Windmill Ringers (Hand Bells)



 
We welcomed the Windmill Ringers to our October meeting.  There were three ladies in the Group each with 4 bells.  Altogether there were 29 bells and some chime bells.  The bells were made in America and are tuned to concert pitch and stay in tune.  They played a full range of tunes from the music hall like "Oh Mr Porter" to light classical music by Schubert.  We enjoyed ourselves singing along to some of the tunes. Apparently they often play Hymns and Carols in Churches as well.  All the members thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
 
Our Christmas meeting is on Wednesday 11 December at 7.30pm in the Community Centre.  Mr Ernie Richards will be coming and entertaining us with Christmas readings and music and we will have our usual buffet supper. Everything for an enjoyable time.  Do come if you can.
 
Visitors are always welcome and if there are any queries, please contact Veronica Brett on 01508 493029 or Lesley Sanders on 01508 492155.
 
Finally may we wish all readers a happy, healthy and warm Christmas and New Year.
