Burns Night Report January 2016

18 January 2016 by

Report on Burns Night Meeting at Fledglings Restaurant on 14 January 2016

A pleasing 27 members of 41 Club including several members not seen for some time and 5 members of Round Table attended the early Burns Night Meal at Fledglings Restaurant at Yorkshire Coast College which Chairman Richard described as a 41 Club meeting with Round Table in attendance as guests. There were 2 other guests in attendance Ed Asquith and all the way from Australia Alan Gammel.


An enjoyable meal made up of typical Scottish ingredients including smoked salmon, haggis, neeps, taties, venison, cranachan and cloutie dumpling was well cooked and served by Yorkshire Coast Colleges second year catering students who were thanked by Chairman Richard for their sterling efforts on behalf of the members.
Tim Draper from Round Table addressed the haggis before stabbing it with a knife in time honoured tradition using a knife provided by the College and not the dirk he had stuffed down his sock and for entertainment after the meal Jim McCann also from Round Table read a mercifully short poem by the great Scottish bard called “Bottle and Friend”
Included with the meal was a shot of whisky. Several attempts were made by whisky aficionados to identify the whisky. Was it from Speyside or Islay – only for their pretentiousness to be exposed when one of the students appeared from the kitchen carrying a bottle of bog standard Bells!
The meeting concluded with reports from the various officers including one from the Sports Officer Jim Hughes reporting that regrettably doe to the recent wet weather all games involving members of the Club had had to be postponed but he did promise a full programme of sporting events as soon as the weather improved and ended with the usual toast to RTBI

Ian Brabbs

Thanks Ian, Ed (SB)

Scarborough 41 Club and Round Table charity race night proves a good bet!

16 December 2015 by

Scarborough 41 Club and Round Table recently joined forces to arrange a Race Night to raise money for the Round Table Children’s Wish appeal which arranges ‘Wishes’ to cheer the lives of seriously ill children and their families, be it a trip to Disneyland or meeting a pop star.

The event was held in November in a large function room donated free of charge by Scarborough Rugby Club, and attracted sponsorship from a number of local firms:

  • Lloyd Dowson
  • David Duggleby
  • Brian Davidson
  • Raflatac
  • Moore Stephens
  • Pinkney Grunwells
  • Care Micro
  • Boyes Stores

Organised by a joint committee of Richard Grunwell, Steve Slade, Simon Ward, Ben Kitto, Mike Shingler and chaired by Simon Lockley, the event raised a total of £2,000, and was attended by 108 people including Round Table Children’s Wish representative Alan Collins who travelled all the way from Coventry for the evening!

2015 Round Table Sleigh fund-raising

13 December 2015 by

To all Santas, Elves and Rudolfs:

It has been a good effort this year, especially in view of Table numbers.

As for the bucket money which I’ve been taking to the casino each day ( don’t bother making the obvious remark), it was going very well up until Wednesday when I was told the coin machine had broken ( no doubt our buckets with the odd foreign coin and button in didn’t help!). Anyway it’s fixed again today, so I should get the figures out next week for Ben to issue.

santa_2015

Talking of Ben. Just to put the record straight. As Rudolf he sits in the dry in a heated car, while Santa freezes on the sleigh and the Elves run themselves into the ground! Indeed he admitted to me when we had finished Newby and Barrowcliff that he had the temperature set at 23c as he had to have the windows open to listen to Santa! QED.

Seriously though, please pass on my thanks to all the elves, both male and female, young and old, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas to you all and don’t forget, assuming you’ve been good, I’ll be back on Christmas Eve, so don’t wait up.

Table President Santa Mike

Update 16 December 2015

The total sum raised this year was £3,198.25. This was a record sum for the collection and included record takings on one evening of almost £500 around Peasholm. Well done again to everyone.

November 2015 Race Night report

23 November 2015 by

Background
– Whilst 41 Club has gained some new members in recent years, it was proposed that we should raise the profile via a ‘Membership Evening’
– The immediate advice from Round Table members who had tried a similar event, was that actually badging the evening with the word ‘Membership’ was guaranteed to frighten off any invited guests
– The Membership Officer – Simon Lockley -therefore formed a committee consisting of Richard Grunwell/ Steve Slade/ Simon Ward plus Ben Kitto flying the flag for RT88 to agree a way forward. We also had guest appearances from Mike Shingler & Nigel Sheppard, and David Henderson promoted the event online
– It was decided to host some type of social event, and this was rapidly followed by the notion of making this into a Race Night to generate some funds for seriously ill children
Progress
– The Membership Officer then spent an exhausting 3 months delegating tasks to others
– The Race Night started to take shape, and by ‘D Day’ – 20 November – Yorkshire Race Nights had been booked to appear at Scarborough Rugby Club, and 110 people had booked a place
– Jenny Slade plus her friend Victoria, and Elaine Lockley kindly spent several hours decorating the room with items donated by Boyes Stores
The Event
– There were a few last minute cancellations and additions but 106 people attended, with Ian Costello parting them from their money at the door.
– Scarborough Rugby Club donated a very large room free of charge and sponsorship from local companies underpinned costs and got us off to a head start. Thanks to: Lloyd Dowson/ David Duggleby/ Brian Davidson/ Raflatac/ Moore Stephens/ Pinkney Grunwells/ Care Micro/ plus Boyes
– Alan Collins – Ambassador for Children’s Wish – drove all the way up from Coventry to explain how the organisation provided customised ‘wishes’ to brighten the lives of children undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious conditions
– Simon L & Ben Kitto kicked off the event with a brief welcome then handed over to Tyrone from Yorkshire Race Nights.
– Simon Ward & Jim Hughes manned theTote and the racing started, pausing only for some excellent pie , chips & peas at 8.30pm plus a raffle hosted by Tony Peers assisted by Samantha Lockley
– Stuart Baines was tasked with capturing a record of the event

Conclusion
– Steve Slade arranged for money from the various sources to be counted during the event, and he was able to step forward at about 11pm to thank people for attending and announce a provisional net joint donation from 41 Club & RT88 of £2,000
– The local press are going to be invited to a formal handover of the money to Children’s Wish, and contact details to be supplied to encourage potential new members to get in touch.

20 November 2015 club meeting: Charity Race Night

29 October 2015 by

horse_racingDear Fellow Members,

Simon Lockley and his group have been working extremely hard organising the Race Night on Friday, 20 November. I do urge you all to support him. This is a serious fund-raising opportunity for the Club and deserves a positive response from us all.

We had a good address earlier this month from Tabler Alan Collins, the ambassador for Round Table Children’s Wish,  who made a considerable round trip to be with us that night to tell us all about Children’s Wish and the great work it is doing in supporting special wishes for seriously ill children.  Alan is returning on 20 November, to support our Race Night. Please support, with your friends, families and colleagues,  to make this event a success.

We will congregate at the Rugby Club from 7pm, with the first race planned for 7.30pm. After four races, there will be food (pie, peas and chips, plus a pudding) and a short charity auction.

This is our November club meeting, but will be on an opt-in basis, so apologies are not required. Do let us make this a successful evening, please!!!

Please confirm your attendance, with the names of your guests, to Steve Slade by noon on Saturday, 14 November. Tickets are £15pp to include your food and can be bought from Simon Lockley in advance or by payment to the Treasurer on the night. Please note that Club members and their partners do not have to pay the Treasurer as the cost will come from your standing order.

Best wishes,

Richard

Richard Grunwell
Chairman, Scarborough 41 Club
