THE FISH IS DONE!
Bay’s famous “Fish” collecting box
for the RNLI is back in place on the Slipway after extensive refurbishment by the National Park and is now complete with refurbished illustrated plaque, thanks to local artist
Bill Wedgwood.
POTASH CONFIRMED: Preliminary results from the drilling at the York Potash site at Pasture Beck between Robin Hood’s Bay and Hawsker revealed “one of the world’s single thickest potash intersections ever reported”.
Samples from the drill found that there was 81.8m of potash mineralisation across the three seams.
Chris Fraser, CEO of Sirius Minerals PLC said “Although preliminary, these are fantastic results. The confirmation of all three seams in exceptional thickness is a validation of the world-class status of the project.”
Popular Shanty Group MONKEYS FIST (and friends) singing in The Dock,
Robin Hoods Bay, raising funds for the RNLI.
This year they raised the amazing total of £448 for the Lifeboat Charity.
NEW LIBRARY VAN FOR BAY
The new super-mobile Library Van visits Robin Hoods Bay fortnightly on Mondays from 10 am to 12 noon.

GAS RIG INSTALLED: Work has been completed on a £1 billion development that will drill for gas just 37 miles off the coast of Robin Hood’s Bay. Breagh gas field in the North Sea is one of the largest finds of the natural resource in recent years and, now that the offshore platform has been installed, the field remains on course with RWE Dea UK’s plans to achieve gas from the site as early as July 2012.
