Bellringers

  bellringersNEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME

The Alstonefield Bellringers meet every Wednesday evening at St Peter’s Church for practice night.  We try to aim for a 7.30pm start, but it is often nearer 8pm before we actually start ringing!  If you would like to join our group, or just want a “pull” to try it out, then just turn up.  Alternatively, speak to one of the regular ringers (listed below) first.  You need no previous knowledge, or skills, or musical appreciation!  It will cost you nothing and if you enjoy yourself then that’s a bonus, if not, then at least you can say you’ve had the experience!

The St Peter’s bellringers constructed a large bell of daisies for Wakes day, much to the amusement of some of the local children.
