On Thursday 27 June Simon Rudd, the Ringing Master at the Church of St. Peter Mancroft Norwich came along to speak to us about the art of bell-ringing. It was a fascinating talk covering the history of bells and bell founding through the ages. He was ably assisted by Ben, Neil, David and Richard who demonstrated the art of change ringing on a set of handbells. We hope soon to have a video of Simon’s talk on Youtube.

Almost the entire audience of fifty people (which included, I am delighted to say our two youngest trainee bellringers, Alfie and George) then went across to the Church Room for refreshments and an opportunity to talk more about the art of bell-ringing with Simon and his colleagues.   Many thanks to them for a most enjoyable evening.
