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.

Alec asked that handbells be rung at the graveside and this is being to arranged. The committal will be at Cleobury Mortimer Cemetery, Ludlow Road, on the western outskirts of the town.
