Let the Bells Ring Out
THERE WILL BE NO bell practice in November or December. On 10th November a
Quarter Peal by teachers of and ringers with Margaret Stanier was attempted -
only to fail in the final three minutes. They were distraught. On Saturday 1st
December at 11.00pm the same band will make another attempt to ring a Quarter
Peal of Cambridge Surprise Minor which will last about 45 minutes. Anyone with
any interest in bells will hear 98% perfect striking, so do listen.
