Hand Bellringing

[grannyjules]

Bellringing is my hobby. We are a small group of different ages, and we are self taught. We play very simple songs compared to those who go in the competitions. At least we cheer the folks up at the care homes, they sing and dance along with us. Here's a link to another group, just to give you a flavour of The Bells

I keep forgetting that you do this Grannyjules!

What a lovely thing to do

Bucks Guiding have a set of hand bells and the ladies who store them write the notes on large sheets of paper and come for a bell ringing evening once a year to our Tefoil Guild, even the Brownies have a go. Of course we are not in your league GJ. Great fun, how does the man with those huge bells manage and some of the group have three bells! I don't think we will be giving any performances.

Only ever seen bell ringing on TV, but I love the sound of the bells.

Respect to you! I know I could never ever do that because as soon as I start counting I get completely muddled up and I'd mess up the lot! It's a lovely sound though, and I imagine the audience really love to listen.
