Arranged and rung in affectionate memory of Sue and Phil Rothera, both of whom died last year from cancer. Sue rang in all the previous nine Rothera family peals, and Phil in all but two. Rung on the same bells and in the same method as the first 8-bell family peal in 2001.The band also send their best wishes to Sue Page (Brian's mother) who was unable to ring in this peal, and thanks to John Fielden, an old family friend, for taking her place.
