BLIGHTY BELLES PERFORM NOSTALGIC SONGS AT BRIGG CLUB'S 100th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS


A good time was had by all who attended the 100th anniversary celebrations at the Brigg & District Servicemen's Club on Saturday night (August 28).
Officials at the Coney Court venue arranged a special concert featuring the Blight Belles singers (pictured) who performed many nostalgic songs from past decades stretching back as far as the 1940s.
The trio did two 'spots' and some members of the audience took to the dance floor, particularly when hits of the 1950s and 1960s were being sung by the girls.
During the interval a fine and extensive buffet was provided for those who snapped up tickets in advance for a fiver - a bargain price for a good night out with supper included.
The raffle was also well supported with chocs, drinks and other prizes for the lucky winners.
Flags and banners featuring '100' were displayed around the concert room, including the stage. There was also colourful bunting above the entrance off Old Courts Road.
Veterans of the Forces were among those who attended.
This licensed club can trace its roots back to late 1920 but the lockdown emergency put the celebrations on hold last December. So the planned 'do' was re-timed for August bank holiday weekend 2021.
