The Cheshire & North Staffs Young Ringers Event

We were lucky enough to host the Cheshire and North Staffs Young Ringers meeting on Sunday 15th June. They are practicing for the under 19’s striking competition next month being held in Birmingham.

They had some good practices and some good general ringing. Snacks and drinks were provided by the local ringers.

Our new practices times

We are changing our practice times.

Tuesday night practices will be 7.45 to 9pm and we will be using the simulator this will give us more scope of what we can ring, and is an excellent practice to teach listening a rhythm.

Friday nights will be open practice at Haughton on 1st and 3rd Friday and at Seighford on the 2nd and 4th Friday. On the 5th Friday if there is one we will practice at Chebsey.

Compton Dundon Ring again

Message from a recent visiting band

Good evening Trevor,

I just want to thank you and the Church bell ringing team at Haughton, on behalf of Ian and my friends who were on our recent outing to Staffordshire. Haughton was so beautiful, a great place to visit. We really enjoyed ringing your bells and we were made to feel most welcome.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards,

Steve
