## **Better Barrow Community Project Annual Report  2021-2022** 

This has been another relatively quiet year for two reasons. 

Firstly, of course, the continuing presence of Covid has put a damper on activities.  Secondly, having achieved our significant aim of erecting the statue to John Harrison, we have not been looking for a major project. 

Nevertheless, we did manage to hold a Wheelbarrow Weekend in a somewhat reduced form, without Open Gardens or publicity outside the village in 2021. It was a very welcome opportunity for people to enjoy something positive.  We also revamped the Barrow Village leaflets to take account of the statue and the fact that they were running low.  Another improvement was the erection of an additional information board in the Market Place which gave more details about the statue. Both of these projects received part-funding from the North Lincolnshire Community Grant. 

Although we were unable to hold the grand unveiling, the statue has received much praise and stands out as one of the most impressive representations of famous men and women, so often shown in a rather anonymous way. 

This year we hope that the Wheelbarrow Weekend, coinciding as it does with the Jubilee celebrations, will be more like those of previous years incorporating a number of events and displays around the village. 

We will also be staging a Plant Sale on May 7[th] and re-introducing the John Harrison Prize in collaboration with John Harrison School. 

Finally, we have been consulting with North Lincolnshire Museums about the possibility of a ‘pop up’ John Harrison exhibition at Baysgarth Museum in the summer. Watch this space…
