10TH ANNIVERSARY FOR BRIGG SHOP

This month sees a 10th anniversary for a well-known Brigg town centre shop.
Back in October 2008, Brigg Blog reported that the business  "known to scores of us just as The Spar Shop" had changed to being a Nisa Local outlet.
The switch at the Queen Street convenience store was highlighted in leaflets delivered to Brigg homes with the free Scunthorpe Target weekly newspaper.
The shop had  already been serving the public for a considerable time.
Brigg finished fourth, 10 years ago, in the best-kept small town/village competition organised by the Council for the Protection of Rural England.
Haxey won, but the contest was 'very close' with Brigg not many marks behind the top three.
Fresh Steps  teamed up with Fresh Start to develop a disused garden at Brigg Resource Centre, off Horstead Avenue, produce being  donated to the centre  and to The Forge in Scunthorpe to  provides meals for homeless people.
The Loft, on Wrawby Street,  had such a great response to its Lincolnshire menu in October 2008 that it continued the Lincolnshire Day theme celebrations for another week.
Brigg Amateur Operatic Society presented Crazy For You at the Vale of Ancholme Technology College's Westmoor Hall, on Grammar School Road, from October 28 to November 1.
Ten years ago this month, Brigg Blog reported that the new Coleman's Restaurant would be opening on Queen Street on  Friday, November 7, 2008.
