Many congratulations to 3 of our branch members who scored “firsts” in a quarter peal at Bicester on Monday 30th May (Spring Bank Holiday):
- Anne Martin: 1st Quarter Peal (and it was “inside” too!)
- Steve Vickars: 1st Quarter Peal
- Jeremy Adams 1st Quarter Peal as conductor
After a nervous start (fully expected given 3 “firsts” being attempted) the ringing settled and we managed some good striking throughout the quarter peal. There were a few little hiccups but nothing that couldn’t be fixed. Anne wondered “is that it?” at the end – such had been the level of concentration she achieved. A fabulous achievement from all and a good step up in their respective ringing career ladders. A visit to a local watering hole followed!
