Former Brigg resident Coun Peter Clark, in his role as the Mayor of North Lincolnshire, officially opened Brigg's Age UK Lindsey shop in October 2017.
The Vale Academy in Brigg recently staged a successful jobs fair.
This reminded us of a careers convention picture in our archive (seen above).
It was taken at Brigg Corn Exchange in the mid or late 1980s while we were on duty to inform young visitors about roles in the media.
Some members of local punk music band The Diseased were among those who dropped by for a chat, and that looks like drummer Ollie on the right.
Brian Taylor MBE used to attend these sessions as personnel officer for Glanford Borough Council, with Roger Jenman representing North Lincolnshire's major employer, the British Steel Corporation in Scunthorpe. Roger can be seen (top right) in the main picture above.
The Forces always attended - often Army, Navy and Royal Air Force on different stands. Universities and colleges were also represented.
Well-attended conventions at the Corn Exchange were organised by Brigg Rotary Club in conjunction with Sir John Nelthorpe School and Vale of Ancholme School (as it then was).
Rotarian Bill Horsfield played a key role in these events, helping young people who were often accompanied by their parents.
The more senior followers of Brigg Blog may well remember him as Chief Inspector Horsfield, head of the Brigg & Barton sub-division of Humberside Police.
Based at the town's then relatively new Barnard Avenue police station, he lived on O'Hanlon Avenue.
The local press always received a warm welcome from Bill and every assistance from him, his inspectors and sergeants at the reception desk, which reporters visited daily at 9.30am, including Saturdays, to collect information about local crimes.
This was long before emails, websites and social media.
Very little that was newsworthy in the Brigg area, in crime terms, failed to get into reporters' notebooks 40 years ago!
If local people got on the wrong side of the law for relatively minor offences back then, Bill presented the facts on behalf of the police at Brigg Magistrates' Court, off Wrawby Road.
"May it please your Worships" was a phrase often addressed to the magistrates (justices of the peace) as cases were outlined.
Most folk who had been charged admitted their offences, but sometimes 'not guilty' was the reply to court clerk Alan Booth's question, in which case there had to be a trial, with submissions by the prosecution, witnesses taking the stand and the defence solicitor having his or her say before the magistrates retired to consider their verdict.
An anxious wait then followed for the defendant before the three JPs returned, took their seats and the decision was announced in open court, followed by the sentence being announced by the presiding magistrate.
