Remembering Jenny's Mum

We ring the bells for most occasions.  A full peal consists of 5040 changes (derived from the maximum number of changes on 7 bells) When ringing on 6 bells the maximum numbers of changes is 720 and so we need to ring 7 lot's to achieve our 5040 changes and to make a full peal.

We rang a full Peal at Seighford on Saturday 14th October remembering Jenny Beech's mother who sadly passed away 3 years ago this week at the age of 100 

The Bell Ringers were:

5040 Minor (4m)

2 Extents of Cambridge, 1 Extent of Kent, 2 Extents of St Clements, 2 Extents of Plain Bob

1Nicola J Galton

2Jenny M Beech

3Trevor Lock

4Greg J Pearce

5Adrian G Roberts

60 Years and counting

I was lucky enough to ring in a Peal to celebrate E Ann Williams' 60th ringing year.  Morton Corbet was the chosen tower as she had been tower captain there while her husband had been vicar.

Ann was persuaded to take up the hobby by her father, who coaxed her along to a practice as they were short of ringers.  She describes herself as being very reluctant to take up the art, but as soon as she grabbed hold of a rope, she was hooked.  60 years later and having rung over 500 peals she is just as keen today as she was then.

It just shows you that you need to have ago at everything in life, you just don't want you'll enjoy.  Please free to call in and see us on a Tuesday evening to have ago, it might just change your life!

We rang 7 methods in the peal, 7 full extents of Cambridge, Kent TB, Oxford TB, St Clements, College Bob, Single Court, and Plain Bob.  It was completed int 2 hrs 40 minutes

Seven methods:one extent of Cambridge surprise,Kent TB,Oxford TB,St Clement bob,College single ,Single Oxford and Plain Bob.
