January Meeting – Sea Creatures
31 January 2023 by
Club member Stuart Baines presented his work with sea mammels along the Yorkshire Coast. This was accompanied by some stunning photography. Stuart talked with obvious enthusiasm about this field, in which he has carved out a niche for himself as a local ‘citizen scientist’. All these animals are being seen at increasing frequencies in the last few years, which in the case of the dolphins particularly, is good news for the local economy in that they undoubtedly attract more visitors to our area. Stuart speculated on why the dolphins have gradually spread southwards from their Scottish strongholds, and also why they are now been seen more frequently in the winter months. Increasing fish stocks and hence population pressure may be the possible explanation, coupled with the undoubtedly increased numbers of observers looking for them.

January 2023 Meeting – Dolphins and Stuart
8 January 2023 by
The next meeting will be on Thursday 26th January, probably at the recently opened North Street Kitchen, on err… North Street, Scarborough not Scalby! It’s always good to support a new business venture trying to produce quality food. We haven’t yet decided the start time for this meeting, so to be advised. The alert amongst you will have noticed that this is not the traditional third Thursday of the month, it’s the fourth Thursday. I think we can cope. We have another speaker for this evening, as our very own Stuart Baines will deliver a talk on his work relating to the study and conservation of Dolphins, Whales and Porpoise that visit the coastal waters off Yorkshire, and more particularly off Scarborough. Stuart will talk about the species we can see and how this has changed over recent years, and how the presence of these animals can benefit our local community. All quite topical really, given the unexpected visit to the harbour by a wandering walrus recently. Top marks to Scarborough Council (for once) for cancelling the New Year’s Eve fireworks display in case the beastie was frightened.

Christmas Dinner Celebrations
8 January 2023 by
The original date for our Christmas Dinner having been snowed off members gathered at the Grainery Harwood Dale on the 4th January, when the weather was fortunately fine for travelling.
It was great to have a seasonal meal out of season as it can be turkey and tinsel overkill prior to the big day.
We enjoyed a champagne reception on arrival andsat down to a great meal of well cooked food in generous proportions with wine included and the usual seasonal trimmings. Some folks had forgotten their menu choices but Chairman Peter was available to put them right.
After the meal we were treated to a excellent quiz created by Simon Ward with increasing random questions (and random answers) which were real mind benders.
All in all a great Christmas Dinner albeit delayed.

Christmas Dinner Rearranged
16 December 2022 by
After the unfortunate postponement of the Christmas party owing to the snowy conditions, I have arranged with the Grainary that we will celebrate Christmas 2023 very early on the evening of Wednesday 4th January at 7pm for 7.30pm. It will simplify things if we keep all the details from the postponed dinner the same, and hence stick with the menu choices already made. I will initially assume that those members on the list to attend the original date will attend the new date. If anyone cannot manage the new date, it is imperative you let me know within the next 7 days. Alternatively, if you were unable to attend the original date, but now wish to attend in January, please let me know in the next 7 days with your menu choices from the menu below. If there are any questions please contact myself. We do need a certain minimum attendance to make this event viable for the Grainary, and so I hope we can maintain the original numbers, and hopefully add to them. If we fail to make the minimum number needed then the event will be cancelled, and some cost incurred. This event is a good one for guests, and so please do share the invitation as appropriate. The Grainary have been very understanding of the postponement, and so let’s have good numbers for them, and for us to wave Christmas goodbye and welcome in 2023 in good style. Just no more thick snow please. Merry Christmas!
This will be an Opt-In meeting. Please use this link to let us know your are coming. https://www.scarborough41club.co.uk/opt-in/
