BRIGG SCHOOL PUPILS TO BE RE-UNITED OVER DINNER

An interesting talk is in prospect for former Brigg school pupils attending their annual reunion dinner.
The Briggensians' Association - representing former pupils of Sir John Nelthorpe School, Brigg Girls' High, Brigg Grammar and Brigg Sixth Form College - will be holding its 41st annual get-together at Elsham Golf Club on Saturday, March 17, 2018 (7pm for 7.30pm).
Guest speaker will be Dr Anne Rae, head of genetics research with famous Lincolnshire duck-breeding specialist Cherry Valley.
A former pupil of St Mary's in Brigg, she attended Sir John Nelthorpe School from 1986 to 1991 before moving into higher education.
Those wishing to attend the dinner should note that the closing date for applications is Friday, March 2.
Tickets cost £22.50p. Cheques made payable to the Briggensians' Association should be sent in an envelope marked The Briggensians' Dinner Secretary to Sir John Nelthorpe School, Wrawby Road, Brigg, DN20 8DS.
In case you were wondering, duck is not on the menu! The main course options are roast beef, herb-crusted cod or cannelloni with spinach and ricotta.
A survey is being held this year to see whether Briggensians are satisfied with holding the annual dinner in mid-March.
Would more people attend if the event was later in the year, such as April, May or even during the summer?
There's no reference to the long-standing venue - Elsham Golf Club - in the survey.
This has proved a popular meeting place for the reunion.
