Don Robinson is a self-made businessman, an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. After National Service in the RAF he set up trampolines on Scarborough's beach. He 'launched' pirate radio ship 270. He brought Little Richard to Bridlington. He organised the first Charter flights between the UK and Las Vegas. In Scarborough he was involved in Flamingoland, Zoo and Marineland, Waterscene, It's a Knockout and Mr Marvel's Theme Park. Don took up wrestling then became a wrestling promoter. He bought and successfully ran Scarborough's Royal Opera House and became chairman of Scarborough Football Club and later, Hull City FC. He was President of Scarborough Cricket Club. Don was involved in the Live Aid Charity and, in London he owned Winston Churchill's Britain at War exhibition, and the London Dungeon. When Bulgaria left the Eastern Bloc he was one of the first western businessmen to knock on the country's door and negotiate new business. Don Robinson, now 80, is indeed a High Flier! |
