Alvechurch team at St Leonards, Beoley

St Leonards at Beoley is our neighbouring parish to the south. Ringers from the two towers often visit each other and the photograph shows our team when we rang for a wedding at Beoley in August 2006. From left to right the ringers were: Greg Hunt, John Hoccom, Geoff Franklin, Mark Reacord and Colin Bennett. Pam Morley also rang that day but she's behind the camera here.

St Leonards church is on the outskirts of Redditch and they have many more weddings than we do at Alvechurch. In a good years we might ring for a dozen weddings but it's not unusual for Beoley to have two or three weddings on every Saturday through the summer. This puts a heavy workload on their ringers so we help whenever we can. On this occasion, the Beoley team were all away on their annual outing so Alvechurch provided the complete team for the day's ringing.
