PERFECT VENUE

Classes in ballroom dancing are being suggested for the New Year - the venue being Brigg's Angel Suite, formerly the ballroom in the decades of the town centre Angel Hotel.
Strictly Learn Dancing evening classes will start in January, dates yet to be announced. Call Laura on 07734 671400 for further details.
Many Brigg organisations used to hold annual dances at the Angel, the bowls club's New Year one being described at length by John Rhodes in his recently published book about growing up in Central Square during the 1930s.
Moving into the disco age, a number of sports clubs used the Angel for regular functions up to its demise, and I can recall attending hockey club dinners there in the 1980s, plus cricket club presentation nights in the mid-1970s.
Happy days!
