Patient Forum – Central Surgery
The Central Surgery now has a further two new Doctors. Doctor Rauf took up her duties on 1st September and Doctor Littlewood joined the practice on 29th October. There has also been the appointment of a new nurse, Sandra Cawood, who took up her duties on 11th October. In order to widen our representation we have asked a Sixth Form student from Baysgarth School to join us and we are seeking to recruit a Parent Governor from Bowmandale School. As a result of the questionnaire that was sent out to one thousand randomly selected patients some time ago we have asked three further people to join us. We had a great response to the request for volunteers and the choice of new members was, consequently, very difficult. We would like to publicly thank all those who took the trouble to write to us.
The Forum continues to meet every two months and if any patient wishes to raise an issue they can contact me through the Surgery. The Senior Partner, Dr Jaggs-Fowler and the Practice Manager, Mr Hunter attend all our meetings. We will attempt to provide feedback if the individual concerned gives us their contact details. If anonymity is requested then we will comply with
that request. Robert Lyden

BARTON CIVIC SOCIETY Barton Tourism Partnership sets out a stall every second Saturday of the month at the Farmers’ Market and passers-by sometimes stop to enquire what exactly Barton Civic Society is and what it does. A perfectly
reasonable enquiry, so what is the answer?
The purpose of the Society is to provide a focus for those concerned to ensure that Barton remains a pleasant and civilised place to live in: that what is best in the town is retained and properly cared for, and that new
development is sympathetic and in keeping with Barton`s character.
And what do we do? Among other things, we: recognize and encourage positive contributions to the town by
awarding `good marks`, `green marks` and annual awards and plaques; work with other bodies, including Barton Town Council, to help make improvements to the town`s environment (e.g. at the rail-bus interchange, the Beck, Fleetgate); carry out public works (e.g. tree planting); devise and publish town trails and walks; vet
planning applications; organize public talks (monthly at the Assembly Rooms); organize public events (e.g. Victorian Day); look after Barton's oldest house (51, Fleetgate), opening it to the public on at least twenty days a year, as well as to parties or individuals on request; organize an annual schools` competition; produce an annual
newsletter; maintain a website and keep it up to date with news of events.
While endeavouring to influence the policies of our unitary body, North Lincolnshire Council, we also recognize
that much of what happens in towns and cities in the land is determined by central government, and that a way needs to be found to make our voice heard there. To that end, it was decided at last July`s AGM that the Society join Civic Voice, a charitable trust that is an umbrella organization for all the nations` civic societies. The aims of
Civic Voice are broadly: to showcase local campaigns; to mount national campaigns based on local initiatives; to enable civic societies to share knowledge and expertise; to lobby ministers in order to promote the concerns of the organization, where appropriate in conjunction with other bodies, such as English Heritage and CPRE. We
feel that this wider dimension is particularly important at the present time, when the Government is determined to shake-up the planning system and seems intent on an apparently head-long drive to promote business at the expense of social and environmental considerations.
Perhaps this goes a little way to answering the questions posed by those who ask about the Society - and may even help allay doubts expressed by sceptics.

Winter Eye Check at Smith & Walker Optometrists We all know how important it is to maintain our cars in the extremes of Winter: lights, tyres, fluids etc. Just as importantly shouldn’t you MOT your eyes? As the nights draw in and the light becomes dimmer so many of us struggle with reading, or more importantly driving, street lighting and headlights all of a sudden seem to become more of an issue. Glare and dazzle, especially in wet rainy conditions is more apparent. Often we can be a little long or short sighted and not be aware and it is only in certain conditions, or critical distances, that we notice there is a problem. At Smith & Walker we are here to help. We offer a comprehensive Eye Examination checking both vision, and of course the eye health. We can offer re-assurance and advice whatever the outcome of the examination. Zeiss have been offering optical solutions for over a century and have always been at the forefront in lens design and have teamed up with Smith & Walker Optometrists to bring this latest technology to Barton upon Humber. LOTU TEC, an extremely tough hard anti- reflection coating can be the answer. This tremendous treatment has the added benefit of being water repellent, dirt repellent and oil repellent meaning your lenses stay clearer and cleaner longer and is designed specifically for night driving. Throughout October, November and December Zeiss have agreed to run a promotion with Smith & Walker Optometrists offering their LOTU TEC treatment free of charge on their lens range saving approximately £40.
For information, a demonstration or advice call into the High Street practice, or
telephone 01652 632315 or 01652 635397. Appointments are available
throughout the week and late on Monday evenings.

The Potty Panto Players had a very successful
"ComedyNite" and supper in May and raised the magnificent
sum of £855.17! This money (as usual) paid the rent for the
storage of scenery and has enabled the group to buy new
equipment in time for this year’s charity Pantomime.
Supporters of the popular panto group are well aware that
monies raised from their annual pantomime is always donated
to worthwhile causes. Past recipients have been Bowmandale
School, Fieldview Nursery, Candlelighters, Wish Upon A Star,
Goxhill School and always The Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
Following on the success of last years production "Knight
Fever" rehearsals are well under way for this years panto, the
ever popular "JACK AND THE BEANSTALK" by TLC
Creative. A tale of love, adventure and some magic beans!
A gruesome giant, a wicked witch, a fabulous fairy, a brave
hero, the obligatory village idiot and of course a cute and
cuddly cow help to make up the cast of this tried and tested
script, jam-packed with jokes, slapstick, gunge, and all the
magic of traditional pantomime with enough audience
participation to leave you hoarse by the end of the show. Oh yes
it will!
Tickets will be going on sale at the Lindsey Lodge Hospice
shop in Barton mid November and ever aware of the economic
climate the group are once again offering the family ticket
which proved to be a hit last year. For details of dates and
times etc be on the look out for the brightly coloured posters
around the towns and villages and of course the advertising
boards as you enter Barton.
The Potty Panto Players will be once again joining the Barton
Town Christmas Festival parade. They are easy to spot: they
are the noisy, singing, chanting, bizarrely dressed group tucked
in between the dogs and the reindeer poo cart!!...... Such is life!

Barton Upon Humber Allotment Society
Thanks to all you Bartonians the Horticultural Show was a
great success and the feedback from both the exhibitors and the
public was “see you next year”.
The quality and the amount of exhibits was outstanding after
the terrible weather we experienced this year.
I would like to thank all the Committee who helped on the day
especially our Treasurer and Secretary, Mrs Belinda Lant and
Miss Sandra Reed-Jennings, because the work they put into the
organising and printing of show cards, record sheets, marking
sheets and most importantly because of their efforts they were
able to pay out prize money on show day.
I seem to be saying a lot of thank yous so let’s not forget the
Lions, the Rotary, and our main sponsor Bakkavor Primebake
as well as most of all the local shops and stores who are going
through difficult times due to the current economic situation.
At the show, I was pleased to see a lot more plot holders
entered this year and more have promised next year, but the
downside was the lack of children from local schools and local
families, I do hope this improves next year even if it means
putting extra classes for them.
Down on the Allotments we are trying to step into the 21st
century by putting down hardcore on the central road so we are
more wheelchair and mobility scooter friendly.
I also hope at the AGM in January 2013 we can vote to make it
an all year round road for cars, which plotholders have been
after for years. The next big step is to make the site more
secure as we have had a little more vandalism than usual this
year.
The weather has been a little up and down this year and when I
harvested my crops I didn’t think it had been as bad as some
people thought, with cabbages, cauliflowers, broad beans,
runner beans, peas, beetroot, blackcurrants, gooseberries and
raspberries, not forgetting my rhubarb of which there has been
an abundance. The marrows and squashes are just a little late
but plenty of them.
Now starts the hard work of turning over the soil for next
year’s crops so if you were a little unfit before you will soon
feel the benefits as my wife keeps telling me. Many plotholders
sow green manure for example: mustard, which can be dug in
before flowering. This puts all the nutrients back into the soil
you need for a good crop next year.
On September 13th the Town Council invited 2 members of the
Allotment Committee to the presentation evening of the Best
Kept Gardens and Hanging Baskets Competition which was
followed by a question and answer debate on plants and shrubs.
One lady asked about her new gooseberry bush which had lost
all of its leaves and the reason was it had been attacked by the
Saw Fly. These are all the kinds of questions that are asked on
the allotments all the time.
Now if you are interested in growing your own fruit and
vegetables the waiting list for an allotment is not very long, so
all you need to do is ring our Secretary on 01652 635663 and
she will tell you what to do.
Here are some of the winners at
this years Show

As we write this article, the adult group will have just finished their recent play “Hello, Is There Any Body There?” by Ian Hornby. A
full length comedy, murder, mystery all rolled into one. With characters such as Mr Vic Tim, Miss Marbles, a delicious young female
PC and Smalls the Butler, how can anyone take things too seriously. Directed this time by Alun Friend the group had much fun in
rehearsals getting to grips with their characters to put the show on. Thank you to all our loyal supporters for coming along to watch,
we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
The group have had a busy year with the All England Theatre Festival back in March, another evening of plays performed by all the groups, the youth group who performed The Wacky World of Café Panto and the adults performing another of David Tristram’s plays – “When the Fat Lady Sings In Little Grimley”. The younger members of the group enjoyed their annual red carpet, Oscar style awards presentation, with this year’s awards as follows: “Best Actress Seniors” – Kate Jackson, “Best Actress Juniors” – Amy Guy, “Best Actor Seniors” – George Thomson, “Best Actor Juniors” – Alex Raithby, “Most Improved Seniors” – Emily Leaning, “Most Improved Juniors” – Isabelle Golden, and for “Outstanding Service to the Group” – Alex Raithby. A huge congratulations to all our younger members for all their hard work and effort this year.

E1W the local youth group based at St. Mary’s Church (meetings Fridays 5pm to
7pm for children 11 to 18) would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all who helped them reach their dream. The dream was to attend an Olympic event and after 2 years of hard fundraising they achieved the target. Fundraising began and with support and kindness shown by the congregation of the church we progressed well.
Tickets were bought in the first round (lucky) then accommodation was found. We managed to sleep in walking distance from the Cutty Sark; a local church in the area offered us a place to stay. Then with T-shirts designed by Chris Catley, hats knitted by grandma Brown (sorry mum) and an amazing banner designed by M D Signs (Barton) off we went. What an adventure 3 days away, a full day in the stadium, 160,000 people milling around and there was no sign of trouble. We didn’t even lose any of the 15 children we took. The whole event was exceptional and it was a definite WOW moment in our lives.
Lots of local people and businesses helped the group along the way and the last sponsored event the town got behind the group wonderfully………SPAR, FRENCHY’S (thanks Juliet), MICKY B’S, REGAL FISH, DENTAL SURGERY, CV’S, KEITH READY, COACH AND HORSES, CORN EXCHANGE INCLUDING THE DARTS TEAM, BARTON TOWN BAND, MATHEW EVISON BUILDER.
A special mention needs to go the Barton Lions because of their ongoing support we managed to get all the group a lifetime souvenir for each of us to remember what a fantastic event we attended.
The group of children we took were a credit to Barton and to St Mary’s Church, they did you all proud and I would like to say thanks to them as they show respect, kindness and teamwork throughout the 2 years of fundraising. Well done.
Thank you for reading Amanda Alliss
For more details of the youth group please ring Amanda Alliss one of the E1W leaders on 634093

Ten Scouts and five volunteer adults spent a week in London during the Olympic games The following are the Scouts' experiences in their own words edited to protect the guilty: The troop of 3rd Barton Scouts had a very enjoyable time in London during our Summer holidays. Obviously the most enjoyable bit of our trip was the Olympics. The events we saw during our week in London were; Basketball, Taekwondo and freestyle wrestling. Our favourite was the wrestling because we saw the medals being presented. Some of the other stuff we did while in London: posing for photos outside Buckingham Palace, next to a lion in Trafalgar square and on the Abbey Road zebra crossing, visits to London Zoo, Madame Tussards (more posing for photos with the stars), the Science Museum, Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park not forgetting a ride on the London Eye. We also went shopping in Hamleys toy shop and found time to see the Lion King in the West End! The highlight of the trip was exploring the Olympic park and having lunch in the world's largest McDonalds before spending lots of money in the Olympic shop. We travelled from Barton on the train to Brentwood in Essex were we stayed at the Thriftwood Scout centre. It was great as we had showers and proper loos!
The trip was made possible by the generous financial support of the following organisations: Cooperative Membership community fund Smile Foundation Barclays Bank North Lincolnshire Council

Wilderspin National School Museum The School will be open from 10am as part of the Barton Christmas Festival on Saturday 24th November. As usual we will be providing somewhere to sit and enjoy some refreshments in Scholars Coffee Shop but we will be staying open longer this year until 8pm.
From 11am there will be Traditional Christmas Craft Fair and a chance for children to have a go making cards, jewellery and more under expert guidance. Come along and see our brilliant display of "Awesome Angels" which involves the work of our local schools, nurseries and young people’s groups, and have a go at making a "Guardian Angel" to hang on our Christmas Tree in remembrance of a loved one.
Winners of the 2012 Schools Handwriting Competition receiving their certificates and prizes at the Wilderspin National School. As part of the awards presentation the
children had a go at handwriting techniques from the past using sand trays, slates and dip pens. The School is grateful to Barton Lions for supporting the competition in 2012. The winning entries are on display throughout the autumn.
2012 has been another successful year at the School Museum. We have provided a record number of teaching sessions with schools from around the region and both sides if the Humber, and 20,000 people visited the School or used its facilities which
was our target when the Queen Street School Preservation Trust sought grant support for restoring the listed building.
We have had to make a couple of changes to our events programme; Regrettably, due to
technical problems, our Dickens film shows on 7th and 8th December have had to be cancelled, and we shall be announcing the rescheduled date for An Evening with Gervase Phinn as soon as possible.
In readiness for new exhibitions in 2013 and 2014 we are asking past pupils, parents and staff to get in touch to share their memories of the Church School on Queen Street. We are also keen to get everyone’s recollections of childhood games and play. Details of both projects are available from our website (www.wilderspinschool.org.uk) and from the School.
All our activities are run by volunteers who get involved in a number of ways including planning events, building maintenance, gardening, working in the shop, giving guided tours, looking after our collections and working on exhibitions. Others help with fundraising to continue the work of the Queen Street School Preservation Trust to maintain the building as a museum and a community venue. All our volunteers enjoy being part of a team and getting to meet new friends – so please get in touch if you’d like to be involved as we always welcome new members. Our schools programme is delivered by paid staff and we need to expand our team of session leaders to keep pace with the growing demand from schools. If this sort of work interests please get in touch – it helps to have a background in teaching or drama but it’s not essential although you do need to agree to be CRB checked.

Hello, I wonder if any of your readers can help me?
I am looking for an old friend of mine that I used to work
with. Her name was Kathy Batty, and we worked together
at a boarding school in Giggleswick, back in about 1969.
My name then was June Maciver, and I would love to catch
up with her, but all I knew was that she lived in Barton.
If she would like to get in touch,
My address is, June Tasker, 19, Seagran Ave, Hessle,
HU13 9ER. Tel 01482 647695 / 07929468328
The application by RWE Npower to install 18 wind turbines
(known as the Saxby Wold Wind Farm) on land to the south west
of Barton has been refused (twice) by North Lincolnshire
Council. The Applicant has appealed and the details are as
follows:
Planning Appeal location: Elsham Hall

UPDATE --- September 2012
We have now been open to help people for just over seven
months. Help has continued to pour in from individuals and
various church and community groups.
FOOD COLLECTIONS. These continue in all the churches
in Barton and some of the villages, together with community
groups. Each month we have donations and enquiries from
new groups. The supermarket collections have gone well. In
addition to designated days at Tesco and Co-op, we have
collection bins permanently in their stores, together with one
at Heron. All these are to be found near the check-out tills.
On collection days, many shoppers are beginning to get used
to our presence and willingly take one of our shopping lists,
requesting tinned and dried food, petfood, nappies, toilet rolls,
toothpaste etc. This has also proved a useful way of recruiting
new helpers. Last month we had two consecutive days at
Tesco, and we are extending our collection hours, as it has
been noted that whilst there is a dip in trade between 4 and
5pm, shoppers begin to come out again to do their week-end
shop. We collected 700kgs of food. The rotas for these are
somewhat stretched, but we manage. I’m always keen to
welcome new volunteers to help in this way. It is amazing
how quickly the food can go down, and it is important to keep
ahead of supply and demand. Please just ring me on 01652
632512 if you would like to help.
Now the new school term is underway I have written to our
local schools to ask them to consider us for any items which
they may receive in their Harvest Celebrations.
WAREHOUSE/ STORAGE Penny Phillips’s team has
been especially busy on distribution days. There are usually 2
people there, making up extra parcels, often as clients wait.
Friday is the busier of the 2 days, as it is often clear by the
end of the week that benefits have not arrived in time. We
only help as a short term measure for those in crisis, not as
some people assume for everyone. Some people are refused
vouchers by our agencies, as we will not support lifestyles
e.g. funding drinking and smoking, where food has not been a
priority. (Most of the reasons for needing help are due to
benefit cuts, delays or reviews, but we do see other often sad
and distressing reasons for people seeking our help)
Our space is still somewhat limited, but the Trinity Methodist
Church has been kind enough to allow us some storage space
for made-up parcels.
DISTRIBUTION Captain Anita Cotterill of the Salvation
Army now has a few more helpers in her team, but like Penny
and myself, we can always welcome more to share the load.
At the end of July, Diana Mingaye came in to give us the
figures for the month, and also since we started. Between 19th
June and 27th July , we had dealt with 44 vouchers,
representing 59 adults and 51 children, plus dogs and cats.
This is now up to date, with August and the first half of
September being busy. In total from opening on 31st January,
and the first voucher coming in on 10th February, until 18th
September, there have been over 180 vouchers, representing
307 adults and 218 children. This is a bittersweet success in
that the Food bank is working well, but it is a sad reflection
on our times that it should be so badly needed.
One more rather nice piece of news to mention, is that whilst
collecting at the Coop in June, the owner of the Jubilee Sweet
Shop on Holydyke approached me to offer help. As a result,
we now are able to give a £1 voucher to families with children
coming in to Food Bank, for a bag of sweets. This was a
lovely gesture and is much appreciated.
PARTNER AGENCIES Diana is kept busy supplying the
agencies with the red vouchers, and answering their queries.
We now also have the Barton Health Visitors, Winterton
Resource Centre and North Lincolnshire Homes on board.
The leaflet mentioned in the last update is now available
thanks to Diana, who has distributed them in surgeries, Link
offices etc.
FUNDING We still continue to receive the occasional
financial donation, although most of our donations are in
goods. Both are much appreciated, as there are times when we
have to buy items which are expensive and in short supply
such as nappies, toilet rolls and female hygiene products. We
do try to source these in other ways, but it is not easy. Our
continued thanks must go to Trinity Methodist Church for the
free use of their premises, without which we would have the
extra burden of constant fund-raising. Other churches help in
other ways as they are able to do so. In relation to fund-
raising, Wendy Fowler is organising a Coffee Morning in
St.Mary’s Church Hall, Barton, in the next few weeks. Details
will be advertised around the area. We look forward to your
support.
AND FINALLY…..! There are a few items which do not
come under the above headings.
We have had enquiries from other groups of churches in the
last few months, requesting help in setting up their own
independent food banks. One is in Kent, a second in Somerset
and nearer to home a group in Barnsley. Steve Bennett put
together a Powerpoint presentation to give to the Barnsley
churches on September 20th. We feel that we have been given
so much help by Scunthorpe Food Bank (the Baptist Church)
that it is now our turn to help others—no, we are not setting
up as consultants…..!!! Just to let everyone know that the
presentation was well received.
And the very last item is to advise of the A.G.M which was
held on Tuesday 23rd October in St.Mary’s Church Hall,
Barton. This was the occasion to formally constitute the
Barton Area Food Bank and to move on from a Steering
Group to an officially elected committee with a new
constitution.
Please accept my thanks to the Steering Group, all the helpers
and donors, who have made this first year a success—it really
has been teamwork!
PLEASE REMEMBER US AT CHRISTMAS TIME. WE
ARE COLLECTING IN BARTON TESCO ALL DAY ON
SATURDAY 8TH DECEMBER.

Barton Arts 2012
This popular art and cultural programme was financially supported by Barton Town Council, Smith & Walker (Optometrists) Ltd, Barton Lions, Fleetgate Glass, North Lincolnshire Council and The Spice Lounge.
Poetry and Folk at the Assembly Rooms. An affiliated group of BA is Barton Muse, a poetry group meeting at Frankie’s, 35, High Street every 4th Sunday at 1900. We combined with Stitchwort Poets and Driftnet Poets from Grimsby to put on a celebration of performance poetry with folk and traditional music performed by the entertaining and diverse Cara and guitar performances from Muse’s Steve Brailsford. An open-mic session produced many original writings
Exhibition of School Artwork at St Mary’s Parish Church. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Cultural Olympiad were natural themes as they were for our events overall and attractive displays were created by G o x h i l l P r i m a r y , Bowmandale, St Peter’s, South Ferriby and County. Meanwhile the young people from Barton Youth Centre had been creating a wall hanging (shown right) to commemorate the Jubilee and this also had pride of place at the Exhibition.
Music Fit for a King (or Queen). Celebrated lecturer and BA Chairman, Graham Saunders presented an illustrated talk on music for State Occasions throughout the ages to a packed audience at Wilderspin National School.
Nostalgia Exhibition at Wilderspin National School. With pupils of Sir John Nelthorpe School, Wilderspin and Barton Arts collected Coronation 1950s memorabilia including historical pictures of the Coronation which configured into a colourful Jubilee Band Party A welcome return was made to Queens by Paula Baldwin’s Shiny Stockings supported by Vintage Dance Troupe, Jump Jive Alive, Gary (Mr Sinatra) Grace (right), Sara Blair Manning and Christine Scott. A Pie and Pea supper contributed to the inner man and woman.
Jubilee Nostalgia Tea. Billed as an open air event, intermittent rain drove us into the Wilderspin Hall. A s e l e c t i o n o f sandwiches, enticing
cakes, scones with cream and jam, jelly and trifle were served by pupils from Sir John Nelthorpe School to the enjoyment of all. Art At the Mill Our first event was Breakfast with Barney where we discussed the way forward to celebrate the life, work and times of Ted (Edward) Lewis (Lew), author of Jack’s Return Home which was the basis of the seminal noir film, Get Carter, starring Michael Caine
For Barnfest Unplugged, June and Barney were again our hosts. Initially outside in the car park but driven in by the lashing rain a crowded pub listened with enjoyment to the acoustic s ounds of musicians who gave their performances free and for which we thank them: Dean Birkett, Steve Brailsford, Dave Elf, Mike Wright, Tom Lee, Daz Bramley, Tom and Melissa, 13 Veils and Missing Time.
Much Ado about Nothing was presented at St Peter’s School Field, a spellbinding p r o d u c t i o n b y Heartbreak Open Air Theatre. The audience picnicked in delightful surroundings and were inspired by a very individual production of William Shakespeare’s well-known comedy.
Art, A Mirror on the World was an excellent illustrated talk by Bob Ward at Wilderspin, again to a packed audience.
Lindsey Chamber Orchestra gave only their second concert and the first orchestral concert that could be remembered in Barton. Hosted at St Mary’s Parish Church, a swift invitation to return was issued after a memorable night.
A Celebration of Movement was BA’s contribution to the local Cultural Olympiad. Hosted by an enthusiastic and helpful Waters’ Edge, there were exhibitions of dance, sloops, heritage cycles and cars as well as face painting and bell ringing.

Horrible Histories Trip
This is the second year that the school has organised a trip to
Hull New Theatre to watch Horrible Histories Live. This year
was all about the Terrible Tudors, beheadings and burning at
the stake and the gruesome events of the period were acted out
to a packed theatre.
A sell out trip again; with a full coach of Year 8 students and
the catchy tune of the fate of Henry VIII’s wives, ‘Died,
beheaded, divorced, died, beheaded, survived’ ringing
through the aisles on the journey home; proving that live
theatre can reach the minds of an audience of any age.
Charlie Dickenson from Ancholme 4 recalls the experience:
‘We left school at 5pm and took the coach to McDonalds. Mrs
Gardner, Mr Bee, Mr Barker and Miss Austen gave us an
hour to eat our dinner.
When we left we went straight to Hull New Theatre and
watched the show. It had actors in the first half, and 3D in the
second half, I would recommend it to anyone ..... It was
great!’
Mr Barker, who organised the trip, praised the behaviour of
the students and added that ‘the experience of a live
performance at a theatre is fantastic and if the entertainment
is educational then that just adds to the experience.’
Roll on next year and who knows what period in history we
will have the pleasure of witnessing.
To get a taste of what the school has on offer, we asked
new Year 7 students, Natalie White and Abigail
Standerline to give us an account of their experience
during their first half term here.
Diary of a Baysgarth Year 7 student
By Abigail Standerline and Natalie White.
We’re a few weeks into the school term and thoroughly
enjoying every minute of Baysgarth School life. Firstly, the
lessons are really interesting and the teachers are generously
offering all the support we need. There is a wide range of after
school activities including rugby, girls’ and boys’ football,
badminton, cheerleading, netball, and hockey, amongst other
things. There is plenty to keep you occupied during lunchtime
too; science club on a Tuesday and a different activity in the
LRC every day ensure a full and active life at the school.
We love the two canteens at the school, one located in the art
block and the other located near the main hall. The food they
offer at break and lunchtimes is delicious. Toasties, teacakes
and sandwiches can be bought at break; with hot meals like
pasta, jacket potatoes, curry and meat with two vegetables on
offer at lunchtime.
During our first week we were getting to know our way
around the place, learning the teachers’ names and getting to
know them. All of the Year 7 students had a shock when they
realised how big the school was; we would say that we all had
an adventure trying to find our way around.
A few more weeks in and it feels like we have been here
forever. We think that we will have an awesome time going
on school trips and generally through the year; all the way
through to the 6th form.
Grand Designs
A visit to Baysgarth School is becoming a much more
interesting and pleasing experience. Collages, pictures and
plaques of the students, participating in everyday school
activities, are on display throughout the school.
The identity and high expectations of the school is illustrated
in a pictorial journey from the main reception through to the
main hall.

Barton Rotary Club
Members of Barton Rotary club are preparing for another very busy Christmas period. Beginning at the Christmas Festival, the popular “Photos With Santa” will again see youngsters receiving a gift as well as a picture.
Senior Citizens are again invited to a free Christmas Concert to be held in Baysgarth School Hall on Sunday December 9th at 7.00pm. Entertainment is again by Barton and District Amateur Operatic Society and Barton Town Band. They will perform a selection of seasonal music and, at the interval supper will be served. Transport can be provided by telephoning David Witter on 01652 632675.
During the weeks before Christmas, Barton Rotary Club members will be touring the streets of Barton and the villages escorting Santa on his sleigh. This is a very popular, traditional part of Christmas in Barton, with many parents bringing their children out to see Santa. Money raised helps to pay for some of the events for the elderly over the festive season.
Rotary Club President, Mike Knapton said “We share this event with our friends in Barton Lions, touring on alternate weeks. We enjoy going round with Santa and also collecting outside the Supermarkets; people are so generous with their donations, knowing that they are helping other people in our town. With Rotary and Lions, nothing is deducted for administration.”
On Christmas Day, Barton Rotary Club members will be cooking about 50 Christmas lunches and then delivering them to elderly people who will be spending Christmas on their own. This is a full Christmas Dinner, including turkey with all the trimmings, followed by trifle, mince pies and fruit. To arrange to have this delivered, please contact David Witter on 01652 632675. A member will then call round to check the delivery arrangements.
This all follows a busy summer
for Barton Rotary Club. A “Royal” Garden was held and a cheque
for over £2,000 was presented to Lindsey Lodge Hospice at
Scunthorpe. Barton Town Band entertained and the many guests enjoyed a “Royal” afternoon tea.
A cheque for £500 was also handed over to Barton Town Band to help them with the
transport costs to take part in the final of the British Brass Band
competition at the Royal Albert Hall.
At the end of the school summer term, Barton Rotary Club members attended final assemblies at ten Junior Schools in Barton and the villages to present each of the pupils who would be leaving and moving up to secondary education, with an Usbourne Illustrated Dictionary. A total of 234 were handed out in the hope that it will help the children in their future education. Also, four children from Bowmandale School were provided with a weeklong holiday at Castleton Camp in Derbyshire, paid for by Barton Rotary Club. The camp is run by Sheffield Rotary Club and the children took part in many activities and visits to entertainment parks. Club members transported the children to and from Sheffield at the beginning and end of the holiday.
Internationally, Barton Rotary Club has donated £500 to the Barton branch of Toc H, to add to their collections in the Barton area aimed at providing a well to supply water to a village in Ghana. £100 has also been donated each to 1st Barton Guides and the Army Cadets following their help at the Rotary Humber Bridge Half Marathon.

St Mary’s Bellringers,
Barton-upon-Humber
The Tower Open Day in July was a great success
and there are four new learners currently being
taught, Alison Cressey, Marianne Mosey, Darren
Stockdale and John Hodson. They are all doing very
well and will soon be at a stage when they could
ring for Sunday Service.
The bells at St Peter’s have been rung for practice
nights on the last Tuesday of the each month
throughout the summer, September 25th being the
final practice there for 2012. It is hoped that this
will continue to be possible during 2013.
Ringing has continued for the 0900 Sunday
Services, some particular other services, weddings
and to mark special events.

The story so far:
We funded two local fifteen year olds - Arron Finnis and Jazz Cox to go along and take part in a youth leadership course. Twenty five youngsters visit the Rotary Club of Sheffield's thirty acre site known at Castleton camp, where they take part in many tasks, have fun creating challenges for each other and engage in problem solving.
With a sponsored walk, we collected sponsorship to help “When You Wish Upon A Star” children's charity. We started our walk at the Barrow Haven Inn (pictured
right), where Paul & Jill supported and made us very welcome – (thanks Paul & Jill). We walked from Barrow to Barton and returned to Barrow for a late lunch. We raised in excess of £3,000 including Gift Aid. The generosity of the people of Barrow and Barton is truly great.
Lindsey Lodge Charity Walk. Again, Barrow Haven Inn to Barton and return to the Haven Inn. We had good support and lots of fun. This event raised £2,000 including Gift Aid - much needed funds for the hospice. Again, many thanks to all involved.
Barton Bike Night went roaring ahead despite the rain. We had a barbecue selling Roger Sergeant’s burgers to the hungry bikers and raised funds for our local projects. We also did a bucket collection for the charity Afghan Heroes to help injured soldiers. We also helped marshal the event and although we were stretched Barrow Rotarians turned out in good number. Many thanks for the help from Ben and Sarah Sergeant who were cooking the food.
Three of our Rotarians visited a Rotary Club in Luneburg, near Hamburg whilst their town was hosting and celebrating the Hanseatic festival (six hundred years since the last celebration in the town of the festival). Our members were truly spoilt!
We hosted a GSE team from Brazil for a long week end in mid September. They are here in England, for a month staying in L i ncolnsh i re & Yorkshire. Visitors from Brazil & Club members at Hull City
The highlights of the visit were:-
Pizza Party at one of our Rotarian’s house - they have an outside Pizza Oven - the pizzas were delicious Bus to Hull over the Humber Bridge Trip around the ground & pitch at Hull City – then watched Hull City beat Millwall Four 0ne. Guided walk around Barrow - led by a local historian Keith Miller - who was very good - communicated well with the team A cross country walk to the Haven Inn for a traditional Sunday Lunch Open Mike night at the Six Bells - really good singers - the GSE team enjoyed the music - being Brazilian! A visit to Castledyke School Barton – the children, staff & Mrs Pugh (Head) did us proud The GSE team, the various people we met and helped and of course ourselves had a great week end, explaining about the UK, our area and our culture and vice versa.
First Annual Charity Fishing Match The Biggest Fish winner had a huge surprise when he was awarded the prize for his catch. Mr Brightmore (pictured right) received a gift voucher and a ‘fish’ cake for his efforts. An unusual b i g g e s t f i sh t a l e !
Forty two anglers from Yorkshire, Humber and North Lincolnshire had turned out to support the first Annual Charity Fishing Match organised by Colin Finnis, Barrow Meridian Rotarian. The funds raised were in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice and local charitable causes. Local businesses sponsored the event by donating prizes, vouchers and sponsoring pegs. Members of the Rotary Club arrived early in the morning, to prepare hot beverages and bacon buns for everyone, for a small donation. All anglers were winners on the day with a prize given for each peg number drawn. Sponsors each paid £10.00 toward the fishing peg number, largest of which being Stoneacre, a representative of which have said “we are happy to work with the Barrow Meridian Rotary Club in the future”. Overall, the event was a huge success raising a total of £994.32 for the designated charities and great cash up to the value of £420 were awarded on the day, to the eight lucky winners.
