This page is intended to allow us to add pictures of events
occurring within the village.
Saturday 7th July 2007
Town House Barley
7.30pm for prompt 8.00pm start
6 Wines and supper included in the
£15 ticket
We are organising another fund raising event and it
will be a light hearted mixture of “Call my
Bluff” and “Wine Tasting”.
There will be a ‘panel’ of three of us pretending
to be wine experts.
Throughout the evening, each table will be given a
6 bottles of wine
(one per 'round', in turn) but the label and
shape of the bottle will be disguised. Each of the three panel members
will describe the wine that you (and they) are tasting. One panel member
will read the TRUE description of the wine and the other two will bluff
by reading a description of a wine that is
not on your table. Your team (table) has to guess
which panel member is telling the truth!
There will be 6 different
bottles of wine served in turn through the evening, 3 whites before the
food (included in the ticket price) and then 3 red wines after. The
winning team (table)
will be the one which has guessed the highest number of wines,
correctly!
Tickets will be sold by ‘tables’ with between 6 and
8 people (tickets) per table but if you cannot
make up a party of 6, we will combine you with other groups of less than
6 members to make up a ‘whole’ table wherever possible.

Barley held its Village supper in Feb 2004 . An evening
of Wine (and beer and soft drinks) Women (and men and children)
and song (undoubtedly!) was held in the Barley Town House. The food
was superb and comprised a main course prepared by Ursula Dunn, Sarah
Smith and Margaret Wilkerson and the puddings which were supplied by
various volunteers.
The entertainment was supplied by BOSS (Barley
Occasional Singing Society) and the diners joined in as required.
Fortunately, Mr Richard Dunn made a photographic record but not a audio
recording of the proceedings!
£440 was raised of which £40 has provided a new clock
for the Townhouse and the remaining £400 ha gone to the Sick Children's
Trust at Addenbrookes Hospital. Over the last 3 years this annual event
has donated approximately £1,000 to this charity which is just over 1% of
their total fund raising for the same period. This Trust provides accommodation
for families to stay nearby when seriously ill children are being treated
at Addenbookes. A worthwhile cause indeed! |

 Barley
resident Michael Taylor and Peter Mitton from Comberton will travel to
Sierra Leone in January 2004, working on a building project for a Leonard
Cheshire home and school for children with polio.
Michael and Peter are members of The Rotary Club of Royston, and
will be part of a Mission Challenge team provided by the charity Mercy
Ships which will include members of Rotary clubs from all over the
country. Rotary International has raised millions of pounds to eradiate
polio worldwide, so it’s fitting that Rotarians will again be helping
children who have the disease as a result of the civil war and the halting
of the inoculation programme. The second project to be undertaken by the
Mission Challenge team will be the refurbishment of a home for the
elderly.
Members of Mission Challenge teams pay their own travel costs and also
have to raise money to support their projects and buy items such as
building materials. They
visit the project for 10 days in order to participate actively in the
physical work and meet and know the people who will be running and
benefiting from the completed work. Michael will visit the Mercy Ship, Anastasis,
which will be in Freetown providing free onboard medical services as well
as supporting the local community through land-based clinics and
development projects.

The Plaque has now been Mounted (on Good Friday 2003) (Double click
any of the images to to enlarge them) |
 The
stone was first prepared by having a flat area excised from the top
surface |
 The
Mason then drilled peg holes into the top of the stone which aligned with
mounting screws on the back of the plaque. The holes were then filled with
epoxy resin adhesive and the plaque mounting screws were pushed into the
wet adhesive |
 The
Millennium plaque is now fixed. The Plaque is correctly aligned with the
compass points on it's surface |
