I am sorry to announce that Dr Donald Niblett, Vice-President and former Chairman (1996-1999) and Peal Secretary (1976 – 1996) of the KCACR died on the 14th July after a short illness. He was 92 years old.
Donald, together with his wife, Ruth, were much loved members of the Canterbury District ringing community for nearly sixty years, ringing both at St Stephen’s and at the Cathedral. They taught many ringers at St Stephen’s over the years and they had both also been heavily involved in the restoration of the bells in 1971. Ruth survives him.
Our thoughts are with Ruth and the rest of his family at this time.
