Whitchurch Tower Bell Ringers

Like making a noise?  Come and learn to ring at St Mary’s.

Bellringing is an ancient, fascinating art that can be enjoyed by people of all ages from all walks of life.  You do not need to be particularly strong or musical in order to ring.  Children from as young as 9 or 10 can learn to ring and the writer knows people who are still ringing in their nineties.

Over the past few years the villagers have helped raise money to pay for new ropes and much needed maintenance on the bells of St Mary’s.  We now desperately need more ringers if ringing is to continue for services, weddings, funerals and other special occasions.

Either call Stephanie on 9744490, Sue on 9844489 or John on 9841072 for further information or come along any Wednesday evening between 8.00 and 9.00.  We are especially keen to hear from any lapsed ringers and if you are worried about being a little rusty we would be only too happy to arrange for an individual session to get you back in the swing of things (pun intended).

If there are any young people out there who would like to learn to ring, perhaps for a Guide badge or Duke of Edinburgh etc, then we would be pleased to hear from you.
