Barton Arts Festival 2013 On Saturday 22nd June 2012, King Street Barton will be the venue for a foretaste of the comprehensive summer programme of events at Barton Arts’ Publicity Day. Stalls will line the road and a “Railings” exhibition of paintings will feature along the front of Central Surgery. Entertainment will be provided by the Roy Norton Band,

Barton Open Gardens (this year Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th) in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice always draws large attendance of enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy time out in many varied local gardens,

some providing individual refreshments. The Impressive Birmingham Michigan Methodist Youth Choir pays a return visit to Trinity Methodist Church with a concert on Saturday 29th June (tickets from Trinity).

A little late but better late than never. I would just like to thank all Bartonians for making last year’s show a great success and the feed-back from both exhibitors and the general public was “yes, see you next year”. The quality and amount of exhibits was outstanding. Thank you to all the Committee who helped on the day especially our Treasurer Mrs Belinda Lant and Secretary Miss Sandra Reed-Jennings for all the work that was put into the organising and printing everything needed for the show and because of their effort we were able to pay out prize money on the day. I would also like to say a big thank you to all our sponsors the Lions, Rotary, Bakkavor and all the local shops and stores that helped us provide an outstanding Tombola stall and rosettes for the winners on show day, it was appreciated by everyone. There were only a few exhibits in the children’s classes, which stood out. I hope this year more local schools and children will get involved. There are plans for extra classes and hopefully there will be something for them all to enter.

Down on the allotments we have moved into the 21st century and have put hardcore on the central access road on the allotment site making it more accessible for mobility scooters We would like to thank the Lions for a generous donation towards this project. The next big step is to make the site more secure by putting a stock fence and hedging along the front of the site. Thank you to North Lincolnshire Council they have given us a grant which will go towards the cost and work will be starting soon, this will also benefit the local environment.

The weather was a bit up and down last year so I hope

that it improves this year and everyone gets better crops although I did well with my rhubarb, cabbages and broad beans.

Now starts the hard work turning over the soil for this year’s crops, so if you were a little unfit before you will soon feel the benefits after digging as my wife keeps telling me! I have noticed more plots holders are sowing green manure, mustard, winter rye and alfalfa which can be dug in before flowering. This puts all the nutrients back into the soil that you need for a good crop, these seeds are available from all major seed suppliers. In the coming months I will be busy planting, hoeing any weeds and watering where necessary also keeping a watchful eye for pests. I pinch out the tips of my broad beans to stop black fly and make sure there are no pests on my gooseberry bushes. In September we were invited to the Town Council Best Kept Gardens and Hanging Baskets presentation, this was followed by a “Gardeners Question Time”. One particular lady asked about her gooseberry bush which had suddenly lost all its leaves, which can happen after an attack by the Sawfly. I check under leaves lower down in the centre of the bush for eggs, caterpillars can be handpicked off.

This year’s seed catalogues have many new varieties, so why not try something different like the Asparagus Pea, deep red flowers followed by masses of winged pods, sweet, crisp and asparagus flavoured. In the coming months I will be feeding and nurturing my onions and marrows for this year’s show on Saturday 17th August, Trinity Hall, Barton. If you would like to grow your own fruit, flowers and vegetables the waiting list is not very long at the moment so ring the Secretary on 01652 635663 for details and I will look forward to meeting you soon.

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. Our season of talks at the Assembly Rooms is under way. Coming up are: `Live Fast and Die Young` by Pam Tatum on 19 April; `Life at a Japanese University` by Tricia Coverdale Jones on 17 May; `15 Years of Cleethorpes, A Rail and Social View` by Bryan Longbone on 21 June; `Stories in Stone - Alabasters` by Geoff Bell on 20 September; `Buy One, Get One Free: the Sheffield`s Hill Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries` by Kevin Leahy on 18 October; and `Illuminating Christmas` by Maureen Ille on 15 November. All talks are at 7.30 on Fridays evenings. They are free to members but a charge of £2.00 will be made to non-members. If you wish to become a member, please contact our membership secretary, Jean Bradley, on 01652 634267.

Barton Toc H

A new well to provide water for a village called Anotem

in Ghana, has now been completed.

The £3,000 to pay for the well has been raised by members of

Barton Toc H, helped by other Barton organisations. Toc H

members and friends did a sponsored cycle ride of 60 miles, a

quiz and other events, raising over £2,000, a donation was

made by Barton Lions and £500 came from Barton Rotary

Club. A Rotary Club in USA paid for the test drilling needed

before the construction could begin.

The borehole delivers 35 litres per minute of clean, fresh

drinking water and will save the women of the village long

walks to collect water. It will also generally improve the

hygiene of the

villagers.

At the completion

of the project,

Paul Dimoline of

Barton Toc H said

“Barton Toc H

members worked

very hard to

provide this much

needed Well. We

are also grateful

for the help given by Barton Rotary Club and Barton Lions”.

The weather in Barton during 2012 - rain, rain and more rain

During the four years 2008 to 2011 Barton’s total annual rainfall declined significantly year on year - from 762 mm (28½ inches) in 2008 to 426 mm (16¾inches) in 2011 - in all a fall of some 336 mm (13 inches). 2011's total was the first time since 1995 that Barton’s total rainfall fell below 500 mm.

In 2011 only 426 mm (16¾ inches) was recorded at the weather station in Queen Street. This was some 85 mm (nearly 3½ inches) less than 2010's rainfall, 170 mm (nearly 7 inches) less than 2009's and a staggering 336 mm (13 inches) less than the total recorded in 2008. One can only imagine the effect this was having on the water table below North Lincolnshire and it was similarly not surprising that the artesian springs in Barton Beck ran dry for much of the year, that many of the Humber Bank ponds were short of water and that even the level of water in the Blow Wells on Far Ings was unusually low.

Concluding our 2011 weather report we stated that ‘Barton badly needs a very wet year’ and for the first 3 months of 2012 it looked as though we were in for an even drier year than 2011 as only 62.5mm (2½ inches) fell. But we certainly made up for it from April onwards! From 2011's miserable 426 mm (16¾ inches) the 2012 total soared to 805.5 mm (31¾ inches) - Barton got almost double the rainfall of the previous year. The result was that by December the Beck was overflowing across Soutergate, water levels in the Humber Bank ponds were higher than they have been for many years and 8 inches of water rose into the cellar at 8 Queen Street!

Monthly totals in 2012 were - Jan - 28 mm; Feb - 16 mm; Mar - 18.5 mm; April - 129mm; May - 48.5 mm; June - 107 mm; July - 83 mm; Aug - 48.5 mm; Sept - 47 mm; Oct - 52.75 mm; Nov - 113.75 mm; Dec - 113. 5 mm

So the average annual rainfall for the 18 years 1995 to 2012 has been 633mm (c. 25 inches).

The lowest temperature recorded in 2012 was minus 10OC on 10 February and the highest 320C in late July.

On 12th January 2013 the Julia Tyson School of Dancing held a Show and Presentation of

Awards to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the dance school. (10 years and 1 day since the school welcomed its first pupils through the door - a number of whom are still with us today!) The afternoon began with pupils performing twenty routines which took the audience back through each year of the past decade - each group danced to a Number 1 hit from 2003 up to the 2012. Finally over 100 very excited pupils packed onto the stage to perform a final group dance to Blame it on the Boogie. After the interval pupils were presented with over 300 awards for examinations, attendance, effort and encouragement. Daisy Dixon was named our Overall Winner and Francesca Hall received our Endeavour Award (kindly sponsored by Bardney Hall). Mr & Mrs J Oxley and Mr & Mrs K Vickers presented the awards as well as being great sports during the afternoon by joining in various party games and challenges! It was a wonderful occasion to mark the 10th Anniversary of the school and showcase the talents of its pupils. I was extremely proud of all of our pupils for their dancing, attitude, commitment and the support which they always show each other - they are amazing! If anyone would like to join they can contact me on 07901 870032 or through our website www.juliatysonschoolofdancing.co.uk

Geoff Bryant reached another milestone in his ringing career

in September 2012 – he rang his 1000th Quarter Peal and did

so in style with six of the pupils he had taught to ring over the

years. Many congratulations Geoff from all the St. Mary’s

ringers. Congratulations also to Robert Petherbridge who

rang his first Quarter Peal on 8 bells.

First on 8 – 1

Geoff Bryant's 1000th Quarter Peal rung with Barton friends

most of whom he has taught to ring.

The bells were rung half muffled on Armistice Day not only

for the 0900 service but later in the morning leading up to the

2 minutes silence at 1100 then again after the silence.

November 17th was the St Mary’s Bellringers’ outing which

this time found them in York. The day started at the church

of St Laurence with 8 bells and an ultra posh ringing room

but sadly the sound of the bells didn’t match the quality of the

ringing room!

Cars were left in the church car park and we walked into the

city centre to ring at St Martin le Grand, Coney Street. The

building was largely destroyed in 1942 but the tower is still

intact and houses 8 wonderfully sounding bells.

Lunch was taken at various venues in York before we walked

through the park to ring at St Olave’s church which has 6

bells.

The final tower was at Market Weighton where we enjoyed

ringing the 8 bells before going on to Walkington and the

much anticipated pleasure of eating at the Ferguson Fawsitt

Arms to round off a splendid day.

Everyone was most grateful to George Thompson who had

made all the arrangements, well done George!

The teaching of new learners continues and tower members

extend a warm welcome to Revd. Ivan Howitt, a very

experienced ringer, who has moved to Barton following his

retirement. Visiting bands always find ringing at St Mary’s

well worth while and leave such comments as “The bells are

lovely”; “The ringing chamber is welcoming”; “How great

to watch the bells ringing on the TV screen!”.

Ringing took place for several extra services over Christmas

and the New Year was welcomed with open ringing from

2330 on New Year’s Eve followed by George Thompson

striking the tenor for midnight. It was greatly appreciated that

many local residents turned out at such a late hour to be at St

Mary’s to join in the celebrations. Everyone is looking forward to another successful year for

2013.

Information on Dog Control Orders adopted by North Lincolnshire Council via: ht tp : //www.nor th l i n cs .gov .uk/Nor thL inc s/Environment/animals/DCO/

This also includes local maps via the A-Z. This information has been publicised as widely as possible via the local media,

council website, Direct magazine and recently via the fledgling NLC Dog Warden Twitter account:

http://twitter.com/NLCDogWarden

Effective dog control is only as good as the intelligence provided by you, the public/others regarding issues at a

specific location. To take effective action they require the following as they do not have the resources to routinely

attend or patrol sites across the area on the 'off-chance' of seeing breach of a DCO or irresponsible dog ownership:

A) Specific locations for popular dog walking/exercise were dog control is a problem.

B) Specific days and times for popular dog walking/exercise were dog control is a problem.

C) Details of irresponsible dog owners/walkers - Name, address, car registration number etc.

To access the on-line dog fouling reporting form, please

follow: http://www.northlincs.gov.uk/Environment/Animals/

DogFouling or Ring 01724 297000

The response will be to 'door knock' those reported and

advise them that their community has reported them for alleged irresponsible dog ownership and that they will monitor

the situation and act, if necessary. They may also undertake programmed patrols on whatever day and at whatever time is

appropriate if it is a larger scale problem - based upon intelligence.

They are able to, and will, educate and persuade regardless of

the existence of a DCO based upon local intelligence working with our communities.

Rotary Shoeboxes

Currently, there is a very large need for items for New Born Babies in Eastern Europe. Each member of Barton Rotary Club has filled two Shoeboxes to help fulfil this need and collections for separate items were made in Barton Trinity, St Mary’s and St Augustine’s churches, with a box placed next to the Christmas Cribs. A very large quantity of baby items was collected, which has been used to make up Rotary Shoeboxes. If other people in Barton would like to help, any items, including baby powder and soap, feeding bottles, babygrow suits and clothes, can be handed into The Ropewalk, near Tesco, during April. Items that are too large to fit into a Shoebox will be transported separately. Once again, many thanks to all who have helped so far.

Last November local schools in Barton and the villages, including Bowmandale and Castledyke, filled 183 Rotary Shoeboxes as gifts for children in Eastern Europe. Rotary volunteers delivered these in time for Christmas. Mike Knapton, Barton Rotary Club President said "We are very grateful to the children, parents and teachers at these schools for their help with this project, which will have given possibly the only Christmas present that the Eastern European children would receive".

Barton Rotary Club is organising a Garden Party, similar to last years “Royal” Garden Party. This year it will be held on Sunday

May 26th at Bardney Hall in Whitecross Street. It will commemorate the 1953 Coronation of The Queen. Entertainment will again be by Barton Town Band.

The Humber Bridge Half Marathon organised by Hull and Barton Rotary Clubs, will be staged on June 30th . Up to 2,000 runners will be passing through Barton. Please come and watch the event and encourage the athletes. Around £75,000 is raised annually for charity.

Barton Rotary Club members will again be helping with marshalling Barton Bike Night on 3rd July.

A Christmas Concert was staged in Baysgarth School Hall for 85 OAP's from Barton and nearby villages. They were collected by bus or car and taken to the hall where they were entertained by Barton Town Band and Barton and District Operatic Amateur Society - and provided with supper by Barton Rotarians and their partners.

This year a record number of sixty Christmas Day Dinners were cooked by Barton Rotarians and delivered to elderly people who would be on their own or could not cook a meal. As well as in Barton, meals were delivered to people in Barrow, New Holland, Goxhill and South Ferriby.

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 Littleford joined the practice on 29th October. There has also been the appointment of a new nurse, Sandra Cawood, who commenced her duties on 11th October.

In order to widen our representation we have asked a Sixth Form student from Baysgarth School to join us. 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 publically thank all those who took the trouble to write to us.

As many people will be aware, the NHS is undergoing significant changes in the way it is managed. The new Clinical Commissioning Group for our county has been established and is led by GPs from across North Lincolnshire. Two members of the Patient Forum attended a recent meeting of the CCG and were informed of the developments that have thus far taken place. We hope in future we will be able to make recommendations that might improve and enhance medical services in our immediate area. We would be happy to receive suggestions from any patient who is registered with Central Surgery.

The Patient Forum continues to meet every two months together with the Senior Partner Dr Jaggs-Fowler and the Practice Manager Mr Hunter. If any patient has a matter they wish to raise they can contact me through the Surgery. 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.

Barton Town Council Best Kept Garden and Hanging Basket Competition Winners 2012

ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION COMMITTEE REPORT 2012/2013

Chairman: Councillor Mrs Janet Oxley

2012/2013 was another busy year with everyone working hard to improve the town environment for both residents and visitors alike. We continue to work with other groups and agencies looking into ways to resolving environmental problems in and around the town.

As well as Town Councillors, membership of the Environmental Committee includes representatives from the Barton Lions Club, Barton Rotary Club, The Civic Society and NLC Neighbourhood Services, who all work together to improve the town’s environment. My sincere thanks to all.

We continue with resolving day to day problems e.g. damage to highway verges, traffic calming measures, litter, dog fouling, public conveniences, grass cutting, weeds in the streets etc. and rely on a good working partnership with the North Lincolnshire Council to resolve these and many other problems. With Special thanks to Graham Abbott and the team at Neighbourhood Services for their prompt responses to problems.

Our bulb planting went really well, thanks to all our volunteers. The chosen site this year was the Picnic area Barrow Mere. The bulbs were planted along the side of the road and should give a good show for the Spring.

The Best Kept Garden Competition was a success again this year with some new entrants. We are always looking to encourage more people to enter this competition and show off their very beautiful gardens! We do offer prizes and trophies to the winners with Certificates of Merit to all who enter.

In celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, an Oak Tree was planted in Baysgarth Park in December 2012. Thanks once again to Graham Abbott and his team for all their hard work in making this project a success.

My thanks to all committee members for their support, their enthusiasm and their effort in achieving so much this year.

COMMUNITY REGENERATION COMMITTEE REPORT 2012/2013

Chairman: Councillor Alan Todd

The Committee’s aim is to make Barton a better place in which to live and work, by staging events and assisting others with donations such as Barton Bike Night.

Picnic in the Park was held on the 4th June 2012 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. We were once again blessed with fine weather and turnout was high. I am grateful to The Co-op for sponsoring the races, Councillor John Oxley for his commentary and all Councillors that helped make it such a successful afternoon. This year’s event will take place on Sunday 4th August, between 1pm to 5pm in Baysgarth Park.

The Christmas Festival was held on 24th November and was well attended; comments received from those attending were favourable. Children from St Peters and Castledyke Schools submitted pictures depicting Christmas, two winners chosen to assist the Mayor to switch on the Christmas lights.

This year’s Festival will take place on Saturday 30th November and will comprise the Community Parade with the Reindeer along with the events stage. My personal thanks go to all the Committee members for their hard work and involvement with this event.

Finally I would like to thank the members of the Committee for their support and hard work during the past year. I would particularly like to thank my vice chair Councillor John Oxley and Jon Evison for their tireless efforts, our Town Clerk Shirley Richards and Deputy Town Clerk Carol Clark without whom the Town Council could not function.

Last but not least, I would like to thank you the general public for supporting the Town Council’s efforts and look forward to your continuing support this year.
