The Roger Bailey Memorial Peal Festival

After a tour de force of organisation by Tina, we have rung a total of four handbell peals in memory of Roger, involving nine different people who between them rang over 700 peals with him. All except the first were scored at the first attempt, and ringing three handbell peals in a week is unprecedented in my experience. We've established that it's possible to ring evening peals at our house from time to time (the children have had a film festival alongside our peal festival!), and we've extended our frontier by ringing Cambridge Royal. So we're pleased with our achievements, as well as feeling that we have paid appropriate tribute to Roger.
