The main event this year was staged in memory of the local artist J Ulric Walmsley who spent a lifetime painting portraits, landscapes and picture postcards in his home village of Robin Hood's Bay and beyond, still working well into his nineties. Fylingdales Village Hall was adorned for the Saturday event with displays of his life and times, with prints of dozens of his works of art on show and a live demonstration of how to create such paintings by Charles Evans, an artist well known for his television appearances and painting courses, who had travelled from Northumberland for the day. In the evening members and guests were entertained with a lantern slide show presented by Robin Lidster, depicting events in old 'Bay going back to Victorian times. As a finale Robin projected a selection from his collection of rare mechanical slides which enthralled audiences long before the advent of films and television.
On the Sunday morning the sun shone for the traditional walk, this year's being an exploration of Fylingthorpe. Local historian Janet Green guided a large group through the village, painting a colourful word picture of the surprising history of this now quiet spot.
