The Ringing World Centenary
The Ringing World is the magazine for bellringers and celebrated its centenary in March 2011. Its first edition in 1911 included a peal rung at Guiseley (a peal is continuous ringing for about 3 hours). We arranged a peal to mark the centenary in 2011 and a peal of Upminster Surprise Major was successfully completed on 20 February 2011. The band included local band member Jeffery Cooper, shown here on the left.
