BASH was founded in October 2003. Its objective is to promote an interest and awareness in the local social history of Brigg and its surrounding areas, and to support traditional and historical events in its locale.

We have a variety of speakers covering a wide range of topics. We hold our meetings on the first Tuesday of each month (except for June, July and August) at the Brigg & Districts Servicemen's Club, Coney Court Brigg.

Meetings start at 20:00, there is no membership and the admission is free. We hold a raffle to defray our costs and a light buffet it provided. All are welcome to attend.

Fri 4th May '12 - "A Sentimental Journey..."

The BASH annual 1940s night VE Day celebration, "A Sentimental Journey...", took place on Friday, 4th May 2011 at Brigg & District Servicemen’s Club, Coney Court, Brigg.

Sun 27th Nov '11 - November Ghost Walk

The BASH Ghost Walks, of 27 November 2011, were led by Pat Parkinson and Brian Denison to and from the White Horse in Brigg.

The two groups were told some the many tales that BASH collected. These stories of the numerous ghosts that are said to haunt Brigg were, where possible, connected with the known history of the town.
