Anyone, and everyone, interested in ensuring a worthwhile future for Brigg Town Cricket Club should attend a very important emergency meeting on Thursday (Aug 12) at the Nelthorpe Arms (Scanlon's), in Bridge Street (7.30pm).
Things have reached a real low point for various reasons and a meeting has been requested, which is being seen as a good time to sort things out. Hopefully, concerns the club may not survive in its current format can be allayed.
Brigg Town CC was an important one in Victorian and Edwardian times, folding during the Second World War but being re-formed for the 1974 season.
I played for them from then until retiring at the end of the 2004 season (774 games). Despite six years' umpiring since then I desperately want to see a town of our size still have cricket to offer youngsters and seniors, also.
That's why I've every intention of attending on Thursday, despite having nothing to offer on the playing side.
