Word reaches us that well-known sportsman Val Jeffrey, now living in the far south-west, has returned to Brigg for a short spell, and that he was due to attend last night's annual dinner of Brocklesby Park Cricket Club.
Val hails from a very well-known Brigg family - I seem to recall they had a butcher's shop years ago.
Educated at Glebe Road School and Brigg Grammar, he was a very good hockey player with Brigg, and (during the summer months) a notable performer with the bat.
He was a teacher in Barton-Upon-Humber for many years, and lived at the junction of Bigby Road and Westrum Lane, Brigg, near the level crossing.
Our picture shows Val (left) with cricketing colleagues Josh White, John Brumby and Keith Smith during the Brocklesby Park Cricket Club dinner, held at Oliver's, in Bigby Stret, Brigg, in March, 1998.
