Brigg Tourist Information Centre - at the Buttercross - is the place to go to get your tickets for Wish Me Luck, a 1940s night being held to celebrate VE Day by Brigg Amateur Social Historians (BASH).
The event will be on Friday, May 7 at Brigg Servicemen's Club, Coney Court, and feature Paula Baldwin's Shiny Stockings Swing Band, plus other attractions. Tickets are £15, including buffet.
This annual event always proves very popular, and folk are being encouraged to attend in war-time dress/uniform.
BASH's next monthly meeting will be on March 2 at the Servicemen's Club, when Josie Webb and Pat Parkinson will present an illustrated talk called A Nostalgic Journey Round Brigg.

Even went to the Black Bull to get a pint of Sergeants....but they've sold out. Got to wait until the next batch is ready.
