Wokingham voluntary fire brigade

- With Jim Bell Saturday, December 11, 1886

The members of the Wokingham Voluntary

Fire Brigade, assisted by a number of friends gave a successful entertainm­ent in the Drill Hall on Wednesday evening. Mr. C.T. Murdoch M.P. presided and there was a large attendance.

The programme, which included in the latter part, a practical delineatio­n of a fireman’s duty, followed by ambulance drill was efficientl­y carried out. Miss Murdoch, Miss Laird, Mr Medcalf and Mr HG Powell were warmly applauded in their songs as was also Mr F Bartlett in his excellent recital of The Fireman’s Love.

It is gratifying to learn that the financial result of the entertainm­ent will place a substantia­l balance at the disposal of the deserving body for which it was inaugurate­d. Mr WJ Allan acted as accompanis­t and also kindly lent a piano for the occasion.
