Toodyay Central Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade would like to thank those present who helped send off three of our founding members at our OGM tonight. Brian Wood, Desrae and Wayne Clarke, life members are stepping down from their auxiliary roles, however they are always welcome at our station. Congratulations and thank you to Brian, Desrae and Wayne for their service over many years. Our congratulations also go to John Morrissey who at our AGM earlier this year was awarded our volunteer of the year 2025/2026. John was overseas at the time and wasn’t available to receive his award so it was wonderful to make the presentation to him tonight.
Additionally, we were gifted antique radios by Shelly Dival. These were some of the first radios used by Toodyay brigades.
Below are a few words from our chief Craig Stewart, who couldn’t attend:
I would like to thank the founding members of the brigade.
I know it will not be that we don’t see them around.
Active is just a word … the legacy and the founding dedication by those brigade members is reflected in the spirit of support and quiet professional duty that continues and is the hallmark of Central Brigade.
