FREE-TO-ENJOY BRIGG TALK WILL RECALL CORONATIONS OVER THE CENTURIES


Brigg Amateur Social Historians have sent us details of the group's next meeting, to be held at Brigg & District Servicemen's Club, Coney Court.
It will take place on Tuesday, October 4, from 8pm, and will have a royal flavour - looking at Coronations down the centuries since the Norman King, William The Conquerer, in 1066 (on Christmas Day in London).
Marilyn Roberts will give an illustrated talk, Don't Look Now Ma'am.
Amid the pomp and splendour, there has never been a perfect Coronation; things have not always proceeded "like clockwork," BASH says.
There's an open invitation to attend all the group's monthly meetings at the Servicemen's Club licensed venue, and no need to book in advance. Just turn up on the night.
Everyone will be made welcome on October 4, and a raffle will be held.
BASH was founded in 2003 - originally meeting at the White Horse pub, on Wrawby Street - long before it was refurbished by Wetherspoon's.
Some meetings were later held at the Ancholme Inn, on Grammar School Road (since demolished).  BASH has now been meeting at the Servicemen's Club for many years.
