SET FAIR TO CHANGE

Brigg's biggest event of the year has changed its name.
At last night's annual meeting of the Brigg Upgraded Summer Society, held in the meeting room above Hardy’s Bar, off Market Place, renaming August's annual Brigg Fair was discussed and it was agreed by all present to adopt the title Brigg Fair Fair 4 All.
The group's officers remain unchanged: Charles Brindley, chairman; Sarah Angel, secretary; Kevin McLoughlin, treasurer.
Afterwards the organisation thanked Brigg-based Sgt Liz Staff for attending and for her input which was described as very useful.
Charles Brindley says they will keep 'all agencies informed as and when we have news of the detail for the Brigg Fair Fair 4 All 2008'.
For further details contact him on (01652) 678176.
It's a big task running an event like Brigg Fair (now with the added Fair 4 All part), which draws thousands to the town centre for our showpiece summer event. And the town owes a great debt of thanks to the small number of volunteers who keep this ancient tradition going. The town gained its fair and market charter way back in the 13th century.
