The Bathurst connection
Sparsholt band with our Australian visitor Maurice McNeil

When one of our ringers, Jenny Watson went to Australia, we became twinned with her new tower at Bathurst Cathedral in New South Wales. On the left you see the Dean of Bathurst, Andrew Sempell and his daughter, with our Tower Captain John Cleverley. John presented the Dean with a wooden dovel peg which was saved from the old wooden bell frame. This is now on show on display in Bathurst Cathedral. John has also made for Bathurst a wooden spider which was presented to the Bathurst Bells Committee by Jenny Watson. On the right is a photo of Sparsholt ringers with our guest Maurice McNeil also from Bathurst.
