While missing some this Sunday, we were quite lucky that for a change no one needed to go down early to do anything for the service. Some excellent call changes on ten and some Grandsire Caters as well as Stedman Triples and London Surprise Minor as we were all assembling.
100th Peal at Staplehurst
On Saturday 18th of April, ten local ringers took part in the 100th peal to be completed at Staplehurst. This peal comprised 5000 changes of Plain Bob Royal and took exactly three hours to complete.

Practice Night
Despite being a little bit “local band deficient”, through illness and football (at least they won for a change), we still achieved some excellent ringing. A very respectable course of Cambridge Surprise Major, half a course of Superlative Surprise Major and some Spliced Stedman and Grandsire Triples to name but a few. Many thanks to our visitors from Hadlow who helped us achieve this.
Easter Holiday Practice
There will be an additional Easter Holiday practice on Thursday 9th April from 10.00-12.00, all abilities very welcome.
If you’re a non-ringer who’s interested in what goes on, why not pop along too!
