Ringing in East Riding of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire

Nunburnholme 

Again another picturesque village.  We arrived in the afternoon after a failed peal at Elloughton, due to the Church Warden arranging an emergency roof inspection due to a leak from the heavy overnight rain.

We rang Seven Minor Methods,

Dent in Cumbria

Dent - Cumbria/ Yorkshire Border

I am always amazed at the beautiful places Bell Ringing takes me, and the village on Dent on the Cumbria Yorkshire border didn't disappoint with it's cobbled streets and picturesque houses.  Further details of the village can be found from this link: https://www.visitcumbria.com/yd/dent/ The start time for the peal was set at 12 noon as I had to drop my children off at school in Stafford before I could start the two and half hour Journey north on the M6.

We rang 56 methods of Minor, full details of the peals can be found here: https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1557898

Details of Dent Bells can be found from Dove's webpage: https://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?tower=16011

Ringing at Newcastle - Saturday 10th December

It was the North Staffs Ringing meeting which was held at St. Giles Newcastle, the large Church that is situated just off the busy A34.

Karen and myself thought it would be an experience to ring on twelve bells, the only twelve bell tower in the North Staffs area, of course that is until Stafford gets there new ring which we all hope will installed early in the New Year. 

The minute we arrived we were made very welcome and told to grab a rope to ring rounds and call changes. We did take hold not knowing if they were heavy or light.  They were lovely to ring and we had three separate turns at Rounds and Call Changes.

There was a short service afterwards followed by their AGM.  Some new officers were elected details can be found via their website page:  https://www.nsacr.org.uk/v2-officers.php

Thank yo to the North Staffs for a real enjoyable evening.
