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 British 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.

BELL RINGING NEWS
Bell ringing is going really well, I am pleased to report and nearly all the Clatford Ringers are now ringing again since the Covid restrictions have eased - long may it continue.
From the beginning of November until the Spring all our practice
evenings will take place at St. Peter's Church. G. C.
By the time you read this, we shall have had our A.G.M. which was
postponed last year during the Covid crisis.
We shall be ringing Half-muffled Bells for the Armistice and I hope that
you will hear that amazing evocative sound - it is so special in my
humble opinion.
Louise Wodehouse.
BELL RINGING NEWS
I mentioned in the September issue of the Magazine, I would let you know how we did on the Stall at the Fete. We are very pleased to say that it went well and we have made enough money for another new 'Sally' when we need to replace one - so on behalf of the Clatford Ringers, I would like to say a huge 'thank-you' for your support and donating books - we are so grateful to everyone.
We have also done quite a lot of ringing & rang for a Wedding in September at St. Peter's Church G.C. and would like to wish the couple all the very best for the future.
Practices are every Wednesday evening from 7.30 - 9 p.m. alternate with All Saints'. 1st. 3rd & 5th are at St. Peter's & 2nd & 4th are at All Saints'.
