A team of men and women struggled with ladders and eventually freed the north face. Later they returned and have taken down most of the flags from the east face and so the clock should now work again. Huge thanks to the fire brigade for their assistance. A donation from the Church was given to the Fire Brigade benevolent Fund. Congratulations to Mo Peter's daughter, Rosie. She's just gained a 2.1 degree in drama from Exeter University. Well done!
