YOUR
CHANCE TO TRY BELL RINGING
If you would like to learn about bell
ringing or are just curious come to our
Tower Open Evening
on Tuesday, 19th
AND Thursday 21st October, 7.30 – 9 pm at St. Giles Church, Leigh on Mendip.
You do not need
to be a regular churchgoer
to be a bell ringer, neither do you have to be very fit – if
you can ride a bike
you can learn to ring! All ages from 12 up can learn to ring.
At present we
cannot teach unaccompanied children but family groups are welcome.
Bell ringing is a
sociable activity (we usually end up in the pub on practice evenings)
which
will give you gentle physical exercise and can provide challenging
mental
stimulation. Change
ringing is also a uniquely
English tradition which dates back to the 16th
century.
