Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters Magazine, took these fine pictures at the Christmas lights switch-on ceremony, District Lions' Fair and late night shopping evening on Friday, November 30, 2018. He has very kindly shared them with Brigg Blog.
They show Scunthorpe pantomime stars, including Annie Fanny, who entertained the sizeable crowd before the illuminations came on, local school choristers, staff from Brigg businesses, Santa and people of all ages who enjoyed this major spectator event.
Watch out for coverage in the next issue of the community magazine.

| The real Father Christmas, personally sponsored by John Reid of John Reid's Transport, Atherton Way, amongst a group of excited youngsters at the sitting room grotto in Brigg Heritage Centre. All the children promised to be very, very good after each gave Santa a long list of toys and gifts. His reindeer were having something to eat and resting at the Millennium Green park! |

| Rather serious-looking local solicitor, Mike Johnson, left, next to locally well-known traditional and caricature painter, Stephen Hill, at his stall. Stephen's paintings capture the local characters and the ambience of the not-too-far recent past, in the living memory of some, within Brigg. He now lives in Gloucestershire. |

| Potentially courageous and intrepid pupils from Sir John Nelthorpe School use their entrepreneurial skills to raise funding for their planned 2020 educational and working expedition to Nepal - a county with eight of the world's top 10 highest mountains - and one of the few countries, like the UK, which drives on the left. |
Just to clarify, Nige....the so-called next publication of Brigg Matters, Winter issue, is out now.....some of the Crimbo snaps will appear in the Spring edition.
ReplyDeleteI would like to add that it takes about 4 weeks to finally edit, compile, despatch to the printers and then count-out and primary distribute BM to pur valiant team of house-to-house deliverers.
We are all unpaid volunteers, keen to promote Brigg and it's community of local villages....and because of the team's commitment, BM has become a very professional-looking magazine.
We have a 5000 print-off with Brigg, Wrawby, Cadney and Howsham having house/business to house coverage.
Batches of Brigg Matters are left in the TIC, Tesco and Brigg Garden Centre a week, or so after the routine deliveries have been complete, for folks who visit Brigg, but do not receive a house-to-house copy.
The quality and contents of the magazine depends on individuals and groups alerting the BM team of events and/or submitting interesting articles. (Folks shouldn't worry if their writing skills are a little weak...it's the contents that counts and grammar/and spelling can be improved with our editing process.)
BM is a self-financing magazine; our adverts (very reasonable rates) support its publication.
Finally, my I take this opportunity to wish all our team - the committee (each has a significant role) and our army of house-to-house deliverers, as well as BM 's readers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2019.
Hello every one out here....
ReplyDeleteMy name is CLARA BAMBI , I'm from North Carolina USA. i want to use this opportunity to thank my great spell caster who really made my life a pleasurable today. This great man PRIEST WISDOM brought my husband back to me, i had three lovely kids for my husband, about four years ago i and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i should not worry about it at all, so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i deed them all, he told me to wait for just two day and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully deed what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away,since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy.that's why i want to say a big thank you to PRIEST WISDOM . This great man made me to understand that there is no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at: supernaturalspell1@gmail.com And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2348124644470 Thanks PRIEST WISDOM
