Branch Outing - Glossop & District – 3rd July 2010

A very select group from Leeds set out in 2 cars, very early. In pole position, and taking the scenic route, was John, accompanied by Sue & Pete. Hoping the bells were going to be up (they were – thanks to the advance party), and taking the M62, was Deborah accompanied by Penny, Katharine, Paul & Iona. We were fortunately joined by Neil Bennett, accompanied by Laura Davies & Tom Miles, who had see our plea for additional ringers on Campanophile! We were very lucky to have Laura, Tom, and Rob Hodgetts (for the last tower) – all excellent young ringers (especially at the heavy end!) and names to look out for in the future.

Left to right – Pete, John, Sue, Tom, Katharine, Penny, Laura, Neil, Paul, Deborah & Iona

Some very nice ringing was achieved – and a good time was had by all. The Ring o’ Bells pub in Marple provided an excellent lunch and the Church Inn in Saddleworth provided the tea! The towers are listed in order.
