It is with great sadness that I am writing this as our press correspondent Jude has passed away after a brave fight with cancer. She is missed at all our branch events especially at our Saturday morning surprise practices where she was always keen to try new methods. The church at Ecton was packed with people from the village, friends old and new and many ringers with several people from her past as well as the present speaking. The bells were rung before by an invited band and after by many branch ringers before moving to the village hall for wonderful refreshments. Cake was always available when we had a meeting at Ecton and this was the case on this occasion. Several quarter peals were rung in Jude’s memory.
