HISTORIC BRIGG CLUB CELEBRATING 150TH ANNIVERSARY

 

Founded during Queen Victoria's reign in 1868, historic Ancholme Rowing Club in Brigg is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The club, with impressive headquarters and boathouse off Manley Gardens, beside the Old River Ancholme,  will be holding some extra events to mark the milestone.
Plans include a dinner dance, a rowing event in early May, the river festival on  May 26 and a BBQ the following day.

The rowing club is believed to have moved to Manley Gardens in the 1880s.
