July BBQ Final Arrangements

Hi fellow BBQ enthusiasts

The weather is reasonable ( ie no rain ) for Saturday and we are now over 30 attendees, which is great.

For those of you who haven’t been to the beautiful house and gardens of the Edwards family known as Fishermans Cottage, East Ayton, it is best to approach on foot from A170 up the road to Forge Valley and is the first house on the left. There will be some blue and white balloons flying at the entrance.

Anybody sensibly thinking of coming by taxi should use the East Ayton garage as the stop off and pickup point.

Because this is an ‘opt in ‘ event payment of £15 per head is payable on the night in cash to Simon Ward who tells me that he has been trained in the dark arts of extracting money from Yorkshire folk. Rather him than me !

Look forward to seeing you all on the night.

Tom

July BBQ and Historic Walk Update

Itinerary – Meet at Fisherman’s Cottage at 16.00 pm if you wish to have a guided tour of Ayton Castle. Only recently have guided tours become available for the general public. I am told by John Edwards that, strictly speaking, it is a fortified Manor House which was built in the turbulent 14th Century. The trip may take up to an hour AND IS VOLUNTARY of course.

17.00hrs – Repair to Fisherman’s Cottage where we will start the evening with a complimentary glass of bubbly and then enjoy a traditional Greek starter consisting of cold meze and finishing with hot meze such as grilled lamb meatballs.

18.00hrs – We help ourselves to spit-roasted marinated lamb and chicken served with Greek Village Salad and buttered Jersey potatoes.

19.00hrs – Dessert course consisting of Greek-style yoghurt served with sweet white grapes and honey (there will also be some Tiramisu for anyone who doesn’t like yoghurt).

DRINKS – There will be a self-service bar with drinks at supermarket prices, typically £5-6 bottle for wine and £1 for beer and lager. Or please feel free to bring your own liquor if you wish – we have plenty of glasses!

WEATHER – If inclement then the event will be held in a marquee and will not be cancelled unless very strong winds occur which is unlikely.

COST – To include the bubbly and a per capita contribution to the Friends of  Ayton Castle – £15 per head to be paid on the night.

RSVP – This is an event for members, partners and guests.  If you wish to attend then please Tom know by email no later than 12.00hrs on Monday 10 July.

(REMINDER – this is an OPT IN event so you have to book if you wish to attend)
Lots of people have already booked  but, unfortunately Tom’s iPad has dumped the details so please book again – sorry !

If anyone has any queries then please contact Tom ASAP on his mobile 07939 246202

April and May 2017 meeting arrangements

April 2017

Our AGM is to be held at the Wrea Head, Scalby (as in past years), 7.30pm for 8.00 pm on Thursday, 20 April 2017.

Dress code: smart casual.

Apologies for this meeting are due by noon on Friday, 14 April 2017.

Organiser: Simon Ward

The AGM agenda will follow as soon as the Secretary recovers from his post-Tenerife de-tox.

 

May 2017

This will be a set three course meal for members and partners at Olivers on the Mount restaurant on the evening of Thursday, 25 May 2017.

For the more energetic, the meal will be preceded by a short stroll either from our new Chairman’s house to the restaurant, or around the Mount itself.

As the restaurant is opening just for us, they will need to know exact numbers and vegetarian menu options one week beforehand. This is therefore likely to be an opt-in meeting.

Please put this in your diary now – more details to follow nearer the time.

Organiser: Gordon Hayes

Scarborough 41 Club November 2016 meeting and charity fundraising evening

The November meeting will be an all-ticket opt-in meeting on Friday, 11 November – our charity meal / musical entertainment / cash-free fun casino at the Crown Spa in aid of our supported charity this year, Basics Plus.

Please note:

1)      This counts as an ‘opt-in’ 41 Club night, and therefore members will be paid for, and need only pay for any guests/ partners that they invite.

2)      We do still need to know who will be attending for catering purposes of course – numbers to Steve Slade please.

3)      The casino part of the evening is a fun event only. There will be some prizes but no actual money will be lost or won.

4)       The deadline for 41 Club members to obtain their tickets for the Casino Night is 31 October.

Basics Plus was formed in 1990 to provide training and work experience for people with special needs. Over the years the organisation has developed projects which not only benefit people with learning disabilities but provides valued and much needed services to the local community. Through a range of activities Basics Plus is making a significant contribution to the region’s rapidly expanding social economy.

Open to members, partners, family and friends. Tickets (no charge for members as this is a Club meeting, and priced at £30 each for non-members to include the meal and coffee, entertainment and casino chips) are limited and going quickly, so I would urge members to obtain their tickets asap to avoid disappointment.

They are available from either me, Simon L, Stuart, Steve Slade, Mike Shingler and Richard Grunwell.

Chairman, Scarborough 41 Club

May 2016 Meeting arrangements – walk and The Bryherstones

Our next meeting is on 19 May is at the Bryherstones, 7.30 for 8.00pm (with a walk beforehand – any volunteers from Iain, Ian or Nigel to organise this bit?).

Its an opt in meeting with partners.

The menu choices are:

Mains:- Steak Pie; Pan fried chicken breast in a mushroom sauce; Catch of the day (fish and chips); or smoked salmon and prawn platter (cold)

Desserts:- Brandy snap basket with toffee ice cream; Home made lime cheesecake; home made chocolate brownie

Can people let me know:  if they are coming; how many of them are coming; and what their menu choices are no later than noon on Friday, 13 May 2016.

It has been noted that from previous years most walkers walk either from Station Road in Cloughton or Rocks Lane in Burniston along the cinder track. Both have car parking spaces. The catering team will then transport drivers only back to their cars from the Bryherstones at, say, 7.30 pm. We therefore suggest that anyone walking from Rock Lane should meet there at say 6.45 pm and those from Station Road meet at 7.00 pm, if you want to walk with others.

December 2015 Curry Night Meeting

The December meeting involved a “festive” meal at Scarborough’s Eastern Paradise, excellent food

as ever although the service was a bit slow. Plenty of Poppadoms and the usual pickle tray and a

good and varied banquet.

Unfortunately for Simon the catering officer non apology attendance was high leaving five empty

seats, please make sure you apologise to save you money and the club the embarrassment at the

venue.

The Treasure being on his hols those attending were able to keep their loose cash in their pocket

with no charity box to do the rounds.

The chairman reminded members that the next me

eting is Burns’ Night on 14 January 2016 which will

be the black tie

November 2015 Race Night report

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.
