The band would wish to associate this peal with Peter J Sawyer who had the gall to have a heart attack in the middle of a peal on the 1st Feb ( and it was going so well) now known as Lazarus and is on so many pills that he now rattles . He has also taken the middle name Brexit, given the date. The band have forgiven him and wish him a continued recovery.
