A group from the Basingstoke area, led by Vice-Master Pete Jordan, toured the Island last Saturday and spent the day ringing at six of our towers.
Among those rung were Freshwater, Brighstone and Godshill .
Final ring of the day was Ryde with its heavy 26.2cwt. I found them all gaining sustenance for the last tower of the day eating fish and chips on the church lawn!
The group set sail from Cowes as the sun was setting. I hope you all enjoyed your day ‘overseas’.
A great day had by all but I don’t rember ringing at Shanklin
sorry, was trying to remember the conversation I had with one of your ringers.
It was a great day – lovely bells in lovely towers.
