50 NOT OUT

A surprise cake was produced by Black Bull landlady Amber Smith (Sykes) last night as two well-known Brigg people celebrated their 50th birthdays.
Simon Fisher and Linda North were in the Wrawby Street hostelry during the Tuesday quiz.
Simon, who is a former Brigg Town cricketer and one of the select band to have performed the hat-trick during a league match, also went home with a 'booby prize' party bag of Smarties, as a member of the quiz team which finished last.
Linda (nee Pottage) is married to Martin North, former Brigg Amateurs footballer and ex-licensee and club steward in the town.
The quiz was won by the team overseen by George Dyer, the town's fire chief, but Col Mumby missed out on the chance to cash in on the rollover when, after his ticket had been drawn, he failed to come up with the right answer about points gained by British Formula One racing drivers.
