LET'S HAVE YOUR DETAILS

We are busy compiling an up-to-date list of Brigg-based organisations and societies for www.thisisbrigg.co.uk
It would be very helpful if your club could email details so we can ensure you are included and the contact's name, telephone number and email address are all correct.
Putting the list together set me thinking about the many organisations which have passed into history, some connected with well-known characters in the town.
There was the Brigg Branch of the Grimsby Town Supporters' Club, which ran buses to home matches at Blundell Park for many years, under the watchful eye of Sam Briggs.
Remember Bill Shakespeare's good work for Brigg TocH? Or did you spend time at Brigg Reading Room?
On the sporting front we have lost Brigg Amateurs Football Club (running three Saturday teams at one time), Brigg Royales, Black Bull FC, Ancholme Valley Royales and Bowness and Gray FC, while Brigg Sugar Factory Cricket Club was there before the Town club was re-established in 1974.
Then there are events which have gone, such as the shows staged by Brigg Horticultural Society, although it still continues to hold regular meetings.
Still, let's be positive. There are many Brigg organisations doing good work and staging events people in the town enjoy attending, and hope to do so for many years to come.
Having an entry in the events list on www.thisisbrigg.co.uk will help spread the word and publicise what you are about.
So if you are connected with a Brigg organisation, please email details of contacts (telephone, email) plus a brief outline of the aims/function of the group to nigel.fisher@gsmg.co.uk
