Handbell Ringing

There are two groups, one meeting on Monday mornings and the other on Friday mornings from 10 - 12 noon at a house in Nine Mile Ride.  The Monday group has been playing for more than10 years now and the Friday group was started 15 months ago.  We use Bell-plates, a substitute for real bells that make a comparable sound but are much cheaper to buy and maintain.
 
With little or no musical knowledge, it is possible to become an active member within the group and enjoy all kinds of music;  extracts from the classics to Old Time Music Hall, and lots in between.  We are sometimes asked to "play away" and can usually put together a lively programme.
 
Unfortunately, both groups are full at present but anyone interested in joining a waiting list should contact:
