SAILING MEMOIR
I'm collecting personal memoirs from friends and colleagues who knew my parents from all areas of their life to build into a book as a tribute to them and as a social history.
I've had around 35 back so far but WYC and the sailing days haven't really been covered yet, so it would be lovely if you would like to contribute your memoir to the collection.
Remember, this is all about your life and how you came to know Brian and Maggie Bottomley.
As a general rule of thumb, the more detail you put in, the more interesting it is to read.
I'll just give you a few prompts if you don't mind as areas to include if helpful.
I would talk about how you first discovered/came to be in Whitby, your roots, what did your parents and you do?
An overview of the sailing at that time in Whitby before the Marina was built.
How did the fisherman take to having yachts moored next to trawlers?
WYC- what it was like before the refurbishment....old school etc.
How you first met Brian and Maggie
Where did you sail to/race?
What kind of boat/s did you have over the years?
Who were the characters and personalities around in those days?
Commodores, sail past, Regatta, social events etc.
Keith Shellenberg- buying the Whitehall Shipyard- turning it into a club- what was it like?
What was he like? How was he perceived in Whitby?
60's/70's developments in small yachts, improved materials -extrusion plastics that could be injection moulded to form one piece boats and fibre glass hulls- making sailing more affordable for first time?
I believe Dad first came to Whitby as a single man to sail? His boats were Solitude, Windsbraut and Cariad (ecume der Mer) and one was an old wooden Folk Boat?
A portrait of Brian and Maggie, what were they like? any personal anecdotes, working habits etc. They developed several properties together before buying The Mount c.1973 and turning it into an Antique shop -stone cottages at Egton and bought Kirby's Hotel; if you know anything about that it would be interesting. The Mount closed October 1994 after mum died.
Their home the Old Hall, Boghall.
I would bring the story up to date of change in sailing yachts, and post marina new generation of sailors- high tech- satellite navigation etc. How Whitby has changed since then and WYC and what you went on to do.
I'd include any old photos of you and the Bottomley’s in your text and anything else you feel pertinent
Many thanks and look forward to having your memoir emailed/posted in your own time.

Marina Parking
All Members
I received this message at the weekend from Lesley in the Harbour Office. Scarborough Borough Council are insisting that all correspondence regarding car parking fees must now be posted to the Head of Tourism and Culture. They have extended the deadline for objections to their proposal to 1st Feb.
"Any objection to the proposed Order must include a statement of the ground(s) upon which it is based and must be submitted in writing so as to reach the Head of Tourism and Culture, Town Hall, St. Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG, no later than first post on Monday 1 February 2012."
