The first Nova train to carry passengers in and out of Scarborough (to order photos ring 353597)

THE first Nova train to carry passengers in and out of Scarborough was late in more ways than one.

The futuristic-looking newcomer, inspired by bullet trains, was originally due to be rolled out at the end of last year. But the introduction was put back to spring because of “a technical issue with a

key on-board system”, according to TransPennine Express.

After training runs for drivers and conductors, the Nova carried its first passengers on 24 August, leaving almost eight minutes late.

Passengers weren’t allowed to board until 10.45am, four minutes after it had been due to depart. The train was full despite being longer

and despite its scheduled departure time being only 14 minutes after the previous one, going to Manchester.

Many passengers were carrying conspicuously heavy bags which would have been much lighter by the time they got off and made their way to York races.

The Nova 3 train has five carriages with 291 seats instead of the three

carriages and 181 seats which local users are used to, and with space for four bicycles instead of two. The doors are at the end of the carriages instead of the side. Thirteen Nova 3s will be pulled between Scarborough and Liverpool by noisy diesel locomotives, with a maximum speed of 100mph.

Double delay for new train CONTINUED FROM FRONT...

“These longer trains will be phased into service and will mean 700,000 extra seats per year for those travelling to and from Scarborough”, TPE said in November.

The Nova 2, operating on the west coast, is electric.

The Hitachi-built Nova 1, on the so-called east-coast line running through York, is electro-diesel or bi-mode.

Novas 2 and 3 are built in Spain by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles. The TPE franchise hopes most of its fleet will be replaced with 45 Novas by the end of the year.

A depot for maintenance, refuelling and overnight parking has been built at the back of Boro Tyres in Seamer Road. TPE says it has cost £11m and created around 15 new jobs.

In April, the railengineer website reported that TPE was investing £500m in 220 new carriages and 13m extra seats across the North and into Scotland by 2020.

TPE’s summer report, covering the period October 2018 to April 2019, reveals that more trains were over 10 minutes late than in the same period in the previous year, up from 17% to 22%; and 60% were at least a minute late, down from 64%.

Nearly 10% were cancelled or arrived over half an hour late, compared with over 7% in the corresponding previous period. From October to April, TPE cancelled 2,040 trains, down from 2,758.

Over 5% of trains had fewer carriages than they should have had, up from 1% in the same period a year before.

Citizens Advice, which has 45 volunteers and six volunteer trustees, is in Elders Street. When it launched in Scarborough, it was in premises across the road, now occupied by Castle House. The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), as it was then called, was in Roscoe street from 1993 to 2014. Before that, it was in a block of former public toilets in King Street.

NEWS IN BRIEF SCARBOROUGH’S Macmillan fundraising group will take part in the world’s biggest coffee morning at the Grand Hotel on 25 September, from 10am until noon. It will feature a tombola, a raffle and stalls selling books, crafts, cakes, etc. Admission will cost

£2.50 including coffee and biscuits, says Joan Forbes, who chairs the group.

BUILDING self-confidence is the theme of a series of weekly meditation classes which resume on 9 September, from 7pm until 8.30pm, at the Friends

project has involved repairs to the arch structure near the cliff lift, the relaying of paths, landscaping and replanting.

The firm, working on behalf of Scarborough Council, says the work will protect up to 400 homes.

The first Nova leaves nearly eight minutes late

The borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, is due to attend a party celebrating the 80th anniversary on 4 September.

Scarborough CAB was one of about 200 CABs which opened across the country on the day the national body was launched, in 1939, says chief executive Anne-Marie Benson.

Today, the Citizens Advice network provides advice Meeting House on Quaker Close, Scarborough.

Geoff Collier, who runs the classes, says: “They will be based on Buddha’s famous teaching on the four noble truths that are still so relevant in this modern world. We will learn to identify, reduce and overcome our difficulties and obstacles so we can begin to relate with confidence to our true potential”. Booking is not required. £6 per class.

in 2,500 locations across England and Wales. It has over 21,500 volunteers alongside 7,000 paid staff.

They give free, confidential information and advice to assist people with money, legal, consumer and other problems.

The charity estimates that its service is worth at least £750m to society.

CAYTON Parish Council is appealing for help with its neighbourhood plan. The authority wants to recruit volunteers with specialist skills and experience in accountancy, planning, design, grant applications and project management or local businesses who could help develop the plan.

Your Letters Lifeboat fundraising and rescues Medieval historians pose good question Dear editor, What you described as a “derelict eyesore” (Scarborough Review, August 2019), currently known as the Argos site, is one of the many locations in the old town of special interest to Scarborough’s medieval historians.

Between 1319, when it was founded by Edward II, and 1539, when it was dissolved and demolished, this was the ground occupied by the Carmelite White Friars, but never subsequently excavated by archaeologists, The White Friars were the poorest and most severe of the monastic orders.

They slept, ate, prayed and studied in individual cells.

They had no dormitory, refectory or church. Every morning they dug a shovelfull of earth for their unmarked graves. They were forbidden to wear shoes, possess private property or eat meat. Their enclosed existence was a continuous round of fasting, prayer, silence and isolation.

Otherwise we know little of the Scarborough Carmelites during their 220 years in the town, except that in 1864 workmen cutting a new road (Market Street) connecting Queen Street with the new, covered market, discovered about 30 buried male skeletons.

At the time there was no understanding of who they had been, but clearly they must have been Carmelites interred in their priory cemetery without coffins or gravestones.

Perhaps one of them was Scarborough-born Robert Baston, “poet-laureate and public orator” at Oxford university, official royal secretary and, at his death, prior of Scarborough’s White Friars. Undoubtedly, he was one of the town’s most distinguished and talented natives.

Do planners and developers have to seek permission to build over known medieval Christian graveyards?

ABOUT a dozen Scarborough lifeboat crew are planning a 145-mile relay run from their lifeboat station to Blackpool’s, to raise funds for the RNLI. They will take turns to run 10 miles, with some doing up to 30 miles over a 29-hour period on 18 and 19 October.

A spokesman said: “This is going to be a tough challenge with it being held in October and going through the Yorkshire Dales”.

Anyone who would like to contribute towards the proceeds should go to the Justgiving website and search for Lee Marton. * A six-year-old lifeboat supporter raised nearly £200 for Scarborough RNLI by making and selling lemonade.

Declan McCoubrey had a little assistance from his mum Prue Hick. Between them, they made a batch of lemonade with lemons and sugar. Declan’s dad, Drew

McCoubrey, helped him paint a table yellow and white.

They stood it outside their home in Greenstead Road, Newby. Declan’s big sister Evie, 10, helped make the signs.

It was a hot day and friends and neighbours bought so many glasses of the thirstquenching beverage that two more batches had to be made. * Scarborough RNLI lifeguards will take on a 10mile stretcher challenge in aid of two other rescue teams.

The group of about 23 lifeguards will carry a colleague on a stretcher, changing every mile, on 2 September.

They aim to raise £1,000 to be shared between Flamborough RNLI and RSPB Bempton.

Lifeguard supervisor Dave Brant says: “This is a great way for us to end our season.

Our lifeguards are in top shape from the summer, but this will still be a challenge”.

A JustGiving page has been set up for donations; search for lifeguard. * A solo yachtsman circumnavigating Britain and Ireland had to be towed to safety by Scarborough RNLI. Sailing against the tide, with a force 8-9 gale forecast, the vessel was 26 miles east of the town when it experienced engine failure.

The all-weather Shannon lifeboat arrived at about 8.30pm. On a rough sea,

with weather conditions deteriorating, the sailor agreed to be towed to the harbour. * Both Scarborough RNLI lifeboats launched when a man fell down a cliff at Cloughton Wyke.

The coastguards’ rescue helicopter was also scrambled and airlifted the casualty from the bottom of the cliff to the top, where an ambulance was waiting to take him to hospital.

Demolition offers golden opportunity to archaeologists Dear editor, Your article in the August edition about the demolition of the old Argos building on Newborough mentioned that it occupies the site of the town’s medieval Carmelite friary, founded in 1319. A block of flats is due to be built on the site.

We appreciate that we can comment on a planning application when it is submitted but at present there is no application and we wish to draw the attention of the council and the public to the archaeological importance of this site.

In particular we recognise the opportunity that an archaeological excavation offers to promote the town’s heritage and get the community involved in exploring the site’s history and archaeology.

Although archaeological mitigation conditions can be imposed on a development, in practice these often result in little more than the bare minimum being done. We feel this site is too

important for that.

As developer, the council can and should go beyond its narrow role as planning authority and grasp the opportunity to put the town’s heritage at the heart of this development and get the local community involved.

We urge them to do so and engage with the local community now rather than at the point when a planning application has been submitted.

Trevor Pearson and Chris Hall S c a r b o r o u g h Archaeological and Historical Society The Street, 12 Lower Clark Street, Scarborough * A Scarborough Council spokesperson said: “The requirement or otherwise for archaeological investigation at the site will be determined through the planning consent process, which is due to commence in the latter part of 2019”.

Chalets broken into and set on fire The fire-damaged chalets

TWO teenage boys have been arrested after a fire destroyed beach chalets in Scarborough’s north bay.

The fire spread through several chalets, say the police, who arrived at 5.10am on 22 August.

Other chalets were broken into and windows broken.

About 20 were damaged all together.

Two youths, aged 14 and 15, were taken into custody for questioning.

The police are urging anyone who has a chalet that has been damaged to ring 101, select option 1 and give details, quoting reference 12190154548, if they have not already reported it.

Fin the Fish swims onto beach to collect plastic waste AN eye-catching receptacle for plastic waste was installed on Scarborough’s south beach in the middle of August.

It will mean less work for the council’s early-morning beach-rakers and the volunteers who collect huge mounds of litter at the end of every day in summer.

The big, fish-shaped bin, dubbed Fin the Fish, is the result of a collaboration between Yorkshire Water, Scarborough Council and Hull University.

Recruited for the launch were sisters Laura and Hollie Pilmer, aged 11 and 13, whose mum Lynnsey works for the water firm. They were joined

by Lynnsey’s colleagues, including Geraldine and Emma Brown, and Emma’s daughter Evie.

Created to show that plastic pollution is damaging all

marine organisms on a daily basis, Fin is one small step towards reducing it and showing that however small everyone’s action is, it can help cut the amount of plastic entering the oceans.

Council cabinet member Janet Jefferson said: “We’re really pleased to support this proactive initiative to help tackle the problems associated with plastic waste.

We hope it will not only be thought provoking but also encourage everyone visiting Scarborough to play their part in keeping plastic off the beach and out of the sea”.

The university says it works tirelessly to find solutions to some of the biggest environmental challenges facing the world, from climate change to plastics, flooding to renewable energy. The uni says its Scarborough team is working in partnership to

deliver two marine-related projects helping to raise awareness of the problems caused by plastic pollution in the seas and waterways.

Professor Dan Parsons, director of the university's Energy and Environment Institute, said: “The world has woken up to the critical issue of plastic pollution in our oceans, which is a growing challenge and is having devastating consequences for marine environments both globally and off the Yorkshire coast. Our scientists are tackling these issues through our research and teaching but we all have a duty to do what we can to protect our fragile marine ecosystems”.

Fin was built in Egton Bridge

by Godbold Blacksmiths and installed by KRC Engineering Service.

As mayor of the borough, she recently visited Gallows Close community centre in Barrowcliff to present certificates to children.

It’s a facility with which Cllr Lynskey is well acquainted.

She is one of the three original directors who have run the centre since 2005, along with

senior youth worker Gill Kay and volunteer Jim Martin.

The directors don’t take any income from the business and have given support financially and with their time since its inception.

So it was with particular pleasure that Cllr Lynskey arrived to formally recognise achievements in various fields by youngsters who use the centre.

She was joined by

development worker Kimmie Avison, entertainer Stephen Brailsford and activity leaders Ewa Graczyk, Alison Taylor, Ryan Hall and Paul Taylor. Ewa and Alison ran gymnastics, street dance and cheerleading classes. Ryan and Paul, who hope to launch an under-10s football team at the centre next year, ran soccer sessions.

Church celebrates 25th anniversary A SCARBOROUGH church is preparing to mark its 25th anniversary with a celebration weekend.

The Methodist United Reformed Church (URC) in St John’s Road, off Falsgrave, opened on 17 September 1994.

On 21 September, a family fun afternoon with a free bouncy castle and barbecue will begin at 2pm; and a concert

by Simply Brass and the Dirty Windows ukulele band will start at 7pm.

On 22 September, at 3pm, a service will be led by Rev Kevin Watson, moderator of the Yorkshire synod of the URC. Everyone is welcome at the three events.

The church cost £321,748, which had been paid by the time it opened. A time capsule was discovered when the foundations were being dug. It contained newspapers dated 1879 and had been sealed into the foundations of an earlier church.

The Primitive Methodist Chapel opened on 28 May 1869. Seven years later, after the addition of an extension at the back, it was still not big enough. Plans were made to build a new church alongside, which opened in July 1880.

The Falsgrave and St John’s Road congregations were amalgamated in January 1965. In 1981 due to serious problems with the roof, the congregation moved back into the original chapel. In 1982, a structural engineer advised that the building should be demolished and it was.

While out walking, Rev Martin Calver of St John’s Methodist Church and Rev Phillip Griffiths of Emmanuel URC talked about working together to build a new church. A covenant between the two churches was signed on 1 July 1990 and a formal merger took place on 7 April 1991.

Today, the longest serving members of the congregation include Lynne and Francis

Appleby, who married at the old church 50 years ago. They had already been attending for about a decade. On the photo of their wedding are, L-R, front: Kath Eddon, Jane Marples, Caroline Robinson, Jane Sanders and Judith Fowler. Back: Eric, Win and David Appleby, Rev Ernest Cook, Francis and Lynne Appleby, Rev Bingley Hall, Margaret and Doug Stephenson.

20 months for vicious attack on woman A SCARBOROUGH man inflicted serious abdominal injuries on a woman during a vicious attack.

At York crown court, Mark David Simmons, 35, of Prospect Park, was handed an 18-month prison for inflicting grievous bodily harm and given a further two months for assaulting the woman.

A seven-year restraining order was imposed, preventing him from contacting the victim or her family.

The assault took place at a hotel in York in the early hours of 4 August. Hotel security staff found the woman distressed, with visible injuries and complaining of chronic pain in her stomach.

She was rushed to hospital and underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured

bladder, a result of Simmons kicking her in the abdomen.

Detective Constable Tracey Brewster of Scarborough CID said: “I would like to acknowledge the bravery and integrity of the victim throughout the investigation and criminal justice process.

She was exposed to a horrific level of violence and will forever carry the physical and mental scars Simmons inflicted upon her. I can only hope that the sentence allows her and her family to move on to more positive times.

“The violence Simmons unleashed on her was shocking.

He kicked, punched and slapped her, leaving her with injuries that required immediate surgery”.

DC Brewster said Simmons had insisted he wasn’t guilty until the last minute.

She added: “I hope this result sends a clear message out to both victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. To victims, I hope it gives confidence and reassurance to come forward to police and make a report. To perpetrators of violence, be assured we will do everything in our power to ensure you are put before the courts and justice is served”.

Housing plan for former plant nursery A PLAN for 40 houses on the site of a former plant nursery in Manor Road has been submitted to Scarborough Council.

The authority transferred the facility to its Dean Road depot and now buys in flowers in an attempt to save money.

The developer, Scalby-based Thompson Homes, says: “The proposal seeks to continue the area’s pattern of twostorey terraced housing. The proposed site plan has been arranged to screen the rear of the existing terraces and the bowling club pavilion. The proposed rear gardens for each dwelling are generally

£1,000 shared between mentalhealth charities

Outdoor fair makes over £1,000 despite stiff breeze A STRONG and persistent southerly gust made its mark at the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers’ annual community fair in Westborough.

Anything light that wasn’t held down quickly disappeared into the firmament or got rearranged.

But the doughty stallholders battened down the hatches, if only metaphorically, and set about raising valuable funds and awareness of their worthy causes.

And then the rain came, dissolving perseverance and sending people home.

The 25 or so stalls stretched from Huntriss Row to Albemarle Crescent, on either side of the pedestrian thoroughfare.

At the centre, a doom-monger quietly warned everyone that their lives would end soon. But probably not too soon as he has been offering his unsolicited warning for many years.

The borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, had a look at every stall, partly with a view to

choosing the best fancy dress.

It can’t have been particularly difficult as few people bothered. The winners were from the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery, followed by Macmillan Cancer Support and Newby and Scalby Library. Another contender for one of the cash prizes was Derwent Valley Bridge Library, whose volunteers dressed as land girls (and a land boy).

Library press officer Pauline Bedford said: “There was lots of footfall and the library must have sold 150 books, which is well up on last year. We were disappointed not to win a prize for our efforts for the beststall competition. However, we enjoyed taking part and dressing up as part of the WW2 land army, at least until the heavens opened and we were rained off”.

Keith Dobbie, who chairs the Rotary committee which organises the fair, said over £1,000 had been raised for club funds.

Land girls L-R, Geraldine O’Brien-Mead, Pauline Bedford, Anita Cassedy, Yvonne Quinsey, Richard Mead and Julie Janes of Derwent Valley Bridge Library

committed to helping people with dementia live well within their community.

Everyone affected by dementia in North Yorkshire can access the group’s helpline, support team and wellbeing services such as the cafés. This means people affected by dementia have a relaxed, welcoming group they can attend every week.

“Our aim is to enrich the local community with dementia

A RAFFLE and a race night at the Newlands pub in Scarborough raised £1,000 for two mental-health charities. £650 was donated to Scarborough Survivors and £350 to the Campaign Against Living Miserably, aka Calm, in memory of Ray Suarez and Cory Wood.

Survivors chief executive Andrea Woolcott said the funds would go towards volunteer-led projects based at the charity’s Mental Health Resource Centre at 9 Alma Square.

Volunteers are being recruited to assist members and reduce stigma and isolation.

The funds will support volunteer resources, training and expenses to enable the running of a dedicated youth space and a listening ear and positive buddy scheme.

Andrea said: “We are are delighted to be a beneficiary of the fundraising efforts and look forward to working together to raise awareness and ensure that those suffering with poor mental health receive the help they need”.

The Campaign Against Living Miserably is leading a movement against male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. The charity runs a free and confidential helpline and webchat - seven hours a day, seven days a week - for anyone who needs to talk about life’s problems. It supports those bereaved by suicide, through the Support After Suicide Partnership.

A spokesperson said: “Together, we’ll help our boys, dads, mums, brothers, sisters, friends and colleagues. We spread our message and facilitate supportive spaces in workplaces, universities, pubs, clubs and prisons across the country, so that people feel empowered to share their experiences and get the help they need before they reach the point of crisis.

“We challenge boring male stereotypes and encourage positive behavioural change and help-seeking behaviour, using cultural touch points like art, music, sport and comedy”.

Dementia issues aired over a cuppa OVER a nice cup of tea, the complex issues surrounding dementia were discussed when a wellbeing café was launched in Scarborough.

Thursday Together, based at St Andrew’s Church hall in Ramshill, is the first of several wellbeing cafés run by Ripon-based charity Dementia Forward.

“It provides a welcoming place for people living with dementia to go each week for lunch, activity and good company”, says volunteer coordinator Debby Lennox. “We hope the café will go from strength to strength with the support of local businesses, volunteers and community groups”.

The café launch was attended

by Cllr Jim Clark, who chairs the county council, and Irene Jervis and Kate Paul, who are dementia support advisors covering the Scarborough area.

Dementia Forward is run by an experienced team which is

specialist services”, says deputy CEO Netty Newell.

“The first step is our wellbeing cafés, but we can’t do this alone. We are seeking support from businesses, local clubs and individuals who can help us raise funds to continue and develop this vital work”.

The cafés have a happy, supportive atmosphere. People go for a light lunch and to enjoy activities such as games and crafts but, most importantly,

to make new friends and have fun.

Netty adds: “If you’re a dab hand in the kitchen, love to chat or want to learn new skills and help people in your local community, please get in touch. There is no obligation to do every week and the more volunteers, the more fun!”

Youth homelessness charity appeals for help A YOUTH homelessness charity in Scarborough needs help to do up its new premises.

Sash, which helped 83 young people in the town avoid homelessness in 2018-19, recently moved to new offices at the Yorkshire Enterprise Centre in Auborough Street.

“We need a makeover”, explained young-person coordinator and active / enable facilitator Tiffany Wilkey.

“Please help us make our young persons’ area a safe space designed and equipped to meet their needs”. * Sash is taking part in the Big Give fundraising campaign to ensure that no young person is left homeless this winter.

The Big Give is the UK’s biggest online matched-donor

campaign which can match donations pound for pound.

Tiffany said: “Christmas should be a time of joy, spent with loved ones. Sadly, for young homeless people it can be a time of extreme loneliness and isolation. This Christmas and winter, Sash is aiming to raise £25,000 to ensure young people in North and East Yorkshire facing homelessness have a safe and warm place to stay in a volunteer’s home, that they are able to access 24/7 care over the festive period and receive a Christmas present and meal with the opportunity to get involved in festive activities such as a panto and ice-skating”. * To offer help, ring 655858 or visit www.sash-uk.org.uk.

Second-hand furniture Delicious temptations store to be relaunched at Filey food festival THE COMMUNITY Furniture Store in Salisbury Street, Scarborough, is to be relaunched on 7 September.

It has a range of affordable second-hand furniture and new products - mainly beds but some white goods.

Its team of happy, well-trained and volunteers reupholster furniture in a specialist workshop,

offering a service which is becoming rarer by the year. Each piece of furniture is upholstered to a high standard, placing an emphasis on ensuring it is sympathetically transformed back to its former glory.

The store is one of three; the others are in York and Selby.

During 2018, the stores reused over 22,500 items of furniture,

electrical appliances and other household items, preventing almost 500 tonnes of landfill waste and helping over 10,000 households to become better homes.

Each store has a workshop that offers training, work experience and wellbeing opportunities.

Home is where the heart is A SCARBOROUGH care provider has launched a livein care service to help families and loved ones stay together in their own homes while receiving the right care.

The family-run company offering the service is Bluebird care. The service will be offered alongside nursing services to allow people in need of care to stay in their homes for was long as possible.

Live-in care is when a professional carer lives in their client’s home to enable their needs to be met. This means they are available to help throughout the day and at night, if necessary. Live-in carers often work in teams of two on a rota pattern of, for example, two weeks on, two weeks off; and will alternate

with the other carer.

Live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to moving into a care home. It enables you to stay in your own home and meet your changing needs.

For some people it offers a way of continuing to live as independently as possible at home in their local community.

Family-run company, Bluebird Care, Scarborough have been striving to make a difference to home care. Directors John, Yvonne and Victoria Webber felt compelled to start the company after having a bad experience of Care in their own family and decided to try and change home care for the better.

As well as enabling as many people as possible to remain at home, the live-in care service

DELICIOUS food smells hung in the air throughout Filey’s second international food festival of the year, at the Evron Centre and in the Crescent gardens.

No sooner had visitors either succumbed to or resisted the temptation to indulge at one stall than another eating opportunity presented itself.

With 60 stalls selling food and drink, it would have been impossible to sample all the culinary and alcoholic delights on offer, although it didn’t stop some people trying.

Some of the foreign flavours came from purveyors of Jamaican, Thai, German and Greek food. One of the longest queues was at the Greek stall outside the Evron Centre, where patient punters waited for koftas, wraps, halloumi, feta and tzatzuki while listening to bouzouki music.

Further Greekness could be found in the centre’s community room, where Manolis Paterakis of the Blessed Olive offered “cold-pressed olive oil from our family groves in Agios Nikolaos and Lithines Sitias in Crete”. The marinated olives, honey, herbs, cheese and bread

were hard to ignore.

Next to Manolis was Portuguese Dominike Couchinho of the Rural Shop, based in County Durham, who travels to many similar markets around Yorkshire. Available elsewhere in the room were chocolate, apple juice, baked products, meat pies and quiches.

Outdoors, in the gardens, people picnicked on the grass and tucked in on the many benches. The town’s cafes, pubs and restaurants enjoyed a brisk trade.

The range of food on offer at the festival was huge: from oysters, crab and lobster to pizza, cheeses and preserves; from shortbread and other bakery products to chilli products and curry mixes.

Meat-eaters consumed hot pork sandwiches, pork scratchings, sausages, Scotch eggs, pies,

pasties and Bratwurst. Sweet toothes were treated to fudge, fresh strawberries, cheesecake, macaroons, flavoured popcorn, ice cream and doughnuts.

Non-edibles included garlic graters, plants and bee products like beeswax candles.

All the food had to be washed down. The Star pub ran a popular bar, Masons sold Yorkshire gin and vodka and Hedge Hoggers served cider.

Real ale was offered by Malton brewery and Round Hill brewery in Billingham. Also available were mead, prosecco, apple juice and coffee.

At least three charities were represented: Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Brain Tumour Research and Smiles to Tanzania.

Filey’s third and last food festival of the year will be on 12 and 13 October.

The Crescent gardens were busy

Bluebird care has launched a new live-in care service in Scarborough.

will also create 32 new live-in care assistant jobs over the next 12 months.

Skills centre to host awards ceremony Dementia memory Dominike Couchinho of Rural Shop (to order photos ring 353597)

S C A R B O R O U G H ’ S Construction Skills Village will showcase its success and pay tribute to supporters at a new awards event on 18 October.

The ceremony will recognise the achievements of individuals across a range of trade areas. Education leaders and sponsors will be among those invited.

Graham Ratcliffe, managing director of Northern Regeneration, which founded the centre, said the awards would “share and celebrate how far we have come, the great progress achieved by our trainers and apprentices and the range of brilliant

support we have received from many key organisations and businesses”.

The centre, at Middle Deepdale near Eastfield, says it has created 52 construction-related jobs and apprenticeships in the area since September 2018.

At an open day on 29 August, children learnt what is on offer and the range of qualifications and career opportunities available. The centre is also for adults, with 15 currently at the site.

The range of trades covered at the centre includes bricklaying, groundworks, property maintenance and joinery. General construction

operatives work on-site and learn a range of skills in drainage, concrete work, kerb edging and general labouring skills. They can work towards an industry-recognised qualification in construction, gain real-life experience by learning on a site environment and be showcased to potential employers.

The centre has been given the backing of Scarborough Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership to relocate to bigger premises at a former farmhouse in Eastfield in a major expansion.

walk in Peasholm Park A MEMORY walk to support people with dementia and their families will take place in Peasholm Park in Scarborough on 15 September, at 1.30pm.

It is being organised by the Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Society.

The 3km walk around the park and glen is accessible to people of all abilities and will focus on enjoyment of the tranquil setting and points of interest. Everyone is invited to wear something blue.

Tim Kirkup, who chairs DAA, said: “Memory walks are vital in raising funds and awareness

to help people living with dementia. It’s an opportunity for all the family to get involved and enjoy a lovely afternoon out together.

“All generations can take part, from mums and dads to grandchildren and grandparents, reflecting the reality that when one person has dementia, it has a life-changing impact on the whole family”.

DAA works towards creating a dementia-friendly society. Organisations signed up to the Alliance include large and small retailers, care providers, local authorities, hospital trusts, emergency services, faith

groups, financial and professional services, charities and transport operators.

Louise Morgan of the Alzheimer’s Society said: “Dementia devastates lives but it won’t win. Until the day we find a cure, we will be here for anyone affected by dementia, wherever they are and whatever they’re going through”.

For a sponsorship pack, ring 500958 or email louise.morgan@alzheimers.org.uk. Or just turn up on the day and make a recommended minimum donation of £5.

Thumbs-up for transport Big bill for farmer in court charity from users A SCARBOROUGH transport charity has had a big thumbsup from its users via a passenger questionnaire.

Dial A Ride, based in Londesborough Road, keeps tabs on users’ thoughts and feelings about the service by soliciting feedback every year.

One of the main findings was that 97% of respondents said Dial A Ride minibuses arrive on time. “Network Rail would be proud of that figure”, muses manager Julie Banks.

“Everyone said they were happy with our drivers and passenger escorts as well as the comfort and cleanliness of our minibuses and accessible cars”, Julie adds.

“What is probably more

significant and relevant in this day and age, is that 99% of our passengers say that using Dial A Ride improves their quality of life, with the biggest advantages being that they can keep their independence, followed by 40% who say they don’t feel as isolated and are able to keep health appointments”.

Some of the benefits passengers say they get from using Dial A Ride are that they make new friends and feel more confident, less lonely and that someone cares about them.

About 15% of passengers are aged 90+. “Must be something in the sea air”, Julie reckons.

A service user commented: “When Mum and Dad moved

into a care home, I wanted to maintain the good things in their lives, especially the Singing for the Brain choir.

DAR has been absolutely central to this, upholding their quality of life and keeping routine. As a carer, I cannot tell you how valued you are, we are never rushed, judged or feel a nuisance and the volunteers’ humour brings something extra to our trips to choir meetings”.

Another said: “You make my mother’s life richer by enabling her to access day care. Even though she doesn’t recall going, her mood is better for it”. * Dial A Ride is always looking for more volunteers.

A PICKERING farmer has had to pay nearly £1,000 for committing three offences under the Wildlife & Countryside Act. Brian Eddon, 50, was prosecuted by Natural England for creating a track at Newtondale site of special scientific interest (SSSI), significant earthworks and the felling and removal of trees and vegetation.

He was fined £200 for each offence and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge and £300 towards Natural England’s costs.

Newtondale SSSI is one of the most important nature conservation sites in North Yorkshire. It is noted for its post-glacial valley landscape with ancient woodlands and extensive

semi-natural grassland and mire vegetation. Sites like this are rare nationally and particularly rare in North Yorkshire.

There are 4,119 SSSIs across England, covering more than a million hectares or 8% of the country. They range from a barn in Gloucestershire, home to lesser horseshoe bats, to huge areas such as 37,000 hectares of the Humber estuary, where a colony of grey seals and 50,000 golden plovers are found.

The unique and varied habitats of SSSIs have developed over hundreds of years through management practices such as grazing and forestry. They need active management to maintain their conservation interest.

Natural England works with more than 26,000 owners and land managers who are instrumental to conserving them.

Newtondale became a SSSI in 1955. It is a large site of 935 hectares in a deep valley extending from north of Pickering towards Goathland, in the North York Moors national park. It is of geological importance as a large glacial meltwater channel and for sections of exposed Callovian age strata. The site is important for its biodiversity and provides a fine example of the succession of habitats between the upland and lower valley regimes which includes woodland, grassland, fen, valley mire and moorland edge.

Summer ball raises £1,250 for hospice A SUMMER ball at the Royal Hotel in Scarborough raised £1,250 for Saint Catherine’s.

Organiser Tricia Prentice said: “We had an amazing night and everyone has given amazing feedback.

Local businesses really did us proud with all the prize donations gifted to us.

“Everybody loved the Dave Challis Band and guests were literally dancing from beginning to end with shouts of ‘more’ still being heard at 12.30am”.

The 115 guests, who paid £30 for a three-course meal and entertainment, included the borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, Filey mayor Jacqui Houlden-Banks, town crier David Birdsall, his consort Veronica Dickinson and, representing the hospice, communications and marketing manager Susan Stephenson, and a supporter, Steve Bambridge.

The hotel’s next fundraising ball, on 28 March, will raise funds for Scarborough RNLI. * Thirty young men who work at Plaxton’s will bare

all for two good causes at a show at the Spa Grand Hall in Scarborough.

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

The entertainment begins in the Spa bar from 6-7pm with music from the Cloughton Rat Pack, King Willy’s Big Band, vocalist Francesca Santamaria and Super-fi, comedian Martin Gold, the Full Monty boys and party band Lady Z and the Monsters.

Raffle prizes include two inflatable hot tubs worth £460 each, pamper days, makeovers, photo shoots and tickets for bungee jumping from Tees Bridge, a York ghost-walk, Europe’s fastest zip wire in Wales and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Staff celebrate Saint Catherine’s ‘outstanding’ rating

Tickets cost £10 and can be bought at the Spa and online; or email organiser Iain Muir on awareness2019@outlook. com. * The hospice is inviting supporters old and new to take part in its annual Sunflower Memories appeal. Hand-made iron sunflowers, created by the British Ironwork Centre, are being offered for a minimum donation of £30.

They have been sponsored

by St Cecilia’s Care Group, whose managing director Mike Padgham said: “As a provider of care for older and vulnerable adults, we work closely with Saint Catherine's and have the greatest respect and admiration for the wonderful work it does in providing palliative care in this area”. Displays of the sunflowers will be created at the hospice and St Cecilia’s sites until on 22 September … * That’s when the Sunrise Walk takes place. Walkers will leave the hospice at 6am and walk around the north and south bays.

* Saint Catherine’s is inviting supporters to take part in its Brightest Sparks quiz at the Spa on 28 September, at 7.30pm. The black-tie event will be compered by Harry Gration of BBC’s Look North.

Sponsored by Jelf, it will feature a drinks reception, a three-course dinner, five rounds of 10 questions, local celebrity hosts for each round, a raffle, dancing until late and a trophy for the winning team. Tickets cost £40. * The hospice has been rated ‘outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission after two inspections. The CQC

is the independent regulator of health and social care services in England. * For further details, or to

Our Co raises £90,000 for local causes in four years SCARBOROUGH charity shop Our Co, which raised £22,121 for local good causes last year, has donated £3,000 to the YMCA. It’s the latest of many Our Co donations to the YM in memory of Eileen Doubtfire, a highlyvalued Our Co volunteer who died in August 2016.

Eileen’s daughter Katie is a volunteer and performer at the YM. She has been a member for 23 years, appearing in many shows and helped direct the YM’s Christmas Cracker productions.

The latest donation will be put towards the cost of computer equipment and software, says manager Steve Marsh, pictured with Liz Duke of Our Co and high-spirited members of the Wizard of Oz cast and other projects.

Our Co has 16 volunteers and was established about

four years ago. “During that time, many of our unpaid volunteers have gained skills, confidence and experience that have helped them find paid employment in the local community”, says co-founder Vronny Thorpe.

“During the four years we have donated approximately £90,000 to local causes”, Vronny said.

“We are proud to be associated with several local projects that provide support to our younger community.

“Eileen was the inspiration behind starting Our Co and we wanted to honour her memory in a meaningful and lasting way. What better way than to support the organisation that has helped her daughter and thousands of other young people?”

The YMCA is self-funding, responsible for raising all the funds needed to provide its

services. It doesn’t receive money from local, regional or national government for the work it does with young people.

Steve says: “We rely on the generosity of individuals and organisations to help make up the £35,000 shortfall we have each year. We are very grateful to Our Co for their support and,

of course, we are keen to hear from other local organisations who would like to help us continue to increase the skills, experience and self-confidence of local young people”.

Ourco is based in Northway.

Donations of clothes, etc, are welcome.

Mosaic and sea cadets nominated for awards A NEW mosaic and the sea cadets in Scarborough are on the shortlist for North Yorkshire County Council’s community awards.

The awards honour volunteers who make a difference in their community.

From 55 nominations for 41 groups and individuals, 15 have been shortlisted.

They include Natalie Davies, the volunteer commanding officer for Scarborough sea cadets. The unit in East Sandgate has over 100 cadets from disadvantaged families.

It offers a wide range of largely free activities, including sailing, windsurfing, rowing, navigation, engineering, first aid, music and catering.

Natalie puts in up to 40 hours a week to take them on the water, help them take apart an engine or teach them first aid. The activities are heavily subsidised, enabling young people from low-income families and single-parent families to take part.

Local clinic expands to Filey SCARBOROUGH’S longest established podiatry and chiropody clinic, Body & Sole Healthcare, have announced the opening of their new branch in The Evron Centre in Filey.

The clinic is owned and run by HCPC registered podiastrist, Tamsin Borthwick. Having qualified in Podiatric Medicine in 1992, Tamsin worked in the NHS for several years before moving to private practice 21 years ago. Only HCPC registered practitioners can use the legally protected title

Podiatrist/Chiropodist.

Offering reasonable prices and easily accessible to the residents of Filey, the clinic offers an excellent range of general foot care including: Hard skin removal Nail care Diabetic feet Rheumatoid arthritis Verrucaes Plantar fasciitis Orthotics The new Filey Clinic is located at Room 9, The Evron Centre, 1A John Street, Filey, YO14 9DG. Telephone 01723 372540.

Road has been shortlisted for an award for the best community project.

The big glass-tile creation is an arts and heritage project that complements the Scarborough Trails, Discoveries on your Doorstep and Pathways to Health initiatives designed to encourage health and wellbeing.

The mosaic was commissioned by the Weaponness Valley Community Group to offer the community and other groups input into the design and an opportunity to take

part in weekly workshops with professional ceramics artist Gaby Naptali.

A panel of judges, including representatives from the council, volunteer organisations and young people, will visit the shortlisted nominees in September to choose the finalists.

The category winners will receive £1,000 for the project, group or charity. Two runnersup in each category will receive £250. The awards ceremony will be held in Harrogate on 25 October.

Discount wills for charity members SCARBOROUGH law firm Pinkney Grunwells is offering discount wills to members, families and friends of the local charity Yorkshire Coast Sight Support throughout September.

The initiative will run alongside the national Remember a Charity week, from 9-15 September, when people drawing up wills are encouraged to leave money to charity.

A YCSS spokesperson said: “As

a small charity with no regular funding or support we rely on donations and gifts in wills to keep offering our much-needed service. We manage with a minimal number of staff and rely on our generous volunteers to allow us to keep running our lunch clubs, driving our minibus and offering outings and events throughout the year.

Scarborough has one of the highest populations of visually impaired and it is increasing at a steady rate”.

Talk by Thai rescue divers

TWO divers who helped rescue boys trapped in caves in Thailand last year are to talk about the experience in Scarborough.

Mike Clayton and partner Emma Porter played key roles in extracting the children from underground.

Mike, 51, was born in Scarborough and attended Wheatcroft and Raincliffe schools, then Leeds University.

He is the safety officer with a training and equipment company and equipment officer on the British Cave Rescue Council (BCRC). A keen caver with experience in China, Thailand and North Africa, he chairs the Midlands Cave Rescue Organisation and has been involved in cave rescues for 18 years.

His role in the Thai rescue operation was to support the diving team at the surface, helping to source the vital equipment needed. Knowing most of the divers and the equipment needed for cave diving was a great help.

Emma, also a member of the BCRC, helped co-ordinate the operations to source the specialist equipment required and to arrange speedy transport to Thailand.

The couple, who live in Hampton Loade in Shropshire, will give a talk at Scarborough College in Filey Road on 14 September.

It is being organised by South Cliff Bowling Club, which will receive half the proceeds. The other half will go to the national Cave Rescue Organisation.

‘Men must be aware’ VOLUNTEERS for the Prostate Cancer UK charity raised awareness of the condition at an exhibition at Scarborough Library.

John Dodds and Neil Gardner fielded questions and provided information.

John said: “We’re ready, willing and able to respond

Neil Gardner, left, and John Dodds

“Given that one in eight men will experience prostate cancer, it’s vital that men start taking responsibility for their health”.

A Local Business with National Coverage

Advertorial

Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Limited (POMFS) opened for business in August 2007 and started trading from a small office in Alma Square. From those small beginnings the business has today developed into a client focused business which operates from their Falsgrave Road office.

Managing director Nigel Wood says “our team of 17 highly trained advisers cover the whole of the UK, and will deal with clients anywhere” Locally we have a team of 4 advisers. These local advisers are: GEOFF HILL Started as a Financial Adviser in 1987 and has specialised in mortgage and protection since 2006. He has extensive knowledge in all areas of mortgage and protection and is always on hand to help and support clients through the whole procedure. Clients return to Geoff for their remortgage and are always happy to refer him to their friends and family, building up a large client base.

KAYLEIGH STEPHENSON Began working as a mortgage adviser in 2014, working within the private sector and joined POMFS in October 2017, taking over from David Fletcher a long-standing mortgage adviser with POMFS. Kayleigh works along side 4 Walls Estate Agency in Scarborough and Bridlington and Lisa Crowe Estate Agent in Malton; she is always happy to look at any circumstances and

situations, always going the extra mile for her clients.

JAMES TOAL James began working in financial services in 2015, and has been a fully qualified mortgage and protection adviser since September 2017 and has recently become a qualified Equity Release adviser.

He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the Help to Buy scheme and is always happy to discuss different options with clients, supporting his clients through the whole process from start to finish.

James works alongside CPH Property Services and Ellis Hay Estate Agents in Scarborough and also DMA Estate Agents in Filey.

James joined POMFS in June 2018.

ANITA NEWBOULD Began her financial services career as a bank cashier in 1998, working her way up to train as a financial adviser and qualified in 2001, she qualified as a Mortgage Adviser in 2002. In 2005 Anita began her role as a bank customer adviser.

Anita began working as a mortgage adviser with POMFS in September 2018 and she holds CeFA and Level 4 Diploma in Financial Advice and loves helping people through the process of one of the biggest financial purchases they will ever make. Anita works alongside Colin Ellis Property Services.

They are supported by an experienced office based team who are invaluable in the day to day running and development of POMFS. A BUSINESS BASED UPON

TRUST AND ETHICS Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd does what it says on the box. One of its cornerstone principles is that ‘The Client is King’.

It works alongside Estate Agents in order for them to maximise the turnover in sales by minimising any potential financial impediments and reducing risks so as to provide a seamless ‘one stop shop’ so far as the financial aspects of property transactions is concerned.

The Company’s advisors are highly trained and experienced and one of the company’s ongoing aspirations is to build a lifelong relationship with its Clients.” We don’t see our job as a ‘quick fix’ to a transient situation, moreover we are available at any time of day and night to provide independent advice and to support our Clients over the longer haul” says Nigel. This year Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd is predicting they will handle nearly 1500 mortgage transactions, a far cry from the modest embryonic business which germinated 12 years ago.

The Company has always placed customer satisfaction high on its list of objectives and sees business today as not only a quantitative process but also, importantly, a qualitatively driven one where the way in which analysis and advice is provided is valued and so important. “We pride ourselves on our professionalism and

honesty” says Nigel. This has been recognised by our customer feedback and within the industry where the Company have achieved several national awards from its compliance and business support network.

THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL So, what now for Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd? “Our strength is our staff” says Nigel, “something of a cliché I know but vital if we are to retain and expand our customer base. We will continue to develop our core business of Mortgage advice but we now offer a broader portfolio of financial service advice which has expanded to meet Clients’ needs. The whole spectrum of Lifelong financial planning is so important, especially in volatile times, and our service now goes beyond the buying and selling of property. We want our Clients to have ‘The Peace of Mind’ that good financial advice can give. Clients transactions, especially on the buying and selling of property, can be stressful and the protection of those assets against the vagaries of a modern world needs to be robust.”

The Company reflects Nigel’s dynamism and with a full financial service offering it is in a good position to meet the everchanging world of financial services and to look after, in a holistic way, all its clients’ financial needs.

It continues to invest in its staff, business and the local

community and believes that its key values have helped to project it towards a strong and expanding Client base, many of whom have been referred through personal recommendations and testimonials.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

By Joe Coates

A beach story based on a true event, which happened to my friend John Swift from Barmston. Those familiar with my North Bay Railway books will see a connection with “The New Driver’s Cap”. That tale was based on a similar, though separate, true event - which happened to my friend, train driver Nick Skelton.

AN AMAZING TALE IT WAS Grandpa’s birthday and he was thrilled. Family had clubbed together and bought him a Tilley hat. He had always wanted a Tilley hat, invented in Canada and famous around the world for its quality. And now he had one. Amazing!

He had nearly wept when he opened the box while Freddie and cousin Zinzi sang “Happy Birthday”.

Grandpa took Freddie and Zinzi for a walk at North Bay. He had his Tilley hat on! The Open Air Theatre was busy.

Kylie Minouge was performing that evening and what a great concert that would be. It was amazing!

The beach was beautiful. The tide had turned a while ago and the waves were starting to come in. Surfers had been gathering, waiting to ride the waves. There were still a few seaside-bright windbreaks, tents and deckchairs about. A few children were still playing though many families had

already packed up and headed for home. The lifeguards had finished their day’s duty, keeping the beach a safe place all day until 6pm.

Grandpa, Freddie and Zinzi began to explore the sandcastles, which had been built and abandoned, waiting for the tide to return and flatten them. There were some great sandcastles. Some were in the shape of Scarborough Castle just across at the headland.

Other sandcastles had a moat and tunnels, showing amazing imagination. There were cars and dragons, sea monsters and people’s names, and ….”Look at this!” said Grandpa. “Amazing!”

There was a sand model of Apollo 11, the spaceship that took the first people to go to the moon. It was amazing. Its details were brilliant.

“This is amazing!” said Grandpa. “It was fifty years ago and I still remember it. They went to the moon. Amazing!

Never been done before! The

first man on the moon! All the way to the moon and back!

Amazing!” They all nodded.

“Grandpa!” said Freddie. “I was at Bempton cliffs last week and a guide told us that the fulmar seabird, in its lifetime, will fly as many miles as the distance to the moon and back, twice! That’s amazing as well.

Amazing!” They all nodded.

“Great! What about you Zinzi?

Anything amazing to tell us?”

Zinzi was quiet. “I’ll try to think of something!” she said.

“I know. Remember that 10 year anniversary for Hairy Bob’s Skate Park? About 200 riders on BMX, skateboards, scooters and hardly a collision!

Amazing!” They all nodded.

They continued their walk, getting closer to the sea, though having no intention of paddling.

Grandpa was enjoying this walk.

“What

could be better?” he thought.

“Me and the children at North Bay, Scarborough, on my birthday, and they’ve bought me a Till…...”

He couldn’t finish his sentence, because when he said “Till”, a sudden big blast of wind swooped along the beach and Grandpa’s brand new Tilley hat went flying in the air….. and out to sea!

“Ahhhhhh!” gasped Zinzi. “Oh no!” cried Freddie. “By ‘eck” yelled Grandpa. “That’s me new hat! Brand new today!”

The hat was bobbing on the waves. “Oh Grandpa!” said Zinzi. “It’s too far out to paddle!” said Freddie.

“Tilley hats can float Grandpa,” said Freddie, but Grandpa was very despondent. His Tilley wasn’t coming in on the tide.

“I don’t want to watch this,” said Grandpa. “Let’s go home!”

And so the three began to walk off the beach, slowly, glumly.

They had got about halfway to the beach steps, when somebody started shouting.

A lady was shouting at them.

They turned round and a lady surfer was running towards them, holding up Grandpa’s hat. She had seen what had happened and paddled across to rescue the hat.

“Is this yours mayte!” she said in a clear Australian

accent. “You bet it is, by ‘eck!” said Grandpa in his best Yorkshire accent. “Thank you so much!”

“Moi plisha mayte!” and off she went.

“Grandpa!” said Zinzi. “We all know what that surfer is like,” and they all said it together, AMAZING!!!!!”

Time to go home. What a memorable, amazing birthday for Grandpa!

up at all on that board. As a Beach Boys and Jan and Dean fan I imagined I would “catch a wave and be sittin’ on top o’ the world” in no time at all. My advice to would-be surfers is to get some instruction, join a class.

Laughter is the best medicine WWW.TERRYANNE.COM - TERRYANNE21@GMAIL.COM

WE ALL know the saying laughter is the best medicine and most often this is really true. I have been delivering laughter workshops for 21 years now and its lovely sharing the laughter to help people de stress and live healthier lives.

The benefits of laughter are numerous.

In the 1980’s when American journalist Norman Cousins was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis, a degenerative

disease of the spine, he checked himself out of the hospital and into a motel where he watched several hours of comedy each day to ease his pain. He wrote The Anatomy of an Illness, which is also available on DVD/film which discusses the mind body connection that some of us are not totally aware of.

Other than pain control here are some more benefits of laughter.

Blood pressure can be

reduced when we allow ourselves to belly laugh.

Endorphins are released around the body.

Neutralises cortisol, which is the hormone that helps us de stress by fight or flight.

Exercises muscles which is always a good thing.

Feel good factor kicks into play.

Immune system is boosted helping us be less likely to be unwell.

Treatment times reduced

according to a NHS survey.

Smiles send a message to the brain I think I am happy.

When we allow ourselves to laugh heartily, changes occur in many parts of the body.

Laughter is not the same as humour, it is the physiological response to humour. So we are fortunate that we can create laughter beneficially without any humour involved.

Ever laughed so much with a friend or group of friends and found you have no idea what

HEALTH AND WELLBEING WITH TERRY ANNE

you are actually laughing at?

So we learn from this that we can allow ourselves to laugh purely for the benefits it will give us.

Sometimes when laughing we begin to cry, yes we cry with laughter.

Crying and laughing are both a cathartic response to our emotions.

I love the fact that laughter is Universal, so wherever in the world one is it can be used as a connection to others, even

when there is a language barrier.

After 21 years delivering laughter to individuals, health groups, businesses and social groups in various locations around the world I happily look forward to delivering for another 21 years.

Join in for a laugh……you will be glad you did! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Gardener’s world Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology A STONE shelter in the grounds of Londesborough Lodge on the Crescent was once used by gardeners to store tools.

Now gated off to deter antisocial behaviour, it is described in The Streets of Scarborough

by Raymond Fieldhouse and John Barrett as built in the style of a hermit’s cell.

A hermit’s cell or hermitage is a folly, a novelty popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, often found in the gardens of the wealthy and the aristocracy.

It was a romantic whimsy for those who could afford pineapples (once so expensive that they were hired out by the hour, to adorn the head tables at soirées).

the garden, peeping out of the shrubbery. With this curious provision, the Victorians indulged their fondness for melancholy and sobriety, though social historians admit that little is understood as to why employing an ornamental hermit would ease the doldrums.

Londesborough Lodge was the villa of the first Earl of Londesborough, who used it while taking in the North Sea air and the spring waters at the Spa. This building and the White House next door, previously known as East Villa, form an important group of buildings on the Crescent. Both

shack fabrications and outhouses.

In some cases, such as the one at Londesborough Lodge, the resident hermit didn’t exist, he was only hinted at; his abode was there but the hermit was not. A sign would read ‘Out to lunch’ or ‘Gone fishing’.

In some stately gardens, hermitages had a table and chair outside with glasses, pipe and coat, suggesting the hermit was around but just couldn’t be seen.

Some garden estates employed a member of the lower classes to live in the cell, adopt a druid’s garb and recite a poem or script of classical prose to

The idea of the hermit’s cell became popular in the 18th century and appeared in various building styles in country estates all around Britain, ranging from simple cave constructions to timber

entertain guests.

Stone circles or other ancient ruins such as castles were seen as ideal plunder for constructing hermitages as ruins had an authentic link to antiquity. Many ancient ruins were uprooted and moved to private gardens to improve their character. They were decorated with ferns, fossils

and water features.

The druid’s temple in the grounds of Swinton Park near Masham is a good example of such a folly. It was built in 1821 by William Danby, who paid local workers affected by depression to construct a Stonehenge. He paid one of them to impersonate a hermit by growing his hair and beard long and wild to play the part.

This may explain why the stone circle outside Cloughton was described by 18th century antiquarian Robert Knox as a druid circle. It was on the boundary of the Whitby Strand and Pickering Lythe, near ancient woodland supplying Whitby Abbey. There are no records of the circle ever being occupied by an ornamental hermit but this didn’t stop Knox making a drawing of a victim tied to one of the stones, forever awaiting the druid’s return.

As mentioned in a previous

Robert Knox’s drawing of a hermit at the stone circle near Cloughton

article, classical columns were being duplicated on the porches of the new buildings of commerce. The columns of Jachin and Boaz, according to the Old Testament, stood on the porch way of the great temple of Solomon where, according to myth,

they were inscribed with the information necessary to build a civilisation. As the great industrialists industrialised Britain, they seemed to want classical buildings and craved wild nature. They

would build wildness in their gardens, appropriating ornamental hermitages. Both the classical architecture and hermitages symbolised civic virtue, financial success and eloquence.

“When you are sad, a garden comforts”, according to Monty Don. “When you are humiliated or defeated, a garden consoles.

When you are lonely, it offers companionship that is true and lasting. When you are weary, your garden will soothe and refresh you”.

The idea of a garden retreat reputably originates from the emperor Hadrian, who allegedly made an island in

was said to have places where he could make oil paintings to help him ‘to stave off the black dog’, as he called his depression. Sir John Soane, the architect who designed the Bank of England and Royal Academy buildings in London, had his hermitage inscribed with the words of the Roman poet Horace: Dulce est desipere in loco, meaning ‘a little nonsense now and then is relished by the finest man’, a proverb memorably articulated

by Roald Dahl’s character Willy Wonka.

ScarboroughStrata

By Roger Osborne SCARBOROUGH has its very own rock formation, named the Scarborough formation because it covers most of the visible scar at South Bay. Walk straight out from the Spa at low tide and you’re walking over this fascinating set of rocks.

They are mainly limestone beds but with thin sandstones layers in between, formed in the Middle Jurassic period around 170 million years ago.

So far so good, but what exactly is a rock formation?

Geologists divide up layers of

rock into groups or formations to help them understand the geological past. Each formation contains rocks that are broadly similar to each other, but notably different to those above and below. So the lime-rich Scarborough formation is different from the sandstones of the Scalby above and the mudstones of the Cloughton formation below. The key element here is that rock types – and the fossils they contain – tell us a lot about the environments

in which they were formed.

The Scarborough formation has lots of limestones and fossil shellfish, whereas the formations above and below are rich in plant fossils and are a mix of sand and mud.

All this gives us a picture of our region during this part of the Jurassic period. It seems likely that a coastal plain full of sand and mud brought down to the coast by rivers, was covered in plants like ginkgoes and tree ferns (the Cloughton formation). Then sea levels

rose and the region became a shallow marine environment, ideal for shellfish, which lasted for several million years (the Scarborough formation). After that sea-levels dropped, the sand and mud returned, along with the plant life (the Scalby formation).

That’s just the start of what a single rock formation can tell us. Where it is visible in the cliffs, the Scarborough formation is 30 metres thick at Hayburn Wyke, but thins out to just 3 metres at Cayton

Bay. Going inland, boreholes show the thickness varying between 9 and 14 metres, but the formation persists underground all the way across the North York Moors, to the Cleveland Hills and the Hambleton Hills in the west. This shows that the Middle Jurassic sea flooded an extensive area, and that the flooded area was probably fairly flat but with significant variations. Study of the Scarborough formation rocks can show the direction of tides

and river currents, the makeup of the surrounding land, and a hundred other important details.

This formation is the remnant of an ancient environment, a snap shot of this region 170 million years ago. It reminds us that the earth is an everchanging series of worlds, unfolding through eons of time.

And that, by careful study, we can reconstruct these worlds.

No wonder geology is such a thrilling science.

Curious Roots

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

In September, early mists give way to pleasant sunshine.

Mornings see swallows gathering on gutters and telephone wires, weighing up changes in air pressure against the shortening days.

One morning the time will feel right, and off they’ll go. First stop is usually the Humber estuary where they join up in large flocks with other swallows and house martins.

After weeks of moult-induced silence broken only by the cluck of a blackbird, there’s a hesitant trickle of birdsong.

The sweet sound is almost wistful. The unseen singer is a robin, and this autumn song is a warning to other robins. Every redbreast, male and female, holds its own territory during the winter, and is prepared to fight its own offspring to keep it.

The titmice — great, blue, coal, and long-tailed — pass the winter in mixed flocks.

They stay together as they tour their area, keeping lookout for each other as they search for food. Starlings travel in small flocks of 10 to 20, squabbling over food and scaring off other birds with their strong, sharp beaks.

Starlings are particularly partial to elderberries, and so are we when they’re used to make elderberry wine.

The second harvest month delivers a surfeit of fruits.

What’s more cheerful than a tree laden with ripe apples?

If you’re tired of apples there are blackberries and plums for jam making, rosehips to make syrup, and almost anything can go into chutney.

Rowan jelly goes well with beef, if the blackbirds haven’t eaten all the berries. And let’s not forget traditional crab apple jelly with mint…

It’s not only foodies who are excited by autumn; its luscious colours and mellow days have inspired many poets. The most familiar lines on the subject must surely be these, written 200 years ago this month: “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness/ Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun…”

On September 19, 1819, after a walk along the River Itchen near Winchester, John Keats sat down to compose what would be his last poem, To Autumn. It had been a difficult year. His health was not good, and he knew he could no longer afford to write poetry. Even so, struck by the beauty of the light on the recently harvested stubble fields, he created a subtle allegory from the passage of autumn. Was he contemplating the end of his career as a poet? Or perhaps the cycle of life, that would end for him only two years later at the age of 26?

On September 14 don’t miss the lovely Harvest Moon, rising as the sun goes down.

Every full moon does this, and then on each night following it rises about 50 minutes later. Yet near the autumn equinox the full moon behaves differently.

The Harvest Moon rises further north along the eastern horizon, and on succeeding nights it comes up sooner. This gives several days of moonlight from dusk till dawn, which used to be a boon to harvest workers cutting and binding by hand as they scrambled to beat the weather.

The autumn equinox, when day and night are more or less equal, occurs on September 23.

Afterwards daylight hastens away, retreating

by four minutes each day because of the tilt of Earth’s axis in relation to the Sun. In the second harvest month we dream, like the poets, of crisp, golden days. Not an Indian Summer — that’s next month — but a Blackberry Summer. Then we may see red admirals, their black wings banded with red, feeding on sedum, ivy, michaelmas daisies, and thistles. They’ll even sip on over-ripe fruit, especially plums or bananas.

Red admirals can’t resist them. On the other hand, there’s always a chance that we’ll catch the tail end of an Atlantic hurricane. If you have a real need for a decent day, September 15 is almost always fine.

September 29 is Michaelmas, the 500-year-old festival that died out in the early twentieth century. Families celebrated with a set-piece dinner of roast goose stuffed with the season’s new apples, followed by gooseberry pie. This old quarter day was a time for hiring fairs and livestock fairs; it also marked the end of harvest, and was the closing day of Scarborough’s great fish fair, held for the last time in 1788.

Animals born at Michaelmas were said to be mischievous, but blackberry kittens, particularly tortoiseshell ones, were as lucky as black cats. To attract money luck, try this old charm: pick three bramble leaves — watch out for Old Nick, Michaelmas is when he spits on the berries — and tuck them away with your money. You’ll never go short as long as the leaves are there. And take note of the wind direction at Michaelmas; this shows where winter’s weather will come from.

Muck & Magic

BY SHEILA JOHNSON

SEPTEMBER is one of my favourite months for working in the Muck and Magic garden. The weather is usually pretty good and although summer may be coming to a close early autumn is a beautiful time of the year to be busy in the garden. There are lots of jobs to be getting on with and some pre planning needed for later in the season.

M o s t important of all at the moment is the challenge of keeping those baskets, boxes and tubs in tip top condition for as long as possible.

Watering is more important now than ever as plants will be competing with one another for precious resources, so try to keep up with the daily routine of watering, dead heading and feeding as long as you can. Any raspberry canes which have produced fruit this summer can be pruned to ground level now and the new shoots tied in.

However, if you are lucky enough to have raspberries fruiting now leave the pruning until February when all the canes can be cut down.

If you have large clumps of perennials which need splitting September and October are the perfect time

to do this while the soil is still warm and new roots can be established. But remember that the soil does need to be a bit more moist than it is at the moment so play the waiting game if dividing plants is on your to do list.

This is the perfect time of the year to take cuttings from your plants to bulk up stock for next year. If you are keen to save some money

and are working on a budget in your garden, what better way to replenish stocks of geraniums, Pelargoniums, fuchsias, salvias, penstemons, hebes and many others. Don’t worry if you are not very confident just have a go and surprise yourself with how many new plants you can propagate.

Don’t forget to keep watering your rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias now and well into autumn. This is the time of the year when flower buds are forming for next spring and water is crucial if you want a magnificent display next season.

It’s also time to think about planting spring flowering bulbs now. Daffodils and crocus can go in late September and early October but leave tulips until November. Finally, at risk of mentioning the festive season in September, do you fancy having your own home grown spuds for lunch on December 25th?

If so, get planting now into bags and large pots in the greenhouse and dinner will taste a treat in 3 months time.

Muck and Magic Garden Club returns after the summer break and our first meeting will be on Monday September 9th when Stella Exley from Hare Spring Cottage Nursery will be talking about her work with plant designer Chris Beardshaw. Meeting starts at 7pm. All welcome.

Scarborough Horticultural Society will be staging their early autumn show on September 7th and 8th at Crossgates Community Centre and Yorkshire Pelargonium Club will be meeting on Sunday September 22nd at Seamer Memorial Hall beginning at 2pm. All welcome.

Happy Gardening!

Queen Machine

Lewis Capaldi and Queen Machine at Open Air Theatre Queen Machine, the London Symphonic Rock Orchestra and one of the UK’s biggest musical theatre stars team up for a new Queen show at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre.

Queen Machine Symphonic stars Kerry Ellis, who has forged a career in music with the guidance and mentoring of Queen guitarist Brian May. Kerry was the first person to take the role of Meat in Queen musical We Will Rock You. Since then, she’s forged a long-standing musical relationship and friendship with Brian, who says she has “Britain’s most beautiful voice”.

Brian produced Kerry’s debut album Anthems. They jointly released the followup, Golden Days, in 2017, and toured the

UK and other parts of Europe together.

Kerry, the Danish Queen Machine and the orchestra, conducted by Matthew Freeman, promise “an unforgettable night of rock anthems” on 31 August.

Tickets cost between £22 and £70.

Lewis Capaldi, 22, plays his second OAT gig of the year on 30 August.

The Scottish singer-songwriter has achieved global mainstream success over the last 18 months. His breakthrough single Someone You Loved spent seven weeks at the top of the UK singles chart,

making it one of the longest No 1 singles in UK chart history.

In May, he released his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, which remained at the top of the UK album chart for six weeks and charted in the top three all over the world.

The support acts are Seafret, Lewis Watson and Charlotte.

Tickets cost between £24.75 and £38.50.

They can be bought in person at the box office, by phone on 818111 and online via www.scarboroughopenairtheatre.com.

Heritage open days for culture vultures ELEVEN venues in Scarborough, Ayton, Cayton and Hunmanby are taking part in England’s biggest festival of heritage and culture, over two weekends.

The 25th annual heritage open days will run on 13-15 and 2022 September.

This is when the public can visit buildings, or parts of buildings, which aren’t usually open to the public.

They include a cliff-lift machine-room and a few churches in the Scarborough area and, in the villages, a castle, a former prison and a penfold.

Trinity House, in St Sepulchre Street in the old town, was built in 1832 and is one of only four buildings of its kind in the country. The courtyard and boardroom, containing ship models, nautical artefacts, books, pictures and other archive material, will be open (14, 21 Sep 10am-4pm).

The boardroom is lit by three chandeliers given by the Belfast descendants of Edward Harland (of Harland & Woolf fame). As a schoolboy, he watched “splendid East Indiamen of some 1,000 tons burden” being built at the Tindall family’s nearby shipyards.

carries almost half a million passengers a year. Besides having a peak in the machine room, visitors will get a free ride down to the seafront and back.

Visits must be booked by emailing centraltramwaycompany@ gmail.com. Website: www. centraltramway.co.uk.

Several events are taking place at St Martin’s Church, organised by its Friends group.

David Lewis will present an evening of poetry, drama and readings to celebrate the launch of his book One Day in December (13 Sep 7pm).

Working with local Wilfred Owen historian Len Friskney, the author has linked together various aspects of the first world war and the ways they affected the town. The book covers the bombardment on the morning of 16 December 1914 (St Martin’s was hit by two shells), the effects of the war on local people and Owen’s war poetry, written in the town. No charge will be made for admission.

Complementing the book is an artistic response to the bombardment, a cyanotype

entitled The Futility of War

by Angela Chalmers, the church’s artist-in-residence; and an exhibition of photos and information about the bombardment of the area surrounding the church.

Running alongside them will be an exhibition on the life and work of Victorian photographer Oliver Sarony, with a continuous PowerPoint presentation.

Born in Quebec, Sarony trained as a daguerreotypist in New York before travelling to England.

He set up a lavishly decorated studio in Scarborough in 1857. People from all around the country, including the Prince of Wales, travelled to be immortalised. Although less known than his brother Napoleon, he was one of the more successful provincial photographers of his time. His colourful life included sharp practices to get people to part with their money. He was, however, a courageous man who nearly died when trying to rescue members of a capsized lifeboat in 1861, for which he received an RNLI medal for bravery. As his business brought a lot of money to the town, the square in which his studio stood was renamed Sarony Square; it is now St Martin’s Square.

The cyanotype and exhibitions can be seen from 10am-5pm daily from 13-22 September except on the two Sundays (1pm-4.45pm). The church café will be open throughout.

Free 75-minute guided tours of the Pre-Raphaelite stained

glass and decorations will be given at 10.30am daily except Sundays.

The Maritime Heritage Centre boasts a huge trove of information on fishing and shipbuilding, wartime, churches, pubs, etc. The centre, in Eastborough, will allow visitors into its archives room to explore the many artefacts it has been given over the last 10 years (13-22 Sep 11am-4pm).

Chris Hall of Scarborough Archaeological & Historical Society will give a talk at St Andrew’s Church in Ramshill (13 Sep 2pm). The subject will be an old model of the medieval town, which is kept in the church. Chris says: “Scarborough was an important medieval town and this model shows the town at the height of its medieval development. It is a great visualisation”. The church, which has been described as a “cathedral of nonconformity”, will be open from 10.30am to 4pm, its cafe from 1.30pm.

The society is also organising another open day at Ayton castle, once a medieval fortified manor house. Visitors will be allowed in its ruined tower (14 Sep 10.30am-4pm). Chris will give tours of the wider setting of the castle at 11am and 2.30pm. The event will feature mini-digs for kids and a display of artefacts associated with the

Cayton’s 12th century Norman church bears ancient graffiti and a pendulum clock installed in 1947 in gratitude for no-one from the parish being killed as a result of enemy action in either world war. Visitors will be able to access all areas except the tower, with or without a guide, but with a leaflet outlining the ancient features (20, 21 Sep 2-6pm). It’s being organised

by Cayton Parochial Church Council.

As usual, Hunmanby, the largest village on the Wolds, is embracing the open-days event with its own heritage day, organised by the parish council (14 Sep).

The 19th century White Swan is mounting a before-and-after display about the campaign to stop it closing, from 11am.

The former coaching inn and assembly room is on what was formerly the main route

The cliff lift

Built in 1881, the cliff lift near the town hall is a Victorian funicular railway from St Nicholas Street to the seafront (13, 14, 20, 21 Sep 10am and 11am). It’s operated by Central Tramways, which says it

Angela Chalmers’ cyanotype The Futility of War

between Hull, Bridlington and Scarborough. It was the subject of the Save Our Swan campaign when the owner, Enterprise Inns, applied for planning permission for residential development.

Three events are happening between 10am and 1pm.

1. The circular stone pinfold, once used to impound stray animals, and two-cell Victorian lock-up, nicknamed the Black Hole, at the junction of Stonegate and Sheepdyke Lane, will be open.

2. The local-history group is mounting a display at Wrangham House, a former vicarage which was home to the early 19th century archdeacon, literary figure, abolitionist and social reformer Francis Wrangham. An avid bibliophile, he built a new wing, now the hotel dining room, to house his large library.

3. Documents, photos and other items from the parish archives and a mid-19th century oil painting of the village will be displayed at the community centre in Stonegate.

Scarborough comedy and film at the SJT Words

by Dave Barry BY a bizarre coincidence, a film and a BBC comedy, both called Scarborough, will be shown at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in early September.

They were both filmed in the town and show it in a good light.

The BBC1 comedy stars Jason Manford starts on TV on 6 September. But the first two episodes will be screened at the Stephen Joseph Theatre the day before. The free tickets have all been snapped up.

The opening credits include an aerial shot of North Marine Road, with the sea beyond.

Entitled Scarborough, the six-part series is written and directed by Benidorm creator Derren Litten, who said: “I am so excited [some of] the good people of Scarborough are going to have the chance to see our new show first! It’s a world exclusive and just a little thank you from us for letting us film in your beautiful town”.

Scarborough follows the lives and loves of a handful of residents, bonded by family, friendship and their love of karaoke.

Jason Manford and former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley lead the cast, alongside Stephanie Cole (Still Open All Hours), Steve Edge (Benidorm) and Maggie Ollerenshaw (Last of the Summer Wine).

The show is about a couple who are giving their relationship another go five years after they split. They were always meant to be together but Mike’s ambition to become a professional singer meant he was never at home. Now in his late 30s, he has realised what’s important to him and given up life on the road.

Between the local salon, Geraldine’s, and their favourite karaoke hot spot, the Good Ship, there’s never a dull day in the town. But will the course of true love run smoothly second time around or will the trials and tribulations of their lives get in the way?

The film Scarborough, directed by Barnaby Southcombe, is a tale of forbidden love based on a Royal Court play by Fiona Evans.

Jessica Barden, Jordan Bolger, Edward Hogg and Jodhi May play two couples – each pair a teacher and a student – who spend a lifechanging weekend in the

town.

They seek an escape from the constraints of real life.

In a faded hotel, among the peeling wallpaper and away from the prying eyes of their home town, they laugh, quarrel, make love and enjoy their anonymity.

The hotel rooms are their safe haven but also their self-imposed prison as they don’t dare go out. After all, at barely 16, two of them are still at schoo The other two are their teachers.

Part love story and probing social commentary, the movie has a gripping narrative that uses its structure to explore the boundaries of responsibility and consent.

It will be shown at the SJT on 6 September at 7.45pm and 7 September at 2pm and 8pm. * Other films coming up at the SJT include Mrs Lowry & Son (6-7 Sep), Polityka (11 Sep), Only You (16 & 19 Sep), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (23 Sep) and a short season of films based on Alan Ayckbourn plays. They are Smoking (20 Sep), Private Fears in Public Places (20 & 22 Sep), No Smoking (21 Sep), Absent Friends (21 Sep) and Absurd Person Singular (22 Sep).

Abstract photos of town go on show Photos of Scarborough taken through a nostalgic prism go on show at Woodend on 7 September, until 4 October.

Mostly abstract, the images were shot by Mick Fattorini, whose work is rooted in the history of landscape photography and combines elements drawn from the documentary landscape tradition.

He says: “I am inspired in particular by American photographers from the 19th through to the 20th centuries and by art from all periods but particularly modern and contemporary art”.

In the 1980s and 90s, Mick ran arts and media organisations in Scarborough, Hull, Birmingham and Coventry before moving on to arts and heritage development and management in Leicestershire. Over this time, he continued to make images, initially on film and later, digitally. Today,

he works mainly in South Nottinghamshire.

His Woodend show, entitled Scarborough 1963-1970, refers to the time he and his family lived in the town, which he loved exploring.

“This was a fantastic time for me. I was an intrepid explorer in my own town, hidden among the holidaymakers and day-trippers.

"I have decided to embark on a long-term project looking at those special places of my boyhood wanderings. These images are where I have got so far. They are not intended to be a record of what was and I have tried to avoid the merely nostalgic. Rather they are images of what I see there today and what captures my eye now, through the filter of decades”.

The image titles give an idea of the subject material. Photos taken in the south bay show: Yellow Netting, Footprint and Bottle Top; Many Footprints

Free admission. The event is sponsored by Stronger Communities Grant Funding.

Armageddon never sounded so good A MUSICIAN and composer from Scarborough has released a tongue-in-cheek concept album set when the world ends.

Michael Grant, who lives and works as a professional musician in Manchester, has written a jaunty score largely influenced by ragtime and early jazz.

It's Not Really the Apocalypse tells the story of four friends who wake one day with the mother of all hangovers to discover they are the only humans left on the planet.

Over the course of 14 songs they must adapt to their new lifestyle while overcoming a much greater challenge: learning to live with each other.

The dark subject matter is juxtaposed with a catchy, ragtime-influenced score that is sure to have you tapping your feet and singing along.

Armageddon never sounded so good.

Michael, who came up with the idea in 2017, says: “I had been listening to some twopiano ragtime and thought it would be fun to write a musical that juxtaposed

this relentlessly jolly style of music with a really depressing subject.

“It took me around 19 months to write the lyrics and music for the show, which consists of 14 songs and an overture.

I have mainly based it around ragtime and early jazz, although it does encompass a few other styles such as calypso, blues and pop”.

Using a laptop and some basic recording equipment, Michael recorded it as a concept album over the first four months of 2019. “I recorded the two pianists in Cardiff, then the four singers separately in my room in Manchester before spending

several weeks assembling and mastering the entire album.

“Since then I have completed a script for the musical which fills in the dialogue scenes between the songs”, says Michael, who still works regularly in the Scarborough area with his group, the Jelly Roll Jazz Band. “I am now looking for a company or theatre to stage a premiere production”.

The album is available to buy from Michael’s website, either as a CD or a digital download: www.michaelgrantmusician. com. The website has a free sample download of a track from the album.

Hidden books on the coast Books are being left in public places in Scarborough and Filey to encourage reading.

The books are in resealable waterproof bags with a leaflet explaining the scheme.

Lauren Deighton of education service Coast Tuition explains: “We saw a video on a BBC Facebook page about how people were hiding books in their community for others to find, read and then hide for someone else.

“We have had reports and photos of finds that people have made”, Lauren says.

“People seem to be really enjoying it.

“Kids’ books will be hidden in places kids are likely to find - parks, etc - and we will be hiding books for adults

A book in Filey’s memorial gardens

in suitable places, all over Scarborough and Filey during September.

“We will post on our Facebook page once the books are hidden then people can go out and look for them. In lots of cases people will come across them accidentally but the leaflet

with the book will explain what to do. They can take the book home and read it then hide it again for someone else. People can share their finds on our Facebook page and leave clues to where they are hidden next”.

The Facebook page is called Hidden books on the coast.

Dancing at the Spa THE NATIONWIDE dancing craze popularised by shows like Strictly Come Dancing comes to Scarborough Spa on 15 September.

Howard Beaumont, the Spa’s resident keyboard entertainer, is holding a Sunday tea dance in the Spa

Ocean Room, from 2.30pm until 5pm.

Howard plays a good mix of ballroom and popular social sequence dances.

Admission costs £4; pay on the door. Refreshments are available.

Bus-pass Jed on the celebrity trail Jed Higgins puts his bus pass to good use.

The Scarborough man is obsessed with celebrities, getting their autographs and asking them to pose for selfies with him.

Jed, who works at the Southlands Hotel and volunteers at the YMCA Theatre, has so many photos of himself with famous people that he can’t remember who they all are.

He has travelled to Bridlington, Malton, York, Leeds, Hull and Manchester in search of a signature and selfie. “It sometimes takes up to five hours and sometimes they don't sign which can be upsetting”, he says. “It’s an adrenaline rush and awesome when meeting the stars”.

Jed’s hobby began at the Futurist Theatre, where manager Andrew Nesbit gave him a poster so he could get it signed.

He has been collecting autographs for seven years and has over 400 in his large collection, with pictures.

His favourite is comedian Paul O’Grady, who he met at a Manchester hotel. He says he has also met Nile Rodgers, Bernie Clifton, Sam McNeill, Dave Spikey, Elaine Paige, Pat Sharp, Merrill Osmond, The Beach Boys, The Specials, Jason Manford, Catherine Tyldesley, Michael

Choir welcomes new members PEOPLE who like singing and choral music are being invited to join Scarborough Choral Society as it starts a new season of rehearsals.

Over the years, the choir has sung a wide variety of works ranging from Bach to the Beatles.

In the new season, choristers

will rehearse for two concerts at Westborough Methodist Church. It will perform Alan Bullard’s Christmas cantata A Light in the Stable, Sheffield community carols and other seasonal works on 14 December; and Rossini’s Stabat Mater and Howard Goodall’s Eternal Light

requiem on 16 May. “Some choral experience would be helpful but there are no auditions and you would be very welcome so come along”, says press officer David Keeton.

n The choir meets at Scarborough Tec in Filey Road from 7-9pm Mondays, starting 2 September.

Irish artist returns to art club AN IRISH artist returns to Scarborough Art Society for another demonstration at Queen Street Methodist Church, at 7pm on 4 September.

Andy Broderick’s art practice “focuses heavily on the discipline of drawing and the use of natural materials

and pigments such as earth, tea and pulped plants to develop a spiritual bond and physical affinity with the natural environment and the creatures that inhabit it”, says the club’s press officer, Barrie Petterson.

From Kilkenny, Andy arrived in the UK in 1997 to study fine

art at Teesside University.

Since graduating in 2000, he has been working as an artist from a studio in Saltburn, exhibiting widely around the country and abroad.

Guests are welcome for £3 admission.

phonebox could become world’s Herring girls inspire Old smallest heritage centre mosaic artist A mosaic inspired by the Scottish herring girls who worked in Scarborough in times gone by can be seen at the Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC).

Entitled Herring Girl, it measures 40x35cm and was created by artist Joy Sturgess, who lives in the old town.

Joy and her partner moved to the town two years ago.

“We both love Scarborough, having spent holidays here in the past”, Joy says. “It is such a beautiful and fascinating place. I have been a mosaic artist for over 10 years, working in schools and the community, and have continued to make mosaics since moving here.

“I have worked in Friarage School, where we created butterfly garden mosaics to cheer up the entrance to the Early Years Centre, and in Filey Junior School, where I

Herring Girl by Joy Sturgess

helped children, parents and teachers create a wall of over 100 fish mosaics”.

Joy says she has always been inspired by local history and people's stories. “I first came across the story of the Scottish herring girls when I visited the [MHC]. These women followed the shoals of fish down the east coast and worked long hours bent over a trough full of fish, gutting as many as 50 a minute, and then layering them in barrels

with salt.

“I researched further and watched the woman in the mosaic on a 1920s Pathe News report. I couldn’t see what she was doing with her hands; they were just a blur of movement. The herring boats had deep red sails and were so many that they spanned Scarborough’s horizon like a line of fire”.

The mosaic is for sale, with a price tag of £1,350. The MHC will receive 30% commission.

The mysteries of French history MYSTERIES of French history will be explored in three talks in the handsome, panelled Sitwell library at Woodend Creative in Scarborough.

The subjects are three great mysteries that have fascinated historians, novelists and film-makers.

Who was the Man in the Iron Mask? Was he the illegitimate half-brother of Louis XIV? What was the real truth of the extravagant diamond

necklace made for Marie Antoinette that so damaged her reputation just before the French revolution? And what was behind the brutal murder of the Duchesse de Praslin that provoked the 1848 revolutions which swept Europe?

The Tuesday lunchtime lectures will be given at 1pm on 3, 10 and 17 September

by Tim Tubbs, director of the Woodend-based UK Foundation for Dance.

After gaining an Oxford MA in English literature and language, he pursued a London theatre career and lectured commercially for 10 years on a range of historical, literary and theatrical subjects. In 2008 he returned to his native Scarborough, where he produces, directs, performs and lectures.

Tickets cost £5 (£4 Senior Citizens, UB40s). To book, ring 384500 or email info@ woodendcreative.co.uk.

AN OLD phonebox on Scarborough seafront is being turned into the world’s smallest heritage centre.

The red K6 box on Sandside is being decommissioned by BT due to lack of use.

The Maritime Heritage Centre is celebrating its 10th anniversary by adopting the box and officially establishing it as the world’s smallest heritage centre.

Centre chairman Mark Vesey says: “A local resident contacted us about the phonebox as it is in a dilapidated state and needs restoring to its former glory. Then we can display heritage information inside, telling visitors about the history of the harbour and the origins of our town. We need about £500 to restore it so if anyone can donate time or money, please contact us.

Arty maps on show Hand-coloured maps by Kathy Prendergast and teaching maps by geography students at Bedford College come together in Strata.

This exhibition opens at Scarborough Art Gallery on 14 September and runs until 5 January.

The maps encourage the viewer to look beyond the surface and think about what they can tell us about the wider world and the society that has produced them.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of geologist William ‘Strata’ Smith (1769-1839).

The exhibition includes the first geological map of England, Wales and Scotland that he produced in 1815.

According to BT, nearly 4,000 phoneboxes have been taken into community ownership and set up as mini-libraries, defibrillator points and even the world’s smallest discotheque. A phonebox in Scalby is being used as a defibrillator point.

The K6 kiosk was designed by Sir Giles Scott

The organisers say it will be bigger and better than ever, with local and national museums, universities

and businesses providing entertainment and expertise.

Exhibitors and contributors include the universities of Hull, Leeds and Leicester, the Natural History Museum, the Isle of Wight’s Dinosaur Isle Museum, Whitby Museum, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

Yanks and Brits at Woodend Californian Alice Wallace and her band pay their first visit to Scarborough on 5 October, at 7.30pm.

Wallace’s most recent release, Into the Blue, has had great reviews, says promoter Chris Lee. One reviewer described her voice as “an awe-striking wonder of the West”.

Her music, influenced by Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, has the country

twang with a little yodelling thrown in but appeals to the Americana rock fan as well.

Wallace isn't afraid to tackle topical issues like #MeToo, the recent devastating Californian wildfires and the plight of immigrants on the US/Mexico border.

Her song Desert Rose is a moving, evocative piece depicting an immigrant woman's journey across the border to give birth in a dirty

filling-station toilet.

Her voice is remarkable in its versatility, running the gamut from tender to powerful.

The British support act, Broken Bones Matilda, blend soaring harmonies with a dark rock ’n’ roll attitude.

They have been described as “Nick Cave meets Fleetwood Mac”. n The gig is at Woodend, where tickets can be bought for £12 - or by ringing 384500.

Local man stars in first U3A talk by chocolatier leading musical role Photo by Richard Ponter Meet Tom Astbury, who makes his musical debut at the YMCA Theatre in the title role of the Broadway musical Pal Joey, in its first staging in Scarborough.

Tom, 21, has been acting on stage and film for a few years, but this is his first musical and first leading role locally.

The Rodgers & Hart musical Pal Joey opened on Broadway in 1940 and gave Gene Kelly his first leading role, setting him on the path to Hollywood stardom. A 1957 Hollywood film starring Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak bears only a passing resemblance to the stage show it was based on, with many of the songs dropped in favour of the Sinatra songbook.

The rarely-seen musical is set around a 1930s Chicago nightclub. It follows a handsome loser, Joey Evans,

who finds the women he meets every bit as irresistible as they find him, whether it’s nightclub chanteuse Gladys, married socialite Vera, dewyeyed typist Linda or seen-itall columnist Melba.

“It’s a hugely entertaining musical for grown-ups,” says director Tim Tubbs. “Cynical, sophisticated, intimate, stylish and brash, with a terrific score of great songs, including the standards Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered and I Could Write a Book. We’ve a fantastic cast and production team.

It’s a unique chance to catch a Broadway classic in Scarborough”.

Under the expert musical direction of Alex Weatherhill, Pal Joey is choreographed by Katrina Flynn.

The cast includes Georgie Samuels, Rebecca KellyEvans, Pippa Mundey, Sarah Cox, Claire Edwards,

POEM CORNER

BY BEN ROBINSON

When I Cared The thunderstorm rolls, Through our beachside town, The church bell tolls, And echoes all round.

I look at my clock, It’s just gone 2am, My heart feels at a stop, I remember our fight, That stopped my life.

I poured my heart out for you, I let my feelings into an empty room, Where the flowers can’t bloom.

New stand opens at football ground A NEW covered stand for 1,138 football fans has opened at Scarborough Athletic’s ground.

The Adverset stand, named after its sponsor, has 336 seats and terracing for 802 standing spectators. It increases the ground’s capacity to 2,833.

The stand was opened by the borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, just before Boro’s league game against Buxton.

The club has increased its wheelchair facility from four spaces to 12 in the main stand at the upper concourse level, with easy access to refreshments, toilets and accessible parking facilities.

It has been sponsored by Saint Cecilia’s Care Group and declared open by MP Robert Goodwill.

Having gained promotion to the premier division at the

end of the 2017/18 season, the Seadogs went on to finish eighth last season.

Scarborough Athletic FC was formed in June 2007 by a supporters’ trust following the winding up of Scarborough FC. Its debut season in 2007 was in the Northern Counties East League division one. After spending its first 10 seasons sharing Bridlington Town’s ground, the club moved into the new Flamingo Land stadium in July 2017. The club now plays at Step 3 in the Northern Premier League premier division.

The new stand was made possible by a £150,000 grant from the Premier League, delivered through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund, sister organisation of the Football Foundation.

Another £100,000 came from Flamingo Land for the stadium naming rights, money that Scarborough Council ring-fenced for ground improvements. The rest of the funding came from club supporters.

Trevor Bull, who chairs the club, said: “The construction of the new Adverset stand is the culmination of a two-year process since we returned to the town. The success of the club since our return and the way the town has embraced the club has meant we quickly realised we required more seated and covered terracing.

“Who would have thought when the new club was formed in 2007, that 12 years later we would be playing in front of large crowds again in such an excellent stadium.

It is testament to the hard

work of our club officials and volunteers as well as the loyal support of our fans”.

Council cabinet member Cllr Liz Colling said the club had gone from strength to strength in its new ground.

“It’s wonderful to see the next stage of the journey completed with the opening of the new accessible stand, which has been enthusiastically welcomed by spectators and players”.

Peter McCormick, who chairs the FSIF, said: “It’s fair to say that Scarborough supporters went through some turbulent years at the turn of the century, but the club is now well and truly on the up”

Swimmers complete Bike race tickets to be won Channel relay Photos by John Margetts

A SCARBOROUGH swimming club has conquered the English Channel again.

Over the last six years, three Kingfishers teams have swum the 21 miles to France.

This year, the sea and night were calm and the first in the briny was Maddy Adams, 15. She entered the pitchblack water at Samphire Hoe beach in Kent at 1.24am and swam to the support boat Masterpiece.

Following Maddy was a mixture of adults and juniors – Claire Bamford, Tom Reynoldson, Owen Mahoney, Ellie Knight, Joanne Sedman and Alex Sedman. They had two one-hour swims each.

Alex landed 13 hours, six

minutes and 29 seconds after Maddy set off.

They were supported on the boat by club members Paula Ambury, the club’s open-water coach, and Philip Dickinson, the open-water safety officer.

When they got back to England, they were greeted in Folkestone by their families who had travelled down with them for the week.

“We began training in the North Sea in April to acclimatise ourselves to the cold water”, Paula said. “Our club members have gone to great lengths over the last 18 months to fundraise for the cost of the challenge. Our youngest swimmer was 15 and had expressed an interest

in the previous Channel relay we did in 2017 when she was just 12”.

The club raised £3,500 to pay for the swim. A further £4,000 came from Cty Cllr Andrew Jenkinson from his locality budget. He said: “Teaching children and adults to work together and conquer their fears to swim the Channel is an incredible achievement and one they will remember forever”.

Locality budgets allow North Yorkshire’s 72 county councillors to respond to local needs and requests by recommending funding of up to £5,000 to support projects or activities that benefit the communities they represent.

Scarborough Review has two pairs of tickets to be won by readers for the next motorbike races at the Oliver's Mount circuit.

They are for the Steve Henshaw Gold Cup on 28-29 September.

The TwoFourThree Road Racing Association, which organises the races, has invested over £100,000 in safety improvements and renovations for the public, riders and marshals.

After a gap last year, road racing returned in July with the Barry Sheene Classic.

The circuit has hosted some of the world’s greatest bikers, with the likes of Geoff Duke, Bob McIntyre, John Surtees and Phil Read in the 1950s and 60s.

In the 1970s and 80s, 500cc world champion Barry Sheene and Mick Grant were among the stars who raced there. Subsequent years saw leading road racers of their generation including Guy

Martin, John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, Ryan Farquhar, Dean Harrison and Lee Johnston.

The organisers are seeking a sponsor for the creation of a new control tower which would be named after them. Other sponsorship opportunities are available around the starting lineup, the bridges and parts of the track such as Sheene's Rise, Drury's Twist and the Mere hairpin. Corporate entertainment packages are available.

Under-16s don’t have to pay but require a ticket and must be accompanied by an adult.

Proof of age may be required.

Wristbands and tags for camping and motorhome or caravan spaces are issued against tickets on arrival.

Tent pitches are for one tent accommodating up to 10 people. n For a chance to win a pair of tickets, answer the following question and email your entry with full contact details to editor@ thescarboroughreview.co.uk by 14 September.

Benefactor’s descendants attend bowling tournament centenary THE centenary of an annual bowling match was attended by descendants of the man who donated the winner’s trophy in 1919.

The 100th Gambart Baines tournament, at the Alexandra Bowls Centre in Scarborough, was enjoyed by the businessman’s granddaughter Dorothy Buckton, great grandsons Phil Buckton and David Sanders, great granddaughter Jane Dowkes and great great granddaughter Rachael Milner.

They are pictured with the borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, who presented the trophy to winner Ira Jeffers, and match organisers David Muir, Paul Morgan

and Robert Child. Ira beat Ashley Tattersley 21-13. Both finalists were from West Yorkshire.

The finals, on bank-holiday Monday, featured 52 players from the north of England. Of the eight local competitors, the best performance came from Jack Bird, who reached the quarter finals.

Gambart Baines was born in 1858 and brought up in Newcastle. He and his mother Clementina ran touring waxworks shows which toured England and France with Madame Tussaud.

He moved to Scarborough in the early 1900s and ran the Gambart waxworks exhibition from 1904.

He was a generous

benefactor and gave the town its first motorised fire engine, named Jessie after his wife, and a water fountain on the Foreshore.

Baines liked crown-green bowling and supported bowling tournaments for many years. Zena Smith from Cleckheaton was the first winner of the trophy in 1919 and repeated the feat in 1936.

Down the years, winners came from all over Yorkshire and further afield.

In Scarborough, qualifying matches are played at various clubs every Thursday throughout the bowling season, with one person in eight entries reaching the finals.

Football club settles down at the Duchess A Scarborough football club is settling down with a change of name and home.

After a tough couple of seasons based at Eastway Sports Club in Eastfield and the Poachers Barn pub in Osgodby, Eastfield Town FC is now based at the Duchess pub in Hovingham Drive.

It’s near Raincliffe School, where training sessions are held, thanks to Robbie Hawkes of Hawkes health and fitness coaching.

“We changed to Eastfield Town last season and started building the group from then”, says co-manager Joe Turner. “We were Falsgrave FC the season before that”.

Joe adds: “Peter Ireland and his partner Debbie Wilkinson have welcomed us to the Duchess and helped us overcome a struggle with a new kit and sponsorship. We can’t thank them enough.

“The team has come a long way in the past season and we will continue to build as a club.

The boys and our followers are a tight-knit family, all making the effort to get money in by offering a breakfast club cooked at my house by my mother-in-law Ruth Bisby. It gets us together and helps build a bond”.

Joe’s management partner Billy Joe Johnson has helped

with signings and played a vital role in the organisation of the new kit.

The pair plan to shake things up this season and start contending for a few titles.

Further sponsorship is coming from Karl Brown, who has a plastering business and is financing training tops.

Duchess manager Tracy Boulton is pictured with 11 team members: Billy Joe Johnson, Jordan Dyson, Joe Turner, Josh Southward, Liam Bruce, Jaroslaw Szczesny, Chris Wells, Louis Mancrief, Ryan Wood, Chris Ryan and Nathan Crossley.

Darts players raise £37,451 Anglers catch 336lb of fish for chemotherapy unit THE ANNUAL Eileen Elliott 19x memorial trophy raised £637 for Scarborough Hospital’s chemotherapy unit.

The proceeds from a raffle on the finals night took the total raised since the competition began in 1990 to £37,451.

The money is spent on equipment, necessities and luxuries for patients.

The ladies darts pairs knock-out competition is played on Wednesday evenings throughout summer at Wilsons pub in West

Sandgate. It carries a first prize of £150.

The semi-finals saw Julie Short and Maggie Worrall through to the final by narrowly beating Jo Langdale and Chris McCoubrey 3-2, while Jackie Burrows and Ingrid Pashby went through by beating Anne-Marie Boyle and Lynn Elliott 3-0.

The final went down to the wire. Julie and Maggie took the first leg. Jackie and Ingrid took the next two and Julie and Maggie evened it up to two-all. The final leg was a

battle until the final double 19 went in for Julie and Maggie, giving them a 3-2 win.

Maggie commented: “We would like to thank the ladies who entered and the local businesses and individuals who were so generous in donating prizes for the raffle. If it wasn’t for all of these people, we wouldn’t be able to raise the kind of money that we do for the chemotherapy unit. So a big thank you to all of them and we hope we can rely on their support again next year”.

GOOD weather and a calm sea prevailed at the annual Gary Snaith memorial fishing match, run under Scarborough Boat Angling Club rules.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE WITH A keen eye on the club’s future Scarborough RUFC has announced the appointment of a new RUGBY DEVELOPMENT OFFICER (RDO) Stuart Smyth to succeed Jimmy Perrett who has now returned to Australia.

Perrett was the club’s YOUTH DEVELOPMENT OFFICER (YDO) but the Seasiders have expanded the remit of the post which will include coaching their many junior coaches and a broader overview of rugby activities.

Stuart Smyth who hails from Donaghadee, County Down in Northern Ireland was educated at Grosvenor Grammar School in Belfast and went on to study at Leeds Carnegie University and progressed through the age ranks of the provincial side ULSTER where he played Hooker and has in addition been a Community Rugby Officer for the last year; during this time Stuart has
