IN GOOD VOICE

Brigg Amateur Operatic Society has been entertaining show-lovers in our district for more than a century, its interesting history being chronicled, in great detail, by Peter Bell in an excellent book not so long ago (Brigg Library will have a copy if you haven't seen it).
One of the features of annual shows down the decades has been Civic Night, when Brigg town councillors attend a performance and are joined by civic leaders from other towns and villages in the area.
This was done on a Wednesday - but a recent switch to Thursday has proved beneficial, and that is now to be made a permanent alteration, as a matter of policy by Brigg Town Council.
The main benefit is avoiding a clash with various Wednesday meetings involving town/parish councillors in Brigg and surrounding villages.
Proposing the change to have Thursday Civic Operatic Evenings, Town Mayor Coun James Truepenny (pictured) said the latest one had been "a full house, enjoyed by all."
