Eastern District (open to all districts!) Ashdown Forest Outing< /strong>

Current Status: We have all four towers confirmed! 

The ringing will be for anyone who can ring rounds unassisted upwards, so if you are a new member, please don't feel you won't be of a good enoug h standard to come out and enjoy the day - it can seem daunting ringing at a different tower for the first time, but there will be plenty of people ab out who will be able to support and encourage you.
 
Lunch is by own arrangement, but there are a number of pubs in the area, the obvious one being "The Bear" (previously The Anchor) in Hartfield itse lf.  You can book a table online via their website if you want to (https://www.thebearhartfield.c om/book-online-1).  There is also the Hatch Inn, which is just a p lain course away from the church at Coleman's Hatch (https://www.hatchinn.co.uk/book-a-table) and, or course, Pooh Co rner in the High Street of Hartfield (https://po ohcorner.co.uk/current-menu/).  There is also the Forester's Arms (https://www.theforestersf airwarp.com/book-a-table) next to our final church at Fairwarp. 
For those wishing to play Pooh Sticks, bring some boots and the car park is off Chuck Hatch Lane, What3Words ///outings.chambers.outbound .  Don't forget to collect some sticks as you head down the hill, as t hey are always in short supply around the bridge itself!
 
The bells we will be ringing:
  • Maresfield, ground floor 8 with a tenor of 14cwt and consists of the original 6 from 1787 sup plemented by two trebles from 1950
  • Hartfield, ring of 6 with a teno r of 9cwt, all late 18th century bells
  • Coleman's Hatch, recently re furbished (2021) 1913 G&J ring of 8 with a tenor of 11cwt
  • Fairw arp, 15cwt 8 ring of 8, G&J 1936, widely considered to be one of the be st rings of 8 in the area.
I'm looking forward to meeting som e of you on the day, if you are coming and I don't already know, please dro p me a message via e-mail, text or WhatsApp (07961 166069) to let me know y ou are coming, and also the level you'd like to ring at (ie round, call cha nges, Plain Hunt, Surprise Major etc).  It isn't mandatory by any mean s, but it just helps me plan a bit.
 

We have had lots of "first time" eventers attending this year, and it's great to se e so many of you out and about.

Maresfield 10:00-10:45 (Co nfirmed)

The other two churches have parking next to them.
