BAR GAMES FOLLOW BRIGG CHARITY FOOTBALL FUNDRAISER AT THE HAWTHORNS


More than £400 was raised for charity by the annual Youth v Experience football match, played at Brigg Town's ground just after Christmas, organiser Jon Taylor tells us.
This friendly was followed by 'bar games' in the Hawthorns clubhouse - including heading a ping-pong ball.
Additional cash has been pledged by various people, and we hope to let you know the final total in due course.
It looks like being close to £500 - judging by some comments we've seen on social media.
Well-known local sportsmen supporting this fundraiser on Friday, December 27 included Ryan Musselwhite, Chris Rodgers, David Baggott, Paul Neal, Nick Beacock and Col Mumby who had just turned 70.
Live music was provided by Shine UK at the Woolpack last night (Saturday, December 28).
They were nearing the end of their gig when we called in to take the picture seen here. Regulars at The Woolie enjoyed the music provided.
It was very busy in the bar at the Black Bull, on Wrawby Street, when we called in earlier (about 8pm) so we ventured into the covered seating area at the back to enjoy our pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord.
The weather having been mild of late, Brigg Blog's plans to photograph snow settled on the palm trees in the Bull's beer garden will have to go on the back burner until 2020. 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
