£10,000 AVAILABLE TO BRIGG GROUPS

Brigg Town Mayor Coun James Truepenny delivered his  report to the Annual Town Meeting in the Angel Suite, during which he highlighted sporting and cultural successes of the previous 12 months.
He also explained how £10,000 is being made available to help local organisations.
The Town Mayor said: "When the Town Council budget was set in January, the concensus of opinion was that there needed to be a larger pot of money to enable the Town Council to support local voluntary organisations with their work for the Brigg Community. As a result the budger for grants and donations was raised from £1,500 to £10,000.
He added: "This year the Town Council has made donations to St John's Church Hall for the purchase of a newe cooker for the refurbishment of the hall. A donation has also been made to St John's Singers for the purchase of a replacement keyboard.
"Finally, a donation has been made to Brigg Bowls Club to help fund ground works for disabled access to the bowling green.
"The town can also be proud of some superb sporting achievements this year. Both the Koku Ryu Karate and the Wado Ryu Karate Clubs go from strength to strength with some magnificent achievements at national and international levels.
"The Under 12 teams of Brigg Town Junior Football Club made it through to the semi-finals of the Lincolnshire Cup, having faced teams in four other rounds. They lost to Market Deeping Rangers on Sunday, 6th March. Nevertheless, this is a great achievement.
"The U14, U15 and U16 teams at Brigg Netball Club are all league champions this season."
