MORE ON TOM'S TALK ABOUT BRIGG FAIR

Tom Glossop and wife Maureen at Brigg Horse Fair
Further details are now to hand about the Brigg Fair talk to be enjoyed during the next meeting of Brigg Amateur Social Historians (BASH) on Tuesday, February 4 at the Servicemen's Club, adjoining the main Old Courts Road car park (8pm start).
Speaker Tom Glossop - Freeman of Brigg and former long-serving town councillor - will trace the history of the fair and its influence on our town.
Admission is free, light refreshments will be provided and a raffle held to help towards costs.
You can find out more about BASH through this link to their website...
A big attendance can be expected on the night so our advice is to get there in plenty of time to ensure you get a good seat!
Brigg Fair is a popular folk song and also an August 5 spectator event with horses being bought and sold by travellers who arrive from a very wide area. Tom is a renowned folk singer.
