ATTENDING THE BASH

Josie Webb, chairwoman of the very successful Brigg Amateur Social Historians group - better known as BASH - is finalising speakers for the monthly meetings this year.
She has now pencilled me in to talk on the Lincolnshire Times weekly newspaper on Tuesday, December 1 at Brigg Servicemen's Club, Coney Court (8pm).
It was more than five years ago when a talk on the Lincolnshire Times, delivered in the White Horse, launched BASH's monthly get-togethers.
The late, lamented weekly paper's office was at 57 Wrawby Street, Brigg, and it served our area from 1867 until its closure in 1985 - so there's a 25th anniversary coming up in 2010. Our graphic shows the front page of the final issue. A very sad day for all concerned.
