When giving names for tea, please specify if you require a vegetarian option.
Monthly meetings are for all abilities. Rounds and call changes to Surprise Major. Come and try different bells and meet other ringers. Learners' practices, tailor-made to towers' requirements can also be held, usually on a Saturday
morning. Contact the Ringing Master.
The Theory Corner will cover the Special Method of the day. Questions about other theory matter will also be accommodated. The Special Method of the day will occupy some of the practical ringing time, but there will be plenty of time for other ringing. The Theory Corner will begin 30 minutes before the scheduled start time for the ringing.
