JULY 2011 

IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN: 

15 th ANNUAL BARTON BIKE NIGHT – 

Members of Lindsey Relay & Barton Bike Night Committee 

WEDNESDAY, 6 th 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.

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

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.

Baysgarth Specialist Technology College 

A Gleeful Experience! 

A Comical Day! 

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 

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!

Sutherland 

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

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 29 th 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.

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 Week 1 heralded its 14 th year of cultural 

events, this year between 25 th June and 2 nd July, with a 

May pre-sale of tickets at Wilderspin National School 2 . 

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 Scribes 3 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 Band 4 . 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. 

Mayor & Mayoress of Barton, Councillor Dorothy Pearson & 

Maureen Grindley accompanied by Stuart Garfoot 

We were also supported with by other helpful local 

people and traders. Local Independent Celebrant, Phil 

Spicksley 5 , 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 Week 6 . 

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”.

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 

3 rd 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 31 st 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 14 th and Saturday 15 th 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 7 th 

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 14 th 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 2 nd 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 

contacted c/o Kimberly-Clark of Falkland Way DN18 5AZ

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.
