All set for the 19th Seafest Words and photos by Dave Barry
They are Jacqui Wicks on vocals and ukulele, Richard Ormrod on clarinet, accordion, drums and trombone and Jonny Flockton on banjo and guitar. The trio are “gleefully grubby and magnificent”, according to Wrecking Ball Press; “jazz zeitgeistian smiling knifers”, according to poet Kate Fox; and “inimitable and glorious”, according to Musicport director Jim McLaughlin. Scarborough Hospitality Association is arranging cooking demonstrations by prominent chefs. They are Wayne Gildroy of Whitby’s new Star Inn the Harbour, Matt Hunter of York’s Star Inn the City, Stephanie Moon of Rudding Park in Harrogate, Harrison Barraclough of the George in Wath near Ripon, Christian
Taylor of the New Inn in Cropton and, from Scarborough, Martin Hyde of Eat Me café and Luke Daniels of the Weston Hotel. Demonstrations will also be given by Debbie Raw, who was in the BBC2 series Further Back in Time for Dinner; independent consultant and award-winning chef Rob Green; and Dan Hargreaves of Hedge-Hoggers Cider in Seamer. Funding for Seafest was boosted by a £14,500 Arts Council grant and sponsorship from housing firm Keepmoat Homes, which is building part of the Middle Deepdale development in Westway, Eastfield.

SUMMER wouldn’t be summer without Seafest on Scarborough’s seafront. The free three-day festival, from 21-23 July, features live music, street theatre and all sorts of activities. Centred on West Pier, the 19th annual Seafest will have about 40 craft and food stalls and a real-ale tent run by the Great Yorkshire Brewery of Cropton. Besides GYB ale, about 30 beers, lagers and ciders will be available. They will include four from the North Riding Brewery and a few from new Kirbymoorside brewery Turning Point. It will be served using a “revolutionary” new bottoms-up beer dispenser from the USA,
Saturday Trawlers – fishermen wearing barnacle beards, big bouncy boots and bright yellow suits – will tell tales of the high seas here and there at 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm. Listen out for thumping sousaphone, rolling banjo and the sweet sounds of the clarinet as the Jelly Roll Band play music from the 1920s at 1pm and 3pm. Mister Tooley and Stone Penguin will play a DJ set in the main marquee from 10-11pm.
Saturday and Sunday Animated Objects Theatre will have a giant puppet called Wayfarer walking around the beach and at Aquarium Top at 10am, noon and 2pm.
says GYB operations manager Karl Butler, adding: “It fills glasses from the bottom”. On the Sunday, at 2.25pm, a Lancaster bomber, part of the Battle of Britain memorial flight, will pass overhead, weather permitting. Look out for workshops, giant beach-themed sand drawings, pebble sculptures, seaside craft, storytelling and guided dinosaur and rockpool rambles. Budding seafarers will be able to hop aboard two Royal Navy patrol vessels, HMS Puncher and Trumpeter, and view demonstrations from the Maritime Heritage Centre and the Coble and Keelboat Society. Higlights include a fireworks display and the Hard Times Orchestra, whose influences include Ma Rainey, Blossom Dearie and Tom Waits.
Impossible Arts will be taking photos of people and merging them into a roguesgallery film depicting times gone by. You could be a toff or a convict, a barista or a barrister. That’s on the North Wharf (by Ask) from 10am–5pm. The Deceiver will perform magic tricks, sleight-of-hand artistry and mind reading here and there from 1-3pm. Pete White and his Suitcase Circus will present a hula-hoop challenge, tricks, stunts and circus fun for all the family on the West Pier and beach at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.
Sunday All is not what it seems when two fishmongers try to sell their wares. See prawns dancing, an octopus come to life, stirrings in a jellied-
eel jar and a worrying seafood smoothie. That’s Fairly Fresh Fish, who will be eyecatching and silly at 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm.

Seafest weekend should be plain Give me a brake! sailing for RNLI by Dave Barry
Words and photos by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH RNLI is looking forward to a busy Seafest weekend. The lifeboat’s annual flag day is on Saturday 22 July. Both lifeboats will be launched and the coastguard's Sikorsky search-and-rescue helicopter will pay a visit at about 2.30pm, barring shouts. “The flag day normally raises between £3,000 and £3,500”, says Colin Woodhead, who chairs Scarborough RNLI. There will be collection points at Proudfoots in Eastfield and Newby, Sainsbury's, the lifeboathouse, the town centre and other locations.
SR July 2017.indd 4
In the town centre, a large blow-up model of a Shannon lifeboat will be inflated outside Poundland. Flag day coincides with Seafest, which usually features a church service on the Sunday morning. This year, it will be held in the lifeboathouse, which will then open to the public for the rest of the day. Anybody interested in joining the shore and inshore-lifeboat crews The inflatable Shannon lifeboat at the Tour de Yorkshire last year will be welcome to attend and (to order photos ring 353597) enquire about joining the RNLI team.

A CYCLIST who was bumped off his bike got his revenge – and filmed it. Scarborough man Ken Lofts, 48, was cycling across the junction of Valley Bridge Parade, Westwood and Somerset Terrace, heading into town. Slowly approaching a red light, the driver of a Vauxhall Vectra towing a caravan carelessly nudged Ken’s bike, causing him to lose his balance and nearly fall off. Ken, who works in a fish-and-chip shop, wouldn’t have minded if the driver had fessed up and apologised – but he didn’t. The driver evidently hadn’t noticed Ken, either when he bumped him off his bike or when Ken slyly applied the caravan’s handbrake. Ken then nipped into the shelter at the top of Plantation Hill, whipped his phone out and filmed the driver trying to move on. With his wheels spinning fast and burning rubber, the driver made several attempts before the penny dropped. In the meantime, the lights changed five times. Ken’s film is on YouTube. It can be found by putting the first 11 words of this report into the searchbox.

July - Issue 47
Honour for gardener who “goes Merchant navy club recruitment drive goes well at 3,000mph six days a week” by Dave Barry A RECRUITMENT drive by the Scarborough branch of the Merchant Navy Association proved successful. “It was a great success, with the club gaining some new members and some ex-members rejoining”, said secretary Keith Eade. At an open night, at the Anglers Club in Friars Way, members considered new ideas and the use of social media to promote the club and its activities. They celebrated branch president Terry White’s birthday with a tot of rum. On 12 July, the branch will welcome shipmates from Hull, Goole, Harrogate and Redcar to the association’s North East get-together at the Railway Club. The branch’s Christmas get-together will be
at the Anglers on 12 December and its annual dinner dance will be at the Royal Hotel on 31 March 2018. The branch meets on the third Tuesday of the month at the Anglers. Keith said: “We would like to hear from any seafarers, male or female, who are still working at sea or who have retired from any departments including those serving in, or having served on, any merchant navy vessels and cruise ships, or worked offshore and in fishing. “Our main gaols are to bring together people with a common interest in seafaring and to enjoy various social functions including day trips throughout the year”. n For further information, email keith.eade@btinternet.com.
Young wizards celebrate Harry Potter landmark Words and photos by Dave Barry HARRY POTTER fever struck North Bay Railway in Scarborough this week. Every pupil in year 4 at Gladstone Road Primary School – about 120 children – dressed up and took a train to wizarding school. Head teacher Keith Wright dressed up as Hagrid and met the children off the train. He told them the rules for Hogwarts and checked that they had been sorted into the correct houses before sending them off for activities in Peasholm Park and on the beach. The adventure was part of a week of activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first Harry Potter book, The Philosopher’s Stone. “From an idea born on a train journey to its creation in a small cafe in Edinburgh, the book started a global phenomenon”, said year-4 teacher Lesley Dodd. “It has sold over 450 million copies in 79 languages, inspired a major movie franchise, a spellbinding theatre production and captivated readers of all ages for 20 years”. Back at the school, Lee Threadgold of Animated Objects Theatre gave a magical themed story session for children and parents. Children played quidditch, decorated classroom doors as book covers, wrote poetry and made golden snitches, house ties and wands. They designed magical creatures, house shields and versions of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

Words and photo by Dave Barry ROGER BURNETT has been awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the community, in the Queen’s birthday honours list. Roger joined Scarborough Council’s parks department in 1974, working in the nurseries at Manor Road. He studied horticulture and business at Askham Bryan College near York before returning to the council and being appointed foreman gardener at Filey. Roger went on to various positions within the council, including head of parks and countryside services. He now leads the community environment unit, supporting volunteering opportunities throughout the borough. Roger is a national flower show judge for the Royal Horticultural Society and chairs the judges panel for the Britain in Bloom campaign, promoting community horticulture locally and nationally. However, his passion for gardening and supporting the voluntary sector is most important to him in Scarborough. Roger said: “I have been very lucky over my career to be able to both work with plants and people to promote gardening and have always considered my job as a vocation, one I have loved every minute of. “My current role brings me into contact with all sorts of amazing people. This award is recognition of all the hard work that those volunteers have done in supporting community horticulture in the borough. I am overwhelmed by the good wishes and kind thoughts of everyone who has contacted me since it was made public”. One of Roger’s mammoth tasks at the
Roger Burnett and the British Empire Medal (to order photos ring 353597) moment is helping the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery restore the cemetery to its former glory. He works with the Community Payback scheme to repair thousands of damaged headstones and is supporting the restoration of the old chapel. Roger says: “This labour of love is so important to many people in the town as there is a tremendous amount of local history contained in and around the cemetery. It is a good example of the strong community spirit that is evident in every walk of life in the borough”. Already, well over 1,500 memorials have been made safe and repaired. Roger’s assistant, Sheila Johnson, said: “We are all thrilled and delighted for him. It is the culmination of many years’ work in the community and it's a great honour”. Sheila said she had been working with Roger for about 12 years and there was never a dull moment. “There’s never a chance to get bored working with him because he goes at about 3,000mph six days a week and he’s always plotting his next schemes”.

A minke whale off the Scarborough coast
Words by Dave Barry, photo by Stuart Baines SOME exciting visitors turn up off the Yorkshire coast from June until October. Minke whales are the smallest and most abundant of the baleen whales, although still a big animal at 7-11 metres. They have a slender, pointed, triangular head with a single central ridge. The dorsal fin is relatively tall, sickle-shaped and situated nearly two-thirds of the way along the back. The head and body are dark grey to black but with grey areas or chevrons on the flanks and a distinctive diagonal white band Hagrid and the Harry Potter wizards (to order photos ring 353597)

on the flippers. Minke whales are regularly seen from Scarborough, Filey, Cloughton and Bempton. They eat by swallowing huge mouthfuls of sea water and straining out the sand eel, mackerel, herring, etc. It is thought that they follow their food on an annual journey around the North Sea. Whales can also be seen by going on a boattrip with Whitby Whale Watching. n For further information on dolphin, porpoise and whale sightings, check out the Scarborough Porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages and the Sea Watch Foundation website or send an email to scarboroughporpoise@btinternet.com.

Scarborough Review
New sport centre off to a good start
L-R, Olympic medalist Colin Jackson with the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith, and council leader Derek Bastiman (to order photos ring 353597)
Words and photos by Dave Barry HUNDREDS if not thousands of people took advantage of a free open day at the new £15m sport centre. Scarborough Leisure Village, as it is called, boasts a football pitch, a 25-metre swimming pool, a learner pool, a four-court sports hall, a multi-activity room and a 60-station fitness suite. The complex was officially opened by Olympic medalist Colin Jackson, who spent most of the day there. The former sprint and hurdling athlete competed with visitors in a fitness challenge. It is the new home of Scarborough Athletic, which had spent 10 years in the Bridlington wilderness, following the closure of the Seamer Road ground. It replaces flea-bitten facilities at the old sport centre in Filey Road and the old pool at
Northstead, both of which closed just before the new complex opened. The open day featured free activities for families, both inside and on the pitch. They included virtual group exercise and dance classes, gym taster sessions and floor exercise classes and, in the sports hall, karate taster sessions run by Shotokan Karate Club, table tennis, a bouncy castle and a face painter. The soccer club held various activities on the new pitch. Visitors tested their skills in a penalty shoot-out. Scarborough Athletic FC, Scarborough Ladies FC and junior teams showcased their skills in friendly matches. The pool has eight lanes, two more than the old one, and has very few windows; the old one had two glass walls and windows on the other two sides. The new pool is dearer. The price per swim is £4.75, compared to the £3.40 users paid at the old pool, a rise of 40%. Sport and leisure operator Everyone Active, who run the sport centre on Scarborough Council’s behalf, are encouraging people to become members for £22 a month. Swimmers would have to go six or seven times a month to pay the same per swim as before. The Sub Aqua Club has been told it can use the new pool but the Canoe Club has been told it can’t, as the canoes could damage it. Both clubs used the old pool for training. Parking meters will eventually be installed in
the sport-centre carpark and users refunded, as they were at the old pool and sport centre. On behalf of residents, two borough councillors have objected to the sale of alcohol and playing of music until midnight, seven days a week at the sport centre. As a result, the council’s licensing committee had added “amendments and controls” to the centre’s licence, said Mark Vesey and Steve Siddons. Everyone Active “say they want to be good neighbours so let’s hope we can all work together to ensure residents’ lives are not
blighted by noise and late-night disturbance”, Cllr Vesey said.

Old team mascot cheers Boro on Words and photo by Dave Barry
BORO’S old mascot has welcomed the team back to Scarborough. Barmby used to sit in the wooden stand at the old ground, where Lidl is now. “When it was demolished in 1979, I rescued him and he has been sitting on my sofa ever since”, says John Fawcett, was a director of the club for 25 years and had two spells as chairman. John took Barmby, wearing a Boro scarf, to see the new ground. “It seemed like a suitable occasion to bring him down”, he said. Barmby travelled to away fixtures including Wembley in the official coach with players and directors. The club reached the final of the FA Trophy four times during the 1970s (1973 v Wigan Athletic, 1975 v Matlock Town, 1976 v Stafford Rangers and 1977 v Dagenham). The mascot was named after a famous Scarborough player. “Jeff Barmby was a great little striker and a wonderful character who played for us in the 60s and 70s. “To this day, he is remembered with great affection by the fans from that era,” recalls John, who was “greatly impressed” with

everything at the new sports village. “I congratulate everyone who was involved in bringing the project to fruition. It is great that the Boro are returning home after 10 years exile in Bridlington”.

I’M going to miss Scarborough’s old swimming pool. I’ve been going there once or twice a week for about 30 years and reckon I’ve swum well over 1,000 miles in it. The thing I’ll probably miss most is the natural light flooding in from all sides, but especially through the two walls which were mostly glass, the biggest of which you could see the castle through. I was the last member of the public to get out during the final session on 3 June and the first to get in for the inaugural public session at the new pool on 5 June. I’ve heard a rumour that someone was considering running the old pool privately but haven’t been able to confirm this. It would be nice, even though it had been allowed to fall into disrepair and would probably need a lot of money spending on it. After all, it was built with funds raised by the public and theoretically still belongs to the public, although legally it is owned by the council. In the late 60s and early 70s, a big fundraising campaign raised enough money to build it. Adults, schoolchildren, scouts, guides, etc, organised sponsored walks, functions, dances and countless other events. The pool opened in January 1973, recalls Pam Morgan, who was one of the first lifeguards. It was the town’s first municipal indoor
swimming pool. Previously, people swam in the open-air pools in the north and south bays, and in the sea. In May 1973, Pam and her parents, Cliff and Anne Russell, and her late husband Trevor launched Scarborough Swimming for the Disabled Club, which Pam ran for 36 years.

Scarborough Review
Valley flowerbeds designed by children Words and photos by Dave Barry IMAGINE being a child and seeing your artwork turned into a big flowerbed where everyone can see it. The fantasy became reality for six pupils at schools in Scarborough and Seamer. Children from Friarage in the old town and Seamer & Irton primary were asked to produce a circular picture of their favourite nursery rhyme. Friarage pupil Purva Patel, 9, drew Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Seamer & Irton pupils Phoebe Philps, 10, and Isobelle Cammish, 7, came up with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and I’m a Little Teapot respectively. Their designs were chosen from hundreds of entries and turned into three large flowerbeds in the Valley by Scarborough Council gardeners. But the gardeners didn’t do all the work as a few pupils from each school turned up to lend a hand, along with the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith. Unfortunately, Phoebe couldn’t make it. Each year, schools are invited to enter the competition by organisers Sheila Johnson and Roger Burnett.

Totally Socially’s Long Weekend celebrates wonderful community work Words and photo by Dave Barry SOMETHING for everyone is promised at Totally Socially’s Long Weekend, from Friday 7 to Monday 10 July. With four events across four days, it is a terrific opportunity to have fun, meet people and find out what Totally Socially is all about. All events are free and open to the public but a ticket is needed for the castle event; it is printed on this page. The Long Weekend is a unique collaboration between voluntary organisations, community groups and businesses from Scarborough and elsewhere. Besides Totally Socially, they are Coast and Vale Community Action (CaVCA), Yorkshire Coast homes, English Heritage, Yorkshire in Business, Sunny’s café and Yorkshire Coast Enterprise. Totally Socially project coordinator David Stone says: “The Long Weekend has put us on the map, with national organisations (Big Lottery Fund, Social Enterprise UK and Locality) coming to speak at our conference. “It also gives us an opportunity to hear from projects elsewhere, like the wonderful Incredible Edible Todmorden. “More than that, it’s an opportunity to feel good about ourselves as a community and if there are things we want to change, we can start those conversations”. David says: “Totally Socially brings people together and creates opportunities. The Long Weekend will celebrate all the wonderful work being done in communities and provide the inspiration and information that will help us all achieve even more”. “Yorkshire Coast Homes are proud to be part of Totally Socially”, said social enterprise manager Bob Spedding. “It’s a great weekend celebrating community cohesion. We are particularly pleased how the event brings together private business, social enterprises, charitable organisations and budding entrepreneurs, because they all play an important role in the success of our communities”. Jenn Crowther, head of operations at Yorkshire in Business, adds: “Yorkshire Coast Enterprise loves to be involved in the Long Weekend as we have been supporting new and existing businesses on the coast for over 30 years as a social enterprise. “It’s great to celebrate the area’s social enterprises and this weekend brings us all together to collaborate and celebrate what we achieve in our local communities”. Castle manager Simon Roe said: “There is a real sense of community in Scarborough and we are proud to be part of that. Totally Socially do such a wonderful job of connecting people and businesses. “At English Heritage, we are pleased to be able to let local residents in for free to see not only what the castle has to offer but what Scarborough offers as a whole”, Simon says. “I am very grateful for the help I have had from Sian Johnson of Sunny’s café, who has been orchestrating the community day for me. With Sian’s support, residents can be sure to enjoy a day full of stalls, activities, free guided tours, a barbecue and lots of fun and games for all the family – and hopefully a search and rescue demonstration by the coastguard”. CaVCA is a social enterprise operating in the borough of Scarborough, the district of Ryedale and Hull. News about the events will be posted on the Totally Socially Facebook page; it features a

I’ve been out and about this month taking photos. While most people like to snap a good view or a nice sunset, with me it’s rocks. This can lead to some strange moments. A man walking his dog near Allerston stopped to watch me pointing my tripod and camera at a stone wall. ‘Grand day,’ he said, but he probably meant ‘What on earth are you doing?’ Last week there was a lovely forecast for the evening hours, so I set off for Sutton Bank with a boot full of camera equipment, a banana for my tea, and a head full of optimism. Just past Helmsley a bank of grey cloud started to fill the western horizon. ‘Where’s that come from?’ I wondered and I wasn’t the only one. Several farmers were out turning an early hay cut, looking to the skies and scratching their heads. Undeterred I ploughed on. I parked near a spot called Dialstone, loaded up and walked up to the Cleveland Way at Boltby. The sudden view across the Vale of York was spectacular. Here you’re standing on the top of the Middle Jurassic looking down to Triassic rocks on the valley floor 110 feet below. The escarpment
As Charles II is supposed to have said, the English summer is three fine days and a thunderstorm. He was right about one thing — however long the heatwave, it always has the same ending. When warm humid air collides with cold air, towering thunderclouds are the result. Our ancestors heard thunder as the voice of the sky god, and saw his weapons flying as flashes of light. Sometimes his thunderbolts missed the target and plunged into the ground, where they turned to stone. These “thunderstones” were really dart-shaped belemnites, smooth black fossils. The belief that lightning never strikes the same place twice made thunderstones into prized amulets. July brings the feast day of that wet blanket, St Swithin, a bishop of Winchester who died in 862. Humble Swithin asked to be buried out in the minster yard where “the sweet rain of heaven” could fall on his grave. But when he became a saint, the monks moved the bishop’s remains to a more suitable shrine inside. On that fateful day — July 15 — Swithin made his point with a heavy downpour, followed by forty days of rain and floods. We shouldn’t fuss over the number because in legend, forty was commonly used to indicate a long time. Yet we can’t ignore the saint’s warning because in mid-July our weather does tend to become stuck in a rut. However, that means he can also predict a dry spell: “St Swithin’s Day if ye be fair, for forty days ‘twill rain nae mair.”

below was gouged by massive ice sheets travelling south, gouging and ripping through the rocks and leaving a great inland cliff. Unfortunately the bank of grey cloud was turning nasty – I watched the rain over Thirsk and cursed the BBC Weather website – the whole of England was supposed to be dry. I figured I had around half an hour. I turned north along the clifftop for a few hundred yards then ducked down into Boltby quarry, where layers of Middle Jurassic grit are exposed. I just had time to put up my tripod and get snapping when the first drops started to fall. I kept going until the lens started getting spotty, packed up and marched back towards the car. I soon discovered that the rain was being thrown horizontal by a strong wind; by the time I got back I was drenched. Next day I downloaded the photos onto my computer expecting the worst, but surprise, surprise they were really rather lovely – if you like photos of wet rocks, which of course we all do.

Hopefully conditions will suit emerging butterflies, which are the offspring of those we saw in the spring. Commas and small tortoiseshells are drawn to red valerian, buddleia, and the spires of lavender and catmint. Less glamorous are the little brown ringlets that visit the flowers of bramble bushes. These hedgerow butterflies have neat chocolate wings, with a white circle near the tip. In July young swifts join their parents in the sky, swooping on curved wings in pursuit of
Amazing Agapanthus The Muck and Magic Gardeners have received a question this week from Mrs Potter who lives in Scarborough North Bay. She would like to know if it is possible to grow Agapanthus in her garden and how does she look after them to get them flowering year after year? Agapanthus are a graceful addition to any border or patio and bring a tropical feel to the garden. However, despite appearances they are tougher and more vigorous than we sometimes give them credit for. If you follow a few simple rules you too can add a touch of South African glamour to your borders. The first and most important point in our muck and magic guide to growing amazing agapanthus is to plant in the right place. This means full sun and well drained soil. Any hint of shade and you will get lots of foliage but very little flower. Choose a John Innes potting compost for your containers as this contains a longer lasting supply of nutrients than a peat based compost. Throughout the growing season feed your plants regularly up to flowering and water freely. Continue to water well into autumn to help form next years flower buds. If you are not getting the flowers you would expect from your agapanthus the lack of watering in Autumn may be one reason why! In mid to late autumn and through winter water only very sparingly. Gardeners are recommended to bring plants in over the winter but if this isn't possible choose a permanent planting site by a house wall. This has the dual advantage of slightly drier conditions and the plant will benefit from the warmth of the wall. Generally
flying insects. Enjoy them now, because by August they’ll be gone. For us, the high-spirited cries of swifts are a well-loved sound of summer, yet in the past those cries set teeth on edge. Swallows and house martins were lucky summer visitors, but the wild, restless swifts were seen as sinister. What else could they be, but screaming devil birds? Another summer visitor will be stealing away this month. After all, once their eggs are tucked into other birds’ nests, the cuckoos’
speaking, you are more in danger of losing your plants to the wet rather than the cold! Finally, if you are planning to bring your plants in for winter avoid warm conditions, especially if they are in a house conservatory. Frost free is ideal. Over-warm winter temperatures may again have a detrimental effect on next years flowers. Agapanthus plants like to be cosy in their containers and old gardeners will tell you that they won't flower until the roots are touching the sides of the pot. So, if you are starting young plants use a smaller container to begin with and pot up each year into a larger pot increasing gradually to a permanent pot size. I hope Mrs Potter has a go at growing agapanthus in her garden and that she lets us know how she gets on. If you are proud of your garden why not consider entering it into the Muck and Magic Gardens competition. This is a fun event which gives you an opportunity to tell us how much you love your little piece of paradise. For more details and an entry form you can ring Sheila on 07961 966617 or e mail muckandmagic@ hotmail.com Happy Gardening! work is over. Their youngsters will stay until September, when they will make the long journey to the Congo rainforest without any help from their parents. Last month, Historic England added a newly restored hill figure to the list of scheduled monuments — the Bulford Kiwi on Salisbury Plain. New Zealand soldiers, who were waiting for transport home after the war, carved the giant bird into a hillside in 1919. England’s hill figures are almost all in the south. The North has only one, inspired by the most intriguing of them all — the White Horse of Uffington, in Oxfordshire. This stylised image of a running horse has been a tourist attraction since the fourteenth century. Yet its age was an enduring mystery until the 1990s, when the trenches that form the Horse’s sweeping lines were dated. The Uffington White Horse has occupied that hillside for around 3,000 years. In 1857, one tourist was so impressed that he hatched a plan to create his own White Horse. Home for Thomas Taylor was Kilburn in North Yorkshire, where work began in November of that year on the steep flank of Roulston Scar. Kilburn’s schoolmaster and his pupils marked out the horse — it’s 318 feet long — while local volunteers removed the topsoil. Today the Kilburn White Horse is a Yorkshire landmark, visible for miles. Take a closer look from the small car park below it, or park at the Sutton Bank Visitor Centre and enjoy a walk with fantastic views.

Open gardens raise £2,856 for church Words and photos by Dave Barry By opening their beautiful gardens to the public for a few hours, a group of greenfingered villagers in Hutton Buscel raised £2,856. The money will help maintain St Matthew’s Church in the village. The gardens varied from small to large and from formal to wildlife. They had recovered from recent heavy rain and high winds to give a lot of pleasure to many people, said one of the organisers, Shirley Doyle. “It went extremely well and was very well attended”, Shirley added. “We would like to thank the public for supporting us”. Jane Worthington is pictured in her garden, in the centre of the village, with her daughter Sadie Lamplough and grandson Declan Larsen, who was living in Australia but recently moved to the UK. “I do all my gardening apart from the lawn”, Jane explained.

WI’s 27th annual show in Burniston
Women’s Institute committee members with an Ikebana arrangement by Avril Reading, front right (to order photos ring 353597)
Words and photo by Dave Barry SMALL country shows are part of the rich tapestry of life in villages up and down the country. A good example is the 27th annual show run by Burniston & Cloughton Women’s Institute. Held at the village hall in Burniston, it was open to residents of villages within a large radius. There were six categories: handicrafts, cookery, children, vegetables, photography and flowers / plants. One of the most eye-catching exhibits was by committee member Avril Reading. It was in the style of Ikebana, the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging.
Avril has been studying the Ichiyo school of Ikebana for 43 years. Ichiyo means one leaf. Her interest stems from her mother, who lived in Hong Kong and followed the western school of Ikebana. Ikebana became popular around the world during the second half of the 20th century, as a result of the American occupation of Japan. Avril’s arrangement featured shogi screens, a tatami mat, lilies, carnations, a bare silver birch branch and the leaves of iris, camellia, heuchera and hosta. With 24 members, the branch meets at the hall at 7pm on the second Thursday of every month except February. “We often have a speaker,” explains Val Judge, who chairs the group. Members also meet for coffee at the Three Jolly Sailors pub on the last Tuesday of the winter months. The branch organises craft sessions and outings and meets other WI groups. They will vsit the Coptic monastery at Langdale End in July and are hoping to go on a coach trip to Hull in August. Earlier this year, members teamed up with seven other WIs at the Raven Hall Hotel in Ravenscar. New members are welcome - ring 870495.

Free weekly tours of pre-Raphaelite gem Words and photos by Dave Barry FREE tours of a Scarborough church hailed as “a Pre-Raphaelite gem” are being given every week. “We're trying to put the church more on the map”, explains Mike Bortoft, who organises tours of St Martin’s, on the South Cliff. Mike knows just about everything there is to know about the history of the church and, in particular, its beautiful stained-glass windows. The building was designed by one of the country’s most distinguished architects, George Bodley (1827-1907). An early and exceptionally fine example of Bodley’s oeuvre, it is in the Gothic Revival style. It has a tall tower at the north side of the east end, a saddle-back roof, a large rose window at the west end and porches off the sides. It was described by art historian and traveller Nikolaus Pevsner as “a Pre-Raphaelite gem”.
The Pre-Raphaelites, all friends of Bodley, played a significant role in the decoration of the lofty interior. Much of the decoration and stained glass was undertaken by William Morris; it was one of Morris & Co’s earliest major commissions. Morris was jointly responsible for the chancel ceiling and the 10 painted panels on the pulpit; the others are by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox Brown. The altar wall has blind bar tracery by Bodley containing Adoration of the Magi by Edward Burne-Jones. The east wall is decorated with paintings designed by Rossetti, Morris and Burne-Jones. Bodley reappeared to design the reredos and rood-screen in 1889. The church was paid for by a well-heeled South Cliff resident, Mary Craven, who saw it as a memorial to her father. Mr Bortoft is pictured by the Dorothea and Theophilus window by Burne-Jones. From left to right, the three sections portray
A good year for the church roses Words and photos by Dave Barry SEVERAL big anniversaries are being celebrated at Northstead Methodist Church in Scarborough. This year, the church celebrates its 50th anniversary, its Brownies have been there 30 years and its Rainbows will celebrate the national group’s 30th birthday. And next year, the church’s guides will have been there for 30 years. To mark the anniversaries, each unit planted a bush in the church’s rose garden, assisted by the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith. The three bushes matched the colours of the uniforms worn by each unit, explained Sharon Robinson, leader of the 1st Scarborough (Northstead) Rainbows.

Words by Mike Tyas A GROUP of 20 Scarborough youngsters are looking forward to their duties after becoming new volunteer police cadets. The 14 to 16-year-olds were officially sworn-in in front of family and friends at a ceremony at Scarborough TEC where they meet once a week to learn about policing and the law, and take part in drill and sports. A new volunteer unit was begun in Scarborough last November. It is one of only two in the county; the other being in York. The new cadets will give three hours each month to help police activities around the town. “I‘ve really enjoyed my time so far and proud to be part of the unit, said new cadet Caitlin Hyem. “I’ve really enjoyed lessons on things such as crime scene

St Dorothea, an angel and St Theophilus. “The window portraying Dorothea is perhaps the most intriguing of the three because until recently we believed the model for Dorothea was Jane Morris”, Mr Bortoft says. However, Suzanne Fagence Cooper, who has written extensively on the Pre-Raphaelites and Victorian women, stated in a talk at the church that it is Maria Zambaco (1843–1914). Mr Bortoft says: “The window was installed in 1873, soon after Burne-Jones and Zambaco finished a rather public and torrid affair. Despite this, Burne-Jones continued to use her as a model for many of his later works”. The Annunciation by Burne-Jones is depicted in the middle of the rose window in the west wall. It is surrounded by nine panels featuring angelic musicians, designed by Burne-Jones and Morris. The Pre-Raphaelite windows are complemented by others created by the firm of Burlison and Grylls, in the parish office,
narthex and baptistry. * The one-hour tours are on Tuesdays, starting at 10.30am. Organ recitals will be given by the Svyati Duo (30 June), Simon Morley (21 July) and Philip Moore (15 Sep), all at 7pm. Tickets cost £8, including a buffet supper. n The church’s website is at www.friendsofstmartins.co.uk.

Val Johnson has handed over the lifeboat chequebook and safe keys to Tina Boden. Val joined the local RNLI team as a fundraiser 20 years ago and took over as treasurer in 2000. “Over those years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside some lovely people and I take many good memories away with me”, says Val, who will remain a keen RNLI supporter. “I am sure I have left you in capable hands”, she adds. “Tina has many ideas and thoughts about helping to move the station forward. We are very lucky at Scarborough to have such an enthusiastic team keeping us moving forward. We are all cogs in the machine, each part as valuable as the next and all reliant on each other. “I’d like to thank all the personnel at the lifeboat station, including the many supporters whose valuable work, day in, day out, often goes unrecognised.

Tina, who chairs the Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund, will be supported by Ian Bennett, in the new role of vice-treasurer. Lifeboat operations manager John Senior said: “Val has worked tirelessly for 17 years as our treasurer and without her Herculean effort Scarborough lifeboat station would not be where it is today. “So a very big thank you to Val from all here on the operational team. We would also like to welcome Tina as our new treasurer and we all look forward to working with her in the future”.

Scarborough Review

Scarborough Tales
BY JOE COATES
Sir George Cayley, the Father of Aeronautics Not far afield from Scarborough is the picturesque village of Brompton, where George Cayley became a globally recognised pioneer in aviation and engineering. George would feature on any list of “greatest Yorkshiremen”. His catalogue of achievements is awesome and I can’t mention them all as I tell his story. “George! It’s getting late! Time a ten year old was in bed! It’s too dark to be drawing pictures in candlelight! What are you doing anyway?” “Look at this Father! You know the hot-air balloons! I’m sure if the shape of the balloon was more like a bird’s wings, these balloons would fly better. Look at this idea!” “You’re full of these ideas George. But it’s bedtime. Maybe when you are older you could make some of these things ……..” and he certainly did. George Cayley was born in Scarborough in 1773. At the age of 19, when his
father died, George became Baron of the family estates at Brompton-by-Sawdon. He spent his life working on engineering projects to benefit all. Aged 31, he designed a small glider with a cross-shaped tail. As he watched how it glided when thrown down a steep hill, George’s imagination leapt. Maybe a bigger model would be able to carry a person! Five years later George had built a glider of 300 square feet. That’s about the size of your front room! In later models he added a wheel undercarriage and a “whirling arm” propeller. At the time there was a serious flooding problem for farm land in the Vale of York. George was asked what could be done. He designed and had built a drainage scheme for flood control all the way to the North Sea via the Sea Cut, still in operation more than 200 years later. “It’s getting late husband! Time Sir George was in bed! What are you doing anyway?” “Look at this Sarah dear! Here’s a drawing of an artificial hand I could make for that farmer who had the accident. And I’ve worked out how we can cut down on accidents on the railways. And here is a design for a boat which
will put itself right-way-up if it overturns in the sea, just the job for a lifeboat.” “You’re full of these ideas George, and you’re doing great things. But don’t forget you’re also a Member of Parliament and you’re going to London soon …” Sir George also worked on caterpillar wheels for tractors travelling across all types of land. He designed parachutes, and seat belts. However, after a break of several years, he returned to aviation, his main passion and built a succession of ever-improving gliders. At the age of 79 his big day arrived. “Grandpa Sir George! It’s getting late! Time you were in bed! It’s a big day tomorrow.” “I know, Dora. Please come to see my new, big glider fly at Brompton Dale. Guess what! It’s controllable and a man is going to fly in it!” “Really, a man flying! That’s impossible! Is he nervous?” “No, I haven’t told him yet!” The next day, granddaughter Dora, watched in amazement as George Cayley’s glider flew nearly fifty metres across Brompton Dale, carrying the nervous elderly coachman, John Appleby. This was the first major breakthrough in heavier-than-air flight in
the world. The year of this historic flight was 1852, about 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first aircraft in America. Grand daughter Dora never forgot this day and she spoke of it many times, recalling that when the plane landed, the shaken, bewildered coachman called out across the Dale, “Please Sir George, I wish to give notice. I was hired to drive, not fly!” This was George Cayley’s finest achievement, the flight of the world’s first aeroplane. He died in 1857, the “father of aerodynamics” and certainly one of Yorkshire’s and England’s greatest! Copyright joecoates 2017 www.northbaytales.com
Sponsored toddle raises £1k Words by Mike Tyas & pictures by James Giddings TODDLERS who visit a Scarborough childminder put their best feet forward to help a hospice that cares for local children. The boys and girls, aged up to around four years of age, really enjoyed their sponsored walk with childminder Leanne Mangan and her three assistants that raised a fantastic £1100 for Martin’s House. The toddle from Leanne’s home where she runs her business on Prospect Park, Barrowcliff was two miles on four successive days, with some of the youngsters so loving every minute they even went on the walk twice. “The kids all really enjoyed their walk, and it was for such a fantastic cause,” said Leanne. Receiving the cheque on behalf of the Scarborough Friends of Martin House was Marty the bear who gave all the toddlers a special big hug to say thank you for going on the walk.
Marty the bear receives the bumper cheque from Amelia Woods and Jaxon Moon Clive Townsend, of the Friends, said: “Raising £1100 is a fantastic effort by all those who supported Leanne and the kids going on the walk. We would like to thank them all very much.” Leanne decided to support Martin’s House as that was the chosen charity of her late grandfather Fred Blackstone.
The tots get a helping hand on their walk. She said: “When my granddad got to 90 he did not want birthday presents any more so asked for donations to go to Martin House. “My mother and I have continued to support the charity as it provides so much care and love for children from Scarborough and the Yorkshire coast, and their families.” Martin House, based at Boston Spa near Wetherby, provides respite, terminal and
bereavement care for children in the Scarborough area and in other parts of North Yorkshire, who have a life-limiting illness. The facility has nine bedrooms and costs £6.5 million a year to run, most of which is raised through public donation. There is no charge to families using its services. Martin House fundraiser Alison Wragg, said they were “absolutely delighted” to receive such an amount from the children’s toddle. She added: “It’ such a huge amount of money raised through the hard work of such little people and from Leanne in putting together the sponsored walk.” This year is Martin House’s 30th anniversary. They provide support for about 460 families across North, East and West Yorkshire. • A bucket collection held at Proudfoots in Newby on behalf of Martin’s House raised £661.94 “We would like to thank everybody who contributed,” said Clive Townsend. “It was a magnificent amount of money to raise in just one day.”
Children can be carers Words and photos by Dave Barry WHEATCROFT School pupils have been learning how children can be carers and look after relatives at home. The school was visited by a member of Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource, which is based in Snainton. Emma Teasdale, a young-carer transition worker, spoke about caring at a school assembly. Emma’s daughter Amber, 10, is a pupil at the school and a member of its community education team. The team helps the school become a better

place by encouraging pupils to show compassion, integrity, resilience, citizenship, respect, perseverance, honesty, courage and fairness, with effective communication. Each one of the 215 pupils made a cut-out character representing a carer. The cut-outs were joined together to make bunting which was used at a Carers Resource family fun day at Snainton village hall. Twilight Productions recently raised awareness for Carers Resource by dressing as Disney characters and raffling a big Minnie mouse in the Brunswick Centre. Wheatcroft pupils with some of the bunting

They are being run by Scarborough Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Institute (SCPTI) in Ramshill, on the South Cliff. “I am really looking forward to these new horizons”, Tim says. “Here at SCPTI, we are at the forefront of relational psychotherapy and counselling and its unique process-led approach to some of the most exciting developments in the world of psychotherapy and counselling”. The courses are being run by Tim and Lydia Noor. SCPTI has been running training courses
Helping adults get back into education by Dave Barry A FREE introduction to higher education is being offered by Coventry University’s Scarborough campus. Adults looking to return to education will be able to explore a range of courses without making a commitment. The Connect course aims to boost confidence in adults who may not be in education, employment or training, and to give a university taster experience. The two-hour sessions will be held on five Wednesdays, from 5 July, from 10am to noon and from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. They will deliver a foundation of information and skills needed to study at a higher level. The campus provost, Professor Craig

Gaskell, said: “Connect is a short course designed to prepare adults to get back into education. “It will provide people with the opportunity to experience higher education in a relaxed environment and discover whether it is something that will suit them. “Participants will be given information on how to progress to university and the skills needed to succeed. It will also give people who are maybe on the edge of deciding whether to pursue one of our courses the vital information to make an informed decision”.

since 1991. Its move to a building at the top of Westbourne Grove in 2013 gave it space to grow and innovate. In May, 15 trainees graduated at a well-attended awards ceremony. In September, Gestalt therapist Richard Hycner will give a lecture and run a workshop, his first in North Yorkshire, during a whistle-stop tour of the UK. Richard, who lives in California, has been a therapist for over 30 years and is the author and co-author of several books on working relationally. Tim says: “Counselling and psychotherapy is about becoming more of who you really are and helping others to do the same. “Mental-health problems are often just the start of this journey and once on this journey every moment is the goal”.

Lots of heart Words by Howard Mosely-Chalk
You might have attended many events in the past which were working to raise funds for worthwhile causes. However, the organiser of the Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea Party, taking place 5th August at Bridge Farm, Seamer, knows more than most the importance of helping charities. Amelia Scholey, owner of Amelia's Chocolate on Victoria Street, was only 15 when she urgently needed a heart transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. Now, 15 years later (and recently married), Amelia welcomes one and all to celebrate with her, while raising funds for the hospital, the British Heart Foundation, charity Live Life Give Life, and The Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association. The special day will be filled with plenty of fun, with afternoon tea starting from 2pm. Bring the
kids, and make sure they are in fancy dress, as they'll be prizes for the best, and most creat i vel y, dressed. Then, from 6pm, the evening fun will kick off with a hog roast and entertainment from The Blighty Belles. Get along, have fun, and know you're helping worthwhile causes that, to which Amelia can attest, actually help people to live and enjoy happy lives. n Visit www.ameliaschocolate.co.uk

Lucky Daphne’s got all the answers. Write to her care of Your Local Link and she’ll soon sort you out.
Dear Daphne, I’ve recently been finding dog poo on my front lawn. No matter how many times I pick it up, within a few days more appears. The other day I was watching out of my window to catch the perpetrator, when I saw my neighbours dog crimp one out on my lawn while he was cleaning his car out and didn't notice. I’m sure he must have realised that this is happening regularly. How do I make it stop? Anon
FOUL PROBLEM
Dog fouling is the blight of British footpaths and I understand your disdain. This depends on how you get on with your neighbours. If you have a healthy relationship and there’s a chance they haven’t noticed, it’s worth just letting them know that you saw their dog poo on your lawn, and ask them kindly to keep an eye out for it happening in future. If you don't have a good relationship and you believe this oversight is intentional you have two options. The sensible and effective option is to report them to your local council. The fun and disgusting option, is to save the dog poo up, and then strategically place it on your neighbours’ lawn in places you think they are most likely to step.
HOUSEWORK SHMOUSEWORK
Hey Daphne, I recently got into an awkward conversation with my partner, we’re planning on moving in together this year and we’ve uncovered that he has pretty old fashioned

principals about who should do housework, cooking and looking after children. It’s something that had never come up before as when I’m at mine I do the majority, and when we’re at his place, he does. I work more hours than him, but anticipated we would split housework half and half. I don't want to be the one doing all of the hard work, how can I change his opinion? Changing perceptions that are ingrained in someone form their upbringing is a very difficult thing to do. Though he may say these are his views, in practice does he genuinely think you should do more, despite working longer hours? If so he’s a turd and you can’t let this hypothetical become your reality. Stay strong, make sure he knows that you’re not prepared to take the bulk and iron out what tasks you will both do prior to moving in together - before it’s too late! If he’s a reasonable and levelheaded bloke, this shouldn’t turn into an unhealthy debate. If it does, move very carefully - doing more housework might not be a reason to leave someone you love, but deep rooted sexism totally is.
Dear Daphne, My friend did the most terrible prank on me and I am furious. I had to mercy kill a wild bunny rabbit my cat had brought back to my house, it was very badly injured. After I told my friend she got one of her friends to post on a local buy and sell group pretending her small rabbit had gone missing in the village I live in, as a joke. I was distraught and genuinely thought I had killed someone’s pet without consulting them - I even rang my dad in tears before she admitted it was a joke. I can’t decide whether I want to get her back with an equally terrible prank or fall out with her. J, Askham Bryan
PRANK GONE WRONG
That’s so mean! She’s added a new dimension to the term ‘wicked’ sense of humour, like you hadn’t been through enough already. Is she usually a good friend and someone you deem worth holding onto? If so, plot to get her back - I rarely recommend revenge but this is the perfect opportunity for you to have a laugh at her expense and level the playing field. You might have to wait some time for a situation to arise where you can prank her just as good - but it needs to be unexpected. However, if this feels like the final straw, then you know what to do - cut her out of your life, what she did was truly harsh. LOOKING FOR ADVICE? HAVE A BURNING QUESTION? LET US HELP!

KITCHEN COLLECTION
SR July 2017.indd 26
By Krystal Starkey Two million 18-34 year olds registered to vote in The LauraTwo Ashley Kitchen this general election. million. I’ll Collection get into the is now available to view at: nitty gritty Corbynite chatter later. But right now, I’m just feeling dead chuffed that we’re all getting into politics. Smack bang in the middle of this new wave of voters is my own generation: The Millennials. We’ve had a pretty badStockist press,for labelled as Appointed the Ashley Kitchen Collection narcissistic and Laura phone obsessed, but our better qualities, including a familiarity with online communications and a more liberal approach to politics could’ve been some of the major factors in this election’s results. Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, My Corbyn inspired many voters. Turnout overall was up, and turnout among the young, was up big-style. It might have been to vote against him, might have been for him - but hey, more of us voted. Interestingly, class is no longer the main divider
in politics either, it’s age. The young campaigned for Labour online like never before. Meme’s of Jeremy Corbyn, videos of people chanting his name at gigs and plenty of illustrations in his favour saturated my news feeds. The manifesto proved popular, but not as popular as the man himself by the end of it. I loved his sincerity, his ideals and his boyish charm.
“A NEW BATCH OF VOTERS HAVE CLEARED THEIR THROATS” Popularity contests aside: each generation faces new challenges. The term, Generation Rent, springs to mind. There are predictions that first time buyers would need to be earning £64,000 a year to own a home by 2020 - HAHA as if! My generation saw uni fee’s double, the NHS struggle and our membership of the EU go south. Seven years of austerity aka our whole young adulthood so far, has been tough and we’re getting sick of it.
To put it into perspective, according to the most recent Lord Ashcroft poll: 67% of 18-24 year olds and 58% of 25-34 year olds voted labour. In the last few general elections youth turnout was only around 40%. Sky News reported that 66.4% of 18-24 year olds voted this time round. A new batch of voters have cleared their throats, meaning successfull manifestos of the future will need to consider them, in order to win. But why stop there? I’d love to see public affairs and politics taught in all schools across the UK, young people should be able to come out of school able to understand political issues, bringing a higher vote turnout, and a truly representative parliament. This election should just be the beginning. We’ve still got distance to cover in terms of turnout at the polling stations and education could go a long way towards helping that. But I’m glad that young people are becoming interested in politics of their own accord, it affects all of us.

The world is pretty great place, but there are one or two nasty types out there who would love nothing better than to ruin your day. Fortunately we have some advice...
Not a love letter
Despite a growing trend toward online and digital scams, fraudsters are still utilising good ol' mail to try and get people to part with their money. One such postal scam that occurred in Kent a few years ago saw a whopping 20,000 send one scamartist more than £500,000 in just a single day. Bloody idiots, eh? Well, not really, as postal scams can seen so genuine and honest. Usually they take the form of some kind of prize announcement, informing the recipient that they have won a large amount of cash. To release the cash, all they need to do is send the supposed
Not very social
On Twitter? You may have noticed that many of the celebrities you follow have a little blue tick next to their user name. This means that Twitter has verified their account and you can trust that they are who they say they are, and not some faker. However, getting a verified tick has become something of a status symbol, and even noncelebrities are keen to get their account recognised by the head honchos of Twitter. A new form of scam has sprung up due to this, where users with a large number of followers are approached, seemingly by a Twitter executive, and asked if they would like that blue tick on their profile. And hey... it'll only cost them a few hundred pounds.
legitimate company a small amount of money to process the prize. Which, unfortunately, many people do. Postal scams are often followed by telephone calls, claiming to be from the company that sent the letter, making sure the person has read it. Here the fraudsters also ask people to pay over the phone with their credit card, which is an even more dangerous type of scam. If you get a letter claiming that you have won a prize, ask yourself... have I actually entered any competitions? Even if you have, and are awaiting news of a potential win, no legitimate company would ever ask you to pay to unlock your prize. Never send any cash to anyone, and hang up on calls asking for your credit card details to do the same. Report any letters and calls to your local authority. Obviously, this is not an official Twitter way of working, and nobody ever pays for verified recognition. But that hasn't stopped thousands of people across the world falling for this kind of vanity scam. If you are hoping for verification on Twitter, you should never have to pay for it, so be sure to ignore any messages you receive stating the contrary. Report everything dodgy to Twitter – there is a little button on all tweets and messages you get to do just that.
Osgodby boat returns to the floral ocean Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE old fishing boat that formed the centrepiece of a floral display in Osgodby has been overhauled. Osgodby in Bloom volunteers asked Scarborough Council’s community environment officer Roger Burnett for advice on how to rebuild the boat, which is near the village pub. The boat, which is 40-50 years old, was in a sorry state, with peeling paint and rotting wood. A complete transformation was required. “The boat was placed there over 10 years ago and the passage of time and weather have taken their toll”, explained Roger’s second-incommand, Sheila Johnson. Roger pulled it apart, replacing most of the timber and painting the new-look Asgozbi, as
the boat has been named. “Once it was returned to its moorings, the green-fingered volunteers of Osgodby-inBloom got busy planting the surrounding beds”, Sheila says. They planted bushes and flowers around the boat and a lobster pot and anchor. “Osgodby’s village green has now been returned to its former glory”, says Sheila. The refurbishment cost £300 and was paid for by Southern Cluster, a forum for villages south of Scarborough – Folkton, Flixton, Reighton, Speeton, Cayton, Osgodby and Muston. The boat’s relaunch, on Tuesday, was attended by Paul Riley of Southern Cluster, the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith, and members of Osgodby-in-Bloom. Afterwards, they trooped off to the village community centre for a celebration.

Are you going to Jabbler’s Fayre? Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology
The Great Blue Stone, in a museum store, no longer on public view
by Dav White AN ancient standing stone stood on the approach to the castle near the grounds of St Mary’s Church up until the mid-1800s. Marked on several maps and described in various books as the Great Blue Stone, the Bargain Stone, the Ancient Market Stone and the Old Blue Stone, it was near the carpark between the Phoenix Court and Norbreck hotels, with a fine view of the surrounding landscape. In his book, The History and Antiquities of Scarborough, antiquarian and historian Thomas Hinderwell describes the stone and says it was used for standing on, for making declarations and speeches and for striking bargains during the old Scarborough market. He says: “The old market place was to the north of St Mary's. The Great Blue Stone, which was still to be seen in the fence there, is said to have continued for many ages and to have been the place where public bargains where ratified and discharged as being the custom in those days”. It is anyone's guess as to when and how the stone was put into its original position, before the terraces lining Castle Road were built. Indeed, it could easily be mislabelled as a glacial erratic - a random stone left by a glacier - were it not for its very considered location, as only from this point do the sun and moon rise and set on marked locations on the horizon. From the stone, the movement of the sun and moon could be measured out in the features on the horizon, including the castle headland and the ancient details in the landscape. During the development of Castle Road in the
mid-1800s, the Great Blue Stone was moved into the gardens of the newly established Scarborough Museum at Woodend and later to the Rotunda. The stone is now in the museum stores and has been polished at one end and carved with the words Ancient Market Stone. In 1253, Henry III's charter decreed the opening of the great Jabbler's Fayre at High Tollergate near St Mary's Church. A harvest festival, it was to be held at the time of Lammas, or Loaf Mass, on 12 August. Jabbler's Fayre attracted huge crowds, merchants, jesters and musicians from all over Europe. Labourers and farm hands would offer their services, grazing and tenure rights of pasture were settled and tolls and taxes levied and collected. On fayre day, the sun would have risen over the Queen’s Tower on the castle wall, shining above the old Newborough bar, as seen from the York road (now Westborough). This sunrise could have been the traditional signal indicating the beginning of the fayre. Many cities, towns and villages that pre-date medieval times have the same characteristic. Was the Jabbler's Fayre the fair mentioned in the traditional British ballad Scarborough Fair, made famous by Martin Carthy and later Simon & Garfunkel? Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without a seam or needlework And she shall be a true love of mine Tell him to wash it in yonder dry well Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Where water ne'er sprang nor drop of rain fell And he shall be a true love of mine Often places with standing stones, barrows and earthworks become sites of great meetings and events, which in turn inspire great songs and stories. Sacred sites across the world were founded on locations that are geologically interesting. The area around the castle once suffered a major geological fault which dropped the headland by 60 metres. The pressure applied beneath the surface

The bargain stone, as it was called on this old map, was on Rutland Terrace, now Castle Road. Back of Danyells is now St Mary’s Walk may be the reason for the presence of so many wells on the headland as the water stored deep underground is forced towards the surface. These wells are Our Lady's well by the former Roman signal station, the Ballium well by the castle keep, Thomas Hinderwell's fountain that was near Anne Brontë’ grave and one reputed to be under the church. There seems to be an association between the stresses and strains in the earth’s crust and the pressure on bodies of water or on underlying geology to produce a feeling of levity and happiness in a person’s temperament and disposition. Cue music: Sailing By by Roland Binge. Hello and welcome to The Great Blue Stone Shipping Forecast. The sunrise and sunset times and their locations on the old calendar days as seen from the Great Blue Stone are as follows. Headland rising on Mayday and the opening day of Jabbler’s Fayre are the first and last times in the year that the sun rises in the north bay, appearing in the left hand corner of the headland.
Coomboots falling, on Mayday and the opening day of Jabbler’s Fayre, the sun sets along the row of tumuli along Suffield Moor from the tumulus above Coomboots to Swarth Howe. Coffee Pot Rock rising, on the summer solstice the sun rises left of the headland over Coffee Pot Rock. Nettlehead falling, the sun sets at the point on the horizon marked by the Barrow at Thirley Beck Farm. Keasbeck Hill and Nettlehead make a curious shape on the horizon where the sunset reaches its furthest point north before rolling back westward. Flamborough rising, on the winter solstice the sun rises spectacularly off Flamborough Head. Stepney Falling, the sun sets at the Camp, an interesting earthwork at the top of Stepney Road. It is aligned to a tumulus and Albermarle Baptist church, the building built over the Damyot spring head. The Damyot was the stream that the old town was built around. This was the Great Blue Stone Shipping forecast wishing you a quiet night. DavWhiteArt.com

Humble beginnings for one of UK’s top parks
Early days: the view towards Peasholm Road THE alleviation of poverty was one of the principal motivators behind the creation of Peasholm Park, just over a century ago. Scarborough’s economy swung like a pendulum between summer, when the town was flooded with visitors, and winter, when a large number of people had no work. The corporation which ran the town found gainful, if distinctly underpaid, employment for about 100 men, beginning in December 1910 – the year before unemployment benefit was introduced. During a cold winter, the cheap labour began work on what was to become one of the country’s finest parks and a nationally recognised arboretum. The authority had acquired a dozen acres of rough land known as Tucker’s field just outside the town’s ancient boundaries, occupied by piggeries and allotments. A medieval manor house had stood on the site, which had been owned by the crown estate since the 14th century century. It had been part of the royal manor of Northstead and the estate of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Hundreds of people filled the paths for the opening ceremony The park was one of many feathers in the cap of Harry Smith, the borough’s chief engineer and surveyor from 1897 to 1933. Among Smith’s other achievements were the South Cliff gardens including the Italian gardens, Marine Drive, Northstead Manor gardens, the old south-bay pool, the long-gone Floral Hall and the Mere. Smith’s grand idea was to create a park in a Japanese style, with statues bought from Killerby Hall near Cayton and exotic shrubs and flowers imported from the French Riviera. The lake was dug out by 60 labourers in the winter of 1911. The acquisition of more land from the Duchy of Lancaster in 1921, between Ryndleside and Peasholm Drive, allowed the park to be extended along Peasholm Glen, in 1924. Parts of the side of the glen below Peasholm Drive were privately owned but eventually donated to the corporation. Later in the 1920s, the Japanese theme was extended with the erection of a pagoda on the island hill in the middle of the lake, with

a waterfall tumbling down fake rocks into the lake, and the purchase of sculptures and statues from Kirby Misperton Hall. A miniature golf course was laid out next to Northstead Manor Drive and a bandstand built in the lake. The park became incredibly popular in the late 1930s and after the war. It was used for aquatic displays, musical performances and fireworks. A tree walk was opened in the summer of 1953, at a cost of £7,000. It was extended in later years and became as popular as the rest of the park. The waterfall was lit up in various colours and there were other illuminated displays and storyboards, twinkling fairy lights, etc. One of the attractions on the tree walk was a glass cabinet with a mechanically operated flea circus inside. The tree walk was closed in September 1990 when the council wanted to improve the whole park. It is remembered with great affection by the many people who remember it.
Peasholm Park now has a tree trail. An audit by the national tree register in 1994 revealed that the glen was home to several champion trees – the tallest, widest, best example of a particular species in the country. “We found there was a wealth of arboreal interest at every turn”, according to the Friends of Peasholm, formed in June 2005. “Some of the trees are not just of importance to Scarborough or even to the UK; some are of interest to the world. “At least one of our trees was previously thought extinct. Dickson’s golden elm was thought to have died out during the 1970s when Dutch elm disease wiped out so many of England’s lovely elms”. One tree has yet to be identified, despite the best efforts of the man from the tree register and experts from Kew. “It has been tentatively identified by the botanists of the borough parks department, but this has yet to be verified”, say the Friends. The latest Japanese addition is a statue of a meditating figure in the glen, carved out of a dead tree trunk.

King takes up national office Charity fashion show
held at bowls centre
Words by Mike Tyas
THE former manager of the Rainbow Centre has taken up office as president of a national faith group. Trevor King was commissioned as President of the British Anglican Cursillo Council at a service at St Oswald’s Church, Durham, by the Bishop of Jarrow, the Rt. Revd. Mark Bryant. Cursillo is an international Christian movement which encourages members to act out their faith in every aspect of their lives. Mr King, 60, of Scalby Road and who attends St Mark’s Church, Newby, will serve in the post for three years. He managed the Rainbow Centre from 1997 to 2007. He said: “It’s a great honour to be asked to be President of this amazing movement of which I have been a member for over 25 years.” The commissioning service followed the AGM of British Anglican Cursillo, the umbrella body that supports and coordinates the work of local Cursillo groups in Church of England

Trevor King and the Bishop of Jarrow dioceses across the UK. It was attended by about 80 representatives from 25 dioceses. Mr King, who stepped down from his post as Lay Director of York Cursillo to take up the national post, said he is looking forward to meeting and encouraging members in their local groups. The organisation has approximately 3,000 members in the UK.
A FASHION show by Jacqueline Charles Fashions raised £262.50 for the Mayoress’s Community Fund. It was staged at the Alexandra Bowls Centre, a short distance from the shop. The business, in Trafalgar Square, organised and hosted the show. “My friends baked the cakes and we decided to support the Mayoress’s Community Fund”, explained Jacqueline, pictured second left. There was a good turn-out of 54 including
Val Green, who was still mayoress at the time, and her successor, Cherry Smith. The total raised included £90 from a raffle. The MCF shares the money it raises between charities and organisations in the borough of Scarborough, at the end of each mayoral year. An application form can be found on the council website. It does not donate to profitmaking organisations, churches, schools and national charities, except when the local branch finances and manages itself.
Hymn theme for flower festival Words and photos by Dave Barry A FLOWER festival with a hymn theme raised over £1,760 at St Mary’s Church in Scarborough. Celebrating hymns in art and flowers, it was organised by the Friends of St Mary's. A preview was attended by the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith, local MP Robert Goodwill and Friends president Fred Normandale. Friends chairman Christine Cox said: “Over
the years, we have promoted many flower festivals which have raised a lot of money for the restoration of various areas of St Mary’s. “We began modestly by purchasing pew runners and steady progress has ensured that roofs have been made watertight, the baptistry restored and £35,000 has been spent on the south porch roof and stonework which was in urgent need of restoration”. This year’s festival was coordinated by Anne Binney and June Wilkinson. * On Saturday 12 August, from 2-4.30pm, the Friends will host a tea party in the church grounds.

SCARBOROUGH SURVIVORS have won a Queen’s award for voluntary service. It will be presented by the Lord-Lieutenant of North Yorkshire, Barry Dodd, at a ceremony at Ganton Hall on 12 September. Chief executive officer Andrea Woolcott said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this honour. “It is a testament to those service users who founded the charity back in 1997, who wanted to improve and make a difference to the lives of others affected by mental ill health”, Mrs Woolcott said. “As an organisation, we have grown over the last 10 years to the organisation we are today. The award is the acknowledgement of all we have achieved. “I was truly honoured to attend the Queen’s garden party at Buckingham Palace on behalf of Scarborough Survivors, as their chief executive officer. We look forward to continuing our excellent work and also to the reception later in the summer”. The charity provides and manages a resource centre offering daily activities to promote mental health well-being and to break down isolation. It facilitates a self-supporting group covering Scarborough and the surrounding area. It is run by people with direct experience of mental-health problems, either personally or as a carer, close relative or friend.
Celebrating the Queen’s award are, L-R, Survivors coordinator Christine Mackay, chief executive Andrea Woolcott, volunteer Jordan Bradley and trustee David Turner (to order photos ring 353597) The emphasis is on self-help and sharing information gained from personal experience. A key aspect is to represent the voice of the service user on a wide range of committees and groups locally. Survivors are operating out of temporary premises in Northway while their base in Alma Square is being renovated. Mr Dodd said he was looking forward to meeting members of Survivors at the ceremony in Ganton. “I encourage people to nominate other worthy groups from our county for this award in future”, he added.

Your Letters DEAR EDITOR I am writing as secretary of Churches Together in Scarborough. We are made up of over 40 churches of over seven denominations. Each Sunday, up to 2,000 people attend our churches to worship. During the week, our buildings provide space for meetings for the homeless, AA, pre-schools, parents and tots, Guides, Brownies and Rainbows, Scouts and Cubs, Boys Brigade, coffee mornings, popins and meals for the lonely. The churches work alongside the council and social services, collect food and clothing weekly for the Rainbow Centre and other food banks etc, provide volunteers for Street Angels and support various local charities. Many of our members are volunteers in the hospital, the hospice, old people’s homes, etc. Why am I writing this? For years we have been involved in the community but have always struggled to get information or articles about our churches into any of the local newspapers. A number of folk have noticed that in the Review we have had articles about interesting things happening in our local churches, and we just wanted to thank you. It is so rewarding to be treated on an equal footing with the rest of our community. Other organisations and sports feature regularly but the churches have always been conspicuous by their absence. That appears not now to be the case in the Review, so we just wanted to say thank you. We are spreading the word and hope a lot more of our members will pick up the Review as they shop. Ruth Dale - Secretary, Churches Together DEAR EDITOR, For the past few years I have stood in front of the town hall looking down at the gardens and time and time again see families with prams and buggies even the odd wheelchair trying to get down on the steps. Isn't it about time the council put up a sign to say where they can have easy access to get down or are they just waiting till someone gets seriously injured before they do anything about it all. This wouldn't cost a fortune and would make it a safer place for everyone. Rick Fairweather - Transport To Scarborough Sports Village DEAR EDITOR, I was wondering if there is any intention of providing a bus service to the new Sports Village just as the new service (Number 12) and park and ride provision has been made for the Alpamare Water Park? If so this should not just have a bus stop on Valley Road, but also go up to the Sports Village itself, as it is a long uphill walk particularly for the more senior members in the community. This is a time when exercise activities for the over 50s has been identified as beneficial for health and wellbeing. It is also essential when recovering from injuries and surgery. The aim of keeping fit and active as we grow older, is promoted by various organisations and articles in the press. The location of the new Sports Village makes this particularly difficult for members of the community who do not drive. I would suggest that a bus should run from the town centre, through Ramshill and up to the Sports Village. This would make it accessible to people coming in from the Osgoodby, Eastfield direction, without having to go into town and would also be convenient for people living on the other side of Scarborough. The tourists who visit Scarborough and wish to visit the sports centre and swimming pool, particularly in bad weather would also benefit from such a service. I am member of the Health and Fun Club, currently at the Filey Road Sports Centre, which is for the over 50s and has a membership of over 70 people. For a number of these members, who do not drive, being able to attend the new Sports Village will be impossible given the present transport situation. This will also apply to those people who receive remedial help for injuries and recovery from operations at this centre. I hope the relevant parties can discuss this and that one of the bus companies operating in Scarborough will make such a provision possible. Yours sincerely, Sue Honeyman DEAR EDITOR, Your Time Travel article in the May edition of Scarborough Review, entitled Fighting for education in the 19th century, by Dave Barry, was much

appreciated by the civic office at the town hall, the principal of Gladstone Road School and my fellow researchers in Scarborough. Our visit was very successful with a warm welcome by the mayor and mayoress who showed us the town hall, provided tea and scones and showed us some old documents. The mayor organised a successful search for the Ascough headstone in the mayors’ alley in Manor Road cemetery which had been missed before. We were shown round the school by the principal and the head girl and boy. We have promised to assist with the funding of the archive project that the school has to protect and digitise its original 19th century records which refer to my great grandfather, grandmother and grandfather. We were shown the Masonic Hall where William Ascough, clerk to the school board, and George Dippie, clerk to the borough council, met in the clubroom after work. We are still searching for any private papers of William Ascough and are putting out requests for any leads in that area. We hope the old Scarborough newspapers held on microfiche in the library and the records of Scarborough Council held in the archives at Northallerton can be made available online in the near future. I will be updating my history of William Ascough later in the year. Yours faithfully David Moore - New South Wales, Australia DEAR EDITOR, Having been in involved in local elections for many years, nothing quiet prepared me for what happened when Theresa May called her snap election, the one she said she would not call. Whilst having a stroll in Peasholm Park with my granddaughter on May bank holiday Monday, I received the call from the regional Labour Party to say I had been selected to fight the seat for Scarborough and Whitby Labour Party. After recovering from the shock, I straight away informed our local party chair, Eric Barnes, who took control and the following evening we held our first of many strategy and planning campaign meetings. My first job was to appoint my agent, the person to ensure that everything ran correctly and legally. This was Nick Kemp another person I hold a debt of gratitude to. Over the following few days, I was amazed to see the list of volunteers who just wanted to get involved and help in their own ways, from door knocking to producing leaflets and using their many skills in social media. The region officers were amazed that when Nick and I attended a campaign meeting in Leeds the following day, that we had already produced the first of four leaflets to inform residents of what our policies were wanting to achieve in Scarborough and Whitby. The campaign team worked on the ordering of posters and sorting out press drops to ensure that our message of hope could reach as many residents as possible. Street stalls in both Whitby and Scarborough were quickly organised, and the many volunteers made all this possible. Music nights were a great way forward to meet the many young voters that were now involved and a 70s night at the Spa gave everyone a great social night out, and indeed a bit of a breather, but not for long. The highlight of the campaign of course was when Jeremy Corbyn came along with John Prescott and addressed around a thousand well wishers at the Spa; truly a day to remember. I thank everyone who helped us during that hectic six weeks of door knocking, getting wet through in the rain and yet coming back the following day to get a local Labour MP selected that would support Jeremy Corbyn’s values and aspirations for the many and not the few. At the count on 9 June in the early hours of Friday morning our reward was to half the Conservatives’ majority to 3,500. We now all look forward to finish the battle off whenever it comes.

Revd. Sturdy leads worship – from Australia
Words and picture by Mike Tyas A SUNDAY morning church service with a whole world of a difference went ahead without a hitch thanks to the wonders of modern technology. Revd. Graham Sturdy took worship at Northstead Methodist Church not from the pulpit but from the front room of his home on the other side of the world, in Hobart, the capital of the island of Tasmania in Australia. The minister led the service with his image projected on to a large screen at the front of the church. He could see and hear his congregation via a two-way Skype link up through a web camera that was attached to a lectern. It was the first time worship has been conducted using the video sharing technology in a church in Scarborough and it is believed to be one of the first in the UK for a minister to use Skype to lead a service in this way. “It went brilliantly – better than I expected,” said Neil Robinson, who helped direct the service on a computer, using his years of expertise as an IT manager with Scarborough Council and at the Sixth Form. In case the link failed, Revd. Sturdy had recorded his 15-minute sermon in five, three-minute segments that Neil had spliced together and stored in a computer beforehand. But, apart from a very brief break up of the signal just after Revd. Sturdy had begun his sermon, the service ran smoothly. “I was a little nervous that we might have to go to the video, or I thought his voice might not come over properly, but in the end it went wonderfully – I was very satisfied,” said Neil.

also delighted with the way his first service by video went. He said: “I was amazed how smoothly the technology worked. It was really helpful to be able to see most of the congregation on my laptop. I recognised most people, some of whom I haven’t seen since we left Scarborough in 2001. “Having seen so many good friends it would have been great if we could have shared a cup of coffee and chat with everyone after the service. “Perhaps if we do it again I can have my congregation here in Hobart with me and we can make it a united service! That would be another first.” Members of the congregation were equally enthusiastic. Christine Macer, who has worshipped at the church on the corner of Givendale Road for 33 years, said: “It went brilliantly. “It was no less of a service because the minister was not actually in the room. It still had the reverence and the joy from the singing and the prayers. It had the same feel as it has on a normal Sunday.” Duty steward Ruth Dale said the application of the Skype technology to conduct a service was “mindblowing”. She said: “I can’t get my head around the fact that we listened to a service from our minister, but he was 10,000 miles away!” Revd. Sturdy led the congregation at Northstead before moving on to minister at churches in Ripon, for ten years, and then Telford in Shropshire before his move Down Under to the Scots United Memorial Church. The service was one of a number that are being led by former Northstead ministers throughout the year as part of the church’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

Choir’s boost for local homeless
50 golden years in showbusiness for Danny Wilde Words and recent photo by Dave Barry
Rainbow Centre manager Trisha Kinsella, in pink, accepts a cheque from the choir (to order photos ring 353597)
Words and photo by Dave Barry HOMELESS people were the beneficiaries of a concert by Scarborough Community Choir and Sandside Orchestra. The show, at Westborough Methodist Church, raised £1,000 for the Rainbow Centre. It was accepted by manager Trisha Kinsella, who said: “We are very short of money and have had to stop doing some of things we were doing with the homeless”. Last summer, volunteers counted 28 homeless people around the town and visiting the centre, in Castle Road. The centre uses its limited funds to run the centre, pay for B&Bs for homeless people, etc.
Trisha recently visited the choir on a rehearsal night at South Cliff Methodist Church. The choir’s publicity officer, Cate Guest, commented: “We were delighted to raise money for such a worthwhile local charity and have the pleasure of making music to do so. Our choir continues to grow under the leadership of musical director Bill Scott”. The concert featured Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto, Gilbert and Sullivan’s Mikado and choral numbers. n The choir’s website is at Scarboroughcommunitychoir.wordpress. com. To join or book the choir, email Sandymckeown60@hotmail.co.uk.
Young classical stars to shine at orchestral concert by Dave Barry THE Orchestra of Opera North is to perform in Scarborough as part of Ryedale Festival. On the programme are Rachmaninov’s sparkling and passionate Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; the evocative and visionary Symphonie Fantastique, composed by Berlioz when he couldn’t win the girl of his dreams; and Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel overture, a tribute to the power of childhood imagination. The Rachmaninov soloist will be pianist Pavel Kolesnikov, who was born in Siberia and lives in London. He has played with the world’s best orchestras including the London Philharmonic, the Philharmonia, Russia’s National Philharmonic, Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira and Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Venues have included Carnegie Hall in New York, Berlin’s Konzerthaus, the Louvre in Paris and London’s Albert Hall, at the Proms. A live recording of his prize-winning performances was praised in BBC Music Magazine for its “tremendous clarity, unfailing musicality and considerable beauty”. Besides music, he is into painting, photography, fashion and perfume – he is a passionate perfume collector. The conductor will be Jamie Phillips, who became the Hallé Orchestra’s youngest-
ever assistant conductor as a 20-year-old undergraduate in 2012. In the same year, he was the youngest-ever finalist in the young conductors’ section at Salzburg Festival. Like Kolesnikov, Phillips has worked with leading orchestras throughout Europe and the US and is recognised as a major new talent. The Manchester-based Opera North Orchestra is the only one in Britain which performs throughout the year in concert halls as well as opera houses. The last time it performed in Scarborough was six years ago. The concert, at the Spa Grand Hall on Friday 21 July, is the second of two in Scarborough promoted by Ryedale Festival. At Easter, the Sixteen vocal ensemble performed at St Martin’s Church. Artistic director Christopher Glynn said: “The festival has found a rapidly-growing and enthusiastic audience on Yorkshire’s coast and I’m delighted that we have made this commitment to regular, high-profile concerts in the town”. Ryedale Festival, which runs from 14-30 July, has been described in the Times as “Yorkshire’s boldest music festival”. Tickets for the Spa concert, which is due to start at 8pm, cost £11 for under 25s and £22 for everyone else. They can be booked by ringing 01751 475777 and online at www. ryedalefestival.com.

DANNY WILDE, Scarborough’s longest serving Elvis Presley impersonator, celebrates 50 years in professional showbusiness this year. To mark the occasion, he threw two ticketonly party nights at the Ramshill pub, where he performs every Saturday. “Both nights were thronging with family, friends and fans from far and wide to celebrate with him and wish him well”, says Helen Rose, who has just published a biography of Danny. Danny Wilde, The Legend was launched at the double-party. The Rochdale lad says he started his singing career as a semi-pro aged 15. He supplemented his income as an apprentice in his dad's decorating business by singing with the band he formed. He says he was doing so well that he quit his day job and turned pro aged 22 - and has never looked back. “This young whippersnapper had a dream back then, to be able to sing for a living”. Danny began by singing country and western before moving on to contemporary pop songs in the 60s and 70s. He performed in Lancashire, Teesside and Yorkshire, settling in Scarborough 32 years ago.
Danny in his youth
“When Danny announced at one of his gigs last year that he was celebrating his golden anniversary in showbusiness, it got me wondering how we could celebrate his success here in Scarborough, so I suggested putting his life story in a book”, Helen says. “I love writing as a pastime and felt confident that if I could get all the material for his story it would be special for him and his fans. “This set off a chain of events, interviewing Danny, challenging his memory, searching through scrapbooks he'd kept since he started out singing, plus lots of online research. “Between my partner and myself, we managed to get him into a flow, revealing stories he'd never told anyone else, making for fun and laughter as he reminisced about his life. “Needless to say, we were banned from mentioning some of the stories in this book but there will there be an uncut version later!” Promises, promises. The biography is on sale at WH Smith and at Danny’s gigs.

Headliners announced for Musicport festival by Dave Barry BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH and Afro Celt Sound System are among the headliners at the 18th annual Musicport festival, in Whitby on 20-22 October. Both will make their Musicport debuts. Benjamin Zephaniah will be joined by the Revolutionary Minds, his dub reggae band. Zephaniah’s poetry is strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he calls street politics. A vegan, Zephaniah has said his mission is to fight the dead image of poetry in academia and “take it everywhere” to people who do not read books, so he turned poetry readings into concert-like performances. In 2008, he was in the Times list of Britain’s top 50 postwar writers. Zephaniah found international Afro Celt Sound prestige with his System (photo by Tom 1982 album Rasta, Oldham)
which featured the Wailers’ first recording since Bob Marley’s death and a tribute to Nelson Mandela. He met Mandela, just before he became South African president, and in 1996 Mandela asked him to host the president’s Two Nations concert at the Albert Hall. The award-winning 11-piece Afro Celt Sound System played at the Albert Hall in April, at the Radio 2 folk awards. It was a great month for the collective as they also scooped Songlines magazine’s award for best group. Commenting on the band’s recent hiatus, Songlines said: “After a lengthy silence, the return of the Afro Celts seemed something of a risky proposition: would the group's trademark global-dance hybrid that sounded so cutting-edge when first unleashed in 1996 appear outdated some two decades on? “Instead 2016’s The Source album found the Afro Celts reinvigorated and sounding bigger, better and bolder than ever. Since the previous Afro Celts album in 2005, a split among its founding members for a time resulted in two rival editions of the group fighting over the
Dylan show better than the real thing (live) Words and photo by Dave Barry A BOB Dylan show went down a storm with Dylan fans who nearly filled the stalls of Scarborough’s Spa Theatre. Bill Lennon, who got hooked as a child, looked and sounded as close to the man in his mid-60s heyday as it’s possible to get. Except he was clearly having fun and smiled a lot, something Dylan isn’t known for. I don't usually go for cover acts but liked this one more than the real thing, who I’ve seen a few times but never enjoyed live. It made me want to play my Dylan albums again, not that they gather much dust. With more than 350 songs from 37 studio albums to go at, the five-piece band were bound to omit favourites (I’d like to have seen them have a go at Idiot Wind). But they pretty much covered most of Dylan’s greatest hits, accompanied by film and audio recordings evoking the 60s. The Hurricane - about boxer Rubin Carter, wrongly convicted of murder - started poignantly with spoken lyrics; Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door was accompanied by sad B&W images of dead performers; and Forever Young was touchingly dedicated to Dylan, with photos of him on the backdrop.

Lennon belted out about 25 classics with passion and affection, wearing a big wig, spotty shirt, pinstripe strides and shades, playing acoustic guitar and several harmonicas. Speaking afterwards, he said: “As far as I know, we’re the only Dylan tribute in the theatres, if you discount the Dylan Project, who I understand do their own take on Dylan songs. I guess that makes us the only Dylan show to perform the songs as they were originally recorded. “I have been a Dylan fan pretty much all my life. I listened to his second album Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan a lot as a youngster it was in my parents' record collection”. Lennon is based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and the rest of the band are dotted around London / Surrey. It was their first appearance in Scarborough as such, although Lennon performed at the Spa earlier this year in You've Got a Friend, as James Taylor. The Spa setlist: The Times They are a Changin’, Blowin’ in the Wind, All Along the Watchtower, She Belongs to Me, Tangled up in Blue, It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry, A Hard Rains a-Gonna Fall, Mr Tambourine Man, I'll be Your Baby Tonight, Lay Lady Lay, The Hurricane, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Positively Fourth Street, Highway 61, I Want You, The Mighty Quinn, Make You Feel my Love, Song to Woody, Just Like a Woman, Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine, Rainy Day Women Nos 12 & 35, Forever Young, Don't Think Twice, It’s All Right and Like a Rolling Stone.
name. Happily that dispute has now been settled”. The core membership includes long-serving kora and balafon player N'Faly Kouyata, the thundering dhol drumming of Johnny Kalsi and the Scottish Gaelic rapper Griogair Labhruidh. Songlines continued: “There is much that is reassuringly familiar in the swirling mix of African rhythms and Irish jigs and reels. “But the sound has smartly developed, the electronica of earlier incarnations is more muted and the acoustic textures more nuanced as the traditional African instruments vie with the pipes and flutes of Celtic heritage, underpinned by bhangra drums and with vocal decoration ranging from the shamanic voice of Rioghnach Connolly to Guinean devotional chanting”. Other acts performing at Musicport include Kefaya, Maia Barouh (Japan / France), Tcha Limberger’s Kalotaszeg Trio (Hungary), Hardeep Singh Kohli, Andy Kershaw, Hope & Social, Rory McLeod & Familiar Strangers, Orchestra of Samples with Addictive TV, Omar Puente’s Cuban Sextet, Kathakali
Theatre (India), the Maya Youssef Trio (Syria), Amaraterra (Italy / UK), Himmerland (Denmark), Fistful of Spookies, Jamie Smith’s Mabon (Wales), O’Hooley & Tidow, Ribbon Road, Bollywood Benjamin Zephaniah Jazz Project (UK (photo by Dave Barry) / India), Grace Petrie, Joanne Harris & the Storytime Band, the Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican and Lightgarden. Some of the acts will perform in nearby villages in the week after the festival, which is held at Whitby Pavilion. Weekend tickets cost £104.50 at the moment. Day and session tickets will be available in August. To book, ring 01947 603475 or visit www.musicportfestival.com or eventbrite.co.uk. Musicport is a not-for-profit community enterprise.
Amnesty raises funds and awareness in refugee week Words and photos by Dave Barry ABOUT £220 was raised at a concert organised by the Scarborough branch of Amnesty International during national refugee week, 19-25 June. The show, enjoyed by about 40 people, featured contrasting but complementary performances by two duos. It was at the Cask. Bridget Cousins and Phil Bennett, from Scarborough, played English and Irish folk instrumentals and songs on a small Celtic harp and viola made by her dad, who is 91, and guitar. Rachel Anderson, endowed with a rich soprano voice, sang All That Jazz, Moon River, Java Jive, Love Letters, Under my Skin, etc, accompanied by Clive Wass on keyboards. The couple are from Pickering. Brian Mancini stepped in at short notice to operate the sound desk. * The next day, at noon, members of Amnesty branches all over the country posed for photos while holding posters welcoming refugees to the UK. The Scarborough photo was taken near the putting green on the Esplanade.
Amnesty members take part in the synchronised
photo shoot during refugee week “The theme of refugee week is Our Shared Future and the picture was part of a synchronised effort across the country”, explained branch secretary Rod Heath. “As part of its ‘I welcome refugees’ campaign launched last year, Amnesty is encouraging communities to work together to create a more welcoming environment for people fleeing conflict and persecution, while calling on the government to open up more safe and legal routes for refugees to reach safety in the UK”. * Harwood Dale will be the picturesque setting for the branch’s annual walk, on Friday 14 July, at 6pm. It will be hosted by branch member Jake Empsom at his home, where the circular walk will start and finish. It won’t be too strenuous; there may be a long one and a short one, depending on demand. Afterwards, there will be a picnic for everybody so take some dishes to share - and something to drink. The venue is Thirley Cotes Cottage on Waite Lane and the post code is YO13 0DR.

College’s final degree Theatre, music, talks and art at Woodend show at Westwood by Dave Barry
PROUD parents and friends enjoyed a weeklong art exhibition and a colourful costume show at a college campus. The event was staged by graduates on BA honours degrees in fine art and historical and performance costume for stage and screen, at Scarborough TEC’s Westwood campus. The show has become a highlight in the fashion industry calendar, says the college’s marketing manager, Stuart Owen. It was the last time the annual event was held at Westwood as the campus and the main college building in Lady Edith’s Drive are to move into the former university campus in Filey Road in September. Jan Brown, programme leader for the costume course, said: “The students have
been organising this for a year as part of their course. “They've fundraised, organised the refreshments and arranged goody bags for our VIPs, alongside designing and creating their exhibitions”, Jan said. “I love so many of the costumes: a giant pink elephant, a fantastic wedding dress from the Outlander series, a warrior princess and a gorgeous Chinese Cinderella. “The show gives students the chance to see how their costumes look under stage lighting, to see how the audience reacts to them and gives them the opportunity to see if their costumes tell the stories they want them to tell”. Scarborough TEC was previously called Yorkshire Coast College.

ENGAGING theatre, lively British and American music, stimulating talks and great art are on offer at Woodend in Scarborough over the next month. Beach Hut Theatre will present two short plays from their BrEaKiNg ThE iCe project tonight (30 June 7pm £3). Hosted by Scarborough Poetry Workshop and Scarborough Flare, it’s part of a cabaret and open-mic night featuring poetry, stories, jokes, music, dance, magic and song. The Tom Townsend Trio will play songs from their latest album Leave It Up To Me (Sat 1 July 8pm £7). Woodend promoter Chris Lee says: “This 11-track supernova is an explosive and impressive display. “The band will play arpeggios on the heartstrings as the music travels through a dynamic emotional landscape. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd praised the “nice groove and great keyboards”. Tickets can be booked online at eventbrite. US songbird Jeni Hankins grew up in the Appalachian coalfields of Virginia in a family of miners, moonshiners and journalists (Sun 2 July 7.30pm £10). “Her writing pulls the grit, gumption and keen sense of observation out of that heritage like drawing water from her grandmother’s well”, Chris says. “A songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and flatfoot dancer, Jeni is best known for the sound of the born-in-the-bone twang of her voice and her true tales of mountain life. “In every song, her true sense of place shines through – old as the hills, but brand new at the same time”. The second half of a series of lunchtime lectures on the evolution and history of British seaside holidays is coming up at Woodend on the four Tuesdays in July. The talks, starting at 1pm, will be given by Karen Snowden, who gained a history degree at Sheffield University and worked in libraries, archives and museums for 28 years; she was head of collections at Scarborough Museums Trust. Tickets cost £5 (concessions £4) for one or £15 (£12) for all four. Raven will sing songs past and present that
celebrate the summer season on a journey around the globe by land and sea (Sat 8 July 7.30pm £10). One of their many fans praised their “really beautiful voices, a brilliant variety of songs and instruments - totally enchanting and great fun”. Another wrote: “Their sound is joyful and harmonious, fusing salsa, blues, pop and rootsy folk - simply ravishing. This sextet of vibrant women doing something they clearly love is irresistible”. Tickets must be booked by ringing 07757 765196 or emailing singing-ravens@hotmail. co.uk. Nashville singer-songwriters Eric Brace and Thomm Jutz weave stories, songs, harmonies and guitar (Sat 15 July 7.30pm £10). Chris says their lyrics are as thoughtful as those of their heroes, who include John Prine, John Hartford, Kris Kristofferson, Tom T Hall, Paul Simon and Townes van Zandt. They boast “sumptuous guitar arrangements” and “harmonies that bring to mind the Seldom Scene, Emmylou Harris and the Everly Brothers”. The Roamin' Jasmine were forged out of the lively street music scene in the French quarter of New Orleans, says Chris (Thu 22 June 7.30pm £10). “There’s an art to making a quartet sound like a much bigger band and the Roamin’ Jasmine are masters of it. “This is music to remind you that the New Orleans tradition is still very much alive and that even the most grizzled of Crescent City tunes, with their origins spread all over the Deep South and the Caribbean, can be reinvigorated to have both the character that comes with age and the effervescence of youth”. Artists who have exhibited work at Woodend over the last five years have contributed to a joint exhibition and sale which runs until 28 July (9am-5pm weekdays, 10am-4pm Saturdays). n Tickets for all the events except Raven can be booked by ringing 384500.

July - Issue 47
THE country’s top crime writer talked about her time behind bars when she appeared at a Books by the Beach event. Martina Cole has known countless criminals. She often consults ex-gangster Eddie Richardson and went out with a bank robber. All of which she has chanelled into her 20odd crime novels. Most examine London’s gangster underworld and have become bestsellers. She has notched up 16 million sales, making her the UK’s most successful crime writer. In conversation with Books by the Beach co-director Peter Guttridge, at the library on Tuesday, she revealed some more unusual records. She is number one in bookshop thefts and her books are the most requested in prisons. Cole regularly holds creative writing classes in prisons and presumably picks up ideas at the same time. She said a prisoner’s mum once insisted, “My son’s a lovely boy”. Cole thought: “I'm sure he was but I bet they didn't think that in Tesco when he robbed them with a shotgun”. Her hour-long talk was peppered with such
anecdotes, which raised many a laugh. Despite her success and wealth, Cole is down to earth, unpretentious, engaging. The audience - mostly women – loved her. Cole lives alone in a haunted 15th-century manor house in Kent and calls northern Cyprus her second home. She has a house in Bellapais and bookshops Karakum and Alsancak. She donated £10,000 to Girne state hospital, which named a ward after her. Speaking in her husky smoker’s voice, with an Essex accent, Cole talked for an hour then sat at the top of a long queue of fans who wanted her signature and photo. Next year’s Books by the Beach will run from 11-15 April. n Website: www.booksbythebeach.co.uk.

by Dave Barry A GOOD turnout of over 1,000 people watched a record 27 entries in the annual dragon-boat races at Wykeham lakes. A lot of visitors swelled the crowd gathered on the gentle slopes on the shore of the lake used for racing. In blustery conditions, Wold Top Brewery won the gold final with a time of 56 seconds, followed by Barons Fitness Centre and the Rowing Club. Fashionable Fitness won last year, when there were 23 entries. The silver final was won by Cirrus Research, followed by Barrowcliff Belles, Foxy Ladies and one of the two YMCA teams. “We are expecting to raise £10,000 for local charities”, said Mike Wilkinson of the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers, which organises the event. “Everyone had a great day and there were

lots of young families having a lovely time”. In the races, teams of 16 paddlers plus a drummer race in a series of heats culminating in finals to determine the first few places. The winners get a trophy and all paddlers in the top three teams get medals. Boats are sponsored by local organisations and groups which can nominate a charity to share the proceeds. The trophies and medals were presented by club president Jonathan Knight. The other teams which entered this year’s races were Butterfly School, Ginger Pig, Air Cadets, JASH, Wave Project, Kingfishers, Sniper Fitness, St Helen’s, YH Training, Slammers, Pinkney Grunwell, Coastal Crew, William Hare, the Stephen Joseph Theatre and staff and current and former students at Scarborough College.

Roller derby is not for the faint-hearted Words and photos by Dave Barry Barging into people while wearing roller skates may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it has a growing fanbase in Scarborough. To engage in the fast-paced, full-contact sport of roller derby, players don protective clothing – helmet, gumshield, wristguards, elbow pads and knee pads. It is extremely physical and not for the fainthearted, but no-one plays dirty and players rarely get hurt. And it looks like a lot of fun. “Roller derby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and is known for being respectful and diverse”, explains Lucy McPartlan, who chairs Scarborough Slammers Roller Derby. Wearing quad roller skates, players form into teams of five which try and break through each other’s ranks, or packs. There are three positions: the jammer, the blocker and the pivot. The jammer scores the points by passing through the opposition’s blockers. Blockers try to stop the opposition jammer getting through while helping their side’s jammer. The pivot pivots between the two roles of blocker and jammer. “It’s a fun way of exercising and learning a new skill”, says Sue Balmford who, at 56, is
SR July 2017.indd 47
the oldest Slammer. Sue learnt about roller derby via Facebook and has been playing for just over a year. “I’m retired now and I wish I'd discovered it when I was in a stressful job”, she says. Lucy confirms this: “It can be quite liberating after a hard week at work”. Not surprisingly, the occasional injury is inevitable, adds Lucy, who is still recovering from a broken ankle sustained in a fall during
a game. However, skating has a low impact on joints. Scarborough Slammers started in January 2015 with a group of skaters that had no experience and came from many walks of life. They are hairdressers, midwives, mums, teachers, IT bods, physiotherapists, students, engineers, etc. They recently hosted their first friendly game, against Grimsby. At 17, the two newest recruits are too young
Scarborough Slammers (to order photos ring 353597)
to play and spend the training sessions improving their skating skills. As soon as they turn 18, they will be able to put them to the test. The Slammers’ are about to launch a recruitment drive with an open evening at the Rugby Club in Scalby, where they are based, on Friday 7 July, from 8-10pm. No experience is necessary. “Roller derby is inclusive”, says Lucy. “It was the first sport that let people play in which gender they identified with rather than the one they were assigned at birth. It doesn't matter what your age or gender is as long as you're over 18”.
Roller derby is a full-contact sport

THE two semi-finals of the Linda Goulding Memorial Harburn Cup were played in Flixton and Staxton last week. They were competing in the Andy Hire Scarborough evening cricket league competition. In the first semi-final at Flixton on Thursday 22 June, Staxton A beat Filey by 62 runs. Staxton A scored 158-6 (Rohan Diamond 58, Chris Dove 45, Linden Gray 22, Phil Dickens 2-20).

Staxton A will now meet Ebberston A in the final at North Marine Road in Scarborough on Friday 14 July, starting at 6pm. The umpires will be Stuart Barker and Steve Dodds. Ebberston A have played eight evening cricket league games although two were called off because of bad weather. In the six games that were played, 24-year-old Matty Turnbull had scores of 96, 72 not out, 60, 69, 93 and 56. In addition, he scored 113 not out in the Harburn Cup game against Seamer in the first round and 103 not out in the semi-final.

District league shake up Words by Steve Adamson Due to declining membership the Scarborough & District League was forced into a major reorganisation at their recent AGM, with a reserve division being formed to prevent the perenial problem of reserve teams finishing at the top of division two, but being unable to move into the first division. Four of last seasons member clubs all withdrew from the league, Whitby Fishermen joined the new North Riding League, Sleights switched to the Beckett League while both Wesover Wasps and Duches folded. However two new teams were accepted into membership as former long standing members Flamborough, who were Driffield League runners up last season, have been accepted into the first division, and Phoenix have stepped up from the Minor League to join division two. The AGM agreed a constitution eight teams in division one, twelve teams in division two and ten in the new reserve section, but Goalsports Reserves tendered their resignation days after the AGM, reducing the reserve section to eleven teams. The line-up for next season will be: DIVISION ONE - Edgehill, Flamborough, Filey Town, Goalsports, Hunmanby United,
SR July 2017.indd 48
Newlands Park, Seamer Sports, West Pier (8) DIVISION TWO - Ayton, Cayton Corinthians, Commercial, Falsgrave Athletic, Fishburn Park, Goldsborough United, Itis Itis Rovers, Phoenix, Rosette, Scalby, Sherburn, Snainton (12) RESERVES DIVISION - Edgehill (2 teams), Filey Town, Hunmanby United, Newlands Park, Scalby, Seamer Sports (2 teams), West Pier (9) The top three sides in the second division will be promoted to the first division, with only the bottom team in division one dropping down to the second division in order to balance out numbers in the two senior divisions. The cup draws will be made at a later date, with all teams eligible to compete in the League Cup, while second division and reserve division sides can enter the League Trophy, and the Frank White Trophy will be restricted to teams from the reserve division.
A GROUP of old boys who play walking football at Scarborough Rugby Club on Wednesdays is looking for new members. The group comprises men who largely attend for medical reasons. Some suffer from Parkinson’s, diabetes or PTSD, or are recovering from a heart attack. They use the exercise as part of their rehabilitation. Some are there to lose weight or just to have fun. Organiser Jim Mitchell reckons fun is an integral part of the exercise. He says: “Increasing your circle of friends is an important aspect for men who are getting on in years”. Ian Graham is in his 50s and suffers from Parkinson’s. He played football and refereed as a young man so when he saw a poster advertising the group he thought it could be the answer to his surplus weight problems. His doctor saw no problem because of his Parkinson’s. Ken, 81, was encouraged by the nurse at his surgery to give the group a trial to help control his diabetes. He had only limited experience of playing football and the first couple of weeks felt a bit like a fish out of water. “I found it difficult not to break into a run rather than a quick walk, but now I feel part of the group’’, he says. At 60, Martin Whelan is one of the younger players. Apart from an irregular heartbeat, he just felt the need to take more exercise. “It’s a good all-round reason for getting out of the house - exercise plus banter and camaraderie”, said Martin. Malcolm is retired from the military. He suffers from PTSD and occasionally has to drop out for a few minutes due to fitting. Not that this puts him off walking football. The game comes to an immediate halt if anyone falls or has a sudden bout of illness. The group supports the injured member. Similarly, when the final whistle blows,
everyone shakes hands. It’s a vital aspect of the group’s social responsibility. Italian-born Luigi Tolomeo had a heart attack three years ago and had a defibrillator fitted. “My doctor told me I had to lose weight and get fit”, he says. Former plumber Peter Cooper, 78, has been attending for a year and, despite the advance of Parkinson’s, is one of the hardest players to tackle. “When I’m playing, it’s like the Parkinson’s isn’t there anymore”. Peter enjoys it so much that he wants to stay involved as long as he can. Unlike Peter, Paul Howson has been a sportsman all his life and was a committed runner until knee trouble ended his running days. He started walking football but then realised that without a knee replacement, it was too painful. That was back in June 2016; he was back on the pitch in March with a new knee. Paul, 68, thinks the social element is vital to the group’s chemistry. Social events have included indoor bowling, foot golf, target shooting, cricket, darts, dominoes and a sport quiz. He says: “Years ago, there weren’t as many gyms and fitness clubs and senior citizens weren’t encouraged to attend. Staying fit and doing exercise with like-minded people instead of being pitched in with younger men is a big encouragement”. n For further information, ring Jim Mitchell on 362922 or Paul White on 357740.

Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor, takes a look back on how local clubs did this season. @iamradioant NORTH YORKSHIRE football has had a good season on the whole. All clubs in the area from northern Whitby Town to Bridlington Town in the south can say they have had a positive season. I've given my thoughts on each team and have asked people of the front line of each club to give theirs. I want to thank all for providing their thoughts.
Whitby Town Senior Cup winners Pic by Brian Murfield
Whitby Town Whitby Town who ply their trade in the Evostik Premier Division. Not only have the Seasiders been in the top half of the league all this season, Chris Hardy's men even topped the league and missed out on a play off place. But this is still much improved from last season, when they escaped relegation by two points. Whitby Town have come away with some silverware as they beat Pickering Town 3-1 in the Senior Cup Final at Middlesborough's Riverside stadium. Whitby will be wanting Dale Hopson to be banging those goals in next season, considering he finished third in the top scorers this season, ranking with 28 goals. Press Officer at Whitby Town, Paul Connolly said: "In terms of when Chris Hardy, his management team, the club's backroom team and I got underway, we set out to prove people wrong and consolidate our position within the division, before setting out to aim for promotion next. "We were second favourites to get relegated and in truth, we have not just proven that wrong, but blown it out of the water. "The lads, from the first whistle to the last, have shown unbelievable levels of dedication and commitment to the cause, and have proven that they are more than capable of challenging at the right end of the division, as we plan to next season. "Finishing sixth was way beyond what we imagined, and to win the North Riding Senior
Cup made it even more special, especially at the Riverside. The lads deserved the success and as a club, we have plans in place to move the club forward and progress, hopefully to a promotion winning campaign.”
Scarborough Athletic I've been watching the Seadogs most of this season and I have kept faith in the management. Steve Kittrick said all season if he got a settled side we'd be a tough nut to crack. The last eight games proved that as Scarborough rampaged over their opponents, scoring for fun at times and conceding none. But it's been one rollercoaster of a season after the highs of an 8-0 win over Mossley, the result took them to the top of the league, but they were brought back down to earth with a 1-0 away loss to bottom club, Burscough. Off the field there was the sad passing of Chairman David Holland in February, which galvanised the team on this amazing run that got them into the play offs and saw them finally defeated by Ossett Town in front of a four figure crowd. Big things are going to be expected of the Boro as after 10 years at Bridlington Town's Queensgate, they finally return home to the new Scarborough Leisure Village and the first game against Sheffield United XI is already sold out. David Merris, Scarborough Athletic Captain said: “At the end of each season you look back and say have we progressed from the previous year? And the answer is most definitely yes. A team that has gone from third bottom to third top is an unbelievable achievement and that is testament to, not only the players, but the management who have shown belief in the club’s darkest hours. Through all these ups and downs as a club and fans, we stuck together to continue Dave's passion for SAFC as our motivation. Along with going back home, this passion and belief is now instilled into the team.”
Pickering Town The Pikes have had an amazing season under the stewardship of Paul Marshall and coach Denny Ingram. They have clocked up an amazing tally of points: 98 would see any over team get promotion, but it was Cleethorpes Town who kept Pickering in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division for
From the Sidelines AFTER slipping to a 113 run defeat at title chasing Harrogate at the beginning of June, Scarborough were then fortunate to draw a rain affected match at York, but followed this by picking up two very good wins, beating Hull by seven wickets (there was a 2nd wicket stand of 160 between Neil Elvide and Oli Stephenson), then cruising to a 101 run victory away at Easingwold in which Oli Stephenson scored 109 from 127 balls, including 11 fours and 2 sixes. Scarborough also reached the finals of the T20 blast, winning both their group matches at Easingwold to cap a satisfying month for the club. MATCH SUMMARY HARROGATE 236-8 (50 overs) Jonathan Tattersall 66, David Foster 42 Ben Elvidge 4-31, Bradley Scott 2-27 SCARBOROUGH 123 (36.3 overs) Bradley Scott 27, George Ross 3-12 SCARBOROUGH 127-9 (42 overs) Alex Carrie 40, Bradley Scott 23,

at least another season. The Pikes were hard to break down with 18 clean sheets and only conceding 39 goals, defensively the best team in the league by far. Which brought Matty Turnbull to Scarborough Athletic's attention, but still that didn't make them weaker, in fact it strengthened them and with a 1-0 victory over their East coast rivals on Valentine's Day. You could tell their was no love lost as the Pikes sailed into the Senior Cup Final against Whitby Town, and a big cup night under the lights of the Riverside. I'm hoping they go one step further next season in the league. Ryan Blott, Pickering Town said: “On a personal note it was a good season for me as I started enjoying my football again. The lads at Pickering really impressed me with the standard and the type of football they like to play really suited me. “The season on a whole was a massive success for Pickering Town, finishing the highest league position for a long time, even though we were disappointed not to have pushed Cleethorpes closer. “A personal high for me was playing at the Riverside as a Middlesbrough fan it was a pleasure, we were very unlucky in the final taking the lead but the strength of Whitby shone through. “Next season is all about pushing for the title and anything less will be a failure. But I believe in this squad, there is no reason why we can't be celebrating a league title.”
49 Church who won 4-1. Bridlington aren't a team like Cleethorpes Town who can throw money into it, but the Seasiders are old pro's in this league and they will throw their heart and soul into it next season. I wish them luck. Curtis Woodhouse, Manager of Bridlington Town said: “When myself and Ian Ashbee turned up at Bridlington Town we were sat 16th in the league so to finish our first campaign 3rd and in two cup finals is a good return and something the lads can be proud of. We must make sure we use this as a launch pad to push on next season and mount a serious challenge for the league title. With only one going up it's so difficult as in our league you have teams spending crazy money that we don't have at Bridlington Town so we need to rely on the fundamentals like team spirit, hard work and organisation instead of just throwing money at it that so many like to do. I've set out the expectations to my lads and they are to win the title, a tough ask but one we are capable of."

Bridlington Town The NCEL Premier team, like their manager, pack a punch. This season they failed to score just three times. This is helped by having two strikers like Brett Agnew and Joel Sutton who have scored 72 goals between them. In Woodhouse and Ashbee's first proper season at it they have finished third in the league and have been to two Cup Finals where Curtis Woodhouse took his team to his old stomping ground Bramell Lane losing out on the night to Penistone

Scarborough Review
From the touchline
HAVING announced their new Coach Simon Smith last month Scarborough RUFC has named their new Youth Development Officer James Perrett who arrived from Australia in the middle of June. Perrett has been recruited from Gunnedah Red Devils in New South Wales where he played alongside Scarborough skipper Matty Jones. The Gunnedah native has for the past two years been combining his passion for rugby and working on developing youth rugby as the NSW Rugby Union’s North Coast development officer. The 26 year old got great satisfaction from his involvement with local kids’ rugby and is looking forward to continuing the work at Scarborough. He heard of the job from an ad on Facebook
and in a twist of fate Matty Jones who is a former Scarborough YDO saw his application and things progressed from there. A winger and fullback predominately with the Red Devils, James more recently made his name as a play-making fly-half and hopes to contribute to the Silver Royd club’s promotion challenge next season. Rugby Taster sessions for prospective year 7 players will be held on the 1st and 8th of July between 1030 and noon. If you are interested in youth or junior rugby as a player, parent, prospective Coach or helper, James can be contacted on 01723 357740 EXT 5 or on e-mail at james.perrett@scarboroughrugby.co.uk

Words and photos by Dave Barry THREE Scarborough teams competed in a round-robin netball tournament at Graham School. Scarborough Netball Club (SNC), Tigers and Fitter Fam Foxes played against sides from Ripon, Whitby and Fylingdales. Ripon City Falcons came first, SNC second and Fylingdales & Whitby third. The tournament was organised as part of the Active Coast & Country initiative. Natalie Thomas and Rochelle Cammish, the project’s netball coaches and activators, said: “Netball within Scarborough has so much potential for development; it’s just finding the resources. “Through this project, we have been able to provide so many more new opportunities for the residents of the whole borough to get
involved in a sport that is gradually growing in popularity in the UK”, they said. “The tournament provides local teams with the opportunity to have fun and play against other teams they may not normally compete against, especially Charlotte Haxby during the summer, as of SNC the netball season only runs in the winter months”. Back 2 Netball sessions are held at Bramcote Sports Hall in Filey Road every Thursday at 6.30pm. They are fun and friendly, for players who don’t feel ready to enter a competition. Walking netball takes place at the Sports Village on Tuesdays at 11am and at Bramcote every Thursday at 7.30pm. It is for people who struggle with the pace or have an injury that holds them back. The sessions cost £2 an hour and are delivered by qualified coaches.

Grand boost for world championship kick boxers Words and photos by Dave Barry A GROUP of Scarborough kick boxers representing Britain in the world championships has had a £1,000 donation. Fifteen children and adults, aged six to 44, have entered the contest, which will be in Birmingham from 19-23 October. They are members of the Desapline kick boxing team, based at the Corporation Club in Dean Road. The team is run by club owner Andy Desa, who won the world kick-boxing championships six times. The championships are run by the International Combat Organisation, one of the largest martial arts organisations in the world, established in 2009. A team spokesperson said: “The Desapline team have worked exceptionally hard to qualify, standing them in good stead to win medals for their country. “However, this is an amateur sport so all competitors have to be self-financed, hence our need for sponsorship.
“Each competitor requires a GB fight suit, a track suit and a medical examination, costing £200, hence our need for £3,000”. The team have already raised £700 and have just been given £1,000 by Ourco, so they are well on their way. The kick-boxers and their friends have raised money by running car-boot sales, raffles, cake stalls, sponsored bike rides, etc. They are all male except Lola DuncanFewster, 9, who presented a bunch of flowers to Veronica Thorpe of Ourco. Contributions can be made on the Justgiving website; search for Desapline.
