An appreciation of Mike appears beneath, alongside shorter tributes contributed by members of the Club. This, then, is the first time for 22 years that the OB magazine has not been produced under Mike’s stewardship, so on this occasion more than ever we are grateful to the professionalism and skill of our publishers, Positive Action Publications, and in particular to Sarah Dove, for guiding the magazine from a collection of disparate pieces on the editing team’s hard drive to the finished product you have before you now. Any errors or omissions remain, of course, entirely the responsibility of the editing team. IRW Mike Mortimore Sadly I was never taught by Mike, but my first close encounter with him was when Desmond Charlton used to regularly invite him to the CCF Adventure Training Camp in the Lake District – a little place called Lorton near Keswick. This took place during half-term holiday in the summer term. Cadets slept in old army bivouac tents, Jack Hargreaves slept in the back of his Bedford van – EHDC called it the ‘tin tent’. Mike and other adults had slightly larger tents. There were no toilets only the woods. Mike would shave and comb his hair with the aid of the wing mirror on the landrover. He wore some enormous boots, a safari-type jacket and was topped off with a large tropical-type helmet. Lunch was always sandwiches and the only drink was a swig of metal-tasting water from a WW2 water bottle. Desmond made us walk up a peak each day and I was not a very fit 14 year old. My legs ached! Evening meal was heated-up army compo rations – everything came in tins. The top of the tins were pierced and then placed in boiling water heated by a gas stove. Jack Hargreaves then gripped the rim of the very hot tin with a pair of pliers and thrust it at you, where you had to be ready with your mess tin. Mike always made jovial remarks about being served his evening meal with a pair of pliers. After leaving school I continued to see Mike at countless OB functions and often gave 6 – Old Bridlingtonian Club him and Cynthia lifts to these. Latterly Mike kindly delivered some wonderful talks to our church group in Harpham. His talks on a wide variety of subjects, including some well- known Old Bridlingtonians, became an annual event. He was due to give us a talk and tour of his beloved church at Boynton, in June of this year. Unfortunately, this was not to be. God Bless you Mike, we will miss you. John F. Wresdell (64-72) Further tributes to Mike Mortimore I was very sorry to read of Mike Mortimore's death. Please give his family my condolences. Peter Adamczyk-Haswell (1950) I was very sad to hear of MJAM’s passing and so glad I had a last chance to speak to him recently at a reunion. He taught me History for my entire seven years at School and was my form master as well. In truth I owe my nearly 40-year career in archaeology to his teaching: for that and much more I will forever be grateful to him, and to Bridlington School. Trevor Brigham (70-77) So sad to hear about Mike. He never taught me but always had my greatest respect for what he did for the school and the OBs. Please pass on my regards to his family for his tenacity and legacy. David Browning (66-73) Sad news. He was revered by many and will be sorely missed by all. Andrew Calvert (57-63) I have just received the OB email about the reunion in France, and with it the sad news of the death of Mike Mortimore. Mike was the teacher that I knew best from my three years at Brid School (62-65). Later, I went to his old college at Oxford to study history, and I owe it not only to his teaching but also his personal encouragement that I even considered applying there: I will always be very grateful to him. We kept in touch for a few years and I came across him again later in the ‘80s when I lived in Scarborough. And I’ve always enjoyed what he has had to say in the OB magazine. Ted Crofton (62-65) Old Bridlingtonian Club – 7 I’ve just read your very sad note about Mike Mortimore. What a great shame. He was a lovely man for whom I had a lot of time. He was my form teacher in, I think, form 3. I came across him quite a lot more recently since we were both involved in the Bridlington Talking Newspaper. Please pass on my condolences to Cynthia and the rest of his family. Stephen Davison (65-72) It was a pleasure to work with Mike on the production of the OB magazine during the last 10 years and I looked forward to his visits to our Driffield office immensely. We always had such interesting conversations, particularly on the subject of grammar and the demise of the apostrophe! He is truly missed. Sarah Dove, Positive Action Publications Ltd A great sadness for a wonderful man, who was and will continue to be a great inspiration for so many. David Evans (66-73) Very sorry to hear of the death of Mike Mortimore. He made such an excellent job of editing the Old Bridlingtonian that he will be hard to replace. He arrived at the school just as I was leaving and as the school has gone through its ups and downs and really become totally transformed in recent years, he has been a reminder of those earlier grammar school days. Like others on the staff, he was a breath of air from the south [not to disparage we northerners] and I hope that his widow, whom I believe came from the leafy environment of Windsor, will have support from Bridlington friends as well as the OB Club. John Metcalfe (49-57) Firstly, I would like to say how sorry I am to hear that Mr M.J.A. Mortimore has died. Now that he is sadly no longer with us, I feel I can safely begin a sentence with ‘firstly’. Over 50 years ago I presented him with what I thought was a well-written history essay which fell at the first fence. He pulled me up for writing ‘firstly’, rather than ‘first’ in the sequence of points I was making. “Spurr,” he said, “‘firstly’ (which he’d underlined in red) is bad English. You must always use ‘first’ then ‘secondly’ and ‘thirdly’ and so on.” I got no further in history than an O Level, although I’ve had a lifelong interest in the subject, and I chair an all-Ulster history body here in Ireland. The history ‘Jammy’ was obliged to teach us was too ‘political’ for me. I preferred the more social sort – what people were eating, wearing, reading, building, singing, and writing, rather than what kings and lawmakers were doing.

  • The WOLDSMAN
    The WOLDSMAN DRUFC Newsletter Apr 2016 Only 3 games left for the 1 st xv, Morley (h), Alnwick (a) & Morpeth (h). 3 teams in the top half of the table, (Morley 2 nd, Alnwick 3 rd & Morpeth 6 th ), and 3 teams we have not beaten in league so far. The only team to do the double over us this far is Phoenix, hopefully it will stay like that come 5pm 23 April. 4th place in the league is a possibility, with 8 points between us and 4th place Dinnington that’s our aim. I have enjoyed this season, I think we have played well, mostly; however, we have had a couple of off days too. The draw at Beverley, one of the latter. The team has certainly improved throughout the year, we have brought some very talented young lads into the squad, who have all settled in well, and performed above expected. Looking to next season, the league appears to be getting stronger again, at the bottom we will lose, Bev, Westoe & 1 of either Wheatley or Northern, at the top, Doncaster Phoenix continue their march to National leagues, whilst Morley will most likely play away at Kirby Lonsdale in the East / West Play off. Joining the league will be Bradford & bingley from Yorkshire 1, Durham City have an 8 point over Middlesborough In D &N1, that will mean Malton & Middlesborough will play off at the moment at Middlesborough. Coming down will be 1 of Cleckheaton or Huddersdfield YMCA. It is still a bit early to start calling it yet, but I think we could be making a trip across the pennies again, we will see.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
