Youth of Barton, the group of young people set up to create the successful bid for new facilities at Collinson Park recreation ground, are running a fund raising Cyclathon through the village on Saturday 22 May.

Aiming to raise at least £500 from this family fun sponsored ride, the 3.75 mile event starts from the Youth Centre in Dunstall Road at 10.00 and is expected to finish about 1 p.m.  Tea & coffee refreshments will be available at the Youth Centre and at selected venues around the Road Safety Partnership approved & marshalled road course.

Supported by Staffordshire Police and Emergency services the fun event is open to cyclists of all ages and abilities.  Entrance fees are £1.50 per adult and £0.50 per child. Fees and money raised will be held securely by John Taylor High School until needed.

Please come and join in the fun (and get some fresh air and weight watching exercise!) and help our young people put something back into the village for future generations to enjoy.

Thursday 27^th May will see our local Morris dancers entertaining with toe-tapping music and stick clashing exciting dances outside two village pubs when Uttoxeter Heart of Oak Morris pay their annual visit to Barton under Needwood.

Uttoxeter Morris perform traditional English dances from the Cotswolds and from Lichfield and are currently enjoying growing numbers following the success of their Staffordshire County Council funded free evening classes and recruitment campaign. We’re always on the look-out for new recruits! Could it be that day’s full moon that sets us off?

How about bringing friends and family to see this colourful show and give Uttoxeter Morris a big welcome to our historic & vibrant village of Barton?  After our show at the Royal Oak we’re hoping to bring some impromptu folk music and singing to the Bar to complete the evening.

Uttoxeter Morris will be dancing at the Shoulder of Mutton in the village centre at 7.45 p.m. and the Royal Oak, Barton Green at 8.45 p.m. on Thursday 27^th May.
