Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone, as Charles Dickens used to say.
I think our Scalby Fair Committee members will agree that year 2019 was a pretty good one where we have put in a lot of hard work, enjoyed ourselves and restored our bank balances. On the downside we have lost two doughty members in Sally and Jenny but, on the upside, they will both still be at Scalby Fair itself. Well done, ladies.
The Nag’s Head remains a problem for us because it’s closed for urgent repairs and renewals and will not reopen until Saturday, 18 January 2020. However the new tenant, one Richard Durham, is keen to take on a new lease and has already put up his window boxes! He is also very keen to continue the excellent relationship that The Fair has always enjoyed with all the landlords on The Nag’s over the last 42 years
The first casualty of the closure was the Christmas tree which Scalby Fair usually erect. This was never going to happen this year because we do not have insurance nor an electricity supply.
The first Fair committee meeting of the New Year will be held at 11am on Sunday 12 January and the venue is The Temperance Hall where we can have a little look around before the meeting.
Best wishes
Tom Cathcart
Chairman
Scalby Fair Committee
