Rung to celebrate the life of Betty Burbidge who died on 20/12/22. Married to John, who is a past chairman of the Market Harborough Bell Ringing District and was Tower Captain at Kibworth for many years, Betty was not a ringer herself but was a great ringing supporter. A regular on ringing outings and holidays, she supervised and helped with countless teas and meals at meetings and socials throughout the District. Her kindness and lovely sense of humour will be missed.

Sally Brown, who was unable to ring due to recent surgery, was present during the ringing and would like to be associated with this performance. RIP Charles, a very kind, gentle, generous and enthusiastic man who contributed so much to ringing in Leicestershire and beyond.
