90 Grandsire Doubles

3 Jayden Milby (C)

5 Hugh F Pettifer
6 Ian W Taylor
90 changes of Grandsire Doubles for the 90th birthday of Ian W Taylor, bellringer for over 70 years and having more than 50 years service at this church as ringer and Tower Captain. Ian chimed the tenor behind to this touch whilst Margaret was able to join us in the ringing room to ring the treble. This is a substantial achievement for both Ian and Margaret who have not been able to ring much in recent years and are finally able to ring together again. The ringing was preceded by refreshments shared with ringers and friends from all across the Furness branch, followed by a round up of all Ian’s ringing achievements (there’s a lot of them!).
Happy 90th Birthday, Ian!
