MAJOR SPORTS EVENT IN BRIGG TODAY - THE ANCHOLME HEAD 2017 RACE

There's a major sports event on in Brigg today - Sunday, October 8, 2017.
It's the annual Ancholme Head Race, from Broughton Bridge along the river into Brigg.
Crews will be assembling at Ancholme Rowing Club's boathouse, off Manley Gardens, from 10.30am.
If you want to go and watch them setting off down river, we suggest using the County Bridge or the towpath near the B&M store.
Or you can walk down towards Broughton Bridge to see them in action.
There should be plenty to see on the river up to about 3pm, with all the crews - men's and ladies - making their way back to the boathouse.
There will be entrants from many clubs across Lincolnshire, the north and midlands, plus competitors from Ancholme RC. 
The Ancholme Head takes place annually on the second Sunday in October.
