14 PICTURES & REPORT: BRIGG GROUP PROVIDES FREE CHRISTMAS TEA FOR DOZENS OF GUESTS


Dozens of people were invited along to the Angel Suite in Brigg by a local group to enjoy an early Christmas tea, with entertainment, on Saturday (November 27).
The community event pictured here was hosted by members of the Brigg Angels WI (Women's Institute) who gave up their time to organise a get-together which went ahead despite the bad weather caused by Storm Arwen.
In addition to drinks and the festive fare served up by volunteers, visitors enjoyed free games of bingo (the caller being Brigg's Coun Rob Waltham), performances by the Musilova Dance School and entertainment provided by WI members.
The guests each received a Christmas gift to take home with them.
WI president Donna Dobbs has asked Brigg Blog to thank all the volunteers for giving up so much of their time.
In September we reported that Brigg Town Council had agreed a generous grant to support this function.
Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters Magazine, attended on Saturday afternoon with his camera and has kindly shared these pictures from the event during which there was cheering in support of the NHS.
Ken said the Angels WI formed eight years ago and this was their sixth Christmas 'do' - 'Covid lockdown' having resulted in a gap in their community events until Saturday's resumption.
