It is with great sadness I have to tell you that Kevan Chapman passed away this morning. He was Wellingborough branch Ringing Master for many years, until late last year when illness prevented him from continuing in the post. I will let you know funeral arrangements when I have them.

Our sympathy and condolences to Rita and all his family.

We have now received details of Kevan's funeral. This will take place on Thursday, 30th March, at St Mary's Church, Finedon, at 11 am.

There will be ringing before the service from 10:30 to 10:55 and following the service there will be general ringing for all ringers to join.

Jenny Ball

Wellingborough branch secretary
