ON-SONG BRIGG GROUP TO STAGE FUNDRAISER IN THE TOWN

A Brigg group which does great work supporting worthy causes in the area is to hold its first "face to face" public fundraising event since the Covid emergency began.
Brigg District Lions Club will be presenting A Country Music Night on Friday, May 6 at the Servicemen's Club, Coney Court.
Doors will open at 7.30pm, with the on-stage entertainment starting at 8pm in the concert room.
Tickets cost £6.50p and can be obtained by emailing briggdistrictlionsclub@gmail.com or calling 07725 021725.
"Brigg’s very own Darren Busby will be the headline act - supported by Dave Lesley," the Lions inform us.
The Lions have kindly provided this picture of the performers (seen above).
While on the subject of Brigg fundraising to help others, we've just received an update from the long-established local Pancreatic Cancer Action group.
Andrew Markham, Lesley Whitehead and Zoe Hall have been in touch "to thank the people of Brigg, once again, for their amazing generosity."
A collection undertaken during a recent Saturday Farmers' Market in the town centre - together with the proceeds of collection boxes located in the Black Bull pub, the Lord Nelson Hotel and at Brigg Town Football Club - raised £405.09p for the charitable cause.
"This will go towards helping patients of this horrible and aggressive form of cancer," the group explains.
"Pancreatic Cancer is very hard to diagnose and therefore has a very low survival rate."
Andrew, Lesley and Zoe are pictured below with the coveted civic trophy awarded to them a few years ago for public voluntary service in Brigg.
