Darren has arranged another Rugby Day and meal for Saturday, 26 October. The event proved very popular last year and we hope it will be a success also this year.
Scarborough are playing Rochdale.
The cost is £25.00 entry per person to be paid via your own Scarborough 41 Club personal account or £25.00 on the day to Darren. This covers entry to the match (viewing from either balcony or pitch side) and a 2 course meal.
We have 24 places available and Darren would appreciate if you could email him if you intend to come. His address is in the Club Directory (available via Mike Shingler if you have deleted your copy).
If there are insufficient numbers to make 24 guests (two tables) Darren will open it up to guests/family , but just initially he would like to see who can make it.
The meeting time is 1.00 pm in the Rugby Club function room upstairs and the meal commences at 1.30 pm followed by the match.
The bar will be open and ready for business.
If there are any special dietary requirements then please Darren know so he can arrange accordingly.

Many thanks to Darren for organising this.

While most 41 Club members may have been taking a well-deserved summer break from the arduous task of attending Club meetings lounging by the pool Simon Lockley and the members of his Charity Night Committee have been hard at work planning for a Charity Night to be held at Scarborough Rugby Club on Thursday 5 December to raise money for Chairman Dom’s nominated charities for the year Scarborough Talking News and SPARKS.
Following on from the success of last year’s Charity Night the plans include a raffle, hot buffet, entertainment throughout the evening and ending with the opportunity for budding John Travoltas to show off their moves on the dance floor.
Further details to follow.
Looking even further ahead Simon’s Committee is proposing an event to celebrate 41 Club’s 70th anniversary combined with a Charity Night on Saturday 27 September 2025.

The evening of 11 June saw the first of this summer’s sporting events organised by our Sporting Officer Darren when 13 players from 41 Cub and its sister organisation Farts participated in the annual Quoits Competition held as in previous years at Beck Hole.
Members of the Beck Hole Quoits Club (John, Phil, Eddie and Ivor) were present to provide the use of their quoits together with guidance on the best way to throw a quoit and how to score. One member kindly offered to participate to make an even number of players divided into teams of 2.
The usual crowd of sheep and locals soon gathered to watch the high-quality (?) throwing although in truth there were more sheep than locals and the sheep soon wandered off in search of something more entertaining.
With practice the standard of play improved and the quoits began to land in the clay pits instead of bouncing off the surrounding woodwork causing the risk of injury to other players, spectating sheep or passing motorists despite the catch fencing.
The weather was unseasonably cold with a risk of rain stopping play. In the event after some 2 hours, play was brought to a premature end not by rain but with the players under attack from midges.
In a tense final game Phil Rigg with some assistance from his team mate the ringer from the Quoits Club triumphed over Dave Ascough (last year’s winner who was also partnered by Ivor!) and Richard Kirby. Congratulations to Phil and Ivor.
The players and Quoits Club members then retired to the Birch Hall Inn for a well-earned pie and a pint or two.
During the evening £100 was raised to be donated to the air ambulance service.
A good night’s entertainment enjoyed by all save the sheep!

The final meeting before the summer break and the first meeting of our new Chairman Dominic’s year in office found us back at La Tapas for some authentic Scarborough tapas and Spanish beer brewed under licence in Burton on Trent.
Several members followed our absent Secretary Mike’s suggestion of a pre-meeting pint (or two!) at the Merchant with our new Catering officer John doing sterling work to chivvy members to drink up and make their way to Bland’s Cliff for the start of the meeting.
A reasonable number of members attended albeit with several non-apologies duly noted by Treasurer Iain which bodes well for the wine fund for next April’s AGM.
After numerous small plates of food and several drinks the Chairman called the meeting to order and with the benefit of a crib sheet provided by our Immediate Past Chairman Charlie successfully chaired his first meeting with only minimal barracking.
Reports from those officers present included a reminder from the Treasurer to those members who still owed the Club money that he knew where they lived but declined to name names. The Treasurer also obtained the formal approval of members for a £500 donation from the Charity account to the Immediate Part Chairman’s chosen charity the pair of them having omitted to deal with the donation at the AGM.
The Immediate Past Chairman who was clearly missing the limelight took the opportunity to present our Membership Officer Simon with a bottle of wine he failed to receive at the AGM in April due to his absence.
In the absence of the Sports Officer Darren, Richard Kirby reminded members that over the summer Darren would be organising the annual quoits match at Beck Hole and an archery competition at the Scarborough Archery Club in Cayton with further details from Darren to follow.
The final item of business was the induction of a new member Venks Venkatesh proposed by the Immediate Past Chairman Charlie and seconded by Peter Calow
The meeting closed with the usual toast to RTBI.
