Believed to be the first peal to contain more than one ringer in their 90s. Mike is 90 and Eric is 92. Bill Harris and John Hill were originally lined up to ring in this peal. Sadly, in the end, both were unable to ring. John joined us for a short touch of Grandsire Triples before the peal (3 ringers in their 90s ringing together)and in the pub afterwards.
