COUNTY COUNCILLOR JOHN BLACKBURN WRITE Since I wrote my last article for the Parish News, my life has taken on a major change. As many of you will know I have been elected to the position of Mayor of The Borough of Scar- borough and this is indeed a great honour. There has been a Mayor of Scarborough since 1836. He/She is the first citizen of the Borough, the Queens representative in the Borough and the Chairman of the Council. I am delighted that this year the Mayor is a resident of the Southern Area of the Borough, and as the County Councillor for the Hertford & Cayton Division I hope to be able to attend at least one official function in each village. I will of course continue to represent Folkton and Flixton as your County Councillor. There is no doubt that being Mayor takes over your life. The Mayor acts as an ambassador for the area, working to promote the Borough within and outside the area. Thus having both a democratic and ceremonial role to perform in the Council and the Borough. Vital to Any Mayor is the support of the Mayores or Consort and my wife Jackie and I will have attended over 150 engage- ments by the time you receive this Parish News. We do not choose were we go, we go were we are requested, but we enjoy the experience of meeting lots of people at many varied events.The Mayoress' also has the responsibility of Chairing her community fund which raises money for many local organi- sations during the year. As I have already said our engagements are many and varied, and it is not always the high profile events that we enjoy the most. I particularly enjoy visiting schools as Mayor and also showing some of them around the Town Hall. I am particularly looking forward to hosting the children from Hunmanby School gardening club, following their success as the top mvbn school in Yorkshire in Bloom. Our first engagement was the 80th anniversary of the miniature railway and I particularly enjoyed performing the opening ceremony at the smallest pub in Yorkshire by pulling the first pint and drinking it. Armed Forces Day was a very memorable occasion as was our visit to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Every Mayor is expected to have a theme for his or her year and this year I have chosen to have two, those being Sport and Happiness. With regard to sport, I am keen to see improved facilities were necessary throughout the Borough. Naturally I am keen to see progress with the new sports vil- lage and in particular the new football stadium. I recently visited the KC stadium in Hull, together with officers from the council and directors of Scarborough Athletic football club. The object of the visit was to learn how the council, the foot- ball club and rugby league club had worked together on their project, and I was particularly keen to learn more about their hybrid pitch, which in my opinion is just what we need in our new stadium I have received a request for a running track and I have already made enquiries regarding land and fund- ing for such a venture. It is my opinion that facilities for ath- letics are lacking in Scarborough. I have also visited the swimming pool to discuss our plans for a new pool in Scar- borough. I am keen to meet with anybody who wishes to dis- cuss the provision of sports facilities in the Borough. Being Mayor and Mayor’s is hard work, but it is enjoyable. People are always pleased to see us, and in my opinion it is vital to bring a little happiness into people lives. Yes being Mayor has a serious side to it but if we can have a laugh with the many people we meet it is so much more rewarding. Well that is it for now. 5 months down and 7 to go, many more engagements, lots more people to meet and functions to per- form, I cant wait.

FOLKTON AND FLIXTON CRICKET CLUB

The 2011 season was another successful one for the cricket club. The pre- season started ominously with a burst pipe causing much damage, and thanks must go to all the members who worked very hard to ensure the pavilion was ready in time for the first games. On the field, the highlight for the senior teams was the promotion as champions of the 2nd XI back to the Beckett Premier League. The first XI had a nail biting finish to the season when they secured their position in the York Senior League First Division on the very last day. Congratu- lations must go to the 3rd XI who maintained their league position whilst fielding many young (and one or two not so young!) players. The junior section continues to go from strength to strength. There are now over 40 juniors with the club field- ing teams in the Under 15’s and Under 11’s leagues. The club has 4 qualified coaches and offers a safe environment for boys and girls of all abilities to learn and enjoy the game. If anyone wishes to join for the 2012 season please contact the secretary. A measure of the juniors success is in the number of players now playing representative cricket for The Scarborough & District, North Yorkshire and also Yorkshire Schools. Well done to all. The club has also hosted a number of functions including birthday parties and christenings and is available for use by non-members.

At the time the decision was made not to go in for Yorkshire in Bloom there were mixed feelings about this being the right thing to do , however due to illness and family commitments that people in the group have had to deal with it turned out to be the right decision. After all that has happened I do feel that the Village displays have not suffered for most of the year. The beds, tube and wildlife area have all looked fantastic and comments of how well Since our A.G.M. in September we are hopefully back on track and although we have lost members we have also gained new members but there is always room for more people to join us. It doesn’t have to be on a regular basis just if you could give a hand occasionally would help. We have no age restrictions has jobs can be found for young as well as mature people. So if you would like to help keep our villages looking their best please get in touch with me or any member of the Bloom Group. Our next meeting is Tuesday 15th. November at 7 : 30 p.m. At the Foxhound Inn. All are welcome to come to this meeting.
