I was reading with interest an article in the Grimsby Telegraph about The Legion stepping out on a fundraisng mission March 26th.

Although Mr lorraine and Mr Inkson will not be able to do the walk due to ill health, i still think that a big thank you or some aknowledgement would have been in order ,for all the time and effort they had put in, to get this walk off the ground.

Keelby Twinning Association is this year celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its twinning arrangement with Maisdon-sur-Sevre, a village near Nantes in Western France. Maisdon is in a wine producing area and makes "Muscadet Sevre a Maine". Consequently, on visits to Maisdon, much wine is normally consumed. The strength of the association between the two villages has grown over the years, such that last Easter 73 people from Keelby went to Maisdon, and this year, Keelby is to accommodate 80 residents of Maisdon in members’ homes.

As a young lad growing up in Grimsby during the 1970's, my early musical aspirations were forged by all the wonderful bands that were around town at the time. Does anyone remember the Brothers band? are any of them still around now i often wonder? what became of those wonderful musicians like Steve Newby and Mick Mortimer, Alex Bontoft et al? One thing is certain, they instilled in me something that would never go away, and they never even knew about it!

Walking from Laceby towards Swallow, The snow falling heavily no grit on the roads cars going sideways round Laceby roundabout What a scene!

As we aproached Irby top Cars were struggling to get up the hill, so we took it upon ourselves to use the salt bins and grit the road by hand , not one car that stopped had a shovel.

Hopefully we helped to get people up the hill and stopped any serious accidents.
