On Sunday 10th September 2023, the commitment and achievements of three of our bell ringers was recognised during the morning family service.
Mark Lendon, Valerie Swain and James Riley have all achieved ringing their first quarter peal during the past year. This means ringing continuously for about 45 minutes and involves considerable physical and mental effort.
Mark returned to ringing after the pandemic having learnt to ring as a youngster. He has rung several quarter peals in the past year. Val learnt to ring in 2018 For ‘Ringing Remembers’ and has rung regularly ever since including two quarter peals. James learnt to ring in 2022 and has now rung two quarter peals in little over a year.
Congratulations to all three ringers shown in the photo below with our vicar Ken Wylie and ringing master Clive Stephenson.
