The AGM held on Monday 22 March was very well attended. The Chairperson summarised the activities for 2016-2017, recognising the success of the lecture programme, the programme of external visits and our contributions to local exhibitions.
The reports of the Chairperson and Secretary were accepted by the membership. The Annual accounts will be published as usual at the first meeting in the 2017-18 programme.
The existing committee and officers were re-elected unopposed.
The Chair closed the meeting, thanking all the members of the committee for their support during her first year of office, and asked for their continued support in 2017 – 18.
The meeting was followed by the final presentation of the year.
Two former members of the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service provided a well-illustrated insight into the role of the service, the equipment used, and the ever present dangers associated with fighting fires. They explained why Merseyside crews are exceptionally skilled in fighting fires in the City centre and the domestic environments.
The presentation then described the innovative practices developed by the service to manage fires in cargo and ships passing through the Port of Liverpool, and how their procedures have been adopted by other services in the UK and across the world.
Many photographs were shown giving an insight into this work and the dangers involved.
The evening finished with refreshments.
The next session of lectures starts on 2nd October 2017.
