June 2012 - The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

To celebrate the Jubilee, St Michael's held a Royal Tea Party in the Church Hall.  This was a well-supported event which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

St Michael's bell ringers rang a full peal (5,040 changes) in 3 hours 9 minutes, in joyful celebration of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee.  The peal ringers were (as pictured left-to-right):  David Bardwell; Jo Druce; Jo Shepherd; Colin Cairns; Giles Winter; Rosa Bardwell; Chris Johnson; Eunice Wark.  This was the first full peal by a local Tilehurst band since 1994, and the very first Peal for Chris Johnson.
