NEW YEAR SING-SONG

By Pat Parkinson, Brigg and District Social Historians

The January 5 BASH meeting at Brigg & District Servicemen’s Club was “Sing to Win” with Elly Dolan, who sang patriotic songs that helped to win the war. They were interspersed with original radio broadcasts from that era and ended with a rip-roaring, flag-waving finale of Land of Hope and Glory. Despite the poor turn out because of the bad weather it was a really fun, enjoyable evening.

Pictured are, left to right: Val Holland, Elly Dolan, Brian Denison - as the
Andrews Sisters, singing Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else
but Me.
The February BASH meeting will be The History of Iron & Steel Making in
Scunthorpe - an illustrated talk by Steve Cook, a retired Corus employee,
who will be looking back at how ironmaking began in the Scunthorpe area.
