N Lincs Dog Warden on Twitter announces that a free dog microchipping session will be held in Brigg from 11am to 3pm on Thursday, September 25 in the Old Courts Road car park.
Last time they did free chipping it proved hugely popular.
Make a note of the date and save yourself a good few quid.
Chipping dogs is going to become a legal requirement. It helps the authorities identify dogs and find their owners.

CHANGE OF NAME FOR BRIGG LANE
Andrea Dickinson, who has been reading Brigg Blog, says: "I am one of the many thousands researching their family tree. In doing so I
am also interested in the social lives of my ancestors.
"I know I do not live in the area but just out of interest I thought I would
let you know my 4x great grand uncle John Quipp (born 1775) lived on Quipps Lane,
Brigg, re. the 1841 census.
"According to the council minutes 1869, showing street renaming in Brigg,
Quipps Lane became Market Lane.
"From what I have been able to find so far, it would appear this area has
been completely redeveloped so I have no idea what it looked like in days gone
by."
Maybe someone who follows Brigg Blog will have pictures that many help Andrea by showing this part of town during the second half of the 19th century.

BRIGG PUMP DRESSING, MORRIS DANCING & MUSIC IN THE TOWN CENTRE - PICTURES BY KEN HARRISON
 |
| Dancing in the Brigg Market Place Bandstand |
Brigg Town Business Partnership hosted the annual Pump Dressing ceremonies in the town centre on Saturday. There was dancing and music to accompany the floral bedecking of the surviving communal water pumps in Bridge Street and Grammar School Road South, which provided townsfolk with their supplies before taps in houses became the norm.
The event also marked the 100th anniversary of the Brownies.
Among those taking part were the Grimsby Morris Men, the Bootleggers and the Tatterfoals. Our thanks, as ever, are extended to Ken Harrison for some fine and varied pictures from the event.
