– from Delie, re the Eight-Bell Group at Bradpole Ringing Centre:
“In the new year bells are booked for Friday 8 Jan and fortnightly 22 Jan, 5 and 19 Feb, 4 and 18 March,1, 15 and 29 April. 10 am to 12 noon.Please contact me before coming to ring in case of cancellation.
“On Friday 18 Dec a quarter is being attempted followed by a short practice for those living very near Bradpole. So other ringers please do not come. This follows the success of the last quarter. May I wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful new year, Good ringing and thank you, Delie.”
– from Bradpole Ringing Centre Voluntary Management Team: “The inaugural General Meeting of Bradpole Ringing Centre Society, which was to have been on Saturday January 9, has been postponed; matters have taken longer to set up than anticipated – apologies.”
-from Nigel Orchard,
“Please encourage as many ringers as possible to respond [to this survey].
The survey will close at the end of January.”
“We have the 12 Bell, the Tewkesbury Shield and the RWNYC, so why not one for Mini Ringers? An 8-Bell Competition to be held at Pig le Tower, Marston Bigot, with other attractions (such as St Leonard’s and other local mini rings) open (TBC) – oh and copious amounts of beer, cider, chat and FUN 🙂
Test: 168 of Triples, 224 of Major or an appropriate length (3 minutes?) of Call Changes. Practice time will be allocated, probably 5 minutes but may be shortened as necessary.”
