A
much anticipated event was the annual "Carol Concert" led by Ben Bingham
in the Despatch Department on the last afternoon of work before Christmas, at
which money was raised for Salvation Army charities. Ben was an accomplished
musician who could play 44 instruments.
Jim Farrow recalls "It was a very popular event and employees came from all over the company to join in the service. It was quite a sight with people sitting on wooden crates and planks of wood, singing carols to their hearts content. Ben played the music and I seem to recall also played music on bottles containing different amounts of water."
