Dedication of Peal Board

At the Wirral Branch Monthly Meeting held at Oxton on Saturday 27th October 2001, the Peal Board commemorating the Peal rung on 30th September 2000, on the occasion of Alex Martin's 80th birthday, was dedicated.

The Peal (London Surprise Royal), was also rung in recognition of Alex's long service to bellringing in Wirral.

The Peal Board was formally dedicated by The Rev. Canon Geoffrey Davies of Oxton.

It is anticipated that the board will be hung in the Ringing Chamber at Oxton once the planned redecoration there has been completed.
