There was some good music being played on Saturday night in the Woolpack and Dying Gladiator pubs in Brigg town centre - if you are a middle-aged pub-goer and savour The Sounds of the Seventies.
Earlier, down at the Black Bull, we enjoyed what turned into something of a Brigg Hockey Club reunion - totally unplanned. It was good to see Keith Smith and Val Jeffrey teaming up again.
How many goals did the duo score for Brigg with their well-worked short corner routine?
Discussions at two of the hostelries turned to the contents of a recent column we penned for the Brigg page of the Scunthorpe Telegraph which mentioned well-known families of the 1960s and 1970s who lived in Hawthorn Avenue.
It was heartening to know that half-a-dozen paragraphs created such interest.
Returning to "The Woolie" there's Stone's Bitter on tap - a tipple some of us sampled for the first time in the '70s. They had it in the old Queen's Arms for many years, we recall.
During our next Saturday night sortie/trip down memory lane we plan to drop in at the Britannia and the White Horse.
Is it a sign of advancing years that it now takes us several weekends to visit the pubs we once toured in the same night?
