The Clatford Bell-Ringers @
Upper Clatford & Goodworth Clatford
The Clatford Bell-Ringers generally have their practices on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm to 9pm.
The 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays are at St Peter's, Goodworth Clatford and the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays are usually at All Saints', Upper Clatford. This is subject to seasonal variations and it is always wise to check with the Secretary.
Ringing church bells is a traditional English art, the skill being passed down from generation to generation. There are few places outside the Bristish Isles where church bells are rung in this way.
We welcome visitors who just want to come and watch, especially those from overseas who would not have the opportunity to see this in their own country. We are also happy to welcome anyone who wants to come and learn to ring, or anybody who would like to come and have a go without committing themselves.

I can hardly believe that we have nearly reached the longest day – time seems to fly by faster and faster especially during the Summer months.
Some of you may have been surprized to hear the bells at St. Peter’s being rung during Holy week as they are normally silent until Easter Day, but this year was different as we were asked by the Guild, if it would be possible to ring or toll a bell on Maundy Thursday 18th April – at 7 pm. in solidarity for the terrible fire that took place at Notre Dame.
I imagine that when Notre Dame has been fully restored, we may well be asked to ring again.
As I mentioned in last months magazine we are in full swing again to run the Book Stall at our village Fete and are now collecting Paperbacks.
We really do appreciate your support.
With thanks - Louise Wodehouse.
