THAT'S YOUR LOT: The Ashdown Club in Scunthorpe is to break new ground by hosting weekly auctions every Tuesday, starting on March 26 at 6.30pm. Club spokesman David Sanderson said the doors would open from 2pm for viewing and lots would be sold free of any commission. In another new move, the Ashdown is also set to throw its doors open to guests one Saturday a month for late-night soul and Motown nights, starting on April 13.
TOP OF THE HOUSE: Congratulations to Anthony Johns, who at the age of 25 has become the youngest-ever operations manager at the Gala Bingo Club, Scunthorpe, since its opening in 1996. Father-of-one Anthony is a handy man to have around if there is a leak in the building, as he originally trained as a plumber. And well done also to William and Debby Jackson, who are celebrating 10 years in charge
at the Bird in The Barley, Messingham. The village local was built in 1987 by local builder John Slingsby. It was later sold for an undisclosed sum to Marston’s Brewery.
TWO YEARS AT THE HELM: Richard and Val Revell are celebrating two years in charge of the Jolly Sailor, Gunness.

“I wrote the trip advisor review after being treated like scum for complaining the rooms were mouldy and beds broken. Hope your not painting over mould like the last renovation.i have stayed in African no star places that were cleaner and healthier. Maybe when you have finished you could invite me to stay in a room for the night and I will happily write a new review. Have many years of happy memories at the bridge hotel really hope it improves!”

“I'd rather sleep on a park bench under newspaper than pay £50 to stay at The Bridge. It was lovely when it was new but now look at it; they should pull it down along with the old Post Office which has also been neglected for years.”

“Just a question.The former Poacher on Marsden Drive is in the process of demolition.Well I say in the process as the roof and windows have been removed leaving just the building shell.No further work seems to have been done over the last 2 weeks so what is happening here?”
