Only a few places left...

Good Evening,

Places are still available to come and join us for the launch of the Barrow 125 Exhibition at the Dock Museum this Friday 17th July. We are coming together between 4.30 and 6.30pm at The Dock Museum and would love to see you. The exhibition itself is on for the next few months too!

As well as the exhibition there will be a chance for various photographs and be among the first fans to see the Top 20 Barrow players of all time unveiled. Tea, coffee, Bluey and good company will be available and the opportunities to buy both Barrow AFC and Give Em Beans merchandise.

If you can, let us know you are coming by filling in this very short form. There is still room but it just helps with numbers.

We hope to see you there on Friday!

Kind Regards,

Well worth a visit, a nice exhibition in it’s own room of our 125 years as a club proudly opened at The Dock Museum this afternoon by Jean Arrowsmith.
Seeing Chappa’s scarf full of badges again almost brought a tear to my eye in particular.

I remember when the busses were Barrow Corporation, and for about a week before, they had adverts on the windows for every home game...

Good article in NWEM about the club over the years, including a number of photos from the paper.

On Friday 17th July the launch of the Barrow 125 Exhibition took place at the Dock Museum. Which saw the start of the 125 year celebrations of Barrow AFC.
The Exhibition was kindly opened by Jean Arrowsmith. Jean spoke fondly of the memories of her time watching and supporting Barrow and her late husband Brian.
A huge thank you to those who offered their pieces of Bluebirds history to be displayed within the pod, additional thank you to both The Dock Museum and members of the 125 team who's work to collate and organise the display was fantastic!
The display shall remain open till the 20th September.
Don't forget, your 1901 contributions this season are helping to contribute to the 125 year celebrations with a multitude of events to come. Join the 1901 club via the link below 👇
