Bryan Lawrence shows off his MBE accolade

Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

INSIDE THIS MONTH…

SCARBOROuGH man Bryan Lawrence said being honoured with an MBE from her Majesty the Queen was both a 'huge honour' and 'overwhelming.'

Bryan, 78, was bestowed the honour in November 2015 for his services to scouting,

which he has been involved with for over 60 years.

Bryan was born and bred in Scarborough and was among those who started the First Scarborough Scout group on Maple Drive in 1970.

He had previously started in scouting at St Columba Church on Dean Road in 1955

SEA CADEtS WiN tOP HONOURS SEE pg 12

and was then involved with a scout group at Hoxton Road Chapel.

Bryan said: “It is truly amazing that I have been recognised for doing something that has made me so many friends and brought so much joy to my life on this scale.

“To even be nominated is huge and to receive the MBE was very overwhelming and a huge honour.

“My wife Heather came along with me to Buckingham Palace for the ceremony and without her support I could not have dedicated so much time and energy to scouting over the years.

“I also want to thank all the leaders at First Scarborough Scout group and especially to Trish Jordan who has been amazing.

“I will never forget meeting the queen and having a little chat about the great work the group does and it was a brilliant day.

I did not realise until after the ceremony that I followed up someone rather famous to meet her majesty, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, so I was in good company.”

I WOuLD like to take this opportunity to wish all our readers, advertisers, contributors and supporters of the Scarborough Review a Happy New year.

The Scarborough Review is all about the people who make this wonderful part of the country tick and without your support we would not exist.

So for that end I say a huge thank you and hope to see many of you in 2016.

Happy New year.

yOuNG Kyra-Jae Montgomery is looking forward to some great trips out in the car after Wonkey McDonky fundraising held a bake-off and craft fair.

Kyra, five, who was left disabled after being thrown to the floor at just three months old by her father, has received great support from the community in helping making her life that bit better.

The event raised £172.81 towards getting Kyra a specialist car seat so she can enjoy trips out in the car in comfort with great Grandma Jackie Head and sister Lily.

Jackie said: “We are so grateful to the people from Wonkey McDonky who have been terrific. Kyra struggles to get comfortable in the car and the specialist seat will be a massive help.

“It is wonderful how many people have supported us and I can't thank them enough.”

Trevor Landray from Wonkey McDonky added: “It is a pleasure to do fundraisers for such terrific little girls such as Kyra, who has had a setback early in life but is still brave and smiling.”

Scarborough Amnesty celebrated international human rights day by writing greetings cards to, or on behalf of,

prisoners of conscience around the world.

Members of the Scarborough branch of Amnesty International were joined by members of the local United Nations Association and others, including chairman Mike Gordon’s granddaughters.

Between them, they wrote 79 cards, in the bar of the Hull University campus, where a free buffet was served.

Branch secretary Rod Heath commented: “I’m sure the cards will gladden the hearts of a number of prisoners”. * A prisoner of conscience is someone who has been jailed for peacefully upholding their beliefs.

Santa Claus in the money for Ellie’s Fund

Supermarket collects food for homeless

Noah Gilbert with his brother Alfie and mum Lisa

Words and photos by Dave Barry

The family and friends of a special-needs toddler are raising money to buy him a specialised bed.

Noah Gilbert has been diagnosed with congenital hypertonia and global developmental delay, says his mum, Lisa.

“He's hypermobile, which means his limbs bend much further than most people's,” Lisa explains. “He can't walk or communicate.”

At the age of four, Noah has outgrown his cot and needs a specialised bed that isn’t available on the NHS, says Lisa, who lives in Sandybed with Noah and his brother Alfie, 6.

“It's like a cot but it’s a full-size single bed and it’s padded because he hurts himself by throwing himself round.”

The bed costs £6,500 and should last into Noah’s adulthood.

To raise the money, Lisa’s kindhearted family and friends are rallying round with various fundraising activities, including raffles, parties and sponsored events.

Raffle prizes have been donated by friends, family and Noah. businesses.

(Photos are £6 Noah goes to for 8x5.5in, £9 for Childhaven nursery.

“They go above and beyond the call of duty with Noah.”

DEAN'S Garden Centre in Scarborough helped spread some Christmas cheer while also raising money for charity.

Volunteers from Ellie's Fund – Brain Tumour Trust helped to run Santa's Grotto again this year at the garden centre on Seamer Road.

Father Christmas was helped by Sharron Griffin, Tina Boden, Nicola Bennett, Tom Price, Ria Machin and Mary Abrahams.

Heather Othick, from Ellie's Fund, said: “We'd like to thank all of the volunteers and Santa for giving up their time to help raise funds for research into brain tumours. We raised £255 over the weekend.

We will be there again on December 10 and 11 2016.”

Food for homeless people was collected over the holiday period at Tesco in Scarborough.

On their way in, customers were handed a list of staples by Red Cross volunteers.

The customers were encouraged to buy the foodstuffs, to donate on their way out.

Over three days in December, items were deposited in shopping trolleys by the door.

Each day, a four-sided cage was filled.

In addition, Tesco donated 30% of the estimated value of the food to the scheme.

Spokesperson Hayley Pickles said the supermarket was working closely with local food banks operated by Salvation Army and Eastfield Open Arms.

The operation was run in conjunction with FareShare and the Trussell Trust foodbank charity.

THE team from Radio Scarborough have been bringing the fun to local pubs and clubs with some top fundraising evenings.

The latest two were held at the Station Hotel in Filey and The Hole In The Wall in Scarborough where a combined £120 was raised for the community station.

The event in Filey was a 70's theme night while at the Hole In The Wall it was a

disco and quiz.

One of the organisers Barry Robinson, said: “They were two great nights again and a real pleasure to be involved in.

“I would like to thank Warren and Debbie from the Station Hotel and Tina and Garry from The Hole In The Wall for letting us host the events which were a lot of fun to do.” n For more on Radio Scarborough go to: www.radioscarborough.co.uk

Val’s fundraising is simply Ace

Magic Mike declares the fair open

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE Annual Christmas Fair of Scarborough Friends of Martin House Children’s Hospice at the Rivelyn Hotel raised a massive £1,865.50.

This included generous donations totalling £345 and the proceeds of a raffle at the Valley Bar, totalling £242. The Fair was organised by a small group headed by Becky Holder. The entrance fee was £1 and included a mince pie.

Magic Mike opened the fair and stayed for an hour entertaining the children and making them balloon sculptures. He also donated a family ticket for four, for his Christmas show on Christmas Eve at the Spa which was auctioned off.

Father Christmas and Mother Christmas were there to meet children and take their Christmas orders! There were also guest appearances from Mickey and

Minnie Mouse.

The Choir from the Twilight Productions performed a wonderful selection of carols and Christmas songs and held the audience in raptures.

Ron O'Connor of the Friends group, said: “Sincere thanks to John and Linda Soden, owners of the Rivelyn who provided all the rooms free of charge.

Cooplands, who donated the mince pies; B & Q for supplying a raffle prize, and all individuals, groups, and companies who donated money, time, goods or services to make the event such a huge success. Many quality prizes were donated for the Raffle and Tombola.”

Martin House is our local children’s hospice which provides respite, terminal and bereavement care to over 400 families in North Yorkshire who have a child with short life expectancy.

Thirty people squeezed into the home of a hard-working octogenarian to support a trainee doctor in Africa.

Val Humphreys befriended Denis Musasizi on a nature trip to Uganda with her sister in 2010.

"Denis was my porter and helped me to climb up to see a family of gorillas,” Val explains.

“Aid Conservation through Education [Ace] checked him out for me to see if he was genuine and from a poverty stricken family,” Val says.

“Then I offered to support him through a senior boarding school where Ace send their most intelligent sponsored children to. He scored very high in his A-levels”.

Denis, 24, is now at Kampala International University, training to be a doctor, with financial help from Val. “Out of 215 students in his year, he and three others were equal top,” says Val, who has returned to Uganda twice to see

CHILDREN enjoyed a visit from Father Christmas thanks to hard working staff from a housing charity.

Workers from Home Group organised a Christmas party for those they help through their Stonham Homestay service.

The service helps people in the Scarborough area who are at risk of homelessness maintain or secure a tenancy.

From left, Home Group support worker Stacey Begin, The Filling Station owner Beckie Blake and The party took place at The Radio Scarborough’s Mark Sinclair who provided Street and was supported by the music The Filling Station.

Stacey Begin, Home Group support worker, said: “We decided to hold a Christmas party to bring together all of the different people we support. The children enjoyed yummy food, party games and lots of dancing. Santa Claus also took time out of his busy schedule to visit us and brought early Christmas presents for all the boys and girls.

“We would like to thank everyone who donated teddies, gifts and time to make this event a huge success.”

Denis and meet his family.

“He is now in his fourth year studying on a bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery course which takes five and a half years to complete.”

Val raises money by hosting two fundraising lunches a year at her bungalow in Lawrence Grove, Newby.

Friends, RNLI shop volunteers and members of Scalby Wives and a Tuesday group which Val has been in for 50 years pay £12.50 and buy raffle tickets.

At the last lunch, a team of three beavered away in the kitchen, cooking up several pots of chicken casserole and chilli con carne, with a vegetarian option.

They served 29 women and a solitary man in three rooms and the conservatory.

The lunch raised £516, which Val described as “a fantastic amount. I have sent half to Ace and the other half will go towards Denis's university fees and living expenses. He sends me receipts for everything.”

Val also holds a strawberry and cream tea every July in her daughter’s garden in Hackness Road for Ace and Denis.

Ace, a small charity based in Cornwall, supports nine schools and 5,000 impoverished children in remote areas bordering the national parks in southwest Uganda. It builds classrooms, latrines, water tanks, etc. In one school, a class has 186 pupils and one teacher.

“Funds need raising to build more classrooms,” says Val, who has visited all the schools. n The Ace website is at www.ace-charity.org.uk.

Fascinating talk on Stonehenge by expert

Words and photo by Dave Barry

A striking picture of ancient times was painted by Stonehenge expert Mark Bowden, at a meeting of Scarborough Archaeological & Historical Society.

Stonehenge, arguably the greatest prehistoric site in western Europe, is at the heart of a landscape rich in other monuments and remains of the Neolithic period and Bronze Age (10,200-600 BCE).

Mr Bowden is a senior investigator with English Heritage, which manages Stonehenge.

He had travelled from his Swindon base to address the meeting at the library and was staying with his sister in Scarborough.

Recent research by Historic England’s landscape archaeologists at Stonehenge, alongside independent research by academic institutions, has led to the identification of previously unknown sites and the re-interpretation of known sites, including Stonehenge.

The research has involved aerialphotographic, lidar, geophysical and laser surveys which have enabled a comprehensive analysis of landscape history.

Mr Bowden’s talk, attended by about 100 people, presented the most significant findings of this research, tracing human influence on the landscape from prehistoric times to the recent past.

The society’s winter/spring lecture series continues with talks on restoring hertage assets such as the old parcels station and the Dean Road chapel, by Chris Hall (4 Jan), Whitby during Queen Anne’s war (1702-13) and the case of Linskill v Yeoman, by Christiane Kroebel (18 Jan), discoveries along the A1, by Steve Sherlock (1 Feb), Albert Strange, by Richard Wynne (29 Feb) and the story of ironstone and railways in the North York moors, by Stephen Croft (14 Mar).

Talks begin at 7.30pm. Admission to nonmembers costs £2. n The society’s website is at www.sahs.org.uk.

Remembering Rosie Phil is presented handing over cheques for £3,422 each to, left to right, hospice fundraiser Penny Campbell, Sarah Whitehead from Saint Catherine’s community Macmillan team, and Julie Short from the Lavender Trust.

Words by Krystal Starkey

A SCARBOROUGH hospice volunteer who died tragically young continues to help others thanks to her husband’s tireless fundraising in her memory.

Phil Yardley chose the second anniversary of wife Rosie’s death to present more than £10,000 to her three favourite charities.

Rosie was only 36 when she lost her battle with breast cancer whilst at Saint Catherine’s, the hospice where she had given her time to help others as a volunteer.

Her devastated husband was determined that her name would live on and started raising money for her three

favourite causes – Saint Catherine’s, Macmillan nurses helping families in the Scarborough area, and the Lavender Trust which supports young victims of breast cancer.

Among highlights from the year were fundraising by staff and customers at the Star Inn, Filey, who tackled the Yorkshire Three Peaks in appalling weather and raised more than £3,000.

Phil’s nephew Alan Woolston and his running partner, Tom Macdonald, also raised more than £2,000 by running the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Phil said that the response had been amazing.

“All I can say is thank you to everyone who helped,” he said. “The beauty is that they are helping the charities Rosie most wanted to support.”

Phil is now making plans for fundraising in 2016 and would love to hear from anyone interested in getting involved or taking one of his collecting tins. He can be contacted via his R2:C2 Facebook page.

Hospice fundraiser Penny Campbell thanked Phil for his donation.

“We remember Rosie fondly at Saint Catherine’s and are so grateful to Phil for continuing to work so hard to raise money for us,” she said.

VISITORS to the Eastfield Community Centre were treated to a festive feast of Christmas spirit over the holidays.

Volunteers at the centre created a brilliant Santa's Grotto style stage area and decorated the rest of the building from top to bottom.

Volunteer Julie Barnett said: “It was great to have such a festive theme at the centre and everyone enjoyed it.

“We had our annual Christmas dinner for

SR January 2016.indd 8

the old age pensioners, a Christmas Fayre and some other parties and events.

“A lot of people commented on how great the centre looked and it is thanks to all the volunteers who put the effort in.

“It is our 50 year anniversary next year and it is the little things such as decorating the centre for Christmas that has meant the centre has lasted so long.

“We look forward to celebrating in 2016.”

Eastfield Community Centre is available for event bookings. n For further details ring Michael Barnett on 01723 583524 or 01723 449309.

FIRST Scarborough Scouts is currently thriving with over 150 members in total.

One of the group leaders, Matthew Jordan, has been involved with the group for many years and said: “It all starts with the beaver scouts from the ages of six to eight through to explorer scouts between 14 and 18 and then onto leader

training.

“We help youngsters learn scouting skills such as camping, hiking, cooking on open fires and in the kitchen, badge work, and above all fun and communication skills.

“We do a lot of fundraising events to maintain our premises on Maple Drive because without it the group would not function.

“I have been part of the group for many years and it has played a big part of my life. My mum Trish has also been hugely involved with the group and it is very rewarding.”

Bryan Lawrence, who started the group, added: “Without the leaders and group helpers we would not be able to continue so a big thank you to all of them.

“We are always looking to welcome more new youngsters into the group and hopefully in 2016 we can progress even more.” n For more details on the group please contact Bryan on 01723 363104.

Dear Editor

THROUGH your paper I would like to take this opportunity to thank pupils from Filey Infants who made decorations for the Filey Tesco Christmas tree.

They did a wonderful job and were invited in store to see the tree and receive a selection box each on behalf of Tesco.

I was overwhelmed by the decorations and can not thank them enough. They also got time to spend with singers from St John's Choir who gave up their time to sing for the Children's Society and raised over £100.

Many thanks to all and Happy New Year!

Dear Editor

WELCOMING in the New Year, we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us in 2015.

We are so grateful for the exceptional help we have had from the community. We know how much hard work goes into fundraising and we truly appreciate every cake baked, every mile run and every tin rattled on our behalf.

We’d also like to thank our amazing volunteers – all 700 of them – who give their time to help us at the hospice in Scarborough, in our community day hospices in Whitby and Ryedale, in our support groups and in all 11 of our shops.

We feel so fortunate to have so many people behind us. It’s because of their support that we can be here, giving our care and medical expertise to help patients and families tread a difficult road together.

Our celebrations marking 30 years of care continue until April. We look forward to an exciting 2016 as we work together to support families going through the toughest of times.

With our thanks and best wishes,

I would just like to thank everyone who supported Kerry Dolan and myself when we ran 100 miles to raise money for Children in Need.

We ran around 16 miles a day and it was very tough but we got through it and raised just over £1,500 for the charity.

We had fabulous support from the likes of the Post Office, Yorkshire Coast Homes who donated £400 and members of Compass Gym who cheered us along some of the way.

It was really tough but we are proud that we managed to get through it and it was incredible how much support we got.

Hopefully we have contributed to making some lives better than they were.

ON behalf of everyone on the Children's Ward I would like to thank the Scarborough Review for organising a very special visit to see us all. The children were overwhelmed with all the lovely gifts they received which Boyes had so kindly donated.

We have been very busy with lots of poorly children and this visit helped to cheer them up no end. They were all very grateful for the presents they received. Everyone has been so kind we can't thank you enough. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the Review's advertisers, without you these occasions wouldn't happen.

We are so lucky to receive so much support from the local people and businesses of Scarborough and we are truly grateful for all your generosity. A special thank you to Peter Spence for arranging the visit and also Robert van der Heljden for giving the children their lovely gifts and both Mark and Barry from Radio Scarborough for making it a fun morning.

MAY I, through your newspaper, publicly thank Matt Wilson and his team at Blue Raptor Signs, for the service and support they have given Scarborough YMCA in relation to our new signage.

Our old signs had lasted very well, but they were 20 years old and we were desperate to replace them with a fresh, modern design which would better reflect the organisation that we are today.

From inception, through planning, to seeing the finished items installed, Matt has supplied a first-class service throughout and we are absolutely delighted with the results.

We are also extremely grateful to those individuals and Trusts that have supported us with the cost of the signs.

As your readers travel along North Marine Road approaching the Castle Road roundabout, I would urge them to look up and admire our ‘floating’ YMCA shining in the darkness.

May I also take this opportunity to wish all your readers, and everyone associated with Scarborough YMCA, a happy and healthy 2016.

Yours sincerely

Steve Marsh Executive Director

Damian Kelly

Dear Editor

MAY I express how delighted I was with the way you helped get the message out about my new business venture in Issue 28 of the Scarborough Review.

It was a great help for me personally but also massive in that it made people aware that they could use our services to stay safer in the winter months.

Gritting and snow clearing are essential at this time of the year and it was brilliant that you helped to let people know there is more assistance.

I hope we can continue to keep people safe and happy over winter.

Kind regards

Damian Kelly

Scarborough Sea Cadets have won top honours for what was described as “an outstanding year’s hard work and achievements”.

They won three awards including the Stephenson trophy, given to the best unit in the eastern area of sea cadets, which has 63 units with 2,600 cadets aged 10-18.

The trophy recognises “all our achievements and effort throughout the year and is the one everyone wants”, said the unit’s commanding officer, Natalie Davies.

“This is testament to the ship’s company’s all-round work ethic, teamwork and commitment, striving towards the common goal to get as many cadets doing activities and gaining experiences they will remember for life”.

The awards were presented at the sea cadets HQ, Training Ship Scarborough, in East Sandgate.

“We had a bumper year, excelling in everything that is the sea cadet experience,” said Natalie.

The unit’s other awards included one for

the best unit participating in offshore activities. “It is for all our time away, sailing on the corps flagship TS Royalist and the corps yachts around the UK. It also takes into account our voyages on the Jubilee Sailing Trust tall ships Lord Nelson and Tenacious,” Natalie said.

“The best training and participation award highlights the competitions we entered throughout the sea cadet calendar, including our debuts in the national band competition at the Tower of London, a silver medal at the national combined regatta and a bronze medal in the national drill competition at HMS Raleigh. This recognises that the ship’s company has been fully engaged in attaining new qualifications across a wide spectrum of subjects, increasing our qualified instructors in dinghy sailing, power boating, rowing and having the only level-2 British sliding seat rowing coach in the area.

“Cadets attended national and area courses throughout the year at various locations including Beckingham training camp, other units and Sea Cadet Training Centre’s Raleigh, Excellent and Caledonia. A cadet went on an international exchange to Canada, spending two weeks with other nationalities, while visiting Canadian naval establishments and ships. Another cadet completed an aviation course, gaining her gold wings and flying solo in a small aircraft.

“I am immensely proud to be the commanding officer of an amazing team that works hard for each other and commits to the common goal to be as ‘smart as a carrot’!”

Author publishes intriguing novel

By Dave Barry

A book set in medieval Prague and at a modern British boarding school has been published by a Scarborough-born author.

The Strangely Surreal Adventures of Sylvia Smetana is by Clare Krojzl (née Johnson), writing as Meira Eliot.

It is described by publishers Completely

SR January 2016.indd 12

Novel as “an intriguing novel which opens in medieval Prague”.

The city is at the heart of Bohemia, where moldavite, a green gemstone, is thought to have been deposited by a meteorite at the dawn of history.

The 21st century protagonist, who wears a moldavite ring, has an instinctive affinity with the city, where her mother was born.

Scarborough RNLI standard bearer Ross Tyson, who witnessed the ECJR tragedy, between crew Chris Moss, left, and Kyle Patel.

Words and photos by Scarborough RNLI press officer Dave Barry

Scarborough RNLI’s annual memorial service took place at St Mary’s Church.

The service marked the 61st anniversary of one of the worst disasters in the lifeboat’s history.

Three crew died when the ECJR lifeboat overturned in the south bay in a terrible storm on 8 December 1954.

In atrocious conditions, with enormous waves and a howling gale, the lifeboat had been at sea all afternoon, escorting fishing boats back to the harbour.

But this is at odds with her burgeoning career at a prestigious girls' boarding school - an institution steeped in hierarchy and eccentricity, described with an irresistible meld of humour and satire.

Woven into the tale are two stories of a struggle to retain sanity. One of Sylvia's colleagues suffers a nervous breakdown from overwork, and her mother develops Alzheimer’s.

Her affection for Prague gradually draws her back again and again and she discovers links between the old city and ancient Etruscan civilisations that instigated the spread of culture and architecture across continents.

She learns that many of the legends stretch back to biblical times, and that there are connections pulling at her roots.

Her life is transformed by the revelations.

Brenda Parker, author of The Cilento Dove and Anya Paris, says the book takes the reader “on a satisfying journey - a journey well worth travelling, providing food for thought long after the book is closed”.

Clare Krojzl has spent most of her adult life in Czechoslovakia (as it then was), the Czech Republic and Germany.

“Although not keen on labels, I would describe myself as a serious humorist”, she says. “I love paradox and contradiction”.

The Strangely Surreal Adventures of Sylvia Smetana is available in paperback and in digital form.

Proceeds from sales are going to the Zest cafe in Sherborne, where Clare lives and works.

Rev Martyn Dunning opens the service With its rescue work complete, the ECJR was engulfed by waves and capsized close to the harbour mouth.

The deaths of coxswain Jack Sheader, second coxswain John Cammish and signalman Francis Bayes devastated their families and numbed the whole town with shock and grief.

Every year since then, the anniversary of the tragedy has been commemorated by a church service remembering those three in particular but also other lifeboat crew who have perished at sea. They include Frank Dalton, who died in a horrific accident in tumultuous seas on 9 December 1951.

MEMBERS of Yorkshire Coast Sight Support were treated to a trip around the picturesque North Bay of Scarborough thanks to Scarborough & Ryedale Community Cycling.

The group were taken round on the specially modified bikes and had a fantastic time, starting from the Sea Life Sanctuary before heading towards the beach chalets and back again.

Rob Brown of Scarborough & Ryedale Community Cycling said: “It is an absolute pleasure to work with groups such as this and it gives them that sense of freedom and enjoyment that they do not always get.

“We can allow them to do this in a safe environment and it was fantastic to see so many smiles on faces.

“Some of them wanted to keep going all day and one person commented that they never thought they would even get the opportunity to ride a bike, but now they had so were made up.”

A spokesperson from Yorkshire Coast Sight Support added: “Everyone came back from the session absolutely buzzing.

They loved it! One of them said he'd been dreading the idea and that if I had rung him the day before to say it was cancelled he would have been happy. But he had such a good time and was glad he went.

Can't wait for the next session.”

The next event for Scarborough & Ryedale Community Cycling is a come and try it event at Cober Hill on Wednesday January 20. Activities start from 10.30am although you can arrive at 10am for tea, coffee and biscuits. There is a buffet between 12.30-1pm before an afternoon session.

time Travel Lamentable destruction of town’s finest buildings Words by Dave Barry

Brunswick Terrace, which fell into disrepair.

Many of Scarborough’s greatest sins were committed at the town hall – in architectural terms at any rate.

The sad fate of many of the town’s most magnificent buildings has been sealed in the shadowy corridors of power.

Two of the best known and most missed were large Victorian hotels, the Pavilion and Balmoral, consigned to rubble in the name of progress in 1973, along with the Cambridge Hotel on the South Cliff.

The Pavilion was probably the grandest edifice to succumb to municipal shortsightedness and planning decisions deemed appalling by a large swathe of the populace.

Built in 1870, the hotel was for many years owned by Tom Laughton, brother of Oscarwinning actor Charles Laughton.

It was designed by architect William Baldwin Stewart, built in dark grey stone and crowned by two French-looking domes, similar to those on top of the Grand Hotel.

In The Streets of Scarborough, Raymond Fieldhouse and John Barrett praised the Pavilion’s “beautifully proportioned and detailed main entrance, ground floor and first-floor balcony. The architectural theme is continued, in white brick, in Pavilion Square”.

The building which replaced it is, by common consensus, easily one of the ugliest in town. A grim, prison-like example of

brutalist postwar architecture, it is the kind of grotesque concrete monstrosity Prince Charles detests.

What’s worse, this eyesore occupies a prominent position, confronting every visitor who arrives by rail and most who travel by road.

The Balmoral stood at the bottom of Westborough, facing Huntriss Row. It was called the Py’d Bull when it was advertised in the York Chronicle of 1772 and later changed its name, first to the Bull Hotel (Aberdeen Walk was called Bull Lane at the time) and then to the Balmoral Hotel.

Substantially rebuilt in 1889, it was described in the Streets booklet as “a huge multi-storey red brick building with curly gables and rather thin but very fancy detailing in yellow terracotta. The style might be called Free Dutch Renaissance”.

The blocky brown and white structure which replaced it is marginally less ugly than Pavilion House.

Roughly halfway between the Pavilion and the Balmoral stood one of the fine buildings that most people above a certain age can remember.

Rowntree’s was an old-fashioned department store containing a warren of rooms, staircases and corridors, and an external arcade running down one side,

Balmoral Hotel and Balmoral Arcade

along York Place. Built in 1882, it was acquired by Debenhams about a century later.

“A large building, in the French Renaissance style”, it had “steep roofs forming turrets at the corners” and “much fancy-work, especially near the top”, according to Fieldhouse and Barrett.

The stone was quarried near Barnard Castle and the rooves were made with green Welsh slate.

When the shadow of the wrecking ball loomed, horrified locals mounted a desperate campaign to save not only the ‘Harrods of the North’, as it had been dubbed, but also an attractive listed row of Georgian buildings, Brunswick Terrace, which stood behind it, but which had fallen into disrepair. Not to mention the Quakers’ atmospheric Friends Meeting House, at the other end of York Place.

To no avail. The town-hall bureaucrats either weren’t listening or blithely dismissed residents’ concerns.

The developers – and bulldozers - took over in the 1990s. The distinguished stone buildings were replaced with a dismal, nondescript red-brick shopping mall that resembles countless other shopping malls around the country with its bland anonymity.

Many people, however, approved of the

architectural sacrifices.

“In the early 70s, conservationists such as like John Betjeman and Nicholas Pevsner were considered cranks”, according to a historic buildings enthusiast, who asked not to be named. “The loss is profound but a lot of people couldn't wait to see the back of Victorian buildings.

“Scarborough has done quite well in comparison to other towns”.

Other notable buildings which have bitten the dust for one reason or another include the Royal Opera House in St Thomas Street, the Floral Hall in Queen’s Parade, Newborough Bar, the town’s hospital in Friar’s Way, the Olympia ballroom on the seafront and many churches: Christchurch in Vernon Road, Ebenezer Baptist Chapel in Longwestgate and Bar Church and the Methodist Jubilee Chapel in Aberdeen Walk.

However, with rapidly declining congregations, many fine old churches have been saved and converted into flats, such as Trinity in the Valley and the temperance chapel in Eastborough.

What’s next in the firing line? Probably the Futurist, once the country’s 13th largest theatre. It looks a mess now but the dirty yellow panels conceal the original carved marble façade, much of which was chipped off so the panels could be fitted.

Half a century Santa Dash success landmark for for amazing Angel Stepney Hill Farm

By Krystal Starkey

Butcher Dave Lovering with Ashley and Nicola

ANGEL, seven, who has lost both her legs walked further than ever before with the Saint Catherine’s Santa Dash.

Angel Sutton, seven, wanted to help Saint Catherine’s where her nana, Pauline Hughes, is a day hospice patient.

There to greet Angel as she raced through the finishing line was her nana who gave her a big hug to thank her.

“I didn’t know if she’d be able to do it but she was fantastic!” Pauline said. “She’s done really well. I’m a very proud nana.”

Angel was born with legs with deformities due to a genetic condition. Her left leg was amputated when she was a baby and she lost her right leg just a year ago after numerous operations.

Her courage led to the hugely successful Legs for Angel appeal to raise money for water activity legs – and Angel took part in the Santa Dash to give something back to the community. She was delighted with her success.

“My legs are aching but I did it all!” she said.

Also taking part and helping Angel with her collection was Becky Garrington, 11, who was walking in memory of her mum and dad who both had help from Saint Catherine’s.

Angel reaches the finishing post and gets a big hug from her nana, Pauline Hughes.

Fundraiser Louise Gravestock, who organises the event, thanked everyone for getting involved, including Compass Gym which does the warm up, and the Royal Parade Cafe which does a very different warm up at the end by supplying lots of cuppas.

“It was a fabulous morning and we’re so grateful to every single person who turned out,” Louise said. “All the money raised goes to patient care.” *Angel is still collecting sponsors via her JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com/ PAUL-SUTTON29

Bakers bring fresh life to Scarborough market Nicola and Ashley Tyson

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

STEPNEY Hill Farm is going to be bigger and better than ever in 2016 as the farm celebrates its 50 year anniversary.

The farm has been in the Tyson family since 1966 when current owner Ashley's grandfather Jim, uncle Alan and dad John were in charge.

In 2016 Stepney Hill boasts much more than a working farm as they have tea rooms, a butchers shop on site and one in Scarborough town, a bakery and a superb barn facility which is available for hire for all sorts of party and celebration events.

Ashley has been running the farm with wife Nicola for several years and he can't wait for 2016.

He said: “We have worked tremendously hard at the farm over the past five years especially and a lot has developed.

“We are extremely proud of the tea rooms and the butchers shop and the fact we have been able to host so many fantastic events in the barn. The Christmas party nights were superb and we can do anything from a wedding to a barn dance.

We provide all the catering and are fully

SR January 2016.indd 18

licensed for alcohol so everything is in place.

“We are also now doing funeral teas in the tea rooms which is something else we can provide. We are always looking for ways to utilise the space we have to the best it can be and we are excited to be celebrating 50 years.

“When my brother James and I first took over on what was a working farm I would never had imagined what we would be able to turn it into and it is wonderful.

“We also like to work with the community in as may ways as possible with our charity open farm events and working with the FirstLight Trust on our allotments.

“By next summer we hope to be fully self sufficient in producing all our own produce which is also extremely exciting.

“And when you add in the fact we are going to do a huge War Games event with Sniper Fitness, then there is not much we are not aiming to do in 2016.

“Nicola and myself would like to wish all our customers a happy New Year and all the best for the forthcoming year.” n For more visit: www.stepneyhillfarm. co.uk

AS THE market prepares for a major transformation, two local bakers are doing their bit to bring something new, exciting and fresh to shoppers.

Jasmine Melville and Jackson Boston have just opened The Local Loaf bakery in the market, selling delicious handmade bread.

The pair specialise in baking hand crafted, additive-free, fresh artisan bread using the best quality ingredients, including locallygrown and milled organic Yorkshire flour.

Jack and Jasmine are passionate about using all natural ingredients, Jasmine said: “The Local Loaf Bakery keeps things simple and upholds the traditional timehonoured methods of baking bread.

“Real bread has depth of flavour and a chewy crust that you just wouldn’t find on a supermarket shelf. We hope that by highlighting our fresher, healthier and more nutritious approach, we can encourage people to take a step away from mass produced bread, towards The Local Loaf for bread made with care and passion.”

Jasmine added: “We’re keen to promote some of the wonderful produce that Yorkshire has to offer on our stall.

“Local is a big part of what we’re about, developing a strong presence in the community is very important to us. We love living in Scarborough and feel that this way of business will truly support and strengthen our hometown”.

20 - Scarborough Review, January- Issue 29

Looking back SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE TAKES A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE PICTURE STORIES THAT MADE IT INTO YOUR FAVOURITE LOCAL PAPER IN 2015.

JANUARY – JUNE THE Scarborough Review was campaigning with the Friends of Scalby & Newby Library to 'Save the Library!'

The popular facility on Scalby Road in Scarborough, played a key role for both the younger and older generations but faced an uncertain future because of cuts by North Yorkshire County Council.

Carol Brett, from the Friends group, said: “We simply can not allow this wonderful library to be shut down because it is so important to so many people.”

THE man who won the Scarborough Review Boro season ticket competition prize was certainly no stranger to the club.

Eric Pickup, 70, of Hovingham Drive, Scarborough, has supported his local club for over 60 years and was even match sponsor at their first ever Football League game against Wolves at the Athletic Ground in 1987.

EXCITEMENT was already mounting in the Borough of Scarborough ahead of the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire.

Councillors and pupils from George Pindar School gathered on the Marine Drive to promote the event in style.

CAYTON man Henry Digby was set to show some staggering pedal power as he prepared to cycle from London to Cayton in the space of a single day.

Henry, 39, who owns Yorkshire Coast Cycle Repairs was taking on the 271.9 mile challenge along with good friend Peter Harker.

The pair went on to complete the challenge successfully and raised money for PSP Association.

SCARBOROUGH railway workers Darren Morley and Steve Whitehead swapped the train tracks for mountain treks as they scaled parts of the world's largest mountain, Mount Everest, to raise money for homeless children.

The duo completed their epic adventure which saw them trek 70 miles through some of the most adverse conditions in the world up to 18,000 feet above sea level in the Himalayas.

SCI-FI Scarborough proved to be out of this world when it rolled into town at the Spa Complex.

Huge audiences enjoyed everything from brilliant exhibitions to live music and films all spread out around the complex over two days.

Guest appearances came from the likes of Danny John-Jules of Red Dwarf fame and Darth Vader himself David Prowse.

The Scarborough stage of the Tour de Yorkshire was welcomed by Councillors David Chance (left), George Pindar School pupils, Cllr Andrew Backhouse (centre) and Janet Deacon of Welcome to Yorkshire (right)

SCARBOROUGH Archers were celebrating after landing at their new home.

The club, which was founded in 1934, opened their new base at a custom built site on Osgodby Lane.

Chairman John Naylor said: “I feel this is the most exciting thing to have happened to Scarborough Archers and am proud to be part of it.”

YH Training Services of Scarborough stepped out in style for their annual awards evening at the Crown Spa Hotel.

Awards were handed out to over 80 people who had completed apprenticeships and other qualifications with YH over the year.

JULY - DECEMBER 22 - Scarborough Review, January- Issue 29

THE Friends of St John's Church in Staintondale were rallying around to keep their church from closing. Over five years ago the group came together after running costs threatened their church to be closed down for good.

Group chairman John Ulliott said: “I am delighted to say that we have managed to save the church from closing.”

THE team representing William Hare were having a ball as they rolled their way to victory at Castle Employment's annual charity bowling event. The action took place at Olympia Leisure and featured 10 teams of local businesses raising money for Saint Catherine's Hospice.

Jo Rothwell, from Castle, said: “It was a fantastic evening with lots of people taking part and having a great time for a great cause.”

A SCARBOROUGH youngster who suffers from a rare genetic disorder was on track for a bright future thanks to friends and family and the North Bay Railway.

Oliver Parnaby, five, was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 when he was just 18 months old. But after mum Danni Parnaby contacted Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence to highlight his condition, Pete helped put a smile on Oliver's face with a special train trip thanks to North Bay Railway.

TONY Jenkins was bringing his rein at Staintondale Shire Horse Farm to an end after 30 memorable years. The flamboyant entertainer and horse breeder had been welcoming visitors to his top attraction for three decades, but Tony and wife Ann decided this would be their final year. Tony said: “We felt that with this being the 30 year anniversary then it would be a fitting way to bring it to an end.”

THE Radio Scarborough ABBA theme night proved to be a big hit at SOBA bar on South Cliff.

The event was set up to raise some extra funds for the town's community radio station. DJ Mark Sinclair organised the night which was all about having fun and enjoying the music of the Swedish superstars.

BOYES stores with the support of local advertisers once again provided a festive treat for youngsters at Scarborough Hospital.

Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence, Boyes stores Marketing Director Robert van der Heijden and Radio Scarborough duo Barry Robinson and Mark Sinclair all popped along to the children's ward to hand out presents kindly sponsored by the local store. n If you would like to order any pictures taken by Pete Spence in the Scarborough Review then please email: pete@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 07815290457.

YOUNG Scarborough motorbike prospect James Tadman was pushing ahead for a top career in the sport after escaping from a potentially fatal accident at Oliver's Mount unscathed.

James was competing at the Steve Henshaw International Gold Cup when the incident, which was caught live on camera and witnessed by thousands on social media, occurred.

Amazingly James escaped with only a few cuts and bruises and was back on his bike the following day competing.

tales from the Cooler Water

by Steve Crawford

AFTER a little consideration I've decided that the best topic for this month is: what the heck did you buy surfers for Christmas? As someone who runs a surf shop, this is a subject that is close to my heart. The big items - like surfboards and wetsuits - are very hard to buy for someone else, so even the most generous gift might not be exactly what the person wants.

So choices like wetsuit boots, gloves or thermal layers are always good (East coast surfers always appreciate warm stuff).

Small items like surf wax, repair kits and spare leashes will always be useful, too.

Finally, most local surf shops also have gift vouchers you can give too. So, that’s my duty to the local surf community fulfilled.

Last month we had a great surf film fundraiser for SAS at Blue Crush bar.

Many thanks to everyone who came down and to Richard for providing the great venue. We raised £144 in donations and raffle ticket sales, all of which contribute to keeping our shores cleaner and healthier.

As we go into the new year, our resolution should be to recycle more, to not flush unnecessary things down the loo and, most importantly, to be careful what you pour down your sink. Over Christmas, millions of cups of solid fats go down our sinks, forming into the ominously named fatbergs which block drains, cause mayhem and smell terrible. Last year, one the size of an aircraft body was removed from a London sewer.

Hope you all had a great Christmas, good waves and happy New year. I'll be open down at the Spa early 2016 so anyone wanting to pop in for surf checks call 07891094976 or email learn_surf_ scarborough@hotmail.co.uk.

Scarborough Strata by

Will Watts

Who says we can’t grow exotics in Scarborough?

AS any keen gardener will tell you, coastal gardening is different to gardening in land. As the old men of the soil would have said "we get a lot of weather here in Scarborough!"

However, that doesn't mean to say we can't grow our fair share of unusual trees and shrubs or that ordinary garden plants won't thrive in sometimes harsh conditions.

A little over a hundred years ago George Lord Beeforth suggested growing roses on the cliffs at the south side of town and the critics had a great time denouncing the idea as impossible. He had other ideas, of course, and by planting The Strawberry Tree hardy trees and specially chosen conifers to "nurse" the roses until they had "got their feet down into the soil" , he proved that our Scarborough weather didn't have to be a bar to planting.

Even before Beeforth, William Bean, a famous nurseryman in the town was growing exotic fruit.

He gardened on the site which now the library on Vernon Road, and grew pineapples - exotic even for today so they must have caused a sensation then!

Mr Ernest Lawrence was a famous market gardener with a nursery on Manor Road and he must have been a celebrity in his day.

Newspapers of the time report of his skill in growing and fruiting banana plants some of which ended up at a famous London hospital where the children were reportedly delighted with the feast! Similarly, Lawrence was an expert at growing oranges, more associated with the sunny climes of Spain or California rather than Scarborough.

Fossil hunting on the beach IT is that time of year when we all make big plans for the next twelve months, we are just the same at Hidden Horizons, so look out for lots of announcements in early 2016, including some new faces, new astronomy sessions, some archaeology and even short break holidays! My own plans for 2016 are much simpler, to spend more time on our fabulous coastline.

I am lucky to be out on the coast as much as I am, often being paid to lead school groups or members of the public on trips, which I love. It does mean however that I rarely get out on my own to either look for fossils or enjoy the spectacular scenery and

SR January 2016.indd 24

wildlife of the North yorkshire Coastline.

So this year I aim to visit some of the coast I have either never been to, or not for many years, it might even lead to some new trips in 2017, now that is forward planning!

Finally for this month Hidden Horizons is now two years old, thank you to everybody who has supported us so far and we look forward to seeing you on a trip in 2016, all the details can be found on www. hiddenhorizons.co.uk. Best wishes to everybody for the year ahead.

George Lord Beeforth Today, as you walk around the town you will be able to see many plants growing away happily that, possibly, 30 or 40 years ago, those same critics would have denounced as far too soft to cope. There is a rather special Strawberry Tree growing on South Cliff - a species that only a few years ago would only be considered suitable for west facing coasts such as in Scotland and Ireland.

But it is defying the odds and producing masses of fruit and flowers even in deepest darkest winter! Arbutus, the botanical name for the strawberry tree, belongs to the heather family and likes to have its roots in a slightly acidic soil. It's an evergreen with slightly leathery leaves, cream coloured flowers and a reddish brown bark. The fruit, from which it gets its common name, may look like a strawberry but I wouldn't recommend the taste!

So, maybe, a good New years resolution for the keen gardener would be to defy those critics who insist that nothing will survive here and try growing that plant that you've always dreamed about but never dared to try!

Happy Gardening!

A musical journey around the world Words and photo by Dave Barry

Diverse or what?

Rootsy duo Mambo Jambo took their audience around the world without leaving Scarborough’s seafront Watermark café.

The musical journey encompassed a Cajun waltz from Louisiana, West African highlife and Chan Chan from Cuba’s Buena Vista Social Club in the first set.

The second featured Brazilian samba, plaintive English folk song, a mardigras song from New Orleans, Those Were the Days from Russia and Tex-Mex polka by Los Lobos.

Some of the tracks were on their latest CD, Stickleback Gumbo.

Mambo Jambo, aka Pete and Frankie, play a plethora of instruments: various guitars, sax, accordion, flute, all sorts of percussion, banjo, penny whistles, etc.

Pete had a mini-emergency just before their set as his right thumbnail broke; he fixed it with superglue.

The couple, who drove up from their Hull home in a camper-van, have been together for 15 years, playing at numerous venues such as Musicport festival and, in October, a Portuguese folk festival.

They exhibit a distinctly wholesome stage persona reminiscent of children's TV presenters, which goes down well with the Watermark audience of about 40, including many regulars.

Mambo Jambo were playing at one of Watermark’s Sunday-night gigs, which continue with the Alastair James Band (3 Jan), the Unkempt (10 Jan), the Adams

Mambo Jambo at Watermark. (To order photos ring 353597; £6 for 8x5.5in, £9 for 10x8in, inc P&P). and Greaves Band (17 Jan) and the Gracie Falls Trio (24 Jan). All start at 6pm.

The café is due to close on 26 January for a few weeks, for renovation.

Kieran Halpin, who had been booked to play on 7 February (6pm), can now be seen at the Cask.

Gig organiser Bob Walker, who controls the sound via his Ipad, says admission will cost £3, on the door.

The weekly gigs are supported by Watermark and Wold Top Brewery.

Top tasty performance of Hansel and Gretel Elinor Lawless and Peter Basham in Hansel and Gretel - Photo by Tony Bartholomew

Review by Archie Parcell

GRIMMS' fairytales usually have their darker side but with a wicked witch, giant mouse, principal boy and girl and a happy ending they can also be a winning recipe for a Christmas show.

So it proved with writer Mike Kenny's unique adaptation of Hansel and Gretel at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Hansel and Gretel is classic story-telling the tale of a poor woodcutter and his nasty wife who, having fallen on impoverished times, decide to abandon their son and daughter in the dark and dangerous forest.

The two children soon fall into the clutches

Families are being invited into the woods this winter to help Stick Man find his way back to his family tree.

The popular character, created by children’s author Julia Donaldson, takes centre stage at a new activity trail in Dalby Forest. The trail begins at the visitor centre, three miles north of Thornton Dale, and takes children on a gentle stroll through the woods. Here and there, boards give instructions on fantastick stick games such as throwing sticks at a stone on the ground or Pooh Sticks, thrown off the bridge over Ellerburn beck. The Stick Man trails are the latest initiative organised by the Forestry Commission in conjunction with Magic Light Pictures, following the award-winning Gruffalo forest tour in Children from Thornton Dale primary school at the start of the Stick Man activity trail 2014. Based on the popular book written

by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, Stick Man has been adapted for TV. A half-hour animation was screened at Christmas. Besides Dalby Forest, the self-led trails can also be found at 23 other Forestry Commission sites across England, emphasising the importance of connecting children with nature.

Aiden Musgrave, 5, plays Pooh Sticks at a bridge over the beck.

of a wicked witch who attempts to fatten up Hansel with the intention of roasting him up for a tasty meal.

Aided and abetted by a giant mouse, Hansel and Gretel hatch a cunning plan and plot their escape before safely finding their way home.

And of course any Christmas show worth its salt has plenty of audience participation, and children from a host of local primary schools were well and truly hooked into the plot as they joined in with the howls, hoots and tweets.

The cast of four play their parts to perfection with Peter Basham as Hansel, Elinor Lawless as sister with attitude Gretel, Jamie Chapman doubling up as father and the giant mouse, and Eithne Browne playing both the nasty mother and wicked witch.

It's all superbly directed by Henry Bell, with excellent costume and set design

by Lucy Weller - mother's tablecloth and tea cosy turning into the witch's dress and hat are clever touches - and the highly enjoyable performance is helped along by composer Oli Steadman's catchy soundtrack.

Forged stamps and corruption in the stamp industry THE SCARBORUGH Philatelic Society enjoyed talks from Chris Phillips about forged stamps he had recently acquired whilst sampling snacks and drinks at the last meeting.

The topic of conversation also explored the corruption fraud and deceit of the stamp industry in the 1980’s.

The next meeting will be on 5 January in Scarborough Library and is a member’s night where members can talk about their other interests. Visitors interested in stamps and postal history are welcome.

THAT Scarborough is special is something North Riding Eagles Volleyball Club appreciate more than most. The North Yorkshire Team of the Year and national junior champions were invited into Scarborough to help bring the fun, non-contact sport of volleyball to the town last year. Since then the club has: *More than doubled its club membership. *Seen local school and college players move rapidly up the levels. *Invented and manufactured an adapted volleyball net; the first of its kind in the

SR January 2016.indd 42

country. Enhancing the club's reputation for leading the way with inclusive volleyball. *Joined with a local university to form an exciting community club. *Worked with SBC, NY Sport and The Volleyball England NGB in making an application for the building of permanent beach volleyball courts in Scarborough.

Meanwhile on court the Eagles NVL team have climbed to pole position in the national leagues second division.

2016 hopefully sees plans to help boost trade and tourism via volleyball start to be implemented.

Head Coach Anthony Laffan is delighted with the way Scarborough has embraced the world's second most popular team sport.

He said: "The town has so much energy and each week seems to bring a new opportunity and new members.

“Scarborough College have similar values to the club they have great vision and appreciate that hard work and quality are what helps drive success. So it has been wonderful for the club to coach so many of their students and already we have seen some of their pupils attend Yorkshire regional training and others take on extra training alongside our international players.”

Meanwhile the University of Hull Scarborough Campus has embraced the chance to offer volleyball to its students.

Everyone is welcome to go along for a free taster session on a Tuesday 6.30pm8.30pm at Scarborough Campus on Filey Road. n For further details contact the club on 01287660835 , Facebook or email:anthony@connectandinspire.co.uk

Carl will discuss his career as a fourtime world super-middleweight boxing champion at The Spa’s Theatre on Saturday 30 April 2016.

There is no doubting that Nottingham’s Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch is one of British Boxing’s all-time greats, whose thrilling toe-to-toe style has captivated fight fans for over a decade.

Never one to shirk a challenge, Carl has been in the ring with some of the biggest names in his division, such as Mikkel Kessler, Lucien Bute and Andre Ward. His two fights against Kessler have gone down in boxing folklore, with ‘The Cobra’ gaining revenge over his great Danish rival in their second fight in 2013.

Froch’s rematch against British rival George Groves in 2014 was witnessed by the biggest ever audience for a domestic clash, with 80,000 fans watching on as Carl stopped his bitter rival with a devastating right hook in the eighth round.

This will be a great opportunity to hear Carl reflect on his glittering career, there will also be comedy, a memorabilia auction and a Q&A. Tickets for ‘An Evening with Carl Froch’ go on sale on Friday 11 December priced at £30, with VIP tickets available at £60 which include front row seats and a photo. n Tickets are available from The Spa’s Box Office 01723 821888 and via: www. scarboroughspa.co.uk

RADIO SCARBOROUGH’S TWELFTH MAN SPORTS SHOW HOST ANT TAYLOR GIVES HIS MONTHLY VIEWS ON THE WORLD OF SPORT. THIS MONTH SOMETHING A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME.

Taylor made for cycling challenge ALL though out my years I have enjoyed playing most sports, from football with mates and the world's oldest football club Sheffield FC, to a really weird game of badminton with my mum in front of World Cup winner Bobby Charlton.

There is one sport I've always wanted to do and that's cycling, so a few months ago I met up with Rob Brown from Scarborough & Ryedale Community Cycle at an event at The Street.

We had a chat about they many types of adapted cycles he had on offer, I saw this yellow hand crank bike and I hopped onto it, it was perfect. I've always wanted to do cycling, if you don't know me I have two conditions that like to stiffen up my joints and have I been told by a few physios that cycling would be the best thing for my joints.

So after that I met up with Rob again and we spent a morning riding up and down the North Bay area of Scarborough, this was something I enjoyed and really felt some freedom. I liked cycling at a young age, I even got an adapted cycle that I loved riding around Eastfield with my brother and friends, but one day it got stolen from the garage we used to have near where the old Strongwood pub was. It was returned to me but by then the whole fun

of cycling had gone and I never sat on a bike again.

So after what Great Britain have done in the Olympics, getting up early to get to York to watch seconds of a stage at the Grand Depart and the Tour de Yorkshire it was time to get back in the saddle and have ago again. I do really wish I never left it so long as my inner child loved been free again. The wind was not in my hair as that's near enough all gone but it has been awesome riding on a bike again.

So a few weeks had passed and Rob from SRCC got in touch with me asking if I'd like to come down and ride about in front of BBC cameras. I went down and was interviewed with BBC's Carla Fowler and talked about my new love of cycling. In 2016 I want to do two events.

The first event is to do the three mile cycle in Sheffield for Sports Relief and I've always wanted to ride the Cinder Path from Whitby to Scarborough and would love to raise money for a local charity. If you would like to join me or help in this quest please get in touch by email: ant@ radioscarborough.co.uk or tweet @TwelfthManRadio

WOMENS Walking Football has come to Scarborough.

Barons Walking Football for men at Scarborough Rugby Club has proved a big success and Vanessa Holloway decided to set up a group for females too.

She said: “We saw how well the men were doing with their walking football so decided to give it a go ourselves.

“It is a fun way of meeting people and improving both stamina and fitness at the same time. It is also a lot of fun too.”

The sessions takes place on a Monday morning from 9.10 am and runs until 10am at Silver Royd.

Vanessa added: “None of us had any football training before but have been coached by Colin and Jim. We laugh a lot and walk a lot and given that our average age is mid-50s, we are living proof that you can try a new sport at any age. Please come and join us and have a great time.” n For more information contact Vanessa on: 07980451797.

A practice session at the swimming pool.

Words and photos by Dave Barry

Scarborough swimming pool turns into a kayak-lake on Sunday evenings.

The town’s kayak/canoe club give their vessels a good clean in order to learn to kayak safely.

About a dozen members practise capsizing, capsize prevention, eskimo rolls and rescues in the safe confines of the pool.

Martin Stirling, who helps run the club, explains the differences between kayaks and canoes.

“Kayakers face forward, legs outstretched, using a doubleblade paddle,” he says. “In a canoe, the paddler faces forward, kneeling, using a single-blade paddle”.

Scarborough Canoe Club should really be called Scarborough Canoe & Kayak Club, as its 45 members use both.

Most have their own boat but at the pool sessions the club supplies the kayaks.

New members are welcome at the Sunday sessions, which start at 7.45pm. They resume on 10 January and cost £11 an hour or £8.50 for full-time students and other concessions.

It’s a friendly club, open to anyone who wants to try canoeing and/or kayaking.

“We are out on the sea and rivers throughout the year,” says Martin. n Link: Scarboroughcanoeclub.org.

Drive-in competition success

Past Lady Captain Karen Blake presenting cheque to Mrs. Joan Forbes SOuTH Cliffs’ new Lady Captain, Chris McMahon, managed to stage her DriveIn Competition two days late after snow had closed the course on the original date but as soon as the weather relented the ladies were out and played in a 13 holes Greensomes Competition. The Lady Captain led the way with a very impressive drive off the first tee. There

was a welcome warmer on offer at the half way house in the way of hot delicious soup. The competition winners were Clare Thompson and Gill Skingle, in second place were Sandra Massender and June Syrett, third were Maureen Jamieson and Anna Mollon and fourth Sheila Thorpe and Moira Cooper all of whom won beautiful Hampers.

The ladies also held their Xmas Coffee Morning and on the charity front the immediate Past Captain Karen Blake presented a cheque for £834 to Mrs. Joan Forbes the Area Fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support. Karen had chosen Macmillan Cancer Support as her Lady Captains charity and this fabulous amount was raised during her year in office mainly by the ladies section doing various things e.g. raffles, donations, challenges for Lent and included a welcome donation from the Lions Club, a further unidentified donation has been received subsequently to lift the total raised to £900. Richard Locking and the EGGs section also raised £54 for the same charity but that had been handed over the week before.

Steve Powell driving off at the first tee watched by some of the members SOuTH Cliff Golf Club have installed their new Club Captain Stephen Powell, the new man, drove off the first tee in traditional style, see picture. Steve, handicap 19, has lived in Scarborough since 1974 and has been a member of SCGC since 2001 and was Rabbit Captain in 2013. For many years he taught physical education at Raincliff School during which time he was heavily involved in Schools football, acting as team manager, Secretary and Chairman of Scarborough and District Schools FA. He also played for Scarborough Rugby Club 1st XV between 1974 and 1982 and subsequently refereed for a number of years. Steve played cricket occasionally for Oriel CC and regularly represented Scarborough Lawn Tennis Club in the yorkshire League. His credentials as an all-rounder also extended to sailing,

having taken part in three North Sea races to Holland and he still manages to ski regularly despite the ravages of time which have caused him to have surgery on both knees. He feels very lucky to live in a town such as Scarborough and thoroughly enjoys the experience of playing at South Cliff and has enjoyed helping and encouraging the junior section over the past year. He commented that “It will be a great honour to be Captain of this great club during the coming season, particularly as we are due to co-host the English Mens’ Amateur Championship in conjunction with Ganton Golf Club in July. This will involve most of the up and coming English golfers gracing our course, a number of whom who will no doubt become household names in years to come”.

Weather plays havoc

So when the action restarts on Saturday 23rd January at Malton & Norton the league placings will still be showing as 1st Scarborough North Cliff 795; 2nd Filey 797; equal 3rd Bridlington, Scarborough South Cliff & Malton & Norton 802; 6th Whitby 811; 7th Driffield 814; 8th Kirkbymoorside 827; 9th Flamborough 866.

THE SCARBOROuGH & District Golf Alliance have been unfortunate with the weather over recent weeks to the extent they have lost two fixtures from their calendar due to waterlogged courses. That has resulted in the halfway standings being decided over just three meetings.

Tony Quinn winner of Division 1 NORTH Cliff started the Xmas cheer early when they held their annual Turkey Trot Competition but merry it was not for the players as they had to contend with a strong blustery wind and occasional

showers. Although the going was tough there were some good scores and Division one proved to be very competitive, Tony Quinn (13) took first place after a count back. He and Trevor Bayes (13) both posted 39 points but Tony edged it with a back nine of 19 points to Trevors’ 18. One shot further back was Jim Hughes (6) who produced a very tidy round, scoring 19 points on each nine for a total of 38 points to claim third place. Division two produced the best score of the day when Kenny Eddon (16) made a great score of 41 points. Kenny started with a 4 point birdie and kept the momentum going to post 20 points at half way and was one better coming back. Paul Marsh (16) claimed second spot with 37 points and Keith Bevan was third on 35 points. All the prize winners were rewarded with vouchers to exchange at master butcher Mark Nockles’ establishment.

BoRo REViEW BY Will BAinES

Boro boys must battle back in 2016 SCARBOROuGH Athletic need to pick up the pace in 2016 to improve on a season that has seen them pick up just two league wins since August.

Recent defeats to Burscough, Ossett Albion and Droylsden have left Boro sitting in a worrying eighteenth place heading into Christmas, with pressure growing on Boro joint managers Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot to turn things around.

Despite the downturn in form in the league, Boro have progressed in the Integro Doodson League Cup, starting December with a 2-0 win over Ossett Albion. Alex Metcalfe gave Boro an early lead as he found the back of the net from the edge of the area, with Ryan Blott making it 2-0 by nodding in at the near post just before half-time.

After the cup success Boro were brought back down to earth with a 3-0 defeat at home to Burscough. The game started in dramatic style as Boro defender Paul Robson was sent off in the first minute for a professional foul. From the resulting free-kick Paul Williams found the back of the net via a slight deflection to give the travelling side the opener.

The lead was doubled two minutes into the second half when Drew Lewis slid in after Will Jones had seen his initial shot well saved by Boro keeper Pat Weaver.

Burscough were then reduced to ten men when Michael Monaghan was given his marching orders, but the away side did not let up and grabbed a third goal when Paul Williams crossed in from the right for Will Jones to nod in at the near post to send Burscough up to fourth place.

After the wet weather caused the Lancaster City game to be postponed, Boro came up against Ossett Albion again, this time in the league on the 15 December.

Boro were up against it at half-time,

Ryan Blott was on target against Ossett Albion trailing 1-0 as Nick Matthews capitalised on an error from Athletic keeper Pat Weaver as he dropped a ball in from the left right at the feet of the Ossett striker to fire in.

After the break Boro rallied and equalised through Tom Corner as he collected a corner, steadied himself then curled into the bottom corner from 15 yards out.

With the Seadogs looking set for a draw, they were dealt a cruel late blow as Rikki Paylor crashed in a delightful long range strike with the last kick of the game to win 2-1.

After conceding so late to come away with nothing, Boro travelled to Droylsden desperate for a positive result before Christmas. There were no presents given out by the home side though as Domaine Rouse cracked in from just outside the

Boro joint boss Paul Foot (left) faces a difficult 2016 area in just the third minute to give Droylsden an early lead, but Fernando Moke gave Boro hope as he ran through the middle of the park, rounded Droylsden keeper Steve James and finished with style to make it 1-1. It was not long before the Bloods retook the lead though as the impressive winger Billy Cregg showed his class to streak clear of the Boro offside trap and finish with style to make it 2-1.

In the second half Boro were put to the sword as the Bloods added two more goals with James Hampson and Lee O’Brien to make it 4-1 in the pouring rain.

Despite a late consolation from Joe Fox, Boro fell to another defeat and slipped further down the table going into the crucial Christmas and New year period.

SuNSET Health and Fitness are still shining brightly as they celebrate 30 years in business.

Owner Andy Walters started the business in 1985 when it was based behind the Talbot at the back of Queen Street.

After a short spell there and a move to what is now Sainsbury's Local on South Cliff, Andy landed at his Belle Vue Street base where he has remained ever since.

Andy, a keen body builder and fitness fanatic from a young age, said: “Who would had thought 30 years after starting up we would still be going strong and have such a fantastic gym and fitness facility that we have now.

“I am very proud of what has been achieved over the years and we have always managed to adapt to changing attitudes towards exercise and working out, and there is so much variety and choice for people nowadays.”

One of the main things Andy has seen change is that people don't always have the time once afforded to them to work out as much these days because of busy work and home lifestyles.

He added: “We have introduced the Busy Bodies 20 Minute Results Workout. It is the ideal way to lose fat, increase you aerobic capacity and burn calories in less time. It is fantastic for people who have
