We meet at Geo’s (formerly Anton’s) as originally planned. However there are now alternative plans as Seagrown cannot accommodate us. Read on.

We now begin at the Leeds Arms at 6.30pm for those who wish to wet their whistles. As before, it’s then Geo’s at 7.30 for 8.00pm.

Geo’s Restaurant, Foreshore Road, Scarborough, Cocktail Bar & Vibrant Dining, is slap bang on Scarborough seafront. Harbour views: “City Vibe, Sea Side.”

Dominic and John met at Geo’s earlier today to planner evening and Dom says the place looks really swish and should be on top form to entertain us.

Scarborough 41 Club donates to The Rainbow Centre

Scarborough 41 Club has donated £500 to The Rainbow Centre to help them progress their excellent endeavours in offering practical help to vulnerable people in the town’s local community.

We wish The Rainbow Centre continued success in their mission.

Each year the incoming Chairman of Scarborough 41 Club names his chosen charity, to receive donations raised by the members during his year.

The Club’s Chairman for 2021/22 was David Ascough and he chose The Rainbow Centre for their outstanding work in providing debt advice, food and clothing banks together with various other invaluable services to people in need, including the homeless.

The Rainbow Centre was founded in 1997 and is in need of donations of any size whether it be monetary or food and clothing, particularly in the current difficult economic times people are facing.  

Pictured are David Ascough, Scarborough 41 Club Chairman handing over the cheque to Trish Kinsella, Manager and John Trebble, Trustee and volunteer at The Rainbow Centre.

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

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

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.
