G'DAY, SPORTS - AUSTRALIA DAY MARKED IN BRIGG

Simon Church - Briggensian and former Brigg Town Cricket Club batsman 

We've just passed a flagpole in a Brigg garden which carries the flag of Australia - January 26 being Australia Day. Today's strong wind has wrapped the flag around the pole, and it's wet and chilly in North Lincolnshire. Try not to think about the sun and high temperatures they will be enjoying Down-Under.
Brigg Blog will take this opportunity to thank all our followers in Australia, including old Brigg Town Cricket Club team-mate Simon Church, who has a business in the Perth area. He's a former Sir John Nelthorpe School pupil and grew up in Barnetby. Many Brigg folk will remember him well.
