RAF Fylingdales Visit Report
24 July 2019 by
A few members of Scarborough 41 Club recently joined with the Scarborough Round Table to visit the RAF Fylingdales site. We all had to be security checked in advance and went through 2 checks to gain entry to the site on the night.
We were shown into the conference room and given a talk about RAF Fylingdales and amongst other interesting things were informed that:
- The site provides a continuous ballistic missile early warning service to the UK and USA, ensuring a surprise missile attack cannot succeed.
- Any such detection of a missile strike should give 25 minutes notice in which a decision must be made as to whether to counter strike.
- A secondary role is to monitor all objects in space with the size of a fist or larger, all items being numbered and catalogued.
- A third role is as a satellite warning service for the UK keeping track of spy satellites used by other countries.
- We were panning to also visit the operation room but, during the conference room talk, were advised that we were not allowed as there had been a “live incident” which they were monitoring.
- Over 350 service personnel, military police and civilian staff work there.
It was a very interesting tour but I cannot give any more information “as we were sworn to secrecy” at this top secret base.

Gordon Runs for Charity
20 July 2019 by
A huge thank you to everyone who supported me, my lovely granddaughter Hannah, and Sunshine and Smiles Leeds Down Support Network in the Leeds 10k road race on Sunday 7th July. Despite being hampered by the ravages of time, I managed to finish in the top half of the field with a passable time of 56 minutes.
We raised over £2000 which will make a big difference to this small charity. My local giving page remains open for further information and pictures. Thank you again!

Quoits Night
5 July 2019 by
Many thanks to everyone who attended the Quoits evening laid on by the Beck Hole Quoits club 0n July 2nd
The weather was perfect and a good night was had by all. Everybody had 5 games each over the 2 hours. Nobody got injured and luckily no damage was caused to any parked cars. The lucky winners this year were Eddie and myself destroying all the competition. However to my advantage Eddie is the Quoits team captain and plays three times a week so I can’t really claim the victory. So the first prize went to Dave and Mike (as usual) and a close second to Dom and Martin.
Many thanks to the Quoits team for hosting the event and to Glenys at the Birch Hall Inn for supplying the Ale and food. – Darren
