This year, ULSCR peal weekend took place on the weekend of the 10th-12th February. Three peals were organised, one for each day, as there wasn’t strong demand for *too much* bellringing. I agreed with the chosen conductors that they would choose the methods for their peals, so they would feel comfortable! The Friday evening was
Friday evening started in fine style with a peal of Bristol Major at St. James Garlickhythe. This was for David Phillips, so that he could ring his first in the method, and he rang very well, too. It was almost going to be Bristol Surprise Minor, due to unforeseen events at the eleventh hour, but

Friday 13th February was the date ominously chosen for the start of the University of London Society’s annual Peal Weekend. With well-timed organisation, the final details of the bands were sent out only hours before the first meet time yet everyone still managed to make it for an attempt at Jewry that evening. Alas, it
