On Saturday March 22nd at St. Philip’s Church, Sydney, NSW, Australia, Diane Halls - daughter of well known Derby ringers Pat and Gordon Halls - was married to Tony Rodgers.
Before I knew that Pat and Gordon would be down under again I had already obtained permission for a peal attempt at St. Mary’s Church, Rolleston-on-Dove; so I promised Pat the above “footnote” as a wedding compliment.
However, at the conductor’s discretion the peal attempt was called round at 2016 changes but none the less our best wishes are proffered to the happy couple.
