January 2023 Meeting – Dolphins and Stuart

The next meeting will be on Thursday 26^th 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.
