The New Brighton Fire Brigade wrote, asking permission to use the pavilion for a water display on March 28. The request was granted, provided the hose was not taken through the building; Captain A. W. Owles was unanimously elected a life member of the club.

The secretary was instructed to write to the Royal Humane Society, asking for additional lifebuoys to be placed on the pier.
