At Tuesday’s meeting of Bideford Rural District Council, Mr I C Williams received congratulations

on his recent marriage together with their best wishes for his future success and, on behalf of the members and staff, Mr J C Hilton presented him with an inscribed chiming clock.

The presentation was made, said Mr W T Harris, to mark the occasion of Mr Williams’ marriage and also as a token of thanks for his services to the Council. Almost the whole of Mr Williams’ service had been under the chairmanship of Mr J C Hilton, and for that reason it was felt that Mr Hilton should make the presentation.

Inscription on the clock read: ‘Presented to Ivor C Williams on the occasion of his marriage and in recognition of services rendered as Surveyor from 1941-1950, by members and staff of Bideford RDC’.

The full Gazette article is dated 3 February 1950.
