PICTURES OF BRIGG COMMUNITY AWARD WINNERS

After Brigg Blog posted the names of the people who are to receive the  Joseph J. Magrath O.B.E. Award for Public Voluntary Service to Brigg during 2016, it struck us that not everyone in the town might recognise the winners from their names. So here are some pictures to assist.
Although this Brigg Town Council award is usually made to an individual,  the high standard of nominees meant that councillors, on this occasion, decided it should be shared equally by serveral community-minded people.
Chris Darlington – for his continued support for the Brigg Community over many years, including his activities in support of LIVES, Brigg Town Business Partnership, Brigg Live Arts, Rotary Club and various music festivals.
