SCARBOROUGH Review fibre-glass boat planter winner Michael Turner did not have far to go to pick up his prize.

That is because planter creator Alan Barraclough of West Yorkshire and Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence arranged to meet Mr Turner at Scarborough Harbour.

Michael only had to pop round the corner from his duties as Scarborough Lifeboat House Station Shop Manager to collect his beautiful planter with the Scarborough Review logo proudly displayed in the paper’s

colours.

Michael said: “It is a fantastic thing to win and I am very pleased. I love the coast and moved here in the late 90s. I have been involved with the RNLI since 2001 and they are a great group.

“We are currently going through the process of the new lifeboat house being built and once it is completed it will be something special. Our new shop will be much bigger too, so I am excited about that.” nIf you would like to own a boat planter of your own then visit: www.boat-planters.co.uk for details

Vintage Fair flair draws the crowds to Scarborough Spa

The Steps at Gallows Close members and volunteers

Steps group shine through April showers Words & photo by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE latest photo shoot for the Steps at Gallows Close group was definitely not a damp squib.

The theme was for April Showers but there were plenty of smiles on faces when Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence turned up with his camera.

Volunteers and members of the group posed in the gardens at the back of the Gallows Close Centre with their umbrellas, which they had decorated themselves.

Group founder Janice Scarborough, said: “We were delighted to do another shoot for the calendar and the volunteers and members alike thoroughly enjoyed it.

“I have to thank Isobel Embleton and her Facebook page which lets you look for things for free, as we found umbrellas through there, and to Tina Ramsden from the Golden Ball who donated 10 umbrellas.

“And of course the Scarborough Review for their continued support of the Steps at Gallows Close group.”

Debi added: “We are always delighted to see so many people attend the fairs and we had over two and a half thousand on the day. We raised money for my Kidney Cancer Charity, Saint Catherine’s Hospice, the Little Foot Trust and RNLI too; which is great.

“I would like to thank Richard and his team at the Spa for all their help on the day and to all the people who had stalls or took part in any way.”

There is another fair coming up at Bridlington Spa on August 30, with their final event of the year at Scarborough Spa again on October 25.

THE May Vintage Fair at Scarborough’s Spa Complex was a huge hit.

Despite the rain and driving wind at Scarborough’s South Bay, fans of all things vintage turned out in force.

Organiser Debi Silver said: “It was another brilliant day and even though it was wet and windy, people still came along and enjoyed what we had to offer.

“We had some great entertainment from the likes of Brandyn Shaw and Cherie Lawrence, a spectacular range of stalls and lots on offer in terms of food and beverages, including the excellent Naafi Cafe.”

The vintage fair is put on by the AdVintageous group led by Debi and Katrina Flynn and they have been running successful events around the Yorkshire area for the past four years.

Eventually the Field Shoot will be extended further into the woods with at least 10 to 15 targets.

“The Time Line exhibition, again created

THE Scarborough Archers open day proved to be a resounding success.

The club welcomed all to their new home on Osgodby Lane, where many got to try the sport for the very first time.

Club chairman John Naylor said: “I think that we can call the day a big success. We had over 160 people through the gate, with many signing up for our beginner’s courses. The girls on the cake stall, Ann, Julie, Joyce and Debbie, were rushed off their feet, dispensing tea, coffee and cakes throughout the day.

SCARBOROUGH man Lawrence Clarke is calling for all those locals who have something to complain about to go straight to him!

That is because he is launching his first ever book ‘Ranting Won’t Get You Anywhere’ later this year.

Lawrence, 35, explained: “I am doing this book because so many people have something they like to complain, moan or rant about.

“I think it would be interesting to see what people rant about the most, and also see some of the more unusual things that really get under the skin.

“I am looking for the good people of Scarborough to get in touch and let me know how they feel. “The rants can be as personal to you as you want, serious or humorous. I hope to get a wide range of rants to use within the book.”

Lawrence Clarke with his four-year-old son Henry

Lawrence has already collected a number of rants for the publication.

He added: “We have had things such as people ranting over how much cheesy celebrity endorsed adverts annoy them on television, to those who are annoyed by people talking to dogs and pets like they are human.”

Anyone is welcome to contribute their rants for the book and can have their name listed in the publication if they wish. n Rants can be emailed to: rantingwgya@gmail.com or on twitter via @rantingwgya

customers bag their shopping in return for donations.

A total of £396.48 was raised on the day with the money being split between Charlotte and Florence and Filey Girl Guides.

Susan Dickinson, of the group, said: “We were amazed by some of the donations received from the public and the comments we received on the day. The money will be a boost for Charlotte and Florence and also the Filey From left, Charlotte Dickinson, Tesco Filey Community Girl Guides and will enable us to continue to Champion Tracy Flynn, Filey Girl Guides Leader Susan deliver new challenges for the girls.”

Star Wars Day proves a force to be reckoned with in Scarborough Words & photo by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

MAY the Fourth Be With You proved to be out of this world at Scarborough’s Market Vaults.

The event celebrated Star Wars Day with characters dressed up as the famous movie characters.

Organiser Dax Smith said: “We held our second Star Wars event under the banner of May The Vaults Be With You, and it went very well.

“It was the fifth event that our group of four traders put on to benefit the vaults as a whole. It fell nicely this year as the fan named Star Wars Day fell on a bank holiday. It is known as Star Wars Day due

to a play on words. Fans celebrate this day all over the world.

“We had various characters come to the vaults including Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Tie Fighter Pilot, Biker Scout plus various Jedis. They walked around the vaults and into town posing for many photos.

It bought a lot of extra people into the vaults.

“We want to thank the guys from UK Sandraiders and the Scarborough Garrison for giving up their time to come down in costume to make it a great day.

We are trying very hard to encourage people to come to the vaults to see the fantastic shops we have down here as people seem to have forgotten we are here.”

A previous Dragon Boat Race at Wykeham Lakes

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THE Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers has decided to sponsor a dragon boat at the event it will be organising at Wykeham Lakes on Sunday June 7.

The event, which is in its fifth year, has raised thousands of pounds for local charities but the club is hoping to raise money this year for the victims of the Nepal earthquake.

Club President, Mike Wilkinson said: “Local charities will still benefit from this year`s dragon boat event but the club has decided this year to sponsor its own boat to help victims of the earthquake in Nepal.

“However, we need 17 paddlers in our boat; so if anyone is keen to help us raise some cash to help communities in Nepal, then they should please contact either myself or Peter Howgate.”

The club has already donated £1,000 from its own funds to a Nepal Appeal, organised by Rotary`s Yorkshire District International Committee, with the Rotary Club of Scarborough also gifting £1,500 to the earthquake disaster victims.

Both clubs held a collection outside of Proudfoot

supermarket on May 7 and 8 and raised another £1,100.

The dragon boat event is a fun day out for all the participants and the spectators alike and last year attracted record crowds.

Teams of 16 people paddle their dragon boats to the beat of a drum over a 250 metre course in a series of heats culminating in a grand final.

Male and female team members must be 12 years old and be able to swim 50 metres with a buoyancy aid, which are provided by the organisers.

There are safety boats on patrol the whole day, professional helmsmen to give basic instruction, as well as race commentaries to keep the crowd fully informed of the day`s proceedings.

Anyone who is willing to paddle to raise funds for Nepal in a dragon boat should contact Peter Howgate on 01723 859843 or mobile 07881 974691 or Mike Wilkinson on 01723 870670 or mobile 07918 714879.

Paddlers will also be encouraged to raise £50 each in donations, which the Rotary Club will be passing on directly to Rotary volunteers working in the most affected communities in Nepal.

Friendly coffee morning in Hunmanby THE Friends of God’s Acre are holding a Coffee Morning on Saturday 30 May in the Community Centre in Hunmanby from 10-11.30am. Admission to the event is £1 which includes refreshments. There will be a raffle and stalls with bric-a-brac, jigsaws, books and home-made cakes to enjoy. n For more details ring Lynne on 01723 892672.

“It is not often you see so many Elvises in one place and they certainly caught the eye. The funny thing was I was the only one not dressed as Elvis because I didn’t know they were doing it.”

We would also like to appeal for good, clean paperbacks for our book stall and tombola items for future events.

Items to be donated can be left either at the Lifeboat Shop or Boathouse, both located on coble landing, Filey. Thank you once again for your support.

Lee Paterson (third from left) and his Roscoe’s Bar FC players celebrate

Dear Editor

ANOTHER football season has come to an end! I would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has helped the club throughout the year. Adam and all the staff at Roscoe’s Bar, without them we wouldn’t be where we are today. John Butcher for all his help with the pitch, Jane Rowley for washing the kit each week, and everybody else who has chipped in.

We have had ups and downs this season.

The ups have been great ones, winning the Goal Sports Trophy and just losing out getting to another final.

We have what it takes to go far as a team, we have beat some very good teams this year and with a bit of a tweak hopefully we can push on for more silverware.

I’m proud to say I’m the manager of this team and wouldn’t change any one of you, you have all played your part and I’ve have had a great time this season and hopefully have many more great seasons with you.

Lee Paterson Manager, Roscoe’s Bar FC

Dear Editor

I JUST wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for your coverage of the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Scarborough Archers new shooting ground on Osgodby Lane.

You no doubt noticed the terrific display of Alpine plants at the entrance to the shooting range. This had taken many hours of hard work by our members Colin and Jean, who constructed and maintained it.

Unfortunately however, a few days after our opening night, somebody stole the lot!

They actually missed one. I wonder if after reading this, they would have the guts to come back for it?

Best regards John Naylor Chairman, Scarborough Archers

Dear Editor WE have been told by the Big Lottery that we have been successful in our bid for Big Lottery funding and will now be able to go ahead and build the much needed community hall that I wrote to you about in March.

The committee has achieved great success through all the difficult stages of the lottery application.

This is simply a tremendous achievement for such a small village. We have been able to demonstrate the need for a hall that will enrich the lives not only of the villagers of Foxholes, but also those of our neighbouring villages.

time eight years ago) the local authority subscribed the shortfall making a weekly total of £700.

The staff were either untrained or if they were trained then it would have been in some faraway country and it was trying to understand badly spoken English over the phone (the care home was in Hereford). On any weekend the phones were not manned, which gave suspicion that the staff were not experienced to take phone messages.

After two years her health had declined so much that we removed her from the so called care home and submitted her into a nursing home part run by the NHS. This was a totally different environment to her previous abode, her care from then on was exemplary.

Why did we choose this care home? Good question, it was one recommended by the local authority. And if one has ever attempted to negotiate or try to find common sense from an authority then good luck to that person.

We found that any phone conversation we had was answered by any number of different persons. If we asked to speak to a known person the answer invariably was either the person was on leave, holiday or ill.

And finally a cheque for £10,000 was requested by the Hereford council for her care, as it appears she was underfunded.

Yours with regards Robert Marshall, Scarborough

Tour de Yorkshire a big hit Race along with Scarborough school to Itis-Itis

and raise money for Ellie’s Fund

George Pindar School students gather to see the Tour de Yorkshire

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

THERE was great excitement at George Pindar School in Eastfield for the Tour de Yorkshire.

Year seven and eight students went out to watch the Tour de Yorkshire passing by on Cayton Low Road.

They were very fortunate that it was such a beautiful sunny day to be outside.

The mascot bicycle was proudly displayed on the school fence alongside an exclusive 15 metre George Pindar School banner made for them by Adverset.

Students were ushered across the sports field to a special fenced-off spectato area.

Behaviour was superb and, as ever, the school are very proud of their students’

The cyclists head down Cayton Low Road at high speed conduct in a public place. They were entertained prior to the race, by all the marshals and security staff that preceded the cyclists. There was a lot of honking of horns and blaring of sirens and one policeman even slowed his motorbike down in order to high five students as he passed.

After a little waiting, it was time for the main event and huge cheers went up as the cyclists rode by. Many students took the opportunity to take photographs and videos of the race, making sure they had their own little piece of Yorkshire history to keep.

Kieran Trotter of year eight said: “ I was amazed by how many people there were and all I could hear was people cheering. It was brilliant!”

A RACE night in aid of Ellie’s Fund Brain Tumour Trust is being held at Itis-Itis Sports Bar and Stadium on Friday June 5.

The night will be raising money for what is now the biggest cancer killer of people under the age of 40 in the UK. Tickets are £5 and will include food and the evening is for 18s and overs only.

The race fun will get under way from 8.30pm at the bar on Castle Road. n You can purchase tickets from Cafe Heart, Marketside, or ring 01723 447200.

Members of Newby & Scalby In Bloom at last year’s plant sale

Planting their seeds for the future in Newby & Scalby Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

NEWBY & Scalby In Bloom are all set for their annual plant sale which takes place at Scalby Community Parish Hall on Saturday May 30.

And the group are all set to offer more plants, crafts, cakes and raffle prizes than ever before.

Newby & Scalby In Bloom member Sue Groom said: “We are all looking forward to the plant sale which is always a good event and we have our new venue now which is also exciting.

“Please come along and support us because it is important in allowing to continue with the work we do.”

Among the flowers and plants available are cut flowers, bedding plants, geraniums, trailing plants and a selection of vegetables. n The event takes place between 11am2pm and free parking is available.

Pindar pupils make a splash for a good cause

The year eight Student Voice group who washed all the cars and ran the tuck shop, with front from left, Mr Hackworth, Georgie’s mum Naomi, Georgie and Georgie’s brother Josh.

A GROUP of year eight Student Voice pupils from George Pindar School took part in a fundraising day for Georgie Jamieson and Go Georgie Go! Georgie has Global Development Delay which affects his speech and growth.

Georgie’s brother, Josh, is a year eight student at George Pindar School and his head of year, Mr Hackworth, helped to organise the day.

The Go Georgie Go! Fund aims to raise £20,000 to give Georgie the opportunity to have some very specialist therapy which would greatly improve the chance of him walking unaided one day.

Mr Hackworth said: “We were trying to

do our little bit by having a sponsored staff car wash and we also run a tuck shop at break and lunch time. There were also collection buckets on the school gates in the morning and the students visited tutor groups to collect what they could.”

After a hugely successful day, the school managed to add £360.54 to the fund. Mr Hackworth said: “I would like to thank all the staff who gave money. My year eight Student Voice group worked tirelessly all day and washed 40 plus cars.”

Georgie’s brother, Josh added: “We had a really good day. Thank you for all the donations.”

Care group seeks future assurances A LEADING social care group is seeking an urgent meeting with a new government Minister to look at how the care of older and vulnerable adults can be protected in coming years.

The Independent Care Group (York and North Yorkshire) wants to meet Health Minister Alistair Burt to talk about the state of the social care sector.

It is worried that predicted further cuts to local authority spending will harm a sector that has already suffered badly during the economic downturn.

And it wants to press the new minister to

give social care the same protection that is afforded to NHS spending. It is also concerned about the dire shortage of nurses which is having a detrimental impact on all healthcare across the country.

The group’s chair, Mike Padgham said: “We congratulate Mr Burt on his appointment to the post and wish him well as he takes up the reins of the social care portfolio.

“We recognise that as the new Government hits its stride, there is just a narrow window of opportunity to present the case for improved social care.

“Since 2010, £3.5bn has been taken from the social care system due to cuts to local authority budgets, leaving vast numbers of people without the care they need in care homes or their own home.

“The government pledged to find the extra £8bn a year for the NHS but there have been no similar pledges to find the estimated extra £4.3bn a year social care is expected to need by 2020.

“This is wrong and we will be pressing the Minister to at the very least ring-fence spending on social care so that we do not begin a new parliament with some of

Mike Padgham the country’s oldest and most vulnerable adults not getting the care they need and deserve.”

Keeping the faith to complete Ravenscar Coastal Half Marathon

Action from this year’s Tour de Yorkshire

Wheels are in motion for Tour de Yorkshire 2016 ORGANISERS of the first ever Tour de Yorkshire international cycle race have started discussions with local authorities across the county to plan the 2016 edition of the race.

Following the success of the event organisers are now looking for a new route for next year’s race.

The race organisers ASO (Amaury Sport Organisation) and Welcome to Yorkshire are now holding meetings with local authorities who have expressed an interest in holding a start or finish of the race.

They are also talking to companies in Yorkshire, nationally and internationally about sponsorship opportunities around the event.

The Tour de Yorkshire was a huge marketing opportunity for the county with live coverage on ITV4, British Eurosport and 177 countries around the world. The website had over 4million page views on the race website in the month running up to the first stage on 1 May, with nearly 2 million on race days, and a Twitter reach of 55million. In addition, nearly 300 journalists from regional, national and

international media attended the race to report on the event and PR coverage was in excess of £100million pounds in advertising equivalent.

Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said; “Yorkshire’s ability to host a world class sporting event is now proven; with our partners ASO and the local authorities we have created a fantastic event which we are confident will grow year on year to become one of the biggest sporting events in the world. We are now seeking expressions of interest for new start and finish towns and sponsors to help deliver the Tour de Yorkshire 2016.”

Yorkshire Bank, Dimensions Data, P&O Ferries, Mavic, Milltag and JCT600 are all sponsors of the Tour de Yorkshire.

Welcome to Yorkshire is now exploring talks with other companies for title sponsorship and the leader’s jersey.

Dates for the race will be confirmed by the UCI in Autumn 2015 and organisers Welcome to Yorkshire and ASO have confirmed they will apply for the same weekend of racing, the first weekend of May, for the 2016 edition.

Tracy championing the local community Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

IT has been a busy month for Tesco Filey Community Champion Tracy Flynn who has been helping out the locals every little bit she can.

Hunmanby Primary School duo Olivia Dudley and Isabelle Maslin, both aged nine and in year four, won a competition to design posters with the theme of ‘what the community means to them.’

They were chosen as the winners by staff at Tesco and both received a book token and maths set courtesy of Tesco.

Tracy also made a surprise visit to see local resident Hilda Aldershaw as she celebrated her 90th birthday.

Tracy said: “I had the privilege of visiting the lovely Hilda, she’s a regular customer and is 90 years old. I took her a large bunch of flowers and a card for her special day. She’s such a lovely lady and well liked by all staff. Many happy returns Hilda.”

Runners gather ahead of the Ravenscar Coastal Half Marathon THE annual Ravenscar Coastal Half Marathon took place with a superb 165 entrants – and this year, there was the option to do a 10K race along parts of the challenging course.

Organised by Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, which this year celebrates its 50th Anniversary, the 13.1mile routes starts and finishes from Ravenscar’s Village Hall, 700 feet above sea level.

The event raises funds for the rescue team, who are on call 24 hours a days, seven days a week.

Participants from all over Yorkshire signed up for the route, which takes in part of the Cleveland Way, Staintondale, a section of the old Scarborough to Whitby railway line, Cloughton Wyke and Hayburn Wyke.

The weather was cloudy, cool and breezy at the start but the sun shone for the second leg of the half marathon race, and there was a helpful tail wind. The rain also held off, although the terrain was damp in places following recent downpours.

First past the post was Matthew Hayes, wearing number 1073 with a time of 1 hour, 29 minutes and 58 seconds.

There were some local runners, including Faith Young of Tindall Street in Scarborough.

Faith, 44, came in 115th overall wearing number 1190.

Faith said: “First of all I would like to thank the SRMRT for their excellent organisation. This year’s event was a much bigger affair than last year, with two races – the half marathon and the 10K – being held from 9.30am and 10.15am respectively.

“This is the second time I’ve run this particular half marathon, and it is a very, very tough route, particularly on the return stretch. “ I was delighted to see I did a better

Faith Young enjoys the course time than last year, shaving off over two minutes. While this may not sound a lot, it’s a good time given the steep climbs included in the final six or so miles.”

“The Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team were amazing. There were four water points, plenty of jelly babies to eat and the marshalls did an excellent job of directing runners around the course.

“This race is a particularly supportive one for fellow runners, with lots of encouragement from all sides. It’s nice when runners who’ve completed the course encourage those yet to finish during those final, sometimes painful last steps to the finish line!”

Plaque marks Max Jaffa’s old home

Words and photo by Dave Barry

A BLUE plaque marking the former residence of one of Scarborough’s most famous sons has been unveiled.

Max Jaffa, who ran the Spa Orchestra in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, lived for most of that time at Argyll Lodge in Scalby.

Mr Jaffa died in 1991 aged 79 and is survived by his wife Jean, who unveiled the plaque a few days after her 89th birthday.

She was joined by two of her three daughters, Naomi Jaffa and Lisa Gerson.

Their sister, Jenny Isaacson, lives in the USA and couldn’t make it, which was a shame as it was her idea.

On a visit to Scalby last year, Jenny knocked on the door of her old home and met its owners, who agreed with the plaque idea.

It was organised by Scarborough and District Civic Society.

At the unveiling, Mrs Jaffa reflected on her late husband’s time at the Spa: “27 consecutive summer seasons, each lasting about 17 weeks from late May to mid-September.

“That’s 459 weeks all together,” she said. “Max gave a concert every night of the week, making a total of 3,213. He gave concerts when he had a slipped disc, the day after a night-time operation on his nose, he even played in a wheelchair the summer he tore a hamstring playing cricket.

“In all that time, he missed only one performance, to attend the funeral in Eastbourne of his beloved friend and colleague, pianist Jack Byfield.”

A few days before the Jaffa plaque was unveiled, the Civic Society unveiled one in Ganton, at the former home of Ganton Golf Club professional Harry Vardon (1870-1937).

Filey Library celebrates Adult Learner’s Week and National Volunteers Week

By Krystal Starkey

JUNE 1-7 is National Volunteers Week where, across the UK, celebrations are held to recognise the valuable contribution of approximately 23 million people who volunteer to make a difference in their communities.

An event will be held on June 3 from 10am 2pm to highlight opportunities for volunteering in the local area. Local organisations such as Scarborough Blind & Partially Sighted Society, The Citizens Advice Bureau, Support for Carers, Mind, Advocacy Alliance, North Yorkshire Youth, The Crimlisk Fisher Archive

and others alongside the library service will be on hand to advise on the activities, services and opportunities available with them.

Meanwhile June 13 - 19 is Adult Learners’ Week. The library will offer the opportunity for the public to join the ladies of Filey Library Knit and Natter Group as they share their talent and skills for knitting and crocheting with a larger audience.

The free drop-in event will be held on June 18 from 1-3p, no experience or equipment necessary. n Contact Filey Library on 0845 034 9513 or filey.library@northyorks.gov.uk for more information

Sharing their care for those who have lost loved ones

TWITTER, Skype and community radio shows are just some of the ways that people who have suffered the loss of an intimate partner to suicide are getting in touch to volunteer to share their stories as part of a new research project Samantha Torres at the University of Hull Scarborough Campus..

Samantha Torres, a PhD student at the University of Hull, is looking into how people cope with the loss of an intimate partner to suicide and is currently gathering information from research participants.

She explains: “Bereavement is a delicate subject and losing a husband, wife or partner

to suicide can be particularly traumatic. By using new technology such as social media and Skype, I am finding that people who perhaps would not have previously come forward are now able to share their story with me.”

People taking part in the research study must be over the age of 18 years and have lost their partner no less than a month ago.

As a mental health nurse and academic, Samantha is well-placed to handle the sensitive nature of the interviews with the participants.

She says: “The conversations are led by the participants. I am really here to listen to their stories and find out how they have coped since the death of their loved one. For my part, as well as listening and gathering information for my research, I also provide an NHS Resource Pack with details of sources of help and support.” n Ring 01723 357302 for further details.

SIx Zambian teachers visited Scarborough’s town hall during a visit to the area.

They spent a week with local hosts at Newby & Scalby, Northstead, Friarage, Snainton, Brompton Hall and Bempton schools.

Designed to promote understanding between Zambian and British schools, the partnership began five years ago when the British Council awarded funding to pay for travel, accommodation and so on.

The annual visits are timed so that the Zambians come here when it isn’t too cold for them and the British go to Zambia when it isn’t too hot for them.

Seven local teachers left Scarborough to travel to Monze in Zambia today, for a week.

“We try and provide a cultural experience,” says coordinator Chris

Knowles, head teacher at Newby & Scalby, who has visited Zambia twice.

At the town hall, the mayor, Pat Marsburg, gave the African visitors a tour. Also pictured is Cllr Janet Jefferson, who arranged the visit to the town hall.

As well as information on the courses available at the campus, there will also be an opportunity to look around and enjoy the facilities on offer at the Filey Road campus.

The Festival of Learning is led by the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) and brings

together the wider education and skills community, including employers, charities, professional bodies and government departments to celebrate and promote the many learning opportunities available.

David Hughes, Chief Executive of NIACE, said: “The results of our recent survey show how much we all want to learn new things, it’s a natural part of who we are but it also shows that people need help to take steps to find where and how to learn. That’s why initiatives like the

Amnesty events support prisoners of conscience Words and photo by Dave Barry

TWO events in Scarborough have led to messages of support for ‘prisoners of conscience’ all over the world.

They were organised by the local branch of human-rights group Amnesty International.

At the first, people signed letters asking governments to release people imprisoned merely for expressing political, religious or other beliefs, without using violence.

At the second, members of the public signed postcards urging governments to

stop torturing prisoners.

Branch secretary Rod Heath said: “We want to raise the profile of Amnesty and make people aware of the prevalence of torture and what steps they can take to stop it.”

Around the world, seven million people have written similar letters. As a result, prisoners such as Al-Jazeera journalist Peter Greste have been released and the flogging of Raif Badawi in Saudi Arabia has stopped.

Peter Benenson, who founded Amnesty in 1961, said: “Pressure of opinion 100 years ago brought about the emancipation of the slaves. It is now time for man to insist upon the same freedom for his mind as he has won for his body.”

The events were staged at Westborough Methodist Church and in the pedestrian precinct.

Events being planned by the branch include a gig at the Cask by Rachel Reynolds and Bridget Cousins on 19 June; a sponsored walk at Goathland (date to be confirmed); and an outdoor gig at Woodend on 12 July.

Letter-writing sessions are held on the last Thursday of each month at Westborough Church, from 1.30-3.30pm, and at the Cask, from 7.30-9.30pm. n The branch has a website (www.amnesty.org.uk/groups/ scarborough) and a Facebook page (search for Scarborough Amnesty).

Festival of Learning are so important to encourage people to take the leap and go for it, whatever their age or level of education.”

On 17 June the National Careers Service and other local organisations will join the University of Hull to provide advice and guidance to adults looking to gain new skills and develop their careers. n For further information go to www.hull.ac.uk/ scarborough

Royal appointment for Scarborough apprentices

Katie Abley of Scarborough jobmatch

THE success of Scarborough Borough apprentices is being celebrated at a graduation ceremony on Friday 17 July at The Royal Hotel in Scarborough.

The ceremony is named STARS, aptly meaning Scarborough’s Talented Apprentices, celebrated with Success.

Hundreds of apprentices from across the region will come together at the event along with parents, employers and other organisations involved in apprenticeships. Speakers at the high-profile event will include The Mayor of Scarborough, along with entertainment from local comedian David Nicholson.

The Scarborough Borough event is being delivered by a consortium after government funding was recently awarded to Scarborough jobmatch, one of 19 successful in the country to successfully bid for a grant to plan and host a ceremony.

The bid by Scarborough jobmatch was put together by a group of young apprentices themselves, who wanted to come together

and be able to offer something to really celebrate the great work that both apprentices and employers have achieved locally. These apprentices are from Scarborough jobmatch, Yorkshire Coast College and Yorkshire Coast Homes.

In addition to the government funding, the apprentices have secured sponsorship support from local businesses that are ambassadors to the success of apprentices locally. The main sponsor being Yorkshire Coast Homes, with fellow sponsors including Scarborough Borough Council and YH Training Services.

Katie Abley, Employment & Skills Partnership Manager of Scarborough jobmatch, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this event, which will celebrate the enormous success and achievement of Higher and Advanced apprentices across the Scarborough Borough.

“Every single person who has completed an apprenticeship can be proud of what they have achieved.”

...donʼt throw stones

Looking to put all this glorious sunshine to some good? If you long to grow your own fruit and veg, you’ll definitely need a greenhouse.

We’ve scoured the planet to find some options and inspirations.

NUDITY NOT RECOMMENDED

Here we have the classic greenhouse. Most of this kind will measure around six feet by eight feet, have metal frames, and use real glass panels. Modern greenhouses will feature a heat-sensitive lever on the top window to open it slightly when things start to heat up. n Expect to pay £400-£800

WHY NOT MOVE IN?

For something a little more fancy (or if you really love your tomatoes), why not opt for one that is more established? This Alton Victorian Greenhouse features a brick base, a strong cedar frame, shatter resistant glass, and roof and window vents. Seriously, if it wasn’t for the lack of privacy, we’d live there. n Around £7500

LOST YOUR BOTTLE? A greenhouse is an enclosed space with transparent sides that allows sunlight in and heat to be trapped... doesn’t say anywhere what the transparent material has to be. Like this intrepid gardener, you too could use empty plastic bottles to build a growing oasis, carefully attaching them together to create flexible walls. Better than sticking them in a landfill, eh?

GARDEN LIKE QUEEN VIC The Victorians loved to garden, and tended to build their glass houses up against south facing walls with large slanted windows. You could easily put one together yourself, and probably at far less of a cost than the Alton Greenhouse. If you fancy one, talk to the builders and construction companies listed in these pages.

BIG HOPES, LITTLE SPACE Short on space? A mini greenhouse like this is perfect for growing smaller items in back yards, on balconies and roof terraces. Most will have a wooden frame and use extremely light acrylic panels to trap in all that summer sun. Great for kids as well, as they can easily access their sprouting marvels. n Expect to pay £100-£200

DOME SWEET DOME Why not go completely off-book and build your own geo dome greenhouse? Despite the complicated look, geo domes are surprisingly easy to put together and use light-weight acrylic instead of glass. They also allow you to create a circular growing space and can be lit from within to produce a truly stunning garden feature.

Cancer research group Taylor’s time at hoping to collect a big hit at community radio station Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre Words & picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH man Ant Taylor is mixing things up at Radio Scarborough with his latest show.

The 36-year-old former Wheatcroft and Pindar School pupil has been presenting his Twelfth Man Saturday Sport’s show for several months but has now also landed himself a Tuesday night music show.

The Mixtape Show will feature tracks from the 70’s right through to modern day and will also have special themed broadcasts such as their recent movie special.

Ant said: “This is an absolute blast and I am loving every minute of it. I love music and sport and I started doing the Saturday Sports show a while back, which I thoroughly enjoy.

“We have coverage of Boro matches and other teams too and also special guests in

the studio.

“I was enjoying myself so much doing that show that I approached station boss Jerry Scott about taking on another show.

He said fine and we went ahead with the Mixtape Show!”

Ant is also hoping that his new show will provide a platform for local musical talent to showcase what they have to offer.

He added: “I would like local bands and artists to come in and talk about what they do and play us some of their stuff.

It is important that local musicians get the opportunity to be heard on as many different platforms as possible.”

Radio Scarborough Director Jerry Scott said: “It’s been great to see Ant move up from co-presenting The Twelfth Man to getting his own show which he both produces and presents. He is a natural.” n If you are a local artist and would like to appear on Ant’s show then email him: ant@radioscarborough.co.uk

Scarborough’s North Bay cleans up with double award Picture by Pete Spence

SCARBOROUGH’S North Bay beach has proved to be one of the best the UK has to offer.

Keep Britain Tidy announced the winners of this year’s Blue Flag Seaside Awards with North Bay and Whitby both achieving the Blue Flag and Seaside Award.

Bridlington North is a new recipient of the Blue Flag Award this year.

Across the country, 140 beaches are now flying awards: 60 beaches being awarded the Blue Flag Award, 111 Seaside Awards and 31 beaches achieving both.

Both the Blue Flag and Seaside Awards are the quality marks for our beaches and mean those visiting them can be sure that they are clean and safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well the tough bathing water quality standards.

Keep Britain Tidy’s Coastal Awards manager Paul Todd said: “It is great to be able to celebrate another fantastic year for

the Blue Flag and Seaside Awards.

“As an environmental charity, Keep Britain Tidy is committed to improving the quality of the places where people live, work and holiday and these winners have proved their commitment to providing the best possible beaches for locals and visitors alike.

“The public can be sure, if they visit a Blue

Scarborough’s North Bay beach

Flag or Seaside Award winning beach, that they are visiting one of the best beaches in the world.”

England can now boast more Blue Flag Award-winning beaches than Cyprus or Mexico and now ranks in the Top Ten in the world for beaches that meet the very high standards set for the award.

Scarborough Strata

by Will Watts

IS it real? That is a question often asked at museums across the country and also when I am showing people fossils found on our coastline. It is a very obvious question and usually the answer is yes, but not always. Sometimes replica fossils will be used in place of the real thing, but why?

A reproduction of a genuine fossil may be used for a number of reasons, it may be that there is only a very limited number of the real thing so for a museum to display one they need to use a copy. This is often the case with dinosaur skeletons. Many UK museums now have on display a full size Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, but all of

them are replicas based on famous finds such as Stan and Sue (they really are called that), excavated and on display in the USA, where Tyrannosaurus rex is found. Without these replicas people would have to travel to the USA to see these magnificent creatures.

Another reason why replicas may be used is the real thing might be too fragile, heavy or even dangerous to handle.

The Allosaur skull seen here is also a replica we use for school sessions and birthday parties, whilst it would nice to have the real thing that is just not possible (and it would be too heavy to transport around schools!).

Making replicas is also a way of making sure scientific

data is shared as widely as possible, whilst in Victorian times the replicas were made of plaster, today new developments have seen 3D printers being used to replicate fossils and sharing them across the world.

It might not be too long before you will be able to print your own T-rex off in your bedroom, I just hope you have enough room. n To join one of our fossils hunts, to book a birthday party or arrange for the Allosaur to visit school please visit www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk

Crafty Articles knit to Yorkshire puts help national charity chicken roast dinner top of the menu

Tracy Bartley who approached the Crafty Articles and her daughter Keira.

By Krystal Starkey

A LOCAL knitting group have been busy with needles and wool to help a National Charity.

Tracy Bartley from Hunmanby asked the group if they could knit teddy bears for CDH, a UK charity that was founded to support families and their children who suffer from Congenital Diaphragmatic

Hernia.

The Knitting group agreed and were able to present Tracy with over 30 bears.

CDH is a condition that targets unborn babies when the diaphragm, a thin muscle between the chest and the abdomen, fails to develop properly putting the baby’s life at risk.

When a baby is operated on to correct the disability, they are only allowed one knitted teddy bear in the cot to play with, and these are the teddies knitted by the group.

Tracy herself lost a child called Madison in February 2012 to this condition.

The loss for her first baby made Tracy determined to do something to help others.

The Crafty Articles said: “Our heart goes out to people and families who have suffered the loss of a child like Tracy did, so we have tried to help where we can.

We wish everyone involved in the CDH UK Charity our very best wishes and hope for every success for them.”

These teddies were knitted with wool given to the group by the community, but they need much more to continue their work. They are appealing to local people to leave donated items of wool at the Scalby and Newby Library.

PEOPLE in Yorkshire eat chicken an average of 140 times per year, a poll has found. North Yorkshire Residents are most likely to be found tucking into a traditional chicken roast dinner at home, with Indian style chicken curry and fried chicken making up the top three.

The poll by the Food Standards Agency also found that amongst the region’s restaurants, the pub Sunday roast has made the top spot, favoured by 28% of people in Yorkshire.

Eating chicken - if mishandled or undercooked - can lead to food poisoning, which makes an estimated 280,000 people ill every year. The results have been released by the FSA to mark Food Safety Week 2015.

Nina Purcell, Director of the Food Standards Agency, commented: “Food Safety Week this year is bringing together the whole food chain to make sure everyone does their bit to halve campylobacter by the end of this year. If it succeeds, it would mean fewer people getting sick next year.”

The FSA recommends: •

Bag and store raw chicken separately from other food, covered and chilled on the bottom shelf of the fridge

•

Don’t wash raw chicken: it splashes germs

•

Wash everything that’s come in contact with raw chicken properly in soap and hot water, from your hands to chopping boards and any utensils

•

Check it’s cooked properly, with no pink meat, steaming hot all the way through, and that the juices run clear

Admiring the Tree An Exochorda blossom in Peasholm Glen.

THIS month the Muck and Magic Gardeners have taken time out from their busy garden to spend an hour or two strolling through Peasholm Glen and admiring the trees in the spring sunshine. The Tree Trail has one of the most diverse and interesting selection of trees to be found anywhere in England and is well worth a visit.

Start at our beautiful Peasholm Park

and walk up the Glen passing the Yacht Pond looking out for the numbered posts indicating a champion tree in the area. The trees are all named in a leaflet produced by the Peasholm Park Friends volunteer group and available on their website for download.

You may discover species from across the world, planted by eminent Parks Superintendents of yesteryear and there are no fewer than five Champion Trees– the largest or tallest examples of their kind in Britain.

Look out for Exochorda giraldii as you approach Glen Bridge. This towering specimen is unusual in its height and has been a mass of beautiful white blossoms arching over the pathway and nearby is a Tulip Tree planted half way up the bank.

This tree belongs to the magnolia family

but has yellow-green tulip shape bowls for flowers, hence its common name.

The Handkerchief Tree is situated at the top of the glen behind the Lily Pond and is an absolute treat at this time of the year. Look out for the white bracts that look as though white tissues have been festooned across the branches. In late August when autumn is beckoning the tallest of Eucryphias will be in full flower to one side of the lily pond. Linger by the stream and listen to the birds.

You may even be lucky enough to catch a fleeting glimpse of an elusive kingfisher at quieter times of the day.

Whatever time of the year you choose to visit this hidden gem you’ll discover something new. In mid-winter the frost and snow on the trees creates a winter wonderland and in autumn the

colours are magical. If you are feeling particularly energetic continue your walk from the lily pond into Manor Road and Dean Road Cemeteries which, themselves, are a treasure trove of beautiful mature trees and wild flowers.

Peasholm Park Friends and The Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemeteries have dedicated and hard working groups whose volunteers spend many hours ensuring that their areas are well looked after. Both groups can be contacted through their respective websites.

When you are ready take a steady stroll back down the glen keeping streamside and wend your way back to Peasholm Park for a well earned cuppa at the café where you can sit, relax and enjoy watching the wildlife on the lake.

The UB-21.

New exhibition on U-boat which wreaked havoc off Scarborough

Words and photo by Dave Barry

A CENTURY ago, the German navy was running riot in the North Sea off Scarborough.

One of the biggest and densest minefields in British waters was laid in the shipping lane a few miles south, claiming 24 British and Allied vessels and many lives over the following months.

And the dreaded U-boats roamed the seas at will, taking countless more vessels and lives with mines and torpedoes.

The most successful Unterseeboot, UB-21, sank 23 British and Allied ships between Whitby and Filey Bay, and damaged many others.

“After the English Channel, our part of the coast has the densest concentration of shipwrecks,” says Carl Racey of Scarborough Sub-Aqua Club, which has recovered scores of artefacts from the wrecks over the last 25 years.

The only vessel which isn’t ‘swimming

with the fishes’ 35-50 metres down is the SS Trelyon, a steam collier which was torpedoed in the South Bay but didn’t sink.

The engines were stopped and the lifeboats lowered but the crew stayed aboard until taken off by a trawler and landed at Scarborough.

The next morning the vessel was beached then refloated and beached again, this time at White Nab. It remained there for three months, during which time a large area of the sea was littered with timber which the Trelyon had shipped from Archangel in Russia.

The UB-21 was one of about 30 U-boats which patrolled this coast, attacking vessels indiscriminately.

A fascinating exhibition looking at the UB-21 and its terrible toll has just opened at the Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC) in Eastborough.

It features information boards, bells, a telegraph / throttle, a ship’s wheel, a steam

kettle, a water filter, a boiler gauge and oil lamps - the ones that swing and sway as the ship pitches.

Most of the exhibits are made of brass; those that aren’t include a ceramic manganese water filter and crockery.

The exhibition has been put together by Carl Racey and Matt Newsome, an MHC volunteer and a member of the diving club.

Matt, who has just completed a university degree in aquatic zoology, joined the diving club because he was interested in marine biology.

Carl is a partner in the encyclopaedic Wrecksite.eu website, the world’s largest online database for shipwrecks, with an average of 4,000 visitors a day.

The small (28m) UB-21 survived the war and its remains lie at the bottom of the Solent, where it sank en route to a scrapyard.

The exhibition runs until the end of August.

STAFF at a Filey supermarket donned war-time garb to celebrate the 70th anniversary of VE Day. Mo Kelly, Tracy Flynn, Kim Porter, Debbie Kaye and Sarah Walker were among those invoking the Dunkirk spirit at Tesco.

The checkout staff at the store dressed as land girls.

Victory in Europe Day, generally known VE Day, was the public holiday celebrated at the end of the European part of the Second World War to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces.

Theatre opens new OutReach premises

Words and photo by Dave Barry

The oldest and youngest members of the Stephen Joseph Theatre’s OutReach have opened its new premises.

Harry Graham, 90, and Jasmine Staton Hill, 5, punched their way through a doorsize sheet of paper to declare the facility open.

The SJT was buzzing with activity as Scarborough’s new community arts initiative was unveiled.

Crowds of people turned out for the celebrations and to take part in free workshops and events showcasing the work of the OutReach department, which runs creative programmes for all ages.

A spokesperson said it had cost £350,000

and took five months to create.

The SJT’s artistic director, Chris Monks, said: “The SJT OutReach Rooms start a new chapter in the story of this theatre.

“Stephen Joseph founded our company in 1955 and it’s fantastic that we can open these new spaces as part of our 60th birthday celebrations, maintaining our passion for theatrical innovation.

These rooms are a community resource for all the people of Scarborough,” Mr Monks said. “We want people to get behind us and spread the word. SJT OutReach is inclusive, friendly, affordable and available for everyone to enjoy.”

Head of OutReach Denise Gilfoyle added: “The opening went incredibly well and we

had such positive feedback from everyone who came. It was great to see people of all ages participating in the workshops.

This is a new direction for OutReach in helping to promote creativity throughout the area.”

Since it was established six years ago, SJT OutReach has continually expanded its range of arts-based activities for children and adults to include new youth theatre groups, adult drama, family performances, dance and choirs, reading and writing groups and the annual ReachOut Festival.

Through the SJT OutReach Rooms, the department will further increase its programme of activities and training initiatives held at the theatre,

in particular by introducing classes concentrating on arts and health, employability and arts and older people.

The department has a multi-purpose studio, a reception area and a new entrance accessible from Northway.

The development has been made possible by £275,000 of lottery funding via Arts Council England and by grants from the Wolfson Foundation, the Foyle Foundation, the Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation and the JC & CM Mein Trust. Additional help has come from the Proudfoot Group, the Samuel Storey Charitable Trust, anonymous donors and public donations.

Magnitude to display art on a large scale Celebration ball to mark 30 years of care

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

A GROUP of North Yorkshire artists are to exhibit large-scale paintings and artworks in an exhibition over the summer in Scarborough.

SAINT Catherine’s Hospice is set to throw a glamorous ball on June 20 to mark its 30 years of care.

The black tie event will take place at Scarborough Spa with a drinks reception in the Sun Court, a dinner in the Grand Hall, dancing with live music by ‘All Night Long’, Spectrum Disco and a midnight breakfast.

Hospice fundraiser, Debbie Kay, said that the ball would be a chance for the hospice to thank supporters.

“So many people have supported the hospice since it opened 30 years ago and

this is a chance to celebrate all we have done together to help families when they needed us most,” she said.

Saint Catherine’s helps more than 2,000 patients every year over a huge area including Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Ryedale, Bridlington and Driffield.

The ball is sponsored by Deep Sea Electronics, chartered accountants Lloyd Dowson, Bluefin insurance services and Adverset media solutions. n Tickets with limited availability are £60 and can be booked by calling the fundraising department at the hospice on 01723 378406.

AWARD-winning actor Gerard Logan and distinguished adapter and director Gareth Armstrong have paired two great pieces of writing to come from Oscar Wilde’s incarceration.

Wilde Without the Boy is a dramatic interpretation of De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s bitterly passionate letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, written from his cell in Reading Gaol two years after he was imprisoned for acts of gross indecency.

Brilliant, loving, witty and passionate, Wilde Without the Boy is a glimpse into the humbled, bruised, loving soul of one of the greatest geniuses ever to have lived.

The Ballad of Reading Gaol, written after his release, is a narrative poem which relates the execution of Charles Thomas Wooldridge for the murder of his wife.

Wilde Without the Boy and The Ballad of

ists create works designed to fit comfortably in a house, these works are painted to gallery scale and so a physical challenge on many levels.

Jo Davis added: “This exciting exhibition will show some of our most talented artists who work beyond the confines of the small studio. It also aims to show the refurbished Old Parcels Office

Reading Gaol are performed by Gerard Logan. The actor has played leading classical and contemporary roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he received an Olivier Award nomination, and the National Theatre. He won The Stage Best Solo Performer Award at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival for his performance in The Rape of Lucrece, as previously seen at the SJT. Director Gareth Armstrong has developed and directed many hugely successful solo shows including his own award-winning play Shylock at the Edinburgh Festival.

Wilde Without the Boy and The Ballad of Reading Gaol can be seen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on 4 June at 7.45pm. n Tickets, priced from £10 to £17.50, are available from the box office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com.

Magnitude takes place between 6-28 June, open Saturday and Sunday only 10-4pm at Scarborough Studios, The Old Parcels Office, Scarborough Station.

Julie all set to launch first ever book

Local society presents popular musical Words by Dave Barry

THE first full staging in Scarborough of the popular family musical Hairspray is at the YMCA Theatre this week.

Following well-received productions of Oliver! in 2013 and Fiddler on the Roof in 2014, Scarborough Musicals is performing its third show at 7.30pm tonight (Friday 29 May) and 2.30pm and 7.30pm tomorrow.

It is co-directed by Tim Tubbs and Sheryl Buttner (who also choreographs), with a nine-piece band led by musical director Will Oseland.

The 40-strong local cast features guest singer Jess Gardham from York, in the role of sassy DJ Motormouth Maybelle.

Opening on Broadway in 2002, Hairspray scooped eight Tony awards, including best musical, and ran for six years.

The West End production, starring Michael Ball and Scarborough’s Ben James-Ellis, won a record-breaking 11 Olivier awards, again including best musical.

The 2007 film version starring John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer and Queen Latifah became the sixth highest-grossing film musical ever.

Set in 1962 Baltimore, Hairspray tells the upbeat story of a big-hearted teenage girl’s struggle to be accepted on a daytime song-and-dance TV show, breaking down racial barriers and getting her guy along the way.

With its memorably flamboyant characters, outrageous fashions and catchy pastiche 1960s score, Hairspray is perfect feel-good entertainment for all the family.

Songs include Good Morning Baltimore, Mama I’m a Big Girl, Welcome to the Sixties, You’re Timeless to Me and You Can’t Stop the Beat. n Tickets cost £10 (concessions £8, family tickets £30, group discounts) and can be bought at the YMCA box office, by ringing 506750 and online at www.scarborough.ymca.org.uk.

Julie Heslington

Words by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH lady Julie Heslington is set to launch her very first fictional novel, 13 years after initially coming up with the idea.

Julie, 43, who lives in Osgodby, said: “I came up with the idea for the book in 2002 and started writing it in 2003 although I had significant periods of time when I wasn’t writing. I began submitting it to publishers in September 2013 and was offered a publishing deal in September 2014.

“The book is titled Searching for Steven and came about due to a personal experience I had with a clairvoyant some years ago.

“I write under the pseudonym of Jessica Redland and I am very excited to see my work out in the public for people to read.”

The book is the first of a trilogy that Julie is wiriting and the next two books follow on the story.

She added: “My second full-length novel, Getting Over Gary will be released in 2016 and the next in the series will be out in 2017 hopefully. The title for that one isn’t finalised yet.

“All the books are set in a fictional North Yorkshire coastal town called Whitsborough Bay which is predominantly modelled on Scarborough.”

The book is available on e-Book and paperback from Wednesday June 3. n For further information go to: www.jessicaredland.com

Music fans set for seventh heaven at Staxtonbury 2015

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

STAxTONBURY 2015 is all set to send music fans into seventh heaven.

This year’s event will be held from Friday July 3 to Sunday July 5 2015 and will mark the seventh year of Staxtonbury.

The event takes place on the idyllic 24 acre site at Manor Farm, Staxton, between Scarborough and Malton.

Over 400 musicians and singers will be performing on the four stages.

It is believed that this year’s festival will be the largest group of Yorkshire based entertainers ever assembled in the county at one single event.

After previous years the organisers are confident that it will again be a terrific show and that visitors will come from not only all over Yorkshire but from all around the world.

The organisers have received band applications from as far afield as Paris, Southampton and London, but again has stayed with the home grown Yorkshire talent that seem to get better and better each year.

So as to not make this a White Rose only event there will be a guest appearance from Essex band, Kast off Kinks.

Kast off Kinks are joining the line-up after years of

persuasion from the organisers for them to journey north to show that they are one of best bands the country has produced.

The Kast off Kinks include original Kinks members Mick Avery (drums) and John Dalton (guitar) along with other members who have performed alongside Ray Davies in the past.

These southern legends will be supported by a line-up that has never been seen before in North Yorkshire including, Huge, a York based band that are tipped to break into the big time and The Sherlocks, a very popular four-piece band from Sheffield with a big fan base, plus Scarborough’s very own top bands including, Soul Rida, Snatch, Quicks and Friday Street.

Other Scarborough bands featured are Tyler J Smith, Aftermath, Alan Lewis, Bongomania, Boolas, Consequences, Terri Ann Pendergast, Sub Gents, Stray Scene, Starfish, Trilogy, Rat Pack, Amy Culter, Lauren Major, Unit 3, TFI, North of the Wall, Jim Taylor, Ashleigh McPherson, Tom Davenport, Seaside Strummers and Sophie Nairns.

Also returning will be three bands that have performed at every previous Staxtonbury festival, Blue Alibi, The Shamrockers and Dead White Doves (Grand Urge) This year’s festival will see a new concept as a “Jammin” Marquee is introduced for the first time.

This marquee sets out sessions and encourages musicians of all ages and genres to bring along their instruments to join in the groups.

There will also be Ukulele and Drumming workshops with performances scheduled for Saturday evening on some of the stages.

This will be an exciting weekend for all ages as the festival has free activities for all.

Weekend adult tickets are £48 which includes event camping.

Single day admission for Friday or Saturday is by advanced ticket sales only.

Tickets are available at the festival website: www.staxtonbury.com Any charitable organisations are encouraged to apply for their free tickets early – the address is on the contacts page of the website.

The latest to sign up are striker Tom Corner and midfielder Dan Clayton, who join Gary Bradshaw, Ben Middleton, Matty Plummer and Alex Metcalfe in committing to the club for next season.

Joint-manager Paul Foot commented on the latest news of Corner and Clayton staying on: “Me and Bryan are really pleased that Tom and Dan have agreed to stay on for next season.”

Corner scored nine goals in 13 appearances for the club last season, helping to keep the club in the race for the play-offs. Clayton impressed in his eight appearances towards the end of 2014/15 after joining from Gainsborough Trinity.

Moving on is defender Daniel Wilkinson, who is leaving as he can’t commit to the club due to his university studies.

No need to stay home and cook!

Bring Dad and the whole family out and let us do all the hard work!

but Foot insists the door is always open.

“Dan is gutted to be leaving, he can’t commit with the travelling plus his university work. The door is always open for him to come back to us. He has performed really well for us in defence and we are sad to see him go but it’s Dan’s decision and we respect that.”

by Andy Standing

SCARBOROUGH is set to play host to the first round of the British P1 Superstock Powerboat Championship. The 12 crews will take part in four races spread over the two days. Saturday will also see the boats take part in a parade down the coast to Filey.

All the action will be in the South Bay and live race commentary will be broadcast to the thousands of spectators who are expected to flock to the coast for the first visit of the high speed machines. Running alongside the powerboat championship is the Aquax jet ski race series.

There will also be freestyle jet ski displays on both days. Billed as the ‘Grand Prix of the Sea’ it is sure to be an exciting spectacle as the 28’ boats, powered by a 250 bhp engine can reach speeds of up to 70 mph.

Robert Wicks, P1 Chief Operating Officer said: “We are excited about making our first visit to North Yorkshire

with our fleet of 12 P1 Panther powerboats and more than 40 jet ski riders. Our aim is to serve up a memorable weekend of outstanding sporting entertainment for all the family and for our P1 Grand Prix of the Sea to become an annual event in South Bay.” The 2014 championship was won by team GD Environmental Service, driven by James Norvill who pipped IFx racing by only 17 points, both will be looking to make solid starts to the 2015 campaign.

After Scarborough the crews head south for round 2 in Gosport before returning north to Hull on 8 and 9 August.

The penultimate round is in Cardiff before the season finale on 12 and 13 September in Bournemouth.

CAPTAIN’S REVIEW Neil Elvidge THE first few weeks back as Scarborough Cricket Club’s first team captain have been exciting for me personally and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I have been massively encouraged by the squad’s attitude and it is a young team with lots of ambition.

We have been in good form in the league and the players are working very hard to get better and better every game.

My role as captain had been in the pipeline for a couple of years and I am delighted to have finally taken up the role.

The plan for the future of the club is to get more local young players coming through and playing first team cricket for Scarborough. We are all working together to make this happen and I have been very encouraged so far.

I am working closely with the second team captain Mark Cowell and we will be giving players an opportunity to shine should they want it.

I think in the last couple of seasons some players felt held back and were not given the opportunity to impress, but that has changed now and that brings a great

atmosphere to the set up and everyone is hungry.

I have been very impressed with opening bowler Anthony Hunter, who is a local lad from Cayton.

He, along with the likes of batsman Alex Carrie and and pace bowler Kritsian Wilkinson, who both came from Heslerton, have also been showing good form.

I am 42 now so I see my position with the club as someone who has the experience and knowledge to pass on to the next generation and that is the key.

I am still enjoying playing though and as long as that continues I will keep putting the pads on.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes with the junior section of the club and we want to encourage more youngsters to get involved in the game.

There is a very positive atmosphere at the club and we are all pulling in the same direction to take things forward.

Scarborough Cricket Club Captain Neil Elvidge.

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

HACKNESS Tennis Club served up a treat as they held a smashing event as part of the Great British Tennis Weekend.

This was all part of the Lawn Tennis Association’s drive to get people into playing the sport, and the event at Hackness proved a resounding success.

Sally Jubb, of Hackness Tennis Club, said: “We had well over 60 attend, some members and some new people who were looking to see what we have to offer and to join as members.

“The five courts were busy from 10am4pm with people either playing or having coaching with Adam Tildsley.

There were people of all ages and abilities and we were really pleased with the turn-out and expect to see many of the people who came to Hackness Tennis Club today coming back for more.

“Some people were looking for group adult coaching, some for junior coaching and some families for both. Some people just wanted to play.”

The club are hosting another open day on Sunday 14 June from 10am-4pm and would like to encourage people of all abilities to go along for a free session or a group coaching session. Newcomers

who are interested can then go along to a further two free sessions before they decide whether they want to join the tennis club.

The club is a great way to socialise, learn to play or enjoy new skills at great facilities in a picturesque setting.

Surfer Steve is riding on the crest of a wave Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk TALES from the Cooler Water takes a bit of a twist this month as I am writing about the man behind it Steve Crawford.

Steve has been writing a superb monthly column for the Scarborough Review every month while also running his surf school from the South Bay. I wanted to give Steve something back so suggested I go and take photographs and witness him teaching a session.

It worked out perfectly because Steve had a group coming from Norton College for a lesson, so off I went down to the South Bay to witness him at work.

Steve immediately made the group feel comfortable as they got into their wet suits and prepared to hit the beach.

They were happy for me to take pictures and one or two of the guys quite fancied themselves as a bit Baywatch with their poses.

All the gear was on and surf boards ready as they headed out onto the South Bay beach in front of the Spa Complex.

The group had been tutored by Steve before so they had an understanding of the concept. After warming up and going over some of the basics again,

they were off out into the sea.

Although the waves were not great, the group seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves and Steve was always on hand to help them improve.

I would encourage anyone to go and give this a try and with Steve as your mentor you won’t go too far wrong.

Beginners Lessons are available all summer and advanced and intermediate lessons all year.

Upcoming beach Steve (far right) cleans: A less formal and the group from Norton Co llege meet up at South Bay on Saturday 30 May 6pm at the Spa bridge slipway weather permitting. A chance to have a chat , sit on the beach and puck up some litter.

July 18 SAS / Barefoot wine beach clean 1-3pm South Bay. We are lucky to be one of only eight beaches chosen to host a barefoot beach clean this year.

Steve’s top ten surf tip s:

Steve shows how it is done

The group warm up on the South

1. If you’ve never sur fed before have at least one lesson to begin with tha t way you start safely an d have more fun.

2. Always check condition s before you sur f, either call a sur f shop or ask the lifeguards to make sure you sur f in a safe place.

3. Take a bit of time bef ore you go in to watch the waves so you’ll head out where the waves are bes t.

4. Don’t fight the waves , if it’s powerful when you are walking out wait a bit for the waves to subsid e a bit.

5. With surfing the more you put in the more you get out. Put plenty of en ergy into catching the waves, don’t just lay on your board and expect the wave to catch you.

6. When you are buying your first wetsuit make sure you get one warm enough for the East Co ast, a cheap suit may seem like a good idea until it’s December and you are freezing yourself silly.

7. Before you buy your fi rst board try a few first to make sure it’s the best one for you to learn on.

Ge t something secondhand with plenty of float.

8. Try and find a sur f bu ddy, it’s safest and it’s always good to have som eone to watch your bes t waves.

9. Always respect other sur fers in the water. Ma ke sure you check there is no one on the wave or in front of you before you paddle for the wave.

10. Finally, have fun! Su rfing is a great sport. Jus t make sure you follow the safety rules and you’ll have a great time.

DIVISION A

Staxton 2nds are clear at the top of Division B, dropping only right points in four games. Scalby 2nds and free scoring Forge Valley 2nds complete the top three, closely followed by newly promoted Ravenscar and regular contenders Thornton Dale who have picked after losing in the first week. There have some fine games in this division already, Ganton successfully chasing down Bridlington’s 244/3 in week four being the pick. Sewerby 2nds and Fylingdales are in the bottom three but within touching distance of mid table, but a youthful Scarborough thirds find thmselves currently well off the pace.

DIVISION C

It’s tight at the top in the fourth tier as only six points separate last season’s Derwent Valley League Champions Flamborough, who moved top in week four, to Ryedale in sixth position. New teams Muston and Great Habton have also made positive starts to the season, along with Heslerton 2nds and Seamer 2nds, for whom Craig baker has scored the division’s highest score with 149 not out.

Ebberston 2nds and Wykeham 2nds have both got that all important first win, but Cloughton 2nds are rooted at the bottom on ten points.

Seamer are the early season pace setters with a 100% record, winning all four games. Gregg Chadwick has been in fine form, alongside Adam and Matty Morris.

Mulgrave suffered a first week home defeat but have shown their potential since, with three wins and are second.

Only 14 points separate the next six teams, with Brompton and Grindale leading the chasing pack. Wold Newton were unable to field a team in week three, suffering a 10 point deduction which leaves both themselves and Cloughton in danger of being left behind at the bottom.

DIVISON A

Staithes lead the way in the premier division, despite an opening day setback at Cayton. Three consecutive wins have moved them onto 64 points and into position for a title challenge. Cayton and the leagues only unbeaten side, reigning champions Staxton are hot on their heels both just two points behind. Cayton’s express start to the season was brought to a halt with a home defeat against previously winless Filey, who following their first win, leapt into mid table, alongside Ebberston, Forge Valley and Scalby who have made useful starts. Last season’s runners up Heslerton are in the bottom three after a slow start, although they do have a game in hand at Forge Valley. Nawton Grange are third from bottom on 27 points with Flixton 2nds still the only side to register a win and are at the foot of the table.

Minstergate: A glance at the new Peugeot 208 BUILDING on the success of the current car, the New Peugeot 208 has been reenergised with an assertive, strong and elegant style, 8 efficient euro engines and innovative technology.

The streamlined front face has sharper, more pronounced lines and features a fully integrated grill. New shape cornering assist fog lights are standard from Allure level and new two-tone black and chrome headlights are standard from Active level.

Interior and exterior packs are available and include features such as gloss black grill finisher, sports seats with contrast stitching and satin chrome air vent finishes.

Technology-wise, the 208 features great levels of specification such as Park assist – the

automatic parallel parking system, optional reversing camera, Access Air conditioning that can be controlled by Bluetooth and Active city break – a short range sensor that can help prevent accident seriousness in urban conditions.

When it comes to engines, the 208 has been launched with a complete range of Euro 6 engines. The diesel engines enjoy an exceptional fuel economy and impressively low CO2 emissions.

In line with other models, a new GT line badge level has been introduced above Allure level. This adopts many of the styling attributes of GTi but with mainstream engines and is available in both 3 and 5 door variants.

Orange Power – the dynamic, new, metallic paint colour available.
