On the 22nd. July, 2000, Barwick-in-Elmet held a gala as part of its
Millennium celebrations. The activities started at 11.00 am with a Millennium
family service at All Saints Parish Church.
Due to inclement weather conditions, the sports activities had to be
postponed for two weeks. All the other items, however, were held in Barwick
Village Hall when the gala was officially opened by a jester at 2.00 pm, with
the parish church bells being rung by the village bell ringers.
The Village Hall became the focal point as most of the village
organisations took part in the event with displays and entertainment. The
Historical Society display, depicting our varied activities, attracted a large
degree of interest and we sold a good number of our publications. We hope
that several visitors to the display were inspired by our activities enough to
want to join the Society.
The whole gala, including the outdoor events, attracted a large number of
people both young and old, most of whom voted the gala a great success.
