Sussex Quarter Peal week (10 days) is here again! 

The dates 13th to 22nd September are specifically aligned to Heritage Open Days which for the second year running is over two weekends. This event is extended to include extraordinary challenges (in addition to Quarter Peals) to be inclusive of ringers who joined our happy band recently via the “Ringing Remembers” campaign. Are you ready for your first Quarter Peal? Ask your Tower Captain or fellow ringers if they can help out. Can you call or ring a Quarter before the 22nd September? We look forward to hearing those bells and seeing your names and maybe photos up there.

Here is a link to the event on Bellboard: https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/event.php?id=11254 - make sure you link your ringing to this event and they will all be printed together in the Ringing World. There are 8 Quarter Peals for Sussex showing on Bellboard since 13 Sep, but only two are linked to the event. Congratulations to Ringmer & Eastbourne for linking their ringing to the event!. It's easy to edit your QP on Bellboard - just look for the pencil and then link to the event...
