Guild Coffee Morning & Open Practice

Change of plans for Saturday 13th September

Sadly we have not received enough entries to make the planned ringing competition day viable, it seems that many people are unavailable during September so we will think again about the date for next year.

We are very pleased that the planned coffee morning and advice session planned for the morning is still going ahead, and our hosts, Cleobiury Mortimer, have kindly agreed to let us hold an open practice from 11:30-1:00pm.

Refreshments at the coffee morning will be £2.00 per head, and tower donations will be invited from those who join the practice.

Parking – there are two car parks in Cleobury, both are free, Childe Road, DY14 8PB, both have the same postcode. WhatThreeWords for the car parks are: ///bashful.swordfish.wound and ///warned.pianists.encroach.
