FLAMINGO LAND PLAN

“WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER” s king Boo g bein now n e tak

An artist’s impression of how Flamingo Land Coast would look

A FUTURISTIC tourist attraction will be built on the former Futurist site on Scarborough seafront, if plans submitted to the council reach fruition.

The authority has asked for an environmental impact assessment to be carried out, before Flamingo Land makes a full formal application.

The company is planning a public consultation to give the public chance to comment on the proposals and ask

questions. Feedback and suggestions will be used to help shape the full application before it is submitted to the council.

Flamingo Land is “committed to creating a new, exciting family attraction in Scarborough and we are looking forward to sharing these plans with the public”, says chief executive Gordon Gibb.

A lot of work has been going on behind the scenes in preparation

for the application to be submitted.

Technical surveys have been carried out, in particular to assess the suitability of the slope at the back of the development area. Talks are taking place with ride manufacturers and specialist engineers are assessing the safety and installation aspects.

Council leader Derek Bastiman said: “The proposed transformation of the former Futurist site into a state-of-the-art and extremely high-

quality attraction that exceeds the aspirations of today’s families would be a game changer for the south bay, Scarborough and indeed the whole of the Yorkshire coast”. * Nearby residents and businesses are to be spared the noise and vibrations of further piling work at the site, as the builders have decided it is no longer necessary.

Plaxton crew get down to basics for charity Words & photos

by Dave Barry THIRTY young men who work at Plaxton’s and the Rugby Club will bare all for two good causes at a show at the Spa Grand Hall in Scarborough.

The Full Monty, on 8 November, will raise funds for Saint Catherine’s and Prostate Cancer UK. The promoters promise that they are talking about the full monty - total nudity. In similar shows derived from the hit film, participants have protected their modesty with skimpy underwear.

The show will be a full night of entertainment, with a raffle, from 7.30pm until 11pm.

Tickets cost £10 and will go on sale on 1 April at the Spa. * An in-patient at Saint Catherine’s had a good laugh when a friend in a monkey suit visited her.

Jackie Whitelaw, of Filey, watches the TV show Monkey Life every day, a habit which has continued during her stay at the hospice.

Her friend Terry Dunn, also from Filey, borrowed the suit to give her a nice surprise.

Jackie said it made her day, adding: “I thought it was brilliant. It really made me laugh”. * The hospice is inviting supporters to sign up for its four big fundraising events of the year. Individuals, families, groups of friends and business teams can take part.

The events are Starlight at Scampston Hall near Rillington, a family fun day

with an enchanted walk and an evening stroll (11 May); the Stepney Scramble at Stepney Hill Farm, a tough-terrain, funfilled obstacle course (14 July); a 6.5-mile circular sunrise walk around the north and south bays, starting at the hospice at 6am (22 Sep); the Santa Dash, aka festive fun run, from Sea Life to Hairy Bob’s skatepark and back (8 Dec). * Georgia Campbell, 19, of Falsgrave, did a sponsored skydive in aid of the hospice in Melbourne, Australia, on 27

February.

It was in memory of her granddad, Colin Stacey, who died of cancer in 2016 after being cared for by the hospice. * Severfield in Sherburn has given another £6,000 to the hospice, taking its donations over the years to £30,000. Staff nominated the charity.

ACCORDING to the World Health Organisation, over 1.25m people die each year as a result of road-traffic crashes.

Injuries from such accidents are the leading cause of death among people aged 15-29.

In Britain, 181,384 accident casualties included 1,792 deaths in 2016; 44% were car occupants, 25% pedestrians, 25% motorcyclists and 6% cyclists.

However, the long-term trend in the numbers killed and injured in road accidents has been declining, especially in the last two decades.

of vehicles and roads have contributed to the decline, which has occurred while road traffic has increased.

The measures include an event which reinforced the Green Cross Code, at Scarborough library.

Members of the county-council's road-safety team engaged with about 300 adults and children including a lively gaggle of Barrowcliff School pupils, a mums-and-tots group and a a nursery group.

It was organised by road-safety and travel-awareness officer Mandy Pepworth, who said it had resulted from a conversation she had with a pedestrian who had recently been hurt in a roadtraffic incident.

Mandy said: “After our

discussion, it was noted that not all adults know what engineering has been put in place on our highways for pedestrians to encourage them to cross at safer points”.

Most children have been taught how to use the improved types of crossing at school.

“However, once becoming an

adult, we see that the general view towards the green cross code is that the public know about it but don’t feel the need to update their crossing skills”, said Mandy. “This event was to bridge that gap and give adults an opportunity to ask questions about road safety, to which we had a very good response”.

Young climate activists skip school to protest Words & photos

by Dave Barry ABOUT 30 children took the day off school to protest about climate change.

The Youth Strike for Climate Scarborough, in the town centre, was one of many simultaneous events around the world.

Frustrated with the slow progress at national and international levels, young people took to the streets to demand concrete action from their governments.

The Scarborough protest was coordinated by Murray Robinson, who encouraged fellow pupils at St Augustine’s School to join him.

He said: “The way I see it is that we’re the generation that’s being told we have to change the world when the

current leaders aren’t around any more. What’s the point of giving us this job if there’ll be no world to change?

“There’s no planet B. I am fearful of the situation around us but we must all overcome this fear if we are to help the world. After all, I’m only 15 and I don’t want to burn”.

His mum, Claire Robinson, said: “I fully support my children, and indeed all children who choose to strike. I see daily the anxiety my children feel, the fear and sense of helplessness when they see more and more information regarding climate change.

“They are educated, aware and awake young people who feel the need to try and take control of a situation that will profoundly affect their futures.

They have made the decision to strike independently, but with the full support of myself and

my husband”.

About a dozen pupils from St Augustine’s took part. They said the staff had mixed opinions, some in support, others saying education was more important.

“We all believe we’re doing it for the right cause”, Murray added.

Ace Bailey, 13, and Lorenzo Silva-Budda, 14, said their school, Graham, “didn’t want to approve but we made ‘em”.

UTC students say they were physically prevented from leaving campus to join the protest.

William Beaumont, 10, has set up a group called Children for Positive Environmental Change at his school, Friarage.

Members pick up litter in the playground.

The assembly was addressed

by Green Party candidate David Malone, who said: “It’s nice to see them out here. It

takes a little bit of courage to step out of line. It’s a good habit to get into while you’re young”.

The event was promoted by Extinction Rebellion (XR), an international social movement that aims to drive radical change through nonviolent resistance to avert climate breakdown, halt biodiversity loss and minimise the risk of human extinction and ecological collapse.

A spokesperson said: “Here in Scarborough, our council became one of the first in the UK to declare a climate emergency. But we need to make those words mean something, which is why XR and others like us continue to demand action to de-carbonise our transport and energy infrastructure and prepare for inevitable changes in the way we live our lives.

“There will be more floods,

more coastal erosion and more frequent and severe heatwaves in Yorkshire - much of it a direct consequence of climate change, which is already happening. But we can do something to avert disaster if we act now and demand that others join us”.

The protest was supported

by Frack Free Scarborough, among others, with speakers from various groups and parties invited to speak alongside students.

Besides the protest, the youngsters organised a litter pick to highlight our throw-away society and its consequences for other

species.

A similar event will be staged on 15 March in the same place.

The climate strike movement started last August when schoolgirl Greta Thunberg staged a solo protest outside the Swedish parliament.

The 16-year-old activist has addressed the UN. Following Scarborough Council’s declaration of a climate emergency in January, campaigners have been trying to encourage the authority to appoint a sustainability officer and make specific objectives on how to become carbon neutral by 2030.

Beer festival finds a new home at Spa Words

by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S annual beer festival, which was cancelled last year, is getting ready to settle into its new home.

Last year’s festival, due to be held at the old parcel sorting office at the railway station, was called off when the venue said it was no longer available.

The disappointed festival organisers quickly scouted around for an alternative but

couldn’t find one.

However, they have found a home for the 2019 festival - the Spa Ocean Room. It will run from 7-9 March, from noon until 11pm.

The festival will feature up to 80 real ales showcasing distinctive beers and breweries all over the country, including local ones and 18 casks from micro-breweries in Scotland.

The local breweries providing beer include event sponsors Wold Top Brewery, Great Newsome and Timothy Taylor.

About 25 boxes of ciders and

perries will include produce from the heartland of cider country, the South West, plus local ciders from Hedgehoggers and Tree Top Press. Many will be making a first appearance in Scarborough.

Organiser Stewart Campbell of the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale said: “We are delighted that, following last year’s unfortunate chain of events, we will be staging our third real-ale festival in association with the Spa. “As well as a plentiful supply of beer, there will be a range of

good-quality hot and cold food plus snacks catered by the Spa plus soft drinks for drivers”, Stewart said.

The festival will incorporate Yorkshire Beard Day, described as “a follically fun, family friendly, fundraising event”, raising money for prostatecancer awareness. It will culminate in competitions on the Saturday afternoon.

British Beard Club member and event organiser Anthony Springall says: “2019 is the eighth year of celebrating Yorkshire Beard Day and

the British Beard Club’s 10th anniversary year, so what better way to celebrate facial hair in all its variety, glory and wonder than in the company of the finest beers Yorkshire has to offer?”

The Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers will raise money for the Rainbow Centre by running a tombola and games stall.

The festival will feature live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, with Thursday designated a quiet night.

Accompanied children will be

welcome until 8pm.

Entrance will cost £5, including a glass which can be exchanged at the end of the evening.

A minibus shuttle service will operate between the station and the Spa from the opening time until the last train out of town. n Advertisers and sponsors who would like to support the festival should email Stewart on stewartcampbell2003@yahoo. co.uk.

Kids skip school to go skipping A LARGE part of Scarborough’s seafront road will be closed to traffic for the traditional skipping of Shrove Tuesday – 5 March.

Foreshore Road will be cordoned off from noon to 5pm and children will be allowed the afternoon off school.

The skipping will follow pancake-tossing races in

Aberdeen Walk, organised by Yorkshire Coast Radio.

Borough mayor Joe Plant will ring the pancake bell in North Street at noon; the sea cadets in East Sandgate will serve pancakes from noon; and an all-day Go Flipping pancake event will be staged in the Market Hall.

Shrove Tuesday is linked to

Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis. The date can vary from as early as 3 February to as late as 9 March.

Easter can fall any time between 22 March and 25 April.

This year, Good Friday is on 19 April, Easter Day is on 21 April and the Easter Monday bank holiday is on 22 April.

Pupils take part in business awards

PUPILS from the seven secondary schools in Scarborough and Filey will take part in the Star women-inbusiness awards at the Spa on 12 April.

“It will be a great opportunity for them to meet each other and see for themselves the inspiring, wide-ranging and exceptional successes of the business community”, said Kay

Fraser of Coventry University’s local campus.

The children will come from Scalby, Pindar, Graham, Ebor Academy in Filey, St Augustine's, the UTC and Scarborough College.

Comedian Jenny Eclair will be the guest speaker at the awards ceremony, which will be hosted by former TV presenter Carolyn Hodgson.

WORTH THEIR SALT

The promoters say the event will be the biggest single gathering of inspiring female achievers in the local business community.

Willows Lull, a Scarborough charity offering respite care for children with life-limiting disabilities and complex needs, is the beneficiary.

THE Salt charity shop in Falsgrave has donated £250 to the Bowls ‘n’ Buggies group at Scarborough bowls centre. The money was used to buy playing shirts for members, adorned with the new club logo. Carol Sellers and Rosemary Forrest from Salt are pictured with the club’s resident coaches, Graham Middleton and Bob Cross, and members. Salt stands for Scarborough and Locals Together.

A VOLUNTEERING fair is to be held at Coventry University’s Scarborough campus on 21 March, between 11am and 2pm.

It will be an opportunity for charities to sign up new volunteers and members of the public to give something back to the community, while developing new skills and strengthening their CVs. Organisations already signed up to take part include North Yorkshire Youth, North Yorkshire Victim Support, Age UK, Scarborough Survivors, Re:Shape, Advocacy Alliance, Saint Catherine’s, Stephen Joseph Theatre, NY Horizons, the Samaritans, the Rainbow Centre and the National Literacy Trust.

Dinner raises £4,593 for children’s hospital A DINNER with a raffle and auction at the Plough Inn, Scalby, raised £4,593 for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London.

Organisers Mark Deeming and Tom Harrison work for Qdos, which owns the Plough, and which has been raising money for the charity for many years.

Much of the food was donated

by Stepney Hill Farm and the Prosecco came from Betton Wine. Many other businesses gave prizes and auction lots.

Mark and Tom will run the London Marathon for the charity.

Mark said: “The specialised work undertaken at Great Ormond Street benefits children right across the UK. The hospital is a national institution and helps patients from all corners of the country, including Yorkshire, and often in the most difficult circumstances.

“As such, the charity is the perfect partner for Qdos,” he said. “Our pantomimes are created in Yorkshire and enjoyed in theatres throughout Britain.”

The Post Office in Aberdeen Walk, Scarborough, is all set to move round the corner into the back of WH Smith, in May. Royal Mail, whose sorting office is at the back of the Post Office, will stay put and probably extend into the space used by the Post Office. The possibility of a new post office in Newborough has been shelved.

Scarborough police appear to have unwittingly thrown down the gauntlet to potential beach-chalet burglars.

They have asserted that the chalets are “too 'hut' to handle for criminals”, as they are frequently patrolled, which may sound like a challenge to some minds. Police have received several reports of break-ins and burglaries at the northbay chalets.

A man and a woman from Eastfield aged 25 and 26 have been arrested on suspicion of supplying cannabis. Police raided a property on 21 February and seized cannabis, cash, mobile phones and drugs paraphernalia.

An old stone arch is being rebuilt at a carpark next to Scarborough railway station. Temporary traffic lights are controlling the traffic on Westborough and in and out of the carpark, opposite the Methodist church. The wall at the carpark exit, which is part of a listed building, was becoming unstable and needed repairing.

Five teenagers have been charged with robbery after mobile phones were shoplifted from Currys in Seamer Road. The police were called to an incident at 12.25pm on Sunday 17 February. They arrested four suspects nearby a short time later, followed by the fifth in York the day after. All five suspects, who are from Leeds, were remanded in custody to appear at York magistrates’ court. They are aged 19, 16 and three aged 15.

Annual walk has Schools persuade raised £215,000 parents to park for local children and stride Words & photos

by Dave Barry PREPARATIONS are under way for an annual walk which raises thousands of pounds a year for local charities.

The 42nd Crown Tavern Charity Walk, on Sunday 5 May, raises between £8,000 and £10,500 for local disabled and disadvantaged children.

It is always the day before the May Day bank holiday so participants can get a wellearned rest the next day.

There are two options: a 22mile walk starting in Hawsker and an eight-mile one starting at Hayburn Wyke. Both follow the old railway track and end at the Crown Tavern pub in Scalby Road, Scarborough.

“Many of our beneficiaries take part in the shorter walk - some in wheelchairs - and in effect are helping to raise money for themselves”, says Tracey Shaw, one of the organisers.

Whichever one they choose, walkers get a free coach ride from the pub, where registration takes place, to the starting points.

“It would be really great to have a few more team entries such as work colleagues, groups of friends or families”, says Tracey.

“Although it is a challenge walk, it is a beautiful one with stunning scenery and there

are loads of check points with refreshments along the way”.

When walkers arrive back at the Crown Tavern, the adults are offered a free pint and under-18s are given soft drinks; everyone gets a hot dog.

“We do our best to make it a really good atmosphere for the walkers and family waiting to cheer them home. We will have live music and our regular EJ the DJ. There is a raffle with loads of great prizes up for grabs, all provided by local businesses, and we usually try to draw this around 4.30 to 5pm”.

There are trophies for the youngest boy, the youngest girl, the highest sponsored individual and even the biggest blister.

“We are so grateful to the businesses who make donations towards all the costs so we can ensure that every penny raised by walkers is passed on to the beneficiaries”,

It would be really great to have a few more team entries such as work colleagues, groups of friends or families.

Tracey says.

“100% of what the walkers raise is donated to the beneficiaries,” she adds. “Over the 40 years we have raised approximately £215,000. The beneficiaries are all local charities for disabled and disadvantaged children and young people”.

The organising committee has six members: Jane Moment, Ray Springall, Mike Goode, Ian Holland, Susan North and Tracey Shaw.

However, Tracey, Jane and Ray, after 27, 26 and 42 years respectively, are hanging up their organising boots and handing over the reins to the town’s two Rotary clubs, who will run the walk from 2020 onwards.

Tracey says: “Due to other commitments, we have all made the very difficult decision to stand down after such a long time as organisers and felt it was best if we all left together”.

Entry / sponsor forms are available at the pub; from Jane Moment on 07999 839338; and via the website, www.crowncharitywalk.co.uk.

by Dave Barry TWO Scarborough schools are slowly winning a battle to stop parents dropping children off as close as they possibly can.

St Martin’s and Wheatcroft schools, which are side by side on the South Cliff, have been facing growing dangers from huge volumes of vehicles converging on their cul-de-sac all at once.

The schools recently mounted a four-day campaign aimed at persuading parents to park and stride to school, to help alleviate traffic congestion on Holbeck Hill.

Parents have been asked to park their vehicles in the council carpark at Holbeck, which is free. It takes about five minutes to walk from there to the schools, via Wheatcroft Avenue.

The county council’s roadsafety team, the police and the fire service teamed up for the exercise.

Each morning, children were set a task on road safety. To encourage them to participate, they collected a raffle ticket for every morning they walked to school. Prizes were awarded to winners from both schools.

The last day of the event was Valentine’s Day. Pupils at both schools made Valentine cards for parents who participated,

thanking them for getting them and their friends safely to school and helping reduce the amount of traffic around the schools’ entrances.

Mandy Pepworth, the county council’s road-safety and travel awareness officer, said most parents understood and accepted the reasons for the campaign.

Horse helps thin Raincliffe woods

Covering Scarborough, Filey & Hunmanby

Could the job fair be just the job for you?

Words & photos

by Dave Barry OVER 40 employers and hundreds of jobs will be on offer at the eighth annual Scarborough Job Fair.

The free event, at the Grand Hotel on 14 March, from 11am to 1.30pm, will be opened by Welcome to Yorkshire chief executive Sir Gary Verity.

Organised by Scarborough Jobcentre Plus and sponsored

by Aspire-igen, the popular fair is open to the public and will have more interactive opportunities than previous fairs.

It’s an ideal opportunity to meet and talk to companies about recruitment plans, with many employers conducting interviews on the day.

Jobcentre recruitment managers Janine Richardson and Bron Dixon said: “With over 40 employers we expect there to be hundreds of jobs on offer. Much of what we do is about working in partnership with the employer community.

Without the continued funding and support from Aspire-igen, we wouldn’t be able to provide this unique opportunity for employers to showcase their jobs and meet so many great potential candidates”.

by Dave Barry A HEAVY horse is helping to thin a popular woodland area on the outskirts of Scarborough.

Scores of larch trees are being removed from Raincliffe Woods, Row Brow and Forge Valley.

The timber is being removed both mechanically and with the help of Missy.

The 16-year-old cob is guided by her handler Chris Wadsworth, of British Horse Loggers in Guisborough.

Whereas the vehicles are churning up the muddy paths, Missy’s hoof prints are much less noticeable as she hauls tree-trunk sections across ancient holloways and through hilly oak groves.

The trees are being felled by woodsman Andy Ireland, who can land a tree on a four-inch target if there is no wind to foil his calculations.

The aim is to return the area to its ancient woodland state through judicious thinning, allowing ground plants to thrive and broadleaf trees more space to grow.

There are too many larch trees, which have been planted in rows, giving the impression of a plantation. “We aim to remove the bulk of them and return the wood to a better balance of hard and softwood”, says Dave Evans, one of 14 directors of Raincliffe Wood Community Enterprise (RWCE).

“We are conserving indigenous trees such as oak by thinning around them, creating a halo effect and allowing them to thrive, albeit slowly. We also have a large number of ash trees in Forge Valley woods which are dying back at a rapid rate. We are not yet sure what will replace them”, Dave says.

The heavy-horse operation is complemented by a contractor who is mostly removing larch, plus a few beech.

The timber is sold to Flixton

Missy is guided by handler Chris Wadsworth (to order photos ring 353597)

sawmill for firewood and the income invested into this and other woodland management programmes.

All the footpaths will be reinstated by a local contractor.

“We aim to support local companies and eventually create local employment”, Dave says.

The woods are owned by Scarborough Council, which set up RWCE to manage them. The council invited the Woodland Trust to advise RWCE and carry out initial felling on its behalf. A lease will be signed shortly transferring ownership to RWCE. The area covered by Raincliffe Woods, Row Brow and Forge Valley is 221 hectares, making RWCE the largest community enterprise in the country.

All the work is planned by the RWCE board and all board members are local volunteers.

To join or become a member, register on the website raincliffewoods.co.uk.

The partnership is vital to the job fair, said Aspireigen’s employment and skills manager Jane Elsworth-Barker, who described the event as “a highlight of the year.

“It is great to be able to support the Scarborough community in such a positive and dynamic way. Bringing both employers and potential employees together in such a positive and enthusiastic setting is what we are all about”.

Last year’s event proved a huge success for exhibitors and visitors, with many stories of personal triumph emerging from it.

This year’s promises to be even bigger and better, featuring companies from a broad range of sectors. They include Scarborough NHS Trust, B&Q, Coventry University, Cooplands, Pindar Graphics, Sirius Minerals, Sainsbury, Britannia Hotels, Scarborough Council, Haven Holiday Parks, Papas Fish & Chips, Flamingo Land, David Woods Bakery, Gladstone Care, Active Security and Castle Employment Agency.

Garden centre raises £29,903 for charity DEAN’S GARDEN CENTRE, based in Scarborough and York, has raised a whopping £29,903.70 for Macmillan Cancer Support, which was their chosen charity of 2018.

The family run business held numerous fundraising activities, competitions, merchandise, cash collections throughout the year to raise funds as well as donations from the Partners themselves.

Sarah Child, local Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support said “We are truly amazed at this wonderful donation, which is enough to fund a Macmillan nurse for more than six months, helping cancer patients right here in York and Scarborough, live life as fully as they can. A huge thank you to everyone at Dean’s Garden Centre for their dedication to raising funds throughout the year and to their customers for their generosity.”

Laura Dean, Charity Coordinator at Dean’s Garden Centre said “Macmillan has a

special place in our employee’s and customers hearts, which is clear from the amount raised – this is the most we have ever raised for a charity partner and we are delighted that it will make such a difference locally.”

Macmillan is the UK’s leading cancer supporter charity giving personal, one to one care and support to thousands of people every day. Macmillan is here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can,

providing physical, financial and emotional support.

Macmillan Cancer Support is a national charity with local impact, there are around 54 Macmillan professionals supporting people affected by cancer in York and Scarborough, including a breast care nurse, palliative care team, head and neck cancer specialists and benefits advisor. Every penny raised makes a vital difference.

Once approved, process de-gassing & pre-heating is conducted, in order to ensure a clean surface prior to coating.

Wheels are cured in a specially designed oven, ensuring that glass-like clarity is achieved & a satin or matt lacquered option can be applied.

Grant will help tools club achieve its goal Words & photos

by Dave Barry A £7,800 lottery grant will help propel Scarborough Mates towards their goal of securing their own premises.

The group meets in a church hall but has to shift its tools and other equipment in and out of a storage room before and after each session.

“It takes about 15 minutes and it eats into the time”, explains treasurer Charles Airlie, adding that the hall is shared with pilates, zumba and ceramics groups.

In an ideal world, the club would have a permanent home for its exclusive use, to further develop its facilities and training programme.

This year, the club hopes to become a charitable incorporated organisation with foundation status. It recently obtained funding for a storage unit from the county council and for equipment from the Asda Foundation, which has strong links with the international Men in Sheds movement, which started in Australia.

At some point, the club may wish to change its name, as Mates stands for Men and tools enjoy sheds. This is misleading as the club is open to and would welcome women members; it has one already. Although there are no age limits, most members are retired, with time to kill and DIY ideas to turn into reality.

The subscription, £13 a month, pays for the rent, heating, insurance, hot drinks, biscuits, etc. What’s left is spent on the tools members use to make things, usually in wood or metal.

To save money, members make the club’s workbenches. The

club wants a special table for use by wheelchair users such as disabled member Chris Cammish.

“We have retired electricians, builders, engineers and social workers”, says Charles. Some have skills and hobbies to share, some don’t, he adds. “It’s a mix of people who can and can’t. We discuss ideas and some come just for the social side, a bit of chat”, Charles says.

One of the club’s chief aims is to combat isolation and promote mental health, providing social, physical and mental benefits.

Non-members take items such as furniture to the group to be repaired or renovated, in return for a donation. Members make all sorts, from garden furniture to wooden and ceramic toys.

Charles is pictured with Des Macauley and workshop manager Malcolm Maloney, operating a lathe to make a candle holder out of a piece of mahogany. The club has just bought a new, state-of-the-art lathe.

John Adams was an engineer at Atlas Ward steel fabricators, as it was then called, in Sherburn.

He later spent 12 years as a maintenance man at the Mecca bingo hall in Scarborough.

The club meets in the undercroft of St James’s Church, at the junction of Valley Road and Seamer Road, from 9.30am to 12.30pm Mondays and 10am to 2pm Thursdays. The heated room gets even warmer when sun floods through the southfacing window.

New training centre completes Tec’s £9m investment Words & photos

by Dave Barry A HIGH-TECH construction and engineering training centre has opened at Scarborough Tec in Filey Road.

The new one-storey building includes electrical, engineering, fabrication, welding, plumbing, brickwork and joinery workshops and classrooms, with changing rooms.

About 50 tons of heavy machinery, some of which was taken from the Tec’s former site in Lady Edith’s Drive, is being used by students.

The centre has been part-funded with a £3,345,000 Skills Capital grant from the Government’s Local Growth Fund secured through the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).

All together, £9m has been spent on the Tec since its relocation from two former sites; the other one was in Westwood.

Simon Gummerson, head of construction and engineering, said: “The new centre will be

used by students and apprentices who are studying for a wide variety of careers including motor vehicle, bricklaying, plumbing, electrical installation, mechanical and electrical engineering, construction, carpentry and joinery.

“The workshops and equipment are going to give them a competitive edge when it comes to applying for jobs in industry”.

Principal Ann Hardy added: “Our vision for Scarborough Tec to be a leading education and training provider in our region saw us

relocate the majority of our services from the Lady Edith’s Drive and Westwood campuses in September 2017. This is the exciting next step in our journey.

“It has always been our aim to consolidate all our provision onto one site. This means all our courses will now be delivered from one, centrally-located campus. I would like to thank everyone who has been part of this venture and especially the LEP. Without their support this would never have been possible”.

BESIDES providing traditional terpsichorean entertainment, Scarborough’s Yorkshire Coast Morris dancers raise money for worthy causes.

Wearing their familiar blue and white tunics, and brandishing sticks and handkerchiefs, they dance outdoors, mainly through the summer months.

The team’s season starts in May as the days lengthen and warm up. Members usually perform at pubs or on the seafront on Thursday evenings, choosing a different venue each week. And they dance at local fairs such as Scalby Fair.

They invite other sides to Scarborough for a weekend of dance in June, dancing in both bays and at the castle. This year it will be on 22 and 23 June.

The squad’s squire, Julia

Thompson, says: “The weekend is our biggest money-raising opportunity.

“We dance out in the colder months for certain events such as the annual Victorian weekend in Robin Hoods Bay”, Julia says.

“We collect money for local charities and at Christmas we vote which ones we will help”.

Last year, the dancers collected

£400 which was shared evenly between Scarborough RNLI's Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund and the Rainbow Centre.

Cheques were presented at the Sea Cadets Hall in East Sandgate, where the dancers practise.

The fund was represented by Donna and Simon Loveland and the Rainbow Centre by Trish Kinsella.

Chapel’s half-century service attended by founder members Words & photos

by Dave Barry SEVERAL founder members attended a popular Scarborough chapel’s 50th anniversary service.

The Holy Apostles Chapel at St Mary’s Parish House in Castle Road opened in February 1969.

The inaugural service was attended by the Archbishop of York, Rev Dr Donald Coggan, ministers from nearby Catholic and Methodist churches and members of St Mary’s Church and churches which had been closed through falling congregations and deteriorating buildings.

Half a century later, 10 of those present attended the 50th anniversary service: Joan Ward, Rev Pam Jennings, Christine Rhodes, Kath Harness, Phyllis Ackling, Noreen Dennis, Kate Close, Jean Warren and Rosie Jackson.

Rosie’s father, Canon John Keys-Fraser, conducted the initial service and was instrumental in establishing the chapel. It is an extension

of St Mary’s Parish House, which in 1969 was as busy as it is today. It was used for physical education lessons by the nearby St Peter’s School (now a business centre). It has

a stage for performances and cinema facilities and is now the home of Scarborough Film Society. The building is home to the Rainbow Centre, which began more than 20 years ago

Transport charity’s appeal and lottery win means more minibuses Words & photos

by Dave Barry A Scarborough charity has won the lottery - in a way.

Dial A Ride been awarded £10,000 from the Postcode Community Trust (PCT), a grant-giving charity funded by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The charity, which supports older people and people with disabilities, will put the windfall towards the cost of a new, wheelchair-accessible Renault Master minibus.

Manager Julie Banks said: “It means a lot to everyone here that we were judged worthy recipients of funding from the PCT. “The grant recognises the fantastic work of all our drivers and passenger escorts, 90% of whom are volunteers, and the positive difference they make to passengers’ lives. Last year, we undertook nearly 33,000 passenger journeys in and around the Scarborough and Filey area”.

Julie said the new minibus would help Dial A Ride increase

the number of people it is able to assist and extend the area covered.

The PCT news comes hot on the heels of an appeal to raise £62,000 to buy a wheelchair accessible minibus.

Dial a Ride has raised the money from national and local charitable groups and trusts, alongside its own fundraising activities.

The new 16-seater Mercedes Sprinter minibus has low fold-out side steps with hi-vis grab rails to make it easier for passengers to board and alight independently. A rear tail lift safely accommodates passengers requiring wheelchair access and those who find steps difficult to manage.

The new vehicle has been called Jimbo after one of the charity’s longest serving volunteers. Jim Beaumont has been a Dial a Ride driver for 15 years.

Dial A Ride provides transport to some of the most vulnerable members of the community.

It is essential in reducing loneliness and social isolation while at the same time helping to keep people independent and healthy.

The charity provides fully accessible, safe, reliable and affordable door-to-door transport in and around the Scarborough and Filey areas for anyone aged 60+ or people of any age with a disability, using a fleet of wheelchair accessible minibuses. An accessible car is available for journeys further afield and is mainly used to take passengers to hospital appointments in Bridlington, York, Hull, Middlesbrough and further afield.

Dial A Ride can be used for journeys to health appointments, to respite and day care, to visit friends and relatives, to go shopping or for any other reason.

To find out more, ring 354434 or visit www. scarboroughdialaride.org.

The 20th anniversary service in 1989

under the ministry of the vicar, Rev Bob Jackson.

The churches which were closed, with their dwindling

congregations redirected to Holy Apostles, were St Paul’s, a small mission church on land now occupied by flats opposite

the fire station in North Marine Road; and St Thomas’s in East Sandgate, now home of the sea cadets, and where the town’s morris dancers practise. The chapel name was inspired by the names of the two closed churches.

Holy Apostles regular and Review columnist Joe Coates says: “Understandably, there was much sadness and anger for the members of those churches. It was not an easy ride for Canon Keys-Fraser.

“Fifty years on, the chapel has become a regular and loved place of worship.

The Wednesday 10.30am communion service is well attended and valued, as are the morning prayer meetings, the family fun church afternoons and the Christmas day service.

The regular Sunday 10am service became so popular years ago that, during the ministry of Rev Ted Crofton and curate Paul Kenchington, it moved from the chapel into the larger hall, where worship still continues each Sunday at 10am”.

Advocacy café looks at the main issues facing Filey residents Words & photos

by Dave Barry GP services, parking, computer access and public transport are among the main issues facing Filey residents.

This emerged at an event organised and hosted by Advocacy Alliance at the Methodist church hall in Station Avenue, Filey.

The charity’s chief executive, Helen Beevers, said the Advocacy Café was attended by around 20 people, who were treated to a free hot drink and a slice of cake.

“We were able to tell them about the services Advocacy Alliance offers and ways they can get involved by helping us provide free, independent and confidential advocacy support to people living in their local community”.

It was the first of five Advocacy Cafés funded by Tesco’s Bags for Help scheme. The others will be on 11 April, 13 June, 12 September and 14 November, from 10am to noon.

Founded in 1991, Advocacy Alliance is a small independent charity that believes in respect, equality and choice. Its motto is ‘You speak, I listen, together

we do.’

Helen says: “We are based in Scarborough which is the most deprived district in North Yorkshire. Some areas of the borough are within the most deprived 1% in England.

“Our aims are to ensure that people are heard, understood and their choices respected; to provide an independent voice for people; to see people being treated fairly; and to see a society and services that respect individuals.

“The people who use our services are often the most vulnerable in society”, Helen adds. “They are the people who do not have a voice in the

system. They are people who are older or have a learning disability, mental-health issue, sensory impairment or another vulnerability”.

The charity receives funding from the county council, the big lottery and the police and crime commissioner’s community fund. The latter ends on 31 March. "We are looking for £15,000 to be able to continue offering the training in 2019 to 2020”, Helen says.

Advocacy Alliance is based at the Street, off Dean Road, in Scarborough.

Ingenuity required Landlords fined for failing to comply at technology with new scheme tournament Words & photos

by Dave Barry SIXTY young people were challenged to design a flashing beacon, in Scarborough Rotary’s 11th annual technology tournament.

Linked to an electrical circuit, the beacon had to be mounted on a tower, requiring a certain amount of ingenuity.

The 15 teams of four came from St Augustine’s, Graham School, the UTC, Scarborough Tec and Derwent Training Association.

They were divided into three groups. The foundation group was won by St Augustine’s.

UTC teams triumphed at the intermediate and advanced levels, and also took the Paul Curry trophy, presented by Liz Curry.

The borough mayor, Cllr Joe Plant, presented the other prizes, accompanied by his cadet, Mally Leybourn.

“It was a great success considering that three weeks before we only had two teams registered”, said Ian Holland, president of the Rotary Club of Scarborough, which organised the tournament with support from Scarborough Cavaliers and the Rotary Club of Beverley.

The event, at the Rugby Club, was partly sponsored by Rob

Gretton of North Sea Winches and MKM.

LANDLORDS in Scarborough and Hunmanby have been prosecuted for failing to comply with a selective licensing scheme.

Three property owners have been found guilty of failing to apply for a license to rent out their property.

James Garland of Howard Street, Scarborough, was fined £92 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30 and costs of £150.

George and Anita Westwood of Stepney Drive, Scarborough, were each fined £120 with a £30 surcharge.

David Pindar of Hungate, Hunmanby, was fined £250

and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30 and costs of £150.

Selective licensing was introduced to parts of the Castle and North Bay wards in July to uplift standards within the private rented sector. Landlords who rent out properties in the designated area have to apply for a license from the council. All properties are inspected as part of the application process and landlords are required to meet certain standards in the way they operate. This includes safety checks and having appropriate management arrangements in place. By

January, over 520 properties had been licensed.

In November, the council designed an additional area, which will come into force in June. It includes other parts of the Castle and North Bay wards as well as part of Central ward.

Scarborough Council’s cabinet member for housing and public health, Cllr Bill Chatt, said: “It is not acceptable that some landlords choose to ignore the requirement to hold a license to operate within the selective licensing area. It is unfair on the vast majority of landlords who apply in a timely manner. We will not hesitate to prosecute landlords who fail to apply.”

Love Your Lifeboat event raises £1,022 BRIGHT sunshine and mild weather helped draw hundreds of visitors to Scarborough RNLI’s Love Your Lifeboat day.

The occasion, with a Valentine theme, proved a huge hit with everyone, young and old. It raised £1,022, compared with £630 last year (62% more).

The lifeboathouse was full of people right from the start.

Lifeboat personnel gave conducted tours inside and outside both lifeboats and throughout the lifeboat station. *Richard Pearson of Radio Scarborough has donated a big bagful of goodies to Scarborough RNLI. “Traders kindly donated them at the

Spring Fair at the NEC in Birmingham,” says Richard, adding that most fair participants were keen to support the charity’s work.

The photo shows Richard’s colleague at the radio station, Stephen Brailsford, whose Retail Therapy consumer programme highlights good deals in the community every Thursday. *The RNLI’s primary work continued when the inshore lifeboat was launched to help the coastguards and police with a search for a missing person. On a flat calm sea, the lifeboat conducted a shoreline search between the end of the

east pier and Jacksons Bay, which is just north of Scalby Mills. The lifeboat was stood down when the missing person was found elsewhere. *Scarborough RNLI’s next fundraiser will be a model-boat exhibition on 27 April, from 11am-4pm. It will feature over 40 boats including lifeboats that are being brought by enthusiasts from various parts of the country with, hopefully, a demonstration pool. £1 entrance fee.

Curious Roots

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

BY SHEILA JOHNSON

MARCH is the month of possibilities in the garden and “growing and sowing” is high on the list of jobs to be getting on with. Some warmer days in late February have brought the spring bulbs on nicely.

Snowdrops are in full flower and the ideal time to lift, divide and replant them is as soon as the flowers begin to fade. Don’t cut any of the green leaves off. Just replant your smaller clumps of bulbs and allow the greenery to die down naturally. Crocus are just starting to show colour.

If the weather stays fair they should have a good season, but don’t mow the leaves off for about six weeks after they have finished flowering to allow all the goodness to find its way back into the corm as energy for next year’s flowers.

Summer flowering bulbs can be planted in the next few weeks and include lilies, gladioli and alliums. We will all be hoping for a bumper summer again this year and, if that happens, bees will be busy buzzing about the alliums, which are a great plant for attracting pollinators. Bulbs can be planted into the borders or into pots of gritty, well-drained compost. For a damp soil, or

by the edge of a pond, arum lilies are very popular now and come in a range of exotic colours designed to bring a touch of the tropics to your garden.

These can also be grown in pots – but stand the pot in a saucer of water to keep the compost consistently moist. Still on a tropical and exotic theme, Agapanthus are a popular bulb to grow in a patio pot. Once again, make sure your compost is gritty for good drainage, but be prepared to water as the season warms up!

The main secret for success with many bulbs, including agapanthus, is not to over pot them. Keep them in a pot just big enough to be comfortable, but not too big or you will get lots of leaf growth and very little or no flower. Alstroemerias or Peruvian lilies, although not strictly a bulb, are very hardy and relatively easy to grow, giving lots of brightly coloured flowers throughout the summer. They also make a really good cut flower to bring into the house for arranging.

If you want something a little shorter in the stem why not try the Alstroemeria Princess series. They will flower

abundantly as will the day lilies (Hemerocallis). They are what old gardeners would call ‘a good doer’.

In the veg garden, or in your containers, shallots and onion sets can be planted and seed potatoes can be ‘chitted’ (sprouted) in old egg boxes ready for planting, traditionally on Good Friday. Dahlias will be starting to wake up this month, and as soon as the shoots are about 3-4” long you can take some cuttings to increase your stock. Hardy annuals such as antirrhinums (snapdragons), cosmos and sunflowers are best sown now. Once the seedlings are potted up and growing on they can be stood outside and grown cold, freeing up precious space in the greenhouse for tender plants such as lobelia and petunia.

This is certainly the time of the year when gardeners everywhere are wishing for that elusive greenhouse with expanding sides!

The next meeting of Muck and Magic Garden Club will be held on Monday 11th March when Plant Lady Sarah Hopps will be entertaining us. The meeting starts at 7pm at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine, Scarborough. More details from Sheila on 07961 966617 or from muckandmagic@hotmail. com.

Happy Gardening!

ScarboroughStrata

BY ROGER OSBORNE

WHICHEVER way you look at it the human relationship with Earth is getting seriously out of kilter. A single species is having such an effect on the environment that scientists believe we’ve entered a new geological period – the Anthropocene. What does this mean?

The geological timescale is divided into periods according to the nature of the rocks and fossils, and the rocks and fossils are products of their environment. So the earth changes, temperatures go up and down, sea levels rise and fall. We can trace these changes in the rocks of the Yorkshire coast by the alteration from deep sea shales to beach sandstones to shallow sea reefs, and from ammonites to plants to corals.

Conditions on Earth are changing rapidly now because of human activity, but change has happened before and

life goes on. So, what’s the problem? The answer lies in the fossil changes that occur at each geological boundary.

This sounds innocuous, but it means that certain species – and sometimes whole groups of organisms – are wiped out.

This has happened at least five times in Earth’s history on a massive scale, and scientists believe we’re now in the middle of the sixth great extinction.

In the past, these extinctions have been caused by tectonic events such as vast volcanic eruptions. We know this because the extinctions in the fossil record coincide with the volcanic rock formations in central India and Siberia that cover thousands of square miles. Others, including the extinction of the dinosaurs, were caused by asteroids striking Earth. All these natural events caused massive changes in the atmosphere and oceans: dense clouds of ash lasting for

decades, cutting out the heat from the sun and changing the chemistry of the seas.

Our current mass extinction has the same causes – sudden change in global temperature, poisoning of seas and rivers, destruction of habitat – but this time these are all caused by us.

Optimists believe we can stop things getting worse, or even reverse some of the damage.

Others believe we’ve already decisively altered the planet and started the Anthropocene.

Here’s a sobering thought: dinosaurs were the dominant animal group on Earth for well over 100m years; hominids have been around for less than 8m years, and Homo sapiens for less than half a million.

In the year 1800 the human population was 1 billion – today it’s nearly 8 billion. The rate of increase is unsustainable; something has to give and it may well be us.

It used to be said of March that it’s the month when winter packs its bags. Yet, confounding all expectations, February surprised us with its benign weather. Buds burst and March flowers bloomed as spring arrived on warm southerly winds.

In early spring, when the new moon rides high, the old moon appears in the young moon’s arms. This happens when the part of the moon that’s in earth’s shadow is illuminated by ghostly earthlight. Look for the new moon on March 6, and on the nights following, to see the shining crescent cradling the old moon.

According to an old saying, spring is here when you can put your foot on seven daisies.

But who’d want to squash those cheery heralds of better days? In March the sun climbs higher, warming the soil, and plants are ready to go. All those gardening jobs we’ve been putting off suddenly become emergencies.

However, beware spring fever.

March is the month of many weathers — rain, hail, even snow —so it’s too soon for tender young plants. And don’t dig out all the daisies, or spring will never come to you.

While weeding you may come across a toad, on his journey to the breeding pond where he grew up. If he decided to stay he’d be a welcome guest, dozing during the day and searching for insects, slugs and worms at night.

In the past we weren’t too kind to toads. Folk medicine believed them to be a cureall, effective even against plague. Men known as “toaddoctors” toured country fairs selling toad’s legs in little cloth bags, as an amulet to prevent illness. Then there was the mysterious toadstone found, it was said, in the head of a very

old toad. When brought near a poisoned drink or a bewitched person, the stone would give warning by changing colour.

Although toadstones were much prized and often became family heirlooms, in reality the magic stones were created artificially.

Today our common toad and common frog are far from common. The odds are against them, with habitat loss compounded by a fatal disease. So if you have the room consider a garden pond, it doesn’t have to be large.

There’s plenty of advice online: just google “wildlife pond.”

Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent, falls on March 5. Folklore says it gives a snapshot of Lent’s weather, and we’ll see the same amount of sunshine every day until Easter.

Commemorating Christ’s 40 days in the wilderness, Lent used to be a solemn time of selfdenial. The period of fasting was known as a carne vale, literally “a farewell to flesh.”

Some Catholic countries still have their Carnival, the days of wild abandon before Lent begins.

Here people went to church to be “shriven,” confess their sins. Then the rest of Shrove Tuesday was spent doing all the things that would soon be banned. There was food to eat up — bacon, eggs, collops of meat, cakes, waffles, and pancakes — and every kind of pastime to join in from marbles to football.

In Victorian Scarborough they played football and other games on the beach, earning Shrove Tuesday the name, Ball Day. Today it’s known as Skipping Day. While other towns have pancake races, skipping on Shrove Tuesday is a unique Scarborough tradition that’s

well over a century old. It used to be mostly long-rope skipping, several people jumping thick, heavy ropes that took two adults to turn.

This probably began among the fishing community where long ropes were essential for hauling sails, nets and pots.

As for running while tossing a pancake, there are no records before 1945, when the vicar of Olney, in Buckinghamshire, “revived” the custom. But his pancake races proved a success, and in the 1960s they spread nationwide.

Flipping pancakes and failing to catch them is a genuinely old custom, dating back to the early 1600s. The signal to start frying was the ringing of a church bell, and Pancake Bells are still heard in a few places, including Scarborough. Let’s hope those sea-front skippers and pancake racers enjoy a fine, windless day.

The spring equinox is on March 20, when daylight and darkness are of more or less equal length. In old lore it’s a day for wind prediction, giving the prevailing direction for the next three months.

And although nobody knows why, this is a good time to see fireballs.

Night sky watchers sometimes glimpse one as a streak of light, burning up as it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Unlike meteor showers that are predictable, fireballs are random. And oddly, these bits of rock debris, some as tiny as a grain of sand, are more numerous in the weeks before and after the equinoxes.

On March 29 — er, let’s think of something less fraught — on March 31 the clocks will go forward one hour, making the evenings lighter. However chaotic the world may appear, spring remains our time of hope.

The Ship of Fools

TURMOIL grips the country. The failure of the ruling classes and intelligentsia to tackle the issues of the day leads to widespread dissent. But this isn’t Brexit, it's Britain in the late Middle Ages.

Out of the turmoil, the Fool sprang up seemingly out of nowhere. Not a real person but a role, a character that pronounced himself as chief mourner of society and king critic of the ruling classes and their great pretensions. The Black Death had wiped out two thirds of the European population. The social upheaval that resulted made hope and aspiration appear pointless in the wake of it all.

The Fool’s timing was impeccable, arriving on the stages of Europe right on the cusp of society becoming self-conscious enough to look at itself. What it saw was not a pretty sight.

What the religious and humanist philosophers struggled to provide explanations for, the Fool, with his perspective as an outsider, flourished in popularity as he held up a mirror to the hubris and vanity of the aristocracy. The Fool sided with the general population who struggled to overcome the decimation caused by the Black Death.

Unlike the critics of the day, the Fool could say whatever he pleased, as he was just a fool.

Writers soon learned that by including the Fool in their work they could level slurry at any target as long as it came from the mouth of the Fool. The popular themes and characters of the Fool’s fables and plays are still with us today, many re-enacted in mumming plays and Morris dances.

Fool’s parades became widespread.

They were expressions of biting satire and cathartic foolishness.

The book The Ship of Fools, a satirical allegory inspired by the great Fool’s parades of Europe, was published at the end of the 15th century. It is based on the idea of the arc of salvation, which sets

off for paradise but with a shortsighted and deaf captain and a quarrelsome crew who constantly bicker about who has the right to steer, though no-one has learned the art of navigation. The book illustrates how madness and folly are important in fables. In such tales, the Fool speaks the truth, as folly is at the heart of reason and false knowledge with selfishness at its heart is absurd.

The Ship of Fools was a literary device which documents these structures, providing a valuable insight into the mindset of European society in the late Middle Ages. Towns started to deal with madness in the same way as they had dealt with lepers, by excluding and then enclosing them.

Remnants of these cultural structures can be found in Scarborough.

Germany’s preEaster celebration of Fastnacht or Fastnet, known as talk-nonsense night, ends with a famous fool’s carnival on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. This mischief night was also observed in Britain on Shrove Tuesday. It was traditionally brought to a strict stop by the toll of a curfew bell.

A bell used on this day for such a purpose was known as a shriving bell.

In Scarborough, the pancake bell was the shriving bell. It was used to sound the start and end of Shrove Tuesday, the foolish merry making and the Pancake baking. Originally the bell was from the entrance of the hospital building of the church of St Thomas the Martyr, the great chapel that stood by the Newborough gate near where a replica of pancake bell is still rung on Shrove Tuesday.

Built in the 12th century, St Thomas’s had a tall tower and spire. In its grounds were the poor house and hospital. With lands in Burton-Dale to fund its charitable, the chapel stood on the site of the former men’s clothing shop Burtons, now selling bedding.

Toll bells have been heard in this place for nearly a thousand years.

According to the antiquarian Thomas Hinderwell, writing in 1795, St Thomas’s “preserved the ancient custom of ringing a bell at six o’clock every morning and evening”. Masonry stones from St Thomas’s can be found inside St Mary’s Church as some parts of the octagonal pillars of this great chapel were used to repair St Mary’s after the civil war. Another remnant of the Middle Ages and built at the same time as St Thomas’s was St Nicholas Church, a hospital for lepers. It was built on the edge of town, just outside the town walls in the area now known as St Nicholas Cliff. None of it is visible today. * Look out for Dav’s Ship of Fools artwork at an exhibition in April at Gallery 6 on Victoria Road (previously known as Bookshelf).

Flamingo Land Salt gives plan is one £49,301 to of the worst good causes proposals for decades DEAR EDITOR Having recently seen the early plans for the Flamingo Land development on the Futurist site, it has to be said that far from being the “exciting” scheme envisaged by the Council, it is one of the worst proposals the planning department will have seen in decades.

The people of Scarborough have been so distracted by fighting the loss of the dilapidated theatre that they haven’t spotted this horror creeping up quietly. As always, because the council has invested so much support in the Flamingo Land company in recent years, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that it is now a fait accompli and the current consultation is meaningless.

Too often, we in Scarborough are so desperate for new development or “good news” that we can accept the first developer that comes along and give them the red carpet treatment. Developers take advantage of this weakness. Over the years, decision makers in the town have made many mistakes that way. We deserve better.

The Flamingo Land scheme takes Scarborough back to the kiss-me-quick amusement and tacky fairground culture of the 1950s. It is a scheme which would not be out of place in 1960s Blackpool or Skegness. As if the eyesore of the Olympia building hasn’t done enough damage.

Rollercoasters and a 60m tower-ride have no place right in the middle of England’s most attractive resort and will ruin the much-loved panorama of the castle, Grand Hotel, Spa, harbour and beach. Much of the area is a conservation area with historic buildings and I’m sure Historic England will be appalled.

Do we really want to take our town backwards and downmarket? Have we not learned from the success of other towns who have moved on to higher quality tourism? The Turner Gallery has brought visitors to down-at-heel Margate.

During the Renaissance process of 15 years ago, both council, tourism and business people agreed that the town needed a different, higher quality image.

All of that seems to have been forgotten in the rush to bring in income and sell off sites at any price.

Please object to the plans. It’s overdevelopment.

Rides are not acceptable here. A good quality new building is what we need.

Gordon Somerville and Chris Hall Scarborough

NEWS IN BRIEF Landslips near Ravenscar caused a minor road to be closed. Urgent repair work was carried out at a single-track lane at Stoupe Brow, close to the clifftop north-west of Ravenscar. The first landslip caused a crack across the road which was dug out. Gabion baskets containing stones were installed over a 40-metre length to make it more stable before the road was resurfaced.

Osgodby Community Association is organising a table-top sale at the community centre at the top of Osgodby Lane on Sunday 24 March, from 11am-1pm. All tables are free and can be used to sell anything, says secretary Shirley Holdsworth.

Shoebox appeal ‘helps millions of children’ GENEROUS givers across Scarborough helped millions of children receive a present at Christmas.

Operation Christmas Child (OCC) says 10,623,776 shoeboxes were handed out during the festive period to kids around the world affected by war, famine, disease or poverty.

Of that total, the UK sent 511,200, including 5,024 from Scarborough.

Local coordinator Graham Hobson said: “We’re absolutely delighted at the continued giving of the people in the UK, the region, Scarborough and the east coast, because each time people give a box it puts a smile on a child’s face.

“Having so many people giving and sharing love with so many children around the world is

absolutely mind-boggling”.

National organiser Jacqui Hance added: “Half a million children, who have possibly never had a present before, received a gift at Christmas from the people of this country – it’s a real expression of God’s love for them”.

The shoeboxes from the UK were delivered to 11 countries across eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Scarborough volunteers sent their boxes in two consignments which left a storage facility in Eastfield in November.

OCC is the operational arm of Samaritan’s Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian aid organisation which provides aid to people in physical need as a key part of Christian missionary work.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

21

By Joe Coates

A friend of mine recently sent a video round Facebook from the 60s of Norman Wisdom, a very funny man. He was creating much laughter in the Spa Sun Court trying to put up a deckchair. Maybe he was performing at the Futurist that week, as many of the country’s top entertainers did: Ken Dodd, Billy Connolly, the Chuckle Brothers, Cannon and Ball, and many many more, including The Beatles, twice!

NORMAN WISDOM, AT THE SUN COURT, WITH A DECKCHAIR

TIME was ticking slowly. The weather was warmer, though still winter. Grandpa was yearning for Spring to arrive.

He needed plenty to do. In particular he was missing the morning concerts at the Spa Sun Court, given by the Scarborough Spa Orchestra.

Grandpa went as often as he could during the four month summer season, but there were no regular concerts in the winter, just the New Year’s Day Special. The Scarborough Spa Orchestra is the last remaining

seaside orchestra. Its music began in 1912.

Freddie had called in after school, and was trying to cheer him up. “You took me to an orchestra concert last year.

It was great. How did that lady whistle with fingers in her mouth?” Grandpa smiled.

“Kathy Seabrook! Brilliant musician! That was a happy memory.”

Freddie said, “Tell me that story again about the funny man in the Sun Court, the man with the deck chair.”

Grandpa beamed. “Okay! Are you sitting comfortably?”

Freddie nodded and beamed back, knowing Grandpa would say, “then I’ll begin!” He did say that! And the story began.

“There was an afternoon concert at the Sun Court. I was there! It seems a very long time ago. It is a very long time ago!

I was about your age Freddie.

The orchestra were not playing.

Entertainment was provided by a pop group, with their guitars and smart clothes and longer hair and sweet voices.

You would call them a band nowadays.

They were good. It was hot in the Sun Court and perfect for reclining in a deck chair, listening to music, with the sea as your backdrop.

The group started to sing, “Don’t laugh at me ‘cause I’m a fool.” That was the signature song for the comedian Norman Wisdom. A man walked in, carrying a deckchair. A camera was filming him. It was Norman Wisdom! A very funny man!

Norman Wisdom went to the front and started to put up the deck chair so he could sit on it.

Putting up the deckchair was chaotic, and noisy. He carried the deckchair over his head, nearly dropping it on a dog.

And the people laughed!

The group played on, though deckchair man was now the focus of attention. He trapped his fingers in the flat deckchair, yelling “Ow!” He got the deckchair assembled, but when he sat on it, it fell flat.

How the audience laughed, shrieking aloud! Some of the audience couldn’t concentrate

on their knitting, they were laughing so much. The group played on, though this was clearly Norman Wisdom’s show for now.

Somehow he got himself trapped in the flat deckchair and fell over. And the people laughed! The dog barked. The group kept playing.

Norman looked harassed and puzzled. How could he get this deckchair properly set up? He walked up to the deckchair, which seemed to be half assembled. He kicked the deckchair, which then flipped up and seemed to assemble itself! The crowd roared with laughter. The group played on. Just before deckchair man could sit down, the dog sat on the deckchair and everyone kept laughing, including Norman Wisdom. He laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. And so did I Freddie!

I don’t think I’ve seen anything funnier. Happy days! Happy memories!”

Freddie went home for his tea, leaving a much happier Grandpa to enjoy the rest of his day. © Joe Coates 2019 www.northbaytales.com I have a little dread about assembling a deckchair. In my younger days I was in several amateur dramatic shows in Hornsea. In “Anything Goes” I was required to take a deckchair on stage and assemble it on one side of the stage, as it was soon needed as a prop. Meanwhile a soloist sang a lovely song at the other side of the stage, so I had to be super efficient. No Norman Wisdom antics! Tense! Drama!

Maybe another Scarborough Tale in the future!

Society shows French and Japanese dramas A scene from Shoplifters

A FRENCH biographical comedy-drama about a revered filmmaker’s affair with an actress half his age is Scarborough Film Society’s next offering.

Jean-Luc Godard and Anne Wiazemsky met in the late-1960s, married in 1967 and divorced in 1979.

Redoubtable, set in the days of the Paris riots, is sharply irreverent, written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius (4 Mar, 15, 108

mins, 2017).

A fortnight later, the society will show Shoplifters, a Japanese drama directed, written and edited by Hirokazu Kore-eda, inspired by reports on poverty and shoplifting in Japan.

It’s about a family that relies on shoplifting to cope with a life of poverty. After a thieving session, a man and his son find a little girl in the freezing cold. The man’s wife reluctantly agrees to take care of

her, until an unforeseen incident reveals hidden secrets (18 Mar, 15, 121 mins, 2018).

The season concludes with The Mercy (1 Apr) and Happy End (15 Apr).

Tickets cost £5 per film. They are shown at St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road on Monday evenings. They start at 7.30pm. n For details, ring Guy Smith on 07748 280871 or email guysmith@tiscali. co.uk.

Woodend dishes up Mississippi mud pie, cocktails and gigs

Eric Brace, Peter Cooper and Thomm Jutz

MISSISSIPPI mud pie and cocktails will be served at Woodend in Scarborough on 9 March.

It’s in honour of a gig by three Nashville singer-songwriters who will be showcasing songs from their new album Riverland, inspired by the river, the state and the people.

Eric Brace, Peter Cooper and Thomm Jutz have long and distinguished pedigrees, says promoter Chris Lee. Eric Brace was arts correspondent for the Washington Post before strapping on a guitar and fronting acclaimed rootsrockers, Last Train Home.

He joined forces with another ex-hack, Peter Cooper,

regularly seen as a talking head on the BBC for his encyclopaedic knowledge of country music.

They got a Grammy nomination for a Tom T Hall tribute album and specialise in melodic, narrative driven songs with great harmonies.

They will be joined at Woodend

by Thomm Jutz, originally from the Black Forest in Germany and now one of Nashville’s most respected producers and guitarists.

The deep-south food and drink will be served by Yay, who run the cafe at Woodend.

The venue’s next gig, by the Brother Brothers, is on 23 March. The Brooklyn twins gave “a terrific show” at

The Brother Brothers

Woodend last year, according to Chris.

They learned to sing harmonies while listening to their father's record collection, which contained the Kingston Trio, the Everly Brothers, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, etc.

The influences are apparent on their new record, Some People I Know. “Simon and Garfunkel spring to mind too, and there's a gorgeous, intimate simplicity about the brothers' sound, with a distinct living-room vibe for which their shows are noted”, Chris says.

17 Mar: a 12-mile walk starting at the old A64 lay-by at Knapton (SE875754) at 9am.

23 Mar: a 16-mile walk starting at Birch Hall scout camp site (SE926925) at 9am.

The LDWA welcomes new members who can try a couple of walks first before joining.

Ring 368932.

Scarborough Rambling Club 3 Mar: a 10-mile walk at Whisperdales and a seven-mile walk at Allerston.

BESTSELLING authors, broadcasters, biographers, historians, scientists and one of the nation’s favourite globetrotters visit Scarborough for Books by the Beach, from 11-14 April.

As ever, history plays a strong part in the festival, which will be launched by TV Egyptologist and local resident Professor Joann Fletcher (11 Apr). Jo, advisor to many museums and author of nine books, will explore the beginnings of the written word in ancient Egypt.

n Tickets for both gigs cost £12 and can be booked by ringing 384500.

Walking in the countryside THE following walks have been organised for the coming month.

Yorkshire Coast LongDistance Walkers Association 3 Mar: a 16-mile walk starting at the lay-by opposite Stainsacre industrial estate on the A171 near Whitby at 9am (grid ref NZ907092).

9 Mar: a 13-mile walk starting at the roundabout in Pickering (SE799838).

10 Mar: a 12-mile walk at Ravenscar and a six-mile walk at Potter Brompton.

17 Mar: a 10-mile walk at Huggate and a seven-mile walk at Boggle Hole.

24 Mar: an 11-mile walk at Reasty Bank and a seven-mile walk at Gillamoor.

Long walks: meet in Hanover Road at 9am. Most short ones: meet at Falsgrave Clock at 10.30am.

Jenny Colgan

Festival patron Helen Boaden, former head of BBC radio, will host several events.

They include one with TV scriptwriter Gwyneth Hughes, who will speak about her popular Vanity Fair adaptation, focusing on its cast of colourful characters (13).

Sport comes in the shape of former England cricket captain Mike Brearley, which is a coup for our cricketing town (13).

Joann Fletcher

Legend has it that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, it will crumble to dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. The man responsible for ensuring this disaster never comes to pass, yeoman warder Christopher Skaife, will talk about his book, The Ravenmaster (11).

Mike Brearley

Festival favourite Alan Johnson returns to the festival with his new music memoir, In My Life. Alan, whose life has always had a soundtrack, will transport his audience back to a world of coffee shops and dance halls, with jukeboxes playing lingering love songs and heartbreak ballads (13).

Alan will also appear on the papers panel on the Sunday morning.

Festival director Heather French says: “I can’t wait to meet such an eclectic mix of people. I’m particularly interested to meet Professor Angela Gallop whose contribution to pioneering forensic science has been phenomenal” (14).

“I’ve just finished reading Jim Buttress’s book about his life in horticulture and his time at the royal parks, which made me laugh out loud. As a judge on TV’s The Big Allotment Challenge, he was a big hit” (14).

On 12 April, crime critic Barry Forshaw will host talks with prizewinning crime writer Belinda Bauer and acclaimed biographer Claire Harman; and Lynne Truss, who will introduce her new crime novel A Shot in the Dark.

Most talks will be at the library, although many will be held elsewhere. Professor Kate Williams, a historian and broadcaster, will share gems from her new book, Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary Queen of Scots, in between lunch courses at the Palm Court Hotel (13).

Artist was also a Quaker, pacifist and radical ANDREW CLAY gave a talk about artist Eli Marsden Wilson for the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery.

Marsden Wilson (1877-1965) was known for his etchings when the medium was popular, a century ago.

Andrew, who is chief executive of Scarborough Museums Trust and Woodend Creative, is the artist’s great-great-nephew and inherited many of his belongings.

Marsden Wilson was a Quaker, a pacifist and a radical. He

married a fellow student and social activist in 1905.

As a conscientious objector during WW1, he was imprisoned for two years, which was a disgrace for his family and humiliating for him.

In 1922, Princess Marie Louise commissioned the building of a doll’s house that would represent the best of British art of the period, a present for Queen Mary. She wrote letters to craftsmen, designers, architects, artists and writers asking them to contribute

a piece of work; Marsden Wilson received one. To be chosen to contribute was a huge honour and a boost to his rehabilitation. He created a tiny etching of Margate harbour at low tide.

At the Friends’ next meeting, at the library on 11 March at 2.30pm, Dr Dorothy Nott will talk about official art schemes in the First World War and the artists employed.

Admission costs £3 for members, £4 for visitors.

Christopher Skaife

Dr Jon Copley, scientific advisor to BBC’s Blue Planet series and the first British aquanaut to dive to a depth of five kilometres, will talk about his work (11).

Bestselling novelists Jenny Colgan and Lucy Diamond will chat with host Peter Guttridge as guests savour their free Crofts chocolate hearts (13).

Peter will discuss time and place in fiction with novelists Tessa Hadley and Sadie Jones (11). Sadie will also be a lunch guest at Wykeham Abbey.

Alan Johnson

Another author returning to the festival is world-famous heart surgeon Professor Steve Westaby, whose second memoir The Knife’s Edge, will be published at about the same time (12).

Historian Simon Heffer, a Fleet Street journalist for 30 years, will talk about his latest work, The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914, at a new festival venue, St Martin’s Church (14).

At least two events have already sold out: globetrotter Michael Palin’s talk about his book Erebus, a powerful tale of polar exploration, at the Spa Theatre; and a talk at the lighthouse by building conservationist Tom Nancollas.

PISCES

19TH FEB - 20TH MAR

Most Piscesians are going to feel safe, tucked away in their own little worlds – but a few are going to start feeling tense and claustrophobic, and will inevitably start looking for opportunities to break free from routine and start looking to distant horizons in search of change and adventure. Therefore, March could be described as a safe and stable month for the majority, but a very

exciting time for the minority.

Now, the question is, which one are you? In which camp do you fall? If you can come up with an honest answer, it puts you in the position wherein you can call the shots and make the choices.

I would have thought that as far as romantic aspects are concerned, all members of the sign are on to a bit of a winner at this time.

ARIES 21ST MAR - 19TH APR March promises to be a busy and energetic month. New work routines make you feel more in control, and whether you like it or not, you will have to assume the leadership role. On the home front there may be some patches of frustration and boredom, but the initiative to bounce things up a bit is definitely in your own hands.

Others will be happy to follow your lead.

made. Stick to your guns and maintain faith with your values and principles.

TAURUS 20TH APR - 20TH MAY Quite a bright month for the majority of Taureans. Spring is just around the corner and you should have a bit more energy on tap.

Some new banking arrangements put a little more cash in your kitty, and this is a good time for making careful investments. Partnerships are solid and stable, with some nice romantic tingles for the young and fancy free.

GEMINI 21ST MAY - 20TH JUN You begin to reap the reward for past efforts and will receive evidence to indicate that recently made decisions have been the right ones. The 19th is a particularly auspicious date for receiving important family news, and the latter days of the month should see you planning parties or preparing for an important reunion.

CANCER 21ST JUN - 22ND JUL A much better month than February. You’ll feel much more in control of your own life, but there will be numerous temptations to back-slide and change your mind about recently made decisions.

Try not to do this because it will undo all the gains to have recently

LEO 23RD JUL - 22ND AUG While romantic and emotional relationships seem to flourish, a few friendships may need to be reviewed at this time. You’ve got something that someone else wants, and they’re not at all happy about it! There is a peak of tension around the 17th, 18th and 19th, and this is a time when you should discover just who your tried and trusted friends really are.

VIRGO 23RD AUG - 22ND SEPT On one level this is a busy and profitable month, but there are times when you’re going to find yourself in a dreamy state of mind as you consider other life pathways. You need to spend some time here working out what is a practical possibility and what is just some crazy notion. A key answer to questions asked falls into place on or around the 22nd.

LIBRA 23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT A smoothing of ruffled feathers and a calming of stormy waters creates better relationships with those closest to you, and while you don’t want to rock any boats, you must make a point of holding people to their word and not allowing them to wriggle their way out of recently made commitments. Someone will be trying to do this around the 13th and 14th and again around the 21st and 22nd.

SCORPIO 23RD OCT - 21ST NOV This should be a lovely period for all affairs of the heart, and if it isn’t, you’ve got to ask yourself

If you’re looking to consolidate an existing union, this should not be difficult, providing you’re prepared to follow the “safe” pathway. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for something new, then the “adventurous” pathway is definitely the best pathway to follow. There is one major snag here, insofar as you can’t have both at the same time!

Radio presenter and guest are Poles apart WHEN a radio presenter was looking for a guest to kickstart her new Polish-language programme, she never dreamed she’d end up with one of the world’s most famous Poles.

Ewa Graczyk of Radio Scarborough searched in vain for a suitable representative of her generation.

So she approached Jan Lewandowski, known professionally as Jan Lewan, a Polish-American songwriter, polka-band leader and convicted fraudster.

His financial crimes, described in a US newspaper as a “classic Ponzi scheme”, led to five years in prison.

“He is extremely remorseful about what he did and has vowed to pay back every cent of the money he swindled”, says Richard Pearson of Radio Scarborough.

Lewan's life has been depicted in multiple films, first in the

2007 TV documentary Mystery of the Polka King, the 2009 documentary film The Man Who Would be Polka King and the 2017 American comedy film The Polka King, in which he is portrayed by Jack Black.

Ewa (pronounced Evva) wasn’t exactly confident about persuading Jan to chat, as he gets many interview requests, but he fell for her charm and agreed.

Ewa did two interviews with Jan. The Polish one will be broadcast at 7pm on 7 March.

The English one can be heard at 7pm on 12 March, on www. radioscarborough.com.

Ewa has lived in Scarborough for six years, following in the steps of her mother, who moved to the town a few years before. Ewa, who is expecting her first child later this year, loves the area and sees her new programme as a great opportunity to increase

Jan Lewan

the involvement of the Polish community in its culture.

She also presents a weekly programme in English, where she plays music from around the world.

Sci-fi geekfest tops up its guest rosta why? Ask the question and you will get an answer, and can then start changing things to your own emotional advantage. There are some good travel energies around the 23rd or 24th and this should give you time to re-evaluate some of your priorities.

SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOV - 21ST DEC

Events start falling into place which make you feel much brighter and more confident, and some earlier compromises and sacrifices should start being rewarded.

Lovers and partners work hard to please, and it seems important that you should make some effort to respond in kind. Parents of grown up children should make a point of remembering that they are grown up!

CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 19TH JAN

Some sort of financial review taking place at this time and March is a good month for organising some new banking practices which can ease the monthly outgoings.

These issues might cause some disagreement within partnerships, but we are not talking about arguments or quarrels, only disagreements which will demand some compromise.

AQUARIUS 20TH JAN - 18TH FEB Some of the pressures of life seem to be easing at this time and you are likely to become rather more philosophical in your outlook. You will remember that Rome was not built in a day, but will be pleased to see new foundation stones being laid than can provide greater long term stability and security.

If you feel the need to speak your mind, do so quietly and gently.

CAROLINE Blakiston, Hattie Hayridge and Mark Dexter are the latest guests booked for the Sci-Fi Scarborough geekfest, at the Spa on 6 and 7 April.

Caroline portrayed Mon Mothma in the 1983 Star Wars classic Return of the Jedi.

She has appeared in numerous TV, film and stage productions, notably The Fourth Protocol and more recently Poldark as the indomitable Aunt Agatha.

Event co-organiser Steve Dickinson said: “We have had Caroline on our radar for years and are ecstatic to be bringing such an esteemed actor to Scarborough.

Considering she turned 86 on 13 February and is still actively working in the industry, legendary doesn’t really do her justice”.

Hattie Hayridge, 59, is an Eng-

lish comedian and actress best known for the role of Hilly, the female equivalent of the male computer, Holly (Norman Lovett) in Red Dwarf during the third, fourth and fifth series.

Her career took off in 1988 when she appeared on Friday Night Live, hosted by Ben Elton, and was spotted by Red Dwarf producers.

The same year, Hattie won rave reviews at the Montreal comedy festival and appeared on the Just For Laughs TV show.

She was described as a "cult figure in a beloved sitcom" in the List in 2007.

Mark Dexter, 45, knows Hattie as he played Rimmer's brother Howard in Red Dwarf.

His extensive TV and film credits include two episodes of Doctor

Who (Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead), Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), From Hell (2001), the first episode of Ripper Street (playing the principle villain), The Bletchley Circle, 24 and the Channel 4 film Coalition, for which he received acclaim for his portrayal of prime minister David Cameron. He is in the forthcoming third season of The Crown on Netflix.

Other guests confirmed for the pop-culture event are Chris Rankin, Hugo Myatt, Ross O’Hennessy, Andrew Lee Potts and Willie Coppen.

For tickets, visit www.scifiscarborough.co.uk or www.scarboroughspa.co.uk. Or go to the venue box office. Or, to avoid booking fees, Mojo’s Music Café in Victoria Road.

Skandals gig for scooter weekend SKANDALS will play the Albert on North Marine Road in Scarborough on Easter Saturday, 20 April, during scooter weekend.

The five-piece ska band, who have a new bassist, Paul Armstrong, play high-energy party

ska covers and originals and are writing new material all the time.

They cover favourites from the 2 Tone era by the likes of the Specials, Madness and Bad Manners, as well as original Jamaican ska and third-wave ska-punk.

Drummer John Allsopp says: “One of us has a tattoo by Tim Armstrong of Rancid. If you can guess which of us it is, you win the admiration of your peers”.

Yorkshire Electric

Turas Theatre perform Remnants

Coastival’s glorious arts kaleidoscope notches up a decade Words & Photos

by Dave Barry COASTIVAL burst into double figures with a glorious flourish at the weekend.

Scarborough’s 10th annual arts kaleidoscope began in 2009 and missed last year due to funding problems.

The 2019 event had a new director, Kate Beard, but had been programmed to a large extent by her predecessor Wendy Holroyd, who conceived and launched Coastival.

It’s a giant arty pick-andmix, with all kinds of things happening in many places, although it is centred on the Spa. At St Martin’s Church on the South Cliff, Angela Chalmers channelled the spirit of Victorian benefactor Mary Craven, who paid for the

church and lived at Angela’s Esplanade house. Spiritual Gardening, in the church’s Lady chapel, depicted a small figure at prayer, her dress cyanotyped with a beautiful blue floral pattern.

Equally atmospheric was Viv Mousdell’s updated version of the plastic-pollution installation which blew a few minds at the first Coastival.

That was in the church; this was in the crypt. In Turn the Tide, B&W film of the sea was back-projected onto ripped polythene and half-popped bubblewrap to a soundtrack of whistling wind, like an asthmatic giant wheezing over the waves.

The Old Parcels Office hosted artwork by several artists including Camille Smith, whose Carnival Collective vividly evoked her experiences of panic and anxiety via

three colourful figures. The enormous space featured a few hours of music by choirs on the Sunday.

In the town centre, shoppers were stopped in their tracks by Avanti Display performing Full Circle, a comic piece of street theatre involving dozens of steel buckets.

Coastival regulars Animated Objects Theatre commandeered Aquarium Top roundabout, sealing the corridors to create dark and spooky performance spaces for The Judgment.

Beach Hut Theatre performed Love, When it’s Brass, a lighthearted look at love, money and weddings, at the Stephen Joseph Theatre and The Wild Zone, an interactive piece in which scientists save the planet, in a black gazebo in the Spa’s top room.

Lots of deckchair-shaped

screens were suspended over the Spa Theatre stage for the high-tech Yorkshire Electric.

Old film of Scarborough was shown on the small screens and on a big one at the back, to an upbeat soundtrack by Hope & Social. It was an ingenious collaboration between awardwinning theatre and projection company Imitating the Dog and architectural lighting specialist Phil Supple. The same film was one of several shown in an adjacent room by Yorkshire Film Archive.

Children had plenty to do in the Spa Grand Hall, where a family hub featured arts and crafts including 2D and 3D artwork, flip-book animation and glitch art – manipulating digital images.

In bright sunshine, the Turas Theatre Collective performed Remnants, a powerful, wordless piece about

displacement. That was in the Spa Suncourt, where two Reliant Robins with stained glass windows occupied the stage.

Coastival wouldn’t be Coastival without massive dollops of splendid music, covering a wide spectrum of tastes. The Spa bar, Farrers, hosted Stony, the Hard Times Orchestra, the Mile Roses and Yemi Bolatiwa on Friday; Social Oven, Funky Choir and Dennis Rollins on Saturday; and Restless, SubGents and Page 45 on Sunday.

The Sound of Scarborough, featuring some of the best local bands, was on Friday in the Spa Ocean Room, where DJ and VJ collective Stone Penguin presented Time Machine, a mix of live and DJ music, on Saturday night. The live acts were Barry Gammon and the Midday Incident, Me & My Friends and Smoove & Turrell.

Coastival is produced by Create Arts Development and supported by Arts Council England along with the Foyle Foundation, Coventry Uni, the Spa, Yorkshire Film Archive and Scarborough Council.

Art society begins new season

Late autumn light by Paul Talbot-Greaves

PAUL Talbot-Greaves will talk about achieving light in watercolour when he begins a new season of demonstrations for Scarborough Art Society on 6 March.

Paul has been giving demonstrations for 20 years.

“His energy and feelings convey his need to help others achieve these skills”, says the society’s press officer, Barrie Petterson.

“He is in big demand in the publishing world, with many books to his name. He regularly contributes to art magazines and has gained many awards”.

The highlight of the society’s 82nd year will be an open-

air exhibition and sale in the sunken gardens at the top of St Nicholas Cliff from 10-27 August.

The 80th year was spoiled by vandalism, theft and the destruction of exhibition stands while in storage, so no exhibition was mounted. The society managed to get things together for a show last year, having gained secure storage.

Meetings are held in the lower hall of Queen Street Methodist Church, starting at 7pm.

Refreshments are served.

Guests are welcome and pay £3. New members are welcome.

WHILE March is more commonly known as the beginning of spring, did you know that March is also National Bed Month? That’s right – the Sleep Council officially declare the 1st-31st March as the time that should be dedicated to improving your sleep with a comfortable and supportive bed.

Wrapping up under the covers after a hard day’s work is one of life’s natural pleasures, and so any excuse to indulge in this is surely one worth taking. And the excellent Marcus Anthony Furnishings are ready and on hand to help you with this.

As well as conservatory, living and dining room furniture, Marcus Anthony Furnishings also offer a brilliant selection of bedroom ranges – from bedframes to headboards, mattresses to sofa beds; and accessories such as dressing tables and stools.

This family-run company make sure they fully understand

what their customers need, and the team will always give you the advice you need to make the right choice.

Catherine Wallace, Sales Manager, says: “We take pride in listening to the individual needs of our customers and giving them the best service we can.”

To get your new bed and improve your quality of sleep for National Bed Month, visit www.mafurnishings.co.uk or call 01723 361351 to see how Marcus Anthony Furnishings can help you.

Concert in Seamer

VILLAGE Voices will perform their first concert of the year at Seamer Methodist Church on 30 March, at 7.30pm. Ad-

mission will cost £6 including refreshments. The proceeds will help pay for the church to be redecorated.

Prints exhibition opens at theatre AN EXHIBITION of prints by a Scarborough artist can be seen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre from 11 March to 20 April.

Wendy Tate has worked as a fulltime artist - painting, printmaking and delivering workshops - since she was made redundant from Scarborough School of Art. She works predominantly with images of the town. “I walk the beach almost daily and am constantly struck by its power and majesty but also how it can hold our secrets and reflect our mood”, Wendy says.

“So often, my head is low and eyes lower yet the sun catches my eye, perhaps in a rock pool.

Light found in the strangest of places brings joy and renewed focus; perhaps a different perspective. I try to capture these moments, which are the starting points of my work”.

Wendy and her partner Rob

Moore have paintings in Scarborough Art Gallery’s open exhibition, which runs until 29 April.

Rob is relatively new to the area, having begun to set up studios and printmaking workshops at 4 Alma Square around 18 months ago. He is a professional artist with an impressive track record as an educationalist, lecturer, artist and gallery curator.

Rob and Wendy run printmaking workshops for small groups at Alma Studios.

The creative duo will be showing a few pieces at the Ryedale open exhibition at Hutton le Hole in March and in the Dark Skies show at the Inspire gallery in Danby in March and April. They will have an exhibition of paintings at Inspire in October.

For further details and to book workshops, ring 07950 004166 or visit www.almaprintmaking. com.

Are you in search of artistic expression?

AS THE evenings get lighter, it is time for those searching for artistic expression to check out their options.

They could join a new course for adults from the Scarborough branch of the Workers’ Education Association.

Exploring printmaking techniques, it is an opportunity to get to grips with a variety of printmaking processes, many

of which can be replicated at home without a press.

The course offers a chance to gain hands-on experience and explore a wide range of image-making techniques, including lino cutting, single and multiple colour printing, the reduction technique, covering plate registration, mono-printing and multi-coloured drypoint etching.

Expert guidance will be given by tutor Wendy Tate, who will introduce students to the work and techniques of contemporary printmakers.

The course begins on 8 March, from 7-9pm, at St James’s Community Art Centre, Seamer Road, and runs for six sessions.

Area coordinator Stephen Blockley said: “This is yet another exciting offering in what

continues to be a bumper year of WEA courses in the Scarborough area”.

For more information on this and other courses, go to www.wea.org.uk or ring 0300 3033464. People in receipt of means-tested benefit may be entitled to attend for free. All courses are subject to minimum numbers.

Choir’s annual charity concert at church BILL Scott’s 120-strong Scarborough Community Choir gives its annual charity concert at Westborough Methodist Church on 9 March.

This popular event has raised £1,000 a year for local charities. This year, Dial-A-Ride and Steps at Gallows Close will benefit.

The choir will sing a varied programme ranging from Noel Coward and Glenn Miller to the Beatles and the Everly Brothers.

There will be a guest solo appearance by local pianist Frank James.

The second half of the concert will feature Bill’s musical Oh, Nell!

The choir and Sandside Players will tell the rags-to-riches showbiz story of Nell Gwynn, bawdy star of the restoration theatre and one of Charles II’s most famous mistresses.

Written in the 1980s for a huge school cast, Oh Nell! hasn’t seen the light of day since its original Scarborough College production. “It takes place after the 1660 restoration of Charles II, when professional actresses appeared on the London stage for the first time and

a woman from the streets like Nell Gwynn could become a star and a royal favourite”, says Bill. “And of course, Nell’s rise to fame is set against the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, so there’s scope for stirring musical drama along the way”.

Revised and semi-staged with costumes, it is directed by Bill Scott and Tim Tubbs, with choreography by Anita Hill, the choir and 15 of the Sandside Players.

The cast is Rebecca Kelly-Evans as Nell Gwynn, Kathryn Irwin as Madam Gwynn and Lady

Castlemaine, Lesley Machen as Madam Ross and Queen Catharine, Linda Polkowski as Rose Gwynn, Louise Stanway as Orange Moll, Nathan Mundey as Will Duncan, Dave Blaker as Thomas Killigrew, Hilary Watts as Charles II, Andrew Clay as Charles Hart, Tim Tubbs as Robert Lacey, Chris Gray as Rough Man; plus Roger Crowther, Anita Hill, Kath Mundey and Sylvia Terry in smaller roles.

Tickets cost £5 from choir members, on the door and in advance from Woodend - ring 384500.

1840 penny black to be auctioned AN 1840 penny black with good margins is the star attraction at Scarborough Philatelic Society’s auction of stamps and accessories at the library on 5 March.

Viewing will be at 6.45pm, followed by the sale at 7.30pm.

The 140 lots include single stamps, album pages, packets,

British and Commonwealth issues, stamps of the world and mixtures.

Non-members are welcome.

Free entry.

For an auction catalogue, ring Ted Lunn on 259419 or Peter Arnett on 07971 218756. * At the society's February meet-

ing, chairman Robin Stenhouse and president Peter Arnett gave displays on the search by Europeans for Terra Australis Incognita, the unknown land of the south, and the 1971 postal workers’ strike.

Wrea Head is ready NEWS IN BRIEF to face the world SCALBY’S Wrea Head Hall has launched a new virtual tour in order to appeal more to savvy travellers.

The top-rated country hotel has undergone a major refurbishment and is now ready to face the world.

Former GP Mark Giles and Hollywood marketer Gerry Aburrow bought the Victorian country house hotel six years ago. It was sold by the administrators of English Rose Hotels, whose four local hotels included the Holbeck Hall Hotel, which slid into the sea in 1993.

The new owners were seeking an improved work-life balance.

Scarborough attracted them because it has the second highest footfall of tourists outside London and they saw that the hotel, although dated, had “good bones”, an excellent location in 11 acres of woodland and grounds, good staff, kitchens and levels of customer care, sea views with pheasants and deer.

Over the years, the new owners have rewired the place, replumbed the 21 bathrooms with Burlington of London fittings and carrara marble, installed Wilton carpets and Duresta furniture and ensured that the 1881 mansion retains its wood-panelled charm while providing lots of hot water at a good pressure.

“Being a GP is about solving people’s problems and keeping them happy in the long term, and the hotel business isn’t so different,” said Mark. “As a GP for 30 years, I took care of adults I first saw as children, who in the fullness of time

brought their own children to see me”.

Gerry’s work took him around the world but he tired of the usual rack-rate-minusdiscount hotel pricing system.

Wrea Head has embraced a little bit of Yorkshire straightforwardness and sets a single price for dinner, bed and breakfast. They send out marketing postcards four times a year to announce the prices, and that’s that. Gerry explains: “We are not a boutique hotel and we don’t do weddings. We are very good at dinner, bed and breakfast”. The strategy has been successful.

“The hotel business we bought relied on vouchers and cheap deals. We stopped all that and simplified”, said Gerry. “Our customers have mostly been readers of magazines such as Yorkshire Life but of course increasingly people are using social media and while we are certainly embracing that, we wanted to leap ahead with a virtual tour that would allow people to look around the hotel before they book”.

“We have been deliberately underplaying what is here so that people are pleasantly surprised when they arrive, but we are rated now very highly as a romantic hotel in North Yorkshire so it’s time to show people what we’ve got and what better way than with a virtual tour?

“What’s great about the Digital Zest service apart from the quality of the images is that the tour is stitched together so you can move through the hotel from room to room as if you are there. Also the search engines

love moving images. We find it very receptive, satisfying and easy to use”.

Viewing the virtual tour is easy using a desktop computer, tablet, smartphone or virtual reality headset. An app and mount, for instance Google's affordable Daydream View, allow the VR tour to be experienced by anyone with a suitable smartphone.

“Rather than trawling through descriptions, virtual reality allows potential guests to see for themselves before making a booking. It brings 'try before you buy' to the hotel industry”, said Digital Zest founder Paul Taylor.

As former head of marketing for the high street video rental company Blockbuster and then vice-president of the international supply chain for Warner Bros, Gerry is used to the rise and fall of digital media. “A business like us would normally be a follower, but with the virtual tour we wanted to leap ahead and lead”.

Did they get the work-life balance they wanted? “It’s been a huge gear change”, says Mark. “Gerry did it cold turkey, straight out of corporate America. I’ve done it more gradually but yes, now we work but choose when. Wrea Head Hall is a very strong business.

We were advised not to try to start small and work our way up, not to do something we would outgrow, but to find something we would grow into. That was the best advice we received”.

The virtual tour can be found on the hotel website.

BY TERRY ANNE

Following February, the month of love, we head into spring-like March – which can be quite varied with the weather. It can be a great time to reflect and focus on ourselves and discover where we’re heading for the year.

which is a vital part of our health and wellbeing. Whether we’re single or in a relationship, self-love is important to use for our self-esteem and confidence.

We’ve been guided by the idea that love is an emotion only felt between two people.

However, love is universal – an energy – a gift we’re all entitled to. To smile at a stranger is love; to offer a drink or money to a homeless person is love; to be grateful, brave and forgiving is to love.

Affirmations

While St. Valentine’s Day was celebrated by couples in love, let’s focus on self-love,

Here are some ways to love yourself daily to build your self-esteem and confidence.

Positive words in the present tense. Begin with simple, short statements like: “I am okay”, “I like me”, and “I love me”. Initially you may not believe these thoughts, but steady progress will change this to belief.

Compassion When

we

become

compassionate

towards ourselves by no longer judging our decisions and actions, we can learn from our mistakes, focus, and move on quickly and more easily. When we’re compassionate with ourselves and others we become more resilient. It’s easier to adapt to changes and bounce back from hardship.

Bravery Being true to yourself helps you to be courageous and strong. Challenges that would normally put you under pressure no longer feel so overwhelming. You know you can count on yourself regardless.

Positivity

BY BEN ROBINSON

4 nights 4 nights of living in the dark, 4 nights of loving with no spark, Every time I see you with someone new, I’m so glad I left you, and grew.

I see you wearing someone

A JOINT performance by Scarborough Concert Band and the Easy Band, at Westborough Methodist Church, raised £471 for the Sixth Form College’s music centre. It was attended by over 100 people, says SCB conductor Malcolm Appleby.

SCB’s next concert, at St Columba’s Church on 11 May, is in aid of Scarborough Parkinson.

No charge will be made for admission.

Love is still in the air WWW.TERRYANNE.COM

POEM CORNER

Using the aforementioned affirmations, we can become more positive. We’re less likely to spend time with people who drain our energy or put us down. You’ll find yourself gravitating towards others who inspire the best in you.

Comfort When we work on self-love, we become comfortable in our own skin and feel lighter, brighter and more confident on all levels. Self-destruction diminishes and we’re able to be less worried about the future. Being comfortable in the present, the harrows of the past no longer matter.

Love yourself

else’s clothes, They turned you into a withering rose, From the gardens of hell and despair, Whilst I feel like I can finally repair.

Tell myself, I’ll be okay, The moon will go down, And I won’t drown, It’ll all be okay, I see you walk across the road, It makes my heart explode, It reminds me of a perfect November, All it does is make me remember, 4 nights of living in the dark, 4 nights of loving with no spark.

Ben Robinson is a writer from Scarborough who has had success with his debut poetry collection Serpents, released in 2018. He has also had success in scriptwriting and written a play called Three People.

A review of the local Football scene...

BY ST E V E A DA M SO N

HOME SLIP-UPS COST ‘BORO SCARBOROUGH Athletic slipped out of the promotion play-off places when they suffered their sixth home league defeat of the season.

The hugely disappointing 2-0 loss to lowly Mickleover Sports took place at the Flamingo Land Stadium on 23 February. An entertaining 4-1 win against Stafford Rangers in the previous home match had reignited ‘Boro’s play-off hopes, and they then returned home from fellow challengers Nantwich Town with a 1-1 draw, prior to stumbling to that shock loss to a Mickleover side struggling to climb clear of the relegation zone.

So with just ten matches to play, Steve Kittrick’s side can’t afford many more slip-ups if they are to clinch a top five position come the end of the season. And they face a number of tough games – including trips to title challengers’ Warrington Town and South Shields in April.

At the game against Stafford Rangers at the Flamingo Land Stadium, several members of the Scarborough FC side that defeated Stafford 3-2 in the memorable 1976 FA Trophy Final at Wembley were invited to attend as guests of the club, and presented to supporters on the pitch before kick-off.

Attending the game were Harry Dunn, Jeff Barmby, Chris Dale, Derek Abbey and Kenny Dennis, who mingled with supporters in the clubhouse after the match. Middlesbrough U23s play Marske United in the other semi-final on 12 March.

Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor looks forward to the new season. You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant

SCARBOROUGH’S VOICE OF TREASON FOR THE past few years I’ve wanted to try and help get off the ground a brand spanking new fanzine for Scarborough Athletic. All my previous efforts and attempts failed to gain any interest.

We had one called Abandon Chips back in the Bridlington days, and more recently Steve Adamson has brought out “BORO Memories.”

So a few months back I was sent a message about some fellow Seadogs who had the same interests, we met up in a local public house and the five of us hashed out the outline of a fanzine for the club.

The Voice of Treason was born… The name came from the old club as we still felt betrayed by the demise of Scarborough FC and the loss of the Athletic ground.

We also wanted to provide a voice for supporters, young and old, to raise any concerns or issues that we might have.

We could be a soundboard to come to. We are a fan owned club, with the community at heart. That's why we have taken the opportunity to help people in our community with

the proceeds in selling VOT, with the proceeds we want to use to raise awareness of local community projects in Scarborough, and help find ways that we can help them.

We have reached out to the rainbow centre in town and have secured a food bank collection point at the club on 16 March (Stalybridge Celtic match), where supporters can come to the match with tins, soup, peas and rice. This could really help a family in the borough to put food on the table. That's just one of the projects that we're willing to take on.

All five of us are typing up what will hopefully be written masterpieces: both interesting and informative. We also have guest spots from anyone with an interest in writing about the club or football in general.

Not to give any spoilers away, but in the first edition I have an interview with who I think is an unsung hero at the club and technically isn’t a fan of the club (I’d like to think I’ve converted him?).

Also I delve into one of my passions in football and one of

The Voice of Treason fanzine logo

the reasons I love the beautiful game.

Bovichoc our mascot the penguin, this is our tribute to the Penguin Football Club that was formed in 1926 by James Johnson who owned Penguin Lodge just off Seamer Road and was the forerunner to Scarborough Football Club and now Scarborough Athletic today. I’m hoping this project will be a success and really think we with help from the club and friends will make sure we can gather a really good product for fans and really help some people along the way. n If you’d like to help you can always email us at ContactVOT@gmail.com or follow on Twitter @VOT_Fanzine

Covering Scarborough, Filey & Hunmanby

FROM THE TOUCHLINE All the latest from Scarborough Rugby FEBRUARY was a month of mixed fortunes for high-flying Scarborough RUFC in their quest for promotion from the Rugby Football Union (RFU) NORTH ONE EAST LEAGUE. The Seasiders started off the month on the 9th with an away game at York; coming off the back of the 35-10 home defeat of West Leeds they led the league with two more points than second-placed Morpeth.

Trips to York’s Clifton Park ground have been less than fruitful for Scarborough over the last few seasons and last season they came away with a bit of a bloody nose having been thumped 53-7 by the Minstermen. And it looked as if their worst fears may be realised when the slipped to a twelve point deficit playing into a gale in the first half.

Although missing influential second row Tom Hicks who limped off in the first half the Seasiders harnessed the wind and took control after the break with tries from from Aaron Wilson (2) who had moved from centre to replace Hicks in the pack, No8 Ben Martin and winger Jonty Holloway; Tom Ratcliffe added nine points with the boot and although the home side scored an injury-time consolation try, Scarborough ran out 29-20 bonus-point winners to remain to remain top of the table.

The men from Silver Royd then had their second free Saturday of the Month on the 16th before

BY DAVE CAMPBELL

facing Pocklington RUFC at home on the 23rd of the month.

Although they had beaten Pocklington 36-29 at their patch back in October, Coach Simon Smith’s men were weakened by the absence of influential front row forward Sam Dawson, stand-out second rower Cade Robinson, centre Matty Young and long term absentee Tom Harrison who is now on the mend.

The game was frankly a bit of a disaster for the Seasiders. For having held the lead against all the odds until the last ten minutes of a cracking game they eventually succumbed to the effects of a string of yellow cards and two sending’s-off as they slid to their second home defeat of the season.

They lost Ben Martin and Tom Hicks to the sin-bin in the first forty minutes but still managed to lead 7-5 at the break thanks to a Jimmy Perrett try converted by Tom Ratcliffe.

They maintained their lead until the final ten minutes of the game but had Hicks sent off for a second yellow card, both cards for technical offences, Jordan Wakeham sin-binned and skipper Matty Jones dismissed for back-chat to referee Tom Boyle from Malton who as you can imagine was hardly a favourite with the home crowd! Having run out of steam the home side conceded four tries at the death to lose 7-25.

Although Pocklington deserved

their win, Coach Simon Smith and his players were desperately disappointed following a poor day at the office where their lack of concentration and indiscipline let them down. With the ongoing injuries in the forward pack, the consequences of the dismissals of Hicks and skipper Matty Jones could be very damaging to Scarborough’s promotion prospects.

With Morley defeating West Leeds 29-22 in a postponed game last Saturday, Scarborough now sit second in the league and have four vital fixtures this month with a trip to Driffield on Saturday, then bottom-club Consett are next up at Silver Royd on the 9th. The 16th is a free Saturday before a trip to resurgent Morley on the 23rd and Geordies Percy Park visit the coast on the 30th; it’ll be a make or break month!

And finally, news from both ends of the age spectrum at Silver Royd last weekend; congratulations to Iris Young and Stephanie Else of Scarborough under-15 girls who played for Yorkshire in an under-15 county tournament at Doncaster last Sunday. In action the day before for the club’s third XV The Danesmen against Goole was Simon Dixon who has played at every level for the club, still turning out at 51 years young!

its supporters club and its sponsors.

The new stand will be built on the eastern side of the football pitch, in the lee of Oliver’s Mount. Its central section will have 336 seats, some of which will be for families. Tiered terraces for standing on each side of the seated section will each accommodate 430 spectators. Eight new wheelchair spaces will be created in the existing main stand, expanding capacity from four to 12 spaces.

The work will begin with alterations to the floodlights and pitch-side fence. The construction of the new stand will begin after the end of the 2018/19 football season, to

minimise disruption.

Boro chairman Trevor Bull said: “I am absolutely over the moon that the funding bid has been successful. It enables us to get started on the much-needed stadium improvements, which, when complete, will provide our loyal supporters with a greatly improved match-day experience. We particularly welcome the ability to be able to expand our provision for disabled fans and we know the new facilities will be well used.

The increased capacity that the changes will bring will not only allow us to maintain our current level of support but also increase it in the future”.

The stadium opened on 10 June 2017.

THE BORO ground is to be extended and improved at the end of the season.

A joint funding bid for £150,000 got the thumbs-up from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund, which means a new spectator stand can be built.

The stadium capacity will rise to over 2,800 spectators.

The bid was submitted by Scarborough Athletic Football Club and Scarborough Council.

The new money will be added to the £100,000 generated by the council in 2017 through the awarding of the naming rights for the stadium to Flamingo Land Ltd. The remaining funds required for the projected £290,000 project will be provided by Boro,

Snooker club members with their new table (to order photos ring 353597)

Words and photo by Dave Barry TERRY SUMMERSGILL, a keen snooker player and a keener bowler, never even hinted at what he was planning in his will.

Terry, who died early last year, left £10,000 to what is probably Scarborough’s smallest snooker club.

The first his grieving pals knew about it was when the club received a letter out of the blue from a solicitor.

Eastfield, North Cliff and

Borough bowling clubs had a similar surprise.

The men’s snooker club, founded in the basement of St Columba’s Church in 1980, felt like it had scored a 147.

Members decided to blow half the legacy on a reconditioned table to replace the old one, which was “knackered”, as one of them candidly put it.

They donated £2,000 to the church and £1,000 to the hospice. They haven’t yet decided how to use the other £2,000, explains secretary Dave Ireland.

The new table is the same make as the old one, Burroughes & Watts. It was professionally installed by two strong men who spent hours heaving the cumbersome pieces of slate into place, ensuring that the green baize was perfectly level.

The club doesn’t keep regular hours but is open whenever required by the 18 members, who are mostly in their 70s and 80s. They pay £1.20 for a threegame session and the club makes two donations per year to the church.

Bowling weekend SCARBOROUGH’S indoor bowls centre is anticipating a busy weekend in April.

The England versus Scotland charity game on 6 April is always well attended and has

become a major event in the club’s calendar.

It will be followed by the ladies county finals on 7 April.

Club president Brenda Foster says: “We have two quiz nights

now every Sunday and a music and entertainment quiz once a month on a Friday evening.

These are becoming popular”.
