The Essex Association of Change Ringers   President: The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford

I am sorry to inform you that Adrian Semken passed away on Friday 6th March 2015 as a result of leukaemia.

As well as everyone's condolence messages on Facebook I also found this quote: "He left a wonderful legacy in Essex with the Essex Ringing Course and all he did as Honorary Technical Advisor. This year's 25th ringing course will be a celebration of everything he set out to achieve."

I for one have certainly been privileged to gain knowledge from his wealth of experience and will miss him.

I will keep you informed of funeral arrangements when they become available.

Linda Ranby
Northern District Secretary
