A glorious day! The bells of Notre Dame in Paris rang this morning for the first time since the fire in 2019!

Unfortunately several of our ringers are away or otherwise unavailable so there will be no service ringing tomorrow (Sunday 7 July) and no practice on Monday 8 July.

A little short on numbers last night, but a first go at plain hunt for one of our learners while our more experienced ringers tried their hands at Reverse St Nicholas Minimus (3 blows leading is weird)

A bit short-handed for Ascension Day ringing this morning, but thanks to Paula from @PutneyBells we managed to ring our back 5 (and managed a quite respectable lower too!)

'If a church does have a full set of full-circle bells, they should be heard. They’re the voice of the church; they’re what call people to worship and unite #church and #community' @ChurchTimes @churchofengland @BellsChelmsford #bellringing

"My advice: if you don’t like the sound of bells, don’t move near a church. They were there first"

Another one for 18 May @RoadSw9 - nothing to do with ‘The Sausage King’ but I’ve just been learning about ‘The Society of Royal Cumberland Youths’ @SRCY_bells & here in #StreathamCemetery lies their Master from 1914-1933, John Daniel Matthews eventbrite.co.uk/e/people-of…

No ringing tomorrow due to the Palm Sunday procession. No practice on Monday as it’s Holy Week. Ringing as normal on Easter morning (but remember that the clicks go forward!). No ringing on Easter Monday as it’s a bank holiday
