Young Ringers' Day.
July 2010

There's a change in the air!

On 10th July young ringers in Devon enjoyed a Saturday at Wolborough, with ringing and a barbeque, for the fourth time in the last five years. Numbers were down to eight as many ‘regulars’ had other commitments, but it was great to have three new young people, including one who had not rung beyond his own tower before. The ringing was run by Tom Waterson and ranged from rounds to a finishing flourish of Cambridge Major, with the help of some oldies.

Amy and Laurie played the organ for a short service over at the bell-less but BBQ compatible St Paul’s Newton Abbot. It turned out Chris could play too, and the organ was put to good use by these three young people after the BBQ. Some others had a go at handbells with a choice of sets: large, small or coloured.

We wish to thank Russell for the use of both churches; and Caroline and her team for organising all the food yet again, including delicious puddings. The July Young Ringers’ Days will continue, as well as the spring and autumn outings, and we already have plans for a new venue next summer!
