SHOULD BRIGG OPEN AIR CONCERT BE ARRANGED NEXT YEAR?

Concerts for the public to enjoy formed part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations held recently in Brigg. So how about considering something similar next year?
During Brigg Town Council's latest meeting, held in the Angel Suite Lounge on Tuesday evening, Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker congratulated and thanked those who had organised the wide-ranging four-day Platinum Jubilee celebrations, including Town Clerk Kerry McGrath.
He was pleased to report "a real success story" with good events and performers.
The only downside was the Sunday weather.
Local singers Rachel Day and Mash (Ian Baxter) performed popular hits on a large covered stage.
But cool conditions and the threat of rain meant many people who might have attended, and taken along picnics, instead stayed at home.
There was also an evening service and concert, originally planned to be held outdoors but switched to St John's Church.
The council meeting heard a repeat concert suggestion from the public in respect of 2023. The Town Clerk said there been some really positive feedback about the Platinum Jubilee.
These celebrations also included free rides on the River Ancholme provided by Glanford Boat Club. And Brigg Blog thinks more of these next year would prove popular and be appreciated by the public.
We noted a Saturday morning queue at the pick-up point - a jetty near the Ancholme Way Bridge - as people awaited the boat's arrival.
