November Meeting – Date Change

26 October 2017 by
 Reflections on Passchendaele.
A talk by our very own David Henderson on the subject of this momentous battle that took place one hundred years ago this year. David will bring a fresh and informative view to the subject. The meeting will be held at the Rugby Club.
“Passchendaele is synonymous for mud and blood and futility. But why was it fought? And why was it fought in the location of Ypres? And what did it achieve beyond its reputation for human carnage? We will attempt to explore these themes as we examine – from all sides – the context of the penultimate year of the Great War.”
 CHANGE OF DATE
Note the date change from Thursday 9th November to Thursday 30th November. This is to avoid a clash of dates with the Chairman’s Charity Evening.
To avoid confusion all apologies so far given for 9th November are void and any member wishing to give apologies for 30th November meeting must do so again.

Indian Banquet Evening October Meeting or (an evening with the other Ian Burnett)

25 October 2017 by

On Thursday 12th October the October 41 Club meeting was the ever-popular Indian meal outing at the Eastern Paradise, for those that were thirsty a few pints at the Scarborough Flyer on St Nicholas Street started the evening off well.

The meal itself was excellent as ever including unusual fish curry although the speed of service could have been a bit more upbeat.

We began with the usual Poppadums with pickles, the hotter the better for me, my taste buds must be getting old and de-sensitized !

Starter Chicken Tikka and Shish Kabab starter.

Mains Butter Chicken, Shisha Kabab Lamb, Tandoori Fish, Prawn Curry and more rice than you could eat.

The other Ian Burnett, not our own welly wearer but Regional 41 Club Rep joined us for the meal and gave a short address over the benefits that 41 members can obtain such as 20% of Hyundai Cars, 10% of Fred Olson cruises and lots of other odds and sods.

All in all, a great evening enjoyed by those who turned out.

Piggy Fun Time from Mark

25 October 2017 by

I was reading a book on pig anatomy the other day.
It was all pretty standard until I got to the end.
Then there was a twist in the tale.
Did you hear about the pig with laryngitis?
He was disgruntled.

A pig invited me around to see his new home.
I was surprised – it was actually quite sty-lish.

One day a little pig walked into a bar. He asked the bartender for a beer, and after drinking it he asked where the toilet was.The bartender told him where it was and off walked the pig.

Then another little pig walked in and he also asked the bartender for a beer. After drinking it, he too asked where the toilet was. Once again the bartender gave him directions and off walked the pig.
Then yet another little pig walked into the bar and asked for a beer, which he drank. Then the bartender asked him, “Don’t you want to know where the toilet is?”
The pig replied, “No, I’m the little pig that went wee wee wee all the way home”.

Christmas Greetings from Mark

15 October 2017 by

Happy Christmas to all 41 Club members and their partners. I hope you all have a plan to avoid the worst ravages of the build up to Xmas which seems to start earlier every year.

Last week one of our patients decided to try our new drive through dispensary which was a concept I only came up with after the event. Luckily no one was seriously injured I thought the car in question must have literally flown to get to where it ended up. This made me think of the Jetsons one of my favourite cartoons from the 1970’s. They predicted flying cars and as a child then I expected that by 2017 we’d all be driving/ flying around. I’m sure Mr Dyson or Musk are on to it .

Thanks to all who organised, attended and contributed to the extremely successful charity evening held at Scarborough Rugby Club in aid of Scarborough Disabled Swimming, the evening featured dancing and music by along with an entertaining interlude by “Twylight“ a high quality entertainment package including a large choir at the start of the evening and continuing to dancers and singer as the evening progressed, Twilight added sparkle to a well-attended event.
‘The evening also included a short play ‘The Carol Police’ written by Keith Johnson which gave a light-hearted take on how traditional carols could be viewed by over-zealous officialdom. The play – which has a clever twist at the end – was produced by arrangement with ‘Pint-size plays’.

A great evening was had and a total of £ 1600 was raised for the local charity which is Scarborough Disabled Swimming, the charity helps people with a disability and their family/carers access the benefits of swimming, may this be through swimming for leisure, sport or rehabilitation.

Seasons Greetings

Mark

Charity Evening

6 October 2017 by
  • We have our annual charity dinner in a few week’s time:
    • FRIDAY 10th NOVEMBER at the Rugby Club
    • 30 for 8pm
    • 3 course meal plus entertainment
    • It is a 41 Club night so members are paid for – partners and other guests are £30 a head
    • In aid of a local charity – Scarborough Disabled Swimming Group – chosen by Mark Laws
    • Dress is smart/ casual

This will be our third 41 Club Charity Night in recent years. The most important aspect of our club is – in my opinion at least – the fellowship and sustained friendship. However, it is also good to hold an annual event to support worthwhile causes such as the Disabled Swimming Club. In previous years we have raised money for Children’s Wish (for terminally ill children to do something special) and Basics Plus (who employ people with special needs helping both them and the community).

Please therefore support the event if you possibly can. Previous events have been well supported and last year we raised over £1,700.

As this counts as a 41 Club night members need to apologise in the usual way if they are unable to attend please.

NOTE – AS THIS IS A CLUB MEETING MEMBERS NOT ATTENDING NEED TO APOLOGISE IN THE USUAL WAY BY THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER. APOLOGY

THOSE WISHING TO BRING GUESTS SHOULD PASS NUMBERS TO STEVE SLADE.

Some members have kindly asked if they can make a donation. Any cheques should be made out to ‘Scarborough 41 Club’ and forwarded to Steve please.

Many thanks

Simon Lockley – Membership Officer

October Meeting – Indian Banquet

6 October 2017 by

Thursday 12 October (apologies by Friday 6 October)
The evening starts by meeting in THE SCARBOROUGH FLYER on St Nicholas Street from 6.30pm. This newly refurbished pub sells fine cask ales at very reasonable prices. And it’s only 3 minute walk from

EASTERN PARADISE, opposite the Market

 

 

 

I am arranging that we are treated to the SPECIAL BANQUET  which few people seem to know about but which is superb. One of the dishes is Bangladeshi curried fish which is divine. Part of the evening will consist on sitting down to an ice cold pint of COBRA lager.

Tom (Social Secretary and Camera critic)
