WES ALLISON: THANKSGIVING SERVICE FOR FORMER CAISTOR & BRIGG SPORTSMAN


A service of thanksgiving for the life of former Caistor and Brigg cricketer, Dennis 'Wes' Allison, will be held on Wednesday,  July 29.
A short service at the Caistor Sports Ground will take place at 11.50am for friends and family - social distancing to be observed. A family service will follow at Grimsby Crematorium.
Donations to Caistor Junior Cricket Club, in memory of Wes, can be made out to Caistor Cricket Club and may be left on the day or sent to J. W. Varlow & Sons, 92 North Street, Caistor, LN7 6QU.
One of the great characters of Lincolnshire cricket, left-arm pace bowler Wes spent all his lengthy career with the Caistor club apart from 1974 when he played for Brigg Town and helped them secure the Grimsby League Division Three championship.
This was Brigg's first season since the club was re-established following a gap of 30 years. Home games were played at the Recreation Ground, where Wes was pictured above in 1974.
