SIGN UP TO HELP OUR HEROES

Tickets are still available for the special 1940s entertainment/lunch being organised by Brigg Town Council in the Angel Suite on Remembrance Sunday, November 14.
But hurry if you want to be there.
Tickets are £14, available from the Town Council Office, the Angel Suite (entrance off Exchange Place and the Market Place). Telephone 01652 659402 or email enquiries@briggmarkettown.co.uk
As regular Brigg Blog followers will know, the Town Council is currently paying to have our Monument (war memorial) refurbished, including the lettering.
It was finally decided at Monday's Town Council meeting that the letters should be done in gold, rather than black, following expert advice received from a stonemason.
The Town Council will oversee the traditional Remembrance Day parade, followed by a service and the procession to the newly-renovated Monument, where wreaths will be laid in memory of The Fallen.
However, this year, to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the ending of World War Two, the Town Council has arranged a special get-together and fundraiser, proceeds to be shared equally between the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and Help For Heroes.
Those attending will enjoy:
A warming lunch, comprising filling fare of the 1940s - stew and dumplings, followed by crumble and custard (vegetarian/diabetic options available on request).
ENSA singer Marlaina Rube (donating her time and talent).
The Angel Suite decorated in the style of a traditional street party of the period.
Music from The Kings of Swing.
A singalong to the Hits from the Blitz.
The Angel bar for those wanting liquid refreshment.
There will also be an auction, raffle and collection.
Guests are being encouraged to don 1940s dress, but this is optional.
The Town Council says: "We would very much like to see you here on the day. If you are unable to attend, but would still like to support these very worthy causes, any donations of prizes would be gratefully received at the Brigg Town Council office or we could collect if you can contact us prior to the event."
