Young Ringers' Day.
July 2009

The Young Ringers' Day at Wolborough is becoming an established annual event. Thirteen young ringers aged 9 to 18 came from all over Devon on 11th July, along with several ringing parents/drivers.

The tower-bell ringing was run all afternoon by our senior young ringer Tom, (now one of the more able ringers in the county), and many others made good use of the opportunity to call changes or 'say go and stop'. The handbells were popular again this year, when not up the tower, and one young ringer grassed on Tim as having juggled with the toy ones last year!

As usual, we moved over to the sister church, St Paul's, which has no bells, but excellent facilities. It was too wet for an outside barbeque, but the cooking team went to work in the kitchen, while Tim delivered another thoughtful and well prepared act of worship in the church. The food was then set upon with relish and much appreciation. Amy and Laurie rounded off their evening by having a go at playing the organ.

The thanks of all the group go to Russell and the Wolborough ringers, who did all the work behind the scenes, provided all the facilities, and somehow put on the cheapest feast most of us have had. It was much appreciated.
