Friends group keep the faith to save local church Words & picture by Pete Spence - pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE Friends of St John’s Church in Staintondale have rallied 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. They have put on many successful events to raise funds and this has kept the church alive. Group chairman John Ulliott, 75, said: “Around five years ago the vicar of the church Liz Kitching called a meeting with locals to stress the fact that the church could not keep going. “We decided to set up the friends group to try and raise money to keep what is an important part of the community going. “The likes of Andrea Darrington, Ann Murray,
Freddie Drabble, Trish Baron, Jane Owen and Charles White were all keen to get involved and have done some fantastic work. “The church is very personal to me as my mum and dad were the first couple to be married there in the early 1930s. Fred and Bella were my parents and I grew up in this community. I am delighted to say that we have managed to save the church from closing. I am sure with the continued hard work that the church can continue for many more years to come.” The church ran a special family folk afternoon last month and Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence was invited along.

IT’S not every day you walk into a supermarket and are offered a noggin of punch and a fruit kebab. Filey Tesco pulled out the stops when they ran Beach Bonanza for charity. It was part of the chain’s national initiative in aid of Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation. Staff wore garlands and summer clothing, the store was gaily decorated and ‘beach boys’ played. Children indulged in games and crafts and entered a hula-hoop competition.

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
THE Friends of St John’s Church in Staintondale held a very successful family folk afternoon as part of their fundraising efforts. There was lots going on including music from Marion Terry and David Swann, plus games outside and refreshments. Andrea Darrington, from the group, said: “It was a lovely event and lots of people got involved. “The music from Marion and David was fantastic and all who came along had a good time. “This was another event that we put on to raise funds for this wonderful church and it is great that so many people support us.” The church has been saved from closure mainly thanks to the efforts of the Friends group and they have more events coming up.
On Sunday September 13 they are holding the Red Neck Games at The Falcon Inn on the Whitby Road. This event includes activities such as tugof-war and lots of outdoor fun in one of the fields belonging to The Falcon. Falcon owner Louise Mansfield said: “We Ann murray (left) and Jane owen are in are happy to be supporting Staintondale charge of the scones church to keep it open as it has been the host of many a service, albeit happy and sad. It is a lovely traditional church and it holds various events and fundraisers to help maintain it to a certain level.

No Wrong Door ‘Choose to foster, change a life’ Open the door to a new opportunity and open the door to a young person. Do you live in North Yorkshire? Does your home have a spare room for the sole use of a young person? If so, North Yorkshire County Council is recruiting High Needs Supported Lodging Hosts in the Harrogate and Scarborough areas. If you enjoy making a difference to the lives of young people, then becoming one of our hosts is a great way to earn an additional income. It’s not as hands-on as fostering, so suits people who may be working full or part-time. As a host you are not offering a permanent home, but a stepping stone somewhere for a young person to stay until they’re ready to live on their own.

Actor recites gospel on coastal walks Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE gospel according to Mark will be recited by an actor on a series of coastal walks calling at Scarborough next week. Over eight days beginning this Sunday, John Actor John Slater as St mark Slater will walk two or three miles a day, starting at Withernsea and ending up in Whitby. He has memorised the 16,000 words in the gospel’s 16 chapters and will read one at each of the 16 villages and towns he walks from and to. For example, he will read chapter 11 at St John the Baptist Church in Cayton at 10am on Friday 10 July. He will then walk to St James’s Church in
Scarborough, where he will read chapter 12, at about 2pm. The next day, he will read chapter 13 at St Mary’s Church in Cloughton before walking to Staintondale Church. Each reading will take about an hour. John says: “When Mark told his story about 2,000 years ago, there would have been no shortage of eager listeners because, if nothing else, it was a really amazing story about a man who was, to all intents and purposes, an ordinary carpenter’s son from Nazareth who did and said some pretty extraordinary things.” The Eight Day Mark project seeks to emulate the idea of a travelling storyteller, exchanging the coast of Syria for the coast of yorkshire. John will welcome people to join him for the walks and readings. He hopes the project will be filmed and submitted to TV stations, screened at churches, schools and other venues, and sold as a DVD in aid of the Red Cross in Syria.
New local support group for ADHD sufferers Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
A BRAND new support group for ADHD sufferers has been started in Filey. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a group of behavioural symptoms that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Symptoms of ADHD tend to be first noticed at an early age, and may become more noticeable when a child’s circumstances change, such as when they start school. Most cases are diagnosed in children between the ages of six and 12. The symptoms of ADHD usually improve
with age, but many adults who are diagnosed with the condition at a young age will continue to experience problems. The ADHD Support Group will cover Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington and surrounding areas and will be held fortnightly on Fridays at the Filey Children’s Centre on Padbury Avenue in Filey between 1-2.30pm (term time only). The next two meetings are Friday July 3 and 17. The support group is for adults only as there is no creche available at the present time. n For further details ring Lisa on 07852301955.

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IN February this year a tragedy occurred at Scarborough’s South Bay when 32-yearold local man Andrew McGeown drowned at sea after trying to save his beloved pet dog Arnold who had been swept out with the tide.

Named The Pink Princess Party for Andrew’s love all things pink, the day will see the Pirates face off against Sharlston Rovers plus many more activities including a welly wanging competition, best dressed princess competition, face painting, cake stall, raffle and much more. Andrew’s family have set up ‘Andrew McGeown – The Legacy’ in his memory and will be doing more fundraising events. The action gets under way at Eastway, Eastfield from 12.30pm with the Pirates second team playing Cutsyke Raiders, and everyone is welcome.
Call for foster carers to join innovative scheme
Cllr Janet Sanderson NORTH yorkshire County Council is currently recruiting new hub community family foster carers and supported lodging hosts as part of its No Wrong Door initiative - a ground-breaking programme to radically improve the life chances of some of the county’s most vulnerable and challenging young people. The council is looking for people with direct experience of working with or fostering young people with complex and challenging behaviour, or troubled backgrounds. Carers are required in both the Harrogate and Scarborough areas and they will form part of a professional team.
As members of the wider ‘No Wrong Door’ hub team, carers will be able to access excellent training and on-going support. But more importantly, they will also have the chance to make a real difference to the life of a teenager. The county council was awarded over £2m of government funding, matched by £4 million of its own, to develop this radical initiative. Through the No Wrong Door programme each adolescent in the care system is given one key worker supported by a single team of trusted and skilled workers who will stick with the young person through thick and thin to access the right services at the right time and in the right place to meet their need. It’s a tough love approach for young people who have had a lifetime of experiencing rejection and failure. “We believe strongly that relationships are at the heart of everything we do with young people and we build these up by offering stability and consistency of support, in order to gain their trust. Trust is essential,” said Cllr Janet Sanderson, North yorkshire’s Executive Member for the Children and young People’s Service. n more information on these positions is available at: www.northyorks.gov.uk/ nowrongdoor

THE yorkshire Coast Model Flyers have been enjoying their sessions in the sun at Oliver’s Mount. The club have taken advantage of the sunny weather whenever possible to fly their aircraft from the bottom field. They have a runway set out on the grass which allows the craft to take off and land safely and their craft can be seen in action throughout the summer months. Club secretary Iain Hale said: “It has been
terrific to get up to Oliver’s Mount and fly from there because it is an ideal setting with plenty of room. “When the conditions are sunny and winds are light there is nothing better than flying these wonderful aircraft.” The group is made up of enthusiastic model flyers with many years experience in flying all types of model aircraft. Some of the members still hold private pilot licences too. The club was formed in 2014 by John Hill, Iain Hale, Gordon Lockwood and Maz Bairami. Affiliated
Iain hale at the controls to the British Model Flying Association they adhere to their codes of practice on the safe operation of aircraft and safety procedures. Iain added: “In the first year of operation the club was awarded a grant by Sport England to initiate their Flying for All Project. This project is designed to take the sport of model flying out to a wider audience to engage and encourage new participants into the hobby.” So far the Club has worked with 739 Squadron Air Training Cadets to enable
Iain prepares one of the aircraft them to experience the construction of two training aircraft and, under the supervision of the club’s experienced instructors, fly the aircraft.

I gave a speech on the night, but got a bit emotional and forgot to thank some important people including my sister-inlaw, Vanessa, for making cupcakes and a celebration cake. I also forgot to cut and distribute the cake. Oops! We’ve had cake coming out of our ears at home! I have a fantastic new website – www.jessicaredland.com - thanks to the talents of Phil Welbourn of RV Solutions.
I gave Phil a brief and he delivered way above my expectations. If anyone wants an exceptional website, please contact phil.welbourn@rv-solutions.co.uk. I swear that the excitement of the day – and probably the celebratory wine – turned my brain to mush, so I hope he’s reading his belated thanks here! My biggest thanks have to go to my husband, Mark. He’s been incredibly supportive. I work full-time and run a Brownie pack. I therefore spend most of my ‘spare’ time locked away in my office, tapping at my keyboard. He never complains, and neither does my daughter, Ashleigh. I’m very lucky to have their support. Finally, thanks to anyone who has read, reviewed, and/or promoted Steven or my debut novella, Raving About Rhys. your support is invaluable. Jessica Redland - Scarborough
I just wanted to to take this opportunity to say that I have had some excellent press coverage over the past few months in the Scarborough Review. A huge thank you to Pete Spence who continually supports Filey and the surrounding areas and not just Scarborough. The Scarborough Review is a fabulous family community newspaper and free for us all to enjoy. Please look out for more of the work we are doing at Tesco with the local community in future editions. But make sure to pick one up quickly as they soon get snapped up! Tracy Flynn Tesco Filey Community Champion

Dear Editor
Wheatcroft Preschool would like to say a huge thank you to parents and families for contributing to a present for one of our ex-children. Olly Parnaby (currently a pupil at Wheatcroft School) has a condition called Neurofibromatosis Type 1 which is a rare condition which affects approximately one in 2500 babies.

The victorious William hare team
Dear Editor,
I would like to say a big congratulations to staff from William Hare who won the Scarborough Dragon Boat Race at Wykeham Lakes. William Hare 1, one of two teams the engineering company entered, beat 22 other entrants to win the event overall with the fastest time after three heats. William Hare has very kindly made Saint Catherine’s its charity of the year and was raising funds for the hospice at the successful boat race, run by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers. Louise Gravestock Saint Catherine’s Hospice Fundraiser have made numerous trips to hospital in Leeds to monitor his condition and a few weeks ago his family shared a video on Facebook to raise awareness of his condition. His sister, Nancy (aged three years) has more recently been telling friends and staff about Olly’s holiday to hospital to mend his wiggly back (scoliosis). As a team, after looking after Olly before he went to school last September, we felt we would like to do something. We wrote to our families and between the staff and committee team started a collection and some toys for Olly for when he is in hospital. Many of the families donated money or gifts. Gifts were very well thought of too, such as small lego characters, sticker books, colouring, jigsaws - all things Olly could do in a hospital bed. We were also able to get him a £25 iTunes voucher and a £25 Amazon voucher to spend from his hospital bed. Preschool children wrapped the presents and made him a card and these were presented at a party. Thank you again to families for their kindness and generosity. Amanda Campbell Wheatcroft Preschool manager

Duo cycle 247 miles in a day for charity Words and photos by Dave Barry
AFTER cycling for most of the previous 24 hours, two exhausted men were glad to cross the finishing line. Henry Digby and Peter Harker set off from Westminster at 5pm, in rush-hour traffic, and arrived at Cayton, where Henry lives, at 3pm the next day. The pair had cycled 247 miles through the night, often in pouring rain, with only 40 minutes’ sleep in the back of their support van on the side of the road. They were raising money for the PSP Foundation, which supports people with progressive supranuclear palsy. Henry's wife Steph’s mum has the condition. Last year, Henry, 39, and Peter, 35, did the same road trip, but the other way round, from Cayton to London, raising £2,500 for St Catherine’s Hospice. Steph, Peter’s wife Linzi, their children and friends and supporters gathered at the McCain sports club near Cayton to welcome the team back on a wet, grey afternoon, the air full of the smell of potatoes being processed at the nearby McCain factory.

Staff and residents at St Bernadette’s (to order this photo, ring 353597).
NATIONAL care home open day was marked by many Scarborough care homes. The nationwide initiative encouraged care homes to invite local people to see what care and services were available, and to create links between homes and the communities they serve. For example, St Bernadette’s in Trinity Road accommodates 21 residents. The staff consists of seven nurses including acting manager Karen Joans-Lewis, 18 healthcare assistants, a housekeeper, two cleaners, two
A CENTENARIAN flicked the switch to turn on new motion sensor lighting at a housing estate in Scarborough. The lighting system is part of £360,000 worth of refurbishments at Cedar Court in Pollard Gardens, Sandybed. A ceremony to mark the completion of the work was attended by dozens of Hanover Housing residents including the oldest. Winnie Crosby, 103, was joined by the mayor and mayoress, Tom and Ros Fox, when she cut a celebration cake. Cedar Court has been transformed over the last few months, says a spokesperson.
The dining room and communal lounge have been refurbished and new sensory lighting and electrical fittings have improved the building’s energy efficiency, reducing electricity bills. Tom Brown, Hanover Housing Association’s director of Extra Care and Services, says: “This impressive retrofit programme is the result of meticulous planning, creativity and fantastic partnership working. We believe these improvements will benefit residents now and in the future, making Cedar Court an attractive and affordable place to live.” Opened 11 years ago, Cedar Court has 37 selfcontained, one-bedroom apartments and four two-bedroom apartments.

AS the summer holidays approach, thoughts may be turning to a fossil hunting trip for the family. So here are a few top tips from myself and also other people who lead
trips on the coast. Plan ahead and stay comfortable, be prepared for wind or rain (even in summer), wear strong shoes or boots, carry a drink and snacks, sun-cream etc. you may like to take a fossil spotting chart with you and something to wrap your

The home’s open day featured a raffle, crafts such as clay modelling, art therapy, manicures from Nails by Chardonnay, afternoon tea, live music from Midas Touch and an Alzheimer’s Society demonstration entitled Singing for the Brain. The other local care homes which took part included St Cecilia’s, Priceholme and Scarborough Hall.

Conference on environmental art, science and activism
Winnie Crosby, 103, with the mayor and mayoress (to order this photo, ring 353597).
SPECIALISTS in a variety of environmental disciplines attended an international ecology conference at Hull University’s Scarborough campus. The ecologists – from the UK, France, Italy, the USA and Canada – took part in Network Ecologies, exploring relations between environmental art, environmental science and environmental activism. Over three days, the delegates attended presentations with titles such as Interactive memory: fish and (memory) chips by Professor Bob Pritchard of the University of British Colombia in Canada; and Resounding Mulgrave: a case study in composing place, by Dr Rob Mackay, Dr John Wedgwood Clarke and PhD candidate Tariq Emam of the host university. The Apocalypse Project: Future Cities Under Climate Change involved eco-fashion and perfume by artist Catherine young. The eco-fashion was a black evening dress made with recycled materials in the Philippines. It was modelled by Dr Hélène Schmutz of Savoie University in the French alps, along with a sash reading Miss Planet 2016. The perfume represented smells that will disappear as a result of manmade climate change. The conference dinner was held at Pomodoro Italian restaurant in Newborough.

finds in (old newspaper and some zip-lock bags are great). Stay safe on the seashore, always go fossil hunting on a falling tide, keep clear of crumbly cliffs and take care of slippery rocks – especially smooth surfaces covered in a green algae. Always tell somebody where you are going and what time you will be finished, don’t rely on a mobile phone signal. your safety is your own responsibility! Look for tiny pieces among the beach pebbles, not just big stones. Often crinoid stems or belemnites can be as small as your little fingernail. Fossils are rarely found by breaking open rocks randomly, instead look for pebbles that are an unusual shape, or have some different patterns on them. At some geologically important locations hammering is not permitted so check with someone in the know (like a local fossil shop or museum). Often the best fossils are found without hammers anyway.
Many fossils, especially larger ones or those preserved in the wave-cut platform, cannot be collected without breaking them, so leave them there and take a photograph. Responsible fossil hunting plays an important part in palaeontology and geology. Irresponsible collecting is exactly that and helps nobody. If you do find something that you want identified then contact a museum, or feel free to get in touch with me via the website.The most important thing to record is where you found a fossil, that is the one thing an expert can never tell you! There are a number of people and organisations that run trips along our coast so a quick google search will reveal all. Our own trips are already underway for the year and can be found via www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk.

Bid to stop Filey church spire being demolished Words and photo by Dave Barry
CONTROVERSy rages in Filey over the future of the town’s clock tower – which has been a distinctive feature on top of the Methodist church since it was built in 1876. Some church members are urging demolition because of costly repairs while others want the spire and clock to be kept as a landmark. The latest repair work on the spire and clock tower has landed the church with a bill for more than £15,000 - as a result of of an inspection carried out every five years. Now, an appeal has been launched at the request of a church member who claims that many people in Filey would like to contribute to the £7,700 still to be found. A fundraising event will take place in the Union Street church from 9.30am on Saturday 18 July when bacon butties will be on sale along with tea, coffee and biscuits. Church treasurer Mel Sykes says: “The church has received donations totalling £7,226 towards the cost. “The largest amount, £3,000, has come from the Filey Festival of Music, which is held annually in the church and, in addition, Filey Lions have contributed £2,500, Filey Area Committee has produced £996, Filey Town Council £400, Filey Rotary £250 and individuals £80,” he explained. Mr Sykes said that even when no work is needed, the cost of an inspection of the spire and tower is £300. The clock is
maintained by Scarborough Council. The Gothic-style church, which cost £5,000 to build, was noted for its turret and spire reaching a height of 90ft - remarkable for a small town. Later, when enough money had been raised, it became one of the few chapels in yorkshire to have a spire clock with four faces. Fundraising has become second nature to church members. Money for rebuilding had to be found following a devastating fire in January 1918. The church was reopened five years later. Filey’s methodist church (to order this photo, ring 353597).
THE Filey Safety Fun Day is all set to take place on Sunday August 2 at Country Car Park.The annual event is all set up to raise funds for the yorkshire Air Ambulance, which should be making an appearance. Also on the day there will be displays from the Fire Brigade, a display from the police, Barry Robinson of Radio Scarborough hosting, plus magic shows, bouncy castles

BASKETBALL has bounced its way into Scarborough's yMCA and is proving to be a real success. Under the guidance of new youth Worker Dave Hammond, the basketball club is one of several new clubs and initiatives being launched to provide youngsters in the town with something to do. Dave said: “I started work here in April and there is so much to go at and there are a lot of positive things happening. “Basketball was one of the things we decided to give a try and so far it has been popular, and we are seeing new players come along every week. “So far it has been mainly teenagers but if any older people want to come along too they can; the facilities here are for everyone.” Dave, who also runs the Ippon Judo Club in Scarborough, is keen to get even more youngsters off the streets and occupying themselves with something positive. He added: “I think for a lot of the youngsters they don't know what is out there for them and hopefully I can help let them know. We have so much going on

Know Your Onions!
ornamental onions growing in a border THE Muck and Magic Garden has been awash this spring with tulips, daffodils, crocuses and aconites all flowering their socks off in turn from February through
FOLLOWING his dad's passing, just two days after Christmas in 2013, Scarborough songwriter Neil Fitzpatrick wrote and released a song called Apart, and has since raised almost £13,000 for Cancer Research UK with the track. The ballad, which won the prestigious 2014 UK International Songwriting Contest, and was hailed by Sir Alan Ayckbourn as 'a fine song, beautifully executed and performed,' is still raising money for the charity. Neil's ambitious plans for reaching his £25,000 fundraising target include the first Apart Black Tie Charity Ball, which will be held on Friday 2nd October at
to the end of May. It's been a wonderful display helped by the kind seasonal weather but now it's all over for another year and the perennials and flowering shrubs in the garden are taking centre stage. However, the savvy gardener will know that summer is just as good a season for bulbs as spring and there's plenty to choose from to see us through to autumn. Lilies are always a favourite and are easy to grow either in the border or in large pots. Make sure the soil is well drained and if you are growing on a patio or balcony splash out on some John Innes loam based compost. It may be a little more expensive than multi purpose but will sustain your plants for far longer and is well worth the investment. Gladioli, Camassias and Galtonias (summer snowdrops) are all worth finding a spot for as are arum lilies (Zantedeschias) and the exotic pineapple plants (Eucomis). In the Muck and Magic garden this season top marks and gold stars have been awarded to the ornamental alliums, onions to you and me. The variety we grow is Purple Sensation which grows about three feet tall so is excellent in the middle or at the back of the border. Globemaster is also a first class addition to the garden
The Crown Spa Hotel in Scarborough. The event, which will feature a live performance of the song by Michelle Lawson, sold out in just six hours. Neil said: "To be honest, after a year of trying to push CD sales, I was all out of ideas. Then one night over a beer, my great friend Brett McMann came up with the idea of holding a glitzy event where guests would pay £40 a ticket for a three course dinner, live music and entertainment. I was reluctant, given my experience of trying to shift 5000 CDs, but amazingly we managed to sell out the event in one afternoon!" n Apart is onsale for £5 at www.apartsong.co.uk or at www.facebook.com/apartsong and ALL proceeds go to Cancer Research UK.
and is very happy in pots on the patio or balcony. They look especially good when grown through low growing perennials such as hostas. There are many varieties of ornamental alliums to choose from and now is the time to be browsing through the plant catalogues ready to plant in autumn. These versatile plants will not only give you great colour and form in the garden but the seed heads will last well into September and October giving extra interest in autumn. Finally, it's not too late to enter your patch into the All Muck and Magic Garden
COmPETITION. If you think your petunias are prize winning or your dahlias will dazzle the judges then why not give it a whirl and show the world how proud you are of your garden. There is something for everyone including balcony, patio gardeners and those who make the most of their yards with pots and containers. you can join in the Muck and Magic fun by emailing your name and address to Scarboroughinbloom2@ hotmail.co.uk or by calling 07961 966617 and leaving your details.

Filey cash goes to Nepal Words by Dave Barry
GENEROUS churchgoers in Filey have helped raise more than £1,500 in aid of the Nepal earthquake fund. A coffee morning at the Methodist church put £1,275 in the kitty; a further £260 was donated by church members in a collection. Rev Chris Kirkman said: “The money was used in direct aid to the remote area in the Himalayas, following the devastation that led to
Words by Steve Crawford
AFTER a month of sun, rain, fog, thunder, frost and pretty much every other type of weather known to science, hopefully we now have a good spell of summer weather ahead. I’ve started surf lessons in earnest now, to make the most of the warm summer months. Give me a call if you’d like to join me for a plunge. I’m sure some of you saw the powerboat races on South Bay at the end of May. I have to admit the guys doing tricks on the jet skis were really impressive and from me that is a proper compliment. you might be able to guess that surfers don’t mix well with jet skis and powerboats, so under normal circumstances I’d be whinging and shaking my fist at them, wishing the wrath of the gods down on them but, credit where credit’s due,
they gave one hell of a show. The big news for this month is the Surfers Against Sewage Barefoot Wine beach clean on the 18th July. It’s on South Bay from 1-3pm, everyone is welcome - the only proviso is that under 16s are accompanied by a guardian. All the equipment needed is provided so all you need to bring is yourself. We are lucky to have one of the Barefoot beach cleans this year as they are only coming to eight beaches in the UK. It’s a great day: the SAS crowd come up all the way from Cornwall to run the event with all their trademark humour and knowledge and, as an added bonus, some wine provided by the nice people at Barefoot Wines. Come down, learn about SAS, clean our beautiful beach then relax and have a chat with us over a glass of wine (or a soft drink). One bit of bad news is that the Wheatcroft/ McCain factory outfall pipe is once again leaking waste into Cornelian bay. If you are in the area, be aware that water quality is very low. Repairs will be underway eventually but expect it to be bad for some time.
Events SAS / Barefoot Wine Beach Clean: Saturday 18th July 1-3pm (meet 12.30 for briefing) n For current info see Fluid Concept surf shop facebook page - there will be an event page too or call me on 07891094976.

HEALTH and wellbeing were top of the agenda at a busy event organised by Scarborough Disablement Action Group (DAG). Dozens of charities and agencies shared information about statutory, private and voluntary services which help disabled people in the area to live as independently as possible.
“The event was a platform for local organisations to showcase and share information, expertise and ability to help improve disabled people’s life chances,” said Ian Whitfield of DAG. Equipment and aids that can maintain or improve independence were promoted. The event, at the Street, showed what disabled people can achieve in sports, arts and entertainment. The subjects covered included benefit advice, supported employment, education, children and adult services, advocacy, health and fitness. The 30 charities and support groups which took part included Creative Day Care Services, Adult Learning, North yorkshire Horizons, yorkshire Coast Homes, Mind, Art Therapy yorkshire and Castle Community Network. The Stephen Joseph Theatre ran workshops and Twilight Productions provided live music. The event was covered by yorkshire Coast Radio and Radio Scarborough.
thousands of deaths and the collapse of buildings, relief items being delivered to 1,100 households. “They received 30kg of rice, 2kg of lentils, two litres of oil and 1kg of salt – enough food for about a month.” The cash collection came under the umbrella of the Methodist Relief and Development Fund, working through the United Mission to Nepal, an ecumenical Christian mission.

The students at the college gained more insight into the impact of caring that informal carers face and the sacrifices people have to make to do that. “Additionally the catering students and team at Fledglings were able to show us their talents and we experienced a tasty lunch. We are very grateful to the college for partnering with us on this occasion and we look forward to returning again in the future.” Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face and recognising the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. This year Orchard House Day Care has partnered with students from yorkshire Coast College with a theme of building Carer Friendly Communities. Health and Social students from the college, who have the opportunity to undertake work experience at Orchard House, have produced an information pamphlet with tips for carers and suggestions of how they can look after themselves.

Harry Gration starts yacht race on lifeboat Words and photos by Scarborough RNli press officer Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH RNLI had a busy day on Saturday, with both lifeboats at sea for several hours. In the morning, at 10am precisely, Harry Gration started the North Sea yacht race by radio aboard the all-weather lifeboat. The BBC Look North presenter took the helm for a few minutes, watched by coxswain Tom Clark. In the afternoon, the all-weather and

MANy people watch diving programmes on television but probably may not realise that they can learn to dive locally. The Scarborough branch of the British Sub Aqua Club has been established since the 1960s and has successfully taught many local people to dive. Learning to dive with Scarborough Sub-Aqua Club means a steady flow of knowledge given freely by experienced divers and instructors in a safe sheltered water environment. The club owns its own premises located on St Mary’s Street in the old town with a licensed bar, meeting room, training facilities, several boats and also a compressor to fill diving cylinders with air. Anyone, aged 16 years or over, can attend a try-dive evening when all equipment is provided and the sessions led by experienced instructors who will fully explain the training that is available. The training programme, usually one night a week, is free to club members and timings can be tailored to fit with individuals’ commitments. It usually takes about 4 weeks to become
a trained diver, with a certificated qualification that is recognised and respected internationally. Anyone who gets the bug for adventure can dive abroad when on holiday or here, off the yorkshire coast, with club boat trips and experience many historic maritime shipwrecks or focus on the flora and fauna of the area. Underwater photography is very popular since digital cameras became available (all of the photographs here have been taken by club member, Zoe Frank). Trips to other UK coasts and foreign destinations are frequently organised – even non-diving family are welcome to attend. Scarborough branch of the British Sub Aqua Club has a long history of helping people to fulfil their dreams of exploring the underwater world. It’s the place where dreams can become a reality….. and it’s here, right on your doorstep! n If you would like to know more visit our website www.scarboroughsubaquaclub.net or contact us at scarborough.diver@gmail.com or call Pete: 07999 537188 or maggie:07789214832.

LINDSEy'S Learn to Swim is making waves of progress after now becoming a Super Swim Academy. The business has been going some seven years now but is undergoing a transformation in more ways than one. Lindsey said: “What started as a bit of a hobby, teaching around 40 children, has now increased to delivering swimming lessons for over 500 youngsters from the age of four upwards. Combining this with our sister company Super Baby Splashers, run by my partner Claire, we felt we had to reflect the vast scale of what we offer in our re-brand.” Between the two companies, they are now the largest providers of swimming to babies, toddlers and children through to teenage years and adults in the Borough of Scarborough. Their business of teaching swimming
has grown from strength to strength and Lindsey now has a team of over 10 staff made up of swimming teachers, assistants, admin support and volunteers to help run the business. This was one of the main reasons for the change of name in that Lindsey wanted to recognise everyone involved. The reason to move to an Academy rather than just a Swim School was also important in recognising the breadth of swimming ages and abilities that Super Swim Academy cover. Starting from September Lindsey will add further services to open up the opportunities for older, more advanced swimmers such as STA Junior Lifeguard Academy, and at the other range of the scale, to offer Aqua Natal for expectant mums. They also specialise in disabled, hearing impaired swimming. There are also opportunities for adults to

Fares still fair for Dial A Ride customers Picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
DIAL A Ride in Scarborough are keeping the best interests of their customers at heart after announcing no increase in fares for a third year running. At the last Dial A Ride Board of Trustees meeting, the Trustees voted to keep the fares as they are. Dial A Ride manager Julie Banks said: “We are very conscious that many of our passengers only receive basic pensions or benefits and that in real terms, their day to day living expenses have increased. “It is important that Dial A Ride stays as affordable as possible so that people who are unable to use public transport or can’t afford taxis are still able to get out and about. “This is vital so that our passengers – who often live alone or are isolated – can still
get to health appointments, go shopping, attend luncheon clubs or support groups or just visit friends and relatives. All these activities help them keep their independence, support their health and well being and reduce social isolation. “We work very hard to keep our overheads down and generate our own income to support Dial A Ride to enable us to keep our fares as affordable as possible.” An example of Dial A Ride's fantastic value for money is a return journey from Cayton to the hospital and back is just £6.10 and Newby to Morrison’s would be the same. The drivers and passenger escorts will help passengers from their homes onto the minibus and safely into their destination they will also help carry shopping in. At the moment, North yorkshire County Council have provided a small pot of funding to give people who have never used Dial A Ride the chance to try the
service for just the price of annual membership (£3) – NyCC will cover the cost of the first fare. This gives passengers an opportunity to see how easy it is to book and use Dial A Ride for only £3 return anywhere within the normal operating area. n For more details or for a leaflet phone 01723 354434 or visit: www.scarboroughdialaride.org

Filey solicitor Tom stepping down after three decades FILEy solicitor Tom Cathcart has retired after 30 years serving the people of the town. Tom, who until recently ran the Filey office of local firm Birdsall & Snowball, has handed over the reins to his colleagues Luke Dolby and Jane Nickson. Tom said: “I first came to Filey in 1952, on holiday. I was six months old and little did I know that I would spend the majority of my legal career working in the town, helping people with legal queries large and small. I have really enjoyed my time in Filey, and I have come to respect the independent spirit of its business people and to know many of the local characters who bring the town to life.” “I have been lucky to work with some talented and hard working colleagues
during that time. Many people in Filey will know Lucy Haxby, who cheerfully welcomed clients to our offices for many years. I am confident that Luke and Jane will take good care of our many clients in the future, offering the friendly, personal service which characterises Birdsall & Snowball.” Luke said: “It is a genuine privilege to be taking over from someone as well respected as Tom. He will be a difficult act to follow, and everyone at the firm wishes him well in his retirement.” Birdsall & Snowball was established in 1886. The firm has offices in Scarborough and Filey, and offers advice on conveyancing and commercial property, family law, wills and probate. n For more information, please visit the firm’s website at: www.birdsall-snowball.co.uk.

What a difference a decade makes THE team at the University of Hull Scarborough Campus are celebrating this month – it is a decade since the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) approved the first access agreements for English higher education.

The campus welcomes hundreds of local
school children onto the site every year. From primary school to sixth form, the University works with local schools and partner universities to ensure everyone understands what a university education can offer. Richard Adams, Outreach worker for the University of Hull Scarborough Campus, said: “We know we have made a real difference to children’s lives and aspirations over the last 10 years.

These sessions can be set up at venues around the area. Pete explained: “We have recently run biking sessions from Gallows Close, Scarborough and Whitby Sports Centre. We have a number of adapted bikes located within Dalby Forest and have recently run sessions which have been great fun and well attended. SRCC is set up as a Community Interest Company and is run as a non-profit making scheme. SRCC are in the process of applying for funding so we can offer the community the opportunity to engage in the benefits of cycling at a very low cost.” SRCC are also developing a variety of Satellite Clubs, one which is now running at Woodlands School each Thursday at 3.45pm to 4.45pm. This is aimed at youngsters who have a particular disability or mobility issue. Pete added: “Our long-term aim is to have a permanent base within the Scarborough area where people can visit and use our large stock of bikes.

SCARBOROUGH’S ARMED FORCES DAY CELEBRATIONS WERE A HUGE SUCCESS ON A SCORCHING SATURDAY AND SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE WAS THERE TO CAPTURE ALL THE ACTION IN THIS PICTURE SPECIAL! THE seventh Armed Forces Day celebrations in Scarborough were a resounding success. The annual event could not had taken place on a better day as Scarborough was basked in sunshine and the crowds flocked to the North and South bays. The official opening of the event was conducted by Scarborough Mayor Tom Fox who highlighted how proud he was of the work our Armed Forces undertake and that the people of Scarborough show such fantastic support. There was lots going on on a packed seafront and Scarborough MP Robert Goodwill followed up the Mayor’s comments with a speech of his own. The yorkshire Volunteers Band marched proudly and entertained the crowds with a sterling performance. Malcolm Appleby, leader of Scarborough
deputy mayor John Ritchie and his sister Louise Stanway, who collected a special award for services in the armed forces
Concert Band was their host. He said: “It was a wonderful day and the Volunteers Band were once again magnificent. It was a pleasure to be their host and they did everyone proud. “We could not have asked for better weather and I was proud to be part of the celebrations.” Vintage singer Cherie Lawrence took to the microphone to perform some classic wartime hits and the crowd enjoyed that. But perhaps the highlight for many on the day was the fly past of the Vulcan bomber which swooped in low over the bay and past over the lighthouse with stunning effects. It was a truly inspirational day and everyone who took part did a fantastic job. Scarborough can be proud of the tribute it paid to our Armed Forces.

Weather doesn’t spoil A good year for the open gardens day South Cliff roses Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE weather could have been distinctly better for Hutton Buscel’s annual open gardens day. But the rain, mist and low temperatures didn’t put everyone off, as there was still a good turn-out. Hutton Buscel is one of the prettiest villages in the North yorkshire moors national park and the 14 open gardens did not disappoint. Many boasted stunning views across the vale of Pickering and the yorkshire Wolds. The event featured refreshments, a plant sale, a tombola and a variety of stalls. Admission cost £3 and the proceeds went to St Matthew’s Church. The gardens included Shirley Doyle’s in Middle Lane, featuring self-seeded ox-eye daisy and aquilegia campanula. Two larger ponds echoed the shape of the bungalow windows and a few smaller ponds had been fashioned out of old dustbin lids – although you would be hardpressed to tell just by looking at them. The central hexagon copied the shape of the bird bath, with pebbles for lime-loving plants and an outer ring devoted to peat-

Lifeboat sent to rescue youths By Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH RNLI’s inshore lifeboat was refuelling in the harbour after an exercise on Tuesday evening when an emergency call came through. The lifeboat immediately sped round to the north bay, where three youths with a punctured dinghy were stranded on Mascus rocks Scalby Mills, surrounded by the sea. They came to no harm and as the tide
was ebbing they managed to wade back to shore, helped by coastguards. Helmsman Adam Beston commented that sea users should always be aware of the sea state and conditions before venturing out, no matter how close to shore. The other crew members were Sam Baker, Jason Hedges and Matt Marks. The incident was not connected to the police helicopter which hovered over the north bay later in the evening.
Bloomin’ great effort at annual plant sale Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
THE Newby & Scalby in Bloom annual plant sale was a resounding success. The event took place at a new venue this year when it was staged at The Parish Hall on Scalby Road. As well as there being an excellent selection of plants, vegetables and all things associated with the garden, there were refreshments available including the fantastic Cakes by Gillian plus a bumper raffle.
Ron Womack and Sheila Johnson from the muck & magic garden
Newby & Scalby in Bloom’s Sue Groom said: “It was a fantastic day and we brought in £1,500 which was amazing. “There was so much going on and it was very busy. The weather was good too which always helps and the car park was full. “I would like to thank everyone who either took part in having stalls or who came along on the day and supported the group. “The money brought in is vital in helping the group continue their great work and it means a lot to have that support.”

A VICTORIAN rose garden on Scarborough’s South Cliff has been lovingly restored. Old soil and roses have been replaced with fresh earth and about 1,100 new plants, in 32 beds. The garden was reopened by the mayor, Cllr Tom Fox, who presented his wife, mayoress Ros Fox, with a bunch of roses. The 13-acre Belvedere garden, as it was called, was developed in 1893 by a wealthy art dealer. George Beeforth lived on the other side of the Esplanade, reaching the garden via a tunnel under the road. The site was chosen as it lies on a plateau and is sheltered from onshore winds by trees and bushes. The garden was bought by Scarborough Corporation in 1912. Over the years, the health of the roses declined due to age and a deterioration in their growing conditions. Factors included disease, trees and shrubs stealing more sunlight and poor drainage due to the clay subsoil, which had been compressed. The restoration was a joint project between the Friends of South Cliff Gardens and Scarborough Council, with

All the fun of wet Scalby Fair Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE weather could have been much kinder to the hard-working organisers of Scalby Fair. It poured down for much of the opening ceremony, when dozens of young performers got soaked. The precipitation inevitably precipitated a lower turn-out than usual but those that made the effort enjoyed themselves. Opened by deputy mayor Cllr John Ritchie, the annual event featured Magic Mike, a yMCA choir, Julie Hatton’s dance school, Kevin O’Connor’s Irish dancers, a competition for the best-dressed stall, a Punch and Judy stand, children’s rides and a display of hawks, owls and other wildlife. The fair concluded a week of events including a show by Tony Peers at the community hall, two well-attended runs, a treasure hunt, wine tasting, barbecues, a beer festival, a band at the Nags Head (Soul Rida) and a flower festival. Chairman Roger Tiffin said: “Scalby Fair is non-profit making, run entirely by volunteers, and exists to foster a community spirit, to encourage
participation in many varied activities and events, and to support local good causes.”
Umbrellas and raincoats were essential at Scalby Fair.

Food Fair has all the right Show raises thousands for lifeboat ingredients to succeed
one of the stalls at Scarborough Food Fair by faith young
SCARBOROUGH Food Fair hit Westborough in June, with stalls, great food and the launch of a brand new pork sausage flavour! The popular foodie event, which takes place every third Saturday in the month, attracted 13 stalls, including yorkshire Wolds Sausage, from Driffield. Lance Underwood of yorkshire Wolds Sausage launched a Facebook competition in which people could come up with a brand new sausage flavour. And with so many tasty suggestions, not one but two winners were selected. Andrew Wilkinson with a flavoursome combination of spring onion, soy and ginger and Emma
Wilkinson with her suggestion for Mexican cheese and jalapeno. The winners had 20lbs of their delicious sausages created, and they each received a pulled pork joint made even tastier by yorkshire Wold Sausage’s delicious secret seasoning combination. Lance said: “The winning flavours were selected because they were original and very appealing. We had a great response so we thank everyone who
took part.” The market has now had four ‘outings’ in the town, and has attracted food lovers from Scarborough and beyond. Caroline Anderson, co-coordinator of Scarborough Food Fair, said: “Our event was another chance for food lovers to come and buy the finest produce, made by people who love their craft. “Although the weather misbehaved, the atmosphere was great and there was alcohol being sold during the market – another ‘first’ for Scarborough Food Fair!” “We look forward to an even bigger Scarborough Food Fair on Saturday 18 July.”
Appeal for whale and dolphin spotters Report by Dave Barry
LOTS of people flock to the Moray Firth in east Scotland or Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales to see bottlenose dolphins. But did you know you can also spot them off Scarborough’s Marine Drive? Harbour porpoise are more commonly spotted close to shore but bottlenose dolphins can also be seen frequently. And you don’t have to go to Norway or Iceland to watch whales. In the summer months, they are regularly seen in the North Sea off Scarborough. This year, the Sea Watch Foundation (SWF) is appealing for help from the public. SWF recently processed a huge amount of data from sea-watchers at almost 700 sites around our coasts and has noticed some pretty big gaps. “This is your call to arms,” says sightings officer, Kathy James. “you don’t need to be a scientist or a whale-expert to help; we just need a little of your time. We ask that certain details be recorded (chat to us about this first) and that watches last at least half an hour, between 25 July and 2 August.” In Scarborough, assistant regional coordinator Stuart Baines is running a sea-watch on Marine Drive on Sunday 2 August, between 10am and 4pm. “Come down and watch our local harbour porpoise and maybe other cetacean
species,” says Stuart. For details, ring Stuart on 07527 005574 or send an email to scarboroughporpoise@btconnect.com. For more information on whale, dolphin and porpoise sightings off Scarborough, check out Scarborough Porpoise on Facebook or Twitter. In total, 29 species of dolphin, whale and porpoise have been recorded in UK and Irish waters, 12 during a national whale and dolphin watch. Whale-watching trips recently resumed at Whitby, with plenty of sightings.

A MUSICAL show at the Spa has raised thousands of pounds for Scarborough RNLI. A Celebration of Songs, at the Spa Ocean Room, raised £3,022 for the lifeboat. Organiser Loraine Tinsley and young
singer Alexandra Kirby sang covers of hits through the eras. They were joined by Solitare with Duggie Stewart, Tom Davenport and Ken Gache. Boyes donated the first prize in a raffle, a £250 voucher to spend in the store. The performance was hosted by Tom Hooper of yorkshire Coast Radio. A reviewer on TripAdvisor wrote: “We had a lovely evening which was well organised, the performing acts were brilliant and included a 14-year-old girl who sang amazingly.” The show was so successful that Loraine and colleagues are planning another one, next year. The total includes £374.70 raised by Matalan, which promoted the show, gave a £100 voucher for the raffle and had a collection in store. Matalan’s RNLI fundraising continued when deputy manager Darren Gizon undertook the H2O challenge, forsaking all drinks except water for 10 days.

TESCO stores in Filey and Scarborough are set to show more support for the community with their food bank collections. Tesco Scarborough Community Champion Hayley Pickles and Tesco Filey Community Champion Tracy Flynn will be working together to help those in need.
Tracy said: “The collection is running from July 2 to the 4 and all collections will be boosted by Tesco by 30 per cent. “The food is donated by customers and local companies and sent back to our depots on trucks before being distributed to local food banks. “This covers all the Scarborough and Filey community and is much needed.” Since 2012 Tesco has provided 21.5 million meals to those that need it in the UK and are generally below the poverty line. Tracy added: “There are shopping lists available in store on those days which will indicate what type of things are required but anything is gratefully received. “We would like to collect the most amount we’ve ever collected to help as many as possible as the demand is increasing constantly.” n If you can help visit Tracy or hayley in store for more details.

Little Shop of Horrors is Bands to perform together in epic concert hungry for success
Rehearsals for Little Shop of horrors at Scarborough YmCA WITH rehearsals in full-swing, attention is turning to the considerable technical challenges presented by Scarborough yMCA's spectacular summer show, Little Shop of Horrors. “There were many aspects for us to consider concerning the stage set and in particular, how we tackled the infamous flesh eating plant, Audrey 2,” says Director, Duncan Lewis. “Because of this, I was really keen to use the skills and ingenuity of two, young local designers that worked with me so successfully on last year’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar,” added Duncan. A much-loved musical comedy, Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of a poor florist’s assistant who allows his craving for fame and fortune to seduce him into playing nursemaid to a man-eating plant.
Rebecca Cartwright, Audrey 2 and Costume Designer said: “The design of Audrey 2 is very experimental; both in terms of aesthetics and structure and will hopefully give audiences a refreshing, more interactive character than the way it is traditionally portrayed.” Duncan and the design team are expecting audiences to be excited by the look of the production. The show has something for everyone and is suitable for the whole family. Little Shop of Horrors will be staged at the yMCA Theatre each MondayThursday evening from 20 July to 27 August 2015 n Tickets are available from the YmCA Box office on 01723 506750 and online at www.scarborough.ymca.org.uk.

It will be epic and we are all very
Scarborough Concert Band excited.” The Lichfield group are staying in Scarborough over the weekend and will also perform another free concert on the bandstand in Peasholm Park on the Sunday July 5 between 2.30-4.30pm.

More artists needed at railway studios Exhibition at the SJT highlights 60 years of entertainment
The artists’ studios near the railway station (to order this photo, ring 353597).
Words and photo by Dave Barry
AN ambitious plan to convert an old railway building into artists’ studios needs a shot in the arm. The cavernous building, formerly used as a parcels office and waiting rooms, is alongside the railway line a few hundred yards from Scarborough station. A huge sum of money has been spent on making the building weather-proof by replacing its rotting rooves, repairing the windows, etc. Artists Sally Gatie and Jo Davis stumbled upon the building nine years ago and were blown away by its scale. “We’ve been working on the project, in a voluntary, unpaid capacity, all this time,” says Sally. “We’ve raised funds from the Arts Council, English Heritage, Network Rail and Railway Heritage to get it to the stage it’s at now. The plan is to convert it into artist studios and a teaching space. “We’re looking for artists who would like to work there for a nominal rent,” Sally
says, warning: “There are no facilities and the nearest public loos are at the railway station.” Sally and Jo are trying to create a drawing school, “with traditional art classes, excellent lecturers and professional studios. “We would like to attract artist residencies where artists will respond to the environment. “We’ve already had one or two events in the place, and we’re trying to bring it to people’s attention.” Sally and Jo are looking for artists with skills they don’t have, to help with things like a website, social media and marketing. “We’re looking for someone who could make a film for us to use to seek crowdfunding,” says Sally. “We’re not good at everything and don’t have the time to do everything.” n If you would like to help, ring Sally on 07985 603570.
West End star supports local performers
Ben James-Ellis on stage with the cast of Scarborough musicals’ hairspray at the YmCA Theatre
Words by Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH-BORN West End star Ben James-Ellis has become a patron of local amateur society Scarborough Musicals. Ben agreed on the role after seeing the company’s recent production of Hairspray, the show in which he became a West End leading man in the role of teen heart-throb Link Larkin. Ben began his performing career at the yMCA Theatre before hitting the big time. He was home in Scarborough, visiting family, after completing a contract as lead singer on the Queen Mary 2 and decided to check out Hairspray at the yMCA. “It was a rather teary, nostalgic visit, seeing again a show that was part of my life for two years,” said Ben, “and of course it all started for me here at the yMCA Theatre in Scarborough. “But I didn’t expect such an effective production, playing to a packed house, with a stage full of amazing talent and so many
young people giving their all. I was very impressed.” Hairspray director Tim Tubbs said: “you can imagine how thrilled we all were, to learn that Hairspray’s original West End star was back in town and coming to see the final show. After the performance, Ben came up on stage, to meet the cast and have photos taken, and later on he joined us at the last-night party, singing and dancing into the early hours. We were just delighted!” Ben was so impressed with the show, and the company’s work, that he agreed to become a patron, joining West End actorsinger Janie Dee and opera star Richard Suart, who are already patrons. Company chairman Mike Wademan said: “It’s an honour and pleasure to have the support of a major talent like Ben JamesEllis; and it’s to his credit that he gives this encouragement to young performers in his home town, some of whom might follow in his footsteps to the West End and beyond.”
A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition at the Stephen Joseph Theatre celebrates the history of the Scarborough company, from 1955 to 2015. The First 60 years is a two-part exhibition at the Stephen Joseph Theatre Gallery on throughout the summer and until 3 October and which features a single photo from each year. The chosen images capture the theatre’s beginnings at the Library Theatre, as it was known from 1955 to 1976, 20 taken at its second home, the Stephen Joseph Theatre In The Round at Westwood, and 19 from productions at the current Odeon building where the company has been based since 1996. Among the photos can be seen a young Martin Freeman in the 1997 revival of The Woman In Black, David Harewood who many will now recognise from the American crime thriller series Homeland, and award-winning actress Janie Dee in the 2008 revival of Woman In Mind. Alan Ayckbourn’s world premieres include Way Upstream and The Norman Conquests and he is also pictured in his first play, The Square Cat. Laughton and The Importance of Being Earnest feature from some of the most recent plays under current Artistic Director Chris Monks. The Stephen Joseph Theatre has produced a total of 616 plays of which 327 were new plays. These have been captured over the
years by photographers Ken Boden, Alec Russell, Adrian Gatie, Tony Bartholomew, Robert Day and Karl Andre. The First 60 years has been curated by SJT Executive Director Stephen Wood, who has worked for the theatre for 25 years over a 40-year period beginning in 1976, and Archivist Simon Murgatroyd who first started working with the company in 1999. The First 60 years - Part One can be seen in The Gallery at the Stephen Joseph Theatre until Saturday 3 October. The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday from noon until 6pm, except when there is a matinee performance in The Round. Entry is free.

Success for venue’s first wedding fayre Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE first wedding fayre at Scarborough Fair Collection proved a runaway success. 15 exhibitors took part and were visited by 100 potential customers. The fayre was co-organised by Angie Mason of Angie’s Ice Cream Hire, who said: “As a wedding supplier, we have attended many wedding fayres over the years, exhibiting my celebration dessert hire, but I always wanted to hold my own. “So when I was approached by the amazing Scarborough Fair Collection to help organise their first wedding fayre, I was over the moon, as this wedding venue is my absolute favourite hidden gem,” Angie said. “Along with Jane Thomas, the venue’s events coordinator, we arranged to book only the best local wedding exhibitors. “With over 100 potential customers
through the door, it was the busiest and best I have ever attended and, as it was such a massive success, with so many brides-to-be giving fantastic feedback, hopefully it will become a yearly event,” Angie said. Scarborough Fair Collection is at the Flower of May holiday park near Lebberston, a few miles south of Scarborough.

Scarborough judo club get to grips with Newcastle gradings Picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCARBOROUGH Ippon Judo Club members excelled themselves with both seniors and juniors gaining promotions to new coloured belts. First the senior section of the club attended en masse a Judo For All Regional Grading in Newcastle. The group set out from their Street Headquarters at 8am on Sunday and returned that evening after nine members of the club had been graded up. The following Wednesday evening it was the turn of the juniors to impress a grading officer, with four youngsters gaining their yellow belts. The event in Newcastle was the first of its kind for the club, running as a course, with three instructors, including Ippon’s 4th Dan instructor Dave Hammond, taking varying sessions. During the morning members of Ippon were pulled out of the training session to be tested by Scotland-based instructor Jason Baird. Those that needed to fight to earn their
grades did so. Ippon club member Gareth England secured his 3rd Kyu (green belt) early on winning a best of three bout against a Scottish opponent. That fight, however, was just a precursor for the main contests, that witnessed Ippon’s Roman Danilov endure four fights to collect his 2nd kyu (blue belt). Roman, just 18 years old, won two fights against others of his own grade, before losing a fight to a much larger and stronger opponent. However, with the two wins already to his name he was given the opportunity to continue and secured his promotion by beating an established blue belt, a significant achievement at that level. “It was a great day out for everybody,” said proud coach Dave. “I know how nerve racking these gradings can be, but everybody did so well and the journey back was so enjoyable because everybody knew that had achieved their results.” Having been hosted in Newcastle, Ippon are now looking forward to welcoming visitors to home turf in August when the club holds its Summer School, a three day
event that will draw judo enthusiasts from across the country. Ippon train regularly at The Street on
Wednesdays, 6-7pm for children aged 10 up, 7-9 for adults. n For more information contact dave on 07525451454.

Jean’s passion for bowls shines through
Words and photo by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH
bowler has become the first person to be nominated for Bowls International magazine’s new Unsung Heroes awards. Ironically, Jean Jarvis of the Indoor Bowling Club doesn’t have much time
to play bowls as she is too busy teaching others and promoting the game. “I think I’ve been nominated because I do coaching and go to schools with the New Age soft sponge bowls for children and people who have difficulty gripping,” Jean says. Jean is instrumental in attracting children from schools such as Friarage and Lindhead, and scouts, cubs and beavers to the town’s bowls centre. “We try to attract the young ones, the bowlers of the future,” she explains.
“We have a thriving junior group which plays on Sunday mornings and our Bowls and Buggies group on Saturday mornings is for for disabled people and children from Welburn Hall, and we have students from the Anglolang language school on Fridays in the summer.” The coach and club member has been playing bowls regularly since Scarborough Bowls Centre opened in 1989, although her grandfather taught her to play crown green bowls when she was a child.

Last 16 draw for Castle competition
ONE of the leading local football clubs West Pier FC have teams in both Saturday and Sunday leagues, and this coming season will see them celebrate their 40th Anniversary. Club stalwart Andy Spivey is hoping to produce a book or brochure to commemorate the highlights of the club’s illustrious history to date, and is appealing for anyone who has any old photographs, documents or information about the club to get in touch with him via the West Pier FC Facebook page.
Formed as a Sunday League club, West Pier Britannia in 1976, they also entered the District League on Saturdays in 1981 and over the past 39 seasons the club has won every available Saturday and Sunday trophy, including North Riding Saturday and Sunday Challenge Cups. Season 2015-16 will see Pier commence their 37th successive season in the Sunday League first division, and their 28th successive season as members of the District League top flight on Saturdays.

Scarborough Review, July - Issue 23 53
Neesom realises a dream Boro cruise all set to sail during action-packed period by Will Baines
Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
IT has been a busy few weeks for top racing ace James Neesom as the 23-yearold Scarborough competitor made his TT debut at the Isle of Man followed by a successful weekend at the Barry Sheene Festival at Oliver's Mount. It had been a lifelong ambition for James to compete in the TT and he finally got to realise his dreams. The event held mixed fortunes with not many qualification laps for James with sessions cancelled due to bad weather, combined with bike issues. The 37.7 mile circuit with top speeds over 180 mph in many sectors puts tremendous strain on the bikes, and James had a brand new tyre slit, fuel pump break, gear box problems and a screen explode at 160 mph hitting his helmet and smashing his visor off. James still managed to get several laps in at over 120mph average and was over the moon to win two bronze replicas in the two races he managed to complete. For the Barry Sheene event James had a new gear box fitted and was also asked to ride some development tyres for Avon so was not sure how things would go. Needless to say it proved to be a great weekend for James as he finished second overall in both the 600cc and 1000cc categories. James said: “To compete at the TT was
truly amazing and something I have always wanted to do, and then to follow it up with a great weekend on my home-town track Oliver's Mount was the icing on the cake. “I would like to thank everyone who supports me including new local sponsor IK Welding and Ian Kevan. “Without the support I get I would not be living out this wonderful experience so once again thanks and I will see you at the next meet.”
SCARBOROUGH Athletic supporters can question joint managers Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot ahead of the new season as part of a cruise evening this month. The club are holding a Q&A with the Boro management team aboard the Regal Lady on Friday 10 July, prior to a cruise along the yorkshire coast. The Q&A session is a great chance for fans to ask the managers about their plans, thoughts on new signings, and their hopes for the forthcoming season. Boarding will start on the Regal Lady from 7pm, with fans able to question Hughes and Foot between 7.30pm and 8pm. Following the Q&A session, the cruise will set sail, returning at
approximately 9.15pm. It will be possible to pay at the harbour on the night but booking is advisable via the Scarborough Athletic website to avoid disappointment. The new 2015/16 Home and Away Kits and Season Tickets will also be available to purchase as part of the night.

Mulgrave set the standards in division A Mulgrave head division A following a good run of form, while nearest challengers Seamer have stuttered in recent weeks but are still only seven points behind. Sherburn and Grindale are joint third on 103 points. Cloughton are the inform team, putting together four wins on the bounce and jumped into mid table. In a competitive division where upsets occur on a regular basis the mid table is congested. Cayton 2nds skipper, Simon Glave produced the best bowling of the season so far, claiming 7/8 against Wykeham.
Scarborough 3rds claim first league win
STAxTON 2nds are in pole position in the third tier, followed by Forge Valley 2nds with an improving Ganton racing up the table. In the back to back games Thornton Dale suffered two defeats against the league leaders. Scarborough 3rds have endured a tough first half to the summer, but picked their first win in week nine over second from bottom Sewerby 2nds.
Several teams in contention in division C
ONLy 23 points separate the top seven teams, with the league leaders changing on a weekly basis, with current leaders Ebberston 2nds on 104 points. Great Habton, Flamborough are their closest challengers, however an intriguing second half to the campaign is expected. Ben Holtby of Great Habton hit a fabulous 176 to win the June batting prize. Cloughton 2nds are rooted to the bottom of the table.
DIvISON B
CAyTON and Staxton are neck and neck at the top of the Premier division as both are on 148 points at the halfway stage. Staithes remain just four points behind in third place. Heslerton and Filey have recovered well after slow starts while Forge Valley and Ebberston have slipped after some promising early results. Nawton Grange pulled away from the bottom two after a surprise win over Staxton and are 32 points clear of Scalby who are second from bottom. Flixton 2nds remain winless after nine matches

Scarborough Review, July - Issue 23 55
CAPTAIn’S REVIEW Darren Harland THIS month things have been going well down at the club. The firsts have been unbeaten in the league and are now sitting at the top of the premier division, still a long way to go though. Darren Harland and James Pick have hit purple patches notching up a couple of hundreds each, and all the bowlers are chipping in with vital wickets too. The second team are also doing very well, they are up to second in their league with some good performances from young Harrison Wood and Darren Mills and Charlie Roberts who scored his maiden Scarborough cricket Club 100!
Mark Cowell is doing a tremendous job captaining the second team with his experience being vital. The third team notched up their first win of the season, a great effort from the lads, good to see Matty Kay back playing and taking four wickets. With the ashes closing in on us we are all excited to see how Adam Lyth goes against the Aussies. I'm sure he'll be fine as he is a tough lad from Whitby. We wish Adam all the best and the rest of the England team, let's hope they win back the ashes, with the new brand of cricket they've been playing who knows.

Annie marshall points to her father’s name on the new boat
Words and photo by Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH Rowing Club has named its latest boat after Keith Marshall, who died while out rowing on 25 May. Mr Marshall’s son and daughter, Joe and Annie, poured champagne over the bow before the boat’s maiden voyage, in thick fog in the south bay. Annie was joined for the boat’s inaugural row by Helena McAleese, Amelia Monsey, Izzy Beedham and cox Rick Davis. Mr Marshall was a club supporter and an admired and respected coach and mentor to young teams at the rugby club. The new boat is “the latest edition to the club’s fleet of coxed-four racing gigs”, says spokesman Will Kitchener. “These boats are handcrafted, clinker built, made up of overlapping planks or strakes,” Mr Kitchener says. “As such it is a slow process to cut, shape and rivet the planks together and so it is not a cheap process. Unfortunately, boat builders
The boat is carried back up the beach after its maiden voyage skilled in this kind of construction are few and far between.” Step forward Whitby shipyard joiner and boat builder Roger Wood, who has built four boats for Whitby’s Friendship Rowing Club. The launch, MC-ed by Alan Rees, was attended by Richard Guthrie, who made “a substantial contribution” to the cost, Mr Wood, club captain Kev Barker, Whitby Friendship president Mike Brown, Mike Wetherfield of Whitby Fishermen’s rowing club and Whitby regatta committee president Jane Miller.
Boro welcome Accrington Stanley to the coast by Will Baines
SCARBOROUGH Athletic are pleased to announce the visit of Sky Bet League 2 side Accrington Stanley and NCEL team Tadcaster Albion to Silver Royd, the home of Scarborough RUFC, for some pre-season friendly action.The Boro jointmanager Paul Foot rugby club is set to host a week of football action in July, kicking off with a ‘Festival of Football’ day on Saturday 18. Boro will continue their pre-season preparations against a Scarborough and District League xI at 3pm out on the pitch, but off the field there is a Scarborough FC players re-union as part of the day, including the Conference winning team and players going back to Ted Smethurst, Neil Sellers, Andy Mockler, Graeme Crawford, Harry Dunn and loads more. On Tuesday 21 July, Sky Bet League 2 side Accrington Stanley will travel to the East Coast to test out the
Seadogs, with the friendly again taking place at Silver Royd. John Coleman’s side finished 17 in the league last season, but have brought in several new signings ahead of the new season. The kick-off time is to be confirmed. Then on Saturday 25 July NCEL Premier Division side Tadcaster Albion will travel to Scarborough RUFC for a 2pm KO. The friendly will see a number of former Boro players as part of the Brewer’s side looking to go one better next season and clinch promotion under new manager Billy Miller Scarborough Athletic joint manager Paul Foot is already looking forward to the three games.He said: “It is great to be able to bring a League 2 side like Accrington over to Scarborough as part of our pre-season schedule. Bryan (Hughes) has been working on getting it sorted for a while so to be able to confirm it is excellent news ahead of our return to pre-season training.” “The game against the Scarborough and District side alongside the former players reunion will be a great day out. To see the players who have pulled on a Scarborough
FC shirt in the past come together to reminisce and remember alongside the action on the pitch will make it special occasion.” “The Tadcaster game should create a bit of interest, especially with the number of former Boro players in their squad. Taddy are an ambitious club who have changed manager over the summer, so the players will be out to impress him throughout pre-season.” All three games will be played at Scarborough RUFC, giving Boro fans a unique opportunity to see their side in action in the town. Foot added: “The facilities at Silver Royd are excellent, and give our fans a chance to watch their side play in the town against top opposition, rather than travelling along the coast to Bridlington. Having three games on the bounce over seven days will hopefully create a buzz around the town ahead of the new season.”
