Funeral arrangements for Peter Wood

Dear member,

You will have received the notice earlier this week about the sad passing of Peter Wood last weekend. Peter's family have asked that we circulate the following information:

Peter's funeral will mirror the funeral held earlier this year for his wife Marian. The service will be held at St. Mary the Virgin church, Great Bardfield (CM7 4RN) on Thursday 28th November at 12 noon. Parking is available in the surrounding streets or in a small car-park next to the playing field (CM7 4RR).  Refreshments will be served after the service at the Vine Public House, Great Bardfield.

Peter was extremely touched by the number of ringing friends that attended Marian's funeral. The family are again inviting ringing friends to join them on 28th November to celebrate Peter's life. So that the family can gauge numbers, please RSVP to bardfieldbellringers@gmail.com if you are attending (particularly if you are staying for the refreshments). There is no dress code - please wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

The ringing arrangements for the funeral are as follows:
- Before the funeral service: there will be a short piece of ringing by an invited band.
- After the funeral service: there will be an hour of open ringing. All ringers are welcome to join in this collective celebration of Peter's ringing life.

Peter will be buried with Marian in a private family ceremony at St. Katherine's church, Little Bardfield.

We hope to see many of you on the 28th November.

Sincerely,
Nick and Sarah Holland
St. Mary the Virgin Bellringers, Great Bardfield
