SCACR Quarter Peal Week 2015

Details

Published: Monday, 12 January 2015 21:57

Mark the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Association with a quarter peal in your local tower between 24-31 January 2015.

A quarter peal is a superb way of consolidating your ringing - whatever your level and experience. By ringing- a longer length, listening and getting to grips with the patterns that the bells create, you will walk away from the experience with more skills. Even a failed quarter helps develop your skills. Time n the end of a rope is never wasted :-)

You may be a budding conductor; you may know of a potential conductor... now's the opportunity.

If you need help finding a conductor or additional ringers, why not email around

The Festival of Bells takes place at Alfriston on 12th July from 11am to 4pm.

There's plenty planned for ringers and non-ringers:

Striking Competition with a difference to suit all abilities.  Everyone will enter individually and the teams will be drawn so that every team has a mixture of abilities.  This way everyone gets a chance to win! [No chance for those clever towers to run away with all the prizes]. View Rules.

Open ringing and practice on the bells from 11am.  Entries close at 1.30pm and the competition will start at 2pm. You will be told what team you are in and what time your team is ringing.

Meanwhile take part in the Treasure Hunt; have a go on the Bell Meadow mini ring; listen to Handbells in the Clergy House or have a go yourself on the Tye; enjoy refreshments in the village hall or in there are plenty of places to eat and drink in the High Street; Check out the Exhibition.

So much to see and do in so little time! See the attached poster for full details.  Festival_of_Bells_Poster_July_2014.pdf
