First contributions to HDGB "140 Firsts"

Stoke St Milborough bell ringers have made their first contribution to the Hereford Guild's aim of achieving 140 Firsts over the course of its 140th anniversary year. With a band made up of regular participants in our Wednesday morning advanced 8-bell practice, we rang Pudsey Surprise Major at Morville, a first in method for Jenny Ferguson and a first of turning in the tenor to a Major method for Ashley Smith.

You can view this and all of the other achievements in the 140 Firsts initiative here on Bellboard: ​

Hereford Diocesan Guild — 140 'Firsts'

At Stoke St Milborough, we will be very happy to help ringers of all levels throughout the Guild to achieve a first during the year ahead. Our bells are very available for performances and we have ringers who will happily participate in Quarter Peals and Peals both here and anywhere else where we can be of assistance. So if you have an ambition to tick off your own First this year, don't hesitate to contact us if you think we might be able to help you achieve it.
