TWO Scarborough ladies were so determined to help those with disabilities in the area that they have set up their own voluntary group.

And for one of those ladies, it has given a whole new lease of life to her own son who suffers with both deafness and blindness.

Janice Scarborough and Chris Forbes have

set up Steps at Gallows Close, a group run completely by volunteers which offers those with learning disabilities a chance to get together and have fun and do activities.

Janice, who lives on Colescliffe Road, said: “My son Frazer, who is 27, unfortunately went deaf when he was just 20-years-old and his eyesight is also very very bad.

“I have worked with people with disabilities for many years and felt that there was just nothing on our doorstep

for people like Frazer to enjoy themselves and make the most of life.

“I knew about all the great work being done at Gallows Close, and after talking to Chris, we decided to do something about it and Steps at Gallows Close was born.”

Janice used to work for Mencap where long time friend Chris was her boss. They feel their experience can be a huge boost to those with learning disabilities in the area but they also need your help.

Janice added: “We have funded quite a bit of the group ourselves so we are in need of the support of local people.

“We have a lot of events planned for 2015 where people can come along to the centre and help us progress.

“Chris and I know what those with the disabilities want and

what they can afford. We just want to make their lives that bit better because nobody should be alienated from having fun and making

friends.”For more information and pictures on

Dashing away to raise money for local hospice

By Pete [email protected]

SAINT Catherine’s Santa Dash was a resounding success with a sea of Santas turning out to support the hospice.

The seafront at Filey was a mass of red as 150 Santas and reindeers ran, jogged or strolled the route to raise vital funds for patient care.

First to complete the 1.5-mile route from the Country Park to the Royal Parade Café was 18-year-old Aden Coupe, a fitness

instructor from Hunmanby Sport and Leisure. Aden and his colleagues are already planning their next event for the hospice – a 24-hour cycling marathon on exercise bikes in January.

Also competing was the Mayor of Filey, Councillor John Shackleton, who ran the route with the Mayoress. Councillor Shackleton takes part every year.

“We are so fortunate to have a facility like Saint Catherine’s on

our doorstep,” he said. “We have to support the hospice. We should be so proud of the staff who work there and of the army of hospice volunteers who do such a wonderful job.”

The youngest competitor was four-week old Jack Davis, from Scarborough, who joined in the Santa Dash from the comfort of his pram along with other members of his family, including dad Steven, sister Sophie and cousin Jessica.

Hospice fundraiser

Louise Gravestock thanked everyone who took part. She also thanked those who supported the event including the Royal Parade Café for providing the refreshments, Compass Gym which did the warm up and Filey Lions who brought along their Christmas sleigh.

“It was a fabulous morning with lots of families turning out to support us,” she said. “The community spirit was very special with Filey really welcoming this event which attracts people from all over our area and beyond.”

THERE was plenty of festive magic in the air when Scarborough Friends of Martin House Children’s Hospice were pleased to have Magic Mike open their Annual Christmas Fair.

The event was was organised by Becky Holder and was held at the Rivelyn Hotel with owners John and Linda Soden providing all the rooms free of charge.

The fair was opened by Magic Mike who stayed for an hour entertaining the children and making them balloon sculptures.

He also donated a family ticket for four, for his Christmas show at the Spa Complex.

Children were able to visit Santa in his grotto and tell him what they would like for Christmas.

The Choir from the Twilight Productions performed a wonderful selection of carols and Christmas songs and held the audience in rapture. Olaf from Frozen made a guest appearance, dancing to some of the numbers.

Coffee and tea were included in the entrance fee, together with mince pies donated by Cooplands.

Paul Miller, manager of Sainsbury’s Local, Ramshill Road, provided many of the quality prizes for the Raffle.

Ron O'Connor, Chairman of Scarborough Friends of Martin House Children's Hospice, said: “Sincere thanks to all who attended, and those who had stalls; and all the companies, including Sainsbury’s, Cooplands and Matalan, as well as individuals who donated money,

time, goods or services to make the event such a huge success. Over £1,720 was raised in total for our local children’s hospice which provides respite, terminal and bereavement care to over 400 families in Yorkshire who have a child with a life-limiting condition.”

Successful AGM for local disability groupWords & photo by Pete [email protected]

SCARBOROUGH and District Disablement Action Group's annual general meeting proved to be a big success.

The event was staged at their base at The Street and featured gust speaker Nick Dodd from Local Giving.

Scarborough and District DAG Manager Tim Vasey said: “The meeting was very well attended and several positive suggestions were made to help take DAG forward in its struggle to make the lives of local disabled people and their families better.

“We were pleased to have Nick Dodd attend and he gave a presentation on how his organisation is able to help and support the voluntary sector.

“We are already planning our work going forward in 2015.”n For further details on Scarborough and District DAG visit: www.scarboroughdag.org.uk

A BRAND new community scheme to get people cycling gathered pace with their offi cial open day event.

The Scarborough and Ryedale Community Cycling open day was held at the Gallows Close Centre where over 140 took part.

Rob Brown of Scarborough Festival of Cyling, said: “The object of the scheme is to provide cycling opportunities for anyone with a disability, including those with temporary disabilities, the young, the elderly, those who suffer with dementia or isolation and anyone else who wishes to gain from the health benefi ts that cycling can provide.”

Rob, along with Pete Blood from Let's Bike, have set up the inclusive cycling centre in Scarborough that will benefi t Scarborough and Ryedale communities.

The company has been set up as a partnership and will be run as a not-for-profi t, Community Interest Company. They are in the process of applying for funding as many of the bikes they need are extremely expensive.

Rob added: “Despite the daunting initial set up costs, we are determined to make the project succeed so that we can offer all members of the community the opportunity to engage in the benefi ts and fun of cycling.”If you have a bike you could donate to the project or would like to make a donation to help their cause, please contact Rob or Pete.

Making big steps for locals with learning needsWords and pictures by Pete [email protected]

STEPS at Gallows Close is the new volunteer-led group which offers lots of things to do for those with learning disabilities in the Scarborough area.

Created by long-time friends, Janice Scarborough and Christine Forbes, the group meets every Tuesday and Thursday at the centre on Endcliffe Crescent in Barrowcliff.

Janice said: “Steps is led by volunteers and parents and aims to change the lives of those with disability and learning diffi culties.

“The group learn so many new skills such as preparing and cooking meals and playing games and socialising.

“It is important that they can get together a couple of times a week and just relax and have fun.

“The response to setting up the group has been fantastic and I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this possible.”

Steps at Gallows Close held a Christmas Coffee Morning which raised over £500 for their funds.

The morning was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Scarborough Pat Marsburg and Hilary Groves and the Scarborough Review was there to catch the action.

Janice said: “It was a fantastic morning and we were very grateful to the Mayor and Mayoress for coming along and supporting us.

“I would also like to say thanks to Pete Spence and the Scarborough Review for helping us get our message out there about what we are doing.”For more information on Steps at Gallows Close look for them on Facebook or call the Gallows Close Centre on 01723 378102.

Council backs scheme to save on energy billsBy Pete [email protected]

SCARBOROUGH Borough Council is supporting a scheme to help residents get a better deal on gas and electricity bills.

The council is working with switching partner, iChoosr, which runs many energy switching schemes across the country.

The strength of the scheme lies in the collective purchasing power to try and secure better deals for everyone.

Households can register their interest in the scheme for free between now and February 2, 2015.

Once registration closes on February 2, iChoosr will gather everyone’s registrations together and invite energy companies to offer their best prices for energy to everyone in the scheme.

Residents that register will then receive a personalised offer on the new tariff secured by the scheme, showing exactly how much money they could potentially save if they accept the offer. It is then up to individual households to decide whether they choose to switch energy provider or not. There is no obligation to accept and there are no fees or charges.

Neither the council nor iChoosr can guarantee residents will save money as it will depend on current energy use and the price currently being paid for that energy.

Registration is easy, all people will need to hand is a recent energy bill or annual statement based on actual meter readings and they will need to know which company they pay their bills to.

Those interested in registering or who want more information on the scheme, should visit www.scarborough.gov.uk\choices4energy or email [email protected]

People without internet access can call 01723 361518 or 07702 736265.

Alternatively they can visit the Choices4Energy shop in Scarborough or one of the drop in sessions:14 January 2015, 10am-1pm, Eastside Community Centre Whitby 21 January 2015, 11am-3pm, Filey Library 26 January 2015, 11am-3pm, Whitby Library

The Choices4Energy shop is located at 8/9 Hanover Road, Scarborough.

Opening times are: Wednesday 10am-3pm, Thursday 10am-5pm, Friday 10am-3pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.

The scheme is also being supported by Ryedale District Council. Dates and locations of drop in sessions for Ryedale residents are currently being fi nalised and information will be released in due course.

Having a great time at the May the Vaults Be With You Magical Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland serves up a festive treat at the Market VaultsWords and picture by Pete [email protected]

MAY the Vaults Be With You Magical Winter Wonderland was a festive treat for all. The event took place in the Market Vaults where characters such as Queen Elsa and the Sleeping Beauty came to life.

Organiser Jenny Hollingworth said: “We have already run a couple of successful events under the name May The Vaults Be With You and raised money for some great charities. Other events have included Super Heroes and Star Wars and so on, so we wanted to do something aimed at the girls! With it coming up to Christmas, princesses was the obvious choice.

“We chose The Snowdop Appeal for our charity as it is a very well supported local charity that a lot of people hold very close to their hearts.

“We had a tombola, cake stall, colouring, princess makeovers and story time with Queen Elsa. We had lots of princesses wandering around and it turned out to be a very successful day and a lot of fun.”

Up for a challenge in 2015?

PEOPLE are coming forward with big ideas for 2015 as they challenge themselves to help boost funds for their favourite charity, Saint Catherine’s Hospice, in its 30th year.

Last year, people jumped out of planes, cycled the length of Britain, battled through mud, climbed mountains, ran huge distances and swam the equivalent of the Channel.

Taylor Vasey lost his sight as a teenager – but that didn’t stop him jumping out of a plane at 10,000ft to help the hospice.

Taylor has a very rare life-limiting condition which causes a hearing impairment and left him blind at 17. But his courage in jumping out of a plane two miles up so inspired others that he raised hundreds of pounds for Saint Catherine’s.

“I’d really like other people to get behind the hospice and do something amazing in 2015,” he said.

Hospice fundraiser Louise Gravestock said “The things people put themselves through are just stunning,”

“We’re getting more and more people doing extreme challenges for us. We’re in awe of what they achieve.”

“What matters to us is that people are motivated to get out there and do something because they want to help others by supporting Saint Catherine’s. We can only do what we do here because of people like them.” She said.

Saint Catherine’s starts its 30th year celebrations in April and Louise is hoping that 2015 will be a milestone year for fundraising. “We’re always happy to hear from anyone who wants to challenge themselves and support our work,” she said. “We’re so grateful to everyone who has helped us in 2014, like the 80-year-old who raised more than £1,000 by doing a skydive. We look forward to meeting more amazing people in 2015!”

For more information, contact Louise on 01723 378406.

A COLOURFUL mosaic has appeared on the wall of a community office in the old town.Four metres long, it depicts the castle, Flamborough Head, the Coronia, the lighthouse and seaside objects such as a lifebelt, a compass, a beach and fish and chips.

Also portrayed is a rainbow, reflecting the project’s involvement with the nearby Rainbow Centre. This is one of two places,

along with the Street, where the mosaic was created, with help from Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC) volunteers.

Overseen by ceramic artist Gaby Naptali, it has been erected on a big blank wall outside the Base on the corner of Cross Street and Friar’s Way.

It was opened by three of the young people who made it: Gabrielle Patterson, Amy Mennell and Hannah Kordubel.

The county council’s Youth Support

Service (YSS) coordinated the project and provided support staff.

It was funded by Scarborough Council through Voice Your Choice, in which the public vote for their favourite worthy causes.

The contributors included Yorkshire Coast Homes, who prepared the wall by rendering it.

“It is nice to see the whole community working together to create a piece of art

which will hopefully be enjoyed by people for many years to come,” says YSS area manager Jenny Stamford.

An unveiling ceremony was attended by the young artists, Gaby Naptali, Jenny Stamford, local councillors Colin Challen and Janet Jefferson, Mark Vesey of the MHC, Lindy Rowley of the Base, and Maureen and Michael Robinson, who have a keen interest in outdoor public art.

Big boost for Ellie's Brain Tumour TrustWords and pictures by Pete [email protected]

ELLIE'S Fund Brain Tumour Trust received a big boost with two fund raising events in Scarborough.Volunteers were bag packing at the B & M store on Seamer Road over two days while more volunteers ran Santa's Grotto at Dean's Garden Centre.

Organiser Heather Othick said: “Over the course of one weekend we had 30 volunteers helping us out at two venues. Half of these lovely people volunteered their time to pack bags at B & M Scarborough, where we collected almost £700 from generous customers.

“I’d like to thank all of our volunteers for giving up their time; B & M for allowing us to hold the event and all the generous people who donated.”

“Our other volunteers were helping Father Christmas at his Grotto at Dean’s Garden Centre. Over the course of the weekend 100 children visited Father Christmas and some of them had a go on our tombola too. We raised over £350.

“We send our thanks to the parents who took the time to bring their children to visit; to Dean’s Garden Centre and all their staff.”

Words and photos by Dave Barry A MOVING account of the 1954 ECJR lifeboat tragedy was given at a service to commemorate the 60th anniversary.

Speaking from memory without notes, Rachel Jenkinson recalled the dreadful scene she witnessed as a 12-year-old girl on December 8 1954.

Three crew died when the lifeboat capsized in the south bay in a terrible storm, after escorting numerous fishing boats to safety.

During the service, at St Mary’s Church, another eye-witness, Scarborough RNLI standard bearer Ross Tyson, unveiled a sandstone memorial.

Lifeboat mechanic Dave Horsley read out the names of the 16 crew and three bystanders who have died in Scarborough lifeboat rescues.

The congregation included Sally Bullamore, whose father, coxswain Jack Sheader, was one of the three who died in 1954, along with second coxswain John Cammish and signalman Francis Bayes.

Dear Editor I write to you in reference to the front page story in Issue 16 of the Scarborough Review.The article refers to the 1914 bombardment as being the action of destroyers because of the size of the shells used, unless I have drastically misinterpreted it.

However, it is well known that the two ships that actually caused the damage were the SMS Derflinger and the SMS von der Tann.

The von der Tann was a battle cruiser with four large guns and the Derflinger displayed certainly two similar sized guns forward.

All of which points to the use of far larger guns than those of destroyers. The cruiser SMS Kolberg laid mines off Filey Brigg.

In the excellent book Remember Scarborough by Bob Clarke, he does tell you about the various exaggerated stories that were circulating at that time.

However, my grandmother Annie Agar, who brought me up from childhood, lived at number one, Wykeham Street, opposite number two, which was hit by a shell causing four deaths.

She was standing at the corner of Wykeham

Street and St John's Road at the time, and actually saw the shell strike.

She had a photograph of my grandfather standing in front of the ruined house and also a piece of the shell.

Unfortunately when grandma died in 1947, I was serving in the RAF and I was unable to leave to attend to things.

Everything in the rented house had either been taken by her brother and sister of otherwise disposed of.

From 1935 to 1941 I attended Gladstone Road School and in the Hall there was one area in the wooden parker flooring which had clearly been reset and that was where the shell first struck without exploding before bouncing off and hitting Bennett's house at number two, Wykeham Street.Yours faithfullyCharles Agar, Seamer, Scarborough

Dear EditorFive of our team members were across in North Wales to complete their assessment for their Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW) Module 2: Water First Responder course.

This training has been funded centrally by MREW, delivered by Outreach Rescue and qualifies team members to conduct a bespoke training package and certification to DEFRA module 2 standards when back in their teams and regions.

The course involved an initial weekend of training, development and assessment of existing skills followed by assessment weekends.

The two days consisted of a packed continual assessment weekend with all candidates setting practical skills scenarios.

We are delighted that all five passed the course and are now ready to start training out the new syllabus early in the new year providing an opportunity to establish common language and skills between teams and the statutory emergency services.Well done to Jon, Paul, Gary, John and Ian.Kind regardsScarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team

Dear EditorWe understand that Flamingo Land Limited and GMI Estates have made a successful bid to re-develop the site of the Futurist Theatre, but that detailed development plans are still in their early stages and there are still many decisions to be made.

Given the focal position of the site and its impact on the physical, social, cultural and economic character of Scarborough South Bay seafront, we think that this redevelopment offers an opportunity to set the tone and act as a catalyst for future economic and tourism development on the seafront. It is an opportunity for innovation in stimulating future visitor interest and increasing the diversity of facilities on offer on the seafront, while minimising impact on existing businesses.

Consequently, we look for the adoption of sustainable development principles and high environmental standards in the preparation of detailed plans. We encourage the Borough Council and the developers to take a truly imaginative and innovative approach and to:

• Minimise carbon dioxide emissions, ensure sustainable access and promote the use of public transport, incorporating good links to Scarborough Railway Station and to bus routes, a taxi drop-off point and adequate secure parking for bicycles,

• Showcase high quality sustainable building designs, materials and technologies,

• Maximise energy efficiency, incorporating energy conservation and renewable energy generation, taking advantage of the natural features of the site, in particular its steep topography,

• Ensure sustainable waste, drainage and flood risk management, in particular, in view of climate change predictions, this development should be resilient to flooding from the sea.

We think that environmental design features should be capitalised on as visitor attractions in their own right, incorporating an educational aspect through the demonstration of these features.

We would also like a focus on the natural environment of the North Yorkshire Coast and on its conservation, both for site design and for the visitor features. This would reflect the important work already carried out for the conservation of global biodiversity by Flamingo Land and the University of York through the Centre for Integration of Research, Conservation and Learning (CIRCLE).

We ask the developers to embrace these suggestions in preparing detailed plans for the site and we ask the Borough Council to support them, building on existing Council policies and strategies.We would be happy to offer further comment.Kate WhiteChair, Scarborough and Whitby Green Party

Dear EditorAs we approach the New Year, I wanted to thank everyone who has supported Saint Catherine’s Hospice during 2014.

The prevailing economic climate has meant that this has again been a difficult year for many individuals and businesses and that makes the support you have shown for your hospice all the more amazing. You prove time and time again just how important your hospice is to you.

Local people, businesses and organisations have raised money for the hospice in many, many different ways. You have done everything from car boot sales to running marathons and jumping from planes – and everything in between, all making a valuable contribution to the £5.4m

we need to raise each year to provide our care.

From all the patients and families we support and all the staff and volunteers at the hospice, we say a huge thank you to you all.

Thanks to your generosity we provide care to more than 2,000 people a year across the 1,600 square mile area that we cover – right across Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Hunmanby, Driffield, Ryedale and Whitby.

On behalf of everyone at Saint Catherine’s Hospice I give my thanks to each and every one of you and send you our very best wishes for 2015.David MarshallDirector of Funding DevelopmentSaint Catherine’s Hospice.

Scarborough Archer's chairman John Naylor (centre)

Dear EditorOn behalf of Scarborough Archers, I am writing to thank you for the recent article that you published in the Scarborough Review.

Your personal visit to the club gave the article authenticity and hopefully made interesting reading for your readers.

It's good to know that your publication has the local clubs and communities at heart, and we wish you all the best for the future.Best regards,John Naylor, Chairman, Scarborough Archers.

Dear EditorIt is good news to read that Clock Handyman has got their beautiful iconic clock going againfor everyone going up and down Victoria Road.

I use Victoria Road a lot, these days. I go to work that way and do some shopping, I hardly ware a watch or have a mobile on me. I wait until I get to Northway and I see the train station clock, just in case I'm running late for work or having to get home in case I'm expecting a call or a delivery or something of that nature.

A good peice of news to read; positive for small business and for visitors and residents as well.RegardsSusan Bradley

Words and photo by Dave Barry A LOCAL theatre producer was delighted to rediscover a trunkful of period clothes and theatrical costumes thought lost for 20 years.

The tale begins when Tim Tubbs’ parents retired in 1995 and left Scalby vicarage, where his father had been vicar for 35 years.

A large collection of costumes and old clothes Tim had accumulated had to be dispersed, as there was no room to keep them in his parents’ new home in West Ayton.

“My mother gave a lot of the costumes away,” says Tim. “But I’ve

always lamented the loss of some of the fi ne period clothes we had meant to keep. Some belonged to great grandparents and other family members. Some were given to me. Some I bought for specifi c productions.”

When family friends recently sold their Ryedale home, Tim was thrilled to receive a large trunk they had kept for his mother since 1995. Inside were the missing Victorian, Edwardian and other vintage clothes, plus several theatrical costumes.

They included a fi ne Renaissance outfi t Tim’s mother made for him when he played Juliet in

Romeo & Juliet, aged 10. It was a boys schools, so girls weren’t available.

“That was my fi rst Shakespearian role,” Tim says. “I went on to play lots of male characters, plus Mistress Ford, Goneril and Lady Macbeth - crucial early training for my current role as Scarborough's resident Wicked Witch of the West.”

“It was sad to believe these costumes were lost all these years”, adds Tim,” but now they are found, and can be used again in theatre shows, quite apart from their sentimental value and family associations.”

The collection includes

two embroidered 18th-century men’s suits. They had been professionally made in the 1930s for costume parties on the Transatlantic liners on which his grandparents travelled each year, to negotiate corn importing from Argentina.

There are several original Victorian ladies’ outfi ts, a Downton Abbey

1912 evening gown in cream and gold chiffon, and vintage dresses from the 1920s to 1950s.

Tim is pictured with a hand-sewn, beaded 1920s evening dress on a mannekin, holding a 1930s fi gured georgette afternoon dress and a 1950s jacket in crimson taffeta and black lace.

THE New Year is a great time in the garden as it heralds the start of the run up to spring. Although still a while away we can start dreaming of snowdrop days, blooming aconites and crocus, not to mention golden daffodils!However, before we get carried away there's lots of jobs to do in the muck and magic garden. In the veg garden keep digging the soil over to allow the frost to break down the soil, particularly if you are working heavy clay. Fruit trees can be pruned now until the end of February but leave the plum trees alone as these must only be pruned on summer to avoid the tree bleeding. If you are not sure about your own trees fi nd a good fruit book before you yield the pruning saw or have a word at your local garden centre where the experts will be able to advise you properly.If the weather turns nasty but you still want to be out and about the greenhouse is a good place to be and it will appreciate a good clean out and scrub down now in readiness for the seed sowing season. A hot, soapy bucket of water over the glass and glazing bars will work wonders to help prevent pests and disease

infecting your new seedlings. Traditionally, the muck and magic gardeners will have sown their onion seed on Boxing Day so the new year gets off to a very productive start.If you are an arm chair, fair weather gardener the best job of all is to settle down with a glass or two of Christmas Cheer by a roaring fi re and break out the seed catalogues. Spend some time organising next seasons produce and dream a little of perfect

carrots unaffl icted by root fl y and a plot free of potato blight. Happy New Year from the All Muck and Magic Team and Good Gardening.

SCARBOROUGH Paragon Cycling Club secretary Elaine Ward has welcomed Scarborough Council’s move to back the Tour de Yorkshire.Scarborough will host the second day of the event which was created after the huge success of Grand Depart.The council’s cabinet agreed to pay £1,350,000 to pay for the event to be staged here, something Elaine believes was the correct decision.She said: “It is exciting news

and will be a real spectacle for the town. It may seem a little expensive to some, but you have to think of the revenue it will bring in to local hotels, bed and breakfasts and businesses.

“Having been part of the Grand Depart events personally but for Scarborough to miss out was a blow, so I believe this is a wonderful opportunity to put that right.”The exact route of the race had not yet been revealed when going to press, but the Scarborough leg is likely to begin in Foreshore Road on Saturday May 2.Elaine added: “It will be great to have some top cyclists competing here and the nostalgia that will go with it will be fantastic too.“I have been involved with cycling for a long time and we have some wonderful routes and scenery to be proud of and I am very much looking forward to it.”n For more details visitwww.letour.yorkshire.com

Dorree GallieCD single branches out as it becomes a Christmas Treeby Pete Spence [email protected] CHARITY music CD single Apart was continuing to raise more cash for Cancer Research UK over Christmas. Singer-songwriter Neil Fitzpatrick decided to put together a rather unique Christmas Tree out of the CDs they had left with people entering a competition to guess the number used, paying a fee to enter with all money going to the charity. Richard Askew was the winner of the competition and a special goody bag after he guessed 2,866 with the actual number 2,840. Neil said: “Congratulations to Richard for winning. It was just a bit of a different and fun way of raising money for the charity at a special time of the year.” The team at Fitzpatrick Design spent an agonising six hours building the tree out of the thousands of remaining CD copies of the song, to raise awareness of the project and, ultimately, to raise more funds for Cancer Research UK. Neil was inspired to write the song when a close friend died of bowel cancer, followed by his mother-in-law Penny, and his father, Derek, who died of lung cancer just two days after Christmas last year. He adds: “It’s been a very difficult few years and I’m determined to get to my target of £25,000 to help fund research into this awful disease, so that one day, maybe others will be spared the devastation it causes”. The tree can be viewed at Woodend Creative Workspace in Scarborough throughout early January. n Apart is on sale now for £5 at www.apartsong.co.uk or at www.facebook.com/apartsong and all of the proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK.

YORKSHIRE Coast College, which offers a wide range of further and higher education courses, has seen apprenticeship numbers soar within the past 12 months.

The Scarborough-based college recently reported a staggering 20% increase in apprenticeships compared to this time last year. Key areas that have experienced apprenticeship growth within the college

include Construction, Engineering, Motor Vehicle, Accountancy and Business Administration.

This positive news for Yorkshire Coast College comes shortly after chancellor George Osborne announced that the Government will abolish employer National Insurance contributions for apprentices under 25 from April 2016.

Yorkshire Coast College Principal Clare Wareing comments:

“We are absolutely delighted to report

an increase in apprenticeships this year. Apprenticeships are a fantastic route into employment and we work with a whole host of local employers to ensure our apprenticeships equip students with all the skills and expertise they will need.

“We’re also very proud to announce that 100% of our Advanced Engineering and Motor Vehicle apprentices successfully completed their qualifi cation, well above the national average of 59.2% for Engineering and 64.4% for Motor Vehicle.

“Taught by industry specialists, apprenticeships are also a fantastic way for businesses to fi ll key skills gaps within their workforce. Preparing the future workforce for employment is something we as a college are very passionate about. This includes meeting the needs of local employers and playing a positive, on-going role in the development of Scarborough’s economy and business community.”

Adam Leadbitter is one of Yorkshire Coast College’s latest Business Administration apprentices.

He said: “Having tried the A-Level route and discovering it wasn't right for me, I decided to apply for a Business Administration Apprenticeship at Yorkshire Coast College. It's going really well and I am now working four-and-a-half days a week, earning a wage and getting the qualifi cation and skills I need to progress my career."

FILEY library celebrated THE University of Hull Scarborough Campus has succeeded in attracting a third Leverhulme Trust Artist in Residency to the Scarborough Campus to work with students in the Centre for Environmental and Marine Sciences (CEMS).

Conohar Scott is an environmental artist and he follows in the footsteps of previous post holders, poet John Wedgwood Clark and acoustic artist, Craig Vear. Having an Artist in Residency brings additional benefi ts both to CEMS students and to the wider campus. Conohar is offering a series of sessions, which are open to staff and students, which complement the CEMS students degree courses.

Conohar is currently completing a PhD with Loughborough University on the subject of ‘The photographer as environmental activist: politics, ethics and beauty in the struggle for environmental remediation.

He is also collaborating with Head of CEMS, Dr Will Mayes on a couple of projects in which he is helping to fi nd new ways to illustrate environmental science.

Conohar is the founder of the artists' collective Environmental Resistance, which is a UK based collective which brings together specialists in photography, environmental science, graphic design and linguistics.

A further example of this, is his plan to stage a symposium in June next year. The interdisciplinary symposium entitled ‘Network Ecologies’ seeks to identify innovative research practices and case studies, which demonstrate how the fi elds of environmental

art, environmental science and environmental politics/activism can be usefully combined, in order to further environmental discourse.

Head of CEMS, Dr Will Mayes said: “Securing a Leverhulme Artist in Residency is a major achievement as there is great demand for these prestigious positions. The fact that this is our third one speaks volumes about what we can offer here in Scarborough.”

Scarborough Jobmatchreaches a new milestoneBy Krystal StarkeyFILEY library celebrated Scarborough Jobmatch are celebrating helping their 500th person back into employment just 20 months after the start of the project.

The 500th placement was for a labourer for Kebbell Homes, Oliver Rank, who upon returning from working offshore was keen to get involved with the Eastfi eld development.

The regeneration project will see 44 acres of land transformed into 1,350 new homes, an extra care complex, a primary school, community hall, small scale retail provision and public open spaces, creating a new community near Scarborough.

Oliver said “After seeing a post on the Scarborough Jobmatch Facebook page, I called to ask for some more information about the Labourer position with Kebbell Homes. Within 24 hours, I had an interview arranged and had been offered the role, starting two days later.” Oliver went on to thank the Jobmatch team for their prompt response and effi cient service at getting him the role.

Mike Mulligan, Northern Development Director, said: “We are delighted to have Oliver as part of our northern team, as he has made an impressive contribution and is already working very hard in his new role.”

Scarborough Jobmatch offer support to overcome barriers to employment or to those simply looking for a change in career.

Scarborough jobmatch is based both on St Nicholas Street in Scarborough and on Eastfi eld High Street and is open between the hours 8.30am-5.00pm. Please call 01723 357060 for further information.

Scarborough RNLI reached the end of an era when the 74-year-old lifeboathouse was offi cially closed.

Watched by hundreds of people, the landmark was commemorated with a service led by lifeboat chaplain Pam Jennings and attended by RNLI personnel, supporters, mayor Pat Marsburg and the media.

Bagpiper Barry Conkerton played a lament, Amazing Grace, as one of the longest serving crew members, Peter Billingsley, lowered the RNLI fl ag.

The lifeboat was launched for the last time from the lifeboathouse, which will be demolished in January to make way for a new one, to house a new lifeboat.

The station closure coincided with the 60th anniversary of the ECJR disaster.

The onlookers included Sally Bullamore, youngest daughter of coxswain Jack Sheader, one of three crew who died on duty in a ferocious storm exactly 60 years previously.

RNLI standard bearer Ross Tyson and Rachel Jenkinson, who witnessed the tragedy, were present.

The weather couldn’t have been more different. On 8 December 1954, enormous waves, a howling gale and driving rain conspired to create fatal conditions.

On 8 December 2014, the sea was calm and the sun was shining right up to dusk, so the scene was far lighter as lifeboat crew solemnly laid wreaths on the sea, in the same place and at the same time – close to the harbour mouth at 4.15pm – that the ECJR capsized.

Dozens of people, including many lifeboat crew who weren’t on the lifeboats, watched in silence from the piers.

Flags on the lighthouse, the all-weather lifeboat and a few other boats fl ew at half-mast in memory of the ECJR trio and all other lifeboat crew who have died in service.

The lifeboat then berthed in the harbour, where it will be based until

the new lifeboathouse is built. Two portacabins for changing etc have been installed in the east corner of the harbour as a temporary base for the crews.

* The appeal to raise £200,000 towards the cost of the Supacat launch-and-recovery vehicle for the new Shannon lifeboat has its target in sight.

The Yorkshire Post campaign to boost the fundraising continues until the end of the year.

WELL, hopefully I will still be able to fl oat on my surfboard by the time you are reading this and the mince pies haven’t made me so heavy that I sink up to my eyebrows when I sit on my board. I hope Santa was good to you all and Christmas was all you expected.

Surfers learnt a new word this month: weather bomb. Suddenly the news was full of this new phrase, it sounded like a world ending event and we waited with baited breath to see what the hell it was. The technical name for the event is explosive cyclogenesis, which actually sounded even scarier. Luckily, what all this actually referred to was a storm that deepened really quickly as it crossed the Atlantic and, even luckier for us East coasters, it had the whole country to slow it down before it whisked it’s way over to us.

The element of this storm that interested us surfers was obviously the waves. At one point the sea state off the western isles was classed as ‘phenomenal’ which basically means AAAAAAArrrrGGH! The forecast was for waves of over 50 feet in height. The upside of this is places that really seldom get waves, such as Blackpool and Cumbria, had some pretty serious surf so all the west coast surfers who always whinge that there is no surf on their coast might have just had a chance of a local wave.

The size of the waves would have had some surfers running for the hills and some others, let’s politely say ‘sterner’ souls, will have been waxing up their big wave surfboards and heading for the coast. UK big wave surfers are getting a lot more recognition these days: it wasn’t long ago that surfers

outside the UK were surprized that we had waves at all but now the surfi ng world has woken up to the very real potential of the waves over here - and the East coast is no exception. Many people assumed that we had few waves here – and. to be honest, we tried to keep it quiet. Anyone looking over the Scarborough seafront railings this December will have seen many surfers and excellent waves. We have had one of the best winters for years waves wise and long may it last.

Happy New Year folks! I hope you won prizes if you entered the SAS raffl e and if you are walking the beaches over the next few weeks, if you see any litter, especially line and netting, please pick it up and put it in the bin.

Memories... …Just MemoriesA CONNECTION between two towns Scarborough and Whitby both, once thrivingwith steam and smoke for a very long time, very relied on.A railway, lots of villages relied on, long gone, a connection, between Whitbyand Scarborough no more, forever gone but still loved, still accessible, stillbeneficial. Stations, isolated, trackbed recognisable, scenery altered thanks to vegetation and new coming buildings.Scarborough, a town, forever shadowed, a connection, a connection, foreverlost, with lots of memories, descending quicker, quicker. How landmarks are hereone minute and gone the next.A photo, only shows half the story, looking at foundations, trying to work outwhat was here before and what is here now, sometimes a frustrating task.

Oh Mr Marvel’s Once a family haven, a plot of land, thriving, with laughter,life, love, forever gone.Nothing but a site of the past, sadness, rust, rubble, abandoned, cut off, unknownto strangers who are far and near.The older, wiser, cleverer taking memories, happy memories with them, diaries, photos, videos, to share with loved ones and future generations.

A Stadium standing, as I look through the Carlton’s passenger window, full of life,people queueing dad’s, sons, mothers, daughters, loved ones. All excited to seetheir town, their inspirations, role models, icons, play in a lively, passionate atmosphere.Children, adults seeing their town play in

front of them from a view they would neverforget.Half-time, thinking caps on, change of tactics? Hot dogs, fizzy drinks, sweets hot chocolate.That’s now what does the future hold?

The future answered my question. Black metal gates, that would remain closed, a sponsor logo still shown at the entrance. Tears, coldness, isolation, damp, drip, drip, drip. Shadows, darkness overcoming light, rot, footballers voices, sound of boots leaving the dressing rooms. Children never understanding at first, what happened? Why? Lost and lost.

Moments, thoughts, answers unexplained, yet coming to light. A chance for childrento enjoy these moments from loving parents seeing classic entertainment. Providing a service, an honour, a variation for all, what is left? A big yellow building on the sea front, that Ken Dodd and Dicky Mint would return time and time again with a show nothing but happiness for a sold out audienceWith Ken Dodd and Dicky Mint in Scarborough providing laughter that no other comedian could ever match, now... ...gone, lost. A building standing but empty awaiting its fate.

All is not lost as I stand at Ravenscar in the grounds of Raven Hall looking, looking locals, tourists. As I look over to Robin Hood’s Bay, how time has changed, no railway, but roads, yet a town, always, always a place worth visiting, still plenty of characteristics and connections.

Ravenscar, such an isolated community, yet so popular and never losing its touch to welcome all,plenty of life. A new generation of people combining with other generations. Full of questions,interest, history. Maybe, just maybe all is not lost.

The town centre in Scarborough? Take a photo, look back at it in ten years time, what is lost?Who knows? What is next? Who knows... ...what is next... ...to go... ...

SOUTH Cliff Golf Professional Tony Skingle has been shaking up the Scarborough music scene, performing as ‘The King’ Elvis Presley for almost two decades.But it was back in 1962 in Chesterfield where the journey all began for Tony.He said: “I was born in Chesterfield and my dad Bob was an electrician and mum

Maureen a nurse at the hospital.“Throughout my upbringing I idolised my father who was a very keen golfer. I used to go along and take it all in and wanted to learn not just how to play the game, but everything about it.“Most kids would be off out with their mates after school, but I would be straight down to the local course, even when it was dark.”While many of his friends ended up working down in the pits, Tony’s passion for the game of golf took him on a different course, one which saw him turning professional at the age of just 16.Tony, 52, added: “It was tough turning pro at that age but I was determined to work very hard. In the winter months I would labour on worksites to fund my pursuit of my golf career, which was very expensive for a lad from a pit town.“I played in as many tournaments as possible over the coming years until I got sick of the travelling and wanted to settle down.“In 1993 the opportunity of the club professional job came up at South Cliff and I knew it would be a perfect fit for me and the family as I absolutely love it on the coast.”Tony has been at the club ever since but his career as a musical performer, unlike his golfing career, came purely by chance.Tony explained: “ I was out on a stag do with my mate Steve Raybould in 1995 and

we ended up going into the Lord Nelson where they had a karaoke competition on. They were short of singers so everyone started asking me to get up as I was always singing everywhere I was.“I got up there for a bit of a laugh, singing Elvis, who I am a huge fan of, and I won!“I went on to another round and then to the finals in Driffield. To say I was shocked when they announced me as overall winner and prize of £1000, is a bit of an understatement.”The karaoke conquest led to Tony performing as Elvis at the old Corner Cafe complex on Scarborough’s South Bay, and as his popularity increased, so did his venues and shows.For the past six years Tony has had a huge New Year’s Eve concert at Scarborough’s Spa Complex, and he is all set to help us welcome 2015 in style.He said: “New Year’s Eve has been huge at the Spa, and to have it in the Grand Hall and sell out each year is amazing.“I can’t wait for this year’s show which will be as big and bold as ever with lots going on all through the evening. Doing the Elvis gigs has also allowed me to give something back as I always look to support local charities with the revenue made from the shows.”And will Tony be hanging up his Elvis wig and costume any time soon?“I will still be up there at the age of 99 and a half! I just love entertaining!” he added.

Changes to allergy informationRestaurants and takeaways are now required by law to tell customers if any of the top 14 allergen ingredients are present in the foods they serve.

Food businesses such as restaurants and cafes have been given fl exibility on how they provide allergy information. This can be communicated verbally through explanations by staff or signposted to where or how more information can be found on menus or in additional leafl ets.

The new EU Food Information for Consumers Regulations will also change the way allergy information appears on labelling for pre-packed foods bought in shops and supermarkets.

Chun-Han Chan, Food Allergy Expert at the FSA commented: “Allergies can be fatal for some people and this is why it is vital that

food businesses give their customers information they can trust. “The legislation is a huge step forward for those with allergies, who

should now feel confi dent they have a right to ask about allergenic ingredients in the foods they buy.” He said.

For more information on the EU FIC regulations please visit http://www.food.gov.uk/science/allergy-intolerance/

Words and photo by Dave Barry Scarborough’s newest pub is a throwback to how pubs used to be.

The Stumble Inn is the town’s fi rst micro-pub - a small bar specialising in real ales, real ciders and real perries, with no music, no children, no gaming machines and no sports TVs.

All of which means that people are more likely to get talking to each other.

Licenced for a maximum of 30 people, it’s ideal for a nice quiet pint.

What’s more, it’s the only micro-pub for 20 miles, says landlord Brian Jacklin, adding that the next nearest one is in Driffi eld.

Brian was inspired by friends in Newark, where he and partner Michelle Low lived until June.

Until then, Brian’s life had always revolved around the motor trade.

“I’d worked at various garages but things were getting too technical and I wanted to change my career,” he says.

“I’ve always been passionate about real ale and have been a member of Camra for 20 years, so when our friends set up a micro-pub like this in Newark, it got me thinking.”

The tiny pub, furnished with old church pews, buffets, cast-iron tables and varnished fl oorboards, has a friendly, homely feel.

Brian intends to have a few games, such as cribbage, dominoes and cards, for cutomers to play.

There will always be fi ve real ales available, with little repetition.

When I visited, the cask ales on tap were Papa Jangles Voodoo stout from Totally Brewed in Nottingham (4.5%), Cliffhanger

from Brass Castle in Malton (3.8%), Little Weed from Maypole in Newark (3.8%), an ale called 3 from the XT brewery in Buckinghamshire (4.2%) and Scarborough Stout from Scarborough Brewery in Barry’s Lane (4.6%).

The Malton and Scarborough ales tick Brian’s box for always stocking a beer from within a 30-mile radius. “And we will always have a dark beer, a couple of light ones and a normal bitter,” he says.

To help customers choose, Brian offers tasters and each pump has a description and a glass jar to show the beer colour.

Brian was also serving Lilley’s mango cider (4%), Pear Shaped perry (7.5%) and Thundering Molly cider (5.2%).

Everything costs £3 a pint.Brian shares his staff with Michelle,

who runs Maggie May’s sandwich shop in Falsgrave.

The Stumble Inn opened on 12 December in an old solicitor’s offi ce in Westborough, at the Victoria Road junction – just around the corner from the old Victorian bus shelter.It opens at noon daily and closes at 11pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30pm Sundays.


THRUMBLES Cafe-bar on Victoria Road, Scarborough, are all set to entertain in 2015.

The establishment has just celebrated its one year anniversary and owner Aaron Ward has big plans for the new year with live music on the agenda.

Aaron, 23, said: “I have been looking into getting live music on in the cafe for a while, as I am heavily involved in the Scarborough music scene.

“After we got our drinks licence it meant we could serve alcohol and stay open later so we want to provide people with some entertainment, and there is lots available locally and further afi eld.”

Aaron plays in the touring band Maven Fiction and knows how diffi cult it can be for new bands to get the opportunity to showcase their talents.

He added: “I know how hard it is for bands to get gigs and if they do get a gig, they usually have to sell extensive amounts of tickets in exchange for it.

“I wanted to not only offer an outlet for up and coming talent, but to put a twist on it too. So I’m letting bands come and play gigs in Thrumbles and in exchange I am fi lming and recording the sessions

for them. This gives the bands great live recordings and footage for their fans to enjoy.

“I’ve had loads of interest from not just local bands but also from York, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and even as far as Edinburgh.

“We will display all the footage on our new website that is coming soon, at www.errorchannel.com. Along with interviews with a lot of industry experts that we have had the luxury of befriending during our time playing music professionally.

“I plan to put on brilliant acoustic sessions in Thrumbles as well giving local support to the cream of the crop of local talent, of whom I will be offering the same arrangement. So if anyone wants to be considered they should get in touch with me at [email protected]”

Also new to Thrumbles for 2015 is a reasonably priced specialist cocktail menu, as well as still offering great craft ales on tap and bottled beers, ciders and wines. On gig nights they will also be offering some great drinks deals and food from their fresh cooked menu.

The fi rst gig at Thrumbles takes place on Friday January 16 from 7.30pm featuring York band Fallen Empires.

The community of Seamer were shocked when 27-year-old Dan Layton was killed in a collision with a tractor leaving behind his 15-month-old son Jack and partner Holly. Friends including Seamer FC footballer Joe Tiffany set up the Riding For Jack charity fund to provide support for the little boy.

SCARBOROUGH REVIEW EDITOR PETE SPENCE TAKES A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE STORIES THAT MADE IT INTO YOUR FAVOURITE FREE LOCAL NEWSPAPER IN 2014.

JANuARY To

JuNE

SCARBOROUGH toddler Beau Hooper was on the road to recovery. The two-year-old from Hope Street was knocked down by a van just before Christmas and was in a serious condition.Following some generous festive cheer from the Spa Complex pantomime and Stepney Hill Farm, Beau was back on his feet. His mum Maria Gonzakez-Hooper said: “He has done ever so well and to see him back on his feet is amazing. I would like to say thanks to everyone who supported us through a very tough time.”

THE fi rst ever Barrowcliff New Year Honours “A celebration of Barrowcliff” was held at Gallows Close Centre and was given the VIP treatment with Cllr Andrew Backhouse the Mayor and Cllr Susan Backhouse Mayoress of the Borough of Scarborough both in attendance. The event was organised by the Big Lottery funded Reaching Communities Steering Group who have among their numbers, representatives from leading organisations working to improve people’s lives on the Barrowcliff estate.

A TEACHER and her pupils from a Scarborough pre-school were more than surprised when they received an email all the way from Denmark.That is because, when the youngsters from Wheatcroft Pre-School released balloons from their base at St Michael’s Church in aid of Sports Relief, they did not expect them to go too far.Teacher Amanda Campbell said: “We set the balloons off on a Friday and they all had tags on with our email addresses. It was on the following Tuesday that we received an email back from a person in Denmark named Soren Kops from Linforden.“It was amazing and such a nice gesture for the person who found the balloon to reply.”

A SCARBOROUGH youngster was hoping to hit all the right notes and raise lots of money for a special little girl.Jack Maw, 10, was donating all the money from sales of his musical CD to the Legs For Angel appeal.Jack said: “I was listening to the radio one morning before school and I heard all about the Legs For Angel appeal and the story behind it. It was asking people to come up with ideas for raising funds so I decided to sell my CD with the money going to the appeal.”

SCARBOROUGH Rugby League ace Mike Picken helped gun down the opposition when he made his debut for the Great Britain Armed Forces team in a winning effort against their police rivals.The 24-year-old, who played for the Scarborough Pirates since his early teens, performed a key role for the side as they ran out 44-30 victors in the match played at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire.

RIDE The Bos – conquer the elements, was launched after being inspired by former Mayor and Mayoress of Scarborough, Andrew Backhouse and his wife Sue. Combining their ambition to visit every community in the Borough during their mayoral year and their love of fi tness and the great outdoors, they put together a road-based route that involved 14,000 ft of climbing, 200 miles and 94 towns, villages and hamlets.

FOR angler Wyndon Coole it was a case of patience being a virtue when he landed the heaviest recorded Pike in England at Wykeham Lakes. Mr Coole, waited three hours to land the beast at the Dawney Estate Lakes which weighed in at a huge 3.3 stones. He said: “I was there for three hours and when it took I knew it was a big catch, but not exactly just how big!”

RESIDENTS affected by the December 2013 tidal surge were encouraged to apply for fi nancial support.The support schemes were locally administered by Scarborough Borough Council and there was support for both home owners and business owners on the North Yorkshire Coast.The support included business rates relief and council tax deductions for those affected by the fl oods.

FILEY Sea Cadet Megan Williams was heading to South Africa after being listed for a top

accolade. Since December 2013 Megan had been going through the selection process for the CVQU Duke of Westminster Awards. Megan made it through to the fi nal nine to go on a three week expedition to South Africa.

DOUGLAS HAW, 95, from Scarborough, returned to Normandy to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day.Douglas, who lives on Cross Lane, was part of a ceremony which featured dignitaries such as HM The Queen, American President Barack Obama and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridgeshire.Douglas said: “This anniversary was special although it was sad to see less of us there. I had the opportunity to speak to Prince Charles and Camilla and also the Prime Minister Mr Cameron so it was very interesting and a special moment.”

SCALBY FAIR brought a ray of sunshine into the lives of those who attended in the summer.On a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon hundreds gathered to sample the atmosphere at one of the last few remaining traditional village fairs in the country.

VISITORS to Stepney Hill Farm for their Open Day were not left disappointed.Approximately, 1,800 people made their way up to Stepney Road for the fun-packed day which featured farm demonstrations, live music, trade stalls, a bouncy castle and much more.Owner Ashley Tyson said: “It was a fantastic day and could not have gone any better. We want to make this an annual event.”

A VERY brave young Scarborough girl had a hair-raising experience when she had all her locks cut off in aid of Cancer Research UK.Morgan-Marie Shaw, who was just 10-years-old at the time, decided to raise money for the charity after both her mum and grandma suffered from the disease.

2014 PROVED to be a bumper season at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre. The year was the most successful for the venue since its re-birth. Operations Manager Stuart Clark said: “It has been absolutely amazing and to get the highest attendance fi gures since the theatre was re-built is staggering.”

MUD IN YOUR BLOOD MOTORCROSS CLUB in Scarborough was right on track to be a success. The club is based on Seamer Road and had been going for four years. Club chairman Peter Goodworth said: “We are really pleased with how the club has progressed and the growth of interest has been staggering. We are pleased to offer people a safe environment in which to do Motorcross.”

WALKING FOOTBALL was standing tall in the Scarborough area.Founded by Colin Bayes and Jim Mitchell, the group had started meeting up every week at Baron’s Fitness Centre at Scarborough Rugby Club.Colin said: “We all have a passion for playing football but are getting on in years. This form of the game means we can continue doing what we love.”

SCARBOROUGH ELECTRONIC ORGAN SOCIETY were celebrating a half-century landmark.Chairman Dennis York said: “Who would have thought that Scarborough Electronic Organ Society would still be going strong after 50 years?“It is unbelievable to think that is has stood the test of time and I am proud to be associated with it.”

SCARBOROUGH & RYEDALE MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM were among those who received a share of £8,000 thanks to the Duke of York’s Community Initiatives Innovation Fund.The presentations were made at the annual awards ceremony which took place at Magna Science and Adventure Centre in Rotherham.

The centenary of Germany’s cowardly attack on defenceless Scarborough was solemnly marked with a civic ceremony at the Town Hall.

Council leader Tom Fox read out the names of the 18 people who died; each name was followed by a maroon fired from the castle.

Later, 18 white doves were released in a powerful symbolic gesture.

Mark Vesey of the Maritime Heritage Centre described the scene, exactly 100 years previously, when German battleships appeared in the south bay and unleashed a deadly fusilade on the unsuspecting inhabitants.

From the Town Hall garden, the assembly of about 250 participants and onlookers found it easy to imagine the scale and horror of the onslaught.

Scarborough’s lifeboats led a flotilla of about 20 vessels assembled in the south bay as the sun rose over the cliffs north of Filey Brigg.

Bugler Richard Weston of the Salvation Army played the Last Post and Reveille, which sandwiched a minute’s silence.

Children placed poppies on a new black bench portraying silhouettes of soldiers, donated by Tony Viney.

Guests included German Naval Association historian Jann Witt, who works at the Laboe naval memorial near Kiel; and Commander Jan Hackstein, assistant naval attaché at the German embassy in London.

Both men laid wreaths at a service at St Mary’s Church and attended a ceremony in Dean Road cemetery, where most of the dead were buried, many in unmarked graves.

A cairn was unveiled and a wreath laid against it by Jan Cleary of the cemetery’s friends group, on behalf of mayor Pat Marsburg.

Children sang a moving rendition of Silent Night, first in English, then in

German, then both languages at once, in two groups.

The commemoration events were attended by descendents of the 18, including Olwyn Middleton, whose great uncle was the oldest person killed.

Architect and surveyor John Hall, 65, was fatally injured while getting dressed at his Westbourne Park home.

His gravestone, along with many others, had been restored under the Community Payback scheme, whose supervisor, Paul Pratt, was present. He said Mr Hall’s gravestone had been knocked over by vandals but could never be damaged in the same way again as a steel pin now held it together. Over the last two years, 500 gravestones have been restored under the scheme, Mr Pratt said.

At the castle, a big Union flag was draped down the curtain wall and, as night fell, a giant image of a poppy was projected onto the keep. A beacon was lit at 5pm.

Naval artist Keith Bacon of Rotherham presented a watercolour depicting the attack on Scarborough to the mayor, who accepted it on the borough’s behalf.

On this day, at this hour, 100 years ago, Scarborians were getting dressed for work and preparing for Christmas.Shortly after 8 o’clock the town was ferociously attacked from the sea.

Two German battlecruisers came out of a fog bank and opened fire on the castle headland. Shells hit the coastguard station, the empty army barracks, the keep and walls. It was the start of the town’s worst attack since the English civil war.

A third German ship sailed on towards Filey, laying over 100 mines that would later kill at least 100 mariners.

When the battlecruisers cleared the headland, they fired on the Sea Bathing Infirmary that was full of wounded soldiers returned from the western front.

Shells hit the Olympia Picture Palace, the Bell Hotel and houses on Eastborough. Herbert Greenwood, 29, had his legs broken by a shell landing in King Street.

The Health Offices, Red Cross Society, Waterworks Office, Falconer's Road, York Place and Huntriss Row were hit and holes were blasted into the elegant houses on the Crescent.

A shell passed through the workroom at Marshall and Snellgrove’s department store in St Nicholas Street. A few minutes later and it would have been packed with seamstresses. The town hall and Royal Hotel were hit and 160 windows shattered.

The South Cliff was next. The Wesleyan church, St Martin’s-on-the-Hill and the vicarage were hit. Albion Road and Crown Crescent suffered from shrapnel. On the corner of South Street, 47-year-old shop worker Leonard Ellis was the first to die as he opened the door to his place of work.

A second shell exploded a few yards away, killing 45-year-old Harry Frith. Shells peppered Valley Road and the municipal school. At Scarborough College, a teacher led his students over Oliver’s Mount to safety.

After the first 15 minutes of firing there was a pause while the ships turned around. Alice Duffield set off to find her husband but was sadly killed on the steps of a nearby hotel when the firing resumed.

On Filey Road, 41-year-old postman Alfred Beal was killed on the doorstep of Dunollie House. Inside, 29-year-old maid Margaret Briggs was killed by a shell exploding in the library.

A 39-year-old maid, Edith Crosby, was the next to die as she tried to convince her employer the noise was from British navy gunnery practice.

At the electricity station, Private Bowman of the 5th Green Howards had both legs shattered by an explosion. Houses in Spring Bank, West Bank, Highfield and the length of Seamer Road suffered damage.

On Westbourne Park, Bertha McEntyre, 42, died as she picked up her 14-month-old baby, John. Both were killed but the father survived.

The Falsgrave Road and Gladstone Road areas suffered half the fatalities. A teenager and several adults lost their legs. A 28-year-old maid, Ada Crowe, was killed on the day her fiancé was returning from the western front to marry her.

At Gladstone Road School, a shell brought down the roof. Half an hour later and many children would have been killed while standing in assembly.

Emily Merryweather, 30, died ushering people into her shop's cellar for safety on Prospect Road.

Shoemaker Harry Harland left his home on Belle Vue Street, arriving at work at the same time as some shells landed. He ran home, gathered his family and set off for the countryside. Sadly, he was fatally injured at the end of his street. Mary Prew, 60, suffered a similar fate.

A 65-year-old architect and justice of the peace, John Hall, was the oldest person to die.

Number 2 Wykeham Street was the site of the worst tragedy where four members of the same family were killed. John Ward, 9, died along with his grandmother, Joanne Bennett, his uncle Albert and another child, George Barnes, 5.

Christopher Bennett survived the blast and gave this account: “I found mother and the children in one corner. Mother had lost a hand. We moved her into the yard with little Jack and George but it was all too late”.

Christopher later joined the army to avenge the deaths but was killed on the western front in 1917.

George Taylor, 15, was the only boy scout to die throughout the entire war. He was killed while collecting a newspaper from a local shop.

18 civilians died in this barbaric attack and many more were maimed and injured.

Lily Bain, 14, emerged unscathed from the ruins of her family home. Her miraculous escape gave people cause for hope. Others refused to come out after the raid and took a lot of persuading that it was safe.

On Wykeham Street a naked child was seen running away and many children were found in Scalby, being cared for by strangers.

The German ships sailed north and shelled Whitby before meeting other battlecruisers that had just attacked Hartlepool, where they had killed and injured many more.

Scarborough was not a military target. It was an easy target, close to a gap in the east coast minefield and on a direct line from the German naval base.

It is hard for us to imagine what it would have been like, the ferocity and terror, striking innocent civilians going about their daily lives.

The Kaiser and German navy thought the attack would be a great boost for their morale and a great blow to the British nation. But their plan backfired and the anger that killing women and children caused led to a boost in recruitment of soldiers for the western front.

The great British navy had some tough questions to answer. Why hadn’t they intercepted or stopped the raid? Winston Churchill branded the German navy “the babykillers of Scarborough” and the phrase was reproduced on hundreds of newspaper front pages across the globe.

What became clear from that day forward was that civilians were now classed as legitimate targets in the Great War.On this day, let us remember all the innocent victims and hope and pray that events like this never happen in anywhere in the world again.

The horror of the bombardment was described at the centenary commemoration by Mark Vesey of the Maritime Heritage Centre.

HOROSCOPES

LIBRA (Sept 24 – october 22)A year of trading and trade offs! As far as business and career aspects are concerned, you’ll be sacrifi cing some security in favour of adventureand excitement, and although there will be one or two “wobbly” months – namely June and August – the overall indications are very favourable if you’re looking for new pathways and challenges.

SCoRPIo (oct 23 - Nov 22)Regardless of sex or age, 2015 looks like being a very sexy year for you – although that statement does have to be clarifi ed. While very elderly folk may be enjoying some of their more intimate memories, young Scorpions will be dipping their toes into the waters of physical love for the fi rst time, while mature people in the most stable of relationships will become quietly aware of the fact that there is more than one fi sh in the sea.

SAGITTARIuS (Nov 23 - Dec 22) Quite an odd year for many Sagittarians as they have to come to grips with new domestic situations, which do not come as surprises, but which nevertheless demand some adjustment to their thinking. Some parents may have to deal with children fl edging the nest, while others become increasingly concerned for the health and welfare of other people.

CAPRICoRN (Dec 23 - Jan 20)There will be some changes and disruptions to work routines during January and February, but nothing here that can harm you. The whole of the year is good for consolidating career positions and late June or early July sees some form of promotion or increase in salary. Long term relationships remain on an even keel, but there could be new romance in the wind for the free and singles.

AQuARIuS (Jan 21 - Feb 18)You might not like it very much but during the early months (weeks?) of 2015 you are going to take a long critical look at your life style and realize that certain things do have to change. The challenge here is to start acting your age – and that statement applies both to 15 year olds and 55 year olds. Intercontinental travel aspects are highly relevant for the August period of the year and there will be some distinct fi nancial improvements between September and December.

PISCES (Feb 19 - March 19)I know that I cannot get it 100% right for everyone, but it has to be said that 2015 looks like being a brilliant year for the vast majority of Piscesians out there. There will be weddings and engagement parties in the offi ng, an increase in your social life with a couple of new important friends being made, and some potentially spectacular gains made on the job front.

Deadline for entry 9th JanuaryExhibition opens -

24th January - March 15th

By Ruth MarleyWITH her third birthday fast approaching, we thought it was time to introduce our daughter Alice to that great Christmas tradition - the pantomime.

Well one thing's for sure, her fi rst theatre visit certainly won't be her last after we went to see a cracking performance of Aladdin at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Alice may have been among the younger children at the mid-morning performance but she certainly wasn't alone in lapping up the entertainment, with the theatre packed with school children of all ages.

They cheered and screamed to their hearts content as Aladdin did battle with those traditional

panto baddies who we all love to boo.

Jay Saighal really got into his role as Aladdin, captivating the audience with his singing and guitar playing, while Paul Ryan had everyone in stitches as he enthusiastically threw himself into the role of pantomime dame in the form of Aladdin's mum.

The dancing and singing of youth cast members, known as the Garbage Gang, really got the audience into the festive mood, as well as providing a perfect backdrop to the wonderful singing voices of Aladdin and Princess Badroulbadour played by Arabella Rodrigo. A special mention to the Elk - my little girl cheered every time she came onto the stage.

Playing the baddies to a tee were Ian Crowe as

Sven Gali and Andy Cryer as Mr Ghobad and they really got the young theatre goers into the mood as they booed as loud as they could at every opportunity. With the performance being staged in the round there was no excuse for any of the audience not to play their part and the cast really made sure that there was total audience participation.

Victoria Hamnett played the genie of the lamp superbly with her unique dancing style and singing, while Heather Phoenix as the Sultana completed a fi rst rate cast.

This version of Aladdin was brilliantly written by Andrew Pollard, our thanks must go to all the cast and staff at the Stephen Joseph Theatre for making our morning so memorable.

Yorkshire Coast College students serve up top Christmas foodCATERING students from Yorkshire Coast College have been enjoying their fi rst festive period in the workplace after securing roles in the industry in 2014.

Ten students from the college’s Professional Cookery course took their fi rst step onto the career ladder in 2014 and, with the Christmas party season in full fl ow, many were relishing the opportunity to experience the industry’s busiest time of the year for the fi rst time as a fully-qualifi ed member of the kitchen staff.

Yorkshire Coast College Professional Cookery Tutor Rob Clark, explains:

"Our main aim on all the catering programmes is for our industry specialists to teach a range of skills in different environments. From our highly technical skills kitchens to our training restaurant, Fledglings, we prepare students to be 'work ready' to meet the needs of local employers and the wider economy here in the Scarborough area.”

One former professional cookery student who was tackling his fi rst Christmas dinner was Tom Dale, 29, who left

Yorkshire Coast College in June after completing his Level 3.

Tom secured a coveted position as Demi Chef de Partie at The Black Swan, in Oldstead, earlier this year, creating high standard starters, intermediates and canapés for the restaurant’s diners. Having originally applied for work experience to add to his CV, Tom was invited to enter the kitchen for a full day’s trial where he was thrilled to be offered a role within the team.

However, in April, he was promoted to Chef de Partie and was tasked this year with preparing and cooking the turkeys for the restaurant’s Christmas Day diners.

SCARBOROUGH BOROUGH COUNCIL PRESENTS


Re

vie

w

by Will Baines

THE appointment of Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot as interim Joint-Managers back in early November has galvanised Scarborough Athletic and led to a strong recent run of victories leading into the crucial Christmas period.The pair were confi rmed as Joint-

Managers on a permanent basis before Christmas, marking their fi rst game in charge with a dramatic 2-1 win over Mossley. Hughes and Foot have transformed a side on a losing run and in danger of slipping into mid-table obscurity into a side that is on the up.The winning run started with a local

derby against Pickering Town in the North Riding Senior Cup that went all the way to penalties, fi nishing 1-1 after 90 minutes. Ben Middleton opened the scoring for Boro with a close-range header, before a Lewis Taylor penalty made it 1-1. Neither side could fi nd a decisive second goal, leading to a shoot-out. Athletic keeper Joe Cracknell saved the Pike’s fi rst effort, diving to his right to tip Taylor’s spot-kick around the post, whilst all the Boro penalty takers found the back of the net to make it through 5-3.Next up Hughes and Foot took their side

on the road to Padiham. After a patchy away record going into the game, Boro

produced a professional performance to win 3-0. Doncaster Rovers striker Alex Peterson opened his account for the club with an early strike, before Jimmy Beadle headed in shortly afterwards to make it 2-0. The Seadogs continued to fl ood forward but could not fi nd a third until the fi nal moments when Ryan Blott controlled the ball outside the area, took aim before fi ring low into the bottom corner to complete the scoring.Kendal Town then came to Queensgate

in early December and took the lead early on as Jordan Connerton fi nished across Cracknell in the 8th minute to stun the Queensgate faithful. Boro were not behind for long though as Ryan Blott stooped to head in at the near post from a Gary Bradshaw centre, before taking the lead early in the second half as central defender Dean Lisles opened his account for the club with a bullet header. But the Seadogs were made to hang on for the three points after the dismissal of goalkeeper Joe Cracknell for handling outside his area. Sub keeper Rory Skelton came on for the last half hour as Athletic did enough to notch another home win.The winning run continued at Lancaster

City thanks to a late Ryan Williams strike. It looked in the fi rst half like Boro were cruising to another three points as they took the lead in just the second

minute, a rifl ed Alex Peterson strike giving the home keeper no chance. Athetic looked comfortable and controlled the fi rst 45 minutes, but it was a different story in the second half. Lancaster, managed by ex-Newcastle defender Darren Peacock and his assistant Trevor Sinclair, came more into the game and grabbed an equaliser when a superb 30-yard free-kick fl ew into the top corner from Sam Bailey. Lancaster ploughed forward in search of a winner but Boro held fi rm and claimed another win as Ryan Williams fi red the ball into the bottom corner in the 87th minute.In the last game before Christmas

Hughes and Foot hosted Mossley and created lots of chances but could not break the deadlock before half-time. Gary Bradshaw opened the scoring on 60 minutes with a deft header but Mossley did not lie down and equalised through Tom Pratt despite going down to 10 men when Sam Robinson was sent off. It looked like fi nishing as a draw until Matty Plummer popped out in added time to head in a corner from Gary Bradshaw.

Kayak championships returning to Scarborough by Pete [email protected]

THE Kayak Fishing Championships returns to Scarbor-ough bigger and better for 2015.As part of the Scarborough Angling Festival, the popular kayak event takes place on September 19.It is an open match so anyone is welcome to enter. In 2014 they had 56 entrants as far afield as Colchester and Gatwick.Organiser Ian Pickering said: “We are delighted to be holding the match again in Scarborough as part of the Angling Festival.“The aim of the Kayak Championships is simple. Go out and catch fish and the heaviest will win.“The 2014 winner was a chap called Martin Collison with a 6lb 12oz Pollock and his victory earned him a fishing holiday to Norway.”The championships will be held at either the North or South Bay depending on weather conditions.


BOROUGH Bowling Club secretary Mick Gates is hoping to boost the club’s membership in 2015 after the club became independent this year.

For many years the club paid the council to maintain and run its facilities at Manor Road Bowling Green, but after plenty of hard work from the likes of Mick and other committee members, Borough Bowling Club is standing on its own.

Mick said: “The hard work and generosity of the people involved is brilliant, because we wanted to run the club as we felt it should be.

“When we discovered the different types of grants and fundraising opportunities there were out there, we went for it, and we are now proud to be able to run the club ourselves.

“What we really need now is to get some more members signed up for 2015 to give us a real push for the future.

“We are looking to the next generation of crown green bowls players and we believe we have one of the best facilities in the area.”

Mick fell in love with the sport by chance, after playing in the local football leagues for many years.

He explained: “I had just finished playing for Scalby FC in the Saturday League and did not want to join another club.

“My mate Bob Walker asked me one day to go down and have a game of bowls at Manor Road, and I have been playing the game ever since.

“I have done the secretary role for 17 years on and off and have enjoyed being part of this great club and sport.

“We had our centenary year in 2005 and that was very special. This club has a lot of history and I hope it continues to thrive for many more years to come.”

CAYTON Corinthians Juniors under-eights proved so popular that they had to create two teams shortly after forming.Coach Craig Rainton decided to start up the Kestrels side, but the interest grew so rapidly that a second side, the Cougars, was also needed.Craig said: “I was looking for a team for my lad Bobby to play for at under-eights but was finding it difficult.“That was when I approached the Cayton Corinthians secretary Tony Lever and he said they would help me start the team up and get FA Level One coaching badge.“I completed the course in March this year and Cayton Kestrels was born. The only problem we had then was that interest in the side started to gather pace very quickly.“My fellow manager Ashley Short, whose son Liam plays for the team, also did his coaching badge but we never expected that we would have to set up a second team.“The players started to turn up and eventually we had 13 kids raring to go,the weeks went by and the numbers gradually increased and in a couple of months we had 18 training every Saturday morning“Bearing in mind it’s only five-a-side at under-eights, I was starting to get a bit worried what we had created number wise, then the signing on forms arrived which

I was told would maybe lower the numbers of genuine signings,over the next couple of weeks all 18 were fully signed on!“This is when our next journey began,we had to form two teams, but we needed someone to run the second team.“We asked parents but for one reason or another nothing came of it, then after a while two men stepped up - Ashley’s brothers, Aaron and Grant, whose son Reece also plays, but one of them needed to complete the FA badge.“Aaron completed this alongside his brother Ashley. Now we had to divide the teams into two,this was the hardest part of the whole process as we didn’t want to favour either team ability wise, after much thought and let’s say debates, we now had our two Cayton Corinthians under-eights junior teams,the Kestrels and the Cougars.”Both teams train together still and have also been backed by local businesses.Craig added: “We have been inundated with brilliant sponsorship,from the likes of Exley Smith Electrical,and PJ Welding Ltd, 1Premier Engineering and Asquith & Co Accountants,“Without these we would not have two well run teams and we also have done our own

sponsored walk which was a great success. “I would also like to thank all the parents and relatives of the kids who have been fantastic from day one,we couldn’t have chosen a better group and they get on really well together.Both teams are continuing to improve week-by-week and are enjoying playing around Scarborough and surrounding areas.”

SCARBOROUGH & District Scarbor-ough News Sunday League side Roscoe’s Bar FC are looking for cup glory in 2015.The club, managed by Lee Paterson, have two cup quarter-finals to play in January.First up is Alma FC on January 4 in the Goal Sports Trophy quarters followed by a clash with Commercial on January 18 at Gallows Close in the Kenward Cup.Paterson said: “The two quarter-finals coming up in January gives us the oppor-tunity to get into two semi-finals which in itself would be a great achievement for us, but we aren’t happy with that, we want to go all the way.“We know both games will be tough but we will go out there to win both games and play our own game.”Paterson’s side features a solid mixture of youth and experience and plenty of competition for places.He added: “We have had some good

results of late only losing one game since the start of September in league and cup which was against first division champi-ons Trafalgar. That was until we played Heslerton where we didn’t look ourselves but we were still unlucky to come away with no points. So I expect us to come back after the Christmas break with a good performance and hopefully get back to winning ways. “We have the desire and certainly the talent to get into a cup final and even win a cup. All the lads are eager to win a trophy and this could be our year!”

SCARBOROUGH Snooker Centre owner Nigel Sutcliffe is a big fan of the ‘Rocket.’Nigel has followed Ronnie’s turbulent career with the Essex ace becoming one of the most recognisable characters the game has ever produced worldwide.Nigel said: “The first few times I watched O’Sullivan live on the TV, I could tell that he was something special.“To be at the top of the game like he has been for so many years but playing such attacking and stylish snooker, takes some doing.“Not everyone will be his biggest fan but I just love watching him play because he never holds back and just goes for it.“I have seen him play live at the UK Championships at the Barbican in York, and his speed around the table is amazing. He takes two or three shots in the same amount of time it takes other players to do one.“There are other players I have really liked following, such as Mark Williams,

but O’Sullivan is the one for me who just stands out head and shoulders above the rest when he is on his game.“To basically retire from the sport and not play for a year and come back and win the World Championships shows what he is all about.“The following year he won it again, which shows, despite him sometimes seeming to fall out of love with the game, deep down his passion is second to none.“I doubt there will be many more players quite like him and hopefully he will be around for a few more years to come, en-tertaining snooker fans all over the world.”

SCARBOROUGH South Cliff welcomed a new Lady Captain into offi ce at recently when Glenis Hoskins handed over to Karen Blake. Fortunately, despite heavy overnight rain, the course was fi t to play the new Captains Drive-In Competition and the ladies turned out in force to support their new Captain. They were rewarded with better weather as the day developed to such an extent that they could sit outside the half-way house for soup and sandwiches to help them on their way. The competition was played in 4 ball better ball Stableford format over 15 holes. After successful opening tee shots for the Captain and her Vice Chris McMahon, another 33 ladies followed them out onto the course. The prize winners on the day were 1st Dawn Saul & Sue Kelly with 31 points and a better back six than 2nd placed Caroline Woodhouse & Gillian Lamplough, 3rd spot went to Sally Waggitt & June Syrett on 29 points edging Gloria Pickering & Judy Locking into 4th place on the back nine count back. The day was rounded off very nicely by high tea served

up by the Club Caterer Barbara.It was a another weekend of

celebrations when new Captain Alan Baldwin took offi ce the following week and held his drive-in competition. Alan joined as member of the Club in 1973 and was a very popular choice for his new role, his chosen charity for his year is Diabetes UK. Almost 100 players including Alan’s Vice-Captain Steve Powell gathered to watch Alan as he hit an old persimmon driver off the 1st tee to mark his appointment. Members had previously placed little fl ags on the fi rst fairway in an attempt to win a bottle of Whisky for being closest to where the Captains Drive would fi nish. Alan plays off a handicap of 13 and is a renowned “drawer” of the ball so most fl ags were down the left hand side of the fairway but it was noted that some members were less confi dent of the Captains expertise and chose to put their fl ags at other points on the course. However, his drive fl ew slightly right of his generally anticipated target and amazingly landed alongside the fl ag of his son Carl. The bottle of whisky was

duly awarded to Carl amidst cries of skulduggery from the members but all in good fun. It was a double celebration for the Baldwin family as Alan had already won £100 in the club’s 100 draw the previous evening. The Captain’s drive in competition was a shotgun start 4ball better ball medal and was won by hot favourites Shaun Smith and Paul Dack with a net 63. Sometimes you know it is going to be your day and when they started at the par fi ve 16th Paul was quickly out of the hole and Shaun had knocked his ball out of bounds with his tee shot. However, you don’t win the club championship 13 times without some skill and Shaun eagled the hole with his second ball to claim a par. They went on to post 5 birdies and win by one shot from Barry Moment and Dave Hall who will both rue the 6 they took at the easy downwind par fi ve 8thhole. In 3rd place on nett 66 it was Ian Hare and Ron Keld. We wish Alan all the very best for an enjoyable and successful year as Captain.

PRIZE Presentation

NORTH CLIFF held their annual prize presentation night recently when the silverware for the 2013/14 was distributed. The Club Captain Paul Helliwell and his wife Valerie along with Lady Captain Eleanor Paterson handed out the trophies. Michael Patterson took much of the glory in the junior section when he picked up both the gross and nett Junior Champion titles plus three other awards in the junior category, he then topped all that by lifting the Trophy for winning the Gents Medals Final a splendid achievement. Clare Trousdale won the ladies championship once again by claiming The Graneek Cup. The Gibson Cup, the gents Club Championship was won by Chris Smith, he also added the Robinson Auction Trophy for good measure. Among many other notable successes was Jonathan Kemp, who claimed his fi rst major trophy at the Club when he received The Haigh Cup and backed that up with a prize from the Scarborough Fixings Competition. There are pictures of many of the winners posted on the Club website for those who wish to view or download them.

North Cliff held their fi rst December Medal in very amenable weather for the time of year. The division 1 section was won by the in-form Simon Boddy (1) with yet another gross sub-par round of 69 for a nett 68. Simon was two under at the turn after birdies at the 1st & 8th holes, he wobbled with bogeys at 11 & 12 but recovered well with birdies at 13, 14 & 16. He needed to be at his best to hold off Jim Boyer (3) who fi nished on

level par gross nett 68 but lost out on the count back. It was equally competitive in division 2 where immediate Past Captain Tony Quinn (13) posted a nett 66 with back to back birdies at 13 & 14, to just pip Paul Searle (11) also on nett 66 on the count back, despite a birdie on the last for Paul. In division 3 Gary Kirkham (17) took top spot with a strong fi nish for a nett 69 and Steve Sheader (26) fi nished second on nett 70.

Philip sets the pace at tough East Yorkshire eventby Pete [email protected]

LANGDALE End was the location for the latest round of the East Yorkshire Cross Country series, hosted by Scarborough Athletic Club.

This seven mile course, is traditionally one of the most diffi cult rounds on the cross country calendar with not only a forest to contend with but a 200 metres climb to Trigg Point before a fast fi nish back to the village.

This year, the muddy conditions introduced an energy sapping element, that Scarborough’s Philip Markham was happy to contend with.

Markham trains regularly in these conditions when not road-racing, so despite a quality fi eld from Driffi eld, Beverley and Goole, was well placed to fi nish 7th in class and 20th of over 150 fi nishes.

“I had tried a dry run the day before, where the ground was so frozen it was like running on concrete,” said Markham after the race. He added: “The slightly warmer and muddier conditions were a relief, allowing me to get a decent grip into the ground.”

Philip is now looking forward to an early start to his 2015 road racing season, with a couple of tune up races before the season begins in April.

REIGNING Scarborough News District League champions NEWLANDS PARK saw their 29 match unbeaten league run ended with a 2-1 home defeat by Whitby Fishermen on 29 November. Ironically Newlands’ previous league loss had been a 3-1 away reverse to the Fishermen back on 1 May 2013, and the 29-match unbeaten run had comprised of 27 wins and 2 draws. WESTOVER WASPS became surprise league leaders after thrashing Hunmanby United 8-1, with Luke Jones scoring four, and then winning 2-1 away to Ryedale Sports, when Jones struck both goals to send them top for the fi rst time in the clubs’ history. WEST PIER are title favourites however, after winning each of their opening eight league matches, while at the foot of the table, crisis club AYTON are in a desperate struggle for players after having to call off recent games due to being unable to raise a team.

FILEY TOWN RES have stormed clear of the second division with eight successive league wins, and WHITBY RUGBY CLUB look strong favourites for promotion, while in the third division, pacesetters SEAMER SPORTS RES won their fi rst ten league games before dropping their fi rst points after a 4-4 draw with Falsgrave Athletic, while league newcomers SHERBURN picked up their fi rst league win (at the 9th attempt) with a 3-1 success over Sleights Reserves on 13 December. League Cup quarter-fi nal results included an 8-3 win for EDGEHILL against Athletico 2B, with Ricky Greening scoring a hat trick and Robbie Hawkes chipping in with two

of the goals. Gary Maw scored four as DUCHESS beat Tennyson 6-0, FILEY TOWN put out local rivals Hunmanby United 5-1 and WHITBY FISHERMEN beat Whitby Rugby Club 5-3 after extra time.

In the League Trophy, Lee Wardle, Wayne Shaw and Al Wray were the scorers as FC ROSETTE beat Eastway Sports 3-2, Shaun Dodson and Sam Swift both scored twice as ATHLETICO 2B beat Tennyson 5-3, and an Andy Noon hat trick helped EDGEHILL RES to a 7-2 win away to Scalby Res. Ian Jenkinson hit a hat trick for DUCHESS in their 5-4 win at Whitby Rugby Club, and CAYTON CORINTHIANS, who are enjoying their best season for several years, beat Falsgrave Athletic on penalties after a 3-3 draw. Harbour Cup quarter-fi nal ties included a 7-2 win for LEALHOLM against United Sports Bar and a 4-1 home defeat for West Pier against York League side KIRKBYMOORSIDE, but FILEY TOWN secured a semi-fi nal berth with a 3-0 away win against Ryedale Sports, with goals from Cameron Dobson, Darren Clough and Gary Wardell.

In the North Riding Challenge Cup third round on 6 December, WEST PIER won 3-1 away to Lealholm, with goals from Martin Cooper, Luke Delve and Tom Barker, and NEWLANDS PARK had a 4-1 away success over Richmond Mavericks to book their quarter-fi nal place, with Sean Exley scoring twice and Jon Manson and Danny Jenkinson getting the others, but EDGEHILL crashed out after a 3-2 defeat at Staithes Athletic. In the Scarborough FA Junior Cup quarter-fi nals, two local

teams made through to the last four, as Lee Cappleman scored a hat trick as FILEY TOWN RES beat Beckett League side Heslerton 4-3, and NEWLANDS PASRK RES secured an impressive 4-2 win against cup holders Lingdale United.

In the Scarborough News Sunday League, fi rst division champions TRAFALGAR were beaten 3-1 by great rivals Newlands on 14 December - their fi rst league defeat for two years, since going down 2-1 to now defunct Filey Flyers on 11 November 2012. Since then Traf had gone 34 league games without defeat (33 wins and 1 draw), and that win for Newlands really opens up this season’s title race, with just 3 points separating the top three sides (Traf, Newlands and West Pier) at the Christmas break. WEST PIER kept their title challenge going with successive wins, 8-0 against Comercial (hat trick for Sam Hyde) and 6-4 against It is It is. TRAFALGAR RES still lead the second division, their latest success being a 6-1 defeat of Scarborough Spa, while WEST RIDING and SCARBOROUGH SPORTS BARROWCLIFF are handily placed to challenge for a promotion spot in the second half of the season.

Two local sides booked their places in the quarter-fi nals of the North Riding Sunday Challenge Cup, as James Seymour scored twice for WEST RIDING in a 2-2 draw with Riverside, and keeper James Burrows then saved two spot kicks as Riding went through 5-4 on penalties and NEWLANDS won 2-1 against The Corra, with strikes from Jamie Gallagher and Drew McCoubrey.
