Christmas Day Ringing
We were lucky enough this year, to ring twice on Christmas day. Ten bells rang out before the 10am service, which was then followed by a successful Quarter Peal of Plain Bob Major.

The “B” band’s Christmas Quarter.
First on this date for all.
Former Ringer Returns
We were surprised – and delighted – to welcome a former member of our band to practice on 23rd December. Iain Mackay gave up ringing due to shoulder problems some six years ago but is now back and intends to start coming regularly again. True to his word Iain turned up to ring for the Christingle service on Christmas Eve and rang as though he had never been away.
Good to have you back Iain, and we look forward to seeing you for many years to come!
Sunday ringing
Eleven ringers on Sunday 21st December. We rang some well struck call changes on ten and touches of both Grandsire and Stedman Triples. Eight people turned up to ring for the carol service in the evening. We rang some nice call changes and touches of Grandsire Doubles and Plain Bob Minor.
