BRIGG WHEELBARROW RACE MEMORIES

Brigg has seen a good many wheelbarrow races down the decades, with pairs touring the town to down ale at the pubs and raise money for charity.
The aptly-named village of Barrow-on-Humber has something slightly different which maybe Brigg might try as a community event.
Entries are now open for the 5th Better Barrow Community Project Wheelbarrow and Village Garden Weekend.
The first weekend in June - 4th and 5th - will see a host of decorated barrows around the village and a number of gardens open to visitors. 
Entry to the competition is free and there will be prizes for the judge's winner and runner-up and for the "people's choice".  Local TV and radio broadcaster Amanda White has once again agreed to judge the wheelbarrows.
Maps showing the location of the barrows and gardens will include a raffle ticket for prizes to be drawn on the Sunday and also a voting slip for visitors' favourite barrow.
Various attractions in the Market Place include buskers, a woodcarving demonstration, a barbecue, entertainment by Nutty Norman for the children on Saturday afternoon and performances by Barrow Band on Sunday.
The newly formed Barrow Women's Institute will be serving teas in the Village Hall and refreshments will also be available in some of the gardens.
Last year, there were 90 entries and a dozen open gardens and forms for both can be obtained from Barrow News or by e-mailing betterbarrow@gmail.com
The closing date for entries is May 13th.
