However, we understand that thanks have been extended from the event organisers to those who helped. And, at the monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council this week, the Town Mayor, Coun Carl Sherwood, suggested an official vote of thanks should go to the committee for overseeing the event.
The Town Council fully supported the Town Mayor's proposal: "On behalf of the community, the Town Council should place on record its thanks to the Brigg Diamond Jubilee Committee for all their hard work in organising the celebrations enjoyed in Brigg."
He added during the meeting in the Angel Suite: "I just cannot say enough about what the committee did in such a short space of time."
Coun Ben Nobbs, who chaired the Jubilee Committee, said the event would not have happened without the Town Council pledging a "case of need" grant of up to £2,000 "to allow things to get started." Further support had then come from North Lincolnshire Council. He said of the Jubilee Celebrations: "I think it was a good day."
The final figure for the cost of the event is not yet known, but it seems the amount Brigg Town Council will be requested to contribute will be well below £2,000.
The Diamond Jubilee event in Brigg was first mooted at a meeting in the New Year, with a heartening attendance at the initial public meeting. Many ideas for events were forthcoming over several months. Then came the hard work of putting everything in place for many townsfolk, of all ages, to enjoy on the big day as the Queen celebrated her 60th anniversary.
