Week St. Mary Bellringers |
The Bellringers have been busy ringing
for services and weddings and have
hosted the Tamar Valley Guild of Ringers
Festival of Ringing on 2nd May this
year. The event included a service in
the church with Revd Rob and a Tea in
the Parish Hall which boosted church and
Tower Funds very nicely. We are looking
forward to ringing for a total of 6
weddings so far in our church this year.
The fee for providing Ringers for
Weddings is £60. This includes the
services of 6 Ringers for half an hour
before the service, their presence and
lusty singing during the service (!) and
celebration ringing after the service.
Practice Night is Wednesday and for the
summer, we have put back our start time
to 8pm to give everyone the chance to
make the best use of the summer evenings
before coming out to the church. From
September we will start at 7.30 again.
If ANYONE who is at
least 5‘ tall, fit and healthy, would
like to learn to ring, please get in
touch with Lesley who will arrange for a
taster session for you and introduce you
to the rest of the team.
Learning to ring is a big commitment it
is true, but gives you a lifelong hobby
and skill and a wide circle of friends
all over the district and indeed the
country. A religious commitment is not
necessary but once you are ‘ringable’
you may be asked to attend services at
which you are available to ring.
Please get in touch if you are
interested as we are gradually getting
more and more short of new ringers to
maintain this tradition in our village.
