about 400 people a week Are you a safe driver?

THE Scarborough Group of Advanced Motorists (IAM RoadSmart) is offering local drivers the chance to find out how good their driving actually is, completely free of charge.

The first free assessment will take place on Tuesday 16 April from 7pm until dusk at The Street, William Street Coach Park. There is also one on 18 June at 7pm.

IAM Roadsmart is a national road safety charity in existence since 1956 originally as the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) but recently rebranded as IAM Roadsmart. The IAM has always provided training to members of the public through its network of 190 volunteer groups to prepare them for the Advanced

Driving Test. Each group is a registered charity. The Scarborough Group formed in 1982 and has successfully trained nearly 1000 drivers to pass the Advanced Driving Test.

All training and free assessment is provided by group volunteers, who undergo stringent testing.

‘Observers’ are now independently tested every three years to ensure they have the interpersonal skills, driving theory knowledge and driving skills to provide high quality driver training.

Rainbow Centre volunteers and trustees at one of the open days (to order photos ring 353597) A COMMUNITY support centre working with homeless people in Scarborough threw open its doors to all and sundry at two open days.

The Rainbow Centre in Castle Road helps about 400 people who are homeless and/or in difficulties per week.

They include the homeless, families in crisis, former prisoners and individuals facing challenges due to a history of substance misuse or

poverty.

At any one time, there are usually about eight people sleeping rough in Scarborough, in shop doorways, parks, etc.

The drop-in centre has about 50 volunteers who offer advice on various issues relating to accommodation, job searches, debt, benefits, medical needs, clothes and food banks, rehabilitation, etc.

The open days featured tours of the centre, musical

performances, hot drinks and cakes.

The centre has a shower room, laundry facilities, a television lounge and a community cafe.

Emergency clothing and food parcels are available for those in crisis.

The Rainbow Centre is a social action project and a registered charity. With a strong church base, it was set up in 1996 by congregation members of St Mary’s and Holy Apostles

Church to offer practical support in Castle ward, which had been designated as an urban priority area.

It is supported by a range of individuals, churches, charities, local businesses and local government.

It is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am onwards.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

Covering Scarborough, Filey & Hunmanby

By Joe Coates

There is a strong sense of unity shared between churches of different denominations in Scarborough. Their main event in the year will happen again on Good Friday, when Churches Together In Scarborough lead a Walk of Witness from Alma Square via The Brunswick Centre to the Castle, including, at various locations, readings, drama and songs appropriate to the occasion. Many join in that procession, which has taken place for many years. Hundreds follow the cross “to a high place, a green hill, outside a city wall”. This month’s Tale recalls the visits to Scarborough of a very well known Christian, John Wesley, across the years 1759 to 1790. John Wesley, “the best loved man in England” IT had been a long ride on the horse. John Wesley usually kept himself going by singing his brother’s hymns: To God be the Glory, Trust and Obey, And Can It Be, O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, Love Divine, Hark the Herald and thousands more.

His voice seemed to keep the horse going as well, though she was showing signs of tiredness, especially as they clip-clopped up the long, long hill.

“Come on lass! We’re nearly there. Get to the top of the hill and we’ll see the castle and the sea. Then it’s downhill to Scarborough, and we’re finished. Time then to eat, sleep and rest. Come on! O for a thou.. hou….hou….hou….housand to..ungues to oo… sing, my great redeemer’s praise, my grea...hea...hea… hea...heat redeemer’s praise……...”

John Wesley was very keen to get to Scarborough. The small fellowship classes he had established had blossomed.

He was an Anglican minister, who saw a need to preach outside to reach those who

would not enter a church. His outdoor preaching had led many to receive the message of salvation in Jesus. These were ordinary folk, and their faith had flourished. They had even built a chapel on Church Stairs Street, as a meeting place, where local believers took on the role of local preachers.

Strong Christian groups were established, and it was no surprise when, in due course, these groups across the nation, joined together to form the Methodist Church. Over time, a much larger building would be required, and Queen Street Central Hall Methodist Church was opened in 1840, with pews for 1,500 worshippers and several rooms for classes.

Further Methodist churches were built across the town. All this started off in Scarborough by a sermon delivered outside

by John Wesley in “the old town” just below St. Mary’s church.

After a warm welcome, a good night’s sleep, and a bit of breakfast, John made his way to the place where he usually

preached. Word had gone round that the preacher was back, so John Wesley a crowd had already gathered, most full of anticipation, a few spoke, “in a short time all were new to this and a few there for quiet and still.”

John Wesley’s voice echoed a laugh.

Most listeners were connected around the street, opening with fishing and the sea, living minds and hearts to the Saviour. down in “the old town” near Many felt their hearts “strangely the harbour. Scarborough was warmed” as he spoke. a busy port in those days, with “And can it be that each one more than 150 ships registered of you can gain an interest in to ship goods in and out. The the Father’s love! Yes you can! town was already established Amazing love! How can it be? as a seaside resort, the first in Yes! ‘Tis mystery all! ‘Tis mercy Britain, probably the first in the all! If your spirit is imprisoned, world. Sea-bathing for health, wake up to the light, your chains and taking the Spa water were will fall off, your hearts will be the big attractions. And so, in free. Rise up, go forth, follow the large crowd in front of him the Lord.”

John preached again, later in was a wide mix of listeners.

“Greetings all. it’s a joy to be the day. “Jesus though art all back here in Scarborough, to compassion, visit us with thy see so many waiting to hear a salvation, enter every trembling word from God. May God bless heart ” Despite his age, in his 70s, John you today, in Jesus.”

There was a bit of wildness in Wesley had amazing grace and the crowd and some loud banter stamina. He awoke quite early from rugged fishermen and sea- next day. I imagine him, before men, and the fish ladies who breakfast, praying for the gutted and sorted the caught people of Scarborough, in the fish, and yet, as John Wesley past, present and future.[Hey!

Up Church Stairs Street, in view of St. Mary’s That includes me!]. I imagine him getting the horse ready for the day’s ride, to his next preaching place.

“Come on lass! You can do it! Away we go!” And as the horse clip-clopped along, the singing began, in time with the clip-clops, “ Hark the herald angels si...ing, glory to the newborn King, peace on earth and mercy mi...ild, God and sinners reconciled, Joyful all…….”

Clippety-clop!

Clippety-clop!

Clippety-clop! Clippety-clop!

John Wesley preached 14 times in Scarborough. During his

ministry, it’s estimated he rode 250,000 miles on horseback, across the length and breadth of the UK, and preached 40,000 sermons, usually 2 or 3 a day. Meanwhile his younger brother, Charles, wrote about 6,500 hymns, many of which are still sung today in services in churches of different denominations. As many of you will recognise, I’ve used some of the words from those hymns as part of John Wesley’s sermons.

I feel he would rejoice at the unity between churches today. © Joe Coates 2019 www.northbaytales.com

Job fair was a Grand day “WELCOME to Yorkshire, welcome to Scarborough and welcome to the 2019 Scarborough Job Fair!” proclaimed the man who opened it, at the Grand Hotel.

Peter Dodd, the commercial director of Welcome to Yorkshire, was standing in for chief executive Sir Gary Verity, who was due to open the fair but couldn’t make it.

With hundreds of jobs on offer, it was a hive of activity with nearly 900 visitors and 43 exhibitors.

Employers from a wide range of sectors met potential employees face to face. One of them, Active Security, commented: “We met some enthusiastic people who I’m positive will be working with us in 2019”. York NHS Trust were kept busy throughout the event, which a spokesperson described as “Fantastic! I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many people”. Sainsbury’s agreed, saying it was “the busiest and best yet”.

Jobcentre Plus recruitment managers Bron Dixon and Janine Richardson said: “This year’s fair has definitely been the biggest and best yet. Nearly a quarter of the employers at the event signed up to the Disability Confident scheme, which leads the way in the business sector and beyond, helping to positively change attitudes, behaviours and cultures. So we hope there was something for everyone.

We are proud of bringing local employers and local people together on days like this. It really makes a difference and can change people’s lives”.

Jane Elsworth-Barker of Aspire-igen added: “It is great to be able to support the local community to achieve their ambitions by providing them with motivation and support in this way and we look forward to doing it again next year”.

In his opening speech, Mr Dodd thanked Aspire-igen and Jobcentre Plus for their “phenomenal efforts”, saying that the event “had a track record of reaching so many people and making a difference by offering new opportunities and careers”.

Many sectors were represented at the fair. Exhibitors included

some of the area’s larger employers such as Sirius Minerals, Cooplands, York NHS Trust, North Yorkshire County Council, Flamingo Land, Scarborough Council and Haven Blue Dolphin.

Others included Tyro Training, St Cecilia’s, Gladstone Care, Castle Employment, Tesco, Happy Futures and Coventry University.

The organisers said the feedback from exhibitors and customers had been overwhelmingly positive and they were already seeing job offers and successes from the day.

Curious Roots

BY ROGER OSBORNE

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

Hooray for April, the first really cheerful month APRIL brings blossom to the fruit trees — the pale petals of apple and plum, the pink froth of ornamental cherries, the deep red of crab apples, and the delicate white showers of our native woodland cherry.

Summer birds arrive in numbers this month: sand martins, swallows, puffins at Bempton cliffs, and hopefully some cuckoos.

Warm April sunshine may tempt butterflies from hibernation — peacocks with startling eyespots, raggedy commas, and small russet-winged tortoiseshells.

We know spring is in full flow when we see the first large bumblebee, the black-andgold buff-tail, collecting pollen from willow catkins. Next come the red-tailed bumbles, big, fluffy and all-over black except for a bright magenta bum. These handsome bees are queens, and although their size can be alarming, they’re not aggressive to admiring humans.

Primroses, wood anemones, and later on heavenly bluebells, enjoy their moment before woodland trees come into leaf. Packed colonies of ramsons, or wild garlic, raise their globes of white stars above bright green leaves and startle us with their fresh, onion scent. On the woodland edge glossy celandines turn their faces to the sun while shy dog violets hide in the grass, their tiny flowers exquisite but scentless.

Yellow gorse, smelling of coconut, blazes on cliff tops where coltsfoot grows.

Snowdrifts of tiny flowers on the blackthorn bushes warn of a cold snap, the Blackthorn Winter.

While daffodils brought a dose of sunshine to March’s greyer days, some garden hybrids are already past their best. But our native wild daffodil, narcissus pseudonarcissus, flowers a bit later.

The “Lent lily” is blooming now in Harwood Dale, Arncliffe Woods, and alongside the river on Farndale’s famous Daffodil Trail.

Easter falls in April this year. While it’s the church’s most important festival, Eastertide has also accumulated a great deal of folklore.

For a start, the weather at this moveable feast doesn’t always oblige. Old lore says that rain on Good Friday and Easter Monday— it has to be both — means a good year for grass and a bad year for hay, in other words a wet summer.

If it should turn chilly, another old saying promises jam tomorrow: “East wind in spring, a good summer shall bring.”

From the Humber to the Scottish borders, Passion Sunday (April 7) was known as Carlin Sunday. Carlins are brown maple peas, a nutritious food but not one found on wealthy tables. To turn the dried peas into a feast they were soaked overnight in salted water, rinsed, boiled, and then fried. To add more flavour, into the pan went herbs, vinegar, onions, or even a drop of rum. The custom almost died out, except on Tyneside where they’re still served in paper cones.

Discover the nutty flavour for yourself — buy carlins online from hodmedods.co.uk The following Sunday is Palm Sunday, when Jesus arrived in Jerusalem riding a humble ass, while the welcoming crowd threw palm leaves.

Since then every donkey carries a cross-shaped stripe, a holy mark says folklore, given in recognition of its role.

The most solemn day is the 19th, Good Friday. The Lent fast used to be broken in the morning with hot cross buns.

Until the 20th century only the most necessary work was done: to do otherwise would invite misfortune. Easter Saturday was a normal day taken up with preparations so while parents were busy, kids were out begging eggs or money by singing a traditional “pace-egg” song.

Until John Cadbury made his first chocolate egg in

1875, most Easter eggs were hardboiled. People made patterns by marking shells with candle wax, or tying on strips of lace or leaves, before simmering the eggs with plant dyes. Yellow came from gorse flowers or onion skins, green from spinach, brown from tea, and pink from beetroot.

On Sunday people were up early to watch the sunrise, because the Sun danced for joy on Easter Day. Then they went to church dressed in their best clothes, preferably with something new to bring luck. Most women couldn’t afford a new dress in the latest fashion, but for pennies they could trim an old hat with new ribbons. That’s how the tradition of Easter bonnets began.

Easter Monday was spent in ways we recognise — with sport, fairs, and fun such as chasing eggs down steep hills. This was especially popular in the villages of the North York Moors, where the almost vertical hillsides gave things an added edge. The usual plan was to see whose egg would go furthest before disintegrating. To make it more challenging, goals were marked at the bottom of the slope. Any eggs left in a halfreasonable state were eaten, but people made sure to crush the shells completely because a witch could use a half-shell to sail out to sea and whistle up a storm.

One reason why these customs arose is because eggs were plentiful. Hens didn’t know eggs couldn’t be eaten during Lent, so they just kept laying them. Those surplus eggs were hard-boiled or pickled and saved until the fast was over. But above all, eggs are an ancient symbol of new life. Re-birth, beginnings, new dawns — that’s what Easter is about.

THIS month lovers of the natural world have been mourning the death of Peter Robinson, one of the great naturalists of this region. Most readers won’t have known Peter but you may well have spotted him beetling about on his bicycle, deerstalker on head, sample bag on shoulder, on his way to another set of field observations.

Peter began his career as a technician at Hull University where it became clear that he knew more about fossils than most of the academic staff. After a spell teaching in the southwest, he returned to

Yorkshire, living at Ayton and then Pickering. Peter was highly unusual in having expertise in a vast range of subjects, from the butterflies of Dalby Forest, to limestone flora of the Tabular Hills, to the ammonites of the Yorkshire coast. Going on a field trip with Peter was exhilarating and exhausting – many an evening outing ended in complete darkness while he talked passionately about the wonders of the lesser stitchwort.

For someone so knowledgeable Peter was extremely friendly to anyone who shared his interests, no matter

how ignorant we were in comparison. To my mind this was his great contribution to the world. While some people’s technical knowledge makes them forbidding, Peter was the opposite. Always enthusiastic, always curious and always open to others.

So as the spring weather takes hold, get out into the natural world, read up on local fossils, trees, flowers and birds if you can. But remember it’s your enthusiasm and love of nature that matters most.

Rewilding Britain SOMETIMES as gardeners we may be seen to be a bit old fashioned in our outlook. We tend to do the same jobs the same way each season because we’ve always done it that way!

And who’s to say that’s wrong if it works for you. Then suddenly something or someone will make you look differently at an issue and you begin to think, why not?

Blue Campaign Rewilding Britain has begun in the South West and is heading in our direction. The aim of the campaign is to get people to rethink what they do in their gardens for the betterment of nature. So, why do we have to be so neat and tidy in our gardens? Could you leave some of your lawn uncut to allow the grass to produce seed heads beneficial to insects? Are you obsessive about cutting down your borders in autumn? If so, why not leave some seed heads for birds to peck at and cut them down at a later date when the birds are under less pressure to find food? Why do we put hedgehog boxes in our gardens? It’s a lovely idea that would make Mrs Tiggywinkle house proud but what’s wrong with leaving a large pile of leaves in a shady part of the garden which would make a great hedgehog house just as easily? And think about the cost to the environment of raking up all those leaves and putting them in a big wagon to be taken away? Why not put

them on your shrub borders to rot down and let the worms do the work for you?

Some allotment groups are ahead of the game here as they already make use of tons of leaves that are swept up of our streets. The leaves are composted down and make a great soil improver. Whatever did we do before green waste collections? There are over 15 million gardens in this country and the combined area is greater than all the nature reserves put together. What this tells us is that nature is happening in our own back garden and we can enhance it and help it along by thinking a little bit differently. Can you leave a patch of nettles undisturbed in a corner of your garden? This will produce a habitat for caterpillars which will, in turn, produce food for blue tit chicks. And the best thing about this campaign is that it costs absolutely nothing.

So, we will be taking a long hard look at the Muck and Magic garden over the next few months to see if we can think a bit differently and give nature a helping hand in our own back garden.

The next meeting of Garden Club will take place on Monday April 8th at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine,

Scarborough. Meetings begin at 7pm and this month we will be listening to Ian Murphy and his colleague Pete Rogers talking about the gardens and birds to be found at Burnby Hall near Pocklington. All welcome. More details from muckandmagic@hotmail.com or by calling Sheila on 07961 966617 And finally, if you like listening to good gardening speakers don’t miss The Queens Gardener, Jim Buttress, who will be appearing at Books

By The Beach, Scarborough Literature Festival on Sunday April 14th at Scarborough Library Concert Hall beginning at 1pm. Jim was gardener to the Queen Mother, head of Royal Parks and also a former chairman of the Britain in Bloom panel of Judges. You may also recall him as a judge on the BBC Great Allotment Challenge. He is an eminent and highly respected horticulturist and has a terrific tale to tell of his life in gardening. This is a dont miss event. Tickets are £7 and are available from Stephen Joseph Theatre box office or online from the Books by the Beach website.

Happy Gardening!

Covering Scarborough, Filey & Hunmanby

How Henry II, Thomas à Becket and town’s military magazines are connected Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology AS a lad, I was told by my newsagent that John Menzies was the big magazine storage facility when I used to order my comics. The depot was down Mill Street, off Victoria Road in Scarborough.

“Can you get Star Wars Weekly or Kung Fu Monthly?” I used to ask. “I’ll see if John Menzies can get hold of it for you”, they used to say.

I imagined John Menzies to be like the warehouse at the end of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, full to the brim of comics, all boxed up in a great big hanger.

Now, when I think of magazine storage facilities, another type springs to mind, relating to a very different kind of magazine - a warehouse for storing military ammunition. It is from the old French for ‘store’ and has been used since the 14th century. It didn’t become associated with journals and periodicals until the 18th century.

The 19th century antiquarian Robert Knox described the remains of a small building at the foot of the hill in Peasholm Park. This ruin, he explained, was what was left of Northstead Manor. He wrote: “A few yards south-west of the hill is a path and a ruined building which as [historian] Thomas Hinderwell related was a manor house.

That, however, seems very questionable. It was more likely to have been a magazine”.

Knox describes Peasholm Gap as an area of fortifications defending Scarborough from attack from the north. He states that this magazine and the surrounding ramparts are the reason why the big mound

was known locally as Bunker Hill. He describes ramparts connecting the magazine with the top of Peasholm Hill and Peasholm Fort, a military building dating to the time of the civil war. Knox explains: “Originally these fortifications perhaps refer to a period far more remote in antiquity that that of Cromwell’s time, for this pass would be defended by the people who had to successively contend with assailants more fierce and barbarous than themselves”.

Knox, who reckoned the ancient fortifications predated Scarborough castle, proposed that the hill which now has a pagoda be known as Old Castle-hill. But it didn’t really catch on.

In a drawing he made in the 1850s, Knox shows a track that leads from the end of Greengate, an old name for North Marine Road. It cuts down the hill to where the boat landing is now on the lake.

The track crossed the lake past the ruin of the magazine to where the penny well is today, near the little bridge on the other side of the lake.

It then followed the current route up out of the park via the putting green to Northstead Manor Drive. Interestingly the track, if continued, would have connected with one of the High Peasholm tumuli that were on Ryndle Walk. The track may predate the parish boundary.

At the other end of Greengate is St Thomas Street, named after the Church of St Thomas the Martyr. With two hospitals of the same name, the church stood to the north side of the old bar, near where the

Carvings from the Church of St Thomas the Martyr were reused in St Mary’s Church pancake bell is rung today, at the Newborough end of North Street. St Thomas’s is the second magazine that springs to mind when I hear the words magazine facility.

St Thomas the Martyr, or Thomas à Becket, was murdered in 1170 as a result of the misheard orders of Henry II after a bitter argument between cleric and king about the rights and privileges of the church.

Henry II gave Scarborough its castle keep, built around 1169.

St Thomas’s church, dedicated to Becket, was built not long after he was canonised as a martyr by the pope in 1173.

Some 500 years later, both the castle keep and St Thomas’s chapel were destroyed in the civil war.

St Thomas’s was founded in the 12th century by the town’s burgesses for the care of its young orphans and the infirm.

Such tasks were recognised as necessary to maintain a healthy community even in the 12th century. The order of monks that ran the hospital and chapel preserved the ancient custom of ringing a bell at six o’clock every morning and in

the evening.

This bell has become the shriving or pancake bell which is still rung on Shrove Tuesday.

The original bell is in the care of Scarborough Museums Trust.

During the castle siege, St Thomas’s Church was converted into a magazine for storing military supplies by the Parliamentary forces under the command of Sir John Meldrum.

Scarborough fell to the Parliamentarians on Shrove Tuesday 1645. St Thomas’s was demolished in 1649 after sustaining irreparable damage during the siege.

What a coincidence that the castle keep and St Thomas’s Church were built and either wholly or partly destroyed at about the same time, 500 years later. At more or less the same time, Scarborough fell to the Parliamentarians on Shrove Tuesday and the St Thomas’s bell became the pancake bell we ring today.

Such associations could be described as synchronicity, a term coined by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to describe uncanny coincidences

New kids’ shop on the block

by Krystal Starkey

The sort of toys that will be on sale at Mucky Monkey

GOOD Friday will see the opening of a new children’s toy shop in Scarborough.

Mucky Monkey Toy Shop, will be the second shop in Scarborough run by Geoff and Andrew Booker-Hall, who also run the successful vegan-friendly cosmetic store, Green Donkey Apothecary.

It was the success of Green Donkey Apothecary that has made it possible to create this back to basics toy shop.

None of the toys will have an electrical lead or section to place batteries. In fact, the store slogan is ‘Unplug your

kids.’ The shop will stock an array of traditional wooden toys and games to suit all pockets. Alongside the luxury wooden train sets and dollhouses, will be prestige pocket money toys too.

The opening of Mucky Monkey Toy Shop will be on Good Friday and to celebrate, Geoff and Andrew are holding a four day Easter egg hunt, over the holiday weekend, around the amazing Betton Farm. Each child that completes the quiz successfully will receive a gift. Plus a daily winner, picked at random will receive a beautifully handmade Easter egg from Amelia Chocolates, worth £30 each. The store’s opening hours will be 10am -4pm, daily.

ABOUT 150 acts have been booked to play at Filey’s annual folk festival, from 3-6 May. The festival is growing - it is now running across four instead of three days.

It was founded in 2004 by Robert Hartley, with help from Filey Folk Club regulars Alan and Poppy Scott-Hallgate.

Performers span a broad range of styles including acoustic folk, blues, traditional, country, acoustic rock and pop.

Most of the gigs are free. The main exceptions are at the 120-seat Evron Centre, the principal venue, where Grammywinning mandolin maestro John Reischman and the Jaybirds can be seen on 3 May (£10). They hail from western Canada and

California and play contemporary bluegrass, folk and country.

TALK ON BRITISH WAR ARTISTS OF WW1 DR DOROTHY Nott gave a wellillustrated talk to the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery about the British artists sent to the Front in the First World War. In the 19th century, French artists portrayed romantic heroes in the glory of battle whereas British artists showed the problems of war; the cold and the mud.

Dr Nott illustrated this through the paintings of William ‘Crimea’ Simpson, who sent his watercolours to the Illustrated London News for engraving and publication. He considered his function was to draw attention to “the plight of the common soldier”.

Photos from the Boer War were similarly depressing.

Artists were not sent to France officially until late in WW1, but talented artists serving in the trenches and as medical orderlies, notably Paul Nash and Christopher Nevison, sent home sketches of their experiences. The emotional impact of the drawings eventually made the authorities aware of the need for artists’ records to give accurate news and information, and for historical records, propaganda and a lasting memorial.

When British artists were sent officially to the Front,

only young men and women were chosen; no older men with conventional ideas of portraying battle scenes were considered.

This inspired decision enabled young people to express their experiences and feelings in original ways and led to several new movements of art.

Dr Nott showed slides of the work of Stanley Spencer, Percy Wyndham-Lewis, John Nash, Paul Nash, Christopher Nevison and others. George Clausen’s picture, Youth Mourning, painted in response to the death of his daughter’s fiancé, has come to symbolise the distress of the many bereaved wives and sweethearts.

Officially engaged artists portrayed the Home Front, munition factories and farms.

They designed camouflage for ships and tanks. Some pictures were censored: dead German soldiers could be shown but pictures of dead British soldiers could not. The church was offended by the secular approach of young artists.

Artist Robin Horspool will talk about family friend Winifred Holtby, author of South Riding, at the Friends’ next meeting, at the library on 8 April, at 2.30pm.

Young and old performers booked for Open-Air Theatre YEARS & YEARS, Madness, Lewis Capaldi and Jess Glynne are the latest acts booked to play at Scarborough’s Open-Air Theatre this summer.

They join Kylie Minogue, Cliff Richard and Hacienda Classical on the 6,000-seat venue’s rosta of performers.

Synth-pop band Years & Years' music has been described as electropop, mixing R&B and 1990s house.

The band consists of Olly Alexander, Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen. Their first studio LP, Communion, entered the album chart at number one in 2015 and was the fastest-selling debut album of the year from a signed band.

Two singles from it, King and Shine, reached numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Their second album Palo Santo, which came out last year, features a dystopian world consisting of robot-like beings named Androids and humans as the minority.

Madness, who formed in 1976, were one of the leading bands of the late-70s and early80s two-tone ska revival. They still perform with six of the seven members of their classic line-up. Madness achieved most of their success in the early to mid-1980s. They had 15 singles in the top ten, including One

Step Beyond, Baggy Trousers, It Must be Love and their only UK number one House of Fun. In 2000, the band received the Ivor Novello award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for outstanding song collection.

Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, 22, achieved mainstream success throughout 2018 and this year reached number one with his single Someone you Loved.

After signing with Atlantic Records, Jess Glynne rose to prominence in 2014 as a featured artist on the singles Rather Be by Clean Bandit and My Love by Route 94, both of which reached number one.

Both her albums to date entered the album chart at number one. Her debut, I Cry When I Laugh saw the international success of the singles Hold my Hand and Don't be so Hard on Yourself. The followup, Always in Between, saw continued success with the singles I'll be There, which made her the first British female solo artist to have seven UK number one singles, and All I Am.

RYEDALE FESTIVAL RETURNS TO SCARBOROUGH RYEDALE Festival is branching out to Scarborough with two concerts in the summer - as usual.

The Orchestra of Opera North will return to the Spa Grand Hall, the festival’s easternmost venue, on 20 July, at 7.30pm.

It will perform The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra

by Britten, Elgar’s cello concerto and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

In 1946, Britten used a little piece for hornpipe by Purcell to take young listeners on an epic tour of the orchestra, introducing countless children to classical music.

Another great technicolour orchestral showpiece by Mussorgsky evokes the vivid emotional response he had to a series of sketches, watercolours and architectural designs he saw one day at an exhibition.

The soloist for the Elgar will be Franco-Belgian cellist Camille Thomas, making her UK debut

with one of the greatest English concertos, full of passion and poetry. Her “beautifully shaped phrases flow from her bow as naturally as singing - her impressive virtuosity appears effortless”, according to a review in the Strad.

Orchestra director Phil Boughton comments: “2017 marked the orchestra’s first visit to the Spa in six years. We’re delighted to be returning”.

The musicians will be under the baton of conductor Alpesh Chauhan, who has risen from Birmingham apprentice to international maestro in a dazzlingly short time”, as BBC Music magazine put it.

The festival’s other Scarborough concert will be at St Martin’s Church on 25 July, at 11am.

A Purcell Pageant will be performed by Solomon’s Knot, who will delve into the shimmering fantasy world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as depicted in Purcell’s Fairy Queen, bestudded with jewels

from his odes, welcome songs and masques.

Described in the Observer as “organic music-making at its most sophisticated”, Solomon’s Knot is one of the most exciting baroque collectives. Performing without a conductor and often from memory, they describe themselves as “a group of singers and players who are prepared to take risks to communicate more directly with their audience”.

Ryedale Festival has been promoting concerts in Scarborough for the past six years, working alongside the local community and performing groups.

Described in the Times as “Yorkshire’s boldest music festival”, it is offering 500 tickets at £1 each for under-30s.

This is part of its commitment to provide great music for as many people as possible in the region.

Tickets go on sale on 10 April. They cost £30, £25, £20 and £15 for the Spa and £23,

Two and a half hours of polished hilarity Words & photo

by Dave Barry MARK STEEL was ‘in town’ in early March, at the Spa. But he wasn’t gently dissecting Scarborough, as would have happened if he’d been presenting his Radio 4 series by that name. Oddly enough, the town has yet to feature.

Instead, Steel was touring his new show, Every Little Thing's Gonna be Alright.

It was funny from start to finish, two and a half hours of polished hilarity, most of it well-rehearsed but with ample room for ad libs, about Scarborough, for instance.

Incidentally, it would have been only two hours long if he hadn’t sworn.

He quipped that the town’s roadworks surfeit had been designed to stop people finding

the venue, and asked if we all lived off candy floss and fudge.

Inevitably, Brexit and Theresa May came in for a lot of flak but, surprisingly, there was only one gag about Trump.

Steel doubled up his excellent mimicry skills by doing the Queen impersonating Harry Redknapp, in a skit on the royal family.

Railing against modern technology and our overcomplicated lifestyles, he ranted about modern innovations and the profusion of choice; banks, nuisance phone calls, booking online and the difficulties of claiming insurance; parliamentary traditions, George Galloway, fox hunting and queueing for Betty’s; his divorce, his penis aversion and the TV show Naked Attraction.

Neither is he particularly keen on professional footballers

LISA’S A WINNER AT LOSING GAME! WHILE most people would be offended to be called a loser, one woman from Scarborough is over the moon to have been named ‘Greatest Loser’ of 2019.

That’s because Lisa Adams has lost a life-changing 7st, with help from the Monday morning Northstead Methodist Church Slimming World Group, and feels fabulous as a result.

Lisa says: “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a loser when it feels this good!

I feel like a new woman since losing weight – in fact I look so different that people who I haven’t seen for a while often don’t recognise me. For me though it’s the change on the inside that’s been the greatest – I’m happier, healthier and much more confident now.”

Like many people would be, Lisa was apprehensive about

is in your hand. This is a healing period, and as such, not only can old emotional wounds be healed, but if there have been health problems or concerns then you should now find yourself on the mend – with a lot more positive energy to spare.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th are great days for putting some old ideas into action for the first time, and possibly for becoming a bit more

independent in your working life.

Hobbies could earn you money, and part-time jobs lead to something more rewarding. At the other end of the month, around the 28th, 29th or 30th, there is a possibility that you might become just a little bit accident prone, so mind how you go. Check anything and everything to do with insurance and make sure cars are in working order.

With the advent of spring your moods and levels of energy increase significantly, and you’ll be busy doing things you’ve put off all winter. Work projects auger well and there could be career moves afoot for ambitious people who like a challenge. Travel plans being made late in the month, and there will be in depth conversations

April should be a good moneymaking month, but I reckon you’re going to be working hard to get it, and there is some risk of stretching yourself a bit too far if you insist on burning the candle at both ends.

23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT

A busy period on the social scene, and this should bring opportunities to meet new people who will make your evenings more exciting and make the days seem brighter. There is an obvious romantic connotation here, but it goes further than that: parties, business networking, and who you know being more

In some ways, quite a thoughtful month in which you’ll be inclined to judge people more by their actions than their words. Some disappointment around the 11th is compensated for around the 19th or 20th, and it will be a clear case of the opening door being more advantageous than the one that

CANCER 21ST JUN - 22ND JUL

Ladies of the sign might have a problem with ex-partners who are looking for some payback, while gentlemen of the sign will be far too busy in pursuit of career ambitions to notice what is going on around them. Both the guys and the girls need to pull back a bit, find some objectivity, and if something needs to be put right to balance a score, now is the time to do it.

LEO 23RD JUL - 22ND AUG

A mood of nostalgia hits people of a certain age, but it’s no good dwelling on the past when you should be considering your future – both the short and the long term.

Having said that, you can learn much from past mistakes, and something occurs between the 17th and 21st that makes these words of mine make a lot more sense!

SCORPIO 23RD OCT - 21ST NOV

A lover or partner (or someone who would like you to see them in this light) will be going out of their way to please and impress, but you are a Scorpio, and it wouldn’t be the first time you looked a gift horse in the mouth. Nevertheless, a promise will be made around the 12th or 13th and if you choose to put the promise to the test, you won’t be disappointed.

All domestic and family matters are at the top of your agenda at this time and there may well be some big changes within family dynamics. You look back with sadness over losses and disappointments, but this releases you to find fresh confidence and vitality when you look forwards.

Property sales could be relevant, leading to greater financial security.

Quite a lot of stress on the work scene, but take a few big breaths and measure your energy, and you should be able to keep your head above water. Lots of love and care coming from lovers and partners, and if there are areas of friction, it’ll be on the subject of money – not so much where it’s coming from, but

PISCES 19TH FEB - 20TH MAR

Quite an easy-going month for most of you – those who wish to preserve the status quo. However, those folk who are looking for change and adventure will be challenged to actually do something to bring this about, because it isn’t going to happen all on its own. The 15th to the 20th is an opportune period for rocking the boat and taking a few calculated risks.

POEM CORNER

BY BEN ROBINSON

Our Polaroid

I’m here looking at our final Polaroid, I feel like I’m deep in a dark void, I see you and him, And I go back to the brink.

You told me all the reasons that we couldn’t be together, But you told me all the reasons we were falling for each other, I told you not to hurt me like this, Not to ruin my perfect bliss, That’s when you walked out, The sun came up, and you left me there.

Remember when it all got too much, And the flowers turned to bush, The dawn turned to dusk, We didn’t know what way to go, But the sun was peaking, And when you walked out, The seeds could finally sprout, All the Polaroid’s of us, Were burned deep in the woods, All the memories of November, All the pictures, gone forever.

The breaking of my heart, The smile in a new start, It all built up to daybreak, Looking out into the ocean, Feeling so many emotions, I’ve been through all the motions, To finally feel fulfilled.

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.

WATERCOLOUR ARTIST ENRAPTURES MEETING A PROFESSIONAL artist’s technique in handling the difficult medium of watercolour enraptured Scarborough Art Society at its last meeting.

Paul Talbot-Greaves said using watercolour could be a series of happy accidents, as so often the medium does its own thing.

A weakness of some watercolourists is lack of contrast, he added. There can be no bright light without an adjacent darkness.

Paul demonstrated that watercolours can be used straight from the tube without the addition of water, a common enough practice with acrylics.

Visiting artists usually take samples of work as well as books and artists’ tools. Paul used several “weird brushes” from Japan which have great capacity for holding colour.

His use of large dividers to construct a picture brought gasps of admiration from his appreciative audience.

Mod, psych and Inspirals at Apollo

by Dave Barry THE 5:15s and Goldray play a double-header at Apollo in Scarborough on 19 April, at the start of the Easter weekend scooter rally.

The 5:15s, from York, cover a lot of ground musically, including ska, northern soul, 60s R&B, garage, Two Tone, Britpop, Motown, jazz and acid jazz.

But mostly they’re a mod band.

“That’s what we all grew up on”, says their website. “We were born mods. We live it, breathe it and love it. We aspire to the mod spirit and attitude of some of the greatest live bands of all time - the Small Faces, the Who and the Jam”.

Sharing the bill at Apollo are Goldray, featuring Reef guitarist Kenwyn House.

Goldray are ex-Reef guitarist

Kenwyn House, Leah Rasmussen on vocals and Andy Treacey on drums.

“Pitch together the moodiness of the Doors, the grooviness of Cream and the tripiness of Floyd and you get this splendid prog ‘n’ psych magical carpet ride”, according to Classic Rock magazine.

Prog magazine described Goldray as “a blend of Zeppelin and Kate Bush, with an intriguing sound that mixes muscular rock with prog and psych. Their riff-driven psychedelic whoosh owes

SCOOTER RALLY AT THE SPA A NATIONAL scooter rally is to be held in Scarborough instead of Whitby at Easter.

The town will once again throb to the sound of two-stroke engines and the seafront will be awash with a spectacle of chrome, trick paintwork, fancy engineering and accessories.

One of several national rallies, it has alternated with Whitby over the Easter bank-holiday weekend for a few years.

People from all over the UK, plus some from abroad, attend on their scooters, many riding great distances.

It is a particular favourite, well established in scootering mythology, with a history of rallies and gatherings going back to the late 70s. The

national events have been taking place in Scarborough since the early 1980s.

The rally will be based at the Spa, which has been hired by the British Scooter Rallies Association.

It will feature a big parts fair with a trade and custom show on 20 April, starting at 10.30am.

The Small Fakers, billed as “a tribute to the boys from Wapping Wharf”, will play on 19 April, followed by Ireland’s Skatuesques and the Superlatives on 20 April, at the Spa. Both will be from 8pm to 2am.

The singer, songwriter and author says he is based in Manchester but always on the move.

He has a range of beers that

he sells at gigs. Tom Hingley's Stout is brewed at Hart Family Brewers in Northamptonshire.

Playing at Apollo on 20 April, Tom and the band will take a trip through Inspiral Carpets’ back-catalogue.

The gigs are scheduled to run from 9pm to 2am.

Tickets can be bought at Record Revivals, Ticketsource and the venue.

Men-only club still going after 120 years SCARBOROUGH 40 Club celebrated its 120th anniversary with a dinner at South Cliff Golf Club.

Its guests were the borough mayor and mayoress, Joe and Margaret Plant.

The club, which describes itself as a ‘gentlemen’s debating group’, was founded in 1899.

Wives and girlfriends are only admitted on special occasions such as the anniversary dinner.

It meets at the Friends’ Meeting House, near the hospital, at 7.30pm on Thursdays from October to March.

The club says it has maintained a steadfast voice in the community throughout its long history.

Press secretary Alan Hargreaves says: “Although membership has decreased from the heady days of 40

members, we still have an important role to play in encouraging good debate and public speaking, particularly in these days of instant communication.

“The club’s survival has been the result of adherence to the simple rules and procedures laid down by our founder Henry Vasey”, Alan says.

“In the 21st century it would be easy to allow our standards to slip. By maintaining our traditions and following our

motto, we will continue to provide a platform for frank and forthright debate for the gentlemen of the Scarborough district and beyond”.

Social events planned for this year include a summer party, a Christmas dinner, a debate with the local United Nations Association and exchange visits with the York Speakers Association. For details, ring 07964 256896.

32 Felicity Newbold with her book

WRITER HOPES TV SHOW WILL EXONERATE HER ANCESTOR A TV show about a Scarborough woman’s fight to clear her great grandmother’s name is to be broadcast on 2 April, at 9.15am.

It will be featured in a new series of the BBC’s Murder Mystery and my Family.

In 1903, Emily Swann and her lover John Gallagher were hanged for the murder of her violent husband.

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.

She left home and “went wild for a few years” but eventually turned her life around, gaining a degree and becoming assistant head at Pindar School in Eastfield.

Last year, Felicity wrote a book about it all and was filmed by the BBC. The programme will be repeated the following day and will be available on iPlayer.

WHEN SMUGGLING RULED AND PUNISHMENT WAS THE NOOSE DO you have a passion for acting or singing?

Are you an actor or singer and want to be part of a new Scarborough-based musical?

Beach Hut theatre company is looking for actors and singers aged 18+ to be part of a new action-adventure musical this summer.

The Curse of the Smuggler’s Run, written by Alison Watt and John Pattison, is a full-length musical set in 19th century Scarborough, when smuggling ruled and punishment was the noose.

Performers will need to be available from 23 April until 20 July. The production will be site-specific and staged over 10 nights, from 10-20 July, in the Market Hall.

It will be directed by Alison, who says: “We are always looking for new talent and this

project is perfect for anyone who’d like to show us what they can do. We have singing and non-singing parts, so please come along and give it a go. We’d love to meet you”.

An open audition will be held at the library on Saturday 30 March between 1.30pm and 4pm.

If you’re interested and would like to audition, email info@ beachhuttheatre.co.uk.

Weaponness mosaic almost complete HUNDREDS of hours and thousands of pounds have been invested in a beautiful tile-mosaic which is about to go on display in Weaponness, Scarborough.

Coordinated by ceramic artist Gaby Naptali, about 80 volunteers have been spending Monday evenings assembling the colourful artwork, which measures 3.5 by 1.5 metres.

It has been created at the Undercroft, at the back of St James’s Church in Valley Road.

It was commissioned by the Weaponness Valley Community Group, launched a few years ago in response to the area’s huge construction projects.

The materials, which cost £5,000, have been paid for by the county council, via Weaponness county councillor Callam Walsh’s locality budget.

The mosaic will be installed in April next to a piece of carved sandstone known as the Sea Dragon, near the University Training College (UTC).

Thousands of glass mosaic tiles have been glued to four sections of strong brown paper in reverse.

When it is ready to be installed, the mosaic as it appears now will be laid upside down on a plinth covered with adhesive. When it has set, the brown paper will be soaked off to reveal the finished

work of art.

The mosaic features the castle; Oriel Bank with a cricketer and a dog chasing the same ball; the railway and the big red brick railway bridge; Oliver’s Mount and a racing motorcyclist;

UTC, Coventry University’s Scarborough complex and the sport centre; the cherry-tree orchard and daffodil hill; and Trinity Church flats. Wildlife includes a donkey, a fox, a heron and a deer.

Pictured with the mosaic are, L-R, Mick Prince, Becky Dawson, Maddie Normington, Austin Marsden Hendrick, Gaby Naptali, Patti Chico, Tony Johnson and Suzie Marsden Hendrick (to order photos ring 353597)

Talk by laughing gardener AYTON LIBRARY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS in Ayton A SPEAKER described as ‘the laughing gardener’ will be the guest speaker at Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library on 11 April at 7pm.

Paul Robinson is an experienced speaker who has been the gardening writer for Bridlington Free Press and deputy manager of a nursery in Harrogate.

His talk will mix fun and laughter with his vast knowledge and experience of gardening.

An audience member at one of Paul’s talks commented: “His performance made the audience roar with laughter and will be remembered for

a very long time. We hadn’t realised that gardening could be such fun”.

Tickets cost £4.

On 18 April, the library will host an Easter craft and activity session for children aged 3-8 years.

They are being invited to take a decorated hat to enter a competition or design a garden in a container for a miniature garden competition (maximum size 20x30cm).

Entry will cost £2.50 per child; adults won’t have to pay.

Tickets for both events include refreshments and can be booked by ringing 868052.

ARE you recently retired or would just like to get involved in your local community?

Do you have some spare time each week, or maybe just once or twice a month?

Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library in West Ayton has vacancies for volunteers in various roles.

For example, behind the reception desk interacting with the public, using a computer, shelving books, helping with children’s activities, gardening, cleaning, fundraising and/or choosing books for home library users.

If you are interested, ask the library for an application form during opening hours (10am7pm Tue, 10am-5pm Wed and

Sun, 10am-1pm Sat).

Derwent Valley Bridge was one of the first community libraries in North Yorkshire and has been run by volunteers since 2012.

AUTHOR CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF NORTH BAY TALES AUTHOR, retired teacher and Scarborough Review columnist Joe Coates is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his popular series of books set on the North Bay Railway.

Here, he talks about the origins and history of the series.

Q Joe, it’s 10 years since your first North Bay Railway book, A Teddy Bears’ Picnic at North Bay Railway. How did it all start?

A When I retired from teaching, I was looking for an outlet for my hobby, writing. My wife was a childminder and I helped her out a bit. Margaret had a season ticket and on several days a week we took the children on the train. They loved it. So did we. We got to know the staff well.

I had an idea for a short story based on that train ride. I wrote it and took it down to the railway to show them. They encouraged me to publish it.

There was a chap down there doing design drawing work for the railway, Bob Atkinson. I asked him if he had ever done any illustrations for a children’s book. “No! But I’d like to”, he said. I told him what I wanted and he got on with it.

Then, with text and illustrations, I went to McRay Press. It was 2009. I spent a fruitful couple of sessions with Mike Springall, setting out the book. We established a framework, should there be further books.

Q There have been nine books over 10 years. Where do the ideas come from?

A Well, from the railway, its daily routines, its special events. The stories have to be believable. Perhaps a few are unlikely to happen, but it’s a believable plot. There is no fantasy. Unlike Thomas the Tank Engine, the engines don’t chat to each other or get up to mischief. The engines simply pull the trains. The main character in all the books is that train ride. The plots have a similar theme: This is North Bay Railway. This is great. Then something happens which might spoil it. Things start to look worse. Then a surprise comes to the rescue and there’s a happy ending. They are not long stories. Tales told in 12 paragraphs.

Q What did it feel like when your first book was published?

A First of all, I self-published, with huge support from Mike Springall at McRay Press. I got such a buzz seeing my book in print. I launched it at an event at the railway. Of course, I’d never done anything like this before. I’m not used to being the centre of attention.

Q Was the book a success?

A It was a local success and further books followed: A Birthday Surprise at North Bay Railway and A Santa Special to Remember at North Bay Railway, both with Bob’s illustrations. The series became known as North Bay Tales. Over the years, many hundreds of books have been sold, chiefly from the railway ticket office.

Q The later books have photos rather than illustrations. Any particular reason?

A Yes. Bob had left Scarborough. I didn’t know any local illustrators and wanted to get on with the book so I decided to use photos instead of illustrations. I’m not a photographer, though I worked out quite precisely what photos were needed and took most of them myself. I relied heavily

on Mike’s skill in using photos, superimposing with a flourish.

If it worked it would be good, as the young readers would have the photos of the train journey they had been on as a memento of their ride.

The book was Donkey Alert at North Bay Railway. A donkey wanders off the beach, up to the railway and goes on the track. The train is coming. The donkey will not move. Mike superimposed a picture of a donkey on to a picture of the track. Would it work? I was in the McRay Press office, having my first look through the proof book. When I turned the page to that picture of the donkey on the track, I burst into tears.

It had worked. Donkey Alert is my favourite book in the series. I’ve done it in some local schools and the children are amazed at what happens in it.

Along came more books and last year A New Driver’s Cap was published, making it nine books over 10 years.

Q It sounds like you’ve enjoyed these 10 years.

A I’ve enjoyed the hobby. Selfpublication isn’t for financial reward, though I’m proud of North Bay Tales. I’m grateful

Joe Coates at North Bay Railway with his latest book (to order photos ring 353597)

to Mike Springall and everyone at North Bay Railway for their support. Indeed, everyone who’s been part of it.

Q So how do you intend to celebrate your 10th anniversary?

A I have a weekend at the railway, 6 and 7 July, and I’m intending to get into as many local schools as I can to tell some of my railway tales to the infant classes. Looking forward to it.

Typically eclectic mix for literature festival

Michael Palin

Joann Fletcher

Christopher Skaife

BESTSELLING authors, broadcasters, biographers, historians, scientists and one of the nation’s favourite globetrotters visit Scarborough for Books by the Beach, from 11-14 April.

As ever, history plays a strong part in the festival, which will be launched by TV Egyptologist and local resident Professor Joann Fletcher (11 Apr). Jo, advisor to many museums and author of nine books, will explore the beginnings of the written word in ancient Egypt.

Legend has it that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, it will crumble to dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. The man responsible for ensuring this disaster never comes to pass, yeoman warder Christopher Skaife, will talk about his book, The Ravenmaster (11).

Dr Jon Copley, scientific advisor to BBC’s Blue Planet series and the first British aquanaut to dive to a depth of five kilometres, will talk about his work (11).

Bestselling novelists Jenny Colgan and Lucy Diamond will chat with host Peter Guttridge as guests savour their free

Crofts chocolate hearts (13).

Peter will discuss time and place in fiction with novelists Tessa Hadley and Sadie Jones (11). Sadie will also be a lunch guest at Wykeham Abbey.

Festival patron Helen Boaden, former head of BBC radio, will host several events.

They include one with TV scriptwriter Gwyneth Hughes, who will speak about her popular Vanity Fair adaptation, focusing on its cast of colourful characters (13).

Sport comes in the shape of former England cricket captain Mike Brearley, which is a coup for our cricketing town (13).

Festival favourite Alan Johnson returns to the festival with his new music memoir, In My Life.

Alan, whose life has always had a soundtrack, will transport his audience back to a world of coffee shops and dance halls, with jukeboxes playing lingering love songs and heartbreak ballads (13). Alan will also appear on the papers panel on the Sunday morning.

Another author returning to the festival is world-famous heart surgeon Professor Steve Westaby, whose second memoir The Knife’s Edge, will

be published at about the same time (12).

Festival director Heather French says: “I can’t wait to meet such an eclectic mix of people. I’m particularly interested to meet Professor Angela Gallop whose contribution to pioneering forensic science has been phenomenal” (14).

“I’ve just finished reading Jim Buttress’s book about his life in horticulture and his time at the royal parks, which made me laugh out loud. As a judge on TV’s The Big Allotment Challenge, he was a big hit” (14).

On 12 April, crime critic Barry Forshaw will host talks with prizewinning crime writer Belinda Bauer and acclaimed biographer Claire Harman; and Lynne Truss, who will introduce her new crime novel A Shot in the Dark.

Most talks will be at the library, although many will be held elsewhere. Professor Kate Williams, a historian and broadcaster, will share gems from her new book, Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary Queen of Scots, in between lunch courses at the Palm

Court Hotel (13).

Historian Simon Heffer, a Fleet Street journalist for 30 years, will talk about his latest work, The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914, at a new festival venue, St Martin’s Church (14).

At least two events have already sold out: globetrotter Michael Palin’s talk about his book Erebus, a powerful tale of polar exploration, at the Spa Theatre; and a talk at the lighthouse by building conservationist Tom Nancollas.

Brochures and tickets are available at Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Website: www. booksbythebeach.co.uk. * A book sale timed to coincide with Books by the Beach will raise funds for the Scarborough branch of Amnesty International. It will be held at Woodend on 13 April, from 10am-5pm. Many of the books will come from Amnesty supporter Leslie Stones’ shop Bookshelf, which is turning into an art gallery.

A taste of paradise

& C U LT U R E Eliza Carthy

FOOD REVIEW: EASTERN PARADISE BY JASON CHINNIAN I WANTED to go for the Duck option on the menu but Abser Nurul, the owner, suggested a more authentic Indian dish: Desi Lamb [[£9.95] accompanied with Keema Basmati Rice [£2.70] and a Tandoori Roti [£2.00]. He kindly asked what strength I would like it to which I answered, “hot but with plenty of flavour”.

It did not take long for the food to arrive and “Wow” what presentation. The Desi Lamb was on a stylish rectangular

plate beautifully laid out with lots of vibrant colours, reds and greens and plenty, of what looked like, a spicy sauce.

There were Red Onions, sliced Tomatoes and cool Cucumbers, segments of whole Garlic, Green Chillies all topped with chopped Coriander.

I did wonder if all this stunning presentation was to mask what could be a small amount of meat. But I was wrong. Underneath all this presentation I was pleased to

find plenty of meat.

The rice was colourful with the added mince meat as standard in a Keema Rice. The Tandoori Roti was large, lightly cooked but not what I had expected.

I tucked in and was hit with a spoonful of hot flavoursome curry with soft tender lamb.

I could really taste the Green Chillies cut through and add that much-loved bite.

The flavour is what I would describe as traditional home cooked Indian cuisine. The spice is not overpowering but adds to the flavour of the lamb making it even more tasty, but I cannot complement that bite enough. It really reminds of my

Mother’s cooking. The rice and roti complemented the dish but there was so much curry that I only had a couple of bites of the bread. I would have preferred more rice in hindsight.

So, for a taste of Paradise I thoroughly recommend trying one of the oldest and most established curry houses in Scarborough. The food is authentic, full of flavour and well-priced, all served by friendly and knowledgeable local staff. You will find them on 5 St Helen’s Square, Scarborough YO11 1EU Tel: 01723 375227. They are open 7 days a week and also offer home delivery.

DROP-IN EVENT INSPIRES YOUNG SCIENTISTS OF THE FUTURE YOUNG people inspected fossils, made music, mastered Morse code and learnt computer code when Scarborough library celebrated British Science Week with a free drop-in event.

Hidden Horizons took a fascinating collection of ancient fossils for youngsters to pore over.

Will Watts of the local scienceeducation company explained

Toby Simpson-Jackson, 12, makes music with fruit, with the help of outreach librarian Angela Kale

ammonites and other Jurassic fossils to visitors.

Self-confessed dinosaur obsessive Sasha Scrymgeour, 11, couldn’t get enough of the replica skull of an Allosaurus, a carnivorous beast which roamed the world about 165m years ago.

Half a dozen bananas and several tangerines were wired up to circuit boards and a computer to show how electricity and conduction work. A floor piano illustrated the same principle.

Supported by the Essential Life Skills fund, the library has been working with local environmental charity Invisible Dust on the ECOde project, which runs until July.

Participants learn computer coding using programmes such as Scratch and Sonic Pi. The ECOde group, whose members are aged between eight and 13, has been capturing the sounds

Liana Borg-Herring, 10, and Sasha Scrymgeour, 11, peer through a replica Allosaurus skull (to order photos ring 353597)

of the sea, bird song in parks and underwater noises using hydrophones – microphones that record sound in water. A live streambox relayed sounds from the roof of the library.

The project’s sound artist, Rob Mackay, said: “The ECOde project is a great idea for getting kids to become more aware of their environment and changes in it through coding and technology.

Working with sound and listening to

the sounds of Scarborough has allowed participants to gain a wider awareness of the environment of the area, simply by listening to the soundscape”.

Youngsters also learned Morse code on a Microbit transmitter, played the BBC Microbits frustration games, used a Victorian telephone made with paper cups and string, built a neuron out of pipe cleaners and investigated Matilda’s magic flying newt.

SPRING WILDLIFE WEEKEND ON BANK-HOLIDAY WEEKEND

by Dave Barry A THREE-DAY spring wildlife weekend is to be held in Flamborough, Filey and Hunmanby Gap on the bankholiday weekend of 4-6 May. It will feature wildlife walks, puffin watches, bird-ringing, seashore safaris and a mothsand-bats event. Everything except parking is free.

It’s being organised by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT)

in conjunction with other wildlife trusts, the RSPB, the Yorkshire Naturalists Union, Flamborough Head Observatory, Filey Bird Observatory and Group, the East Yorkshire Bat Group and the Yorkshire branch of Butterfly Conservation.

The 22 sessions, all led by wildlife experts, will be centred on the YWT’s Living Seas Centre (LSC) and the RSPB’s

visitor centre at Flamborough Head, with various activities elsewhere. The other locations include Filey Country Park, Hunmanby Gap, Filey Dams and Thornwick pools.

Some of the events will have an early start and some are in the evening. For example, on 5 May, Mark Pearson will celebrate international dawn chorus day at Filey Dams reserve at 4.45am; and Geoff Wilson of the

Bat Group will lead a bat walk with moth trapping starting at the LSC at 9pm.

All events are weather permitting and late changes may occur. Booking is essential for many events. Check the websites www.fbo.org.uk or www.fbog.co.uk from 7pm the evening before to ensure the event is going ahead.

A full schedule of activities can be found at www.fbog.co.uk.

Eliza Carthy to play in Hackness ELIZA Carthy, winner of seven BBC folk music awards, will perform at Hackness Grange Hotel on 12 April.

The Scarborough-born singer

and fiddler is the daughter of folk musicians Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson.

For tickets, ring 882421 or email Hacknessmusiclive@ gmail.com.

Tales of maritime deception and bourgeois bubbles THE tragic story of an amateur sailor’s disastrous attempt to win a round-the-world yacht race in 1968/69 is told in Scarborough Film Society’s next offering.

The Mercy stars Colin Firth, who subtly portrays Donald Crowhurst’s misguided notions and descent into delusional despair.

Crowhurst encountered difficulty early in the voyage and secretly abandoned the race while reporting false positions, in an attempt to appear to complete a circumnavigation without circling the world. Evidence found after his disappearance suggests that this attempt ended in mental breakdown, possible insanity and suicide (1 Apr, 12A, 112 mins, 2018).

A fortnight later, the society’s final film of its 2018/19 season is Happy End, a French film directed by Michael Haneke.

Colin Firth in The Mercy

It stars Isabelle Huppert and Jean-Louis Trintignant, who played daughter and father in Haneke’s 2012 film Amour.

An upper-class family living in a bourgeois bubble in Calais deals with a series of imploding domestic setbacks, oblivious to human misery in nearby refugee camps (15 Apr, 15, 107 mins, 2017).

Films are shown at St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road on Monday evenings. They start at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £5.

End of lunchtime concerts AFTER a quarter of a century, the weekly lunchtime concerts at Scarborough library are drawing to a close.

Launched by Maria and the late Vincent Billington, the concerts end with two in April.

On 11 April, as part of Books by the Beach, contralto Val Parker and pianist Tim Tozer will present the Kathleen Ferrier story, written by Vincent and narrated by Maria.

On 18 April, the series swansong looks west with a programme centred on the Emerald Isle.

It will feature soprano Sue

Lindley, tenor John Gill, Phillip Mindenhall on violin and vocals, Frances Rock on piano and vocals, Howard Beaumont on piano and organ and Brenda Mindenhall on piano. Phillip and Brenda will narrate.

After the last concert, presentations will be made to Maria and to pianist Frank James, who played at many of the concerts over the years.

Unfortunately, Frank was on the verge of retirement when he broke four fingers in an accident at home.

US trio lined up for Woodend

THREE American performers are playing at Woodend in April.

Kentucky-based Brigid Kaelin and Steve Cooley pay their first visit to Scarborough on 19 April.

It’s going to be a stripped-back

acoustic show with Brigid on accordion and musical saw and Grammy-nominated Steve on banjo.

Promoter Chris Lee says Brigid has shared stages with Elvis Costello and is an exceptionally talented singer and songwriter;

Steve was once a member of the Dillards bluegrass act.

On 20 April, Nashville-based Kyshona Armstrong returns to Woodend, having delivered what Chris describes as “a powerhouse performance of soul, gospel and blues” last

year.

“She’s a wonderful, charismatic performer with a riveting stage presence”, he adds.

Both events start at 7.30pm.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE All the latest from Scarborough Rugby HAVING slipped to a 7-25 defeat at home to Pocklington promotion-chasing Scarborough RUFC had to cool their heels for a couple of weeks before they next saw action in NORTH ONE EAST against Driffield in an away match on the 2nd of March.

Tom Hicks and skipper Matty Jones who were both sent off against Pocklington were in the Seasiders’ line-up; Hicks’s sending off for two yellow cards was deemed to be sufficient punishment by the disciplinary committee and Jones was suspended for one week which was a blank Saturday.

A big turnout at Driffield’s Kelleythorpe ground saw the game kick-off in mild, windy conditions and Scarborough raced to a 19-7 half-time lead thanks to tries from Ben Martin, Jonty Holloway and Jimmy Perrett, two of which were converted by fly-half Tom

Ratcliffe.

The Woldsmen made a positive start to the second half with a try from from right-wing Joseph Robinson in the 47th minute converted by Watts to reduce the arrears at 19-14 and struck once more through Robinson to level the scores at 19-19 three minutes later.

Ratcliffe and Watts exchanged penalties in the 56th and 62nd minutes respectively and a battle royal ensued in the fourth quarter with scores tied at 22-22. A nail-biting final period looked like ending in a draw before wingman Manning Smith popped up to clinch a 27-22 Scarborough win with an injury-time try from the final play of the game.

Next up for Coach Simon Smith’s charges was the visit of bottom club Consett to Silver Royd.

Scarborough had beaten the Geordies 3114 on the road in November

w

but they had rallied since then and had beaten fifth placed Bradford & Bingley 41-26 the previous week.

However, the Seasiders turned in a vintage performance to blow away the visitors’ challenge; having taken an early 7-0 lead through a Ben Martin try, they led 28-5 at the break thanks to touchdowns from Aaron Wilson, Sam Dawson and skipper Matty Jones. Consett stuck immediately after the break with a converted try but tries from Jimmy Perrett, Euan Govier and Billy Parker sealed the bonus-point win; fly half Tom Ratcliffe kicked all seven conversions.

Following a week’s break from action over the weekend of the 16th and 17th of March the Seasiders faced their biggest challenge in an away game against third placed Morley on the road on the 23rd. The Leeds-based outfit are the form

team in the league and were on a ten game winning streak.

Although Scarborough had beaten them 50-17 at Silver Royd in November, Morley had strengthened their squad and were an entirely different prospect.

On a spring-like day at their Scratcherd Lane HQ, Morley raced to a 26-0 lead, earning a bonus-point in less than 15 minutes to leave the visitors shell-shocked and wondering what had just happened!

However they pulled themselves together and tries from winger Matty Young and fullback Jimmy Perrett around the half hour saw the teams reach the break with Morley 29-10 ahead having kicked a penalty late in the half.

Scarborough having shaken off the shock of Morley’s earlier ‘blitzkrieg’ set about trying to ‘do a Scotland’ and almost succeeded; a second try from

Perrett plus touchdowns from Ben Martin and man-of-thematch Luke Brown saw them get to within eight points of their opponents; however Morley bagged a second half try and a couple of penalties for a 39-31 win. Scarborough forward Cade Robinson was sent off in the 60th minute leaving his side a man short for a quarter of the game. However the Seasiders had earned

themselves a bonus point for scoring five tries and are still two points ahead of Morley in the fight for a play-off place with three games to go.

Those three game are against Percy Park tomorrow at Silver Royd, Malton & Norton at the Gannock next week and Bradford & Bingley in the last game of the season on the 13th of April; it’s going down to the wire!

Kingfishers bring six medals home AN INTREPID group of Scarborough swimmers brought home an amazing haul of medals, final places and personal bests from Leeds and Sheffield pools.

Competing against swimmers from all over Yorkshire in 44 races, four Kingfishers won an impressive two gold, one silver

and three bronze medals.

They reached 10 finals in other events and notched up 23 personal bests and northern regional qualifying times.

The golds were won by Tommy Eblet in 1500m and 800m freestyle events for boys aged 12+; Izzy Vasey won the silver in a 50m breaststroke event and

two more finals for girls aged 10-13; Eliza Hammond won a bronze in a 50m backstroke event and another final for girls aged 10-13; David Hope won two bronzes in 50m and 100m backstroke events and another final for boys aged 10-13; while Joe Benson, Grace Fox and Cory Tite achieved numerous

personal bests.

“For a seaside club with much less water time than many of the big city clubs, this highlights the excellent coaching standard that goes into getting these kids to peak condition at just the right time”, commented a Kingfishers spokesperson.

John Fawcett joined the board of Scarborough FC in 1969 and served until 1992, when owner Geoffrey Richmond removed all the sitting directors.

When the current incarnation of Boro was formed in 2007, John became its president and held the title until his retirement at a supporters’ forum at the Flamingo Land stadium.

Club chairman Trevor Bull thanked John for his “outstanding service” to both clubs and presented him with an engraved piece of crystal.

Reminiscing about the highlights of his years on the board, John said that, of all the hundreds of Boro games he had seen, the most memorable was the FA trophy final against Stafford Rangers at Wembley in

1976, when he was chairman.

He recalled memorable cup ties against Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace, when the fixture was shown on Match of the Day; the incredible achievement of becoming the first club ever to be promoted into the football league; the club's first football league match against Wolves; and the game against Monza in an Anglo-Italian tournament when Gordon Banks, the legendary England goalkeeper, played for Boro. “The Italians at first refused to play when they saw his name on the team sheet”, he recalled.

John has strong memories of the tragic death of the brilliant young winger Tony Aveyard, and the way the town came to a virtual standstill for his funeral.

John devised the club motto, No Battle, No Victory, which was embodied into the new crest of the former club. He said he was

John Fawcett with the engraved crystal he was given after 50 years supporting Boro (to order photos ring 353597) delighted that the new club had adopted it when it was formed and that the motto had been inscribed on the wall of the bar area at the stadium.

John sat down to a standing ovation from the several hundred fans present.

A TIMING mistake 15 years ago led to six England caps - and counting.

Jack Bird was seven when his nanna took him to see Finding Nemo at the Hollywood Plaza cinema in Scarborough.

Bernice Bird got the time wrong and they arrived an hour early. So they popped into the nearby indoor bowls centre for something to eat.

A few games were in play and young Jack was fascinated. “I got interested and learnt there was under-18s coaching every Sunday morning, from 10-12”, he says.

“I’ve been playing ever since. I started coming every weekend with my sister Rosie and our cousins James and William”.

Jack joined Scarborough Indoor Bowls Club and steadily improved his game, playing in club and county leagues before

advancing to national level.

He first played for England aged 17 and now has six caps with the national under-25s side.

Last year was a good year: Jack won the England singles final.

He beat Paul Foster of Scotland who has been the world singles champion five times and was awarded an MBE for services to bowls.

Jack won the British Isles championships in Chelmsford in Essex early in March, after five days of play.

“He’s a natural”, says proud nanna Bernice.

Jack, 22, also plays crown green bowls outdoors, but not to the same level.

He is a mechanic, working with his dad Adrian at Alga Garage on Alga Terrace on the South Cliff. He lives in Priory Place, Osgodby.

Being self-employed is the only way he can get time off to take part in tournaments.

He is looking for sponsors to help with hotel bills, travel expenses, etc. If you would like to sponsor Jack, ring 07725 730874.

Sporting achievers honoured at awards ceremony THE BOROUGH’S leading sporting achievers were honoured at an annual sport awards ceremony at Scarborough Spa. Desapline Martial Arts had a great night, winning the Mavis Clayton memorial trophy, both under-11 awards (Lola DuncanFewster and Jayden Barker) and the awards for coach of the year (Andy Desa) and the top U18s playing team.

Scarborough Gymnastics Academy won the awards for top primary U11s team and the U14 and U18 junior sports boys (Jacob Bland and Joseph Fishburn).

The inclusive sport award went to Yammi Lighvani of Bowls ‘n’ Buggies, which won the award for top community sports club.

Other awards went to Tony Howard (service to sport), John Wood of Eastfield Juniors FC (sports volunteer of the year),

Most of the awards were presented by former Great Britain, Commonwealth and Olympic games swimmer James Kirton, who talked to nominees about involvement in high-level sport.

The event is organised on behalf of Scarborough & District Sports Council by Scarborough

Council’s sport development manager Matt Hewison.

He said: “We received a high number of nominations and each category was really competitive.

Close bowls final in Eastfield THE FINAL of the drawn-pairs merit at Eastfield Bowling Club was as close as it gets.

Alan Landers and Geoff Price beat Billy Holdsworth and Steve Shannon by 21-19.

“It was a very close game between

four good bowlers”, commented the host club’s competition secretary, David Wicks.

In the semi-finals, Alan and Geoff beat John Burton and Ian Hadden by 21-16; Billy and Steve beat Ray Leeman and Barry Gosling by 21-11.

“The merit was played in sunny but windy weather”, said David. “Sixty bowlers took part and we had good bowling all day”.

Les Craggs kept the merit running smoothly and the women of the host club helped with food, drinks

and a raffle. The sponsor was Carpet Station of Filey.

Eastfield’s next merit will be on 14 April.

Tour de Yorkshire trophies show up at bike bank THE TOUR de Yorkshire winners’ trophies showed up at a Scarborough bike bank which is helping change lives through cycling.

The trophies were being taken around various places involved with the big race, which is in Scarborough on 4 May. They put in an appearance at the Yorkshire Bank Bike Library, housed in a former council depot in Dean Road, best known as a Victorian prison.

The library accepts donations of unwanted bikes, which are repaired and given to people in need of a bicycle.

People who have been helped by the library include Josh, who was referred to the scheme when he was identified as in need of support. He was looking after his mother and three brothers at the time and was socially isolated and frustrated.

Part of the help he was offered included a bike from the bike

bank. This, along with other support, helped give him a sense of independence as well as understanding that people are willing to invest in him and support him.

Bike-library manager Rob Brown said he and other volunteers had helped many people enjoy the independence of cycling, and that they were keen to pass on their enjoyment of cycling for the benefit of the local community. Rob said: “The bike library gives us an opportunity to take that love of cycling and pass it on to other people who aren’t in a position to go out and buy a bike. It gives them a chance to cycle and to enjoy what we have gained over a lifetime of cycling”.

Later the same day, the trophies were taken to the Spirit of Yorkshire distillery near Hunmanby. Cycling enthusiasts and others had their pictures taken with the trophies against

the backdrop of the copper stills and oak whisky casks. The distillery is creating Yorkshire’s first single malt whisky, using locally and sustainably produced barley and spring water from the family farm.

Scarborough is one of three stage finishes in North Yorkshire during this year’s race. The town will host the finish of the third stage of the men’s race and stage two of the women’s race on 4 May. The riders will start in Bridlington, before cycling through Hunmanby, the North York moors, Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby before a sprint finish along Scarborough seafront.

Janet Deacon, Scarborough Council’s tourism and corporate marketing manager and the area director for Welcome to Yorkshire, said displaying the trophies is “a great way to create excitement among local communities of all ages ahead of the race in May”.

Club bowled over after green fixed MEMBERS of a bowling club can look forward to a smooth run of fortune in future after essential maintenance work to its green.

The work at Scalby and Newby Bowling Club is to be done with the help of £650 from the locality budget of Cty Cllr Derek Bastiman, who

represents Scalby and the Coast.

The project will level the edges of the bowling green, re-turf and re-seed it and replace supporting boards. A new water heater will be installed.

Locality budgets allow the 72 county councillors to respond to local needs and requests by
