Last night's Briggensians' Association dinner lived up to expectations, a good night being had by all.
It was great to meet up with old school chums and former Brigg Town Cricket Club colleagues Neil Marland, once of Westrum Lane, and Ross McFarlane (pictured). Plus Craig Benson, who recalled how Brigg 2nds once took only 14 balls to knock off the required runs away to Grimsby BRSA.
Following information provided by Roy Foreman, the well-known solicitor, I'm now hoping to track down his younger brother, Trevor, who was a classmate at Glebe Road School and Brigg Grammar, in the 1960s and early 1970s. Trev worked behind the scenes for some major rock bands, so hopefully he will have some interesting tales to tell when we finally meet up again.
Many older Brigg folk will remember Trev's and Roy's dad, police sergeant Ernie. The family lived in one of the police houses (still there) next to the old police station and court house.
See next Tuesday's Brigg Extra page in the Scunthorpe Telegraph and Thursday's Scunthorpe Target for a report and pictures from last night's dinner.
Ross McFarlane looks like the last of the Bistro kids!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood to see Neil is wearing his Brigg Sixth Form tie , you knew you had made it to the top when you aquired your 'prefects ' tie . Power beyond your wildest dreams.
ReplyDeleteWonder if he gave his rendition of ' Sparrows In The Treetops ' ?
