Former school friends are to be reunited in Brigg.
They are being asked to meet up at the Recreation Ground, off Wrawby Road, to play in, or support, a ladies' rounders match on Tuesday, July 5, from 6.30pm.
Such fixtures were staged annually for many years through the Briggensians' Association which represents former pupils and staff of Sir John Nelthorpe School, Brigg Girls' High and Brigg Grammar.
However, it is about four years since the last rounders match was possible.
Helen Cresswell, from the association, has asked us to help publicise the forthcoming fixture.
It is also hoped to play an evening cricket match during July between a team representing the Briggensians and a Sir John Nelthorpe XI.
The date for this fixture on the school field has yet to be confirmed.
Over last weekend it was heartening to see the Rec Ground being very well used.
On Saturday afternoon (June 25) Brigg Town hosted a league cricket match against Haxey, Brigg Town Football Club players took part in a training session (on grass) and two of the all-weather tennis courts were used for a 24-hour tournament in aid of charity. This continued until 10am on Sunday.
