The fourth annual concert organised by Worcester ladies guild had, as star attraction, top television and recording personality Iris Williams. Miss Williams agreed to sing in the concert after making a BBC series aboard the liner Canberra, where she met Captain Mike Bradford, whose wife is a member of the guild. She appeared on the condition that her services were given for the good of the lifeboat cause. Joining Miss Williams in the concert were Miss Rhian Morris, Alan Taylor, trumpeter Andrew Stone Fewings and the Hereford Police Choir. During the evening, which netted £1,687, a raffle took place with a first prize of a woollen rug with the RNLI symbol as its pattern (materials were donated by Readicut and the rug made by local supporter Mr Dunkley)..
