| Mon Jul 26, 2021 |  We are very sorry to pass along the news that David Henry passed away on July 21, 2021. David joined the New York band in 2012 and served as Secretary from 2016 to 2019. He rang 87 quarter peals and 2 peals, including the peal in 2016 to mark the 10th Anniversary of the installation of New York’s ring of 12 bells. He was an accomplished cyclist, and well versed in a variety of topics including history, music, and travel, making him an excellent conversationalist in the pub. David was a pillar of the band and will be deeply missed. |
| Thu Mar 19, 2020 |  We're sorry to pass on the news that Roger Savory died peacefully in his sleep on Friday March 13th. He was 90. Roger was a big contributor to helping build a change ringing band when the Trinity bells were installed in 2006, and he was a good friend to many in the band at that time. He attended regularly until about 2013, after which he could no longer manage the stairs. Roger was an active and very accomplished ringer for many decades, both in North America and earlier in the UK, and he rang just over 800 peals. |
| Sun May 6, 2018 | Today’s ringing saw much of our repertory, including Stedman, Erin, Grandsire, Plain Bob, Cambridge, Bristol, and of course Plain Hunt and Rounds & Call Changes. Our post-service open ringing closed with something borrowed from the orchestra tradition for a farewell, by which individual groups or instrumentalists drop out one by one. We started with rounds on 10, and on command of the conductor “Treble Stand”, the 1 was set, and a minute or so later the same call meant the 2 was set, and onward with rounds on 8, 7, 6, 5, etc. until only the tenor remained ringing, and it tolled 11 times, once for each year since the bells were installed. |
