Barley
Football Club was reformed in 2006 by former resident Leon Holden
after he joined a small group of lads that used to have a kick about on
a Sunday afternoon on the Plaistow. After much
consideration, Leon contacted various football
leagues and got in contact with the Hertfordshire F.A..
Barley Football club has now been
invited to enter the Halls of Cambridge Sunday League
after only six months.
So far, Barley boast 3 coaches:
Orsolya Ihasz, from Hungary now living in Cambridge works on
player fitness and Physio.
Ken Goldie: has
recently returned from Hungary after
running a team in Budapest for 4 years and now coaching players on the
ball and off skills, awareness and helping first time players gain an
understanding of the game.
David Boughtwood: whose grandfather
originally played and ran the line for Barley
many years ago. He follows in his
grandfather's footsteps by being a commanding
defender and a goalkeeping coach.
We are always on the lookout for more players and are looking into running a reserves team in the next couple of seasons. Currently we are playing at Barkway Road Ground (Barkway) while we look for the possibility of moving back to Barley in the future so if your at a loose end on a Sunday morning why not come and support us?
(N.B. Editor's note: Barley Parish Council are actively, investigating the best way to supply the required changing facilities which will allow our football team to return to their rightful ground!)

Barley Village has previously organised the ordering of central heating oil in quantity by combining the needs of individual households to the extent that a full tanker of oil can be delivered on the same day. This has resulted in a small, but very worthwhile, saving in the cost of oil/litre. It can make a substantial difference when ordering - say - 1,000 litres to fill a Central Heating oil tank. The minimum delivery is required (by law) to be 500 litres; customers are invoiced directly and delivery is organised (currently) on four occasions each year.

This is the area in the centre of the village which serves as a play and sports centre and a focus for outdoor village events. There is a committee dedicated to raising money to provide and maintain facilities. Any offers of help are welcome.
Back in 1996, we held a 'plebicite' to see what the Villagers of Barley wanted on their Plaistow. The results were as follows:-
The easiest (and cheapest) was the Football Pitch and that was completed first. The Children's Playing area was then completed in 1998.
The Tennis Courts is be available during daylight hours, 365 days per year to ALL Barley Villagers for £3 per game. You will NOT need to be a member to make use of the courts . However, members will have the benefit of:-
 | No charges for a game |
| Ability to book the courts up to 2 weeks in advance |
| A key to the courts |
A One Year Family Membership can be bought for £35! You will be welcome to bring (accompany!) 'guests' (non-members who live outside Barley) for an additional fee of £1 per game.
Firstly, I'd like to give my thanks to all my colleagues who have helped in the past, too numerous to mention by name.
Secondly, I'd like to thank the current team, the 'high profile members' of which are Mary Plowman, Richard Emerson, William Wells, Phil Smith and Dick Bridgewood. Thank you for all your hard work and support!
Thirdly, we owe a debt of thanks (and money!) to Mullocks Wells Estate Agents for their financial backing along with the Barley Parish Council; without either of whom, the 'cash flow' problems of this project would have defeated us.
Fourthly, we must stress the fact that we could not have done it without those of you who have donated your time, money and support towards the facilities by way of gifts and your willingness to get involved with all the fund raising
Finally, I'd like to thank all the official bodies who have helped and financed our project as follows:-
| Barley Parish Council |
| Playing Fields Association (our 'partners' in the ownership of the land) |
| The Hertfordshire Community Foundation |
| Hertfordshire Environmental Landfill Partnership, administered by Groundwork Hertfordshire. |
| North Herts. District Council ("Parish Challenge") |

(Note from Club Secretary)
The club has been in existence for over fifteen years and was formed following the tremendous response given by the public to an exhibition organized by the Royston Community Association early in 1987. Originally we met at the Community Centre in Royston prior to moving to the Town House Barley in late 1987.
The club normally meets every Fridays upstairs in the Town House from 8.00 to 10.30pm. Please check with the Secretary before coming along as The Town House is sometimes used for other functions.
The club and members are involved in the building of model railway layouts in all the major scales for their own enjoyment and have exhibited their layouts at Model Railway Exhibitions all over the South East & East Anglia over the last ten years or so. We also organize an annual exhibition to promote the hobby in November at Meridian School, Garden Walk, Royston.
Whether you are an experienced modeller, just starting in the hobby or returning to the hobby after a period of absence all are welcome to the club. Come along and give us a look over. No obligation to join the club. If you want further information or confirmation the we are meeting on a Friday please contact
