INSIDE THIS MONTH…
Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A YOuNG girl from the Scarborough area is facing a brighter future thanks to her great grandma and some generous fundraisers. five-year-old Kyra-Jae Montgomery almost died at just three months old when her father shook and threw her to the floor in an act of horrendous violence. Circumstances saw Kyra left disabled from the event and with nowhere to live when she came out of hospital, so great grandma Jackie Head stepped in. Jackie moved from their home near Goole to live in Irton, just outside Scarborough and she brought both Kyra and her sister lily Mae with her. Jackie, 59, said: “I had to do something to make sure Kyra and her sister had the best for them. I gave up work and moved here and it is the best thing that could have happened. “It was difficult to deal with what happened but Kyra is now a very happy little girl, and despite her disability she is a joy and has a wonderful time at home and at Seamer School.” And the community in Irton and Seamer have been showing their support with lots of fundraising efforts. From left, sister Lily, Kyra-Jae and great local teenager Hannah Philipson did a fun run from grandma Jackie at their home in Irton, as Kyra Scarborough to Wykeham and raised over £1,000 towards shows off her special trike a special trike for Kyra. And there has also been support from the likes of The friends of Irton group, lindsey's Swimming Academy, Seamer fisheries, The Mayfield and more. In December Wonkey McDonky are holding a charity bake-off competition in aid of supporting Kyra. More on page 2.

Good will gesture pays off for local hospice
Celebrating a successful Make a Will Week are, left to right, Paul Midgley from Longstaff and Midgley, Alison Jeffels and Dawn Plant from Pinkney Grunwells, and Lorraine Burnett from Thorpe and Co with Saint Catherine’s Chief Executive Mike Wilkerson
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A SuCCESSful appeal to support Saint Catherine’s in the year it celebrates 30 years of care has raised more than £16,000. firms of solicitors over a huge area took part in Make a Will Week when they drew up simple wills free of charge in return for a donation to the hospice. The final total raised was £16,665 for patient care. Hospice fundraiser Debbie Kay said they were delighted that the annual appeal had
raised so much during Saint Catherine’s special year. “We’re so grateful to the solicitors who support this appeal and helped us raise such a fantastic sum to support the families who need us,” she said. Alison Jeffels, from Pinkney Grunwells, said they had been happy to help. “It gives us a real sense of achievement to see how much has been raised to help a local charity,” she said. Taking part in the local area were Pinkney Grunwells in Scarborough and Hunmanby; Thorpe and Co in Scarborough and filey; and in Scarborough longstaff and Midgley, and Tubbs and Co. Make a Will Week will be held again next year from 18 April. Money donated through legacies also forms a vital part of fundraising for Saint Catherine’s. The generosity of people who leave money to the hospice in their wills helps the hospice to provide services over a wide area. The initial launch of the new Hospice at Home service in Scarborough and filey was only possible thanks to people who left money to Saint Catherine’s. Details of how to leave a gift to the hospice are available from the fundraising team on (01723) 378406.

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
THE Bee and Butterfly Garden in Scalby Village has been causing a real buzz. The attractive garden was created back in May by members of Newby & Scalby in Bloom and has proved popular for both locals and visitors to the area.
Rob Kendall, of Newby & Scalby in Bloom, said: “We are delighted with the garden and how well it has been received. Both locals and visitors have enjoyed sitting in the area and enjoying the garden while it has also served a very important factor for the environment. “The type of plants we have used have attracted bees and butterflies and that is very important.” Among those plants to enjoy are lavenders, sedum, verbenas, rebecins and much more. Rob added: “We started small with the garden but it has grown over the past few months. The intention is to keep improving it in the future so that it becomes a real focal point of the village.” The Bee and Butterfly Garden is situated at Church Becks in Scalby Village. n To order this or any other print of pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review, email: pete@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or call 07815290457.

The Archbishop of York knows how to work a crowd. In Scarborough to open the Salt charity shop, Dr John Sentamu gladhanded everyone present with a beaming, gaptoothed smile and a quick quip. A volunteer called Ted was renamed father Ted and a little girl with a big grin Mark Hunter was given special attention. Angel Sutton, whose feet have been amputated due to a rare genetic condition, is one of many Salt beneficiaries, receiving £1,000 towards the cost of prostheses. The archbishop wrapped his arm around her, took her outside and got her to help him cut the blue ribbon. Sporting a purple cassock, crozier and colourful pectoral cross, the archbishop
Snap up a calendar and support Ellie’s Fund Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
EllIE'S fund Brain Tumour Trust have launched a fundraising calendar for 2016 and it is available now. The calendar features stunning images taken by local photographer Mark Hunter, owner of Tower Estates on falsgrave in Scarborough. Mark said: “I have been a keen photographer for many years and also produced a calendar for the past several. “I sold a few before but thought I could maybe do something more with them. “We have some connections with Ellie's fund through family friends and decided it would be a great way to help raise some more funds for them by selling the calendars on their behalf. “I have really enjoyed getting out and taking the pictures because there are so many beautiful scenes to take in this area. “Hopefully they will sell quite well and help what is a great charity group doing excellent work in the memory of a special girl.” The calendars are priced £5 and are available from: Tower Estates, falsgrave.

radiated warmth, compassion and humour as he circulated among volunteers and clerics. Dr Sentamu became a British citizen after fleeing uganda, where he was born 66 years ago. He had been jailed and tortured after speaking out against Idi Amin’s despotic regime. He said he was “kicked around like a football and beaten terribly” while in prison. A former judge in uganda, he abandoned the legal profession to study Anglican theology in the uK. He was ordained in 1979 and became the 97th Archbishop of York in 2005. Salt, which stands for Scarborough and locals Together, is a registered charity formed in 2012 to help the local community. It accepts donations of clothing, books, bric a brac, DVDs and small items of furniture, which it sells in its shop in falsgrave. Over £31,000 has been given back to the local community from profits made by the shop, which began in smaller premises over the road. It has made many donations to church charities. Trustee Rosemary forrest said: “We asked the archbishop’s office six months ago when we moved into the new shop if he could come but have had to wait until he was available. “We were delighted that such a high profile figure, known for his work in the community, would find time in his busy schedule to visit us and we feel very honoured.”

Green-fingered Keith Council search for new loves his allotment development group
Scarborough Harbour by Pete Spence

COME rain or shine, Keith Gibson is on his allotment most days. “I’m up here in the wind, rain and snow – everything”, says Keith, whose patch boasts a grand view of Scarborough and the sea. “It breaks my day up.” Nestling just below Jacob’s Mount, Keith’s garden is pretty large, measuring about 140 x 40 ft. Keith grows a broad range of fruit and vegetables - much of which he gives away as he and his partner couldn’t possibly eat it all - and flowers. Along with 110 neighbouring plots, Keith’s is owned by the council, which sublets them to Sandybed Allotments Association. Keith was recently awarded a couple of cups: the association’s Don Dykes trophy for the best allotment and Scarborough in Bloom’s Muck & Magic trophy for the most productive vegetable garden. The judges descended in July, when Keith’s allotment was at its most bountiful
and colourful. Keith lives in Colombus Ravine and frequently collects seaweed from the north-bay beach to scatter on his patch. Seaweed breaks down quickly and is rich in vital nutrients. The seaweed is supplemented by Keith’s home-grown compost and by cow-muck, a trailer-load of which is delivered once a year by friendly local farmer Pete flinton. Keith, 64, worked as a welder at Plaxton and Wards until he retired 12 years ago. He began helping a friend at Sandybed and put his name on a waiting list for an allotment. An enthusiastic amateur, he admits he didn’t know what he was doing to start with. But he was keen to learn and fellow allotmenteers were equally keen to help. “I’d like to thank Anne Artley, Alan Hewitt and John Carter, who've helped me a lot over the years,” he says. “Anne is a diamond; she's brilliant for this association.”

SCARBOROuGH-based Richardsons Cycle club ran their Autumn off road mountain bike event at filey Country Park. There was an excellent turn out of over 40 young riders and 24 adults and youths for a blast around a specially designed circuit at the park. The young riders under-12 were competing in the British Cycling Go Ride series of events the club have been running this year and the older riders and adults were testing themselves on an energy zapping grass and tarmac circuit that had
cyclocross style dismount features. The morning was the warmest November morning ever on filey Brigg and the event was supported by filey Tourism Association, Paul Raper joinery and lanes Roofing. Event organiser Bryden Simpson said: “We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made this event possible. local support from the council and Sue's country park cafe were also crucial and to see so many out on bikes having fun and being active was great!”
SCARBOROuGH Borough Council is looking to recruit three independent people to its newly formed Ports Development Group, which will focus on the strategic development of the borough’s three ports: Whitby Harbour, Scarborough Harbour and filey Coble landing. The group is being established to provide strategic support, advice and guidance to the council’s Cabinet Member for Harbours, Assets, Coast and flood Protection, Cllr Mike Cockerill. It will assist with the development of a Strategic Plan for the ports, which will include contributing to reports and recommendations to the council’s Cabinet. The group will also look at the promotion and regeneration of the ports, including how best to win new business and how the ports can benefit stakeholders and the wider coastal community. The group will consist of seven members: three independent people, three borough
councillors and Cllr Mike Cockerill as Chairman. The group will be supported by one of the council’s directors, its Harbourmaster and Regeneration Project Development Manager. Cllr Mike Cockerill, Cabinet Member for Harbours, Assets, Coast and flood Protection said: “We welcome applications from anyone who feels they could add value to our new strategic approach for developing the borough’s ports. The group’s role will be strictly advisory with no involvement in the day to day operational management of the ports. We therefore need people with vision that can look at the bigger picture and, through strategic development, help us shape the future of our ports.” Anyone interested in the role can find out more information about how to apply at: scarborough.gov.uk/pdgvacancies The closing date for applications is Sunday 6 December.

The in-store harvest festival at Tesco Westwood in Scarborough
Dear Editor
Dear Editor
I WOulD like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who got involved with the in-store harvest festival at Tesco, Westwood. The salvation army raised £450 while customers and staff donated eight large trays of food and Tesco also donated £100 of produce. I was trying to think up a way to help and decided people don't really go to church as they once did so decided to bring the church to the people. The council loaned us a wheely bin and we asked customers to donate food items, and on the day we played band music in store and the salvation army members collected the money. We also had some young people in who bag packed for us. We had lots of great feedback from customers who said it took them back to their school days seeing the table of food set out. Many didn't realise Scarborough had homeless people who will benefit from the collection.
I cannot stress enough how hard the friends of falsgrave Park worked to set up all the spooky diversions in the trees and then provide the food, drink and side Kind regards shows for our Halloween fun Night. Behind the scenes there were several workshops beforehand to make the spiders, Tesco Community Champion (Scarborough) their webs and other spooky sights, and I have to say I was very impressed if not actually terrified with the quality and ingenuity of the results. I should also like to thank the council staff at Manor Road Nurseries for all their invaluable help; the local traders who displayed our posters; and especially Pattisons of falsgrave for their sponsorship. This enabled us to hold a pumpkin carving workshop for children two days before the event and this year it attracted more carvers than ever before. Well done to everyone involved.

A COMPETITION aimed at persuading young people to vote in elections has been won by a 14-year-old. Entrants were invited to design a birthday card to send to teenagers on their 18th birthday. Josh Weetman, who attends Scalby School, wanted to design something with a cross to represent the mark on a ballot paper. He came up with the idea for his winning design while playing on his Xbox. Joshua knew the voting age was 18 and wanted to appeal to that age group. The competition was run by Scarborough Council. Josh won a £25 One4All gift card which can be spent in 21,000 outlets
nationwide and online. Elections manager Kerry Russett said: “The winning designs will be used on birthday cards which will be sent to 18-year-olds during the forthcoming year to congratulate them on becoming an adult and to encourage them to take up their legal right to vote in elections. “We’ve had some fantastic designs submitted in the past and couldn’t wait to see what innovative entries we would receive for this year’s competition. There were no strict rules on what the designs should illustrate but of course they had to be themed around voting and needed to appeal to young people.” The council has been sending 18th birthday cards and a guide to voting to young people who are included on the electoral register since 2001.

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IT was all glitz and glam when a special charity fashion show was held at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in aid of the Mayoress' Community fund. Each year the group fundraises throughout the term of the current Mayoress which is presently Ros fox. She joined forces with Bonmarche of Scarborough who supplied the models and the clothing items for the fashion show which took place in the Bistro at the SJT. Ros said: “It was a smashing event and we all had a great time. We raised £270 on the day which was terrific, and I would like to thank everyone who took part. “I am also the chair of Yorkshire Coast Homes too and we are involved with supplying apprentice opportunities at the SJT, so it was good that they were involved too.” The next charity event for the Mayoress' Community fund is a race night at The Commercial Pub on falsgrave on friday November 27 from 7.30pm. This is followed by a Christmas fayre at the Town Hall on Thursday December 3 from 2pm. All are welcome to attend. Ros added: “We will receive applications for the fundraising throughout the year and then decide which small local charities get the funds. It is nice to support the smaller charities who work ever so hard.”

A whip-round at a school reunion raised £220 for Scarborough RNlI. Some ex-pupils of friarage School hadn’t seen each other for 60 years. Others, like Shirley Rowley, Irene Watson (nee Wake) and Sandra Dean, are good pals, living in the close-knit community of the old town. Along with reunion organiser Sam Greetham, they were born in 1943 and started in the same nursery class in 1946. Another 30 people attended the reunion, at the Palm Court Hotel on 21 October. It was the first but may not be the last. “It was a gathering of the clan,” said Sam.

SAINT Catherine’s Christmas fair raised a record-breaking £6,709 as supporters turned out to celebrate 30 years of care. The hospice was packed for three hours as people poured in to buy from hospice and independent stalls. The cake stall took almost £1,000 and the raffle alone made nearly £600. Hospice fundraiser Penny Campbell said they were stunned by how many people had turned out on a wet morning to support the hospice. “Our supporters have got behind everything we have done so far to mark our special year and we are so grateful,”
she said. “We are absolutely delighted by the amount raised and want to thank everyone, particularly our fabulous volunteers, for all their hard work.” The amount raised beat all previous records by £800 as people went along to start their Christmas shopping and listen to Christmas songs by the children of Newby and Scalby School. The hospice’s next big event is the Santa Dash and Reindeer Run along filey seafront on Sunday 13 December. n To register, call the hospice on (01723) 378406 or visit its website at www. stcatherineshospice-nyorks.org.
Roger Burnett and Sheila Johnson host the inaugural Scarborough Garden Club meeting

SCARBOROuGH Garden Club held its first meeting recently when over 70 people attended to hear of plans for future meetings. Roger Burnett, who is supporting this new gardening group was delighted, and a little overwhelmed, with such a large turnout at St Columba Church on Dean Road.
"It was clear to us from a number of conversations that Scarborough needs a garden club", he explained, "but there are very few such opportunities without travelling quite a distance, so we decided to form a group for ourselves." The Garden Club is an informal and fun group for anyone who loves gardening, wants to listen to interesting speakers and is keen to meet with like minded, green fingered friends. Everyone is welcome. Because of the overwhelming response the next meeting will be held at Ebenezer Church Hall on Columbus Ravine on Monday 7th December beginning at 7pm. Radio Humbersides roving gardener Doug Stewart will be entertaining the audience with a talk entitled 'The Way We Were' - a light hearted and humorous look at gardening in times gone by. Meeting dates have been set for 2016 and club nights will be held on the second Monday of every month, beginning at 7pm, apart from January. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please call Sheila Johnson for further programme details on 07961 966617.

The seasonal visitor had clearly been eating fewer mince pies as he looked much slimmer than usual. Accompanied by a pair of glamorous elves, he hove into view at the harbour entrance, aboard the Skylark fishing boat. He was interviewed by Yokshire Coast Radio presenter Paddy Billington before greeting as many youngsters as he could. Santa and the elves then boarded a vehicle which slowly transported them from the seafront to Boyes Store in Queen Street. The traditional spectacle is organised by the store, where Santa will occupy a grotto on the basement floor until Christmas. Boyes’ Christmas window display has a reindeer theme.Scarborough’s Christmas lights will be switched on in the town centre on Thursday 3 December.

SCARBOROuGH author, Joe Coates, is publishing a new book for Christmas, 'There is Something Special Tonight in Bethlehem'. Joe is well known locally for his North Bay Tales books based on North Bay Railway, though this is not another miniature railway story. using the same book design and format, Joe is retelling the Nativity story, with illustrations to colour in, and he hopes this will be the first of a series of Bible Tales. As a retired primary school teacher, Joe has a lot of experience in story telling in schools and Messy church. He has read his version of the story in previous years at Rocking Carols at the YMCA, and a crib service at Burniston Methodist Church. The tale is told traditionally, focussing on the emotions of those, particularly the shepherds, and Mary and Joseph, the people who were actually there. Joe will be telling the tale in a number of schools during the festive season.

And they are off!
Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
DRIVING Instructors and pupils from Scarborough were part of the hugely successful Children in Need Big learner Relay which has raised £93,000. The fundraiser saw a special money box delivered from the South of England
to the North with driving instructors dropping and delivering all along the way in different towns and cities. The box arrived in Scarborough from Bridlington before nine driving instructors and learners made sure it was delivered safely to Whitby. One of those Scarborough instructors was Colin Simmons. He said: “This is the second time we have been part of this wonderful fundraising event for a great cause. We only had three instructors from the Scarborough area last year and went up to nine this time. Hopefully if we do it again in the future that will increase even more. “It was a great effort from all involved all over the country and the total raised was up over £20,000 from last, year which is fantastic.”

carr drives the The king set to shine audience into fits of on New Year’s Eve laughter Review by Will Baines
JIMMY Carr brought his 'funny Business' tour to the Jimmy Carr Scarborough Spa, providing lots of laughs to a near capacity crowd in the Grand Hall. The 8 Out Of 10 Cats star weaved his way through his act, touching on topics such as Oscar Pistorious and the Malaysian Airways mystery to raise a smile among the crowd. Carr combined this with a number of one-liners to keep the show flowing and the audience guessing throughout. The highlight of the show was how Carr responded to the heckles from the audience during the show, with his quick wit batting down a number of interactions about his tax status with ease. After a short interval Carr answered questions from the audience, once again showing he is quick off the mark and not afraid to push the boundaries in search of a giggle from his crowd. The applause at the end was deserved for an interactive show full of variety and ranging from classic gags to some that were close to the wire, with the overall show keeping my group entertained throughout and feeling that the ticket money was well spent.

There was a great selection of toys which we will try and keep for a while so that more of the children get to enjoy them. Certainly the children that got some toys today were all delighted and it will have done their spirits a world of good.” Matthew Ward, whose young son Oliver was in the hospital added: “We were not expecting you guys to come along with presents so it was a fantastic surprise. Oliver was delighted because he has been quite poorly and only just starting to get a smile back on his face. This definitely helped.”

Wait... there’s two of them!?! think you know who it is that brings you presents on christmas eve? think again. the following decades the celebration of Santa Claus (the Anglicised version) really took off. The 1823 poem 'A Visit from Saint Nicholas' by Clement Clarke Moore (“'Twas the night before Christmas...”) nailed down the idea that it was the saint who brought you presents on Christmas Eve, and also that he used magical reindeer. And because America makes things famous, this is now the Christmas image most of us adhere to. But... So... Santa Claus or father Christmas? What do you call the magical and jolly chap that squeezes down your chimney (or lets himself in with his magic key) once a year? Does it really matter? Well, yes... BECAuSE THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE PEOPlE!!! Well, so history tells us.
immigrants took these traditions to America in the late 18th century, and in
What's in a name?
So no matter what you call him, he's basically the same chap these days. We tweeted big Santy C for his take on all this historical mumbo-jumbo, and to see a copy of his birth certificate (which we assume they had in the third century), but he's yet to get back to us.
The legal Claus
As we all know, Santa Claus' first job was as a saint. Saint Nicholas, as he was then called, came from the third century in Turkey, and was known for his charitable deeds, especially where children are concerned. In the following years Nick became known as the patron saint of children and sailors, and his feast day, 6th December, was considered a lucky day to make big purchases. But when the reformation hit, and the catholic celebration of saints was frowned upon, it was the Dutch and their beloved Sinter Klaas (Saint Nicholas) who continued the tradition of having a party in December in his honour. Dutch
WRiTE To SANTA! All this talk of awesome pressies has got us thinking... do you actually know how to address your letters to Father Christmas? Contrary to what might have heard, tearing up the letter and dropping it into the fireplace doesn’t work (no, that method is used to summon magical floating nannies). You have to write a real address! Once you’ve completed your letter to the big man himself, pop it in an envelope and write...
Father Christmas, Santa’s Grotto, Reindeerland XM4 5HQ ...on it. That is Santa’s actual postage address he has worked out with Royal Mail. BuT... be sure to do so by 6th December so he has time to reply. With billions of children writing him letters each year the busy guy is rushed off his feet.
Roundheads!) as it symbolised debauchery and excess, which the Royalists would use to make their opponents seem austere and no fun. Songs and cartoons were published about people searching for a mythical figure, the embodiment of the holiday, often referred to as Old Christmas or lord Christmas. A large and jolly bearded man became associated with adult celebrations, and it wasn't until the mid-Victorian era when father Christmas became increasingly merged with Santa Claus, that the notion of him giving children gifts was introduced.
Big daddy
father Christmas isn't based on Saint Nicholas. No, sorry fellow Englanders, but to continue our country's great tradition of having to be different and a bit awkward, we went a different way. As we said above, the worship of saints became unpopular after the reformation and this was further encouraged by republican puritans such as Oliver Cromwell. To the Parliamentarians of the 17th century there was no such thing as Christmas (what?!? Bloody
SLEiGH TRACkER 2015 Keen to keep an eye on the big guy on Christmas Eve? We know just the website NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defence Command, not only keeps an eye on aeroplanes, missiles and ufOs (maybe). No, the top brass of the uS military also like to keep tabs on Santa as he zooms around the planet on Christmas Eve. from 1st December go to www.noradsanta.org to see where Santa is, with things really kicking off on the 24th. There are videos of him flying over famous landmarks, as well as all the alerts and info you’ll need to spot him as he passes over your street. If you’re wondering why such a serious organisation as NORAD does this, its all thanks to a typo. In the 1950s a department store in Colorado printed posters inviting children to “call Santa”, but mistakenly put the wrong number. When kids called they actually got through to Colorado Springs’ Continental Air Defence Command and a bunch of confused soldiers. fortunately the guys decided not to disappoint the hundreds of kids who called, and instead gave them data on Santa’s apparent position. The tradition started from there.

D E T H G I R Y P O C THE CHRISTMAS “
But why there, of all the places we could go?” “Aren't you curious?” Jake scratched his nose. “Not bothered. What about the jelly dimension, uncle Dave? Everything is made out of jelly!” Dave flipped up the collar of his coat and pull out The unit from his pocket. “Pah. It's rubbish, trust me.” He tapped in a few short commands before peering down at his young nephew. “Kids these days have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Not like back in my day.” “But you're just 16 years older than me.” “Shut it, Jake. Prepare to experience the real meaning of Christmas...” He thrust The unit forwards and pressed The Button. A ripple of energy shot from the device and splashed like a giant droplet of water against the wall of the living room. Wallpaper, light fittings, and awkward photos of Jake's family were warped and pulled together as the portal slowly opened, blasting the pair with light, heat
the other way. “uncle Dave,” he said, “this place isn't very, well... Christmassy.” A claxon sounded. Red and green lights flashed. Dave span around to Jake, mouth wide open. “I told you not to say...” “You!” Barked a burly elf, matching towards them. “Papers, please!” Jake gulped. “I don't... erm... I mean, I don't have...” “You idiot,” said Dave, as another of the elves marched over to him. “No license,” barked the elf, now handcuffing Jake, “so off to the gingerbread prison with ya!” “Ginger... bread...” stuttered Jake. “It's not as nice as it sounds,” said Dave as they were both led away. he cell was dank and dark. The gingerbread walls were encrusted with mould and as hard as concrete. Distant screams echoed down the corridor beyond the bars which were actually a tangled mess of dud fairy lights. “You can try to entangle them if you want,” said Dave, fiddling with something in his pocket, “but you'll never do it.” “Who is that screaming?” asked Jake. “Probably one of the Easter Bunny's minions. Emperor Christmas is at war with the Easter Dimension.” “Emperor who?” Just then, Jake noticed what his uncle was doing. “Of course, The unit! You can use it to get us out of here!” “Nah,” uttered Dave, holding the portal device up and pressing several buttons on it. “We're right where we need to be. This cell is forty two floors directly beneath the Emperor's throne room. Stand back.” Jake did so, and Dave pointed The unit to the cell's ceiling. He pulled the trigger and a bright green burst of energy shot upwards, burning a large hole through the rotten gingerbread and continuing upwards, floor after floor. Dave watched the energy as it got further and further from them, higher and higher through the building they were in. After a few seconds... “Bingo! Seriously, stand back.” Jake heard another distant cry, but this one got louder and

smiles and hugs.” “Ha, this kid!” laughed Dave. “You think smiles and hugs paid for that Nerf blaster your mum and dad have got you? It's under the tree. I opened it earlier while you were in the toilet. I broke it, soz. Anyway, Christmas...” “Oi!” “...costs money. lots of money. Think this huge palace came free?” He turned to the fat man. “I like what you've done with this dungeon, by the way.” “Thanks,” said Emperor Christmas.” Cost more than an African country. One of the good ones, as well!” “No!” shouted Jake, snatching The unit from his uncle. “This is not Christmas!” “Oi!” “Christmas!” he shouted in retaliation. “Christmas, Christmas, CHRISTMAS!!!” He jabbed several of the buttons and pointed the device at the tangled fairy lights. A portal burst into being. “Come on uncle Dave!” He jumped through and Dave casually followed, winking at the Emperor as he vanished. hristmas Day at Jake's house was different that year. Jake's older sister declared the whole occasion “lame”, especially the part where they had to return all the presents they had bought and give home-made gifts instead. Still, his parents played along, slightly bemused by their son's change of heart. Their Christmas dinner plates were filled with vegetables they had bought from their neighbour's allotment, while the party hats were made from folded newspaper. Afterwards they took a plate of food around to the old lady who lives on her own down the road, and watched the Queen's speech with her on TV. That evening, as his parents were happily settling down to watch The Great Escape, Jake visited his uncle in his flat above the garage, where he'd been the whole day. He found him tinkering with something plastic. “uncle Dave?” Dave didn't turn around from his work bench. “You did that on purpose, didn't you?” asked Jake. “Taking

and a deafening roar. Over the tempest Dave shouted, “...prepare to travel to The Christmas Dimension!” He darted forwards and dived into the swirling red vortex. Jake watched and took a deep breath. It wasn't the first time he had crossed dimensions with his uncle, and it certainly wouldn't be the last (not according to the 60 year old version of himself he once met in Dimension 338), but the sight of the spinning chasm still filled him with dread. But he remembered what his uncle had once told him about fear: “It's just chemicals and electricity in your brain. Your feet can't get scared”. And so, Jake let his feet be brave for him and he started to walk towards the lapping false fires of the portal. Within seconds... he was gone. Merry Chrinkcroz!” declared one of the elves. “All interdimensional travellers this way please, past the gift shop. Minimum one purchase mandatory.” Jake dusted himself off. “What did that guy just say? Merry what?” Dave sighed with annoyance. “Merry Chrinkcroz, obviously. look, I know we call this place the Christ... the...” he coughed, “...dimension, but actually that word is copyrighted and can only be used by license-holding individuals. Which we're not. So don't say it, got it?” Jake nodded and followed as the pair were ushered through the gift shop (he bought a red hat with JINGlE BEllS© ETC embroidered on it) and through a large set of gates. “Right,” declared Dave as they reached a crossroads, “Cracker Canyon is that way, Tinsel Town is down there... no Jake, not that Tinsel Town... and the Crippling Debt Dales are on the other side of High Cholesterol Close .” Jake looked around. Apart from the intimidating elves, the only other people was a tired looking bunch coming

louder, closer and closer, until WHAM! A red object crashed down onto the cell floor. Jake approached the large red blob and was startled when it gave a groan. “What just..?” it rumbled, turning over. Jake saw a dirty grey beard and what looked like a pink pulsating nose. “Jake,” said Dave, “allow me to introduce Emperor Christmas.” “Not you again,” the blob – the Emperor – said, pulling himself to his large feet. He looked like a balloon with a face and beard. Jake had never seen a person so huge and round before, but clearly his uncle had. “Yep, it's me again fatso. Got myself arrested to get close to you. Wanted my nephew to see what you were really like.” Emperor Christmas slowly turned and peered at Jake, foul breath spilling from his matted beard. “But... but this isn't Santa,” said Jake, stepping back. “No way!” “Not what you expected?” grumbled the huge man, glancing up to the hole in the ceiling. And the one above that. And the one above that. Startled elves peered down at them from various floors above. “No,” said Jake. “Santa is kind. And jolly. And doesn't arrest people for saying Christmas.” The big man winced to hear the word said so casually. “It's business, lad. lot of money in Christmas these days. You can't just go around being jolly and festive and not expect a bill at the end of it all. You think jolliness comes cheap?” Jake stood agape. finally he said, “Jolliness is free. You know, if you're jolly and happy and kind. Christmas...” “Oi!” shouted one of the elves watching them from a floor several stories up.” “Christmas...” said Jake, louder, “... is magical and exciting all by itself. It shouldn't cost you anything. Except a few
me to that awful place.” Dave still didn't turn around, merely grumbling something under his breath. “You wanted me to realise what Christmas was truly about. Thanks uncle Dave. Merry Christmas.” Jake turned and left. Dave removed the headphones blasting rock music from his ears. He hoisted Jake's broken Nerf blaster toy, now modified to shoot thunder clouds. “I am awesome,” he declared.

MY LITTLE PONY STYLE & GROOM (£24.99). Favourite
These are the hottest, most fun, most sought-after toys this Christmas. Are any in your letter to Santa?
PIE FACE (£19.99). Great to see a good old fashioned family game listed amongst this year’s most popular Christmas presents... that is if you consider slapping cream in your sister’s face good old fashioned fun. That is basically the aim of Pie Face, a game where everything you need is included with the exception of a can of squirty cream. Load the hand up with cream, twist the handles, and if you’re lucky it won’t slap you in the face.
My Little Pony? Sure Twilight Sparkle has got the leadership qualities, and Rarity has the best taste in clothes, but we all really rave for Rainbow Dash. We mean, she can fly for God’s sake! If you’d love nothing better than styling Rainbow Dash’s hair after she’s completed a quick dash around the globe, this Style & Groom play-set is ideal. Kiddiwinks get a model of RD herself, complete with lovely long rainbow hair, and all the accessories, gems and stickers they could wish for.
LEGO MILLENNIUM FALCON (£129.99). It wouldn’t be Christmas without LEGO either, and this year the kids have been spoiled rotten by all the new Star Wars releases. The most sought-after has to be this whopping model of Han Solo’s spaceship the Millennium Falcon. Be aware it may take your kids slightly longer than Christmas morning to build – it’s made up of over 1300 parts! And look, a teeny tiny Harrison Ford minifigure with grey hair. Good to see Chewbacca hasn’t gone grey though. We wonder what hair dye he uses?
NERF MODULUS (£59.99). There’s usually a Nerf blaster in the top Christmas lists, and it’s no surprise why. We don’t know about you, but after being stuck with our extended family for an entire day, endlessly arguing over the last turkey leg, and bickering about the Queen (maybe she should listen to our speeches for a change!), we can see how shooting them with foam darts would be appealing. This year’s top weapon can be modified with different accessories, to make sure you accurately nail Uncle Peter between the shoulder blades, even as he runs away.
REAL FX RACING (£99.99). Scalextric has always been a big hit with kids, especially at Christmas. We all have fond childhood memories of the sound of those little cars whizzing about the snap-together track. Well erase those memories you dinosaur, because model car racing is smart these days. With Real FX Racing there are no slots as the cars can ‘see’ the track, turning corners by themselves. You can also launch virtual obstacles at your opponents, like oil spills and pit stops, and can even race against cars that aren’t physically there thanks to the car’s artificial intelligence. No, we don’t understand it either. Still, vroom vroom!
Big thank you for hospital support IT was a privilege to be involved with the project involving Boyes and Scarborough Hospital's Children's Ward once again. We did this for the first time last year and the reaction was superb. I would like to thank all the advertisers who have shown their support and messages of good will to the youngsters and also a massive thanks to Boyes and to Radio Scarborough for coming along, handing out the presents and having a chat with staff. This is a time of year where nobody wants to be in hospital and particularly tough for youngsters having operations or suffering from illness. If we can do something to cheer them up then it is worth while. I have to say Boyes have been especially generous again and it is a great thing what they have done. The staff at the hospital are extremely hard working and they also deserve recognition for the wonderful job they do. Once again thanks to everyone involved and hopefully we will be doing this again in a year's time.

Nursery celebrates David’s coastal charity trek a success harvest in style
30 - Scarborough Review, December - Issue 28
By Krystal Starkey
A SCARBOROuGH man who suffers from debilitating arthritis has overcome the odds to walk 26 miles from filey to Robin Hood’s Bay earlier this month to raise more than £550 for a local mental health charity. David Mackenzie from South Cliff took up the challenge after learning about the recent plight of Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind (SWR Mind) which was saved from closure earlier this year and is still in great need of funds. David was inspired to do the walk as one of his close friends has suffered from severe depression and was greatly helped by the charity who supported him during the crisis. He said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my walk and was in good spirits knowing that in a small way I would be helping such a worthwhile charity and that the money I have raised will make such a difference. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me.”
Green Hedges Day Nursery celebrating Harvest
By Krystal Starkey
CHIlDREN at Green Hedges Day Nursery enjoyed celebrating the harvest with a host of activities. They explored wheat ears, seeds, and flour and made their own bread as part of activities. Parents and staff also donated food for the local Rainbow Centre food bank. Carol Morley, Green Hedges manager, said: “As a nursery we like to support local and national causes when we can. It helps our children to feel connected to the wider community and as a result they learn about belonging to Scarborough and the wider world. At the request of a nursery parent we also collected good condition children’s winter shoes to be sent to Syrian refugee children currently in need.” She went on to give details of the nursery’s next main local event, a
Christmas fayre and Open Morning at the nursery on Saturday morning 28th November. “We have decided to raise funds for our local children’s ward at the hospital where they are in need of more headphone sets and DVDs for the children whilst they are in hospital.” Sarah Bambury, Green Hedges deputy manager said: “We have invited Kathy Seabrook to come and run two free family music sessions during the morning, we have a face painter, stalls, refreshments and of course a very special visitor in a red coat!!” Carol Morley added: “The event is open to everybody and we would be delighted to welcome you to our event and show you round our nursery. Please come and support this important local cause. We look forward to seeing you on the day.”
n If you would like to support the charity by holding a fund-raiser, by becoming a volunteer or for more information call Scarborough Whitby and Ryedale Mind on (01723) 588008 or email info@ swrmind.org.uk
Lifeboat at sea for eight hours
The lifeboat, right, with Investor, safely back in the harbour.
Words and photo by Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry
Scarborough lifeboat spent eight hours at sea when a trawler’s engine failed. Investor, a 10m fishing vessel based in Scarborough, was about 30 miles northeast when the coastguard was called and the lifeboat despatched, at 10.30am. The trawler, with two men aboard, was a
few miles off the Breagh gas field. In a moderate sea with the odd rough squall, the stricken trawler was towed back into the harbour, arriving at about 6pm. The inshore lifeboat took a break from its weekly exercise to help berth Investor. * If you see anyone injured or in distress on the coast please dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
Voice Your choice funding returns to Scarborough Damian clears the way for a safer winter
By Krystal Starkey
SCARBOROuGH community groups and organisations can now apply for funding for projects to help empower communities in Scarborough Councillors from Scarborough Borough Council have set £12,500 to be allocated by the successful Voice Your Choice participatory budgeting scheme in partnership with Scarborough urban Area forum. Participatory budgeting is a process where decisions on how public money is spent are made by residents themselves rather than elected officials or officers. The theme for this year’s Voice Your Choice scheme is ‘Empowering Communities’. Groups are invited to submit applications that will address at least one of the following areas:
• CAPACITY BuIlDING - providing people with the confidence, skills and resources. • OPPORTuNITY TO INfluENCE DECISION-MAKING - local people playing a more active role to bring about change in their community. • COMMuNICATION - projects that develop robust channels of communication and dialogue between individuals, groups, decision-makers. • INCREASING PARTICIPATION breaking down barriers to ensure that all members of the community have a chance to participate at a level that they feel comfortable with. The deadline for applications is Monday 25 January 2016. n People wanting more information or to request an application pack should email kerry.lee@scarborough.gov.uk or call 01723 232472.

SCARBOROuGH Gardening and Property services will be gritting and snow clearing Yorkshire Water sites this winter. Owner Damian Kelly explained how with support from Ice Watch uK they (SGPS)
will ensure engineers can safely access sites to carry out their essential work at treatment and waste sites. He said: “There are hundreds of Yorkshire Water sites across North and East Yorkshire from Bridlington, Malton and Whitby and it is our job to make it as safe as possible for engineers to complete their vital work for thousands of local people and businesses”. Damian added that as temperatures drop it is best to be prepared and told the Scarborough Review how the service is also available to any business and domestic customers alike wishing to maximise their safety this winter going to or from work or home. n For further information call Damian at SGPS on 01723 351308 or 07833 462136.

Tales from the Cooler Water by Steve crawford
It's around this time of year that this column starts living up to its name. The first snow has fallen and as it melts the chill seeps into the sea. With the shorter days and longer nights only the hardiest (you can read that as daftest if you wish) venture out into the waves. This weekend, the 21-22nd November, more than 200 surfers came to Scarborough to ride the first waves of winter. Snow and ice was no obstacle to people from all over the NE and even as far afield as Cambridge university whose surf club made their first trip to Scarborough and made the best of the Yorkshire waves. A big thanks to all the people who came to the Surfers Against Sewage autumn beach clean at the start of November. We had 45 wonderful volunteers who managed to collect almost 300 kg of litter from south bay between them. Soggy spent fireworks, scaffold poles, plastic barriers and rope made up most of the weight along with all the usual things we find. It is always surprising how much we find even after the council surf rake machine has cleaned the beach only a few hours before. Some people might think that the name 'Surfers Against Sewage' is a bit outdated in the modern age of water treatment plants and high tech
machinery. However, the sad fact is that even now a large volume of untreated sewage still makes it into the sea, for example pipes discharged over 30 times in the Scarborough area during the first 3 weeks of November - which averages out at more than one discharge per day. You won't be shocked to hear that I'm finishing teaching beginners' surfing until next Easter, because nobody likes to have me shouting instructions at them in the cold North Sea in January. I'm still teaching advanced and intermediate surfers all through winter, so if you are interested in improving your skills give me a call.

The Humble Cotoneaster - Plant of the month
The Cotoneaster plant
THE Muck and Magic plant of the month for December may be quite a surprise but every garden needs plants that earn their keep and Cotoneaster does just that! Gardeners would call it a ‘good doer’ - a plant that will tolerate all kinds of weather and is surprisingly resistant to most pests and diseases. At this time of the year the branches are laden with lovely red berries - a perfect lunch for local wildlife but Cotoneaster has added benefits at other times of the year making it a very versatile addition to the garden. In May and June pretty white flowers will play host to a wealth of insects and at a time when we are all being encouraged to give a
helping hand to wildlife this plant is perfect. Cotoneasters, and plant cousin Pyracantha which is also in full berry this month, are members of the rose family and are very tolerant of most conditions except for heavily water logged soils. In fact, they are perfect for a dry corner of the garden. There are lots of varieties and species to choose from depending on the size of your garden. If you have lots of space choose Cotoneaster lacteus which is evergreen and free flowering on arching branches up to ten feet tall. for small gardens Cotoneaster dammeri is suitable for a rock garden or grown as ground cover as it will only reach about ten inches in height. However, Cotoneasters don’t mind being pruned if they have outgrown their space and they will readily send out new shoots. All in all they are very obliging plants! for the green fingered gardeners who like a challenge, try propagating some plants at this time of the year by sowing the berries in a pot of well drained John Innes seed compost and leaving them in a cold frame over winter. let the cold weather break down the hard seed coat and watch in spring for new plants germinating. If you are looking for a ‘no nonsense’ plant which gives interest all year round, isn’t a magnet for pests and diseases and gives a helping hand to the birds and bees, then look no further than the understated and under estimated, humble Cotoneaster!

Preserved remains of a ginkgo leaf
NORMAllY this time of year is a little quieter for us in terms of taking groups out on the coast, but the last few weeks have been very busy indeed. In addition to a number of private fossil hunting trips (they make great Christmas presents!), and school groups I was also involved with a very exciting days filming with BBC Bitesize. We spent the day with TV presenter Steve Mould and a great group of pupils from Newby and Scalby school hunting for evidence of the dinosaurs that once roamed Scarborough. In between lots of muddy feet and trousers from going up and down wet paths, we found, measured and interpreted a great range of footprints, a topic covered
previously in this column and on our website. The image I have chosen for this issue is actually a piece of dinosaur food, the same age as the footprints we find, but rather than a trace fossil this is an actual preserved remains of a ginkgo leaf, 165million years old. The ginkgo tree is often referred to as a living fossil, there are a number growing in Scarborough, although without their leaves they are not always easy to identify. They were very abundant during the Jurassic along with conifers, horsetails, tree ferns and horsetails. look out for the footprint films appearing on BBC Bitesize soon, we will publicise them via our social media and website at: www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk.

Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE new development manager of a busy community centre in the old town is settling into his latest role. Malcolm Hall, a former town-centre manager in Scarborough, is running the Base community centre on the corner of Cross Street and friar’s Way, near the Market Hall. Previously used by Scarborough Homeless Support Services, the centre was taken over about a year ago by local charity Castle Community Network (CCN). Mr Hall is eager to meet residents and find out what kind of activities they would like the Base to provide. He says: “The Base is open to anyone living in the Scarborough area, 10am-4pm
Monday to Thursday. “Volunteers are available to help with a range of IT services including accessing online services, using email, filling in forms, writing letters, helping with CVs and job searches, and using tablets and other computer technology.” Scanning, photocopying, shredding and laminating are on offer at reasonable charges. Residents can join in with art, craft and sewing. The emphasis is on enjoying being creative while getting to know other people. No previous experience is needed and there is always someone there to help bring creative ideas to life. Mr Hall is quick to stress that the Base is there for everyone. “People of all ages
are welcome but children should be accompanied by an adult,” he says. There isn’t enough space for a crèche but staff are happy to speak to parents about child-care options if they would like to use services at the Base. A project funded by the People’s Health Trust (PHT), through money raised by the Health lottery, is run at the Base on fridays and Saturdays. Growing Creatively in the Castle Community is aimed at residents living in the old town and near the town centre. All costs are met by the PHT so craft, gardening and other activities are free to join. Coordinator Christine Mackay says: “Members decide what activities they would like to do and there is always a lot of good banter. In September we had a lovely day out to North Yorkshire lavender, Scampston Hall and Betton farm – a lot to fit in to one day but we managed it!” Ms Mackay is keen to welcome new members. CCN delivers a colourful quarterly newsletter, Positive News, to residents. It has a request form on the back page for suggestions for new activities. Sufficient responses will help CCN secure funding and resources for anything from walking groups to family history sessions. Residents are encouraged to complete the form and call in to the Base and see what is on offer. * The Base is holding a Christmas fayre on Saturday 12 December, from 10am to 1pm. It will feature a raffle, festive nibbles, craft-gifts and a secret Santa. The Base can be contacted on 01723 372712 or email malcomhall@ castlecommunitynetwork.org. CCN can be found on facebook and Twitter.

SCARBOROuGH photographer David Walker is putting the fun back into pictures. David has set up his new studio funPhotos4u on Dean Road in Scarborough and he is looking to create extra special pictures at great prices. David said: “I have been doing photographs in the Scarborough area for 12 years now and I absolutely love it. “I do work a lot on weddings but really wanted to get back into the studio too.

Yorkshire Coast Homes raises hundreds for Young Epilepsy
Words by Krystal Starkey
difficult for others to understand the full impact that epilepsy can have on a person’s life. The reality for Paris is that she has to attend a school far away from her home in Scarborough and this really makes it even more important for us to support her parents, Graham and Julee, by ensuring that their daughter has access to the best facilities at her school.” So far, staff members at Yorkshire Coast Homes have raised over £200.00 and will be continuing to hold charity events to encourage more donations to support Young Epilepsy Centre St Pier’s School. If you have any ideas or want to get involved please get in touch via the details below. You can also donate by going to the Just Giving webpage https://www.justgiving. com/YCH10k2015/ or by texting, ‘Text YCHS50 £3 to 70070’ (or £2, £5, £10). n For further information please contact Cherie Welburn, Yorkshire Coast Homes, Social Media & Communications Officer, The Yorkshire Coast Homes Running Club members pictured with Julee & Graham 01723 343210 Byrnes (centre).

Christmas spirit high at local store
A GROuP of Yorkshire Coast Homes staff braved the weather and took to the streets of Scarborough to run 5k or 10k in order to raise money for Young Epilepsy. This particular charity is close to the heart of YCH Operative, Graham Byrnes and his wife Julee, as their daughter Paris who has just turned 18, suffers from severe uncontrollable epilepsy. Graham and Julee managed to get Paris into the Young Epilepsy Centre St Pier’s School in Surrey. The school itself is currently in need of refurbishment and there is hopefully going to be another school building ready on the campus for Spring 2016 however, both projects are in great need of additional funding. Shaun Tymon, Yorkshire Coast Homes Chief Executive, said: “Everyone at Yorkshire Coast Homes is proud to be raising funds for Paris and the Young Epilepsy Centre St Pier’s School in Surrey. like many other illnesses, it can be
market plans progress
EXCITING £2.7m plans to transform Scarborough’s historic market are moving forward and partners in the project want local people to get involved. They want to speak to shoppers, stallholders, local businesses and residents about what they want to see change. The feedback they get will feed into the process of creating a fresh and vibrant new market for the town. The ongoing consultations have begun with a series of meetings with market stallholders. There will then be two meetings, on 2 December from 7pm at the Sub Aqua Club, on St Mary’s Street, and on 3 December from 4pm at the Rainbow Centre, Castle Road, for local residents to give their views.
There will be further consultations, including an online survey. People will be asked things like what would best breathe new life into the market, what they would like to see there and what would attract them to shop. Councillor Bill Chatt, Scarborough Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Public Health and Housing, said: “This is the first step in the exciting creation of a new market for Scarborough. “It is vital that everyone who has an interest – be they stallholders, local residents or local shoppers – has an opportunity to give their views on what they want from their local market.” Scarborough Borough Council and the university of Hull are partners in the transformation project, made possible thanks to a £2.7m grant from the Coastal Communities fund, administered by the Big lottery fund. The historic market building is to get a complete makeover, during which a new mezzanine floor will be added, to create space for new shops, offices and a café. The university of Hull is creating an online market, a virtual Scarborough market on a single website, with lots of different traders but one pay point. It is also creating an online market intelligence system which will help those running businesses or considering setting up a business in and around Scarborough.

Sagittarius 23rd november-22nd DECEMBER A rather splendid period for Sagittarians whereon events conspire to bring you the best of all worlds. Some long term domestic ambition will have been achieved, giving you good reason to feel extremely pleased with the outcome. There is good news where distant family is concerned which enables you to breathe more easily, and there is a close sense of unity with more immediate family; it’s likely to be a busy Christmas dressed up with Christmas trees and tradition.
On the debit side, bank accounts may have taken a heavy hammering, but you’ll look around you and will feel anything that has been spent, has been well spent. Parents might enjoy the same kind of feeling when they look at their kids, and realize that they haven’t done too bad a job of bringing them up. On the subject of children, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some news about (a) a pregnancy, and (b) an engagement.
CAPRICORN

23rd dec-20th jan
Just like your Taurean cousins, Capricorns can have a problem with Christmas. It’s never what you think it’s going to be. There is always a feeling of anti-climax. This year, make the effort to have a good time! A lover or partner is working overtime to make sure you do have a good time, and it does you no harm to meet them half way.
AQUARIUS
21st jan-18th feb
Exciting new romances in the wind for singles and solos, and a strengthening of foundation stones in long standing unions. Some really good financial vibes, with a boost or bonus between the 6th and the 16th which gives you more to play around with than you thought you had. Christmas is a happy one, with the evening of the 24th being a high point.
PISCES
19th feb-19th mar
Christmas of this year will be rather different to some you have known in the past, made so by what you do, and where you do it – and much more importantly, who you do it with! There are some very strong emotional and romantic energies around you at this time, and if someone is offering you something different to the norm, then grab at it with both hands.

20th mar - 19th apr
Lots of optimism during the first week of the month, but then some sort of family argument around the 10th makes you feel a wee bit hard done by. Once again, you’ll be making compromises without other people making any effort to meet you half way. You’ll get some fun out of Christmas, but it won’t be the Christmas that you want.
TAURUS
20th apr - 21st may
Not a lot of energy with you during the rump end of the year, but you’ll put on a good act and will fool most of the people most of the time. Oddly, you’ll be looking forward to the festive season, and I do say “oddly” because Taureans don’t usually like Christmas very much. This year you seem to be pushing the boat out to make it memorable.
GEMINI
CANCER
22nd jun-22st jul
If you’re looking for raving great parties and nights of wild passion, you’re likely to be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for some quiet moments of care and tenderness where all family matters are given top priority, then I reckon you should be more than well pleased. The 24th and the 27th are “highlight” days of importance.
LEO
23rd jul - 22nd AUG
Regardless of what might be happening on the work scene, emotional and romantic aspects seem to be much more on your mind as you struggle to find a way of making compromises that please some of the different people in your life. In simple terms, follow your heart and don’t let things like duty and expectation get in the way of your heart’s desire.
VIRGO
23rd aug -22nd sep
LIBRA
23rd sep - 22nd oct
December starts well enough, but then from around the 11th everything that could go wrong, starts going wrong! You’ll get yourself back on an even keel around the 21st or 22nd, and Christmas should be particularly memorable by virtue of the fact that it offers some calm and tranquillity. Don’t make impulsive knee jerk decisions at this time. Wait a while.
Great month, especially for career girls looking for promotion. Some financial boost between the 9th and 14th gives you leeway to splash out on the Christmas bun fight, and although this should be a pleasant and rewarding period, your brain is restless, and already you’ll be looking into the New Year, doing some planning and plotting.
SCORPIO
23rd oct -22nd nov
Younger members of the sign are likely to be bullied and manipulated by older folk in the family circle who expect them “to conform”. Some rebellion is inevitable, and unless some compromise is found, Christmas could be a moody few days. Foot loose and fancy free singles have none of these problems – and doesn’t it make you wish…?
22nd may - 21st jun
Quite a busy period work wise in the run up to Christmas, and by the time you get to the 24th/25th you’ll welcome a rest – not that you’re likely to get one if you’ve got kids and family to think of. A few lucky folk will choose to jump on

FilEY FooD SpEciAl! THE EAST YORKSHIRE CHRISTMAS MARKET IN ASSOCIATION WITH FILEY CHAMBER OF TRADE SERVED UP PLENTY OF FESTIVE TREATS. AND SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE WAS ON HAND TO CAPTURE THE EVENT.
hundreds head to Evron centre for some christmas cheer THE Evron Centre in filey was the base for this year's East Yorkshire Christmas Market in association with filey Chamber of Trade. There was everything on offer from locally sourced meats, olive oils, cheeses and chocolate to cakes and biscuits, music and charity collections. The action took place both indoors and outdoors at the Evron and Radio Scarborough were also on hand to interview some of the stall holders and organisers. Chris Elley, Director of Eat Yorkshire, said: “It was a good day and there were lots of people about enjoying
the produce and items available. There was a really good mixture of things to suit different tastes and plenty to get your teeth into. “It was great to see some of the excellent local produce on offer and to be able to chat with those making and selling it. It certainly was very interesting.” Sheila Grant from Crofts Chocolates in Scarborough, added: “It is good to do events like this as it gets our product out there. We had a lovely display of chocolates to show and people seemed to enjoy them which is great.” n To order prints of these and any pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review email: pete@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 07815290457.

THE courage, skill and leadership of a Scarborough RNlI crewman has been recognised after he took part in a dangerous and difficult rescue in rough conditions earlier this year. Rudi Barman, 36, has been awarded the RNlI’s bronze medal for gallantry, an honour last bestowed nationally three years ago and locally in 1973. Crew members Craig Burnett, 45, Adam Beston, 30, Peter Billingsley, 48, and Jason Hedges, 29, have received letters of thanks in recognition of their part in the incident. The awards were presented by the lord lieutenant of North Yorkshire, Barry
Dodd, at a dinner at the Crown Spa Hotel in Scarborough. On 22 february, Scarborough’s inshore lifeboat launched into strong winds, treacherous seas and darkness in an attempt to rescue local man Andrew McGeown, who got into difficulties after going into the sea to rescue his dog. With Mr Barman in command and Mr Burnett and Mr Beston on board, they repeatedly manoeuvred the D-class lifeboat towards the shore amid breaking waves. They eventually managed to haul Mr McGeown onto the lifeboat, return him to shore and administer CPR. Dr Billingsley and Mr Hedges – a

RNlI operations director George Rawlinson said: “It took exceptional boathandling skill, leadership and bravery for Rudi, along with his crew, to attempt to rescue Mr McGeown in confused seas, at night and close to a dangerous shore. “Although this rescue was marked by tragedy, it is a testament to their team work and tenacity that they did everything they could to reach the casualty and bring him ashore,” he said. “I’d like to thank Rudi, his lifeboat crew and the shore crew for their courage and dedication. I’d also like to recognise and
thank their families and the community who support the station’s volunteers. Our charity couldn’t do its lifesaving work without their support and I appreciate their help and commitment.” Mr Barman said: “It is a great honour to receive this award and I feel very proud to be a part of Scarborough lifeboat crew and the RNlI. “This was a difficult rescue in very challenging conditions and we did everything we possibly could for Andrew so we were all devastated that we were unable to save him. It was a huge effort from all those involved and a real tragedy he did not survive. Andrew was known personally by many of the crew and his loss was felt across the whole town. My thoughts are with his family and friends at what I’m sure is still a very difficult time for them.” The RNlI last awarded gallantry medals to three members of its flood rescue team for a rescue carried out in fast-flowing flood water in Devon in December 2012. Seventeen gallantry medals have been awarded to Scarborough lifeboat volunteers. The last was in 1973, when acting coxswain Tom Rowley received a bronze medal in recognition of courage and seamanship when the lifeboat saved the Eun Mara An Tar and rescued the crew of four. The vessel was in difficulty with broken steering gear six miles off Scarborough in a storm force north-northwesterly wind and a rough sea.
Vinyl and vintage movement arrives in Falsgrave
Words and photos by Dave Barry
THE vinyl and vintage movement has come to falsgrave in Scarborough. These days, vinyl records are being recognised as the best way to get the full music experience as well as those fantastic 12in lP covers - that’s 30cm in today’s money. Not only music is turning to the past, but fashion, home décor, kitchen appliances and even car design. Victor’s Vinyl & Vintage has all this covered and is an attempt to get the personal touch and social connection back into buying life’s little goodies as opposed to online shopping. Needless to say, shop owner Alan Parry, aka Victor Swanvesta - a DJ of 78s, will have a good supply of shellac for sale as well as those cheeky little 45s. The shop has an original 1960 Rock-Ola jukebox which although not quite working at present is great to look at. Victor is looking for a jukebox techie who is able to fix it. The vintage side of things falls under Victor’s partner’s jurisdiction and includes clothing, jewellery, radios, curios and vintage magazines. In Victor’s younger days, he owned the

Town Hall’s voyage over the centuries WoRDS aND ReceNt Photo By Dave BaRRy
Scarborough’s town hall, its principal municipal building, is also one of its finest. Perched on a clifftop, it boasts breathtaking views across the south bay and further out to sea. As the seat of local government, it contains many distinctively furnished rooms and artworks, bequeathed or presented by the great, the good and others. The red-brick, Jacobean-style mansion, with gables and stone decoration, was built as a house in 1852, designed by architect Henry Wyatt (18071880). In 1603, it was the site of Oyle House, where whales were boiled to produce oil. According to historian Thomas Hinderwell (1744-1825), it was such a smelly business that it had to be well away from the town, most of which was then located by the seafront. The town hall was at Bethel Place, on the site of the former Bethel Mission - now a café - by the harbour, in what we now call the old town. The town hall then moved to William Newstead’s Assembly Rooms, at what is now 11-11A Princess Street, just up the hill from its original location. In 1737, a by-election at the town hall split the council and in 1744, the death of William Thompson provoked another crisis; no agreement could be reached on who should be the new bailiffs. Twelve electors were locked in the town hall for nearly three months, supplied by friends with food, drink and bedding. But they were unable, or unwilling, to come to a decision. In the early 18th century, an effigy of a knight was on display at the George Chapman longroom, now called longroom Passage, off Sandside. It somehow found its way into the cellars of the old town hall in Sandside after being rediscovered around 1850. The town hall moved from the old town to what is now called St Nicholas Street in 1800, a few doors down from its current location and on the other side. In 1867, a new combined town hall and court house opened in Castle Road, between St Thomas Street and Auborough Street. It was demolished in 1971. The building which stood on the site of the current town hall was demolished in 1844, the year that long Room Street was renamed St Nicholas Street. It was owned by businessman John Woodall, who had his mansion built in 1845, naming it St Nicholas House. The grounds extended down to the foreshore. In 1898, Scarborough Corporation bought the building and neighbouring properties for £33,575 (£3.7m in today’s money) from Woodall’s son, who had inherited it when his father died in 1879. The authority spent another £18,522 (£2m) on adapting the building. It was opened in 1903 by Queen Victoria’s youngest daughter Princess Beatrice, who unveiled the bronze statue of her mother in the garden outside. Costing £600 (£66,000), it is the only statue of a public figure in the town, apart from religious representations. A new wing, for the council chamber and offices, was designed by borough engineer and surveyor Harry Smith in a style sympathetic to the rest of the building. The wing was hit by a shell fired from a German warship during the 1914 bombardment, but little damage was caused. The building was further enlarged in 1962-64, with extensions in King Street and St Nicholas Street. Today, the town hall is a grade II listed building. Its foyer has a floormosaic depicting the 13th century borough seal and one of the 100 castiron incense burners that were placed on london Bridge for the wedding of the future Edward VII in 1863. The civic parlour contains paintings by HB Carter of the original house, before it was converted into a town hall. The fire surround is adorned with semi-precious stones collected from borough beaches including carnelian, amethyst and Whitby jet. The mayor’s parlour has photos of famous visitors such as Winston Churchill and a piece of shrapnel salvaged from the bombardment and fashioned into an inkstand. A big painting in the main corridor, by artist and photographer Oliver Sarony, was described as a “gigantic fraud” by alderman Meredith Whittaker. It portrays the future king and his wife at the Spa in 1870 with well-heeled locals who paid up to 100 guineas to be included. The more you paid, the closer you were shown to the royal couple. The scene is fictitious. A few years ago, the council considered selling the town hall and moving its offices out of town to the industrial estate at Crossgates. It would have harvested a few handy millions for the council but the idea was scrapped.

AlBUm REViEW - Stun Raid on Planet X by Cosmic Jet Crash
Stun Raid on Planet X
Review by David Wright
SCARBOROuGH music scene stalwarts Nick and leigh Emmerson have been the creative force in outfits such as filterthrust, fuzzgun Sniper, the Strapon lovers and more recently garage punk rockers the Vasolators. Two years in the making, Stun Raid on Planet X is an interesting and diverse solo project by Nick. Recorded in analogue, it is very much a home-baked creation, with a big V-sign
to the digital world. Don’t even ask for a download; you should expect to receive this CD in a jiffy bag. Das Psycho Blue, the driving opener, is the Beach Boys bastardized in contaminated waters not fit for surfing, with fuzz guitars and psychedelic synth lines. The pace doesn’t let up on Evil Dictator, another punky stabber. This is a song for the live stage not the home studio. Should the Strap-On lovers ever return to the toilet venues they were always destined for, this will surely be performed on a sticky floor one day. Although an occasional vocalist with the Vasolators, Nick Emmerson’s gritty vocals are particularly effective on the dirty repetitive fuzz riff of Through to You. latenight punk angst at its best, this grubby little number sounds like it was recorded after eight cans of Special Brew. The album is crammed with riffs and melodies that will stick in your head and, once lodged, you’ll find it hard to shift them.
Away from the sleaze and incessant riffing, Give Me Song is a humble and surprisingly heartfelt moment with raw vocals, bendy distorted guitar and a warped outro, never too safe or predictable. Nevertheless, a charming acoustic moment which was perhaps intended for Nick’s current work with the Vasolators. Alongside Peach Turn Ride, it wouldn’t sound out of place on a Brian Jonestown Massacre album. The track’s infectious twangy guitars and abnormal vocals is country not western, more weirdo with a dark and thrilling edge. Machine Operator, a tense highpoint in the Vasolators’ live set, appears here as a beefed-up full-band version and is indebted to the Clash’s cover of Brand New Cadillac. Spiritualized are a big influence on Trip to the Moon and what a psychedelic and experimental trip this is. With a nod to the sixties and the ufO club, its moody melody and spaced-out feel sends Cosmic Jet Crash in another musical direction, which is out of this world.
One feels that this album has been a joyous musical exploration and escapism at times for Nick as he sings Going Back to the Egg above the squelchy synths and hip-hop beat of God Knows. With samples from the film Deliverance, hints of Primal Scream and more fall repetition, this harks back to Nick’s somewhat under-loved and under-rated electro-punk outfit fuzzgun Sniper. full of intriguing sounds and textures, it is a highpoint of this highly creative set of recordings and although the closing electro beats of Return of the Sniper is clearly a work in progress; a filthy bass hints the Dr Who theme while Emmerson’s deranged voice teases out the song’s title as his guitar doubles up the riff. An intriguing closer, it adds fuel to the flames and persistent rumours that fuzzgun Sniper will be making a second coming in 2016. Stun Raid on Planet X can be heard on the band’s website, cosmicjetcrash.com, and bought at independent records stores such as Record Revivals in Scarborough.

(To order thephotos, above please ring 353597). DOZENS of people turned out in heavy rain for a free gig at Scarborough’s Old Vic pub. Billed as “an epic night of good vibes for positive causes”, it raised money and awareness for uNHCR, Hope Not Hate and the firstlight Trust. Three acts – Skandals, Bongomaniacs and Joe Solo – gave excellent performances, enjoyed by all present. The gig came about after members of the English Defence league (EDl), a farright, Islamophobic group, travelled to Scarborough for a rally in the town centre on 17 October. They convened at the Old Vic, whose
Bongomaniacs managers didn’t realise who they were until it was too late. The rally, in the pedestrian precinct, involved dozens of police, many of them mounted, and clashes with anti-racism protestors. The opposing sides, kept apart by two lines of police, had mobile PA systems to broadcast their messages. Many on the EDl side wore masks and yelled abuse. The EDl is planning to return in greater numbers on Saturday 28 November. They will be met by “community groups, local activists, charities and the people of Scarborough saying No to fascism at a solidarity party with live music, speakers and DJs”, according to a poster. The 38 Degrees website is hosting a petition calling on the police and council to stop the EDl returning to Scarborough. A police spokesman said: “Our officers are liaising with the organisers of the demonstration, as well as representatives from unite Against fascism, who are expected to take part in a counterdemonstration on the day, to facilitate peaceful and lawful protest.” The police say they are working closely with the council and other community partners in Scarborough to minimise disruption for residents, businesses and visitors in the town centre.
BRuCE SPRINGSTEEN sidekick Nils lofgren rattled off as many anecdotes as songs at his Scarborough Spa show. Better known for flanking the Boss than for his solo work, the 64-year-old veteran is a gifted storyteller and regaled his spellbound audience with tales of Springsteen, Neil Young and other peers. lofgren, who was born in Chicago and lives in Arizona, played piano and guitar on Young’s seminal 1970 album After the Gold Rush when he was 19. He joined Springsteen’s E-Street Band in 1984, for the massive Born in the uSA tour, and played on nine more world tours. last year, he released 45-year career retrospective album face the Music, a 10-disc box set. At the Spa, he was as modest, unassuming and self-effacing as ever, wearing a long shirt with a poppy badge, pointed grey sideburns projecting from under a distinctive hat. In deference to the hip replacements he had seven years ago, and after decades of basketball and stage flips, the trampoline that was once a staple of his solo shows has been replaced by a tapboard. It was used mostly by his backing-man Greg Varlotta, who complemented his guitar, keyboards and trumpet with some rather quirky tappercussion. Between Going Back and I Came to Dance, lofgren went off and swapped his trainers for tap shoes and joined Varlotta on the board. The first encore song was in memory of Springsteen saxman Clarence Clemons, whose funeral fell the day after lofgren’s 60th birthday. “We miss you, C,” he said. Then the electric fender went on for Shine Silently, with a drumming backing track. lofgren went straight from the stage to the bar to meet his fans and sign autographs – but strictly not to pose for photos, although a few sneaky ones were taken from the sides, without flash.

Gazza on the ball for Spa appearance Paul Gascoigne
EX-ENGlAND football star Paul Gascoigne is set to lay bare the truth about his football career and personal life at a special show at Scarborough Spa next year. ‘Paul Gascoigne – The live Show’ on friday 11 March 2016, will give football fans the chance to hear ‘Gazza’ tell his life story including all of his ups and downs. The Spa Theatre date is one of only a handful Gascoigne will be doing on a uK tour of venues which started earlier this year to mark 25 years since ‘Gazza’ became a national treasure. His skilful displays from midfield drove England to the World Cup semi-finals in Italy, before they lost on penalties to West Germany in Turin - a game famed for Gazza bursting into tears when he received a yellow card and realised he would be suspended for the final, had England got there. Described as ‘the most naturally gifted English midfielder of his generation’ the Geordie genius will also be quizzed by fans about his times with the likes of Newcastle,

RADIO SCARBOROUGH’S TWELFTH MAN SPORTS SHOW HOST ANT TAYLOR BRINGS US HIS MONTHLY VIEWS ON THE WORLD OF SPORT
Lomu a true great of World sport By ant taylor IN this day and age there are great sportsmen and women. from David Beckham, not only what he has achieved on the pitch, but he has become a fashion icon and humanitarian raising millions for children around the world. On the women side Jess Ennis-Hill what she has also won in her sport after overcoming early injuries and last year regaining the World Championships and only giving birth and raising a child with training on top, she must be forged from the same steel her home is famous for. But with them two mentioned and all the other sports personalities around the globe, there is but a true giant in the game of rugby and he is Jonah lomu. Standing at 6ft 5in this Auckland born Māori, must of put fear into not just opposing half backs, but the whole team when coming against him. He broke records early on in his rugby career as he was the youngest player to represent his school Wesley College, while playing for the team there he was told by his coach that he should start getting used to been this. As not to long after that he was the youngest All Back at 19 years old and with only two international caps he was set loose on to the World stage at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. He may not have helped New Zealand win in the final as that was South Africa's time. But with his running game, my earliest memory of him is ripping though the English defence. It reminded me of a David Attenborough nature programme where a pride of lionesses are jumping on top of a stampeding wilder beast and the lions are just getting shrugged off, that is such the power, strength and speed of the guy.

SCARBOROuGH Athletic are holding their AGM and fans forum on friday November 27 at Scarborough Bowls Centre, North Marine Road. The AGM begins at 7.30pm with the fans forum following from approximately 8.30pm. The AGM and election part of the evening is only open to all current paid up joint Jonah Lomu
It was at the end of 1995 when Jonah was first diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome he was on dialysis due to the deterioration in his kidney function. He had a Kidney Transplant in 2004. Jonah scored tries against every major test playing nation in World Rugby except South Africa (12 matches) and Wales (3 matches), he now jointly still holds the record of 15 tries in World Cup tournaments, which was equalled by South African Bryan Habana at this years World Cup in England. I have to say I am saddened by his passing, but I do think that his shadow will last long over the Rugby world who will mourn this Māori warrior who gave everything into all that he loved and who loved his greatness. Rest in peace big guy.

Boro tame the tigers with home victory
Boro under-14s squad SCARBOROuGH Athletic under-14s welcomed Kingston Tigers to Heslerton for a Hull Boys league Cup game. Boro started on the front foot early in the match causing one or two problems for the visitors defence. It wasn't until 19 minutes Boro made the breakthrough George Bramham quickest to react in the box and half volleying home after charging down a clearance. Next it was George Walmsley on 30 minutes to score after outpacing the home defence and blasting home from close range . The second half saw Tigers on the front foot, attacking on more than one occasion and having a new belief in their good approach play and they were rewarded with a penalty when Brad Smith was adjudged to have handled in the area . Cameron Anderson had other ideas about
any fight back when he made a double save from the spot-kick ,and now has saved three of the last four penalties he's faced . George Walmsley was to be next on the score-sheet with Boro's third on 50 minutes and ending any hope of a comeback for Tigers. Next up was Harry Coldbeck getting on the end of a Kane Randerson Wray cross after good work from Kane and Zamese Deans, to plant a bullet header into the top corner . Tigers endeavour finally paid off to reduce the arrears to 4-1 , this was however a consolation as Jaydan Hindle was to have the last say curling a 25-yarder into the bottom corner to cap a good team performance. Nathan Parker was the man of the match for Boro for his master class in defence.

Judo ace Danilov grabs another top medal
Local cricket leagues join forces

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCARBOROuGH Ippon's Roman Danilov has scooped another major judo medal shortly after becoming the Judo for All (uK) national champion. The 18-year-old went to Birmingham to take part in the national championships of the Amateur Judo Association. This time gold was just out of Danilov's reach - by 14 seconds. That is how long he had to hold on in his final fight. A cagey opening bout saw Roman struggle to gain control over a physically strong opponent. Two yuko scores, however finally ended in him taking Mark francis of Worthing to the ground where he managed to pin him for the 30 seconds required. fight number two had a completely different feel to it as Danilov worked hard to dominate the much taller Zak Taylor
from Birmingham. Gaining an early score he launched a series of attacks, finally taking Taylor down with a devastating sweep that drew applause from the spectators. Danilov reached the final fight on merit to face leicestershire-based Jordan Millichip. In an evenly contested bout Millichip was lucky to survive an armlock attempt from the Scarborough fighter. Yet despite his overall domination of the contest there was nothing Danilov could do to stop Millichip's final roll of the dice succeeding. An exquisitely timed turn in saw Danilov taken over with an makkikomi, winding throw that ended the fight. "He was disappointed to lose the final," said coach Dave Hammond. "He had worked hard and I think his energy may have been sapped a little, but he will bounce back. Over all it was a good result."
Darts final was a close thing

Cayton skipper Darren Foreman
by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Cayton Cricket Club's first team skipper Darren foreman added: “I am a traditionalist but I think for the benefit of both leagues it was something that made sense and was a move in the right direction. With numbers dwindling it can only help to be under one umbrella.” This was a view very much mirrored by Ex-Staxton captain Nick Gibson, who said: “I think it's a very positive move by the two leagues who have spent many hours discussing the best options to ensure local cricket continues withing the Scarborough area. “league secretaries Bernard Goulding and Simon Dobson have been instrumental in this and deserve recognition for what has not been an easy road to go down. Going forward this should ensure cricket to continue and encourage new and old players to play local cricket.” The Readers Scarborough Beckett Cricket league Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 27 January 2015, at the Downe Arms, Wykeham. Keep reading Scarborough Review Sport for all the latest on the new league set-up.
THE amalgamation of the Readers Scarborough Beckett Cricket league and Derwent Valley Cricket league was confirmed at the Derwent Valley league’s Extraordinary General Meeting at Ayton Sports Association. The new look Beckett league will now consist of 57 teams, with the final divisional structure and match format still to be confirmed. Secretary Simon Dobson said: “Although this is a very sad day for local cricket, everyone involved feels this is in the best interests of the our beloved summer sport as we plan for the future under one organisation.” Kirkbymoorside were crowned the last ever Derwent Valley Champions back in August and Dobson is hopeful all of the teams joining the new look league will enjoy 2016. He added: “Our aim is to provide, promote and encourage cricket in and around the Scarborough area for all ages and abilities, so we will be doing our up most to secure cricket for the next generation of players.”

BoRo REViEW BY Will BAiNES Boro still looking for consistent winning formula
Matty Bloor carries the ball against Whitby Town Metcalfe spun in the box and fired the ball into the bottom corner to seal an incredible comeback for the hosts.
Ryan Qualter heads clear - the defender has now returned to his parent club Bradford Park Avenue THE inconsistency that has plagued Scarborough Athletic throughout the season continued in November as Boro registered two wins and two defeats. Boro currently find themselves languishing in 14th place in the Evo-Stik first Division North after consecutive defeats against lowly farsley Celtic and Droylsden. The month began with a last gasp victory over bottom side New Mills as Boro extended their unbeaten run to four games. After not winning a game all season, it looked like New Mills would be an easy pushover, and the chances Boro carved out in the first half suggested the floodgates would open at some point. However, the alarm bells started ringing when New Mills took the lead as Mayuwa Ajayi streaked clear ten minutes into the second half to rifle past home keeper Erik Bukran to stun the home crowd. The visitors also went close to adding a second as Syrone Allen hit the post after a superb run across the area. With the final whistle looming, Scarborough finally got going and were back on level terms when Alex Peterson headed in a Ryan Blott cross. There was more drama yet to come though as Alex
Next up Boro faced local rivals Whitby Town in the Integro Doodson league Cup. Ryan Blott gave Boro the lead with a low shot from outside the box and the home side looked good value for their lead at the break, but Whitby were given a lifeline when they they awarded a penalty, converted by Michael Roberts, to make it 1-1. Blott claimed his second of the game after diverting a cross into the far corner of the net, but in the closing stages the visitors snatched a late equaliser with a superb Dave McTiernan strike to take the game to spot-kicks. In the shoot out Boro goalkeeper Erik Bukran was the hero as he saved two penalties to send Athl through to a tie against Ossett Albion on Tuesday 1 December at Queensgate. A trip to Throstle Nest followed as joint manager Paul foot took Boro to farsley Celtic. Ryan Blott struck the opener from the penalty spot after 40 minutes, but that was as good as it got for the Seadogs as farsley scored twice before the break through Robbie O’Brien and Paul Walker, before a strike six minutes from time by Aiden Savory sealed a 3-1 win for the hosts. Things went from bad to worse as a Domaine Rouse hat-trick helped Droylsden to a convincing 4-2 win over Boro at a wintry Queensgate. Goalkeeper Erik Bukran and Ryan Qualter had returned to their parent clubs prior to the game, giving Rob Zand a chance in goal and u21s captain Harry Holden filling in at the back. Rouse got the opener for Droylsden with a drilled finish after five minutes, but the home side were quickly back on level terms when Ryan Blott capitalised on good work by Gary Bradshaw to find the back of the net.
Boro captain Nathan Peat guards the ball Boro then took the lead when debutant Jamie forrester rifled in from six yards, but a bullet header from Rouse quickly made it 2-2. With the snow falling Droylsden then took the lead as O'Brien saw his deflected shot loop up and over the Boro keeper Rob Zand, before Rouse completed his hat
trick with a shot from the edge of the area to give The Bloods their first win in five games. It has been a frustrating season so far with constant changes to the Boro side due to injuries and players coming in and out not helping. Time is running out for the club to turn around their season before it is too late.

GolFiNG REViEW BY DERRicK ARDEN North cliff lead pennant standings THE three local Winter Alliances have been progressing this month albeit the Scarborough & District Alliance lost two of their fixtures due to water logged courses. In the one fixture that was fulfilled at Bridlington the Whitby pairing of Dean Bennett (8) & Tam McConville (10) posted a net 64 to claim the Tankards by two clear shots. Second place was closely contested between club professional fraser Kelley (0) and Alan Richardson (10) from North Cliff and Ian Johnson (14) & Stuart Dawes (13) of Malton, both pairs finished on net 66 but the North Cliff pair had the better back six. Two South Cliff pairs took 4th & 5th places respectively when Shaun Smith (1) & Neil Bruce (7) posted a net 67 that was matched by team mates Paul
Dack (10) & Andy Wood (11) who lost out on the count back. The dreaded count back also separated the filey pairing of liam Mclachlan (5) and Johnny Gilbank (16) in 6th place from Ryan Rawson (1) and Jamie Sellars (10) from Whitby both scoring net 68. The Bridlington team results were very tight but North Cliff with a team total of 275 leapfrogged filey and now head the league by a very slender margin of just two shots. Pennant standings (Bridlington results in brackets) 1st North Cliff 795 (275); 2nd filey 797 (279); Joint 3rd Bridlington (277), South Cliff (276) & Malton (270) 802; 6th Whitby 811 (281); 7th Driffield 814 (287); 8th Kirkbymoorside 827 (289); 9th flamborough 866 (290)
Uzzell and Wright lift tankards
Steve Uzzell and Nathan Wright with Alliance President Dennis Jones Meanwhile the East Riding & District of York Alliance has been much luckier with the weather and all their events have gone ahead more or less as planned. The latest meeting was held at Hessle Golf Club when a mixture of excellent golf, home advantage and the capricious weather resulted in the home Club moving strongly into top spot in the league alongside Hornsea. The two tee start teed off at eight a.m. and Hessle and Hornsea were among the early starters who managed to complete their rounds and arrive back at the clubhouse dry. Hessle posted scores of 63 & 66 and Hornsea 63 & 70 to take full advantage of their good fortune. As
the morning progressed the weather deteriorated into wind driven rain squalls that proved unfortunate for the later starters. The league leaders at start of play North Cliff and their neighbours South Cliff both battled their way round but could only manage 72 & 73 and 72 & 71 respectively which was respectable scoring in the conditions. Hornsea touring professional Steve uzzell and partner Nathan Wright took the Tankards with the better back nine than the Hessle duo of D. Woodhead & B. Drake, uzzell having carded 6 threes on the home stretch. This was uzzells second win this month after lifting first prize at Kirkbymoorside with another partner Sam Middleton. After the November fixtures the leading scores in the race for the Hull Daily Mail Bowl now has a different look, the Hessle team scores in brackets. 1st = Hessle (129) & Hornsea (133) 661, 3rd North Cliff (145) 670, 4th Hainsworth Park (145) 671, 5th Hull (136) 672, 6th Ganton (140) 681, 7th Heworth (144) 683, 8th York (143) 686, 9th Beverley (145) 687, 10th filey (148) 688, 11th = Brough (145) & South Cliff (143) 689.
marilyn takes over at North cliff
New North Cliff lady captain Marilyn Rennard with her Vice-Captain Gloria Murgatroyd (on her right) with some of the North Cliff ladies behind North Cliff welcomed Marilyn Rennard into office recently, Marylin was born and bred in the South of England but moved to Scarborough in 1970 to marry into the well known sporting Rennard family. Her spouse is Colin Rennard a former
Captain and President of Scarborough Rugby Club, his brother Brian is a past Captain of Scarborough Cricket Club. When asked about her ambitions for the coming year her response was to firstly enjoy the experience, then where possible,
move the club forward, especially in terms of building up the ladies section. A step in that direction was to organise an Arizona Shuffle competition, this format requires teams of three and one of the players to score on a par 3, two of them to count on

a par 4 and all three to score on a par 5. The winners were Maureen Hawkins, Sue Bower and Janet Hall with 59 points one point better than the runners-up Marylin Rennard, Jenny Wray & Christine Toulson.
South cliff appoint chris mcmahon
Chris McMahon, seated left, with her vice-captain Caroline Woodhead, seated right and some of the South Cliff ladies around them South Cliff were equally delighted to install Chris McMahon as lady Captain, Chris joined the Club in 2004 and now plays off a handicap of 27 but is determined to reduce that this year, her husband frank is also a member of the Club. unfortunately the snow closed the course on Chris’s big day but she still
made it a day to remember with a sherry reception followed by a beetle drive and Sunday lunch. Going forward Chris is looking to make her year as enjoyable as possible both for herself and the rest of the ladies who will concur she has made an excellent start.
lockwood and thompson shine at Rudding park The South Cliff ladies organised a fun day out at Rudding Park and played a betterball competition, the winners were Ali lockwood and Clare Thompson who pipped runners-up Janet Howes and Elaine Deller by a single point on the 18th green when they were putting in the dark! However all the post game chat centred around Ann Eley for her “shot of the day”. When she played her second shot at the 10th hole the ball somehow landed on the top of the hedge that runs across the fairway. The picture shows Ann taking her stance in readiness for her third shot, what happened next? unfortunately our correspondent Sue Cockill failed to record the outcome.
