Bromyard District AGM

The Bromyard Annual General Meeting which will be held on Saturday, 22nd February 2025.

We’ve arranged an exciting day including:

The District AGM is the first in a number of years when we are able to ring at towers in our district where there are the beginnings of a new band of ringers in each location. We have new Tower Captains in place at both, learners who are very soon going to be holding selective practices with a view to re-introducing Sunday Service ringing. Both sets of bells have benefitted from significant work in recent months – the Tenor bell at Bishops Frome and a new access platform at Pencombe.

We would love for you to come along and show your support for these two towers.

We will be electing new members, a new District Treasurer, a new tower Secretary for Bromyard and a new management committee member for the district.

Second Learner’s morning held at St Peters Bromyard

We were delighted to host a second session for some more eager learners at St Peters Bromyard on Saturday 20th January 2024.  Like last time attendees could practice their handling skills, continue getting to grips with rounds and call changes, start their plain hunt journey and for some practice their doubles methods. This time we welcomed 17 enthusiastic learners from Cleobury Mortimer, Knighton, Eardisley, Bredwardine, Almeley, Kington & Bromyard. In between tower bell practice sessions there was an opportunity to have a go at handbell ringing.

Many thanks must go out to the helpers, Chris Kippin, Ed & Sarah Lupton, Tim Hollinghurst, Stella Smith, Elaine Wilkinson, Karen Parker, Sue Robinson, Ady Taylor & Nicky Hudson who allowed us to give people the experience they came for. And to Bill & Clare Evans for running the handbell workshops.

There are a few snaps from the event below and the consensus is that we will do it again!
