BRIGG CLUB REACHES 100 YEARS' LOYAL SERVICE

Congratulations to Brigg & District Servicemen’s Club which was founded 100 years ago - on December 21, 1920 to be precise.
Sadly, with the Coney Court licensed premises currently under enforced lockdown on government orders during the Coronavirus emergency, there is no opportunity to raise a glass in celebration at present.
However, the committee is not planning to let this milestone pass without recognition and is looking to host something suitable next year, once Covid-19 is no longer an issue.
Our grandfather, Lincolnshire Regiment WW1 veteran Charles Taylor, was among the first members. We took him to the club for an afternoon pint in 1990 - a few weeks before he died, aged 93.
We've been a paid-up member at various periods since the mid-1980s, though we aren't currently on the roll.
So many enjoyable nights have been enjoyed at the club by so many people down the decades!
In view of the club's history and development, we've chosen to illustrate this post with pictures taken during a war-time night of nostalgia at Brigg SMC, organised some years ago by the BASH group, when many people donned uniform.
