BRIGG TREE OF LIGHT NEW YEAR SERVICE


The Brigg Tree of Light, in Chapel Court, has proved very popular, with many people placing messages on it - in memory of loved ones - in the run up to Christmas.
The tree will be taken down on Friday, January 6 when an informal service will be held and include reading out the names of people contained in a special book opened for this purpose.
Please note that this service will take place at 4pm and NOT at 6pm as suggested in some publicity material. Local folk are, of course, very welcome to attend the service.
Our picture shows the tree when it was first put in place, since when many more messages have been added as part of this welcome Brigg Town Business Partnership initiative.
We hope the weather on January 6 is kinder than it was when the tree was launched and everyone attending, including Father Owain Mitchell, had to endure some of the heaviest rain of 2016!
