On Sunday 10 April at Exeter, St Mark, Kate and Oliver Tucker rang their first quarter peal. Kate who is 13 and Oliver who is 11 started learning together about 18 months ago but they were not strangers to the belfry before that. Having been dragged along to ringing since the day they were born it might have seemed inevitable that Kate and Oliver would learn to ring but after years of declaring that they would never want to their parents were pleasantly surprised when they actually asked if they could start. Fortunately family tensions have been avoided by Matthew Hilling patiently taking the teaching lead - home life is probably much more relaxed as a consequence.

Oliver and Kate in action!
