Congratulations to Sara from the Chairman, Officers, Committee and all Members of the Mere Branch on successfully ringing her First Quarter, at her first attempt.

Sara only restarted ringing, following a gap of several decades, for Ring for the King in May last year.

Nick Dallison, Angie Jasper, and Chris Jenkins are to be associated with this quarter; all have helped with the development of Sara’s ringing.
