In memory of Mick Hobbs.
The ringers of 3,6 & 8 remember, vividly, a peal at Lyneham on 9th of May 1994. A couple of days prior to the peal PGCE announced that there was to be a "mystery" ringer joining us that evening but wouldn't say who. This prompted CMT to send him the following fax. (Does anyone else remember faxes?) The original fax still exists but would not scan well as it is very faint.

The attached photo shows who actually did turn up. Quite what the local ringer who met us thought of this we shall never know, however he was too polite to say if he disapproved!
