BRIGG TOURNAMENT WILL BE ON COURSE ONCE AGAIN WITH PAUL'S HELP


There isn't a formal job descriptIon for the civic role of Brigg Town Mayor - elected by members of the Town Council.
He, or she, needs to know about council procedures and rules (known as standing orders), be proficient at chairing meetings of the authority, and be prepared to attend many functions and events as the town's first citizen and official representative.
However, current holder of the post, Coun Brian Parker, has added something new to the credentials list... an interest in golf.
He recently hosted an inaugural fundraising tournament on the Elsham course, and donated a trophy for this purpose.
Coun Parker has since informed fellow councillors that local man Paul McCormick, who organised the Mayor's Golf Day 2022, is willing to do so again in the future.
Town Mayors can opt to have year-long appeal funds in aid of worthy causes they wish to support.
Cheques are presented when the civic year ends in May at Brigg Town Council's annual meeting.
Formally electing and installing the next Town Mayor then follows.
