   Bournville is fortunate in having a second player in Ray Aldington who, having received tuition from Trevor Workman, became his assistant in 1969.

   Ray was a founder member and past President of the British Carillon Society and has played all of the 14 Carillons of the British Isles. He has also given recitals abroad in Belgium, Holland, Denmark, the USA and Canada.[top]
   
   Until his recent retirement, Ray was a teacher in Bournville Junior School and had his classroom on the top floor immediately beneath the bells. This proved to be very convenient in being able to show the carillon routinely, as a special 'treat', to final year pupils of the school, and enabled Ray to give his weekly recital each Friday afternoon commencing at 5 o'clock.[top]
   
   In addition to deputising regularly and ably for Trevor Workman as Assistant Carillonneur, Ray also pursues his other bell interests as leader of the tower-bell and hand-bell ringing teams at St. Nicholas Church, Kings Norton, Birmingham.
