28th October – 12th November 2023
71 quarters were successfully scored during the period. Of especial significance were the eight first quarter-pealers being: David Brown (Seend), John Spear (Great Cheverell), John Loran (Royal Wootton Bassett), Sandra Thompkins (Longburton), Steve Forrest (Shipton Gorge), Steve Dawes (Hampreston), Marton Follett (Urchfont) and John Adlington (Urchfont).
There were 27 other firsts recorded in the footnotes to the quarters.
Methods ranged from Reverse Bob Minimus to Bristol Surprise Maximus, the breakdown as follows:
Minimus (2), Doubles(42), Minor (11), Triples (7), Major (4), Caters (2), and one each of Royal, Cinques and Maximus. The Devizes Branch set a challenge to its members and scored 26 quarters, followed by East Dorset (15), Calne (7), Dorchester (7), West Dorset (6), Salisbury (4), Marlborough (2), and Channel Islands (2). Two other quarters were rung outside of the Guild boundaries – including one in New South Wales. Blandford had its first quarter for five years, Horningsham its first for many years, and Calne its first on the new ten. There were four handbell successes.
Congratulations to all ringers, conductors and organisers who worked together to achieve this impressive tally of quarter peals for the Guild.
David Warwick – Peal Secretary.
