FUNDING THE 100th MUSIC & DRAMA FESTIVAL IN BRIGG


The 100th North Lincolnshire Music & Drama Festival looks set to receive funding from Brigg Town Council.
An application for a grant has been made  by the society which will be organising this landmark event, to be held in March and April 2020.
However, an important piece of information is required before a final decision can be made.
Coun Carl Sherwood told the council's October meeting that he welcomed the society's application and was all for it getting a grant. "But we need to know how much they want," he suggested to his colleagues.
Coun Mike Campion agreed. He said: "I think we would all be happy to give money to this organisation."
During its October meeting in the Angel Suite, the council agreed it was "mindful" to give a grant but first needed to know the sum required.
Once that is known, the matter will be re-considered at a future meeting.
Brigg's first festival was held in 1900 but there have been gap years since - for various reasons.
The closing date for entering classes in NEXT YEAR'S event is now fast approaching - November 26. Drama week will be from March 25 to 28, 2019 with music from April 1 to 4.
