It is very sad to hear of the deaths of Ian Burroughs and Tony Evans, two long standing ringers in the Peterborough Branch, and I thought ringers might want to know the arrangements for their funerals

Many people will have known Ian as the Tower Captain at Barnack, and will have rung with him in the past. His funeral is at 1pm on Tuesday 11 October at Barnack. Bells will be rung after the service.

Tony was a key member of the band at Castor for many years, and he was the instigator of a teaching facility at Castor, that then became the Castor Ringing School. His funeral is at Castor on Monday 17 October at 2.45pm. Bells will be rung by the Castor band.

As the current Head Tutor of the School, I propose to ring one or more Quarter Peals in Tony’s memory, comprising ringers who were taught to ring by Tony. If you are interested in joining us, please will you let me know through the following link, https://petbells.org.uk/contact/events-organiser/ and I will ensure that all those who want to are included in any ringing we organise.

Best wishes,

Hilary Hardie
