Back in 2009 it was decided that it would be a good idea to hold a branch quarter peal week. The aim? ~ to ring as many quarters in the branch as possible in the chosen week, with as many ringers, towers and conductors participating as possible. The branch dinner itself, marks the end of the annual quarter peal week. This year the dinner took place in East Garston where we were looked after by Caterer Adele Porter and her friendly, courteous and trustworthy staff.

All present agreed that the meal itself was superb in every detail and that Adele had provided excellent value for money. All to often these days one encounters restaurants that offer up as the main course, one and a half potatoes, three slices of carrot, eight peas and 2 ounces of some form of unrecognisable meat, then have the affrontary to charge the equivalent of a weeks shopping for it. Well there was none of that old caper here, Adele provided us with three generous courses of fine home style cooking..........Thank you for that Adele,

The dinner was organised on behalf of the branch by
East Garston ringer Maureen Tarbox, and Beenham ringer, Tessa Allum.
The Hall and table decor was the artistic work of Sally Smith and her team.
Finally ~ Thank you to everyone for a very successful evening.,
