IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN:
15th
ANNUAL BARTON BIKE NIGHT –
WEDNESDAY, 6th
JULY, 2011 - 5 to 10pm
The voluntary members of the committee are well
underway in organising one of the biggest Bike Nights in
Europe – Barton‘s own amazing and unique annual
community event, based on the same successful format as
in previous years with visitors attending from around the
country and overseas.
We have funding from Barton Town Council and our
main commercial sponsor is Lindsey Relay Euronics. We
thank and welcome them together with The Wheatsheaf
Pub, and D. Farr Electrical, as well as marshalling from
Barton Lions, Rotary, and local residents. Several of the
local pubs will have live bands playing to keep you and
our visitors entertained with the town‘s array of food
outlets once again well stocked and open late to take
advantage of the welcome influx of visitors and revenue.
The comprehensive Management and Safety plan for the
night, produced by specialist company Eventsafe of
Lincoln which will take care of all the safety issues for
the event, has been submitted to North Lincolnshire
Council Public Safety Group for approval, along with the
application for the town centre road closure to the
Highways department. St. John Ambulance will once
again be taking care of all First Aid issues.
North Lincolnshire Classic MC are providing some live
action, staging the very popular Trials Display in the
Cottage Lane car park along with static displays from
LPE Kawasaki Motocross and many trade stands selling
motorcycle related products around the town.
The High Street will host a Custom Bike Show organised
by Barton‘s own chopper builder Shaun Barley. Around
the corner for this year the Queen Street area has been
extended to accommodate more classic/vintage bikes and
includes the Victorian Wilderspin National School open
for visitors and providing extra space for motorcycles and
crash helmet parking. The Town Mayor will be judging
and presenting the trophy for Best Classic Bike in the
show. Lifelong motorcycle enthusiasts and great
supporters of the event, John & Lesley Andrews, will be
looking after the Vintage MC Club and Classic bike
visitors as well as showing several of their own
motorcycles.
Once again the organisers are expecting the town to be
full of all types and makes of bikes from Sports, Tourers,
Custom, Cruisers, Trikes, Scooters down to the odd
strange looking vehicle which the event seems to attract
each year.
Ducati UK will be bringing their Road Show and about
12 ride out bikes, St. Leger Harley Davidson, Honda,
Quads, Clothing and various food stalls.
We are looking forward to a great night so please come
along and enjoy this free Community Event run by
volunteers in our town.
Barrie Newton - Bike Night Committee Chairman.

Performance in the Park 2011
Live children’s theatre at its best can be found once again in Baysgarth Park this summer thanks to the town’s
Tourism Partnership.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the three performances will be the return of Illyria with another Roald Dahl classic,
Fantastic Mr Fox.
Who can forget last year’s Illyria’s performance of James and the Giant Peach? This year, on Sunday August 21, Illyria will be telling the tale of Fantastic Mr Fox who pits his wits against three farmers. Even though you might
have seen the blockbuster film what better way to spend a summer’s afternoon with a picnic enjoying live theatre which is suitable for those aged five years and over!
The first event is on Sunday, July 17, with The Storytellers Theatre Company performing the traditional fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel.
This fabulous production contains everything – music, song and drama –with a comic slant and children will surely be entertained at the sight of the children’s mother with her vast circumference of 200 inches and their rather short sighted father.
Bash Street Theatre returns to the Park with its performance of Cliffhanger on Sunday August 14.
With falling buildings, dare-devil escapology, slap-stick humour and live piano accompaniment, CLIFFHANGER! is a 50-minute long, silent-movie style production that returns to the golden age of the silver screen. Inspired by Buster Keaton’s short film ‘Convict 13’, it follows the fortunes of a love-sick café waiter as he becomes innocently embroiled
in a prison escape.
All the performances begin at 2pm and all are free although donations are welcome.
The Performance in the Park season is supported by Barton Town Council, South Humber Collection and Barton Lions. Bring along a chair, a picnic and enjoy live performance in the beautiful surroundings of the park.

Unauthorised signs are a hazard In Barton there are a number of locations where unauthorised signs are displayed on a regular basis. Not only do these signs make the town look untidy but they also pose a distraction and compromise road safety. Working with Barton Town Council, North Lincolnshire Council wishes to discourage the placement of such signage and would make the following statement:- It is illegal to put any sign, posters, banners or advertising boards on the highway which have not been authorised by North Lincolnshire Council. The Council has a policy to remove unauthorised signs from the roadside in accordance with Section 132 of the Highways Act and will do so if they are considered to be a potential hazard to highway users, a hazardous distraction or are obstructing the highway or visibility. The Highway Authority also has discretionary powers under the Highways Act 1980 to prosecute offenders. If you wish to report a sign, poster, banner or advertising board which you consider may be unauthorised, please contact North Lincolnshire Council Highways on 01724 297000.
Garden Talk
Having been watching Chelsea Flower Show, the overall colour
trend seems to be green. We
don’t usually try to follow the trend, but it would appear that this year we may well be doing so. I think by the time
our Wells next the Sea garden is due to open at the end of
June, most of the flowers will have gone over. Sadly we
don’t have large cold stores to keep our plants in like the Chelsea designers. Perhaps the brown lawn will catch on.
We have taken a leaf out of the Chelsea designers’ book when it comes to our tropical border. Having lost and had
several large plants cut back by the frost, we have used
plants in pots sunk into the soil. (Most plants at Chelsea
are in pots covered with compost or other medium to make them appear to be planted). We will then be able to move
the plants back under cover for winter. Baskets designed
for pond plants are ideal for sinking in the ground and lifting later in the year. They allow plants access to
moisture from the surrounding soil. You can also plant
them up with spring bulbs in the autumn and use them to
fill in any gaps in the border in the spring.
Each year we try and grow something different; this year
we are growing Sweet Potatoes ‘Beauregard’. They need warmth to develop so some are being grown in the
greenhouse border, others outside are planted through
black plastic, which will hopefully keep the soil warm. They are tuberous climbers, so will need a framework to
climb up. We are also growing Okra for the first time,
which is a member of the Mallow family. The leaves and
new shoots can be eaten fresh when picked young and tender and the unripe seed pods can also be used in the
same way.
For the last few years we have grown potatoes on the same
site, this is of course contrary to most advice which is normally to rotate crops. We found that potatoes did well,
and I believe that may be due to a build up of beneficial
mycorrhizae. These are beneficial soil fungi that have a
symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. However we decided to plant our seed potatoes in a different area this
year. We are growing ‘Axora’ and ‘Sarpo Mira’. They
were planted a bit late but my neighbour’s potatoes were cut back by an unexpected frost, ours have now caught up
and are doing well. The area where the potatoes were
grown previously was seeded with grass, unfortunately the
lack of rain has prevented most of it from germinating, the pigeons have enjoyed it though.
There is still time to sow a few dwarf and runner beans, hopefully they will crop before we have frost. Salad crops
can continue to be sown, we have been successive sowing
‘cut and come again’ mixed lettuce, which has performed well. However we have had to cover it with fleece
otherwise the pigeons would help themselves.
The flowering plant of the year was voted for during Chelsea, with a compact Anemone with white flowers and
a blue reverse to the petals narrowly winning. Saxifrage ‘
Annette Hope’ came second, with it’s clouds of white flowers. Third was Verbascum ‘Blue Lagoon’ which is a
new colour break. All these plants seem worth growing
and I look forward to seeing them become popular.
“I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, from the seas and the streams”.
(The Cloud P.B Shelley)
We could certainly do with some of that. Enjoy your garden

A Gleeful Experience!
Students at Baysgarth School recently entered a new Glee
Competition being organised by Vision for Education. The
event was designed to showcase the talent in schools
throughout North Lincolnshire and 7 of our local schools took
part. Open to all pupils in KS3 & KS4, the evening
performance was a knock out. Baysgarth sent 10 of its very
talented students under the group name of G-Bay (a play on
the words Glee, Ebay and Baysgarth). Mrs Jackson was
responsible for the dance element of the performance with
Mrs Guy working with the singers and musician in the group.
Our team comprised of Dancers: Soul Roberts, Emily Vint,
Emily Martinson, Alice Marlow, Heather Mason, Tilly
Needham and Chloe Pettit. Singers: Rebecca Hewitt and
Danielle Bullivent both in year 8, with the line-up completed
by Bethany Walton (year 11) who played the electric violin.
The group piece was the beautiful ‗Memory‘ from the musical
‗Cats‘ by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber. Although we were the
last school to perform on the night, as the saying goes ―we
saved the best till last!‖ Placed 2nd overall, Baysgarth was
delighted with the comments from the judges which included
―Great vocals and dance‖, ―What a way to finish! Very
together – great ballet‖, ―Immaculately staged, high dance
standard‖. We are looking forward to next year when we
hope to take part again as it was a highly enjoyable day and
our little stars certainly shone and did us proud!
Quantum Quality in Young Enterprise Final
Eight Y10 students have been diligently working on their
business project since September, successfully running their
own business, QQ, and turning a reasonable profit. They have
been selling recycled products. They recently progressed
through the heats, beating 14 other schools to be given a place
in the final 7 for the Humber region. The final, held in
Bridlington Spa, was on par with the Oscars and the team
presented in front of over 200 people.
They secured two awards; Best Presentation and Best
Objective Setting, Planning and Reviewing. Well done and
congratulations to Kerry Alliss, Carla Potter, Dominic Ryan,
Adam Wilson, Ruth Bollington, Sophie Anderson, Daniel
Young and Sam Wright.
A Comical Day!
Kev F Sutherland is a comedian, writer, producer and comic
artist whose comic strips appear in The Beano, Doctor Who
Adventures, Match and many more. Kev visited the school on
Friday 20th May to work with two groups of 30 students. By
the end of each session they produced a comic with a strip in
by each student. Each one took a copy home, along with a
caricature that Kev drew of everyone.
All the students who attended the sessions had a great time
and discovered that each and every one of them could draw.
Well done to you all!

HOW DO WE SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA
Following the success of BADAOS 2011 production ‘When The Lights go on again’, I am pleased to be able to announce that our next major production for 2012 will be ‘The Sound of Music’.
This will be the first time an amateur group has been able to perform the show in several years following the rights being obtained for the recent successful professional stage production. So as did
Lord Lloyd – Webber, BADAOS must now start the search for Maria. In addition we will also need to find the seven children, Captain Von Trapp and a whole host of nuns.
Auditions will take place in July. If you are interested in taking part in musical theatre what better time to come and join us. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings at 7.30.p.m. at Baysgarth School Hall.
At the time I write this we are busy rehearsing our summer show ‘The Sounds of the Beatles’
celebrating the music of the Fab Four. The Concert is to be held on 29th June 2011 at 7.30. at Baysgarth School Hall. For those of
you who came to see our ABBA concert last year you will not be disappointed Tickets are £6.00. I realise that this edition of The Bartonian may make this information last minute or indeed too late,
but you will get tickets on the door and if it is too late you will be able to enjoy BADAOS’ performance of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, in February next year.
Many thanks for your continuing support we look forward to entertaining you soon. D Phillips - BADAOS chairman

Autumn at Ropery Hall
Music, theatre and comedy – and a return of the anarchic Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet
Theatre Company – make the autumn programme at Ropery Hall one to look forward to as
the nights draw in.
A single August performance, by Chloe Hall and Silas Palmer, is the precursor of a mix of
live entertainment from September to December.
September’s highlights include North Country Theatre’s adaptation of D H Lawrence’s The
Rocking Horse Winner, a chance to see a rare solo performance by Aynsley Lister, the
farewell tour of The Hamsters and, together for the first time in three years, Collister, Kelly
& Filleul.
October looks to be a star-packed month with, amongst others appearing, will be those two
mad Scottish puppets, stand up comedian, writer and actress Jo Caulfield, award winning
singer Beverley Craven and former member of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Neil Innes.
In November Ropery Hall celebrates the wit and wisdom of Joyce Grenfell in a gem of
nostalgia from the golden age of revue. Those of a certain age will remember the lady
herself but those younger might remember Maureen Lipman’s one-woman show: Re-Joyce.
Full details of all the events can be found on www.roperyhall.co.uk

“We’ll Meet Again” A Promise Made for 2011 Barton Arts Week
Barton Arts Week1 heralded its 14th year of cultural events, this year between 25th June and 2nd July, with a May pre-sale of tickets at Wilderspin National School2. Welcoming refreshments were provided by Scholars, Wilderspin‟s newly appointed caterers, selected recorded music sounded all day, there was an impressive calligraphy exhibition from Lindsey Scribes3 and a secondhand book stall completed this regular annual event.
Later, at Queens, participants were in lively mood, entertained at a popular Nostalgia 1940s/50s Night listening and dancing to the spectacular Shiny Stockings Swing Band4. Paula Baldwin held listeners spellbound as she knowledgably introduced her energetic and talented eight musicians who played much loved Glenn Miller tunes under the baton of musical director, Major (Ret.) Paul Murrell. Talented singers, Tony Orme, Sara Blair Manning and Christine Scott, brought Frank Sinatra, the Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee and Vera Lynn into the room. And vintage dance troupe, Jump Jive Alive, demonstrated swing jive and rock n roll routines.
The evening began with a wartime blackout and the eeriness of a World War 11 air raid siren followed by the voice of Winston Churchill. A full audience, many wearing authentic period costumes (one even sporting a German uniform, perhaps for inclusivity reasons!) celebrated two decades of song, lifting every heart as in years gone by. The dance floor was soon packed with young and old alike, joining in the Barn Dance, the Gay Gordons and the Veleta as well as some lively rock n roll and the Twist. Indeed, prizes were dished out in an old fashioned Spot Dance and Partners‟ Angela France received an award from the Town Mayor for being best dressed in true 40‟s elegance.
Barton Town Council generously supports Barton Arts Week with grant aid so the official attendance of Barton‟s Mayor, Dorothy Pearson, accompanied by Mayoress, Maureen Grindley was greatly appreciated. Singer Tony
Orme at one stage was seen to croon romantically „Nancy With The Laughing Face‟ to her. Our Mayor‟s reply is not recorded! Sara Blair Manning and Christine Scott dazzled everyone with their spectacular gowns as their Andrews Sisters songs raised cheer after cheer.
We were also supported with by other helpful local people and traders. Local Independent Celebrant, Phil Spicksley5, lent his talent to the event as MC, thanking event sponsors TC Power as well as Barton Town Council and Arts Week‟s general sponsors, Barton Lions and Smith & Walker Optometrists for their generosity. Prizes were donated by Barton‟s Crisp „n Fresh, The Knitting Box and Photo Express towards a successful fund raising successful raffle. Barton Arts Week is supported by public subscription. Membership is £10 per year (contact Ursula Vickerton 01652 632739).
The event did not forget the inner man and lady, Barton „Culinary‟ Arts providing a robust mid evening locally provided traditional meal of R D Newton‟s succulent steak pies accompanied by Humber Fisheries‟ mushy peas and flavoursome gravy both generously served courtesy of welcoming efficient staff at Queens and Wendy Spencer of Handel House. Trish Koshy will have left Queens by the time this article appears to enjoy a well earned career break so we all wish her well.
The evening ended later to rousing verses of Rule Britannia; flags were waved; the spirit of VE day was recaptured as everyone raised glasses to a successful 2011 Arts Week6.
Tim Phipps from Owmby, who was accompanied to the event by his wife and enthusiastic teenage son, was overheard to describe the night as „a triumph‟. Reflecting on calls for a further Nostalgia Night later in the year, Barton Arts Chair, Penny Phillips said “This may well be a possibility from the demand shown. We have been particularly pleased Barton Arts drew in visitors from Lincoln, Brigg, Scunthorpe as well as Barton”. 1 Barton Arts Week is a Charity No 1121736 2 www.wilderspinschool.org.uk 3 Lindsey Scribes meet in Louth.

Victorian Day – Sunday July 31
Members of Barton’s Civic Society are reprising their popular Victorian Day on Sunday July 31 when, from 11am to 4pm, Queen Street will be crowded with characters from the Victorian age.
Come along and soak up the atmosphere, experience comic street theatre, dramatic monologues, children’s games and activities, vintage cycles, Victorian lessons, have your photo taken with Barton’s Strong Man or simply watch Barton pass you by from the seat of a horse drawn carriage.
There will be stalls promoting wares from local charity groups and refreshments in the beautiful gardens of 8 Queen Street while the Wilderspin National School will provide the backdrop to the day’s entertainment.
This will be the fourth time that the Society has organised a Victorian Day and it has been meticulously planned by members of the Heritage sub-committee.
Civic Society chairman Ian Wolseley said he believed the event would appeal to everyone.
Queen Street from its junction with Catherine Street to the Assembly Rooms will be closed to traffic from 10am but there is ample parking available on nearby streets and at the Cottage Lane car park which is only two minutes walk away.

SOUTH BANK PLAYERS NEWS The South Bank Players continue to go from strength to
strength with another successful play under their belts and several new members joining the group.
In April both the adult and the junior groups took part in the regional heat of the All England Theatre Festival, held at North Ferriby. The junior group came second in
the youth section with their play ‘Hit and Run’ by Chris Maybury. Carla Potter won best youth actress for her portrayal of wheelchair bound Gwen – a well deserved
accolade for this talented youngster, whilst George Thompson and Bradley Campion both received nominations for best youth actor for their parts in the
same play.
The adult group performed the comedy ‘Last Tango in
Barton’ by David Tristram which followed an amateur theatre group of dwindling membership as they tried to get ‘bums on seats’ using the well known premise that
‘sex sells’! All four actors in this play (Peter Swann, Jeanine Guy, Clare Curd and Alun Friend) received nominations for the best actor or actress award.
Both these plays were performed again at Ropery Hall and they went down very well with Barton audiences.
In May four members of the group were asked to take part in a ‘Museum’s at Night’ event at Baysgarth
Museum. The event was called ‘Meet the Ancestors’ and the actors played the parts of several characters from different periods of Baysgarth House’s history. Alun
Friend played Sir Henry Nelthorpe who was responsible for building part of the house; Jamie Ward Played Stanbury Taylor, an officer killed in the First World War
(the museum has a collection of letters between him and his mother); Liz Drury played a Red Cross Nurse who worked at the house when it became an emergency
centre during the Second World War; and Callum Oldridge played a pupil from the period when the house
was used as part of Barton Grammar School. The evening was a great success and we hope to be able to repeat it again in future.
Our next performances will be by the junior groups on 3rd July when they will put on two short plays at Ropery
Hall for friends and family.
Once again we will be having our annual awards evening
in July at which we will congratulate those youngsters who have shown the most promise this year, and thank all the people who help to make our group a success.
Look out for us at Victorian Day on 31st July – we shall be out and about in costume, and our junior group will
be putting on a display of Maypole Dancing.
Finally – some dates for your diaries. The next play by
the adult group will be ‘One o’ Clock From the House’, a comedy by Frank Vickery: Miriam, Margaret and Maureen are devastated by the
death of their father....... At least, they would be, if they weren't scheming and squabbling over arrangements for the funeral, what to do with their "non-compos mentis"
sister Mavis, and over who will inherit the house! However, their dead father has one last comic card to play up his sleeve, and sibling rivalry suddenly becomes
all-out sibling warfare...... Friday 14th and Saturday 15th October 7.30pm at Ropery
Hall, Barton. Tickets £5/£4 from the Ropewalk 01652 660380 or Dennis Bloor on 01469 531003.
The next Ghost Walk season will start on Halloween at 7.30pm from Baysgarth Museum. Tickets £4/£3 available
in advance from Dennis or on the night. Advance booking recommended.
For further information about the South Bank Players contact Dennis Bloor on 01469 531003. New members
are always welcome!

Central Surgery
Barton-upon-Humber
Patient Forum
The Patient Forum has been in existence for
over a year.
We have attempted to meet every two months
during that time and have discussed a wide
range of issues and attempted to garner
advice and opinions from the patients who use
Central Surgery. We have advertised our
presence in the local press and a variety of
community newsletters. For a time we had
news of our existence attached to prescriptions
from Boots, Lloyds and the pharmacy at the
surgery. A suggestion box has been placed in
the surgery and over a period of a week
members of the Forum also conducted
interviews with patients attending the surgery.
(There is also a NHS website where patients
may express their views.)
We have examined regional and national
statistics and compared the figures with those
available for our own practice. We have
discussed the cleaning of the surgery and the
possible health risks posed by magazines and
toys in the surgery. We have suggested a
clearer signage so that more patients can avail
themselves of the hand-washing gel that is
available near the entrance to building.
The biggest topic of discussion has been the
appointment system. We have had more
feedback on this subject than any other. The
Practice is committed to providing the best
possible service and to this end a number of
changes have occurred. There is now new and
more efficient computer system. Patients who
telephone in are now put into a queue and a s
soon as a receptionist is available the calls will
be answered. There are now some
appointments which can be booked in
advance and some that are available outside
“normal hours”. If you wish to book an advance
appointment there is no need to telephone at
eight o’clock.
The doctors are still concerned about the
number of people who make appointments
and fail to attend. The number of missed
appointments is advertised in the surgery. In
October, for example, there were 116
appointments missed. This roughly equates to
three working days for one of the doctors.
We have been kept informed of the progress
regarding the new surgery at Goxhill which was
opened in November. There is a doctor and
nurse there every weekday and prescriptions
will be available on the premises. A trial is being
conducted for patients living in Barrow who
wish to have their medicines delivered to their
homes. This can be done as long as someone is
at home to receive the medication. It is now
possible for all patients to book their repeat
prescriptions by e-mail.
We have had a number of patients contact us
and those who could be identified received
feedback. Members of the Forum have
attended two meetings of the Barton Senior
Alliance in order to keep them informed of
what is happening. If there are any other
community groups who would like us to attend
their meetings then please get in touch.
In an attempt to improve our representation we
have recently expanded our membership to
include a Sixth Form student from Baysgarth
and a Parent Governor from one of the other
schools in the area.
If you wish to make contact then please write
to the Chairman, Patient Forum c/o Central
Surgery or place your comments in the
Suggestion Boxes which are to be found in the
two surgeries.

INDEPENDENT LIVING NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE
Do you enjoy working with people? If so, and you are available to offer your time in Barton and Brigg
then Independent Living North Lincolnshire’s befriending service can offer you a great opportunity. Befrienders are urgently required to help provide companionship and friendship to people who are often isolated and lonely.
By supporting vulnerable people to live independently you can offer a hugely rewarding service whilst gaining practical experience in a care setting.
All of us need someone to chat to from time to time a friendly face to have a natter to over a cuppa and a biscuit. Being able to accompany someone to the shops or an activity is invaluable to many people, so why not get involved and help out.
Volunteer befrienders will receive full training and have travelling expenses reimbursed as the role entails visiting people in their homes throughout Barton and Brigg. All successful applicants will require a full
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check before starting the role. You can volunteer as many hours as you are available on a flexible basis to fit in around your own commitments.
If you would like to find out more about this role and other volunteering opportunities with ILNL they are
hosting a volunteer recruitment morning at Baysgarth House Museum Caistor Road Barton on Sunday 7th
August 12 noon to 2.00pm. Alternatively you can contact Pat Turner or Jane Glover on 01652 636208 or

Healthy Barton Commerce –
Essential for the Well-Being
of All
Barton Chamber of Trade and Industry held its AGM in May at
The Ropewalk and is now in its 14th year. A wealth of critical
information, fellowship, legal and other advice is available to
Barton members through affiliation to the Hull and Humber
Chamber whose size confers those extras.
During the past year, the Chamber helped fund the Barton
Shrink Map, assisted with George Street closure work making
way for Barton‘s Accredited Farmers‘ Market (now held
monthly, every 2nd Saturday) and supported the annual
Christmas Festival as well as featuring members in the annual
Barton Directory.
The Chamber has wide general concerns, one of which is that
Barton Town Centre is feeling the strain of a national
downturn. The footfall of shoppers appears more limited.
Although High Streets are vulnerable throughout the land and
probably will be for the next 10 years, the Chamber is
determined to work with all concerned to retain what is a
unique and valuable town centre delightfully virtually devoid
of national chains except for supermarkets.
Speaking with one united commercial voice, the Chamber
made oral and written objection to increased tolls to the
Humber Bridge Public enquiry. It was also keen to find ways
to protect local shops from vandalism, recognizing that whilst
the town CCTV, which Chamber partially funded, may serve to
apprehend repeat offenders, more prevention sadly appears
additionally desirable against mindless antisocial activities.
The Humber Bridge Industrial Estate on Falkland Way shows
some encouraging signs of healthy trading amongst more
substantial units including Kimberly-Clark and T C Power. As
an example, Chamber Member, Regal Fish, formerly a feature
on the High Street, is now fully ensconced on Ardent Road
after the disastrous fire just before Christmas Festival 2009.
Encouragingly 24 High Street is now being refurbished. We
are, of course, delighted the landmark, the George Hotel will
also be improved by October 2011 and that some of our
principal town roads are due to be resurfaced by North
Lincolnshire Council in September.
The Chamber meets regularly on the second Tuesday of each
month. In addition to the vital business of the day, members
also enjoyed visits to the Humber Bridge and its anchorage
point, Kimberly-Clark and the excellent Next Step/Carlton
Education 7 Enterprise Ltd on Fleetgate. The latter provides
many critical services including computer, cycle and laundry
services as well as a help and encouragement to employment.
Inspired by that visit, the Chamber is now taking the initiative
to encourage young people in the commercial life of the town
and this is being pursued in conjunction with support from
Baysgarth School. Any business with genuine work experience
facilities should contact Next Step at 31, Fleetgate 01652
637489.
Chamber‘s objectives naturally include representing the area‘s
businesses whose prosperity is essential for the well-being of
all as part of a self- supportive healthy town. With an eye to
this, Chamber is also looking wider in order to keep pace with
the area‘s present and future development, seeking to explore
any benefits to a Local Enterprise Partnership and Humber
Bridge possible initiatives may provide.
The outlook for the year is of an increased and active
membership so if there are commercial outlets that have not
joined, they will be very welcome. Please speak to the
Chamber Worker, details below.
Finally and happily, we congratulate one of our founding
members and treasurer, Keith Vickers in becoming the Mayor
of North Lincolnshire 2011/12.
Barton Chamber and its worker, Vicky Vickers, may be

BARTON ROTARY CLUB
Children from Barton Castledyke and South Ferriby schools have been busy filling Rotary Shoeboxes to be
distributed by Rotary volunteers to children in Eastern Europe. Barton Rotary Club members took them across the river to Hull, from where special transport, driven by
the volunteers, delivers them to the very deprived children. It is hoped that other schools in the Barton area will take part in this project in the Autumn. In the picture, are pupils of Castledyke Primary School with their
boxes.
The 2,000 LifeStraws, through which dirty water is sucked and cleaned, sent by Barton Rotary Club, arrived in
Cucuta, Colombia and were immediately distributed to children in the flood devastated areas by local Rotarians.
Also, working with Cucuta Rotary Clubs, Barton, Louth and Grimsby St James Rotary Clubs are helping to pay for equipping a Dental Surgery in a hospital for very poor
people which will be run by volunteer dentists who are Rotarians.
In the same town, we have also provided furniture and
equipment for a school and also a special needs school being refurbished by Rotarians and members of Rotaract. Special grants from the Rotary Foundation charity help with the cost.
£5,000 has been raised, partly with a sponsored walk, to provide a very handicapped teenager with a specially designed electric wheelchair. She has recently taken her A Levels and is planning to study at Lincoln University after the Summer holidays.
In July, all of the children leaving primary schools in Barton and the villages will be presented with a large illustrated dictionary to help with their move to senior education. These have been very popular over the past two years.
