We got it! Six and half years after the completion of the augmentation to six bells, 5 years and 51 weeks since the first Quarter Peal, today saw the very first full peal rung in Ab Kettleby!
Starting just after 9am, the team of six ringers rang for 2 hours 47 minutes. The performance consisted of various doubles methods, and saw a number of “firsts”. Details from Bellboard
