Wilfrid F Moreton

The society is saddened to hear of the death today (13/11/2006) of Wilfrid F Moreton. Whilst never a resident member of the BnD Wilf gave freely of his time to help the BnD during the 60’s and early 70’s when the ringing capability of the society was progressing towards more complex methods.
Wilf rang in 24 society Peals and conducted 19 of these. Also Wilf would frequently travel across from Wakefield to help out at special practices during a period when there were no accomplished conductors in the area capable of calling and from these practices upcoming local conductors learnt the ‘dark arts’ with Wilf’s guidance.
More recently Wilf donated one of the trebles for the augmentation at Flamborough.
