May 2022 Meeting: Geo’s (NB date change)

8 May 2022 by

Date change!

The refurbishment of Geo’s (formerly Anton’s) is to take a little longer than anticipated and it doesn’t officially open its doors until the middle of the month.

As a result, the date for our next meeting has been put back a week to Thursday, 26 May 2022.

Geo’s Restaurant, Foreshore Road, Scarborough, Cocktail Bar & Vibrant Dining, is slap bang on Scarborough seafront. Harbour views: “City Vibe, Sea Side.” Preceded by drinks and a talk on the Sea-grown Boat.

We begin at Sea-grown on the harbour at 6.30pm but we’re awaiting final confirmation of that. Geo’s at 7.30 for 8.00pm.

Any apologies are due by noon on Friday, 20 May.

Further details will follow, including the arrangements for the induction of our new Chairman and Vice Chairman.

Please note: if you have already apologised, believing the meeting was to be on 19 May, our estimable Catering Officer will be in contact with you soon to check if your apology still holds or if you are able to come along on this new date.

April 2022 Meeting Report: AGM at the Crescent

6 May 2022 by

The following is a brief outline of the evening, full minutes to follow from Simon Lockley (via email) in due course.

The AGM evening at the Crescent Hotel started well. National Council Liaison Officer Wynn Parry reported on the change of Association rules to the effect that clubs could invite any new members regardless of whether they had been in Round Table previously or not. This is without limit in number. 

Wynn commented that that our 41 Club is one of the biggest in area and indeed in the country which, in my opinion, is worrying for 41 Club nationally given that we are ourselves conscious of our shrinking numbers. 

Wynn asked that we support National Tangent’s charity work by buying raffle tickets which we duly did; the Club also voted to give a lump sum of £100.

The previous minutes from the AGM were passed; the AGM had been with minimum attendance by officers only at the Nags Head, Scalby due to Covid restrictions.

Officers’ reports were given with no major issues forthcoming.

It was discussed what the situation regarding Aalten visits was currently. Apparently, Aalten are keen to firm up a date but Round Table are being cautious at the moment given that they only currently have approximately eight members. 41 Club hold funds to support a visit.

There will hopefully be a sports night, possibly Quoits, in the near future.

Given that Peter Calow the Vice Chairman was currently self-isolation, the handover to a new Chairman and appointment of officers could not take place and was been postponed to the next meeting.

A toast was made by John White in memory of Tom Cathcart.

A toast was made by Simon Ward in favour of Dominic Grunwell for his Catering Officer endeavours through the year.

At this point we enjoyed dinner which comprised of a Pate starter, Irish Stew and, to finish, Cheese and Biscuits or Sticky Toffee pudding.  

After the dinner, Chairman David Ascough inducted Neil Warburton as a new member.

Dave suggested the Rainbow Centre as his appointed charity for the year. He gave gifts to his officers in thanks for their services, Mike Shingler with a miniature replica.

Steve Slade was presented with his past chair gong, just a little late due to Covid.

With that, the AGM procedures were paused pending completion at the May meeting.

April 2022 Meeting: Scarborough 41 Club AGM

28 March 2022 by

Due to the fact that both our illustrious Chairman Dave and your hard-working, under-paid and under-appreciated Secretary (his words, not mine) will not be available on the normal date for our AGM.

So the date is now set for 28 April.

The venue is at the Crescent Hotel. Please note a 7.00pm rendezvous for a prompt 7.30pm start.

Dress to be smart casual, please.

If you cannot attend to see your hard-working, under-paid and under-appreciated Secretary in action, your apologies are due no later than noon on Friday, 22 April 2022.

Mike prepares for the AGM

March 2022 Meeting Report: Chinese Meal (Maritime Meeting)

20 March 2022 by

The March 41 Club meeting got off to the usual start with a pre-dinner tipple at the Tap and Spile on Falsgrave. A good turnout with circa 20 members getting a head start on the beer. Personally, a top tipple was available to me: Camerons Strongarm – definitely a throw back to the late 70s!

We were herded out and across the road at 7.30 pm to Tops Chinese restaurant. Chairman Dave welcomed guests Andrew Hayes, Neil Warburton and John Price.

The meal comprised of the usual pre-dinner crisps (always remind me of Quavers), a medley of fried goodies, and a main course of four pork and sweet and sour dishes dishes, rice and a side of chips (they have the Scarborough preferences sorted here not something you are likely to get with your meal in Peking).

Chairman Dave asked for reports but none were forthcoming.

Not much maritime apart from the prawns in the sweet and sour but  we left suitably stuffed and satisfied so what’s not to like?!

AGM at The Crescent next on the agenda.

Report and photographs by Stuart Baines.

Don’t look now, Brian, but we’re about to be attacked by a giant Triffid flower. – Don’t worry, David, I think it is after Nigel.
Get off my chip!

February 2022 Meeting Report: Ships and Chips

7 March 2022 by

A visit to the Maritime Heritage Centre followed by a Golden Grid Fish and Chip supper.

The pre-dinner visit to the Scarborough Maritime Centre was very interesting as I am a Scarborough lad. It was great to see lots of photos and information of my home town from yesteryear.

We were treated to a very informative talk on the projects managed by Borough Engineer Harry Smith who designed many of Scarborough’s iconic features such as Peasholm Park, The Open Air Theatre, what was the Floral Hall, and the now also defunct South Bay Swimming Pool which was at the time the first sea water swimming pool in the country. All in all a very productive character.

After visiting the museum we dropped down to the Golden Grid, some via the Newcastle Packet, for a fine fish and chip supper. We were joined by guest Martin Johnson.

Thanks were given to Dominic and John White for arranging the evening. Dominic reported that the next meeting would be on 17 March.
