Specially arranged and rung on New Years Day to congratulate our friend Joan Simpson, aged 85 (a ringer here at Coningsby), on being awarded a B.E.M. (British Empire Medal) in the 2018 New Year’s Honours List for services to the community of Coningsby (which includes her bell ringing & fundraising). Well Done Joan, Well Deserved!
Joan came and sat in the tower while we rang the quarter. She is hoping to ring in a quarter in a few weeks time to celebrate.
Rung also remembering absent friends, especially Alan Brader (former Tower Captain) and Jim Sutherland (former Tower Captain at Wragby and friend of the Eastern Branch).
Also in memory of William Eustace James Brown, Bob’s Uncle Eust who passed away at the end of 2017.
Anne’s first quarter on an inside bell at her home tower, Well Done Anne!
The ringers of 2, 4 & 5 are all members of the local Coningsby band and this is the first time that all three of them have rung together on inside bells at Coningsby for a quarter!
