A Peal for Evelyn Phillips tomorrow morning, starting at 9:30am

A group of experienced ringers from the Banbury & Oxford areas will be coming to ring a peal on the Wardington bells on Saturday 14th December; they will start ringing at about 9.30a.m. and the peal will take approximately 3 hours. Peals are normally rung to mark something special, which may be local or national, and this peal is being rung in appreciation of Mrs Evelyn Phillips and to celebrate her 100th and 101st birthdays. What is a peal? Nowadays it indicates a minimum of 5,040 changes – where two bells change place – but there is also a long list of rules, some of which are: Every bell must sound at every row of six blows throughout the peal.

Puddle problem

As you may be aware the main road in Upper Wardington is frustratingly still flooded. Oxfordshire County Council Highways were informed from the outset (both via fixmystreet and on the telephone) and have been out to assess it once already but to no avail. The latest information that we have today is that OCC Highways are fully aware of the problem, including that they have not solved it.
