PG 24 Miss Wright receives some flowers, watched by the mayor

Words and photos by Dave Barry When Nellie Wright was born, Henry CampbellBannerman was prime minister, Edward VII was king and the British empire coloured much of the globe pink. Scarborough’s oldest resident, who has just celebrated her 109th birthday, is the 35th oldest person in the country. Miss Wright is four years younger than the oldest, Gladys Hooper, 113, of Ryde on the south coast. And she is six years younger than the oldest British person ever; Charlotte Hughes died in 1993, aged 115

years and 228 days. Born in Leeds on 17 April 1907, Miss Wright never married and attributes her longevity to “having nothing to do with men”. She also abstained from alcohol. Miss Wright had a sheltered upbringing. “My mother and father wouldn't let me out,” she says, adding that she never sneaked out either: “I was watched too much.” She says she never worked, apart from teaching at Sunday school, as her father, who was a tailor, kept her at home. She had a brother who was three years older. (Continued on page 6)

Women stepping up for Race for Life by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

IT is that time of the year again where women across Scarborough and Bridlington get together to show cancer who is the boss. Cancer Research UK Race for Life events take place in Scarborough on Wednesday July 13 and in Bridlington on Wednesday June 1. Entries to the Scarborough race, which sets off from the Sealife Centre have the option of doing either a 10k or 5k while the Bridlington race at Sewerby Fields is 5k. Last year, 1,260 women took part in Race for Life in Scarborough and raised a fantastic £58,329 while 955 women took part in Race for Life in Bridlington and raised a £51,192. Money raised through the events allows Cancer Research UK’s doctors, nurses and scientists to advance research which in turn helps to save the lives of men, women and children across Yorkshire. Georgina Thornton, Cancer Research UK’s Scarborough and Bridlington Event Manager,

Women gather in numbers for the Race for Life Scarborough last year said: “Race for Life is an amazing way to celebrate everyone we love who has survived cancer. It’s also an emotional and moving way to pay tribute to those dear to us whose lives have been cut short by the disease. “We are also looking for volunteers for both events. Men women, children and anyone else are welcome to marshal, hand out water or high fives, and all volunteers receive a free t-shirt, hot and cold drink and a snack pack. It would be great to get some extra support.” n To register for the races or to be a volunteer visit: raceforlife. cancerresearchuk.org/

Darth Vader enters the Spa Complex

Kylo Ren from Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk SCI-FI Scarborough 2016 set new boundaries and was bigger and better than ever. It was the third sci-fi event and featured stars from the world of the genre such as Richard Hatch of Battlestar Galactica, Garrett Wang of Star Trek: Voyager and Babylon 5's Claudia Christian plus many more out of this world treats covering the entire Spa Complex. Scarborough Review Editor Pete Spence

Out of this world characters and Radio Scarborough's Mark Sinclair took the voyage down to the Spa to get a closer look. Organiser Steve Dickinson said: “It was an amazing weekend and first and foremost I would like to thank everyone who helped in making it possible. “To get the international stars we did was fantastic and shows that this weekend is becoming known all over the world. “The Spa was packed out and we managed to make the most of all parts of the building we could, with live music outside and demonstrations as well as the exhibitors and stands inside; so there was something for everyone.” Planning for Sci-Fi Scarborough 2017 is already under way and Steve can't wait. He added: “Each year we get the opportunity to welcome bigger stars of the genre and more people also come to see us because the popularity of the event is growing. “We want to put Scarborough on the map with this and thanks to all the people who help I am sure we can.”

More votes will be given if they chose to dress up as their selected artiste and perform their style of dancing. “L'amour is a great venue and I am sure we will have a fantastic night with some interesting performances. It is all about having a great time and raising money so please come along.” n If you wish to register your name and song you can email: wonkey@ wonkeymcdonky.co.uk or ring/text 07974 806830 on an evening.

Clive went along to Queen Street Methodist Hall to give a talk all about his love for the group and their music. He said: “I was delighted to go along to give a talk all about my favourite band ABBA and it went very well. “They were a lovely group and were interested in my stories and knowledge of ABBA. I took a CD player along with me and played a few of the most famous tunes and we had a sing a long. “I would like to say thank you to the friends for listening keenly and taking part in a question and answer session.” n If any local groups or retirement homes etc would like Clive to come and tell you all about ABBA then call him on 07940262619.

Lanstone lighting the way for Whitby lighthouse

L to R, Oliver Counsell, John Woodhead & Joe Plant YORK-based, Lanstone Conservation Ltd has just completed an £86,000 investment project to restore the much loved West Pier lighthouse in Whitby and plans are now well underway to re-open the structure to the public for the first time in four years. Partly funded by a £50,000 grant from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) Coastal Revival Fund, work has involved repairs to areas of the external stone work, internal works to glazing, windows and the staircase and also steelwork reinforcing. Harbour funds have been invested to make up the balance of funding required for the project. This will be offset by income generated from reopening the lighthouse to the public. The project was sensitively carried out by

restoration and preservation contractor, Lanstone Conservation Ltd of York, which specialises in the restoration and repair of historical and listed buildings. Cllr Joe Plant, Scarborough Borough Council Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transformation said: “The lighthouse plays a very important part in Whitby’s attraction as a centre for culture and heritage and crucially, the DCLG funding has allowed us to realise our aspiration to regenerate it and return it to its former glory. We are delighted with the results of the restoration work and we hope local residents and visitors to the town will be too.” The West Pier lighthouse was built in 1831 from locally quarried stone. It stands 22 metres tall and is approximately 2.5 metres in diameter. Oliver Councell, Project Manager, Lanstone Conservation Ltd, said: “Restoring such a landmark building has been really exciting. We have renewed the perimeter railings to the light box and undertaken significant structural and refurbishment works. Whilst it was always challenging working within the confines of such an historic building, it is very satisfying to think that it will now be there for future generations and that visitors can again climb up and enjoy the view.

The Queen’s message

Miss Wright had a birthday card from the Queen, who is 19 years younger

Birthday buns with three candles shaped like the numbers 1, 0 and 9 Celebrations for UK’s 35th oldest person (Continued from the front page) Asked how she came to be living in Scarborough, she replied: “We must have come to Scarborough on holiday and liked it.” “She’s quite a quiet lady, a typical miss from the olden days,” says a spokesperson for the Lodge nursing home on the South Cliff, where Miss Wright lives. Miss Wright previously lived at St Martin’s Lodge and moved to the Lodge when it closed four years ago. She has a lovely broad smile, a cheerful manner and a glint in her eye that suggests a lively and occasionally mischievous mind. On her birthday, she received many cards, flowers and gifts and was visited by the mayor and mayoress, Tom and Ros Fox. Notable events that took place in the year of Miss Wright’s birth include: * The first tax-cabs with meters began operating in London.

* A treaty brought Korea more firmly under Japanese control. * Robert Baden-Powell led the first scout camp on Brownsea island. * Two big passenger liners, Lusitania and Mauretania, made their maiden voyages from Liverpool to New York. * Guglielmo Marconi initiated commercial trans-Atlantic radio communications between telegraphy stations in Ireland and Nova Scotia. *The largest sailing ship ever built, with seven masts, was wrecked in the Isles of Scilly. * Rudyard Kipling won the Nobel prize for literature. Born in the same year as Miss Wright were poet WH Auden, film director Fred Zinnemann, author Daphne du Maurier, Tintin author Georges Remi, painter Frida Kahlo, spy Anthony Blunt and actors Ray Milland, Laurence Olivier, John Wayne, Barbara Stanwyck and Peggy Ashcroft.

A French evening at Lazenby’s bistro in York Place raised £175 for Scarborough RNLI. Lazenby’s was one of 25 UK restaurants and many more around the world which took part in a global celebration of French gastronomy on 21 March. The annual Goût de France / Good France event takes place in restaurants and French embassies - including the one in London around the world. It showcases the vibrancy, creativity and innovation of French cuisine, while remaining true to the values of sharing, enjoyment and respect for good food and the planet. Two weeks before this year’s event, Simon & Valérie Lazenby attended a reception at the French embassy in London, hosted by France’s UK ambassador, Sylvie Bermann. The other guests included Raymond Blanc. Ambassador Bermann said: “I am delighted that so many restaurants around the UK joined us in this global celebration of French food and drink. “Goût de France was a chance like no other to savour some of the world’s finest gastronomy – from well-loved classics to innovative new dishes and fusions, all of which showcase the best of French cooking today.”

Scarborough RNLI’s temporary shop has moved. For the last few months, the shop has been positioned in front of the building site of the new lifeboathouse. With construction now at an advanced stage, the shop has had to move around the corner onto West Pier. Run by volunteers, it reopened on West Pier on Saturday 16 April. It is open from 10am-4pm daily until it transfers into the new lifeboathouse.

Most of the participating restaurants were in London, which has a large population of people whose first language is French. Besides Scarborough, the others outside London were in Great Milton, East Molesey, Bury St Edmunds, Hebden, Cumbernauld and Edinburgh.

SIR Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire and the man credited with bringing the Tour de France to Yorkshire, visited Scarborough YMCA Theatre to do the honours and officially open their newly-licensed bar. Graham Ibbotson, the YMCA’s Theatre Manager, said: “We have been considering licensing the theatre bar for some time, and thanks to the help of O’Brien Licensing Services and support from Andy Whitelaw Joinery, NDL Electrical, B&Q, staff and volunteers, we have completed the work and are absolutely delighted with the results.” The YMCA Theatre is a much-loved venue for top-quality entertainment in the town and has been in its current location for

28 years. Part of Scarborough YMCA, a registered Charity, the theatre is one of the best-equipped venues of its type, visited by thousands of people each year who go to see talented local youngsters perform in the many productions. Sir Gary recognised the great work of Scarborough YMCA, paid tribute to the local companies whose support made it all possible and thanked the YMCA’s staff and volunteers for their achievements. He also took the opportunity to update the speciallyinvited guests on plans for the forthcoming Tour deYorkshire which will finish in Scarborough on 1 May. n Find out more about the productions on offer at the YMCA Theatre by visiting their website at: www.ymcascarborough. uk or call in to the YMCA on St Thomas Street.

Making music and raising funds at British Legion Coastival 2016 by Tony Bartholomew

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THOUSANDS flocked to this year’s Coastival arts event bringing an out-of-season financial boost to Scarborough, new figures reveal. An analysis of February’s three-day arts festival shows a total of 6,230 people at the festival events over the weekend. Estimates suggest this brought a direct economic boost of £426,781 into Scarborough. The continuing effect of that money spent through the economy – known as the induced economic impact – is estimated at around £650,549 for the Scarborough local economy. And those visitors liked what they saw with 89% of people surveyed giving Coastival eight or more out of 10. Coastival saw more than 100 events (92 of them free) in 37 venues over three days in February. In total there were 18,691 attendances at events. And the audiences were pretty much split between home and away, with 52% local and 48% from away, with the rest of Yorkshire and the north of England accounting for the bulk of visitors but some coming from London, the south, Wales and Scotland.

Coastival director Wendy Holroyd said “These figures bear out what we felt, that this year’s Coastival was a tremendous success and we are absolutely thrilled with them.” Amongst the highlights, the opening parade featuring Ireland-based Spraoi staging ‘Polar Quest’ along the South Bay attracted some 2,000 people. Children’s events at Rollercoastival attracted 1,321 attendances from youngsters aged from just one to 12. ‘The Prison Project’ which saw the disused prison off Dean Road showcasing art work inspired by the prison environment, was also extremely popular, attracting 1,400 attendances. Other big draws included Animated Objects Theatre Company staging the Song of Leviathan, featuring a host of giant puppets, live music and a beach procession, which attracted over 1,400 attendances during the weekend. Also popular were The Den at Farrer’s Bar, Backseat Mafia and a mix of live music, DJs and VJs at The Engine Room in the Spa Sun Court Suite, each of which attracted around 1,000 attendances.

The event was put on to raise money for the community radio station which is based at The Street in Scarborough. There was a packed house at the Royal British Legion who enjoyed great music, fun and games.

Radio Scarborough's Financial Director Alan Deacon said: “It was a fantastic evening with some top music and a lot of laughs. I would like to thank everyone who came along and we raised £100 for the station which is terrific. “I am sure we will be hosting more similar evenings in the future.” n To tune into Radio Scarborough or to become a community partner visit: www.radioscarborough.co.uk

Tales from the Cooler Water

by Steve Crawford

FIRSTLY, thanks to everyone who came to the SAS Big Spring Beach Clean on April 17. You were part of the biggest national beach clean ever, with more than 700 volunteers covering 220 beaches nationwide. Definitely quite an achievement so hopefully you might be able to forgive us for one snafu. A number of people missed the Scarborough beach clean because the incorrect start time was listed on the SAS website which stated that it began at 2.30 pm rather than the correct time of 10 am. I am really sorry if you were one of the folks who missed out - if so, please get in touch and we will arrange a new date and add it to the Big Spring Beach Clean figures. The big water news for the summer is the repairs to the Cornelian bay outfall pipe which has been the bane of our corner for the past 4 years. Repairs have started, you can see the works if you look south from

The beach clean gets under way at the South Bay the Spa complex. On the point you can see diggers and boats working away. One downside is that water quality has dropped

They are also looking for people who have experience of fundraising to help raise essential funds. n If you would like to find out more before the open day please contact DAG Manager Tim Vasey on 01723 480029

markedly, Cayton bay especially has been affected with many people surfing in very bad conditions. If you are surfing or see any

poor water conditions, contact me or SAS directly and call the Environment agency to.let them.know so they can investigate. The good news is this is temporary and by August we should have a new pipe depositing McCain factory waste a couple of km out to sea rather than leaking into Cornelian bay. On the local surfing front, the waves have been great and the water is, slowly, getting warmer. I have started surf and paddleboard lessons again for the summer. Once the days get longer and warmer all the grumpy winter surfers get their smiles back for a few months of NE England summer. So if a person holds the door for you, smiles and looks far too cheerful, it's probably an east coast surfer who realises that summer is to be shared and enjoyed. I am writing this after the warmest day of the year so far but next week is forecasting snow. The joys of an East Coast spring are too many to list.

Keep on growing in the greenhouse ALL of us day dream about inventions that would make life easier! Sadly, most of those day dreams stay just that. However, at this time of the year every gardener will be dreaming of the same thing - a greenhouse with expanding sides! Seedlings are growing at a rate of knots and need pricking out and potting up but aren't hardy enough to stand outside yet. In the muck and magic greenhouse the Head Gardener can be heard muttering gently about where he is going to put the softwood rooted cuttings which are coming out of the propagator and need bench space to grow on. Half hardy annuals such as lobelia and petunias can begin to be hardened off and acclimatised to outdoor conditions. Stand them outside during the day but be prepared to bring them back inside again at night. Keep the horticultural fleece handy in case of cold nights that we still encounter in May. Keep up with the pricking out and potting up so seedlings and young plants don't suffer a check in their growth. Tomatoes can be planted out in the greenhouse border or in pots or grow bags. Don't forget to get the doors and windows open on warm days

to keep the air moving. This is crucial if you are to avoid a build up of pests and diseases such as aphid and mildew. Start to plant up your summer baskets and containers but keep them in the greenhouse for another three weeks to give them chance to establish - and pay attention to the all important watering and feeding. Tender veg plants such as runner beans can be started on the greenhouse bench now but if you couldn't wait for spring and your plants are already growing away, don't be tempted to plant them out yet without some protection as the weather in May can be notoriously fickle leading us on to think we are safely into frost free summer days then presenting us with a late cold snap just when we least expect it. So, with the tomatoes, runner beans, seedlings, cuttings and baskets all competing for bench space you can see why my greenhouse with expandable sides would be a great idea. I think the Head Gardener would agree too!

Happy Gardening.

I WAS delighted to read Dave Barry's story about the history and get-together of the four musicians now entertaining Charles Braithwaite by Pete Spence under the stage name Easy Street. I've not had the pleasure of knowing Bob Malinowski or Kevin Leach but remember the many wonderful Saturday evenings of music and dancing to the Dave Pinkney band at the Everley Hotel. The song " Winchester Cathedral" always springs to mind whenever the names Pinkney or Everley are mentioned. In later years I was fortunate to be welcomed to the Saturday evening performances of Roger and Out at the Royal Hotel, always an enjoyable programme of popular music. Also, enjoyable times at the Nalgo centre and Wallis's Cayton Bay club. Thanks for the memory Dave. Kind regards

The sewing ladies having fun at North Bay Railway

Dear Editor

A FEW months ago the sewing ladies from the Salvation Army did a good turn for the North Bay Railway staff at the weekly club held in the citadel every Monday afternoon 2-4 pm. To return the favour they gave us a treat of a ride on the train Neptune to Scalby Mills. It was a lovely sunny day and to finish off we all went into the Glass House Bistro for coffee and fresh home made scones with jam and cream . Some of our ladies come from Filey. So everyone is welcome so come and make new friends . Could I please take this opportunity through your paper to thank Cllr. Janet Jefferson for getting us a grant and allowing us to purchase two further sewing machines so the ladies don't have to wait in a queue and can get on with their sewing. This is a real community hub and friendships made Some of us even purchased Phil Hart's new book on Yorkshire. So many thanks to Stella, Graham and Phil for a brilliant day out.

Dear Editor

I AM writing to ask your animal-loving readers to Paws for Tea and host a tea party on Friday 13 May in aid of a pet charity very close to my heart, Blue Cross. Their Paws for Tea tea parties are a really fun and simple way to help the thousands of sick, injured and homeless pets that need Blue Cross every year. Whether it’s at home, in the office or at school, Paws for Tea is a good excuse to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake whilst helping raise money for a good cause. My two dogs Stan and Elsie are very dear to me and they get so much love and attention – I wouldn’t be without them. But sadly not all pets are as lucky. Blue Cross works tirelessly to care for hundreds of vulnerable pets and to help find them happy new homes. So go on, put the kettle on and sign up now at Sewing Instructor and www.bluecross.org.uk/teapartyor phone 0300 MBE Sewing Assistant 790 9903. With my best wishes,

sadness that I learned of the passing of Charles Braithwaite following the submission of this letter. I met Charles previously when I did a talk at the Old Vic in Scarborough regarding the emergence of the Scarborough Review. He was both extremely polite and very intrigued about the paper and we had a long conversation on the matter. A great guy who will be missed by many. RIP Charles Braithwaite 1929-2016.

Festival directors Peter Guttridge & Heather French

Kings Cross flat had been used by Anthony Minghella for a sex scene with Juliette Binoche and Jude Law in the 2006 film Breaking and Entering. Peter and co-director Heather French were thrilled with the audience response to their wide range of events this year. The festival ran from Paul Hannam’s opening event (about the film Groundhog Day as a template for living life) on the Wednesday to Sherlock Holmes expert David Stuart Davies at the old prison, performing his Edinburgh Fringe show The Game’s Afoot! on the Sunday. Of the events he chaired, Peter said: “Debut crime authors Fiona Barton and Janet Ellis were a delight together. Paraplegic ex-soldier Harry Parker was an inspiration and MC Beaton was wicked!” Heather’s favourites were the two Tracey Chevalier appearances. “I liked her readings from her new novel. But I also thought she worked particularly well with Claire Harman at our Brontë event – which I thought was brilliant. And Joan Bakewell is an inspiration - an insightful, highly intelligent and all-round amazing person.” Both directors were keen to thank “the good folk of Scarborough for supporting the festival”, plus sponsors, volunteers, the county council and local council for their support. “We couldn’t do it without them,” Heather says. “We’re particularly grateful to the county council for making the library concert hall available to us and the town council for making the town hall and Victorian prison available. We're still selffinancing, with a little private sponsorship, but no public funding so every little helps.” Next year’s Books by the Beach will be from 26 April to 1 May, a bank-holiday weekend.

Spy talk: Andrew Lownie, Adam Sisman and Barry Forshaw

Words and photos by Dave Barry Fascinating obsessions were one of many themes running through Scarborough’s annual literature festival. For Richard Hines it was falconry, for Tracy Chevalier it was apples, for Lizzie Ostrom it was perfume and for Vince Cable it was politics. In a thick Barnsley accent, hawk-obsessed Hines read from his memoir, just a month after the death of his brother, Kes author Barry Hines, from dementia. In a distinctive US east-coast accent, despite 30 years in the UK, Tracy Chevalier said she’d spent the morning visiting Anne Brontë’s grave and eating hot doughnuts on the beach. The author of Girl With a Pearl Earring talked about her latest book, At the Edge of the Orchard. Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette Toilette, couldn’t talk about her abiding preoccupation without handing out samplers. And Vince Cable, who helped prop up the Tories until he lost his seat last year, said, “The British economy is horribly misbalanced in favour of big business” and that “The government is now doing a lot of the things that we stopped them doing in coalition.” And all that was on just one day of Books by the Beach – the Saturday. The day before had seen talks by Joan Bakewell, Alice Roberts and Melvyn Bragg. Regrettably, I missed Bakewell, which everybody said was excellent, but hugely enjoyed Roberts’ talk on the Celts and Bragg’s funny and discursive description of his latest book. Now is the Time is about an event which he said was “miscalled the peasants’ revolt” but was in fact “the greatest rebellion, per head of population, that there’s ever been in this country”, in 1381. On his first visit to the town, the 76-year-old polymath talked about his Radio 4 show In Our Time and justified accepting his peerage on the grounds that it helped get pro-arts legislation onto the statute books. The latter was at the Spa Theatre, whereas the majority of events were at the library. Most speakers addressed the audience directly, others via two equally affable, knowledgeable and well-researched interlocutors: festival do-director Peter Guttridge and crime writer Barry Forshaw. In one of these conversations, Francophile Joanne Harris said she’d driven a miniscooter into a lighting rig on the film-set of Chocolat, based on her novel, and her friend Christopher Fowler said he’d been paid £20 for coining the phrase “In space, noone can hear you scream”. Fowler said his

A thousand vandalised gravestones fixed by Community Payback Words and photo by Dave Barry

Paul Pratt, kneeling, rebuilds a gravestone in Dean Road cemetery. (To order this photo, ring 353597) Over 1,000 vandalised gravestones have been restored at Dean Road cemetery in Scarborough. The work has been carried out over the last three years by offenders recruited via the probation service, under the Community Payback scheme.

Many of the damaged headstones have been toppled and broken into pieces. Paul Pratt, a probation service supervisor for 23 years, oversees the restorations. He says it is now impossible to vandalise the gravestones in the same way. Using a hoist in the form of an aluminium gantry, Paul and his helpers repair the gravestones by mounting them on a concrete base and joining them together with steel pins. The work is carried out three times a week and is set to continue for some time. Paul estimates that 6,000 gravestones have been damaged throughout the extensive cemetery and that it will take another 12 years to fix them. Not all have been vandalised; some have been dislodged by tree roots and subsidence. The oldest are about 150 years old.

Market must reclaim its place Talking about death no longer taboo at the heart of Scarborough by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

SCARBOROUGH Market must reclaim its place as the beating heart of the town by providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere and something new and exciting. That’s what consultation on the Cllr Bill Chatt future of the market has suggested, as the building is made ready for a £2.7m transformation. Partners behind the redevelopment sought the views of shoppers, tourists and businesses. Findings suggest people have an appetite for a market offering produce that is distinct and unique to Scarborough and providing good quality and value for money. It should offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere, a more

modern shopping experience, feel busy with an exciting hustle and bustle, and throw up some surprises. Councillor Bill Chatt, Scarborough Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Public Health and Housing, said: “The consultation is both reinforcing our own views about the future of the market and also giving us some food for thought for the planned redevelopment. “The research seems to suggest that if we can restore its energy and a warm welcoming atmosphere, whilst providing good quality, value for money products, people will go and enjoy their new market.” “As a key part of the transformational plans to develop a 21st Century Market Place, we were really pleased to receive positive feedback on the planned online, virtual market, with respondents looking forward to its convenience. Also for the online market intelligence system, a resource expected to be invaluable to local businesses.”

TALKING about death and dying is something many of us find difficult to do despite its inevitability for all of us. Death has been pushed to the margins of life and has almost become a taboo subject. The aim of a Death Café is to ‘increase awareness of death with the view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.' Death Cafes are pop-up Cafés providing an opportunity for people, often strangers, to have an open, honest conversation about death and dying over refreshing drinks and food – and cake! Death Cafes are run on a not for profit basis, they offer an opportunity for a discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. Scarborough’s first Death Café is being facilitated by Brigit Peacock, a registered and practicing Human Givens psychotherapist. Brigit is delighted that Sue Hartley, Scarborough Academy of Music, has kindly agreed to provide her beautiful music studio as a venue for Scarborough's first Death

Cafe on Thursday may 12 between 7-9pm. Sue is also providing a glass of prosecco to help get the conversations flowing! Scarborough’s first Death Café has been timed to coincide with this year’s Dying Brigit Peacock Matters Awareness Week from May 9-15. Brigit hopes that this will be the first of many Death Cafes in Scarborough and is always on the look-out for potential venues. If you would like to attend Scarborough’s First Death Café please reserve your place by going to: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ death-cafe-tickets-24311963738 as spaces are limited. It is a free event however donations to cover the costs would be greatly appreciated. n More information about Scarborough’s First Death Café can also be found at: deathcafe.com/deathcafe/3149/

Aimed at the outdoor enthusiast they offer adventure holidays under canvas. Activities include mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, paddle boarding, coasteering, surfing and hiking. Dale Cunningham said: “We met in Italy over six years ago, we were both reps for a holiday company. Jac was teaching wind surfing and water sports, I was teaching other outdoor pursuits. After hiking and rafting together through the dolomites we both left Italy and travelled to Switzerland for the winter season, where I stayed for three years. Jac taught extreme sports travelling between beaches and mountains whilst I led hiking groups across some of the most stunning scenery in the world.”

The adventure company was set up six months ago by Jac. He had arrived home a year earlier with a broken femur and shattered dreams, but soon met Anna, a local girl working at Scarborough Hospital as a junior doctor. Whilst Anna nursed Jac back to health their relationship grew and eventually they moved in together above North Bay. Dreams were developing roots as Yorkshire Adventure Holidays was being put from mind to paper. Jac, a charismatic leader from Hull, added: “Call it fate or serendipity, we never planned to come to Scarborough, it all just happened that way.

YCH Chief Exec Shaun Tymon (left) picks up the keys to the new community minibus with Jennifer Jaconelli, Acting Corporate Communications Manager at McCain Foods (centre), and Beerhouse Self Drive Hire Director, Phil Moses. YORKSHIRE Coast Homes, McCain Foods and Beerhouse Self-Drive Hire have joined forces to provide a much needed transport option for people within our local communities. A new 16 seat community minibus will now enable YCH tenants, together with the service users of many of the company’s partner agencies and organisations, to access some of the events and opportunities from which they have so far been excluded, due to travelling expenses. Patrick Chandler, Yorkshire Coast Homes Customer Care & Support Manager said: “As a not-for-profit housing association, with responsibility for around 4500 homes

and the families and individuals that live in them, Yorkshire Coast Homes has a longstanding commitment to building inclusive communities where everyone can access life improving options and activities. We know that many people are prevented from attending events or taking up these opportunities by the cost of travel and we think that the YCH Community Minibus is a great example of how we have worked with valued partners McCain Foods and Beerhouse Self Drive Hire to tackle this issue. The vehicle carries the name “Connect” along with the branding of all three partners and provides a visual illustration of how we are connecting to play an active role across our communities.” Jennifer Jaconelli, Acting Corporate Communications Manager at McCain Foods, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting this initiative. The bus will give many people the opportunity to take part in activities they may not normally have access to, whether they be social, learning or sporting.” The bus has been used on a number of occasions so far including, re-locating a family into temporary accommodation, transporting families from Scarborough Women’s Centre to an event at Gallows Close and taking a party of sheltered accommodation residents on an outing to The Deep, in Hull.

Temper Tantrums On Good Friday I decided to meet my friends and their little ones for an Easter egg hunt at Peasholm Park as the weather was glorious. Naturally, I thought it was a great idea to take my son on his Trike…what a mistake that was! I should’ve known that it’s never wise to leave the pushchair at home. We set off and all was well, that is until I made the mistake of walking into a local shop. All of a sudden Shay turned into the Tasmanian devil; he screamed, cried, kicked and even went as far as sticking his arm out so that he could knock products off the shelf. No matter what I did I could not calm the little man down. Five minutes into temper tantrum of 2016, it got that bad that all the Shop assistants came up to me to see if I needed help, even random strangers gave me that look as if to say: ‘What are you doing to the Child?’ Very embarrassing. I tried cuddling him, bribing him with treats, letting him walk around, but he laid on the floor and screamed even louder. I was at the end of my tether and extremely frustrated, so I decided to ignore him and let him get it out of his system. After an hour and half he stopped, finally. If you’d like to know why I can inform you that it is because he fell asleep, he slept through the whole of the Easter Egg hunt and most of the picnic too. The joys of Motherhood!

Coping with Teething

Shay and I have been going through teething together for what seems like an eternity. But if your baby’s going through the teething nightmare right now - don’t panic! I have some great tips to help them get through it. 1. Painkillers for children – not always something you want to give to your little one, I know – but they can be effective nonthe-less. Rub a little sugar-free teething gel on your baby’s gums. It numbs the pain for around 20 minutes. Calpol can also work wonders; just make sure you follow the correct doses. 2. Try homeopathic/herbal teething granules, which many mums have found to be effective. A popular brand is Boots’ Teething Pain Relief, a homeopathic formula suitable for all ages. 3. Teething rings are great for daytime but can distract babies from sleep on a night.

SCARBOROUGH TEACHER WINS NATIONAL COMPETITION

4. Vaseline is a winner for stopping nighttime soreness around the mouth. Don’t panic. If you have already managed to get your young one to sleep through the night and they’re now waking up, you may be dismayed at the thought of having to sleep train again. However, you should find that the second time is much easier.

Scarlet fever on the rise Generally, scarlet fever is rarer than it has been in previous years, but there have been a number of outbreaks recently amongst our kids. Scarlet fever is most commonly found in children under 10 years old. It’s important to catch signs of the bacteria caused illness so that early treatment can be given. Initial symptoms usually include a sore throat, headache, high temperature, flushed cheeks and a swollen tongue. A pinkish rash will appear a day or two later and can feel like sandpaper to touch. It will usually start on the tummy and chest.

K’NEX Teachers Build Futures Winner with Danielle Raw, School Governer Chris Baxter and Michael Taylor

By Krystal Starkey A Scarborough teacher has been selected as a winner in a national competition by a construction toy company. Michael Taylor, of Wheatcroft School in Scarborough, was nominated by pupil Danielle Raw for the K’NEX Teachers Build Futures award. The Scarborough pupil explained: “Mr Taylor is very funny and amazing at lots of things especially art. He is helping us get ready for SATS and he makes our work FUN. I know he likes KNEX because he already has two

boxes of them which he brought into school so we could enjoy playing with them so he'd love to have more.” Mr Taylor was surprised with news of his K’NEX Teachers Build Futures award during an assembly this week. He was presented with a K’NEX Education kit for his class to enjoy and Danielle was presented with a K’NEX Thrill Rides Double Doom coaster set. K’NEX is used in classrooms across the UK to bring to life Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths (STEM) concepts, and the Teachers Build Futures campaign asks pupils to nominate teachers who make learning fun. When his award was revealed, Mr Taylor said: “"I was overwhelmed to hear that I had won this award. As a teacher, my ultimate aim is to ensure that all children achieve their full potential in fun and exciting ways and I certainly wouldn't be able to do that without the support of the headteacher, leaders and colleagues at Wheatcroft Primary. The children here are all stars in their own way and you can see the love of learning in each and every one of them."” n To nominate a teacher who makes learning fun, email teachersbuildfutures@ knex.com - one winner will be picked every month.

Gladstone Road go ga ga for Radio Scarborough

Scarlet fever usually clears up after about a week, but if you think your little one may have it, see your GP for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. After symptoms show, children can be infectious for up to two weeks, unless they’ve had a course of antibiotics. Scarlet fever is highly contagious and outbreaks often occur in nurseries and schools where children are in close contact with one another. It used to be a very serious illness, but nowadays most cases are mild and can be easily treated with antibiotics – so it’s worth booking in with your GP if you think your child might have it. n If you hear anything helpful on the grapevine to do with our little ones, please get in touch! I’d love to hear about it and share with other parents of Scarborough. Email mya@yourlocallink.co.uk

We’re lucky here in Scarborough that there’s such a great selection to choose from, here are some of my recommended Nurseries and Pre-schools for you to consider for your little one. Harriet Watson and her class

PUPILS at Gladstone Road School were taking to the mic when Radio Scarborough made a special visit. DJ and presenter Mark Sinclair spent a day with pupils teaching them all about how local radio works and even giving them the opportunity to get a hands on experience. Mark said: “We have two pupils from the School, Evie and Tyler who often come into the studio so this idea to let more of their friends and class mates know what radio is all about came from there. “It was fantastic to see their reaction to having a studio set up within their school and they got the chance to interview each other, do a question and answer session and we even did a live link up back to the studio. “It was a lot of fun and I would like to thank all the teachers and pupils for being great on the day, and it was an absolute pleasure.” n To tune into Radio Scarborough go to: www.radioscarborough.co.uk

Duo take care ahead of charity cycle challenge

Grandma at the tour: A bouquet of flowers GRANDMA was so excited. Today the Tour de Yorkshire was coming. Many dozens of cyclists from many countries would be racing all round Yorkshire and finishing in Scarborough. They would ride down past the North Bay Railway and Peasholm Park, on through the middle of town, round South Bay and the headland, and finish at North Bay. Because she was so excited, Grandma awoke early and went down to North Bay on her bike, so she could get a good place to watch the end of the race. It was brilliant to be there in the morning sunshine. There was a lot of activity. Television cameras were there, from ITV and BBC, including the presenter Harry Gration, who often comes to Scarborough. Grandma found a great place to watch the finish of the race, and phoned Grandpa to tell him where she was. Grandpa was going down later with two of the grandchildren. Grandma looked around. There were dozens of people around her, waiting to watch the end of the race. Different groups of cyclists kept going past, including some disabled riders, so waiting definitely wasn't boring. Grandma wondered if she would recognise her favourite cyclist, Perrig Quemener, who was in the race. By the time Grandpa and the grandchildren arrived, there were hundreds of people around her, waiting to watch the end of the race. They were near to a big screen which showed where the cyclists were in Yorkshire, getting nearer and nearer to Scarborough. Then the cyclists entered Scarborough. Everyone cheered. Grandma had waited for this. She looked around. There seemed to be thousands of people around her, filling up all the space on the roadside and the grassy slopes. “Here they come!” The cyclists could be seen in the distance, quickly getting closer. “Come on Perrig!” The cyclists were so

close together, going so fast. In a flash they zipped past. The race was over. Perrig wasn't first in the race, but there were other prizes. There was a stage set up just opposite Grandma where these prizes, bouquets of flowers, were presented. Listen! What's that man saying? “The winner of the King of the Mountains award is ….... Perrig Quemener!!” He'd got a prize! Everyone clapped and shouted. Perrig threw his flowers into the crowd. The flowers were heading straight towards Grandma! She was going to get Perrig's bouquet! Her hands were open, ready to catch the flowers. And then … oh no! … just as those flowers were about to be caught by Grandma, a big boy next to her reached out and grabbed them. He caught the flowers which Grandma should have had! Around Grandma, everyone went quiet. It was a good catch, but those flowers should have gone to Grandma. She was upset. So were the grandchildren and Grandpa. She had been there all day. She had enjoyed the day and now her flowers had been whisked away from her at the last second. Wait a minute! Something is happening! The big boy is giving those flowers to Grandma. “Should have been yours,” he said. Spontaneous applause started around that big boy and Grandma. Everyone was so pleased, and the big boy's mummy was very proud of her son's kindness. So Grandma, Grandpa and two delighted grandchildren headed home. What a happy ending to a lovely day. They hoped the Tour de Yorkshire would come again to Scarborough next year, and guess what! It is!

He said: “It was back in 1968 I believe when I did my first ever paid for gig and it was here in Eastfield Community Centre. Back then they used to have dancing on a Thursday night and local agent Peter Pitts invited me along to DJ. “I have done loads of gigs here over the years and I was delighted to be asked to do the 50 year anniversary. “We had a fun day with lots going on and it was great to get the kids up dancing and getting involved.

Stephen Joseph Theatre appoints new Chief Executive

THE new Chief Executive of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, is Stephen Freeman (photographed above). Stephen joins the SJT from Arts Council England, where he has been Relationship Manager Theatre since 2011, following five years as the General Manager at the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. During that time he was also Festival Director for Pulse Festival, a showcase of new national and international work. Previously Stephen was producer for Stafford Festival Shakespeare and Artistic Programme Manager at the Gatehouse Theatre in Stafford. He will take up his post at the SJT towards the end of July; new Artistic Director Paul Robinson joins the SJT on 1 June from London’s Theatre503. Stephen says: “I am delighted to be joining

the SJT, an organisation with a rich and prolific history of producing work with a national and international reputation. It’s a privilege to play a role in the life of this organisation that is much loved by artists and audiences alike. I’m also looking forward to calling Scarborough my home and making the most of its extraordinary setting.” Stephen will be succeeding the SJT’s interim Chief Executive, Mathew Russell. Mathew joined the SJT in June 2015 for an initial six-month contract, but has stayed in post to oversee a year of significant change, which has seen the development of a new vision, operating model and business plan. As part of this organisational review, Mathew has spearheaded a range of developments at SJT and will stay in post until the end of June to ensure a smooth handover to Stephen and Paul Robinson. In the meantime, Mathew is also taking up the role of interim Director at Cast in Doncaster. Richard Grunwell, chair of the SJT Board, says: “I am delighted that the Board has appointed Stephen Freeman as our new Chief Executive. We have been really impressed by Stephen’s confidence in addressing a range of important strategic issues facing the SJT, practical experience in theatre management and the invaluable insight he offers into the 21st century British theatre ecology. “I’d also like to thank Mathew Russell for everything he has achieved at SJT in the last year and for extending his time with us. The range of changes he has led is making a real difference to the SJT’s sustainability and future success.”

Babies on the brain This month a rather broody editor talks about the joys of being a guide parent and what kind (of guide parent) she wants to be. I’m not a kid person. To be honest when Rosie told me she was pregnant I was over joyed for her, but I was also petrified. Never had I held a baby without it crying. Would her baby like me? Would I like her because she was created by my friend? Part of my fear of children is the responsibility that they come with. You can’t go out on a Friday night and return on the Sunday with a baby in toe. I mean I’m not even sure night clubs accept babies. When Rosie had her daughter I was in awe, she now knows something that I don’t. They say it’s inexplicable, the parental love you can feel for another being. I was so apprehensive when I went into the hospital. But when I met baby Coco, I was overcome with joy. She’s gorgeous. She’s got big wide eyes like her mum, but mostly takes after her dad, and she’s got really long arms and legs, like a little frog. She loves being swayed from side to side and only really cries when she’s not being fussed. We get on great, god: I’ve even changed her nappy without complaint. I feel like I’ve come a long way with Your Local Link. When I first wrote a column three years ago, I was talking about not going to university and the price of beans on toast. Now I have friends who are parents, I baby sit – I kind of know how to look after a baby now, haven’t you heard? It’s an important skill; I might put it on my CV. But the biggest achievement of all was when Rosie and Chris asked me to be Coco’s guide mother (yeah - it’s like godmother

but without religious affiliation). It’s a big decision; I’ve agreed to be a part of that little girl’s life, forever. And I’ve got some promises to make and some advice to give - I’d like to make to her in writing, right here, right now. So here goes. Coco, you’re so small now, but I see more of your mum and dad in you every day. I hope I prove a great asset in your life and you feel you can come to me in times of trouble. I promise to show you the same loyalty I have your parents. I will always be there when you need me. I will not buy you alcohol when you are underage, but I won’t grass you up to mum and dad if someone else does. Be careful of handsome boys in bands and watch out for judgemental teenage girls, don’t be one, but don’t let them phase you either. Don’t skip lessons to watch ninja warrior and don’t pluck your eyebrows out of shape. Squeezing spots is a slippery slope and you’re better off not knowing the strange satisfaction. Baz Luhrman was right – wear sunscreen. Forgiveness is the single most valuable skill I’ve learned in recent years. Be fickle, there’s nothing wrong with changing your mind on things once you receive different information – keep your thoughts fluid and your mind open. Remember that you are just as important as everyone else, and anyone who doesn’t see that, doesn’t deserve your time. And most of all, appreciate your parents. They’re wonderful human beings and I’m truly lucky to call them my friends.

meditation is cool Meditation got a make-over in recent years. It simply feels like everyone is doing it – Personally I’m a fan. I’ve recently taken up meditation. And I know that it sounds strange, but just hear me out a second. Russell Brand does it, Rupert Murdoch does and so does Ellen Degeneres. That list is by no means exhaustive - but to get my point, a lot of people are doing it. I was sceptical. It’s only right to be. But there’s nothing to believe in here, there isn’t a philosophy. Meditation has been linked to lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety and even improving immunity to illness. For me meditation has turned out to be a great coping mechanism for stress and anxiety whilst it also comes in handy for grounding myself after a crazy weekend. The first few times were pretty weird, I’d find myself replaying a horrendous made up situation or thinking about how much saturated fat I’d consumed in a given week. But with time and focus I learnt to let those strange thoughts breeze past without letting them wind me up. Since deciding to try out meditation I’ve felt energised and calm. I feel more appreciative and empathetic towards every aspect of my life. If you’re new to meditation but want to try it, there’s a host of free apps you can download onto your phone or classes you could take in Scarborough. I’ve put together a dead simple meditation exercise for beginners. First you’re going to want to sit or lie comfortably. Close your eyes and breathe naturally. Try and focus your attention on your breathing and the way your body moves as you inhale. Every time your mind wanders – don’t panic just return to your breathing. Your first time will probably only last a couple of minutes, it’s hard to focus for long periods of time when you’re not used to it. That’s all there is to it!

Faux

Artificial flowers are great because they are low maintenance, and can last for years. To keep them looking good, give them a dust or even lightly vacuum them (not too powerful). Some you can lightly sponge but I would test on an unseen area incase of discolouring. Also keep faux flowers out of direct sunlight as the sun will bleach the colour out of them. If you find your falsies are lacking that authentic scent, fear not, you can actually buy fake flowers scents. Peony stock a generous range for you to choose from. Visit www.peony.co.uk

Coconut oil has hit the beauty scene in a big way. It’s not for just one reason either. Here are seven other ways you can use coconut oil to your advantage.

Moisturizing Lips

Softening Cuticles

Removing Makeup

If your cuticles need a little T.L.C., apply the wonder oil as needed – it will soften them up in no time.

If you have trouble getting off that last bit of mascara, use a dab ofcoconut oil. Just be careful to not get it directly in your eyes.

Treating Dry Ends

Protecting Against shaving rash

Applying a small amount of oil to the ends of your hair works as a great split end remedy. Don’t apply before styling as it can essentially cook your hair if you apply heat.

Apply coconut oil before shaving to prevent irritation. Bonus: This shaving cream swap makes it easier to clean your razor.

Treating Acne

Exfoliating

Apply coconut oil to blemishes, and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Then wash it off with warm water and let your skin air dry. The anti-bacterial components in the oil will work to combat those pesky spots.

Coconut oil makes a great base for DIY body scrubs. Mix it with granulated sugar, and apply the concoction for some seriously smooth skin.

Coconut oil or lip balm? You decide. It tastes gorgeous and is great as an overnight treatment.

Rotating at the waist

Clenches

Crunches

Work on your booty covertly. Clench your buttocks and hold for ten seconds. Do five sets of eight reps. The beauty of this exercise is that your coworkers won’t have a clue that your even exercising.

Crunches aren’t very sly - maybe do on your lunch break. Move to the edge of your seat and lean back on the backrest. Lift your legs above the ground and raise your back a few inches off the backrest. Do eight reps.

Ankle rotations

Leg lifts

If you don’t have time to get yourself down to the gym then fear not you can still do a mini work out at your work desk.

Work towards the flexibility of your ankles to prevent sprain injuries. Rotate your ankles in both directions for five seconds. Do five sets of eight reps in each direction.

Strengthen your core by rotating at the waist in your chair. Rotate as far to the left as you can and hold for five seconds, then repeat on the right.

Keep both feet flat on the ground then alternatively lift your straight legs to the underside of your desk. Repeat 8 times.

Labour MEP gets energy smart with Scarborough British Gas apprentice

British Gas apprentice, Anton Frederiksen from Scarborough shows Labour MEP for Yorkshire and Humber, Richard Corbett, how smart energy monitors work

BY Krystal Starkey Richard Corbett, Labour MEP for Yorkshire and Humber, met the latest group of smart metering apprentices to start training at the British Gas Academy in Canal Street, Leeds. Scarborough Apprentice, Anton Frederiksen was one of the students who got to show Mr Corbett how the smart energy monitors work. Yorkshire and Humber MEP, Richard Corbett, said: "It was great to meet the trainees who will be responsible for this important work. Improving household energy efficiency across Europe is a crucial part of fighting climate change,” British Gas smart metering apprentice,

Anton Frederiksen, from Scarborough, said: "The training at the academy has been second to none and I've enjoyed showing Mr Corbett what I've learnt so far. It's a great feeling knowing I'll be helping customers in my local area to save energy with smart meters." In Yorkshire, British Gas has already installed around 195,000 smart meters in customers’ homes, and more than two million in British homes. Smart meters are also being rolled out across the rest of Europe. The EU aims to replace at least 80 per cent of electricity meters with smart meters by 2020. n For further information on smart meters, visit www.britishgas.co.uk/smart

Scarborough Review, May - Issue 33 35

Lots of laughs at new comedy club by Steve Asker steve@radioscarborough.co.uk A TUESDAY night in April marked the arrival of the Comedy Bee Comedy Club in Scarborough, and the first venue to host were The Rivelyn Hotel (Clifton Road). The club had held two successful comedy nights in Bridlington and were very excited but also nervous about expanding to Scarborough. By eight o’clock the audience are all in their seats and eagerly awaiting the arrival of tonight’s compere, Lee Bennett, who arrives to the stage and works the room well interacting with the crowd wherever possible and delivering very funny anecdotes on his experiences working abroad in the summers, growing up in Manchester, Living in Bridlington and looking like Kevin Bridges identical twin. Lee introduces Alfie Moore to the stage. Alfie is a policeman and presents BBC Radio 4’s ‘It’s a fair cop.' He shares with the crowd funny stories and incidents from over 20 years on the force and how unlucky and clueless he is with the ladies, leaving the crowd in stitches and wanting more going into the first interval. The second part of the show is here and Lee is back on stage and has the crowd exactly where he wants them, he’s teasing, and clearly everyone loves it, including Lee, he takes a particular shining to a lady in the second row who admits she’s single and into the Kevin Bridges look! He then introduces the second act of the night Tommy Taylor. Tommy is 20 and rather new to stand up comedy but he arrives on stage with his little Cassio keyboard along with his adopted sweaty and nervous persona and delivers a hilarious fifteen minute set consisting of 20second songs, playing with his hair and trying to find out why people think he’s strange. Going into the second break the

Tony Burgess on stage crowd are all smiles knowing who they are going to see next. Part three, and Lee is back on stage finishing his routine, but mainly flirting. Its time for the headline act, “Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome your headliner this evening, Mr Tony Burgess!” Tony is a very experienced comic and never seems to stop touring, people may recognise him from TV sitcom ‘Ideal’ which he was one of the writers on and starred along side one of his best friends ‘Jonny Vegas.' All in all the night was a huge success, pretty much a sell out. We are yet to announce our next date and line up in Scarborough but our next Bridlington night is Wednesday 4 May at Bridlington BSCC, with compere ‘Big Lou’ Headliner Daliso Chaponda, and four other comics, including myself. For all details please like The Comedy Bee Clubs Facebook pages: Comedy In Scarborough, and Comedy In Bridlinton, and we hope to be making you laugh very soon!

the prize’. “This shows the presumptuousness of the gas companies and their political backers, not to mention the fact that they are only interested in one thing: profit,” said John Atkinson of Frack Free Scarborough (FFS). “Our health and welfare is not a financial prize to be handed to the highest bidder. This is not a battle we can fight twice. Once the aquifer - our drinking water - is polluted, the damage is done.” He was referring to the enormous natural, underground aquifer where much of the area’s water comes from. FFS was joined in protest by concerned locals and other anti-frackers. OESG chief executive Lee Petts said: “With the potential for the oil and gas industry to really take off in the north of England, with the award of the Round 14 licences, we wanted to make sure that Yorkshire businesses were well-placed to take advantage of the opportunities that come their way.” About a dozen licences for fracking exploration have been granted in North Yorkshire.

About 100 protestors gathered at a fracking conference at Scarborough Spa on Monday. In a cold wind and rain, they waved placards and banners denouncing fracking as dangerous and environmentally destructive. Artist Gaby Naptali drew a line in the sand on the south beach to symbolise a point which should not be passed. Green Party councillor Mark Vesey said: “Fracking is being fought in every community where it is planned and with good reason, as there is overwhelming evidence in America that this industry can pollute water supplies and affect air quality. “We don’t want anyone coming to Scarborough promoting an industry that threatens our beautiful countryside and so callously puts profit before people and the planet”, said Cllr Vesey.

Demolition ball hovers over historic theatre Words & recent photos by Dave Barry The sad, abandoned hulk that is the Futurist Theatre has countless tales to tell. Now destined for demolition, the theatre acquired its ugly yellow cladding in 1969, when its handsome marble façade was deemed old hat. However, the hidden marble is intact, apart from a few chips here and there, hammered away to fit the cladding. A legion of doughty campaigners remain hopeful that the Futurist can still be saved and recently came up with a 76-page business plan to save it, despite Historic England’s rejection of a third appeal in January. A geophysical survey has suggested that the building could be playing a vital role in holding Bland’s Cliff and King Street in place. This means there is an outside chance that the town hall could subside and slip down the slope if the council’s intention to get rid of the Futurist is achieved. In 2014, Flamingoland said it was interested in putting a theme park on the site. The place has been broken into at least four times since it closed; the burglars posted photos on the 28DaysLater website. Until it closed in 2014, the Futurist, with a capacity of 2,155, was the UK’s fifth biggest theatre outside the West End and the biggest single-screen cinema in the country. The Odeon in London’s Leicester Square had claimed this distinction and was obliged to remove a large sign staking its erroneous claim, recalls the Futurist’s last manager, Andrew Nesbit. In its heyday, queues of cinemagoers stretched up Bland’s Cliff for the circle and along Foreshore Road for the stalls. A second entrance to the stalls, partway up the King Street steps, was used occasionally. The Futurist site has a complicated history. The yellow cladding covers three buildings, all designed by Scarborough architect Frank Tugwell and adorned with cream Carrara marble in the Italian Renaissance style. On the left, facing them, is the Futurist, which opened as a cinema in 1921. Next is the second Arcadia Theatre, which opened as the Palladium Picture House in 1912. On the old photo, above the word Revelry, the words Picture, Palladium and House can be seen, faintly, in the faience. “I suspect they are still there, behind the yellow cladding,” says Chris Hall, former conservation officer at the town hall. The third building is the Arcadian restaurant or buffet. In 1920, when the Futurist was being built, Catlin’s original Arcadia of 1909 was demolished and the Palladium renamed the Arcadia. It began to present live shows, finishing in 1968. The Futurist had live shows from the outset but they predominated from 1958. Investments in the stage in 1959 and 1967, which expanded the backstage over much of the second Arcadia, aka the Palladium, allowed more elaborate presentations. So there have been two cinemas there, both of which were subsequently converted to mainly live theatre use. The 3,000-seat Futurist Super Cinema, as it was known when it opened, cost £80,000 and featured an ‘American ice cream and soda fountain saloon’ on the ground floor. It was built on the first Arcadia site with a stage which was used on many occasions - mainly on Sundays when films were not

permitted, but also during the week. On 18 November 1927, Anna Pavlova, Laurent Novikoff and the corps de ballet and orchestra from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden presented an evening of ballet. In 1958 the entire summer season was given over to a live performances - The Cyril Catlin’s Arcadia, between 1909 and 1920 Stapleton Show - on the original stage. At the end of the season, the theatre closed to extend the stage and improve the backstage area. It reopened the following June with Cyril Stapleton and Frankie Howerd. The bigger stage allowed the popular Black and White Minstrel Show to perform there many times when the theatre was owned, from 1966-74, by Robert Luff, the producer of the stage version. The Beatles performed there twice, in 1963 and 1964. Films were reintroduced in 1968 when 70mm projection facilities were installed. “Until then, the cinema was still using the original carbon-arc projectors, presumably because of the long throw needed to The Futurist, Palladium Picture House and Arcadian restaurant illuminate the screen from the rear of the auditorium,” says Mike Park, who worked there. During the 1980s, Scarborough Council took over the property and leased it to Apollo Leisure, who ran it until 2002. Then Barrie and Brenda Stead, who also run the Hollywood Plaza cinema, took over and refurbished it, installing new projectors, a Dolby sound system and a CinemaScope screen. In the 1990s, every July and August, there was a season with usually the same acts every week. Under the Steads, the Futurist had West End musicals, top comedians and entertainers like Gary Barlow. The original Arcadia opened in 1909 on a site which had been an amusement park The big arch is now hidden by yellow cladding and exotic garden, by the same name. It had a movable roof, a bit like centre court at Wimbledon, facilitating partly covered and outdoor shows. The Palladium Picture House was built on a site between the Arcadian restaurant on the corner of Blands Cliff (where the Sheffield Arms pub stood until 1911) and the 2,500seat first Arcadia Theatre, later the site of the Futurist. When it opened in 1912, entertainment A tram stops outside the Futurist. impresario Will Catlin (1871-1953) called it “the most up-to-date picture theatre in the country” with “luxurious seating” on a raked floor so everyone could see. When the first Arcadia Theatre closed to allow the building of the Futurist, a stage was added to the Palladium, which when reopened in 1921 took the Arcadia name and Paul McCartney evades fans became mainly a theatre, showing films only when arriving for a Beatles occasionally. concert. Blands Cliff is in The Futurist on its last night, 5 the background. It closed for a month in 1921, for a stage to be January 2014 added, reopening as the Arcadia Theatre and showing films only occasionally. To further confuse matters, the Futurist was initially going to be called the Arcadia but this was changed during the planning stage to the Majestic and finally the Futurist. * Article compiled with the help of Ian Grundy, Chris Hall, Andrew Nesbit, Mike Park and the Scarborough Bottom End and Old Town Facebook page.

conscription when their family, friends, the press, public opinion and the government were all pressuring them to give in. The Huddersfield area had many such men. Many spent the war in prison or in government work camps, rather than compromise their moral principles. For Conscience Sake will be performed by Plain Quakers Theatre, who support the aims of Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW), the Peace Education Network, the Northern Friends Peace Board, ForcesWatch and Veterans for Peace. The Quaker response at the start of World War One was mixed. It is well known that Quakers were divided on the question of war service. Some young Quakers joined up but the Friends Ambulance Unit, formed in 1914, provided others with an opportunity for noncombatant service. The performance, which is due to begin at 2pm, will be at the Friends Meeting House, near the hospital. It will follow a worship meeting (10.3011.30am) and a vegetarian lunch (12-1.30pm). Tickets cost £4 and can be bought at the Meeting House or booked by ringing 362756. There will be a collection for the work of QPSW. n Website: www.facebook.com/ plainquakerstheatre.

A play about conscientious objectors in World War One will be performed in Scarborough on Sunday 22 May. For Conscience Sake is set against the backdrop of today’s growing militarisation. It commemorates the opposition of Quakers and others to the introduction of conscription in 1916. When Morris, a would-be thespian and unrepentant curmudgeon, tries to unravel the story of his grandfather’s heroic exploits in the Great War, he is faced with a surprise. His unlikely buddy, Albert, unsuccessful author and Quaker enthusiast, attempts to ease the pain by arguing that we should remember the courageous conscientious objectors who resisted conscription in 1916. If more had done the same, perhaps millions of lives could have been saved. Unconvinced, Morris stubbornly defends what his grandfather did for king and country, until Albert unearths documents that reveal a disturbing truth. The play is set in the present, but looks back to the past where, in a small mill town south of Huddersfield, two brothers are faced with the call to arms. It draws on real events to explore the tensions and confusions that must have been in the minds of the men who resisted

Full Nelson set to rock the Evron Centre

Full nelson front man Gary Luntley

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk FULL Nelson, which formed last year, is a tribute to Willie Nelson who is still touring at 83, and who has a sixty year catalogue of hits and songs he's written. They are a live band recreating the look and sound of Willie and his family of musicians. Willie Nelson is without doubt one of the most recognisable figures in country music in the world. Together with his ‘family’ band Willie has scored mega hits, both singles and albums, on both sides of the Atlantic. Not only has he dueted with many huge

names in music, he has starred in countless films and is still recording hit country albums. With Gary Luntley up front with a convincing and compelling take on Willie, Full Nelson recreates the might, phenomena and legend that is a Willie Nelson live show. Not only sound-alike but look-alike, this live band pays homage playing hits and album tracks spanning Willie’s six decade career. With full harmonies, wailing harmonica, Hammond stabs, slick guitar riffs and of course, Willie’s unique playing and singing style, no Willie fan will be disappointed. Hits like ‘On the Road again and ‘Always on my Mind’ - Classics like Whisky River and ‘City of New Orleans’ - Willie duets with Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash? You get the picture. Gary Luntley, as Willie, is joined by Joe Dunn on bass, Ian James on drums and vocals, Al Lawrence playing superb harmonica, and John Dickinson on keyboards. n Full Nelson are at the Evron Centre, Filey on June 3 and July 1, and at the Kirk Theatre, Pickering on June 18.

by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk A LOCAL Scarborough man who wrote an award winning charity song is set for his TV debut. Neil Fitzpatrick, who raised more than £26,500 for Cancer Research UK with his emotive ballad Apart, will appear with former Radio 1 DJ, Mike Read in a new TV series about songwriters, called Tin Pan Alley. Neil's song, which won the UK International Song Contest in 2014, was selected from more than 600 songs by a panel of prolific music producers and songwriters. Neil, who lives in East Ayton said his house was turned into a TV studio when Mike and his camera crew arrived and filmed him for the series. He said: "Obviously this is wonderful news and completely out of the blue, and, if I'm successful, will mean exposure to a much larger audience, which I'm hoping will result in more sales and more

money for Cancer Research UK.” The song, which Neil decided to release after losing his Dad to cancer in 2013, has also been selected to be shown at this year's South by South West Festival in Austin, Texas on March 18th - 19th. Neil added: "On the same day I found out about the TV show, I received an email saying that the video would be played at South by South West, which is just about the biggest music event in the US, and is attended by over 400,000 people.” The song features Liverpool vocalist Michelle Lawson, Helium Strings and Wakefield Community Gospel Choir, and has been supported by over 100 volunteers. Apart is available to buy at www.apartsong. co.uk and on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Google Play. ALL proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. You can also donate to the Apart Project by texting APAR50 £1 (or £2, £3, £4, £5, £10) to 70070.

THE sensational organist, Howard Beaumont is getting set for his 29th season at Scarborough Spa. Running from 8 June to 8 September, Howard will perform three times a week across the seaside venue. With the Afternoon Music sessions, running on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons (2.30pm), guests can enjoy toe tapping showstoppers and light classics whilst in the beautiful surroundings of The Spa’s Suncourt. On Friday mornings Howard hosts a Coffee Dance, which takes place between 10.30am – 12.30pm. Featuring a full programme

of Ballroom, Latin, Old Time and Popular Sequence Dancing guests can glide around the dance floor or relax at the table whilst enjoying the music. Howard has been entertaining locals and tourists alike for over two decades as part of The Spa’s summer season. He was recently featured on Channel 4’s ‘Discovering Britain’, and is also a regular star of BBC Radio 2's The Organist Entertains. It’s certainly clear to see why he’s called ‘King of The Keyboards’. Howard said “I am highly delighted to be returning for my 29th season at The Spa. This ties in nicely with me celebrating 50 years as a professional musician. During the course of the season I will be reflecting on my career with amusing anecdotes of my life as an entertainer.” With his musical talent and lively sense of humour, Howard is sure to provide a great day of entertainment. Tickets for Howard Beaumont’s concerts are priced at £3.50 per person, and are available on the door, or from The Spa’s Box Office (01723) 821888.

Tafat keep it brief by Dave Barry Tafat, a small community theatre company, ran a drop-in writing and poetry workshop at Woodend during Scarborough’s Books by the Beach festival. Participants contributed a piece of writing such as a poem, a scribble, a short story or a creative thought on a piece of card the size of a playing card. The cards were collected and may be put together as a collection for publication. At the same time, Wanda Maciusko and

David Lewis launched Scarborough Cultural Collective, as a platform to encourage and support writers and creatives from a diverse background. David said: “We feel there is much unexplored diversity in the Scarborough area that tends to be ignored or overlooked. We would like to see if we can provide a way of embracing this diversity.” The event was sponsored by Richard Booth Wealth Management of Woodend. Tafat produced One Day in December in Westborough in 2014.

Probably too many ideas and options cluttering up your mind at the moment, so be methodical in sorting out your priorities, then do your best to tackle one job at a time. While I wouldn’t describe this as being an excitingly romantic month, it is a good time for building bricks and laying down foundation stones that keep relationships safe and sound. A partner or spouse will respond favourably to these overtures. The mood of restlessness prevalent in April does not subside in May – indeed in many ways it gets a lot

stronger, pushing you into actually doing something instead of just talking (or dreaming) about it. Don’t be afraid to take the lead, for others will follow! The 5th, 6th and 19th are particularly thoughtful days when you assess your achievements with a mixed degree of pride and nostalgia for days gone by, but it also at this time that you will acquire a clearer vision of your own mid and long term future. Also around May 5th there should be at least one important family reunion.

GEMINI

loses, and that’s got to be worth something. The events of the first three weeks lead you towards making some kind of blind choice in week four; you won’t know what to do, so you might as well toss a coin.

22ND MAY - 21ST JUN

A month of many readjustments as you come to grips with new domestic routines and family situations. Lots of support from within your close circle of friends and colleagues, and although it may be a bit of a slog, you’ll take a number of leaps and bounds forwards. Put off making major decisions until you know exactly what you want.

Quite a good money month with some changes to work routines and responsibilities around the 8th. Long distance travel projects being planned, and some thought given (by some of you) to the idea of buying property as an investment. Ladies should beware of bad pennies popping up from their past. Guys will regret making undeliverable promises.

LEO 23RD JUL - 23rD AUG

A bit of a messy month with a number of different situations demanding priority. Buying and selling will be relevant for some, while others will be spending cash on property and renovation. Conflict with a lover or partner on a matter of principle should be avoided, for there are arguments here that no one can win.

VIRGO 24th AUG - 22nD SEP A romantic reunion for some with an enjoyable boost to your love life. Ladies will feel confident and assertive, and guys, it would serve you well to be open to new ideas. Some mischief and humour suggests that no matter what you do or expect, things will not go according to plan, and there will be a few surprises waiting for you around the corner.

LIBRA 23rd SEP - 23RD OCT You need to rely on your own judgement during the first week, and expect some hassle with red tape. The second week of the month is all about money and some exciting new job prospects. Week three sees you taking a stride towards the fulfilment of an ambition, but then in week four there’ll be set-backs, disappointments and delays. Not your fault.

SCORPIO 24TH OCT - 22ND NOV

In a conflict situation someone will offer you a compromise and although it won’t sit well with you, you really do need to accept it. No one wins, but no one

SAGITTARIUS 23RD NOV - 21ST DEC

A busy and profitable period gives your finances a boost, not enough to buy you a mink or a Merc, but enough to distract you from some of the deeper philosophical thoughts boinging around in your brain at this time. Money spent on a luxury item looks likely, probably around the 11th or the 20th but after only a short time, you’ll wonder why you bought it.

CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 20TH JAN

Some extra sparkle added to your social life on or around the 5th, and while you’ll feel reasonably cheerful and confident where money matters are concerned, monitor your spending and don’t bend plastic. A good time on the work scene, where your efforts will be noticed and appreciated. A tempting travel opportunity raises its head around the 22nd.

AQUARIUS 21st jan - 18th feb In dealing with a lover or partner, tact and diplomacy probably hasn’t worked, so now is the time to be open and very direct… not aggressive or angry, but none too subtle either! If compromises have to be made, fine, but let someone meet you half way first! Be warned, however, that you can lead a horse to the water but you can’t make the damn thing drink.

PISCES 19th feb - 20th mar Cool logic and common sense are your better friends than gut feelings and intuition. So, pay heed to this energy and work with it. Money spent on social aspects and entertainment, also on clothes and a few personal luxuries, should be seen as an investment in yourself. Something you thought you’d lost will be returned to you – but will you still want it?

ARIES 21ST MAR - 20TH APR Unexpected guests or visitors who outstay their welcome may cause some domestic disturbance, especially between the 11th and the 18th. Problems with transport drains some of your financial reserves as you have to pay more than you’d budgeted for to get from A to B. Most Arians will be in a “put up and shut up” mood where job routines are concerned.

Special date for Scarborough football and boxing

Review

Scarborough Review, May - Issue 33 49

Kingfishers land some top trophies Pictures by Dave Kettlewell

Ant Taylor (left) and Jerry Scott of Radio Scarborough (right) with their guest at the time the Yorkshire Hunter Paul Ingle CELEBRATE this fact. It's been a while since a Scarborough football side has reached a cup final. The last one was in 1977 against Dagenham and we won 2-1. Ok Farsley Celtic's Throstle Nest is not a day out at Wembley but a final is a final and there's a cup to be won. So I was thinking how can we commemorate the two events, so I got on to social media to get suggestions. I do think that singing on the 29th minute was a good suggestion from a few of the fans, so I'll be at Farsley tonight bellowing out songs for Scarborough Athletic and for Paul Ingle who was our champion who went to battle 16 years ago today at the world famous Madison Square Garden against Junior Jones for the World Featherweight Title - how many Scarborians can say that!

I do think we should celebrate his talent and with the two George's Horner and Rhodes not to mention my cousin Shaun Ireland and the guys before them Chris Hooper and Danny Price. It just shows the testament of Ingle and Scarborough's boxing history. Even my two brothers Mally Ireland and Craig Taylor, who sparred with Ingle back in the day, Paul still says Craig had a wicked punch and could of gone a long way. I really can't wait to get to the match tonight (29 April) and cheer on The Seadogs and do my bit for Scarborough. To all that are travelling to the match we will stick a flag in the ground and claim this plot of West Yorkshire for Scarborough with an almighty cheer of NO BATTLE NO VICTORY!

The Kingishers group at South Cliff Golf Club

The open water winners KINGFISHERS Swimming Club had plenty to celebrate at their annual presentation evening. The event was held at South Cliff Golf Club and very ably delivered by the clubs long standing master of ceremonies Mr Pete Wilkinson.

FROM THE SIDELINES A Review of the Local Soccer Scene with Steve Adamson

WEST PIER CLINCH TITLE

Andy Spivey’s West Pier have won the District League first division championship, with a stunning 16 match unbeaten run (14 wins, 2 draws). They almost lost their unbeaten record when trailing 4-1 to Edgehill, but recovered to snatch a 4-4 draw, and then thrashed Sleights 15-0 with Billy Logan smashing in six of the goals. Another great fightback saw them overcome a 0-2 defecit to beat Hunmanby United 3-2 with strikes from Shaun Dodson, Will Jenkinson and Martin Cooper, and this was followed by a 2-0 win against last season’s champions Newlands Park, when Neil Thomas and Paul Provins were the scorers. Edgehill were 2nd in the table after Tom Scales and Danny Collins netted in a 2-1 win against Westover Wasps, and then Jackson Jowett 2 and Wayne Aziz were the marksmen in a 3-2 defeat of Seamer Sports. Hunmanby United’s great season continued, as they climbed to 3rd in the table, Cameron Dobson scoring twice in a 5-1 win against Seamer, then Dobson struck four and Ryan Baldry contributed a hat tick in an 11-0 thrashing of Cayton Corinthians. Hunmanby then swept to a 4-0 win against Edgehill, with strikes from James Pinder, Leigh Franks, Oli Milner and Jon Hyde. Cayton Corinthians secured an impressive 2-0 win against Newlands, with goals from Harry Sleep and Scott Davison, and Ryan Braithwaite netted twice as Whitby Fishermen beat Filey Town 4-0. Sleights stunned Newlands with an 8-3 success, and Seamer Sports came from 0-2 down to beat Cayton 5-3, with goals from Ben Mason, Gary Lawton, Joe Gallagher, Ali Caw and Jamie Hartley.

NEWLANDS CLINCH LEAGUE CUP

After two postponements due to waterlogged pitches, the Coatal Shellfish League Cup final finally went ahead at Pickering on 20 April. Shaun Mancrief’s Newlands Park raced into a 2-0 lead within twenty minutes, through a Drwew McCoubrey spot kick and a Jamie Gallagher strike, and although Danny Collins pulled a goal back for Edgehill ten minutes from time, Newlands held out for a well deserved 2-1 success. Veteren Newlands defender Paddy Mancrief won the ‘Steve Coulson Memorial Trophy’ after being named man of the match.

SECOND DIVISION TITLE TO NEWLANDS RES

Newlands Park Reserves won the District League second division title in some style,winning 17 and drawing 2 of their opening 19 league matches. Liam Buglass scored twice in a 6-0 win at Scalby on 2 April, then Drew McCoubrey netted 5(1pen) in the return nmatch against

Scalby which Newlands won 6-2 seven days later. Newlands then fought back from 1-3 down to beat Duchess 7-4, with strikes from Stu Bates 3, Jason Prosser 2, Hugh Brown and Drew McCoubrey. Seamer Reserves clinched runners-up spot with Darren Hastie and Arran Wright both scoring twice in a 4-3 win at bottom side Snainton, and Kyle O’Toole hit a hat trick as West Pier Reserves were beaten 7-2. Filey Town Res look set to finish 3rd, after Martyn Jenkinson and Jon Gage scored to secure a 2-1 win at Cayton Reserves, while Rob Speight netted five goals as West Pier Res beat Scalby 6-5 and the botton two teams, Ayton and Snainton fought out a 3-3 draw.

HARBOUR CUP FINAL

CUP FINAL ARRANGEMENTS DISTRICT CUP FINAL April 27 at Pickering, kick-off 7pm Kirkbymoorside v West Pier.

Liam Salt’s Trafalgar have clinched the Sunday League first division title for the tenth time in the last twelve seasons. On target in a 7-1 win against West Pier were Sean Exley 3, Dean Craig 2, George Rose and Liam Vasey, and though nearest rivals Newlands trounced Commercial 22-1, with Ryan Rivis 7, Ryan Cooper 5 and Jacob Codling 4 amongst the goals, a 6 point deduction for Newlands for fielding two ineligible players, meant that Traf could not be caught at the top of the table. Prior to that defeat to Newlands, West Pier had racked up a couple of high-scoring victoriers, beating bottom side Barrowcliff 11-1, with Rob Speight scoring a hat trick, and then thrashing Commercial 19-0, with Joe Gallagher scoring seven and Kyle O’Toole chipping in with four.

ANOTHER TITLE FOR TRAF RESERVES

Trafalgar Reserves have been crowned Sunday League second division champions for the fourth successive season. Sam Pickard struck a hat trick in a 7-1 defeat of Ayton, then Luke Jones and Danny Glendinning both scored twice in a 4-2 win against Newlands Reserves. Next came a 4-2 success against Crown Tavern, when Luke Jones netted twice(1pen), followed by a 9-1 romp against Scarborough Campus (hat trick for Glendinning),and they clinched the title with a 4-0 win against FILO, with

strikes from Danny Glendinning 2, Chris Cass and Luke Jones. Whitby side FILO look set to finish as runners-up after they won 5-2 at Scarborough Campus, but Ayton were also looking for a promotion spot, after sneaking home 5-4 against Barrowcliff Res with goals from Ben Mason 2, Niall Prentice, Louis Rafter and Mike Graysham. Newlands Res won 8-1 against Crown Tavern, with Eric Hall scoring four, and Cayton beat Alma 12-0 with goals from Danny Collins 4, Isaac Sands 3, Harry Sleep 2, Ethan Ingle, Tyler Hanoon and Jon Hodgson.

KENWARD CUP

Luke Delve scored two spot kicks in his hat trick, and Cameron Dobson was also on the scoresheet as West Pier beat Fylingdales 4-2 in the semi-finals. The other semi-final saw Newlands win 2-1 against Trafalgar, but they were then disqualified for playing ineligible players, leaving Trafalgar to take their place in the final. Amazingly Traf have reached the final without winning a game, as they had a first round walkover against Barrowcliff. The final is at Sherburn on Sunday, 8 May, kick-off 11am.

Bennett shows top form golfing review by derrick arden

The victorious Blues team line up before the fans game

Dean Lisles has been a star performer for Athletic in recent weeks

by Will Baines SCARBOROUGH Athletic saw the curtain come down on the league season last weekend with a disappointing 3-0 defeat away to Burscough, leaving the Seadogs to finish in 20th place in the table, just above the relegation zone. After a superb start way back in August, Boro have gone from bad to worse and major changes are needed to the team over the summer to turn around their fortunes next season. April began with a 3-2 defeat to Witton Albion, as a double from Rob Hopley and a lobbed finish from Alex Titchiner helped the visitors to all three points at Queensgate. Hopley got the ball rolling as he capitalised on a mistake from debutant keeper Max Dearnley to give the visitors the lead, but a composed finish from Boro winger Jamie Forrester to turn in a low cross brought the scores level. Witton quickly regained the lead minutes later though as Alex Titchiner lobbed Dearnley to cap a mad first thirty minutes. Glenn Matthews sparked hopes of a comeback for the home side with a late header, but Witton held on to get the win to complete the double over the Seadogs. Next up an Alex Newby goal was the difference in a 1-0 win for Kendal Town as for all the Seadogs pressure, they could not score a goal. Boro did show some fight away at Lancaster City in a 1-1 draw, as despite going behind to a Neil Marshall goal midway through the first half, Athletic defender Dean Lisles took matters into his own hands with a 40-yard run and excellent strike into the bottom corner to earn his side a point. The final home game of the season saw Jacob Gregory score the only goal to give Lancaster City a comfortable win over Steve Kittrick’s side. In a game of few chances, the Dolly Blues winger glided past the home defence midway

through the second half to fire past the despairing dive of Boro keeper Matt Glennon. The home side threatened a comeback with ten minutes to go as home sub Ryan Blott headed wide then Eddy Birch had a shot blocked followed by Niall Flint firing just wide on the half-volley, but again Boro could not hit the target and fell to defeat. The season ended with two away trips to Mossley and Burscough, both ending in defeats as Boro limped to the end of the season. There is the League Cup Final still to come on Friday 29 April, to see if Athletic can finish the season with some silverware to give the Boro fans something to cheer about! Boro boss Steve Kittrick will reflect on job done as he has steered his side to safety after arriving in January, but he will be under no illusions as to the changes that have to be made for the club to have an improved campaign in 2016/17. Kittrick needs to find a striker who can hit the back of the net, as well as lifting the quality throughout his side to enable them to compete. It will soon be July when pre-season begins to start things all over.

Blues edge annual fans game The Annual Scarborough Athletic fans game proved an even tussle, with just a single goal separating the two sides as the Blues sealed a 1-0 win. Raising £500 for the club, the game took place after the final home game of the season at Queensgate. The game featured former Scarborough FC player Matty Silk, Boro Under-21s manager Steve Roberts and Club Director Geoff Osguthorpe. Osguthorpe said: “It was a great game again this year, with both sides eager to claim bragging rights. Thank you to everyone who took part to make the event a success.”

Under-15s players advance A quartet of Scarborough Athletic Under-15 players have made it into the North Yorkshire Schools setup. Tom Cammish, James Skelton, Dylan Muggeson-Forbes and Reo Smith were selected in the squad of 32 from an initial group of 60 to be put through their paces in a number of games against sides from across the North of England. Scarborough Athletic Head of Youth Development Nigel Carson said: “It’s great to see the progress all of the lads have made to become part of the North Yorkshire Schools setup. The initial trial was a very high standard so it is a fantastic achievement for all four players to be picked in the squad.”

Steve Pybus this is to go with Ganton march on. THE weather played havoc with the local golf scene in the middle of the month with many competitions being cancelled due to water-logged courses but North Cliff managed to hold a non-qualifying medal with some bunkers not in play and placing on the fairway. The day itself was bright and sunny but the softness of the ground meant the course played very long. In Division One Steve Bennett (5) made things look easier than they were with a net 69. His back nine was excellent with birdies at the 10th & 13th holes plus 7 pars, great play. Four players came in with net 72’s, Adam Jackson (7), Seb Wiffen (6), both of whom ran into difficulties on the second hole, Simon Boddy (0) a level par round a brilliant performance on such a difficult day & Paul Draycott (5) who played well and sunk one or two cracking par putts. Chris Moore (10) took the honours in Division Two with a nett 70, a double bogey at the 6th might have derailed his round but he bounced back with a birdie at the seventh and then played very steadily throughout. Tony Chapman (13) ran him close posting a net 71 and but for a double bogey and bogey finish it could have been much better. Marco Masucci (15) and Mark Leppington (14) carded 73’s. Division Three once again produced the best scores of the day, first place went to Garry Buck (27) with a score of net 65 after a count back put him ahead of Dave Foster (17) who also finished on the same score. Ben Fisher (24) carded a nice net 68 and edged out Paul Marsh (16) into fourth place after another count back. So despite the conditions some good scores and everyone happy to be out in the fresh air. SOUTH CLIFF LADIES WIN THROUGH TO 4th ROUND IN "MAIL ON SUNDAY" The Team from South Cliff are now playing for a place in the 5th Round on Saturday against Kirkbymoorside. Having a Bye in the First Round they went on to beat Driffield in the Second Round and Ganton in the Third Round.

Brian keep his wits to win division one North Cliff played their first qualifying medal of the season at the start of the month and the watery sunshine brought out the best in the North Cliff division large field. There one winner Brian was also the chance Witty to book a spot in the Summer Match Play competition as the players posting the best 32 scores went into the draw. Brian Witty (6) took top spot in division 1 with a net 68 after a very good round that included 2 birdies at the third and fourth holes plus 12 pars. Second was Paul Draycott (6) on net 71 a score that could

have been better but for a couple of double bogeys. Steve Bennett (5) finished third at net 72 with Martin Laidler (4) one shot further back in fourth. In Division 2 Mark Leppington (16) posted a score of net 66 for first place, the only blemish on his card being a double bogey 6 at the last. Nick Timmins (11) just edged out Brian Messruther (12) after a count back both having shot net 68 with youngster George Bell (14) close behind them on net 69. Division 3 produced the best score of the day when Ben Fisher (28) completed his round on net 62, he will be playing off 24 next time out. Second place in the division went to Neil Dobson (24) with a net 66 and Shaun Lofthouse (27) claimed third place with a net 69, both men saw their handicaps reduced by 2 shots as a result of their good play.

Barkley comes out top in Filey The Filey G.C. rabbits were in action competing for the Greenwood Cup when Tom Barkley (26) came out on top of the tree with a net 66 after a steady round when he wisely made full use of his shot allowance. John Rhodes (20) was his closest challenger with a score of net 68. Third place went to Kevin Vasey (18) after a count back from Barry Dixon (20) both players having posted net 70. Two scores at net 72 were handed in by John Walker (19) and Shaun Flinton (18).

Ganton march on The Mail on Sunday national team championship competition brought local rivals Ganton and North Cliff head to head. The Ganton golf course was in excellent condition, as is the norm and the weather was reasonable. The match consisted of five singles and as expected the games were keenly fought affairs but the Ganton team made full use of their local knowledge, especially on the greens, to run out winners by 3.5 to 1.5 points. First off were Steve Atkinson (3) and North Cliffs Andy Allcock (2) and after a nip and tuck round Steve chalked up Gantons first point by the narrowest of margins at 1 up. Previous North Cliff member Steve Pybus (1) then took on his old team mate Dave Ellard (6) and managed to close out the game on the 17th green for a 2&1 victory. Next up was the very experienced Nick Bristowe (5) against young junior player Tom Duck (4), despite playing some very good golf Tom could not upset Nicks rythm and had to concede defeat at 3&2 to give Ganton the third and decisive point. North Cliff regular Paul Draycott (6) was still out on the course and after 9 holes was 7 up against Andy Chapman but then had to hold his nerve as Andy came storming back. After an intriguing game Draycott sealed a point for North Cliff winning 3&2. The last game between Gantons Charlie Adcock (3) and Dave Raybould (2) ended in a tie and half a point each. So Ganton march on into the next round with confidence high. North Cliff staged their Potter Cup competition on Sunday and despite the course playing very long in the prevailing conditions the scoring was good and very close. James Hunter (6) & Chris Wharton (15), who are proving to be a formidable pairing, took first place with a net score of 70.5 but only just won on the count back as J Richardson (13) & Mick Mennell (17) also finished on the same score to claim the second prize. Close on their heels were another two pairs, Chris Moore (10) & Paul Broadbent (5) and Tony Chapman (13) & Gary Kirkham (18) who posted scores of 72.5

Scarborough Review, May - Issue 33 53

cricket Exciting Evening League to get under way THE "Andy Hire" Scarborough Evening Cricket League 2016 season commences on Tuesday 3 May with its first round of league games with then one league game each week until the seasons last games which will be played on Tuesday 2 August with each team playing 14 games. In Divisions A and B there are 8 teams with each team playing all the other teams twice on a home and away basis. In Division C there are 12 teams who will play each other team at least once and three teams twice to make up their 14 games. The League games are played on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings each week. The League will also be, as usual, running three cup competitions, the Division A competition being the "Andy Hire" Harburn Cup, the Division B competition being the Hunter Cup and the Division C competition being the "Lloyd Dowson Cricket Cup" with new sponsors Lloyd Dowson (Accountants) providing a brand new cup and runners up shield for this competition in 2016. The early rounds of the cup competitions are mutually arranged to be played by set deadline dates with semi finals and finals on set dates.

Staxton look to retain title Division A of the League looks as though it could be a closer fought league this year although current champions Staxton A still look very strong after being unbeaten in 2015 and will be looking to hang on to the winners shield again this year to make it five championships on the trot (they have won this title ten times in the last 12 years). Staxton A are again captained by Dan Bulman. They could be challenged closely by last years runners up Seamer A this season who will have former Staxton, Flixton and Yeadon CC player Damon Gormley in their ranks for evening cricket along with captain Adam Morris. Ebberston A who have a young side could also provide a challenge under the captaincy of wicket keeper Ben Lockey with the excellent Matty Turnbull being their main batsman and bowler. Heslerton could also put up a strong challenge this year with new signing and former Flixton player Richard Malthouse turning out for them in evening league games along with Scarborough CC player Kristian Wilkinson and they are captained by the excellent Sam Triffitt. Both Scalby A and Wykeham A did very well in the league last season and will both hope to challenge for the championship. Wykeham A are this year captained by James Bryant who is a really good player. Newly promoted teams to the A division are Ganton and Filey (captained again by Dave Brannan Jnr) who will be hoping to cement their places in this division over the course of the season. In the "Andy Hire" Harburn Cup last years finalists Staxton A and Ebberston A met in a crunch 1st round game at Staxton with the winners meeting either Seamer A or Heslerton in the semi final, and this year this competition will definitely have a new finalist with the other half of the draw having

Wykeham A at home to Scalby A and Filey at home to Ganton with the winning teams meeting in the other semi final. The Final of this cup is played at North Marine Road on Friday 15th July with a 6pm start.

Flixton plan to bounce back Division B of the League will have Flixton A looking for a quick return to the top flight after an indifferent season in Division A last year where they were relegated. Flixton A are captained by Chris Mann this year and will probably have a much stronger team. Also relegated last season were Sherburn who under the captaincy of Jack Pickard will be hoping to get back into Division A first time. Clubs that could quite easily be challenging for promotion this year in the B Division are also Cayton A with Connor Davison as captain, Scarborough with main run scorer Josh Mainprize as captain, Cloughton A with skipper Chris Malthouse and Scalby B with Brad Walker as captains. Newly promoted teams from Division C were Seamer B who did so well last year with Craig Baker as captain and who is again captain this year and Wykeham B with Ethan Pashby being their captain with both teams hoping to ensure they stay in this division at the end of the season. The Hunter Cup competition for this division has Sherburn hosting Scalby B, Cayton A hosting Scarborough, Flixton A hosting Wykeham B and Cloughton A at home to Seamer B. Last years winners Filey and runners up Ganton are not eligible this year for this cup having been promoted to Division A. Flixton A are pre season strong favourites and will take some beating in this competition this year. The Final of the Hunter Cup is to be held on Monday 1 August at North Marine Road with a 6pm start.

Forge Valley are favourites to succeed Division C which has 12 teams with new comers Flixton B rejoining the league after just one seasons absence. Flixton B will be a young side managed by John Ward. Early favourites for this Divisions title could well be Forge Valley A who were relegated from Division B last year and are captained by James Allison this term. Also likely to put up a strong challenge are relegated team Ebberston B who are once again captained by Joe Tyson and were very unlucky to be relegated last year by just one point. Staxton B could also challenge with the prolific Andy Dove captaining the team and depending upon availability of their players could gain promotion this time after narrowly missing out last season. Cayton B could also be a strong challenger with Matty Micklethwaite as skipper. Other teams in this division who will depend on which players are available after their first teams selection are Forge Valley B, captained by Alex Glass, Wykeham C captained by Josh Briggs and Cloughton B who are captained by Colin Ward and are understood to have signed on a number of new players for this year. Clubs in this

Dean's brother Adrian slots into eighth place, one place ahead of of three-time Duke Rankings winner, Ian Lougher. In all there are a total of 24 new entries in the top 50 after the first two rounds, the Mid Antrim 150 and Bob Smith Spring Cup have been held. Malachi Mitchell-Thomas remains at the top of the table, with Michael Sweeney in second. Rounds 3 & 4 follow in quick succession, the Around-A-Pound Tandragee 100 Road Races on 22nd and 23rd April followed by the KDM Cookstown 100 Road Races on 29 and 30 April, both in Northern Ireland.

DEAN Harrison was the top points scorer at the second round of the Duke Road Race Rankings Championship 2016, the Bob Smith Spring Cup, held at Oliver's Mount, Scarborough. Unfortunately the meeting was abandoned after a serious incident involving young Billy Redmayne, who sadly passed away after being air lifted to hospital. In the four races that the Yorkshireman was involved in, Harrison took three chequered flags and a second place, which resulted in a points haul of 235 and puts him in third place in the rankings. Dean's Lincolnshire rival, Ivan Lintin was involved in five races, netting one
