March Meeting – England and St. George

21 February 2019 by

Thursday 14 March

Ok, we all know that our Patron Saint’s anniversary day is 23rd April (actually, do we all know that ?) but that is just after we have gone into our summer recess! What a nuisance! So, rather than have a Welsh Day on 1st March (bet you didn’t know that either!) we are going to PRETEND that Thursday 14th March is St George’s Day, just for a laugh.

SCARBOROUGH YACHT CLUB


We have booked the yacht club for the evening and you need to get there at 7.30 so as to sit down for a meal at 8.00pm. The food will be prepared by your Catering team and will be unashamedly ENGLISH ! There will be NO Haggis in sight nor even a leek! However if you want a leak the toilet is on the ground floor. Fine English ales will be served from the bar, some draft and some bottled. Greensleaves will be played loudly all evening just to irritate the neighbours!

After the meal there will be a talk about the origins of the English by reference to a real DNA analysis. Then we will have a tasting session of a fine spirit! Here’s a clue what it is – invented by the Dutch but nurtured and developed by the English. No, it isn’t whisky or brandy or even vodka. We will then have a 20 question quiz on English history with a prize of a bottle of spirits for the winner!

The toast before RTBI will be “ Saint George and the English!”

Then we will all go home.

Seenager

21 February 2019 by

I just discovered my age group!
I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager)
I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 to 70 years later.
I don’t have to go to school or work
I get an allowance every month.
I have my own place to live.
I don’t have a curfew.
I have a driver’s license and my own car.
I have ID that gets me into bars and the wine store.  I like the wine store best.
The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant, they aren’t scared of anything, they have been blessed to live this long, why be scared?
And I don’t have acne.
Life is Good!
Also, you will feel much more intelligent after reading this, if you are a Seenager.
Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains. Scientists believe this also makes you hard of hearing as it puts pressure on your inner ear.
Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature’s way of making older people do more exercise.
I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can’t remember their names.  So, please forward this to your friends; they may be my friends, too.

Burns Night Meeting

26 January 2019 by

The meeting was held this year at the new restaurant called “Nineteen09” at the new Scarborough TEC on Filey Road, Scarborough.

The 41 Club members were joined by ten members of Round Table and the total attendance on the night was forty.

Once members had sampled the drinks in the bar, the organisers Tom Cathcart and John White, asked for us all to be seated.  The haggis was then piped into the restaurant with a procession including our Chairman and Dave Henderson, who was wearing a Scottish hat and wig for this spectacle.

The piper excelled himself with the pipe playing and the address to the haggis which was warmly welcomed by the members.

We enjoyed a superb three course meal which was followed by cheese and biscuits and coffee.  Ian Cocker then gave a whisky tasting and talk.

The training staff and tutors came into the restaurant afterwards to receive a round of applause for all their hard efforts.

 A great night was had by all. 

After the meal a new member of Scarborough Round Table was inducted by the Chairman, Jim McCann, who used the new sword that had been presented to the club by the Aalten Round Table from Holland.

Sleigh raises tidy sum

25 January 2019 by


Message from Mike. So although I wasn’t able to be Santa due to Santa having to have a new knee operation in November. I did help Ben Kitto (RT88) to sort replacements out etc.
The result was that there was enough 41ers and FARTs to fill in for Santa, Rudolph and the Elves. 
So the children were not let down after all
and in the end they collected a tidy sum of £3177.
Thank you to all of you that helped.

February Meeting – SABA

24 January 2019 by

Thai BANQUET! 

SABA Thai Restaurant on Saint Thomas street has a great and well justified reputation for serving excellent authentic food. They also sell some very good bottled Thai beers such as Singha. It would be good to have a large turnout for this so we would have exclusive use of the ground floor of the building.

THE EVENING – Thu 21 Feb

We  meet  at 7pm in the SCARBOROUGH FLIER  on St Nicolas Street. This place is one of the best for choice of beers and some fine lagers and is surprisingly cheap. It is also an ideal meeting place.

At 7.30pm we stroll 100 yards to the Thai SABA Restaurant and we have a reservation for 30 blokes ( or more) to eat at 8.pm We have ordered a fabulous special set meal based on the Restaurant’s advice which we will really enjoy, all washed down with an excellent bottle of cold Singha beer. 

There will be some business to conduct after the meal
