Specially arranged and rung by the local band to celebrate the 99th Birthday today of our dear friend Ron Applewhite who is a long standing member of the local band and an Honorary Life Member of the Guild.
Ron has previously rung in quarters for his 90th, 91st & 92nd birthdays and has since enjoyed listening to his birthday quarters even though he has not been able to ring in them. Even though he has not been fit enough to ring with us in recent years he still takes a great interest in the ringing and the local band.
Ron was a member of the Branston Surprise Minor Peal Band during the 1950’s & 60’s ringing many peals here on these bells.
Ron's first peal was here at Branston on 11th Feb 1950 & his last peal was here on 25th Mar 1967, with Branston being his leading peal tower with a total of 22 peals.
Length specially chosen!
(Rung also for the Lincoln Diocesan Guild)
