NEW DATE ANNOUNCED FOR BRIGG DOWN THE DECADES HISTORY TALK FEATURING PICTURES FROM THE PAST

Brigg Blog has just received information about a free-to-attend event in the town which will draw a sizeable attendance. We have been asked to inform our many followers.
Josie Webb will be presenting Brigg Down The Decades - an illustrated talk - at Brigg & District Servicemen's Club, Coney Court, on Tuesday, May 3 (starting at 8pm).
This Brigg Amateur Social Historians (BASH) event could not take place last month due to Josie having Covid.
"Come and join us for an evening of nostalgia, and relive your memories with many old photos and some more recent one," BASH is telling local people.
Admission is free and there is no need to book tickets in advance or join BASH as a member; just turn up on the night.
Everyone is welcome and a raffle will be held to help with costs.
Josie and a few others were chatting about "old Brigg" over a pint or two one evening in the town's White Horse pub in 2003 when the then landlord showed an interest in the discussions.
He offered to put on some food (free of charge) for a night of nostalgia at the Wrawby Street hostelry.
The initial event proved so popular that others soon followed. And the rest, as they say, it history!
BASH will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next October.
