TOUR DE YORKSHIRE SPECIAL FEATURE

Words and photo by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH man dressed as an enormous poppy broke an unusual world record while running the London marathon on Sunday.

Owen Willis, 49, now holds the world record for the fastest marathon dressed as a threedimensional plant (male) - which is an official category in the Guinness Book of Records.

He had to complete the 26.2-mile

race in under five hours to beat the previous record.

The father-of-three is raising money for armed-forces charities.

"When I ran my second marathon in 2014, there were all the poppies at the Tower of London," he said.

"I had this idea that in four years time I would do something to commemorate the centenary of the end of the first world war”.

He spent a few months, on and off,

designing and stitching together the 5ft-wide poppy suit, using central heating pipes and gabardine material. It weighs three kilos and is comprised of 16 pieces that slot together.

Owen, of Stepney Avenue, was desperately hoping for either no wind or an easterly breeze at his back, otherwise he would be blown over.

David, of Lyell Street, says: “I assure you that any rivalry will be good-natured and that goes between Bill Chatt and veteran Green Chris Phillips as well”.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Ivanhoe fined £2,500 for not docking pay THE Ivanhoe pub in Scarborough has been fined £2,500 for not docking an employee’s pay.

A court heard that the company failed in its legal obligation to make deductions from an employee’s earnings following an unpaid invoice for overpaid housing benefit.

This was despite numerous reminders and contact between the council and one of the directors during a 12-month period.

The company which owns and operates the pub was prosecuted for failing to operate a direct earnings attachment (DEA) for Scarborough Council.

A DEA is where an employer is requested to make deductions from an employee’s pay to recover overpayments of benefits. This includes overpaid housing benefit.

Company directors Jeannette and Julian Law failed to attend Scarborough magistrates court.

In their absence, the company was found guilty of five offences under the Social Security Regulations 2013. In addition to the £2,500 fine, the company was ordered to pay legal costs of £250 and a victim surcharge of £120. In this case, the victim is the council.

A council spokesperson said: “We have a duty to protect public funds. A DEA is an important tool to enable us to recover overpaid housing benefit from customers in employment who choose not to repay the balance owed.

“Employers must take these matters seriously and we will not hesitate to instigate court action where we feel there is no other course of action”.

The Ivanhoe

Man shoots birds for making a noise AN old man in Seamer has been cautioned by police for killing birds because he didn’t like their calls and songs.

Using an air rifle, he shot birds in his garden and in neighbouring gardens.

The man, who is in his 70s and has not been named, was reported to the police by neighbours.

They had found dead birds in their garden and heard the sound of an air rifle being fired nearby.

The man thought he had a right to kill the birds as they were disturbing him.

He was issued with a police caution for killing

wild birds and firing an air rifle beyond his premises. He had to dispose of the weapon.

PC Graham Bilton, wildlife crime officer in the Scarborough area, said: "Members of the public need to be aware that all wild birds, active nests and eggs are protected within the UK, with very few exceptions which are strictly controlled under licence”.

He added that people should seek advice from the police's specialist wildlife crime officers and relevant organisations including the RSPCA or the RSPB if they are in any doubt as to what they can legally do.

Parking permit cost rises by 76% THE cost of a parking permit in Scarborough and Filey has gone up by 76%.

Until 9 April, a permit cost £17. Now it costs £30.

North Yorkshire County Council defended the massive increase by saying the extra revenue was needed to investigate requests for more residents’ parking zones.

There has been a freeze on new zones since 2013, because of limitations on funding and resources.

The authority says it recently realised it had a shortfall in the administration costs for its parking scheme of about £123,000 a year.

“Increasing permit fees will not only help to cover these costs, but will raise a modest surplus to allow the county council to investigate outstanding and new requests and, where it is justified, amend existing schemes and introduce new zones”, a spokesperson said.

A second and third parking permit used to cost £27 and £44 respectively. Now each one costs £30.

The rise is the first in 10 years and the new charges remain among the lowest in the country, the council said.

May 2018 - Issue 57

Labour election candidate chosen THE Labour candidate for the Scarborough and Whitby constituency at the next general election has been chosen.

Hugo Fearnley, 36, describes himself as a socialist and a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, having voted for him in both leadership elections.

He says he has always lived in the constituency and has a deep connection to the area. He runs a family business in Goathland.

While campaigning for selection, Mr Fearnley stated: “I have a strong grasp of economics and the changing environment of the post-industrial, technological era.

“I have a genuine desire to contribute at the national level to the creation of a modern socialist society, that seizes the opportunities we are being presented with, to forge a future for the many, not the few.

“And I have a total belief in our ability to create a new dynamic, narrative that speaks

to the modern world in the way that the Attlee government spoke to a new post-war generation”.

Mr Fearnley says he is energetic and hard working, with various roles in the local Labour Party.

"I have fully engaged with the local community and understand the need for a local person who the electors can relate to”, he says.

He was elected by local Labour Party members during a lengthy meeting at the Street in Scarborough.

A party spokesman said: “Party members are looking forward to campaigning with Hugo to overturn the Tory majority in Scarborough and Whitby which has already been significantly reduced by the result of last year’s general election”.

The other candidates on the shortlist were Mark Gordon, Steve Howley, Simon Lightfoot and Anne Marie Murphy.

Drink-driver goes down for 18 months A DRUNK young man in a stolen car without a driving licence or insurance exceeded 100mph while being chased by police.

Chris Newton, 22, of South Street in Scarborough, has been jailed for 18 months for dangerous driving.

The 24-minute pursuit took place in the middle of the night in Harrogate, Ripley and Knaresborough.

He pleaded guilty to a string of motoring offences: dangerous driving, drink driving, driving without a licence, driving without insurance and aggravated vehicle taking car theft.

Newton was given an 18-month driving ban, which will begin when he gets out of jail, and ordered to take an extended driving test on completion of the ban.

A court heard that Newton stole a silver Toyota Auris from outside a pub and failed to stop for the police.

The chase ended when the Toyota developed a mechanical fault.

Police film of the chase, which can be seen on Youtube, shows the speedometer reaching 104mph.

Following Newton’s arrest, a test showed he had 164 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80

milligrammes.

Newton, a former B r o m p t o n Hall pupil, was charged in relation to the chase and recalled to prison after breaking his release licence for a previous offence.

Traffic constable Chris Newton David Minto said: “Newton was driving a stolen car whilst over the prescribed limit for alcohol and with absolutely no regard for the safety of other road-users.

“He continually drove at high speed, disobeyed red traffic light signals, and carried out dangerous overtaking manoeuvres which put other motorists and pedestrians at great risk”.

Two films of the chase can be seen on Youtube at https://youtu.be/9jKM8k5ioJ8 and https:// youtu.be/s94suZ1DbOM.

Pair locked up after Road wrecker gets suspended jail sentence burglary spree TWO young men have been locked up for a spate of burglaries in the Scarborough area in November and December.

The men, aged 21 and 16, stole goods worth thousands of pounds and caused thousands Connor Taylor of pounds worth of damage to the properties and a car.

Connor Taylor, of Prospect Crescent, Scarborough, and the local teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were sentenced at York crown court.

They were jointly charged with burglaries at Alexandra Park in Scarborough on 1 December; Throxenby Lane in Newby on 8 December; Overgreen View in Burniston on 13 December; and Church Walk in Staxton on

The Vauxhall Astra taken from a house in Burniston

15 December.

They deliberately flooded the house in Burniston and stole a Vauxhall Astra car parked outside.

Taylor was imprisoned for five years and the teenager has to spend a year in a youthdetention centre.

The suspects were arrested after an intensive investigation by a team of local detectives who pieced together their web of offending to secure the convictions.

Taylor admitted burgling three more homes in Scarborough: in Gladstone Road on 25 June, in Thompson Close on 19 June and in Settrington Road on 14 December. He deliberately flooded two of them.

Additional offences for Taylor included driving without a licence, driving without insurance and possession of a knife.

He was also charged with breaking a curfew related to bail conditions on 28 December while under investigation for these offences.

Detective constable James Temple of Scarborough’s serious crime team, said: “Taylor and his teenage accomplice have caused so much misery, anguish and fear in the Scarborough area.

“The burglary spree they went on is truly shocking and this type of behaviour cannot be tolerated.

“It is bad enough to break in and steal from people’s homes, but to then deliberately flood [three of] the houses is shameful and wicked beyond belief.

“We are pleased that the outcome at court will bring some comfort to their victims, knowing that those responsible for the terrible time they have endured have now been brought to justice”.

The juvenile was aged 15 at the time of the incidents and recently turned 16.

Willows Lull is walk’s new beneficiary WILLOWS Lull in Scarborough will be the latest beneficiary of the 41st annual Crown Tavern charity walk on Sunday 6 May. The children’s charity provides respite care for local children.

The area is crying out for additional respite care for children, says Jane Moment, of the committee which organises the walk.

Jane and her colleagues have already donated £500 for a wooden ramp.

The walk usually raises between £8,000 and £10,500 for charities representing local disabled and disadvantaged children. Last year’s raised £10,500.

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

“Many of our beneficiaries take part in the shorter walk - some in wheelchairs - and

L-R: Sue North, Jackie Dartnall-Smith, Jane Moment, Ian Holland and Ray Springall at Willows Lull in effect are helping to raise money for themselves”, says Tracey Shaw, one of the organisers.

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

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

A SCARBOROUGH man who caused nearly £50,000 worth of damage to a road walked out of court a free man.

Anthony Hopcraft, 24, of Maple Drive, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and criminal damage.

Royal Albert Drive was badly damaged during a car-rally when Hopcraft performed wheel-spins with his handbrake on.

The tarmac, which had only just been laid, was churned up.

Hopcraft spun the wheels so much that the tyres burst and shredded. The wheel rims then started gouging the road surface.

The cost to repair the damage came to £47,740.

Hopcraft was given a seven-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.

He was ordered to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work, fined £750 and ordered to pay a £140 victim surcharge. The victim is defined as the county council, which had to fix the road.

Hopcraft was banned from driving for two years and ordered to take an extended driving test at the end of his disqualification period.

Investigating officer PC Will Lane said: “Having a driving licence is a privilege,

not a right. On the evening of 15 October, Hopcraft abused that privilege and drove with no thought for anyone else, let alone the damage, cost and inconvenience he caused to law-abiding members of the public.

“Public safety will a l w a y s be our priority and I hope that if and when Hopcraft regains his licence, his attitude to driving and other road users Anthony Hopcraft will be significantly improved.

“I welcome the sentence handed out, which sends a clear message that such disregard for safety and other road users will not be tolerated in Scarborough”.

Since Hopcraft’s offence, car-rallies on the seafront have been banned.

Gallows Close Centre relaunches as a community hub Words and photo by Dave Barry Gallows Close Centre has relaunched itself as a community hub.

The community centre, in Endcliff Crescent, Scarborough, staged an open day to show off its facilities.

Funded by the national lottery, the hub provides: * free use of laptops and the internet, * the latest job searches * CV enhancement * a printing service * help with money management * homework research * benefits and housing advice * free training opportunities * volunteer opportunities * a free community engagement programme * yoga and jujitsu classes * music sessions for under-fives * a kids disco zumba class * a fun group session for adults with learning disabilities * an adult craft club * a youth club.

The centre aims to reduce isolation and build confidence.

Its cafe serves breakfast and light lunches and, on Wednesdays from 23 May, afternoon tea for pensioners.

The centre’s summer club opens on 24 July.

Sessions are run by Sanctuary Housing on the last Tuesday of the month, Yorkshire Coast Homes on the last Friday of the month, the Citizens’ Advice Bureau and Jobmatch on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Tyro Training on Tuesdays starting 8 May. The centre’s garden has a wildlife area and a bug hotel.

A garden project for aged veterans was launched nearly a year ago.

“It is looking amazing”, says development worker Kimmie Avison. “The only drawback is we need to recruit volunteer ex-service men and women aged 65 plus over a period of two years to meet the funding criteria.

“We really need to get more volunteers to avoid losing the funding, which would be a shame when so much work has been put into it”.

Although the project is aimed at service veterans, anyone can help.

Kimmie adds: “We have a 24x8ft outbuilding coming next month, to provide extra activities such as men in sheds, she sheds, workshops, etc”.

For details, ring Kimmie on 378102 or email kimmie.avison@gmail.com.

New kitchen for centre THE community centre in Eastfield has been awarded a Big Lottery Fund grant of £10,000 to redevelop its kitchen.

Officially reopened by Cllr Tony Randerson, it is open from 8am till 2pm on Thursdays.

The centre is used by several community

groups and a local cafe called Paula's Pantry.

The photo, by Mark Andrews, shows volunteer Clive Roe, cafe customer Julie Barnett, secretary Michael Barnett and, at the front, volunteer and committee member Sandra Best.

Angels’ work cuts crime Scores attend wedding and antisocial behaviour fair at town hall

Words and photo by Dave Barry

A CHURCH project to protect vulnerable people at night and provide facilities for young people is flourishing.

The Angels project was launched several years ago by Churches Together in Scarborough.

“We see it as all of us working together - the churches, the police and the local council”, explains Paul Abell, who chairs the Street Angels and is the senior leader of the Kingdom Faith Yorkshire Trust, the charity behind the Angels.

Superintendent Alaister Dey of Scarborough police says the Angels are a vital part of keeping people safe.

Based at the Summit in St Nicholas Street, the initiative is run by volunteers from various churches, although some aren’t churchgoers.

The Angels work in close partnership with the local community and other local charities and agencies such as the Rainbow Centre.

As part of these partnerships, groups such as Young Carers Resource and Sash make use of the Summit building.

Local organisations that could benefit from the use of the building are welcome to apply.

The Street Angels help vulnerable people on weekend nights.

“We're out on the streets late on a weekend night to be there for people when we're needed, particularly those who are vulnerable or in difficulty”, a spokesperson says.

Wearing distinctive blue jackets, they are a visible presence on the streets, helping to improve the safety of people using bars, restaurants, theatres and public transport.

The spokesperson adds: “Through our work, we've seen a reduction in street crime and antisocial behaviour, and an increase in effective use of the emergency services”.

The Youth Angels is a weekly youth club, run on Friday evenings at the Summit.

Words and photo by Dave Barry A HARRIS hawk gave Scarborough’s birdlife the jitters on a recent visit to the seafront.

Fortunately for them, it was a captive bird of prey, safely attached to the glove of Nick Hudson of NBC Environment.

The company has been hired by Scarborough Council for the second year running to reduce the herring gull population.

The presence of a Harris hawk puts gulls off nesting on the seafront.

But the most effective part of NBC’s disruption and dispersal programme involves removing eggs and nests.

Last year, 850 eggs and 500 nests were removed in Scarborough and Whitby. When most people were still in bed, Nick was out and about with a cherrypicker and protective clothing on many mornings during the breeding season.

Toasting the success of the town hall as a wedding venue are, L-R, ukulele player Lucy Spencer, the mayor and mayoress, Jo Pimm of Woodend and Cathryn Baker of the Wedding Room (to order photos ring 353597)

Words and photo by Dave Barry Some of the Angels are pictured on a visit to the town hall with deputy mayor Guy Coulson and deputy mayoress Sharon Dickinson (to order photos ring 353597) Up to 50 teenagers engage in socialising, craft, games and other activities.

“We also have teams out on the streets, engaging young people and offering positive alternative life choices for those who need that help”, the spokesperson says.

“We dare to dream that we can make a positive difference in the lives of young people”.

Youth Angels aim to reduce the number of young people who may be tempted by alcohol and drug abuse, crime and anti-social behaviour.

“We aim to be part of making our town a safe and welcoming environment for all generations, including reducing levels of fear.

We aim to foster community - not a sense of us and them, but a sense of 'this is our town' that is cross-generational”.

This year, the programme is being broadened out to include Filey.

It is aimed only at the herring gull and not the kittiwake, which is a protected species.

“We are trying to move gulls away from areas which are concentrated with visitors in the summer”, explained the council’s environment and regulation manager, Jonathan Bramley.

“We want to bring down the number of gull muggings”, he added, referring to gulls which dive-bomb people and steal food. “And we are trying to persuade people to stop interacting with gulls by feeding them”.

The council cabinet member for public health and housing, Cllr Bill Chatt, said no birds would be killed.

He was speaking at one of three roadshows, on Sandside in Scarborough. The others were at Coble Landing in Filey and Dock End in Whitby.

Cllr Chatt said: “The roadshows in 2017 were very successful, so we were keen to put them on again this year. They give us an opportunity to meet residents, answer any questions they may have about the programme and, most importantly, educate people about how changing human behaviour can make a positive difference.

“These measures aren’t about changing the traditional image of the seaside; they’re about trying to achieve a more manageable situation where gulls and humans can live more contentedly side by side”.

Scores of people attended the first wedding fair at Scarborough’s latest wedding venue.

Decked out for a glamorous wedding, the town hall looked every inch the archetypal setting for one of life’s big events.

Chairs with white butterfly backs were arranged in one of the larger rooms, with French doors opening out onto the gardens and the grand vista of the south bay.

In the corridor, a circular dinner table, beautifully laid out for a reception, sat in the niche of a semi-circular window.

The council chamber was emptied of its wooden debating furniture and transformed into a showroom for some of the organisations taking part. Singer and ukulele player Lucy Spencer provided the entertainment.

Martin and Cherry Smith acted as hosts, as indeed they might, being the mayor and mayoress.

Scarborough Council has obtained a

premises licence to hold civil marriages and partnerships at the town hall.

The Jacobean-style Victorian building has five elegant rooms licensed for civil ceremonies, which can hold up to 60 people.

They can be booked by people wanting to renew their wedding vows or celebrate a naming ceremony in front of family and friends.

The venue’s wedding team was joined by various participants representing Print Plus Wedding Stationery, Hearts and Flowers, Richard Wood Photography, Peasholm Dental Surgery, East Coast Vintage, Studio 41 Photography, Drinky Poos Darling, Village Hall Events, Jane’s Cakes and Covers, Covered by Angels, Woodend Museum, Rosh jewellers, Linda’s Beauty, Shadow hair salon, the Wedding Room, Get Ahead Hats, CostelloCello and Hackness Grange Hotel. www.scarboroughtownhallceremonies. co.uk

Ancient royal charters shown to visitors Words and photo by Dave Barry ROYAL charters presented to Scarborough in medieval times were shown to a group of visitors at the town hall.

The velum and parchment documents still have the royal wax seals attached; some are as big as a dinner plate.

They are normally kept locked up in a large cabinet which is rarely opened, to protect the precious contents.

The visitors, from Scalby & Newby Women’s Institute, were being given a conducted tour of the town hall by the mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith.

They looked around the council chamber, the cabinet room, the mayor's parlour

and the civic parlour with their beautiful stone fireplaces set with polished gems and stones collected on local beaches.

“In the corridor we saw the silver mace, which must be in the council chamber when it is in session, and many other displays, photographs and paintings”, said one of the visitors, Anne Flint.

The mayor's parlour contains some of the many gifts presented by visiting dignitaries to Scarborough over the years.

“There is a photograph of Churchill's visit and we even saw the chair he sat in”, Anne said.

“After the visit, we continued with a social evening at the Royal Hotel”.

Tom’s nine marathons raise £14k for hospice Words and photo by Dave Barry A MAN who ran nine marathons in nine days raised enough money to fund Saint Catherine’s for a day.

Last year, Tom Brickman raised over £14,000, which is “more than enough to provide an entire day of our care”, says hospice marketing assistant Natalie Wright.

He ran 229 miles from the house his granddad built many years ago to the last place he called home, in Hutton Buscel. Tom was inspired by Eddie Izzard’s 28-marathon challenge.

With the money he raised, Tom sponsored a day of care in memory of his granddad, who passed away there.

Brian Kirkham would have been 88 on the day Tom returned to Saint Catherine’s with his parents and gran.

It was the first time Doreen Kirkham had been back since her husband died, at Christmas

May 2018 - Issue 57

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

2015.

Doreen, who will be 88 in November, said she and Brian met at school and were married for 61 years.

She spent two years training as an infants teacher at Scarborough’s former North Riding College (where the Tec is today) and taught children for 37 years.

Brian was an electron microscopist who built a house in Pirbright for £5,000. When they retired, they sold it for £210,000 and moved to Hutton Buscel in 1994.

When Brian died, Doreen couldn’t stay in the house and moved in with her daughter, Sarah Bennett, who lives in Strensall.

She was full of praise for the hospice: “Saint Catherine’s were absolutely fantastic, unbelievably good, not just to my husband but to my whole family”.

Supermarket customers donate food to Rainbow Centre Words and photo by Dave Barry FOOD donated at Tesco by customers is going to the Rainbow Centre in Scarborough.

Working in conjunction with the charity for homeless people, the supermarket has introduced a collection point near the tills.

Whenever the food bank fills, someone from the Rainbow Centre takes the contents away.

Tesco’s fresh-food manager Robert Stancliffe said: “The Rainbow Centre and Tesco have been working together for about a year and are setting up a permanent collection point

L-R, Anne Morley, Robert Stancliffe, Joan Fletcher and Paul Best (to order photos ring 353597)

within the store for customers to donate.

“I’m sure you are aware of the fantastic work Rainbow carry out and how heavily they rely on donations from the community”.

At Easter, the supermarket donated 100 eggs to both the Rainbow Centre and Foundation Housing.

The Rainbow Centre, a registered charity set up in 1997 to address issues faced by homeless people, is also partnered with Sainsbury’s.

A spokesperson commented: “Regarding our charity initiatives, we encourage all our stores to have both a front and back of store food donation partner. There is a donation bin at the front of the Scarborough store where customers and [staff] can donate food which is collected by the charity. The store also donates any surplus food to the charity”.

The photo shows Anne Morley, who was the first person to chair the Rainbow Centre, and who is still a trustee and volunteer, with volunteer fundraiser Joan Fletcher, Tesco store manager Paul Best and Robert Stancliffe.

THE fight against terrorism has visited Scarborough in the form of an ‘anti-terror roadshow’.

Police volunteers handed out leaflets encouraging people to report anything they see or hear that could be terrorist related.

It was part of the latest Action Counters Terrorism (Act) campaign, launched in March by counter-terrorism police.

It’s designed to raise awareness of what, when and how to report suspicious activity to help prevent terrorist attacks.

The first roadshow was held at the Brunswick Pavilion shopping centre.

More will follow at public events in Malton and Dalby Forest, where general crime prevention advice and property marking will also be available.

Chief inspector Andy Colbourne, deputy commander for the Scarborough and Ryedale area, said: “Everyone has a part to play to keep our neighbourhoods safe and knowing what to look out for and how to report suspicions will be a huge help”.

Scarborough Council’s community safety and safeguarding manager, Sandra Rees, added: “The public need to be aware of the importance of reporting anything they think is unusual. If you are having that conversation with yourself along the lines of ‘something is not right’, then please trust your instincts and report it. In addition to holding these public events, we are also liaising with local businesses to ensure as many people as possible are getting these important messages”.

Neil Basu, assistant commissioner of specialist operations, was recently appointed as head of counter terrorism. He praised the public’s

willingness to act in response to last year’s unprecedented rise in terrorist activity.

It resulted in a record number of people contacting the police through online referral forms and a confidential hotline to report suspicious behaviour.

He said a call to action would encourage the public to report suspicious behaviour and activity via the online tool at gov.uk/Act, helping the police prevent terrorism and save lives.

“We have been saying for some time now that communities defeat terrorism”, Mr Basu said.

“These figures demonstrate just how important the public are in the fight to keep our country safe.

“Since the beginning of 2017 we have foiled 10 Islamist and four right-wing terror plots. There is no doubt in my mind that it would have been impossible without relevant information from the public”.

Of nearly 31,000 public reports to counter terrorism police in 2017, about 6,600 (21%) resulted in useful intelligence, used to inform investigations or help build an intelligence picture of an individual or group.

SCARBOROUGH Disability Action Group is hoping to bag a big wad of cash from a supermarket.

DAG has been shortlisted for funding by Tesco, which raises the money it gives away by selling carrier bags.

Customers can vote for DAG using a token given out at the tills during May and June.

DAG manager Tim Vasey said: “We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for funding from Tesco and it is great that big organisations are supporting local charities.

“But we need your help to vote for our project which is an experience on an accessible powerboat provided by Wetwheels”.

* DAG is planning its summer fair at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church in Barrowcliff on Saturday 9 June, from 11am–3.30pm.

It will feature music, food and stalls selling home-made crafts and goodies.

Raffle prizes will include tickets for Staxtonbury music festival.

Tim says: “It is a great day out for all the family and an event for us to help raise funds for the charity. Please come along and enjoy the wonderful variety of things we have on offer”.

To book a stall, ring 480029. Tables cost £10 with a £5 non-refundable deposit.

Byebye Hole, hello Wilson’s Words and photos by Dave Barry A POPULAR pub couple are moving on to pastures new.

Tina Ramsden and Garry Naylor are planning a big farewell weekend for when they leave the Hole in the Wall, in Vernon Road, Scarborough.

The entertainment includes singer Becky Brown on Saturday 28 April.

“We've been here nearly three years”, says Tina. “Our lease is up in August and no terms Wilson’s

have been agreed and the opportunity for Wilson’s came up”.

The couple will reopen Wilson’s, previously known as the Leeds Hotel, on Friday 4 May, from noon until late.

“It's sad to leave and it’s really not by choice but we are looking forward to moving now and providing the bottom end with what we have to offer”.

The pub, in West Sandgate in the old town, will be screening Sky Sports and BT Sports.

Live entertainment will include Ric Owen on 5 May and a Diana Ross tribute on 6 May, at 4pm.

“We are totally grateful to John and Tracie Wilson, the owners of the Wilson's pub, for giving us the privilege of taking over from them”, Tina said.

Before the Hole in the Wall, Tina and Garry ran the Golden Ball, which was their first pub.

Eastfield library is More Than Books Words and photos by Dave Barry THE library in Eastfield has celebrated its first anniversary under community management.

More Than Books is one of three libraries in the Scarborough area run entirely by volunteers, along with Newby & Scalby in Newby and Derwent Bridge in West Ayton.

At the same time, the library was awarded a £9,000 Wellbeing grant from Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the borough and county councils.

“This is a milestone”, said Julie Blaisdale, the county council’s assistant director for library and community services.

“They’ve done fantastically well”, she added, referring to More Than Books’ trustees, about 30 volunteers and its paid staff member, Anna Hutchinson.

“They offer a huge range of activities and the county council continues to provide the infrastructure, such as the books and professional support staff”.

The county council’s director of public health, Lincoln Sargeant, unveiled a plaque recording the library’s launch as a community wellbeing hub.

Four young carers from Carers' Resource gave a presentation about what it involves. they were accompanied by staff members Dawn Brookes and Claire Robinson.

The event was also attended by Nigel Prince, Lee Taylor, Chrys Mellor, Karen Atkinson, Becky Harden, Carrie Gaddass, Philippa Thomas, Claire Phillips and Sharon Houghton of North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC).

Action for brain injury week BRAIN injury charity, Headway will launch its latest campaign, You, me and brain injury in time for Brain Injury Awareness week, which runs from 14-20 May. It aims to increase understanding of the effects of brain injury and will highlight the fact that brain injury affects family, friends, colleagues and many more relationships as well as the individual.

The study from the 2017 campaign – A new me, found: • 74% of brain injury survivors feel like ‘a new person’ following their injury.

• 77% of brain injury survivors feel friends and family do not understand the effects of their injury.

• 56% of respondents reported their brain injury had had a negative impact on family life.

• 74% of people felt their social life was worse – with 60% of people feeling that their friends did not understand their injury.

“We have always known that brain injury can affect personalities as well as a person’s cognitive and physical abilities,” said Peter McCabe, Chief Executive of Headway. “This study, however, sheds light on just how lives and futures can be altered in an instant as a result of sustaining a brain injury.

“We often hear people tell us that their husband or wife is not the person they married, or that the person they knew didn’t really return from the hospital.

“Coming to terms with the fact that you have not only lost the life you once led, but also the person you once were must be unimaginably difficult.

“People often associate brain injury with impacting cognitive or physical skills, such as memory, speech, or movement. However, it can also change personalities and our behaviours, which can have a dramatic impact on our relationships and support networks.

“What is clear from this study is that the experiences of those affected are unique and, while some will understandably struggle to accept the new person they have become, others positively embrace the change by celebrating the anniversary of their injury as a ‘second birthday’.

“This shows that with the right help and support, there can be life after brain injury.”

If you’d like to get involved and show your support, you could take part in #HatsForHeadwayDay on Friday 18th May. Find out more by following @headwayUK on Twitter.

All funds raised will support the restoration of the chapel.

Fingers crossed for surfing charity which helps young people

May 2018 - Issue 57

Community library looks back on its first year Words and photo by Dave Barry

The Wave Project in Scarborough (photo by Keith Meatheringham)

Report by Dave Barry THE Scarborough end of a charity which promotes surfing as therapy for young people has applied for £41,500 from the national lottery.

The Wave Project is a finalist in the People’s Projects, in which people vote for their favourite charities.

It helps young people improve their emotional health and resilience through a programme of surfing and mentoring.

It is now entering into its third year, having worked with over 100 children and volunteers in the area.

The next Wave Project sessions have just started. This year, it plans to work with 40 local children and act as a crucial lifeline service for young people who may otherwise find themselves struggling at school and at home.

Coordinator Chris Carter, who is based at Office 13 on West Pier, said: “It would be awesome if we could get this funding. It would mean we can offer even more sessions to young people in the area. Not just in Scarborough, but the whole of the North Yorkshire coast”.

Chris’s colleague Joe Taylor added: “It has been remarkable to see the change in the participants in Scarborough. They’ve grown in confidence and are doing better in so many aspects of their lives as a direct result of involvement in the project”.

Run mainly by volunteers, the Wave Project operates in 11 locations. Most are in the southwest. The two exceptions are in Scarborough and Dunbar, in Scotland.

Vote for the Wave Project via the People’s Projects website: www.waveproject.co.uk.

U3A is a great cure for loneliness and boredom Words and photo by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S branch of the University of the Third Age has over 500 members.

Since it launched in 1985, it has developed over 80 courses covering a wide variety of subjects including arts and crafts, science, history, music, literature, languages and physical activities.

The U3A aims to encourage people in their third age to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning in subjects of interest to them.

The third age is defined as a time in life when people have an opportunity to undertake learning for its own sake.

From the start, the guiding principles were to promote lifelong learning through selfhelp interest groups covering a wide range of topics and activities chosen by members.

Groups are led by members, who are all volunteers. They don’t have to be an expert in a subject to lead a group. If they have an interest in a particular subject, there will almost certainly be others who will join them, so they all learn together.

There are social groups and many long-lasting friendships are forged through U3A; it is a great cure for loneliness and boredom.

The UK arm of U3A, based loosely on the French model, was founded 35 years ago.

There is no minimum age, but it is focussed on people who are not in full-time employment or who are raising a family.

The founders envisaged a collaborative approach with peers learning from each other. The U3A movement is self-funded, with members not working towards qualifications but learning purely for pleasure.

There is no distinction between learners and teachers; members can be either.

From its beginnings in 1981, the movement grew quickly and by the early 1990s, a U3A was opening every fortnight.

U3As grew throughout the UK. By 2008, membership was increasing by 11% a year. It hit the quarter million mark in 2010 and is still rising.

Today, there are over 400,000 U3A members in more than 1,000 U3As in the UK. Although the Scarborough branch’s main enrolment is in July each year, people can enrol at other times too.

To join Scarborough U3A or for further information, ring membership secretary Sue Petyt on 864111 or email her on sue@ suepetyt.me.uk.

NEWBY & Scalby Library has celebrated its first anniversary as a community facility.

Isobel Nixon, who chairs the library trustees, said: “The last year has been great fun and, though it can be hard work at times, the overwhelming support for the library has been uplifting”.

She said it was evidence, if it were needed, that libraries are both valued and essential in our communities.

“Our first year has been consumed with learning about the library systems and about the administrative and practical arrangements for running the building, the volunteer rota, fundraising, etc.

“We have been fundraising hard over the past year, partly to cover our running costs but also to finance our two big projects for the coming year; the development of our garden and the creation of a café area in the library.

“Thanks to the generosity of our community and a successful bid to the Awards for All Lottery Fund, we intend to make these plans a reality in the near future”.

The library marked the anniversary with a week of events.

Volunteers including Isobel, a retired teacher, read for children at a story-time session.

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, by Michael Rosen, went down well with Jacob Waggitt, aged 18 months, and Lillie Tite, who will be two on 9 May. Other activities included musical fun and a

Library volunteer Isobel Nixon reads to Lillie Tite and Jacob Waggitt, who were with their mums, Hannah Tite and Jessica Waggitt (to order photos ring 353597) bears’ picnic party for under 5s, crafts for children and adults, hand massage and a hand-bell demonstration, which was at St Laurence's Church in Scalby.

These activities sat alongside the library’s regular events and courses which include: IT for beginners – three-week courses starting 12 May and 7 July, 2-4pm, £20.

A reading group on the first Wednesday of the month, 6pm.

Crafty Articles on Wednesdays, 2.30-4pm.

Soul night raises £110 for hospice

Words and photo by Dave Barry A northern soul night at the Rosette in Newby on Good Friday raised £110 for Saint Catherine’s.

The pub has adopted the hospice as its charity of the year.

It is managed by Suzanne Blacker, who said the place was “heaving - much busier than usual”, partly because it was at the start of the Easter weekend.

“It went down really well and was appreciated by the locals”, added Mark Sinclair, who was DJ on the night. “Everyone had a great night.

“I wanted to do something to help raise money for the hospice as a close friend, Jerry Scott, passed away there in December”.

The money was raised by people making donations and buying raffle tickets. The prizes were collected by Clive Roe from friends and acquaintances.

“Everything we do this year is in aid of Saint Catherine’s”, said Suzanne.

The Rosette’s next fundraiser, on 25 May, will have a 60s and 70s theme.

Skyball raises £16,500 for cancer research THE third Apart Ball at the Crown Spa in Scarborough raised £16,500 for Cancer Research UK. Skyball, which a James Bond theme, sold out in four days and was attended by 130 people.

It was organised by Neil Fitzpatrick and Brett McMann, who said the three balls had raised £65,000.

The star prizes at an auction which raised

over £7,000 were a three-night stay at the Austrian alpine location where the James Bond film Spectre was shot and a swatch of Daniel Craig’s tuxedo from Casino Royale.

Neil launched his Apart Project in 2014, following the loss of his dad, mother-in-law and several other close family members to cancer.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Dementia week aims to break down fear Words and photos by Dave Barry A programme of events is being planned for dementia action week, from 21-26 May. It is a great opportunity to help improve the lives of people with dementia, says Tim Kirkup, who chairs the Scarborough Dementia Action Alliance.

The key words are action and awareness, even though Scarborough has won an accolade for having the highest number of dementia ‘friends’ in North Yorkshire.

The aim is to encourage people with dementia to take part in activities in the town and stay involved with their community.

“There’s a lot of fear out there, which we’re trying to break down,” says Tim. “No one’s pretending that dementia is a fun disease to have, but life shouldn’t stop with diagnosis. With support from individuals and organisations, people with dementia can continue to do the things they have enjoyed, or try out new ones”.

Singing is a popular pastime. A singing group meets at South Cliff Methodist Church every Wednesday, from 1.30–3pm.

And there are regular opportunities to swim, play bowls, cycle, play walking football or enjoy café-and-reminiscence sessions.

The Stephen Joseph Theatre now runs dementia-friendly film screenings each month.

Over the last three years, many businesses and groups in Scarborough have undertaken sessions to explore how they might improve their services for people with dementia.

“The desire to understand and reach out is very positive and we’re building on this momentum all the time,” says Tim. “The alliance is helping to bring about a huge change in attitude in the community”.

Film appeals for foster carers A MOVING new film about fostering children was shown in the Brunswick Pavilion in Scarborough in April.

Entitled Fostering Teenagers, Changing Lives, the film challenges the myth that fostering teenagers is always difficult.

It features some of North Yorkshire’s most skilled foster carers and some of the young people who have experienced life in the care system at first hand.

They acknowledge how much they have benefited from the people who have been there for them.

The film was organised by Fostering North Yorkshire (FNY), which is run by the county council.

“It has an impressive record of placing the children and young people in its care with local foster families”, says Cty Cllr Janet Sanderson, whose remit includes children’s services.

Over 300 children are looked after by the county’s foster carers every year. Carers come from a wide range of backgrounds and family make-up. What they all have in common is a desire to provide a secure and welcoming home for some of the county’s

most vulnerable children.

Cty Cllr Sanderson says the film is “full of inspirational moments, with our foster carers saying how much fostering means to them and how much support and encouragement they receive from FNY. “Vicky, one of our care leavers who’s gone on to make a successful career as a hair dresser, tells us that foster care has brought the best out of her, while Jamie says he’d like to introduce a child in care ‘to a family like I’ve got’.”

An FNY-accredited carer receives over £300 a week tax-free for fostering a child aged 1115, which is equivalent to an annual income of around £16,000. Foster carers who have completed their advanced training and have the skills to support teenagers with complex and challenging behaviours can expect to receive around £29,000 annually, based on having a young person in a foster placement for 52 weeks a year.

For more information visit www.northyorks. gov.uk / fostering or ring FNY on 01609 534654.

The film can be seen at www.northyorks.gov. uk/life-foster-carer.

Convention gets society’s stamp of approval SCARBOROUGH Philatelic Society is looking forward to Yorkshire Philatelic Association's annual convention, which will be held at Westborough Methodist Church on 6 June.

The society's April meeting featured a children’s stamp-design competition and short presentations by members.

Robin Stenhouse displayed items illustrating events in the early life of James Cook, in Teesside, Staithes and Whitby.

Stuart Hogg showed an attractive and well-organised display of stamps depicting horses, their history and evolution, and ways they have been used by humans.

Barry Hilton displayed penny-reds on original envelopes, a specialised field of great interest to serious philatelists.

David Lane showed stamps issued by

Germany in 1938, praising Hitler and the Nazi party. “It is chilling to see the use of propaganda to manipulate popular opinion and establish group-think”, Robin said.

Chris Phillips' subject was the annual Philatelic Congress of Great Britain, for which illustrated covers, special postmarks and Cinderella stamps have been issued.

Ted Lunn, the society's secretary, considered stamps’ design quality, prompted by a recent article in a magazine listing the 100 best stamps ever produced.

He gave examples of the good, the bad and the ugly.

At the society’s next meeting, at 7pm on 8 May in the library, Ted will give another display.

Visitors interested in stamps and postal history are welcome to join the society.

TWO model-railway enthusiasts who organised a show in Scarborough last year are planning a repeat.

Nearly 700 visitors attended last year’s show, the first one in town for 20 years.

It was at Westborough Methodist Church, where this year’s will be on 5 May, from 10am.

It’s being organised by Iain Hale and Chris Martin, who have been working on it for six months.

Iain says: “The show has many attractions for younger visitors as well as the serious modellers and those curious to see what modelling the world in miniature is all

about”.

The 13 layouts will include a Lego layout, a Harry Potter layout and a new one featuring Thomas and friends, with sounds. “It has controllers for visitors to operate the trains”, Iain says.

A fantasy castle will have dragons instead of trains, moving on tracks”, he says. “This is a fantastic work of art created out of materials, hand sewn and jewel encrusted”.

If the weather is good, a small steam train will give rides to children in the car park, for a small charge.

Accompanied children under 14 won’t have to pay to get in. Everyone else will pay £3.

A Rather Wet Naval Battle at Peasholm Park

BY JOE COATES One of the highlights of a visit to Scarborough is a visit to Peasholm Park. Two of the very many organists who have entertained the crowds in Peasholm Park over the decades have told me about the similar and very wet experiences they had in their line of duty. One of them, my friend Frank James, is happy to share his experience, and be featured in this month’s Scarborough Tale.

Frank felt so pleased to be the organist at Peasholm Park. He was in his late 20s. He loved putting on his white shirt, dress suit, bow tie and rowing out to the island, where he played the Yamaha organ for visitors.

There was sometimes extra rowing in Frank’s sessions, as he liked to ask the visitors for their requests. He couldn’t hear what they calling for, so he climbed into the boat to row to the visitors and speak to them close up. It was much appreciated. “Theme from Dr. Zhivago please.” It was rather intimate.

“Spanish Eyes please.” It was nicely personal.

“Amazing grace please.”

Frank had asked for the rowing boat rather than wait for the motor boat Blue Bell to transport him to the island and back. That boat was often late through carrying visitors round the lake, so the rowing boat was “just the job.”

This is a weekly afternoon event, and it’s cherished. It was the brainchild of George Horrocks, the town’s entertainment manager, in 1927. In those days the Battle was enacted three times a week, with thousands paying to see it. A naval battle drama is performed

to the audience on the lake using miniature vessels and aircraft. There are bangs, cracks, flashes, explosions, smoking chimneys, fire flames, merchant ships, battleships, aircraft, bombs, all cleverly and carefully, and safely, staged on the water. Very important is the commentary which explains and tells the story of the action. This is an important task for the organist.

One particular day Frank felt immensely proud. He had performed well at Peasholm Park for ten years. He loved the job. That day was a Naval Battle day. The weather was glorious. The crowds were excited.

Frank heard later there had been about eight thousand present. He opted not to row out for requests, because there were several rowing boats moored at the island, and nowhere for Frank to moor his boat. “Where did these come from?”

So, Frank fastened his boat to one of the other boats, got his briefcase with the music sheets and prepared for the concert. The Naval Battle would be after the interval.

His performance was impeccable. No one else knew he was celebrating ten years. This was a

personal celebration, with Frank managing to find something extra to make it special. After bowing to great applause, he headed for his rowing boat to row across to the cafe for a cup of tea during the interval.

Briefcase in hand, Frank went round the back of the island to his boat, which, as you know, was moored to another boat. Steady now!

What do I do? Careful! Step into one boat, then step across to mine! Here goes! HEY UP! SPLASH! Frank found himself waist deep in water, briefcase held high to keep his music sheets dry!

He was round the back, so no-one noticed.

Frank decided not to go across for the interval. He tried to get himself as dry as possible for the Naval Battle commentary. He was wet through, but the show must go on, and it did. Well done Frank, yet no-one else knew! Somehow Frank was able to get into his rowing boat this time, making a sheepish, low profile return to dry land. He was dry enough now to be able to make an uncomfortable exit to the park, without anyone knowing what had happened. What a wet Naval battle it had been! And one that Frank vividly still remembers!

Hackness pupils go off to see the wizard Words and photos by Dave Barry A PROFESSIONAL entertainer enthralled his young audience when he read his favourite childhood story.

Hackness School invited David Nicholson to be a guest reader after a pupil won a World Book Day competition run by his company, Nicholson Events.

The prize was to have their favourite book character's costume made for them by David's fancy-dress service.

David read an extract from The Wizard of Oz, his favourite book as a child, and used his experience of playing the Scarecrow and Lion characters on stage to entertain the youngsters with various voices.

“The children were mesmerised and really enjoyed David's visit”, said senior advanced teaching assistant Sharon Procter, who runs the primary school’s Reading Rocks Book Club.

She said: “They had lots of brilliant questions for him about why he chose the book and what it meant to him.

The club, which meets on Thursday lunchtimes, was set up several years ago and

continues to go from strength to strength.

Each week, between 30 and 40 pupils, aged from four to 11, give up their playtime to take part.

They love to share books with each other, stand up in front of the other children to review their books and listen to guests reading one of their favourites.

They have enjoyed book-related school trips to Newby and Scalby Library, Scarborough Art Gallery and local book shops. * An Easter-hat competition was judged by Rev David Pynn.

Raincliffe Wood should be led by the community Dear editor, On 1 May, Raincliffe Wood Community Enterprise (RWCE) have their AGM at 6pm at Woodend in Scarborough.

I would like to ask members not to accept the update to the articles of association to increase the number of expert directors from two to three, and the number of co-opted directors from two to whatever number they wish.

For five years this board has done nothing, only play around with the articles of association to give themselves more power, if something’s not in their way of thinking.

The last one was to make it easier to remove directors that didn’t go with their way, ie myself.

I set up RWCE five years ago and worked with organisations and individuals. But these organisations were completely ignored. One even put his own money into machinery.

Now RWCE think they can use these people.

In their own words from the minutes of 20 February, that are on the website under governance, some basic facilities are needed as soon as possible to satisfy funders, as they wish to make an application to Tudor Trust to fund a development manager which will more than likely be Nigel Lowthrop or someone to do with Hill Holt Wood or someone from out of town.

The one thing that was expressed at the beginning of this was that the community didn’t want a second Hill Holt Wood, and that should be respected.

I believe RWCE can go forward, without Hill Holt Wood telling us what we do and don’t need. There are organisations and individuals that can take this forward to what this should be, a truly open and transparent organisation built for the community. The organisations and individuals are within the town, not lining somebody’s pocket from out of town, to what is a Scarborough asset, and should be kept local.

So I ask members to use their votes wisely and not accept any change to the articles of association that will give more power to experts and co-opted.

RWCW can take no praise for working with the community. As for the forestry schools, they were there long before RWCE. I am pretty sure some of them will agree with me on that, so RWCE have really done nothing to engage with the community, outside of Barrowcliff.

Whatever part of Scarborough you live in, it’s your organisation, it was put there for you, to have an input and be part of. My vision has never changed. I set this up for the community and for the community to have an input. I am ashamed that, after five years, part of this community is still being ignored. I wish to see something where the people and local organisations come first, as the skills needed are here in the town.

I intend to make a member’s motion, to stop all experts and co-opted from having a vote on the board. I need your vote to do this.

I believe this will be the first step in this becoming a truly community-led organisation, where decisions are made by members put on the board and not the experts and co-opted.

Research on cactus man Alf Ward Dear editor, I hope you will be able to help me in my search for information regarding a former resident of Ridge Green, off Station Road in Scalby.

Alf Ward inspired one of the country's finest cactus growers in Birmingham, David Parker, to start collecting a genus known as hedgehogs in the US because of their prickly constitution.

The botanical name for this genus is Echinocereus, for which I share a passion. A previous editor of CactusWorld put David in touch with Kew Gardens, where an authoritative

300 attend Easter event Dear editor, On behalf of Churches Together in Scarborough (CTS), may I thank Scarborough Review for your timely Scarborough Tale of a previous Walk of Witness through the town and up to the castle on Good Friday.

As it happened, with the date of publication, the April edition of the newspaper was available the day before the event. Perfect timing!

The Walk of Witness is CTS’s biggest event in the calendar. Once again it was well-supported with around 300 people in attendance, and many more joining the walk en route. Many from different denominations and churches came together to be part of the walk.

It began at Alma Square, where drama of the arrest of Jesus took place. Actors were under the direction of Anita Hill. The local Salvation Army Band played Easter hymns and the walk moved on to the Brunswick shopping centre, where drama of the time with Pontius Pilate and the crucifixion took place. More singing from the crowds and then a moving solo, Were you there when they crucified my Lord? from Rev Mike Leigh.

Accompanied by a bleak drum-beat, the crowd moved on to the castle where, during a short service, a Good Friday message was given by the recently appointed vicar of St Mary’s, Rev Richard Walker.

We were grateful for the timely weather, having a reasonable day sandwiched between two rather wet days.

Future CTS events include a springtide conference from 8-10 June and a joint service for Pentecost Sunday on 20 May, both at St Mary’s.

Many thanks again, Scarborough Review.

THE MYSTERIES OF CLOUGHTON’S STONE CIRCLE Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology

The remains of Cloughton stone circle “The traveller who would see the stone circle on Cloughton Moor must take the road to the Falcon Inn”, according to the secretary of the East Riding Antiquarian Society.

“Not that the inn has anything to do with the object he is in search of, but it may not be out of place to advise that a good meal of eggs and turf cakes may not be a bad preliminary to the business at hand”, said AN Cooper, quoted in the Scarborough Mercury in 1920.

Compared to the grand clocks of Stonehenge and Avebury, the little stone circle on Cloughton Moor is a pocket watch, tucked away in the waistcoat of the North York moors.

But like any small timepiece, size adds to its charm, and though many of the cogs are missing we can still easily imagine the jeweller’s hand in its construction, setting it off on its journey, in a fixed point through space-time.

The key to stone circles is the surrounding landscape. Many circles are surrounded by a ridge or escarpment which funnels or marks the sunlight at dawn and sunset on certain days of the year. Notches made for the moon and certain stars can be marked out.

Certain types of stone are used; some local and some moved from far away.

British archaeologist Aubrey Burl hypothesised that you could calculate the size of an ancient population from the size of their stone circle using the formula πR2 given

A stone was marked with a cross in the 17th century as part of the Whitby strand boundary that standing in a crowd packed shoulder to shoulder or standing in a crowd comfortably with a little personal space would take up 0.6m to 2.6m depending on how popular the performance was.

With his tongue in his cheek, Burl advised,

The stone circle from the air “always work clockwise when measuring stone circles for fear of rousing the devil”.

The Cloughton circle was called the Druids Circle on a map drawn up by antiquarian Robert Knox in 1820. He thought it originally had 24 stones. After much destruction, only

A drawing of two of the stones which are now in Scarborough Museum

15 remain. Today, a few stones are hanging or have fallen or been broken. They are no higher than four feet and the circle has a circumference of 32 feet.

A large flat stone about four feet by two once lay at the centre and may have formed part of a burial chest. Covered in beautiful cup and ring markings, it was thought to be one of the best examples of rock art in the area. It is now in the care of Scarborough Museum along with other stones rescued from the site by a Mr Tissiman, secretary of Scarborough Philosophical and Archaeological Society, as stones were being removed from the site and used for mending roads in the 19th century.

Knox was fascinated and outraged by the ancient Britons and their “wretched and crude” existence. His writing, though an invaluable source of knowledge, is in a style that is often difficult to fathom, being both speculative and full of moral outrage.

Of the Cloughton circle, he writes: “These stone-pillars are as rough as the patriarchal altars of the Israelites. The human offerings to Apollo or to the sun sat on a stone sacrificial seat with their backs to a perforated pillar, bound to it by thongs, with their faces south east to behold the deity (at dawn) while being immolated”.

His drawing shows a stone with a hole and depicts a bound victim ready for sacrifice.

This brutality represented the prevailing opinion of the ancient Britons. After a recumbent stone at Stonehenge was labelled ‘the slaughter stone’, every stone circle in the country took on an air of sinister horror.

Later, in the more rational 20th century, archaeologist Frank Elgee suggested the Cloughton stones were just a burial circle.

He said many tumuli have a ring of stones around them. A burial circle may have been a simple burial mound with a ring of stones but

without the earthen mound.

So the druid circle at Cloughton may have been a lazy tumulus, far removed from the description of Knox’s pagan horde baying for gore on Cloughton Moor.

On a calmer page, Knox states that the original name for the Cloughton circle was simply standing-stones. He suggested that a perforated stone was a sacrificial pillar “dedicated to Terminus, the ancient god of boundaries, who has in some manner protected this old place”. This is missing, perhaps lying beneath the A171 tarmac.

Knox says the circle is labelled in the Whitby Abbey register as Swinestischarge, a hogsty or pigsty, “possibly used by the early monks of the abbey out of the hatred of the thing, like all religious enthusiasts in every age that have successively destroyed each other’s temples. They too wreak their vengeance on this ancient heathen fane (by keeping their swine there); which they then adopted as a boundary to mark their domain … Cursed is he that removeth the landmarks - Deut. XVii 17!!” he adds.

The ancient boundary of Whitby Strand, or parish, passes through the circle and a line of a processional avenue of stones described

by Knox may have been the line of Whitby Strand boundary stones that are still visible by the side of the fields today, looking north.

The Whitby Abbey register states that a crossshape was added to one of the stones in the 17th century to mark it as part of the parish boundary, perhaps illustrating that the circle has always been a meeting place. This cross stone is still in situ.

TAURUS

20ST APR - 20TH MAY

If you need to make a couple of minor sacrifices and compromises, then make them with an open heart. You can achieve much of what you seek to achieve – but not all at once! There is plenty of emotional support and advice from spouses and partners, but this is a time when some kind of professional advice might carry more impact.

Finances are not a critical problem at

the moment, but they may become so unless you practice a bit of belt tightening and common sense. This is a concern exacerbated by someone else’s unwillingness to curb their spending.

Recent gains can be lost if you, or someone close to you, is going to ignore the balance sheets.

Birthday celebrations bring a couple of unexpected surprises, and there’s a good travel aspect between the 3rd/6th. The 9th/10th brings good news where jobs and related ambitions are concerned.

GEMINI

21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE

They say that youth is wasted on the young, but at the moment, it is younger members of the sign who seem to be making most of the progress and enjoying most of the fun. If you don’t fall into this category, take a leaf out of someone else’s book, and rather than acting your age, act the age you’d like to be! Much to be gained and nothing lost.

CANCER

FOOD & DRINK • LAMB KOFTAS - INspired by London's infamous Brick Lane • WHAT WE'RE DRINKING Strawberry and Black Pepper Gin

A wonderful opportunity comes your way, but if you say yes to it, you’re really going to upset someone close to you!

This is a no win situation, and all I can say is fortune favours the brave! Intense emotion in relationships can be beautiful, but also quite exhausting. However, if you’re single and you’re looking for love, this could be your lucky month!

LEO

23RD JULY - 22ND AUGUST

It’s spring, so this is a natural time for the birth of everything from children to new jobs and better and brighter ideas for the future. Self doubt is probably your biggest single enemy, so kick it into touch, and rather than playing it safe, be prepared to take a few calculated risks. A direct and honest approach in affairs of the heart gains you brownie points!

HEALTH & BEAUTY • FASHION FOCUS - Life's a beach and we're dressing for it • HEALTH AND WELLBEING - Terry Anne Scholes talks about sleeping soundly

You will feel under pressure as increasingly other people look to you to provide the impetus of leadership. Don’t wobble on this one – just gird your loins and get on with it, because the bottom line suggests that you are the best leadership candidate right now. You need to be strong for other people close to you, and at this time, that’s all that really matters.

LIBRA

23RD SEPTEMBER - 22ND OCTOBER

Librans are not by nature secretive souls, but nevertheless there are occasions this month when you’ll be playing your cards very close to your chest. There are plans in the wind, but you won’t want to share them with anybody until you’re sure of a positive outcome. Anything to do with new knowledge and education should be highly significant.

SCORPIO

23RD OCTOBER- 21ST NOVEMBER

Keep in touch! Email: krystal@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

You might not want to be “in charge” but this is a role thrust upon you and other people will not make decisions ‘till you have decided what you are going to do first.

Tackle any obstacles head on to gain victory and triumph, and as the month unfolds you’ll find yourself on the receiving end of thanks

and appreciation, especially from the 22nd onwards.

SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOV - 21ST DEC

Quite a rosy month in affairs of the heart, and giant strides forwards will be made in any new or recently budding relationships. Travel aspects tie in with family reunions, but some families will experience a diaspora as younger folk fledge the nest.

Long term finances under review, as you will be practical and pragmatic when it comes to doing your sums.

CAPRICORN

22ND DECEMBER - 20TH JANUARY

Capricorns can sometimes be rather isolated, and some effort needs to be made at this time to improve and expand your social circle. New faces bring fresh energy and help generate new ideas. It might be a good time to consider joining a club or taking on some kind of sport or hobby that brings you into contact with other like-minded people.

AQUARIUS

20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY

May should start calmly enough, but there is some turbulence in the wind between the 8th and the 22nd which might bring changes to work routines and some domestic tension. Everything finds itself back on an even keel from the 23rd but you’ll feel a bit battered and bruised. You’ll also feel a bit happier where finances are concerned.

Anything owed gets paid.

PISCES

19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH

Probably a good money month with something beneficial falling in to place around the 9th. Travel aspects (even if we’re only talking about holidays) will be relevant, and there is a “fun” mood taking effect from the 18th or 19th onwards. New emotional confidence coincides with a boost to your financial confidence, the one going hand in glove with the other.

ARIES

21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL

Medical issues may cause some concern during the first few days of the month, but by the 4th or 5th you should be fighting fit, more determined than ever to prove that you’re some kind of super hero.

This mood should be tempered with caution and common sense, and although the outlook is good, you should not commit yourself to any kind of extra work load.

u SMOKING GUN My husband always said he would quit smoking when we decided to have kids, but the baby is due in June and he still hasn’t kicked the habit.

I can’t tell if I’m furious because he’s let me down or furious because of my hormones. Either way I don’t want smoke to be around the baby and the smell makes me feel queasy. I’m so disappointed in him and desperately want him to stop in time. I’ve told him I hate it but it hasn’t made a difference. What can I say to persuade him?

First of all congratulations on expecting your first child! The realisation often kicks in quicker for the woman as she is carrying the baby. But it sounds like your husband has now had plenty of time to get to grips with this. I can’t get into the politics of parents who smoke but I can deal with the fact he told you he would do something that’s important to you, and he still hasn’t.

Make sure you remind him why he said he would do it - for health or financial reasons, maybe for hygiene and smell? Suggest alternatives that you would be more comfortable with, maybe he could go on to an E-cigarette or patches. Have a conversation with him about how its made you feel that he hasn’t done what he promised he would and ask if he’s taking any steps towards doing it. Hopefully you can encourage him in the right direction. Good luck!

u GREEDY COLLEAGUES Work mates keep on stealing my food from the fridge at work. Whenever I get a decent hoard of snacks they go missing and I cant figure out who the culprit is or how to make them stop. I don’t want to come across as petty but its my food that I’ve payed for and I’m sick of having to go out and buy more. Where do I start?

Don’t you just love it when you can attack a problem with passive aggressiveness. Me too! First of all I would label your snacks or put them in a plastic container to discourage; petty but, in most cases, effective. Keep an eye on bins for packaging, if someone is careless enough to eat other people’s food without asking, they’re careless enough to leave evidence lying around. Should you find out who the culprit is, kill them with kindness and buy them some snacks, make a song and dance of gifting them, and loudly joke that it’s so they can STOP BLOODY EATING ALL OF YOURS *manic smile*.

u CATFISHED! Dear Daphne, Im using online dating and occasionally go on the odd casual date. I met up with a girl I’d been talking to for ages - I couldn’t wait. I was pretty shocked when I got there as she looked nothing like her profile picture.

I reckon she must have edited them beyond belief. Not only was she clearly heavier than her pictures made her out to be, but her face looked a completely different shape. The date was a little bit awkward but I got over the shock without saying anything and we had a laugh in the end. I want to let her down gently but really don’t think she’ll have much luck if she carries on dating this way. Do I say anything?

Oh god no! Please don’t damage this poor lady’s confidence by telling her that she didn’t look as good as her pictures for goodness sake! Everyone uses their best pics for online dating, I think it was naive of you to expect her to look exactly like the pictures. Have you actually had any online dates before?

Do you have a teeny tiny feeling you might be being a little bit shallow? If she had turned up and it was apparent she was a completely different person to who she said she was, it would be a different story, it doesn’t sound like this was the case. If you don’t want to see her then that’s your prerogative, don’t explain any further than the fact you don’t want another date.

There’s no need for it and it’s not helping anyone. I’m glad you asked.

TOUR DE YORKSHIRE IS BACK FOR THE THIRD YEAR

by Dave Barry As the Tour de Yorkshire approaches once again, Scarborough is basking in the fact that it is the only town to have hosted a stage finish every year.

The third stage of the race will wind up in Scarborough on Saturday 5 May. For the first time, the route will take in Filey.

Professional racing cyclists from around the world will battle it out over four stages for the Tour de Yorkshire trophy between 3 and 6 May, a day longer than the previous three races.

Stage three, dubbed the Market Towns stage, will start in the Yorkshire Dales town of Richmond and finish in Scarborough’s north bay.

It is 114 miles long.

The route will take in two steep climbs at Sutton Bank, hugely popular with crowds in 2016, and at Silpho.

The riders will enter Scarborough for the first time at 4.38pm. They will race north to south through the centre of town before reaching Filey seafront just before 5pm.

The final stretch will take them back to Scarborough, passing through Ramshill, along Foreshore Road and around Marine Drive.

The frontrunners are expected to sweep into the north bay at 5.38pm.

Scarborough Council leader Derek Bastiman says: “We know how popular and exciting a sprint to the line in the north bay is for riders, organisers and spectators, so we were absolutely delighted to be given another chance to

showcase a memorable finish in 2018.

“We’re also over the moon to see that Filey, for the first time, will get a chance to shine in the Tour de Yorkshire. The town’s community will, without a doubt, pull out all the stops to welcome the race to the Yorkshire coast in true Filey style”.

The council’s member for tourism and culture, Cllr Andrew Jenkinson, adds: “The Tour de Yorkshire is firmly established as one of the most exciting sporting events on the Yorkshire coast’s calendar and for the fourth year running we will get to showcase the best of the borough of Scarborough to a global auTCIOn RTSIDtop & HGof UOthat, ROBRAthe CS bumper crowds of dience.

His recovery went better than expected, and Team Dimension Data have announced he will be fit to compete between 3-6 May. Welcome to Yorkshire Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity said: “Mark is a living legend in the world of cycling and we’re over the moon that he will be competing at the Tour de Yorkshire next month.

“His crash in Italy looked really serious but he’s such a tough, tenacious character and we’re thrilled he’s been able to make such a speedy recovery.

CYCLISTS PEDAL FOR CHURCH ANNEX

PLENTY MORE CYCLING GOING ON...

Bike rides are a breeze for women A NEW series of weekly bike rides for women has just begun.

The Scarborough Scoot Breeze consists of two rides a week, starting and finishing at the Nag's Head in Scalby.

One is for beginners and the other is for intermediates. They start at 6.30pm on Wednesdays.

The routes are in the area, covering as many tracks and quiet roads as possible.

Qualified Breeze leaders will be on hand to help if needed.

The beginners’ ride is for women who have never ridden in a group before or who have not ridden for some time.

Organiser Anne Blood says: “We will begin with short flat rides of about eight miles and slowly build up the speed and distance according to the requirements and confidence of the group”.

The intermediate ride will be for more experienced riders, covering about 15-20 miles

at a reasonable pace and including hills.

Anne says: “We aim to make our rides social and fun, and always come back for a drink at the Nag's Head where everyone is welcome to join us.

“We welcome newcomers and will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider, so no-one is left behind”.

Wearing a helmet is advisable but not

compulsory. It is a good idea to take water, a snack, money for a drink and a bike lock.

Make sure your tyres are pumped up and if possible take a spare inner tube, in case of a puncture. People will be on hand to help with repairs if necessary.

To sign up online, go to www.letsride.co.uk / breeze and click on a ride near Scarborough, then click on steady ride.

Breeze cyclists on Oliver’s Mount

CYCLISTS from St Mark’s Church in Newby are riding to six other churches dedicated to St Mark from 6-9 May. Led by the vicar, Rev Mike Leigh, the 14-strong peloton will pedal 220 miles around the York diocese.

They will visit Marske, South Thornaby, Rawcliffe in York, Anlaby Common in Hull, Bellfield at Sutton-on-Hull and Bessingby in Bridlington.

It will raise money to build an annex at the Newby church and for Christian Aid. Rev Leigh says: “It's going to be great fun and for two great causes. As a church, we have supported Christian Aid for many years and the new annex will provide a new community meeting room, a community cafe and other facilities”.

The ride follows the success of last year's three-day coast-to-coast bike ride, which raised over £12,000.

Donations can be made online at www.justgiving.com/stmarks-newby.

SCARBOROUGH REVIEW LIFESTYLE

RECIPE OF THE MONTH May is the best time of the year to start planting summer hanging baskets, with large selections of trailing, spreading and upright plants to choose from.

Some planning is often necessary; firstly you need to choose the right compost for the job. Choose a good quality, multi-purpose compost with a feed content of four to six weeks. Then add water retaining gel and a slow release fertiliser such as Osmocote; this will keep your baskets going strong without the initial need for liquid feed.

When the basket is flowering heavily, it is a good idea to use a liquid feed as well such as Miracle Gro or even Tomorite, once a week.

Now for the fun part, choosing your plants. There is a huge array of summer basket plants to choose from, as well as many ways to plant up a basket. Whether you prefer a basket full of just one type of plant, such as Surfinia, or a mixed basket with one main, brightly coloured structural plant such as a Geranium or Fuchsia in the middle with trailing plants around the outside, you can create a stunning masterpiece.

FILL 'ER UP! London’s Brick Lane is the vanguard of the country’s street food. Dina Begum’s debut book, Brick Lane Cookbook, celebrates the diversity and history of the street through its cuisine. These koftas are inspired by Sweet & Spicy (a corner café which used to specialise in unfussy Pakistani food. Dina used to visit it with her dad after walking round the Sunday market on Brick Lane).

INGREDIENTS • 1 medium onion, grated • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated • 4 cloves garlic, chopped • 4 green chillies, chopped • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander • 1 teaspoon chilli powder • 1 teaspoon ground coriander • 1 teaspoon salt • ½ teaspoon ground cumin • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric • 600g minced lamb • 150ml vegetable oil, to fry METHOD Put the onion, ginger, garlic, chillies, fresh coriander, chilli powder, ground coriander, salt, cumin and turmeric into a blender with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Quickly blitz to get a coarse paste. Scrape the paste into a bowl, add the mince and mix well with your hands.

1.

2.

3.

Divide the mixture into 16 portions and gently roll each one into a ball between your palms. Flatten each slightly, and put on a plate.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and, once hot, reduce the heat to medi-um-low. Gently slide a few koftas at a time into the oil and cook for four or five minutes on each side until golden brown.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked koftas to a warm dish, then repeat until they’re all done.

These are best served hot with some freshly baked naan bread or chapatti, salad, a good dollop of raita and a spicy hot sauce to recreate those Sweet & Spicy kebab roll memo-ries! A sprinkling of pomegranate seeds and a wedge of lemon also add a lovely touch.

Brick Lane Cookbook is published by Kitchen Press.

Available nationwide, £20.

STRAWBERRY & BLACK PEPPER GIN A proper British bevvy, Bullards Strawberry & Black Pepper Gin is made using real strawberries and hand-distilled gin.

Black pepper, lemon peel and cardamon contribute to its sweet and spicy flavour.

HOW WE’RE DRINKING IT Serve in a tall glass with lots of ice, fresh strawberries, mint and a splash of tonic or lemonade. The ultimate summer G&T. Bullards Strawberry & Black Pepper Gin is available nationwide, RRP £40 a bottle from www.bullardsspirits.co.uk and also from Morrisons.

As a rule of thumb it is recommended to use three to five 9-10cm pot sized plants in a 12-14" basket and five to seven plants in a 16-18" basket.

You can go for a fuller look to begin with by adding more plants, however the basket will need watering and feeding more often to keep the plants happy and healthy.

You should check your baskets for water on a regular basis every couple of days, however during hot, sunny periods a fully planted basket may require daily watering and a weekly liquid feed.

Flowering plants such as Ivy Leaf Geraniums, Surfinias and Fuchsias should be regularly dead-headed by removing the old and dead flowers, which will encourage more flowers to be produced. Many other small flowered plants are self-cleaning so therefore will not need dead-heading.

STOCKED UP If you are looking for some different types of basket plant, Dean’s Garden Centre are stocking several new Petunias such as ‘Baby Doll’ with its vivid pink flowers, speckled with white or Sweetunia ‘Miss Marvellous’ with its deep purple-black flowers with white streaks and edges. You could go one step further and go totally tropical by mixing indoor houseplants such as Hibiscus as a central plant, with bright yellow or orange-red bidens, dark leaved Tradescantia, silver leaved Lotus or Dichondra to tumble over the sides. This would be sure to give your basket the wow factor! However, these should not be put outside until all risk of frost has passed.

Hanging baskets can also be great for edible plants if you are short of space.

Why not try a tumbling tomato variety such as ‘Tumbling Tom Red’ or an old heritage tomato such as ‘Tumbling Tiger’? You could also use Chilli ‘Basket of Fire’ or even a trailing Strawberry. Herbs such as Indian Mint, Thyme and French Lavender also do well in baskets.

Best of luck with yours!

Health and wellbeing by Terry Anne Scholes Teaching my first self-hypnosis class 20 years ago, there were 10 men and 10 women.

On introducing themselves it became apparent that over 50% of them had trouble sleeping.

I was teaching in York through adult education and each new term I experienced the arrival of more non-sleepers.

Here I will share some tips that others have found useful over the years.

Sleep schedule - maintain a sleep schedule of the same bedtime and wake-up time throughout the week.

Evaluate your bedroom - how much technology is in it? Allow the space to be as calm and comforting as possible. Preferably no television and no mobile phone. A blackout curtain can be effective.

Supportive bedding - ensure your mattress is comfortable, turning it regularly. It is advised you change your mattress for a new supportive one every 10 years. Pillows need changing more often. You can do the bedbug test by holding a pillow flat on your hand.

When a pillow is new it will stay flat on your hand. If either side of the pillow droops, it can be caused by the weight of bed bugs.

Exercise - try to get some form of exercise daily and when possible some fresh air too.

Bedtime ritual - this varies for everyone. For some a warm bath helps them sleep. Others find it wakes them up. Reading can be helpful for nodding off.

Leave your worries behind - as you walk into your bedroom, sense and imagine a basket at the door. Gather up your worried thoughts and stresses and leave them outside the bedroom. You can collect them again in the morning. They are not conducive to a good night’s sleep.

Changing bedrooms - not always possible, but if you do have a spare room with a bed in and you are still struggling to sleep, visit the spare room and see if it makes a difference for a night or two.

Eat light - avoid heavy eating near to bedtime.

A light supper and/or warm drink is preferable.

Your stomach needs time to digest food before laying down to rest. * The next Scarborough laughter event is at 6pm on 17 May at the Street. It’s a free event in association with Totally Socially.

WEIRD FISH LAUNCHES NEW COLLECTION USING SUSTAINABLE ECO-FIBRES A popular clothing brand Weird Fish, which opened a store in Scarborough last August, has launched a new Tencel collection for women, comprised of sustainable eco-fibres.

Tencel fibres are composed of wood pulp from fast-growing trees, which are compostable and can fully revert back to nature. As the recipient of the European Award for the Environment, Tencel is non-toxic and is fast becoming a feel-good sustainable wardrobe choice.

The capsule collection from Weird Fish includes four stylish and environmentallyfriendly items. The Shipra Tencel Tunic

(£45) is soft to touch, comfortable and hardwearing. Pair with skinny jeans or leggings for a weekend look. For days relaxing at your favourite coastal town, choose the Anushka Tencel Top (£35). This item has many flattering features, including contrasting colours on the inner cuffs and two patch pockets.

John Stockton, managing director at Weird Fish, commented: “At Weird Fish we are famous for fabrics and we are constantly working with our suppliers to find new and innovative materials to use in our products.

When we heard of the benefits of Tencel it seemed like an ideal choice for us to try.”

Gekoglass launches crowdfunding campaign A LOCAL glass boutique based in Scarborough Market Hall is in the middle of its crowdfunding campaign to buy a new kiln.

The old kiln is now 15 years old and not functioning properly. Kilns can be used to make a majority of Gekoglass’ stock including things like glass bunting, favours for weddings, baby shower gifts, christening gift items and fused glass jewellery.

Because Gekoglass is classed as a 'retail business' its not able to get any grant funding to upgrade its vital equipment.

The owners have been contacting everyone they know, to hopefully generate interest and funding.

Those who pledge money will receive: • £10 + a keepsake tile to say thank you for the pledge • £20 + a handcrafted glass hanger fired by the new kiln.

• £50+ a Scarborough seaside themed hanger fired by the new kiln (limited supply of this item).

The campaign can be found online at: www. crowdfunder.co.uk/kiln-fund Search Gekoglass on Facebook and Twitter too.

Ken strips decades of dirt from paintings Words and photo by Dave Barry

Ken usually takes a photo of each restoration when it’s halfway KEN Wood has through, to a specialist show customers occupation the difference. he’s a painting “It's really restorer. s a t i s f y ing He spends hours when you see and hours, often s o m e t h i ng days and days, restored”, he poring over old says. oil canvases that Ken’s other line have acquired of work is as an a layer of muck over a long Painting restorer Ken Wood (to order photos ring 353597) antique dealer.

He was taught period of time. how to restore paintings over 35 years ago After a few decades, the varnish that was by Ken Malcolm, one of the main restorers usually applied to paintings upon completion at the National Gallery in London. eventually turns yellow.

And if they have been where people have He has spent 20 years buying, restoring and selling paintings then, about 15 years ago, he smoked a lot, the nicotine gets on too.

Ken, of South Street Gallery on Scarborough’s started doing it for other people.

South Cliff, needs endless patience to restore Customers include art dealers from as far away as London as well as many members paintings thoroughly.

Some are in a terrible state when customers of the public. ask him to restore them. “People come in and they think their painting might be beyond repair”, Ken says. “Sometimes the paint is flaking off and they may have holes or tears. I can usually bring them back to their former glory”.

The restoration method depends on the painting. Ken has over 20 bottles of chemicals with varying properties. The tricky part is dissolving the varnish without dissolving the paint.

Each restoration is done gradually, bit by bit, starting with a tiny test area at the edge, to gauge the reaction of the paint.

Don’t judge a book by its cover THE history of book-cover art was explored in a talk by a Scarborough author.

Kate Evans looked at the work of designers such as Vanessa Bell and Edward Bawden, famous for his Scarborough map.

Book-cover art is the often-unacknowledged factor that can encourage potential readers to pick up a book and start reading.

Kate took her audience through the history of book-cover design, paying particular attention to the paperback and considering what is needed to design a truly arresting cover.

The talk was designed to appeal to readers, writers and art and book lovers.

It was given at three places: the library and Woodend in Scarborough and Filey Library.

The Filey talk was on World Book Night Monday. To encourage reading and sharing of reading experiences, a selection of World

Book Night books was available to take away for free.

Kate has written fiction, non-fiction and poetry for more than 30 years.

She is the author of the Scarborough Mysteries crime novels, in which she uses the local seascape Kate Evans in Filey and landscape to explore her characters’ emotions. The titles are The Art of the Imperfect, The Art of Survival and The Art of Breathing. They are available in paperback and on Kindle from Amazon.

Besides being an author, she is a psychotherapeutic counsellor.

Citadel concert raises £1.5k FILEY Fishermen’s choir will hold a singalong session at Irton Garden Centre on 23 May, at 7pm.

Press officer Roger Carr says: “This is a first for the choir, and we are all looking forward to it.

“Everyone is welcome to just come along, relax and join in the singing of some old established favourites”.

Song sheets will be available.

THE annual Friday Night is Music Night at the Salvation Army Citadel raised £1,560.

Arranged by the Rotary Club of Scarborough, it featured Kirkbymoorside Town Brass Band and the Staxton Singers.

The musical director was Andrew Jenkins, the accompanist was Rebecca Wood and the duettists were Eleanor and Libby Wood.

The proceeds will go to two local children’s charities, still to be named, nominated by club president Roger Kaye.

Let there be light THE part light plays in the mastery of watercolour will be demonstrated by Scarborough Art Society’s guest on 2 May, at 7pm.

Shirley Davis Dew, from Fangfoss near York, is an expert in all painting media, says the society’s press officer, Barrie Petterson.

“Some artists paint objects, landscapes and use colour expertly – but have no idea how to paint light.

May 2018 - Issue 57

“This explains why so many pictures have little in the way of shadow or depth”, Barrie explains.

Shirley conducts workshops and demonstrations throughout North Yorkshire.

Her talk will be in the lower hall of Queen Street Methodist Church. Disability access is available.

Guests are welcome and pay £3.

TWO-TIME World Champion Glen Durrant has been added to the line-up for the upcoming darts event at Scarborough Spa. There has been a huge demand for tickets for the inaugural Scarborough Darts Masters, which takes place on Thursday 7 June.

The exciting event will see Dutch great Raymond van Barneveld, who has won five World Titles, compete and entertain alongside the legendary Bobby George, fan’s favourite Tony O’Shea and Yorkshire’s top player Joe Cullen.

Now reigning BDO World Champion Durrant has been brought in as a replacement for Darryl Fitton, who can no longer attend due to unforeseen circumstances.

Chris Murphy, of promoters MODUS Sports, said: “This is going to be a fantastic night and the addition of a two-time and reigning World Champion will enhance the quality and

interest in the event even further.

“The response to the event has already been fantastic and I know the players can’t wait to take the stage.”

French artist who lived in a fantasy world A TALK about a little-known 19th century French artist was given for the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery by Trevor Dance.

Rudolphe Bresdin proved a fascinating subject, says press officer Robin Stenhouse.

He was “a well-read country boy from Brittany, then regarded as primitive, with elaborate religious ceremonies, who was encouraged to go to Paris aged 16, to develop his talent for drawing”.

Although shy and uneasy in the city, Bresdin was accepted by the Bohemian society and given equipment to develop his interest in etching.

However Champfleury wrote a novel clearly based on him, ridiculing him. Bresdin was particularly hurt by the suggestion he could kill his pet rabbit.

After 10 years in Paris, he left and walked

to Toulouse with his pet rabbit, taking three years.

In Toulouse, he got cholera and had four children by the woman who nursed him before marrying her - not an acceptable sequence in France at the time.

Bresdin enjoyed moderate artistic acclaim when commissioned to illustrate a fantasy magazine.

At the age of 50, he took his wife and their six children to Canada but it was a disaster.

He was rescued and taken back to France by Victor Hugo and other Bohemian friends.

The experience depressed him and his wife left him.

Bresdin lived in a fantasy world with no interest in money nor success in society. His goal was to live off the land and earn a little from his drawings. He lived in poverty all his

life.

“He is an artist of the imagination”, Robin says. “His drawings and etchings are intricate, full of black humour and little figures, showing his love of nature. His interiors are of the rural poor”.

The talk was given by Trevor Dance, who showed great sympathy towards Bresdin's ideals and admiration of his work. He has written a book about him.

The Friends' next talk will be in the art gallery on 8 October.

Trips have been arranged for the summer months.

The Friends, a registered charity, exist to support the gallery and its collections.

New members are welcome. The annual subscription is £10.

Curious Roots THE countryside is transformed as plants scramble to greet the sun, and trees are dressed in every shade of green. Among the new hawthorn leaves are clusters of white dots — tiny may buds, poised to open.

Old woods hide shimmering pools of blue.

May is the month for fairy bells, jacinth, or auld man’s bell — all names for our native bluebells. Enjoy their intense violet-blue flowers and heady, spicy scent at Raincliffe Woods, Scarborough, Stray Head Banks, Whitby or Bridestones Moor, Pickering, but please don’t pick the flowers or crush their leaves.

May, with its sudden greening, throws wide the door to summer. And to help things along, we’ll try a bit of sympathetic magic — rolling out the barbecue, or wearing summer clothes even though we’re freezing. Our forebears caught the fever too — what else could explain the maypole?

Finding a suitable tree to be turned into a maypole was an important event in town and country from the fifteenth century onwards.

Painted in stripes and hung with garlands, the maypole was a symbol of community pride. It also aroused strong passions — rival villages sent raiding parties to cut down or steal each other’s maypole. The resentment caused could smoulder for years and injury, even murder, wasn’t unknown.

Those old English maypoles didn’t have long ribbons; they were decorated with hoops covered in leaves and flowers. Men and women danced in a ring while holding hands, or formed lines to weave in and out as they went around, while spectators enjoyed the music, food and drink. Things changed during the Victorian re-invention of May Day, when dancing masters taught children Europeanstyle dances with ribbon weaving. By the end of the century the English ring dances had almost disappeared, and maypole dancing had become mainly a children’s custom.

Maypoles were usually taken down at the end of the month, although some became permanent local features.

A famous maypole, claimed to be England’s tallest, still stands in the Yo r k s h i r e village of Barwick-inElmet.

If you missed May 1 there’s another chance

Muck & Magic

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

to celebrate on the 12th. This is Old May Day, a quirk caused by England’s calendar update of 1752 when eleven days were skipped. Some communities held their seasonal events on the “old” day. Maybe they were right; May Day is not the same without may.

The may tree is the hawthorn, or whitethorn, and the mayflower is its gorgeous blossom.

Hawthorn rarely flowers for May 1, but come Old May Day it’s usually in full, riotous bloom.

The tree was thought to be a force for good.

May garlands with sprigs of may could protect the wearer from sorcery, and a branch with posies of blossom brought luck to the house when hung over the door. But hawthorn was never brought indoors.

May spawned other superstitions. It was an unlucky month to be wed, although it was often chosen for weddings because later on there’d be too much work to do on the land.

And creatures born this month were always trouble. Sows giving birth in May were supposed to eat their own litters. A May-born horse would grow up mean, and given to tricks such as rolling in the water while carrying its rider across a stream. May cats wouldn’t kill mice or rats, but would bring home live toads and adders instead.

May may be merry, but will it be mild? Surely it’s tempting fate to have two Bank Holidays in a month notorious for sudden chills. The period of May 11 to 14 includes the feast days of the so-called Ice Saints — Mamertus, Pancras, Servatius and Boniface — who bring frosts to shrivel young crops and fruit blossom.

Finally, we all want to know about summer. With a freezing March and soaring temperatures in April, this year is turning out very like 2013. May that year was cold and wet, however a good summer followed. So what will this summer bring, average rainfall or deluge?

Folk used to keep an eye on the oak and ash — usually the last trees to come into leaf — to see which would be first to burst its buds: “Oak before ash, sign of a splash.

Ash before oak, in for a soak.”

Find two trees close together, and see which is ahead. Helpful St Urban on May 25 will also give a preview of summer’s weather.

By Shelia Johnson IN the Muck and Magic Garden the spring clean up is in full flow. Rubbish from the garden that has accumulated over the long winter months is now being gathered up to be made ready to go back onto the soil in Autumn. This is the time of the year when the compost heap in the corner of the garden comes into its own. We are all being made aware of how important it is to protect and nurture the earths natural resources and this is something we can all do in our own gardens.

The Muck and Magic Gardeners are often asked about what makes a good compost and the answer is virtually anything with a few notable exceptions.

The list of "goodies" includes lawn clippings, garden waste,newspapers and cardboard that has been shredded and soaked in water.

Veg peelings, fruit waste, tea bags, leaves and annual weeds ( along as they haven't developed seed heads) will also make good compost. Items that won't rot down and won't make good compost include woody sticks and stems and perennial weeds such as docks and dandelions.

According to Anne Artley the secret of producing a good compost is getting the balance of ingredients just right. Anne looks after composting for over 100 plots at Sandybed Allotments and that's a lot of compost! She puts her success down to using layers of different materials in the compost, small amounts of everything rather than large amounts of one or two items. So, according to Anne, if you want to compost your lawn clippings , it's fine. Just layer them up with other ingredients rather than tipping them in all in one go! "Mix it up a bit", is expert Anne's best tip, and you'll get perfect compost every time. Anne also dismisses the idea that you have to spend back breaking hours turning

your compost heap which would put a lot of people off! If you get the balance of ingredients right in the first place there is no need for this unless you really want to! In the ideal world, she says, you need three compost bins on the go, one for filling, one for rotting down and one for using.

If your garden is too small for a traditional compost heap, there may be room for a hot bin which is about the same size as a household wheelie bin but is insulated helping to break down the waste and produce compost more quickly than traditional methods.

Home composting is the most environmentally friendly way of dealing with garden waste and it produces great compost that can go back on your garden improving the soil. I hope we would all agree that anything that diverts waste from landfill must be a good thing.

The Muck and Magic Garden Club will be meeting for a late spring outing to RHS Garden Harlow Carr Harrogate on Saturday May 12th. The next evening meeting will be held on June 11th when our speaker will be John Foxton, former Head Gardener at Castle Howard, talking about Growing Soft Fruit. So if you want to know how to produce first class strawberries and raspberries for summer picnics this is the place to pick up those handy hints and tips.

Finally, there will be a Garden Club plant sale on Saturday 26th June at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine, Scarborough. The fair will be open from 9am to 12 noon and it's an opportunity to search for your favourite summer garden plants.

Happy Gardening!

Scarborough Strata

By Roger Osborne

Primo Levi, the Italian writer and chemist once wrote, ‘The elements sodium and potassium are almost identical in every respect, but it is our [i.e. scientists’] job to investigate and understand the differences.’

Levi’s The Periodic Table is one of the great books of the last century, a beautiful and moving piece of writing, combining scientific insights with huge emotional power.

I was reminded of his insights last week in, of all places, the cellar storeroom of Whitby Museum. I was there to help two researchers from the Natural History Museum to photograph the museum’s beautiful nautilus fossils for a forthcoming guide. They were also compiling a research paper about a group of bivalve fossils. A particular Whitby specimen of bivalve (the family that includes oysters and mussels) was a puzzle. It had been catalogued as species A, and looked identical to photos in the scientific literature; but it also bore a very strong resemblance to species B of which there were several photos available via the wonders of the internet. So, which was it?

After much discussion they decided that they could not decide from photographs alone,

and would have to ‘visit’ the other specimens in the store at the British Geological Survey in Nottingham. Looking back a couple of days later I was struck by the absurdity of four people spending time in a basement turning over an old fossil shell and debating its identity. What could be more ridiculous, and what on earth did it matter whether it belonged to species A or species B? Then Primo Levi’s insight floated up from my memory. It matters greatly that scientists take the trouble to do this kind of figuring out, because this is what science is for. Who knows what use the decision (species A or species B) might be, but science depends on the accumulation of knowledge, so every piece means something. That Primo Levi was a Holocaust survivor (his book If This Is A Man is one of the most important books ever written) makes his belief in science – the open sharing of knowledge between all nations and cultures – all the more poignant and meaningful. Science is being done here on the Yorkshire coast, in the rocks of the cliffs and in the basements of museums. Let’s all be thankful for that.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Words and photos by Dave Barry BELLY laughs mingled with intimate revelations at Scarborough’s annual Books by the Beach.

A compact series of 27 talks, interviews and Q&As at various venues stretched out over five days and paid off in spades for hardworking festival director Heather French.

It kicked off with former stand-up comedian, ex-Times columnist, Radio 4 regular and Scrabble warrior Natalie Haynes.

The hugely engaging, speed-talking classics scholar was one of many guests interviewed on stage by Peter Guttridge.

Later the same day, Nicholas Shakespeare discussed his new biography of Churchill.

He said he’d spent four years figuring out what happened in 72 crucial hours in 1940, when Churchill emerged from a series of meetings as prime minister.

Shakespeare was followed by Ben Smith, who recently ran 401 marathons in 401 days.

He was occasionally joined by runners in Scarborough, about 20 of whom were in the audience (he asked for a show of hands). Ben has given talks for about 12 local schools.

An inspiration in many ways, the former drug addict, who once weighed 17 stones, talked about his struggles with his sexuality, drugs and alcohol.

‘Yorkshire vet’ Julian Norton, who began his career at James Herriott’s old practice in Thirsk, was so self-effacing that he couldn’t bring himself to read from his book, as it felt like showing off, he said.

Instead he read out, from his phone, an email from a colleague recounting in hilariously sordid detail an attempt to artificially inseminate a sow. The tale was more allusive than explicit and had everyone in stitches.

The festival’s traditional Amnesty International talk came from Bali Rai, who discussed his short story The Colour of Humanity.

Talking about race and the way it’s discussed, he rejects the concept of race

More laughter - gales and floods of it - ensued.

Much of it was at the self-deprecating media star's expense, as he played recordings of him being impersonated on Dead Ringers or having the mickey taken in other ways.

He said he’d never performed in the round before.

Natalie Haynes, left, with festival director Heather French (to order photos ring 353597) and recommended Robert Winder’s book Bloody Foreigners, subtitled The Story of Immigration to Britain.

Tony Parsons, ex-music hack reinvented as gritty crime writer, was described by the infinitely erudite and genial interviewer Barry Forshaw as “the former hip young gunslinger of the NME”.

Among the unforgettable questions was: “How were you able to deliver such good copy when you were mostly stoned at the time?”

Jeremy Vine missed his train connection in York so had to take a taxi and arrived late at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. The audience queued patiently down the stairs and into the foyer as the techies set him up.

Duty manager Jason Mullen got the first laugh when he asked if everyone could check their hearing aid, as one was turned up too high and was playing havoc with the sound.

Lionel Shriver with interviewer Peter Guttridge

Lionel Shriver looks rather stern and severe in her publicity photos but was the absolute opposite on stage, speaking with warmth, humour and compassion.

The author of We Need to Talk About Kevin spoke of her attachment to old possessions and confessed to screeching at a plumber who broke something at her home.

A friend said afterwards that he wanted to give her a big hug.

Stella Rimington somehow did and didn’t look like a former MI5 director general: innocuous and unassuming yet sharp and observant, with good recall.

In her old job, she fermented her own spy stories with a female hero, but started her postMI5 writing career with her autobiography

Go wild this summer The Beach Hut team

Photos by Paul Beck BEACH Hut Theatre is inviting people to go wild in Scarborough this summer.

The theatre company is offering a new way of looking at nature and familiar green spaces in the town centre.

Its Wild in the Heart project features six stories for children and families that explore, entertain and provoke discussion around all things related to wilderness and its impact on youngsters.

The Wild Zone, on 26 May, is a new sciencefiction play written and directed by John Pattison.

Set in the 24th century, when the loss of nature has reached a critical point, it tells the story of two scientists who stumble on a secret facility guarded by a quirky super-computer, which may hold the key to humanity’s survival.

To be performed in a large gazebo in the library’s main lending area, the play features

projected images, an immersive 5.1 surroundsound experience and a score by JP. Performances will start at 10am, 11am, noon and 1pm.

Tickets are free but limited. To ensure a place, book at Woodend, in person or by phone, on 384500.

Wild in the Heart continues on 2 June with five 15-minute original plays by emerging community writers, directed by Alison Watt, the company’s co-artistic director.

The plays are Stick! by Paul Beck, Stung by Nettles by Rosie Larner, Classified: Dalby – HCN by Lisa Ponter, Level Up by Paul Spencer and From Little Acorns by Michelle Watts.

They will be performed in green spaces including Albemarle Crescent, Alma Square, the Crescent gardens and Woodend.

The plays will be performed repeatedly between 11am and 4pm.

There’s no need to book; just drop in.

As part of the project, audiences can take part in an urban nature hunt.

Moving between each play, children can pick up a Wild in the Heart card and get it marked with a nature stamp. When they collect all six, they will receive a reward.

Alison said: “For today’s children, there are fewer incentives for them to engage with nature and the wild. There are fewer accessible green spaces available to young people and

many indigenous species are in decline. This lack of contact and awareness means that wildlife and natural spaces are under the threat of becoming increasingly irrelevant in the minds of the young”.

The Wild in the Heart project is a partnership between Beach Hut Theatre, Scarborough Library, Woodend Creative and Scarborough Council, co-funded by Stronger Communities.

before moving on to thrillers. All her books have to be vetted before publication.

She said she joined the service because she “thought it would be fun” and when she rose to head she became the Stella Rimington, first staff member ex-MI5 chief to be publicly named. She and her family had to live covertly for years.

She said she had been to Scarborough many times as a child, for holidays, and for a forerunner of the current book festival about eight years ago.

A fly on the wall at a local fish restaurant would have observed Lionel Shriver, Stella Rimington, Tony Parsons, Barry Forshaw, Heather French and Peter Guttridge engrossed in conversation on the Sunday evening.

They may have been talking about something deep and profound. Or maybe just about something frivolous and trivial. Or maybe they were looking forward to next year’s Books by the Beach. Who knows?

Samantha Ellis was interviewed by Helen Boaden at St Mary’s Church

Joint concert of oratorio at church

SCARBOROUGH Choral Society, St Hilda’s Festival Chorus and the Orchestra of Friends will perform Handel’s biblical oratorio Israel in Egypt at Queen Street Methodist Hall on 9 June.

The oratorio, first performed in 1739 at the King’s Theatre in Haymarket, London, is noted for its large number of choruses, many for two choirs.

Highlights include the choruses The depths shall cover them, as in the Red Sea, and The people shall hear, the beginning of which resembles Surely he hath bourne our griefs, from Messiah, which was completed several years later.

Tickets cost £10 and can be bought on the door and from members. No charge will be made for students and under-16s.

The concert will also be presented at St Hilda’s Church in Whitby on 2 June.

Both performances are due to begin at 7.30pm.

The society will sing Britten’s St Nicolas cantata and Joy to the World by Karl Jenkins at its Christmas concert on 15 December, at Westborough Methodist Church.

Paul Spencer, Jo Pimm and Lisa Ponter Further ahead, the choir will perform Messiah on 13 April next year.

Scandinavian denouement A PAIR of Scandinavian films wind up Scarborough Film Society’s 2017/18 season.

Land of Mine tells the fascinating and largely unknown story of a group of German prisoners-of-war who were forced to dig up millions of land mines with their bare hands, in WW2 Denmark.

Directed by Martin Zandvliet, it explores

A Man Called Ove

ethical tensions between justice and vengeance (15, 101 mins, 7 May).

A Man Called Ove is about the quintessential angry old man with strict principles and a short fuse, enforcing rules that only he cares about.

When a boisterous family moves in next door, an unlikely friendship forms.

Directed by Hannes Holm, it was made in Sweden (15, 116 mins, 21 May).

Films are shown at the society’s new home, St Mary’s Parish House, on the corner of Castle Road and Auborough Street.

Land of Mine Admission costs £5.

Play explores a kinder world A ONE-MAN show exploring k i n d n e s s and cruelty can be seen at Newby & Scalby Library on 16 May and Scarborough Library on 4 June, both at Poet and 7pm. performer Andy Poet and Craven-Griffiths performer Andy Craven-Griffiths ran workshops in libraries earlier in the year to gather stories of kindness from people of all ages and invited people to share their experiences online.

The stories have informed the writing of an interactive show exploring the effects of kindness and cruelty.

Andy said: “We are increasingly sold the idea of our own individuality and importance.

“The aim of the game is to be the most beautiful, to have the biggest TV, to get the most likes and retweets, to eat the fanciest foods and to wear the most expensive and fashionable clothes.

“In all cases, to win for ourselves as separate individuals, that that’s how you get happy. But

what if it’s not? What if the way to a better life is kindness?”

Using research into the biology, sociology and psychology of kindness, the play offers us a view of ourselves as better people.

It’s less the Black Friday sales brawler trampling people for a cheap TV, more the teenager giving up a bus seat for a pregnant woman.

Less the drugs-cheat Olympian, more the Brownlee brothers helping each other over the finish line.

The play, Joygernaut, tells the story of how one person’s view shifts through unexpected trauma, generosity and forgiveness.

Andy has performed his work extensively on stage and at Leeds Festival, Latitude and the Secret Garden Party.

He has had his poetry broadcast on Radio 1, Radio 4 and BBC2 and printed in poetry journals. In 2016, he was one of Radio 3’s Verb New Voices.

He is now writing a play as part of Curve Theatre’s WritersLab and working on a book of poetry for children.

Tickets can be booked on www.facebook.com / joygernaut and at the libraries.

They cost whatever people would like to pay.

POETRY CORNER Tour de Yorkshire Wreck at the Coast

by Anne Pilgrim-Green

by Patrick Henry

It seems that on the 5th of May A cycle race will pass this way: A blur of narrow Spandex bums Look out! The Tour de Yorkshire comes

Swinging round the Cayley Arms past painted bikes and roadside farms Côte de Wilton, Ebberston: you’ll miss it if you blink, they’re gone

Past speed limit approach and quickly on to Côte de Coachman Past the Côte de our lane end and on to Côte de Round the Bend

Should villagers appoint a ‘spokes’person to organise the folks who ‘tyre’-lessly would trim the street with flags and flowers, make things to eat?

‘Brake’ bread with friends from near and far, ‘Gear up’ a man to ‘handle t’ bar, We’ll ‘frame’ some sad re-‘cycled’ puns And ‘chain’ them to the peleton

And when the pageantry has gone, the race is run, the winners won, what’s left? No noise, the bunting’s stilled at least our pot holes have been filled

Recall that face from here, one time sent By urge to move through worldwide zones, From Forces’ call-up, or on his own account: He’ll relate round pubs; in dry, flat tones.

Tales stoked up, when he at last returns.

You can tell east coast sorts: where noone listens.

Tides drone. Gales seethe. Split sea cliffs fall.

Voices roar from the cod pier to the town hall.

Over the right grounds and fair price for fish.

Some grasping quick profits, scrap this place.

Fine buildings sold off and knocked down, By scheming sorts who have smashed this town.

More than the Kaiser’s fleet or the Luftwaffe drone: Shell blasted here in 1914 and in ’41.

Plastic: this new cash, soft folded, or card: Long since the look of our streets façade.

The Grand manner style near ebbs away.

High rise blocks leer like a disaster movie.

Old seamen, come home: for the pub’s ripe crack Through wars and sea storms: find now we are the wreck.

Rob’s poems distil the heart of Yorkshire FOLLOWING the success of its first publication, Scarborough’s Esplanade Press is launching its second volume of poetry.

Moor Poems, written by Rob Tyson and illustrated by Jo Reed, will be launched with a party in the Sitwell library at Woodend on 18 May, from 6-7.30pm.

“It is an ambitious attempt to convey, in straightforward but evocative poetry and images, the raw and panoramic power and beauty of the Yorkshire moors near Scarborough”, says Felix Hodcroft of Esplanade Press.

The landscape is familiar to Rob, who has driven and walked on the moors in every season and every possible weather. “They are hauntingly beautiful,” he says; “superficially desolate but teeming with life and history”.

It is Rob’s first published volume of poetry. After a long career in NHS mental health services, he attended a creative writing course at Hull University’s former Scarborough campus and is the latest graduate to break into print in his own right.

Jo Reed is an acclaimed local artist and art teacher who has published several volumes of poetry with Scarborough’s Valley Press.

Felix says Moor Poems is a worthy successor to Joyce Bell’s Gloriously

Alive, the first volume of poetry to be published by Esplanade Press.

“Like Joyce, Rob is a poet who has found and refined his voice through time and experience. That voice draws on English and Japanese nature poetry but is distinct and unique. His poems distil the very heart of Yorkshire – which means the heart of Britain”.

No charge will be made for admission to the launch party. Refreshments will be served and readings from the book given.

It will be on sale at a reduced price.

Here are two short poems from Moor Poems: Martins I didn’t spot their coming, they simply tumbled into my spring.

Tomorrow their scythe-winged cousins will be hawking flies above my garden and summer will be growing in every corner.

12 Late summer; the morning sun floods heather into glowing purple, the smell of the moor a foretaste of honey to come.

Skating in Barrowcliff A skating rink will be installed at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church in Scarborough on 14 July, from noon until 4pm.

It’s being organised by Barrowcliff Big Local.

No charge will be made.

The rink surface is made of plastic not ice.

Taboo-busting show trailblazes new festival

by Dave Barry A ONE-WOMAN show about death will be performed at Woodend in Scarborough.

Outside the Box, written and performed by Liz Rothschild, has had rave reviews nationally and at the Edinburgh Festival.

Olivier award-winning local playwright Mike Kenny said the show moved him to “laughter and tears”, adding: “I loved this show! I can’t think of anything quite like it”.

Liz has a unique skill-set. She is an actor, a funeral celebrant and the owner of a green burial ground in Oxfordshire which was voted best cemetery in 2015.

She has been collecting stories from her work for years. She has combined them with her own experiences to create a life-affirming, taboo-busting and often funny show that lifts the lid on mortality and invites its audience to address the elephant in the room.

The show is a warm-up for the inaugural Poppin’ Our Clogs festival at Woodend, which continues from 29 June to 1 July.

The volunteer-led, not-for-profit festival will involve carers, relatives and friends who are concerned about the low level of awareness

about our rights and choices when it comes to the end of life.

The festival is the brainchild of Denise Gilfoyle, former head of the Stephen Joseph Theatre’s community outreach team, a woman with an enthusiasm for creating an open conversation around death and dying.

She says: “It aims to inform, entertain and celebrate by creating a safe space where people can share their experiences and give and receive support.

“We couldn’t get a better show to kick off the festival than Outside the Box. It is beautifully performed by someone who has incredible insight, sensitivity and grace. It is the opposite of gloomy. In fact, talking about death can be the most life-enhancing experience, and Liz does this expertly”.

The show starts at 7.30pm and will be followed by an optional feedback and discussion.

Tickets cost £10 and can be bought at Woodend or by ringing 384500. * An awareness day relating to dying, death and bereavement will be held at Woodlands Crematorium on 16 May, during Dying Matters awareness week, which runs from 12-20 May.

Church hosts flower festival A YEAR in the life of St Mary’s Church in Scarborough will be celebrated in flowers from 25-28 May. The annual flower festival, entitled Colours of Church Life, will reflect the changing colours of the altar cloth.

It is being organised by the Friends of St Mary’s, who hope the new mayor, Cllr Joe Plant, will attend a preview on 25 May. Admission will cost £1. Preview tickets cost £5 and can be booked by ringing Friends

chairman Christine Cox on 370382.

Christine said: “Over the years, we have promoted many flower festivals which have raised a lot of money for the restoration of various areas of St Mary’s.

“We began modestly by purchasing pew runners and steady progress has ensured that roofs have been made watertight, the baptistry restored and £35,000 has been spent on the south porch roof and stonework which was in urgent need of restoration”.

Mini-festival on the moors GOATHLAND will liven up a bit when Musicport on the Moors drops in for the bank-holiday weekend.

Topping the bill are Anna & Elizabeth from the USA, Zimbabwe’s Rise Kagona, Muntu Valdo from Cameroon, the Satteli Sisters from Switzerland, the Ukrainians, Alexander D’Great and the Hut People.

Organiser Sue McLaughlin said: “We hope this small festival will become part of the Goathland calendar.

A RUSSIAN classical vocal quartet is returning to Scarborough for another concert.

National Park Authority have awarded us a grant to support this and other events we have planned for 2018, mainly based at the Hut, whose management have been so proactive in allowing this to happen”.

The mini-festival kicks off with a free event on Thursday 3 May, from 7pm.

It will feature local musicians, food, drink and a warm welcome, says Sue. For details, go to www.musicportfestival. com or ring 01947 603475.

“Following a successful concert last year, we are delighted to be welcoming back Lyra to Northstead Methodist Church”, says a spokesperson.

Lyra, from St Petersburg, will perform Russian sacred and secular music, popular classics and folk songs.

Each member is highly trained and educated as either an opera singer or a choir conductor at the Conservatoire of St Petersburg. The ensemble is part of a large community choir.

Great line-up for Filey Tudor play with period folk festival music at Woodend

FILEY’S annual folk festival has become so successful that a fourth day has been added - bank holiday Monday.

More than 100 acts will perform, from 4-7 May. Topping the bill are Fake Thackray on Kyshona Armstrong is at Woodend on Sunday the Friday, Edwina and in Filey on 7 May Hayes, Bric a Brac and Ranagri on the Saturday, Merry Hell on the Sunday and Remedy Club and Kyshona Armstrong on the Monday.

The main venues are the Evron Centre and the

IRISH and American acts are playing at Woodend this weekend, followed by Keith James in May. Remedy Club (Sat 28 Apr), from Wexford, is husband-and-wife duo Aileen Mythen and KJ McEvoy.

They have a classic, rich and wholly authentic country roots sound with sublime vocals, says promoter Chris Lee. KJ, brother of famed folkie Eleanor McEvoy, “is a technically brilliant guitarist and perfectly complements Mythen's stunning vocals: Chris says.

Remedy Club’s new album, Lovers, Legends and Lost Causes, was mixed in Nashville by Ray Kennedy, who worked with Steve Earle and Willie Nelson. It has been showered in critical praise.

Kyshona Armstrong (Sun 29 Apr) is a “powerful soul, R&B and gospel performer” who is based in Nashville, Chris says.

Masonic Hall.

Visitors can expect a broad range in styles including folk, blues, country and acoustic; plus a warm welcome and the famously friendly atmosphere.

Prices vary from £3 for daytime shows to £10 for evening concerts. A four-day ticket costs £30.

The Ramshackle Shantymen, Two Right Uns and Graham Graham Beck will play at the bandstand in Royal Crescent Gardens on the Saturday, from 2pm.

Musicians will also busk on the streets and perform for free at pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Website: fileyfolkfestival.bravesites.com. * Remedy Club and Kyshona Armstrong are also playing at Woodend in Scarborough this weekend.

“Her latest album, The Ride, has been gaining great reviews”, says Chris. “It’s her first visit to the area and I’m really looking forward to seeing her”.

Keith James will celebrate the poetry of Spain's foremost poet, Frederico Garcia Lorca (11 May).

Keith has released 14 albums and played more than 2,000 concerts.

His self-penned tunes revisit the songs of Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, John Martyn and others.

Chris anticipates “a breathtaking and unique concert of Spanish poetry featuring classical and flamenco guitar”.

The gigs are due to begin at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £10 and can be bought at Woodend and online at eventbrite.

Remedy Club and Kyshona Armstrong are also playing at Filey’s annual folk festival, which runs from 4-7 May.

A play about a Tudor earl can be seen at Woodend in Scarborough on 19 May. It has an improbably long title: A Rehearsal of the Life and Death of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.

By Jenny Hill, it premiered at La Rosa Hotel in Whitby in March.

The production is bejewelled with lute songs from the Tudor period, by Dowland and others from Elizabeth I’s circle.

It’s set in 1624, when a lutenist and a singer are preparing a concert to mark the publication of a book, Honour in his Perfection by Gervase Markam, dedicated to the Earl of Essex.

Although the earl was executed for treason aged 36 over two decades earlier, the heroworship that existed during his lifetime continued; he had a huge posthumous following.

The play is about the eventful life of his years at court and later as a soldier, his sometimes stormy relationship with the queen and the tragedy of his early death.

Jenny trained as a singer at the London College of Music. She taught singing for many years and founded three choirs. Her solo experience is mostly in the field of early music. She is also a poet, a member of Whitby Writers’ Group and tours with her collection Voices of the First World War. This is her first venture as a playwright.

Like many lutenists, Simon Nisbett started

out as a guitarist. He became a licentiate of Trinity College, London, in the early 80s and taught guitar in schools in the south-east for many years. He has always loved early music and made the lute his first instrument some 10 years ago, before moving to Scarborough.

He has been performing with Jenny as Merry Melancholy for two years.

The panelled library at Woodend, former home of the Sitwells, has a Tudor feel and makes the perfect setting for this story of romance, intrigue and tragedy. Edith Sitwell researched and wrote extensively about Elizabeth I and her court, including the Earl of Essex.

The performance is due to begin at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £10 and can be booked at the venue or by ringing 384500.

For further information, go to www. woodendcreative.co.uk, merrymelancholy. co.uk and www.facebook.com / tudorsong.

Gigs at the Market Hall Charlie Dore, Bob Collum and the Groundhogs are playing at the Market Hall in Scarborough over the next month.

Multi-award winner Charlie Dore, one of the UK’s most respected songwriters, teams up with multi-instrumentalist Julian Littman of Steeleye Span to share her latest album, Dark Matter. Expect a fast-moving show as the pair swap guitars, mandolin, harmonium, ukulele, piano and banter (27 April £10).

Go west young man! And so they did. Except one guy, Bob Collum, who went east.

Bob traded his home town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the marshy plains of the Thames estuary in Essex, taking with him a country-tinged power-pop with a healthy sense of irony.

Bob’s songs deliver a wry glimpse at life,

love, death and home decorating.

He is backed by the Welfare Mothers.

Although only one is a mother and none is on welfare at the moment, they remain the tightest band this side of the Thames delta (12 May £7).

Ken Pustelnik’s Groundhogs, not to be confused with Tony McPhee’s Groundhogs, are billed as a break-neck blues band, playing “post-apocalyptic acid-rock, prog-rock and blues” (26 May £12).

Promoter Richard Pearson of Radio Scarborough says tickets can be bought in person at Deli-Delicious in the Market, Dyscworld in St Thomas Street and Mojo’s Music Cafe in Victoria Road.

The doors open at 8pm.

Dancers win lots of medals Photos by Mathew R Taylor

Double bill in Hackness A double bill is coming up at Hackness Grange Hotel on Friday 4 May, at 8pm.

The Rattlin’ Sheiks will kick off the night with their old-time Americana, folk roots and jazz compilation of tunes and vocal harmonies.

The Woolgatherers’ range of songs runs from blues to folk to alt country, sometimes with a touch of swing.

It will be the first time at Hackness for Mike Womack and his Knopfleresque guitar style.

The band will perform a mix of their own tunes and some specially arranged covers.

Commenting on Woolgatherers singer Phil Hooley’s songwriting style, Beth Nielsen

Chapman recently told him: “You got it!”

To book, email Hacknessmusiclive@gmail. com.

Medal winners

A GROUP of dancers, made up of juniors and adults from Filey, Hunmanby, Bridlington and the surrounding villages, travelled to Wetherby to compete in the UK-DC White Rose Challenge.

They were representing their dance school, Garage Dance Studio, and teacher, Zoe Ruston.

For many of the dancers it was their first competition, yet they all battled their nerves and rose to the occasion, doing their teacher proud.

The top performers, many of whom won medals, were Lexi Carrigan, Katie Burgess, Lucy Lake, Karen Tayne, Katie Melody, Holly Jepson, Golda Richardson, Tabitha Smart, Lucy Brown and Beckie Holmes. n Anyone interested in learning to dance, for fun, health or to take it all the way to competition level, can ring Zoe on 07968 076679 or visit www.garagedancestudio. co.uk.

All the latest sport news & reviews

Girls football centre launched Words and photos by Dave Barry THE FOOTBALL Association has launched a Wildcats girls’ football centre at Scarborough Sports Village.

The initiative will provide girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football.

It offers organised sessions in a fun and engaging environment created exclusively for girls.

More than 200 clubs were piloted across England in 2017. The scheme is now being extended to 900 centres with, it is hoped, 26,000 participants across the country.

The sessions take place on a weekly basis, at 6pm every Monday until 30 July and maybe longer, depending on the uptake.

Besides playing football in a safe environment, participants should be able to make new friends, develop other skills, learn new things and create the foundation for a lifelong love of football.

The centre will be run in conjunction with North Riding County FA and utilise qualified coaches. In Scarborough, they are the council’s community sports activators, Tony Howard and Rochelle Cammish.

As well as activities for girls, there will be opportunities for parents, carers and siblings to engage with the sport at the same time through family sessions such as soccer-cise and walking football.

The initiative is in line with the FA’s Gameplan for Growth, which aims to double girls’ participation in the sport by 2020.

England and Arsenal women’s star Beth Mead said: “I started playing football at a similar age to a lot of the girls taking part in these sessions and that’s when my love of football began. It’s so important to encourage them to

enjoy the game from a young age and Wildcats provides a great resource for that”.

Scarborough Council’s sports development manager Matt Hewison added: “The sessions will be delivered by our FA-qualified staff at fantastic facilities and will hopefully introduce the game to a large number of girls. One of the other aims of the scheme is to signpost any players to our existing teams of Scarborough Ladies FC and Fishburn Park Girls”.

The Wildcats programme is sponsored by Scottish and Southern Energy.

As well as activities for girls, there will be opportunities for parents, carers and siblings to engage with the sport

Painting of Boro’s return on sale We are the boccia champions!

COPIES of a painting of Scarborough Athletic’s return to the town after 10 years in exile have gone on sale.

The original, by artist Peter Watson, is entitled The Day Football Came Home.

It depicts the match between Boro and a Sheffield United XI in front of a capacity crowd on 15 July 2017.

Peter says: “It was a full house on a special day with a great atmosphere. I have tried to capture some goalmouth action which isn’t always easy.

“In this case, I managed to catch a Scarborough player having a shot as they attacked towards the swimming-pool end in the first half.

“I had to stand on a box at the back of the crowd to be at a decent height to see the players above the spectators. I took a lot of photos to help put the painting together over the next six weeks”.

Boro chairman Trevor Bull was thrilled with the painting: “From the gestures and clapping of the spectators in the foreground to the sea

of red around the stadium, he has captured the scene perfectly.

“One of the prints will be finding a place on my wall at home, to remember a fantastic occasion that we should all be proud of”.

Boro are selling 200 signed prints at £30. They can be bought at home matches and online via the club website.

Peter was previously commissioned by Boro to paint at the McCain Stadium when the home side faced premier-league giants Chelsea in the FA Cup in 2004.

SCARBOCCIA became Yorkshire boccia champions for the second year running, at regional finals in April.

The club will be going to the nationals again, at the Ponds Forge leisure centre in Sheffield on 30 June.

Boccia is a ball game played by competitors who have a physical disability that requires the use of a wheelchair.

The inclusive, non-profit disability club has acquired funding from Yorkshire Coast Homes, the Mears Foundation, the Mayoress’s Community Fund, Proudfoots and the North Yorkshire Stronger Communities Inspire Fund.

The money is being used to purchase competition-standard ramps, boccia ball-

sets and kurling and volleyball equipment.

Although the club’s main passion is boccia, members also play new-age kurling and wheelchair / chair volleyball.

“We want to buy tracksuits for members especially those who frequently participate in boccia competitions and other events such as our work with schools and local groups”, says Linda Clarke-Irons, who chairs Scarboccia.

“We aim to increase community involvement in sport, decrease isolation, improve people’s wellbeing and encourage social integration”.

New members are welcome at club sessions at the Sports Village on Tuesdays, starting at 4pm, and Fridays, starting at noon. n Website: www.scarboccia.co.uk.

Golfers had no need to fret MEMBERS of South Cliff Golf Club in Scarborough were dreading their annual Rabbits versus Ladies match.

“Following what seemed like months of terrible weather with bitterly strong winds, torrential rain and days of fog,

there was some trepidation when it came time to volunteer to play the match”, says press secretary Ann Wrigglesworth.

However, 16 April proved to be a perfect day for golf and the Rabbits won the 4BBB with a score of 157 to 147.

As always, there was a good amount of friendly banter during the day, which finished with a meal and the presentation of the Fowler trophy to Rabbits’ captain John Gibson.

division for next season. Steve Kittrick’s side has been challenging at the top of the table all season, after enjoying a lengthy FA Cup run early in the season, and, along with South Shields and Hyde United, they have now clinched a place in the higher division.

After an exciting run of fixtures, Boro finally sealed their promotion place with two battling away performances, as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Colwyn Bay, with strikes from Max Wright and Jorome Slew on Tuesday 17 April, followed four days later by another comeback as they overcame an early deficit to win 3-1 at Colne, with the impressive Jamie Walshaw netting twice, including one from the penalty spot, and Max Wright also on target.

That win secured Boro the three points they needed to make certain of promotion, and the

match was followed by tremendous seconds of jubilation as the team and around 500 travelling supporters celebrated on the pitch and around the ground. Boro round off their Evo Stik North campaign with a home match against Ossett Albion on Saturday 28 April, and then have the North Riding Senior Cup final against Middlesbrough U23’s coming up at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough on Wednesday 16 May.
