A HEROES WELCOME - Friday, June 06, 2008

OPERA HOUSE CASINO IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ARMED FORCES AND HAS SIGNED UP TO THE "HEROES WELCOME" INITIATIVE, WHICH HAS RECENTLY BEEN LAUNCHED IN SCARBOROUGH.

SEE OUR "WHAT'S ON" SECTION FOR DETAILS OF HOW MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED FORCES CAN BENEFIT AT OPERA HOUSE CASINO.

Army, Royal Navy and RAF personnel, and veterans, will benefit from a new discount scheme at hotels, restaurants, and wide range of other businesses in the town.

The Heroes Welcome innovation demonstrates support for the armed forces, including the 8,500-strong Catterick Garrison, and for any service personnel who visit Scarborough on trips or holidays.

The scheme is supported by train operators First Trans-Pennine Express, Scarborough Council, Chamber of Trade, the Scarborough Hospitality Associ-ation – which includes hotels and bed and breakfast accommodation, as well as the town's Urban Renaissance Group, the Forum for Tourism, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, and the Scarborough Evening News.It was initiated by the South Bay Traders' Association.

Organisers hope businesses across Scarborough take part. They can also broaden their support by including veterans and the families of personnel who have been deployed on military operations.

To benefit, servicemen need to show their official identity card. Veterans can show a regimental association or British Legion membership card while service families should also display identification.

John Senior, chairman of the South Bay Traders' Association and co-ordinator of the scheme, said: "The national press has recently been dominated by stories regarding the treatment of our servicemen, some positive and some negative. The introduction of an Armed Forces Day provides an excellent opportunity for Scarborough to show its support in a direct and positive fashion."

OPERA HOUSE CASINO WINS BUILDING ACCOLADE - Friday, March 07, 2008

Opera House Casino has been named as the winner of the Best Non-Residential New Building Award in Scarborough Borough Council's building design awards competition.

More than 40 entries were submitted for the competition's four categories, which were best refurbisment/restoration scheme, best residential new building, best non residental new build and best shop front.

The competition, which started 10 years ago, is held every two years, and initially was confined to the town of Scarborough. But the interest in the competition meant it was extended to cover the whole of the borough outside the national park.

Scarborough Mayor Cllr Janet Jefferson, one of the judges, said: "It was a privilege to be part of the design award initiative. It was difficult to judge an outright winner and all the entries were commendable in their own right."

Nikolas Shaw, owner of the casino with his wife Becky, said: "We're delighted to have had this award bestowed upon us for the design of the casino and we would like to say a huge thank you to Ken Ferrie, managing director of KFB (Scarborough) Ltd and to the architects Frame International. We hope this will be the solid foundation with which to move forward into phase two of the development of North Street car park."

Out With The Old & In With The New! - Saturday, October 01, 2005

When the owners of Opera House Casino originally bought the site it was nothing more than derelict shell. In the years previous to the purchase it has suffered two fires and an underground spring had been left unpumped. This caused flooding to the area under stage and into the main stalls area - a rowing boat had to be used to get to the stage!

A specialist company was brought in to assess the safety of the structure but, sadly, their professional opinion was that the old building was unsafe and would have to be demolished. Being a listed building special permission had to be acquired. Once this was achieved, the long journey to redeveloping the site began.

After many months, the stunning new Opera House Casino finally opened its doors to the public on 25 October 2005.
