GUESTS OF HONOUR

By Ken Harrison

Guests of honour at the newly re-formed Brigg and District Royal British Legion Branch's pie & peas supper function at the Football Club were Poppy collection stalwart, Maureen Glossop, and her her husband Tom.
The function on Friday evening was the first social event held by the branch.
During the interval a number of celebrity items, such as a cricket bat and shirts signed by various members of the Eastenders cast were auctioned.
It was a good night for Maureen and Tom; not only did they win the raffle's star prize, on ticket 801, of a long-weekend in Nice - including flights - they also won a Black Bull meal voucher and received a bottle of 12 year matured single malt whisky.
The members appreciated Maureen's tireless efforts in organising poppy collections around Brigg and felt that the star prize could not have gone to a more deserving couple.
Money raised by Friday night's function will go towards the purchase of a Brigg & District Branch standard and to its charitable objectives.
The Branch holds meetings in the Black Bull on the last Wednesday of the month, starting at 7.30pm
