The Association Firsts Festival, which coincides with the Peal and Quarter Peal Festival, is to celebrate any ringer who has done
anything, from the smallest to the biggest, for the first time. Entries into the list are submitted via a Branch Officer, normally
the secretary, who can enter the details and upload a photograph if wanted.
