Better Barrow Community Project
Annual Report 2022-2023
Community Involvement
Wheelbarrow and Open Garden Event. The 11[th] Wheelbarrow Weekend was held as usual over the first two days of June and attracted over 70 2ntries together with 11 open gardens. Weather affected the second day but it was a very successful event nevertheless.
We also held a Plant Sale in the Market Place and raised over £300. The tombola stall at the Rotary Christmas Fair continues to be popular, raising £160.
Other Community Links
The John Harrison Prize was again awarded to two pupils at John Harrison School to enable each pupil and an adult to visit Greenwich to see the Harrison clocks.
Heritage
North Lincolnshire Museums held a ‘pop up’ exhibition about John Harrison at Baysgarth Museum to which Better Barrow loaned a number of books. The exhibition reproduced the display boards which we created for the 2014 celebration, now in Holy Trinity Church. Negotiations are in hand to secure the loan or gift of the statue maquette for North Lincs Museums.
Development of the village websites
Both the Better Barrow and Barrow-upon-Humber websites continue to be updated. More information about buildings of interest have been added and there are plans to add additional material which would include information about people and events.
There are also plans to add another information board about the local WW2 Fire brigades.
