31st October - 8th November
46 successful quarter peals were rung during the week. The majority scored were Doubles (20), followed by Triples (14), Caters (5), Major (3), Royal (2) and Minor (2). Grandsire (14) was by some way the most popular method.
Quarters recorded as rung in the following branches: East Dorset (16), Devizes (8), West Dorset (9), Calne (4), Salisbury (3), Dorchester (2), Channel Islands (2), Marlborough (1) and Mere (1).
Many congratulations to the many organisers, conductors and ringers who took part in these quarters, especially Duncan Parkinson and Alastair Wheeler (1st QP), Jane McKee and Ian Wyld (1st as conductor). Congratulations also to the bands ringing the first QPs of Royal on the recently augmented bells of Calne and Melksham.
