CIVIL DEFENCE —Ambulance Section
Since its inception on October 5th, 1951, this Section has
functioned smoothly and well, an average attendance of 16 Volunteers
being maintained at each session.
Some difficulty regarding accommodation was experienced at
first, but this problem has now been solved by utilising the whole
of the basement at Stroud Green, for training purposes.
Lectures and practical demonstrations have been given at the
weekly sessions, and in addition a number of Volunteers have
been given driving tests by the Vehicle Maintenance Officer.
At the end of the year the total strength of Volunteers was
38, comprising 20 females and 18 males.
