Young Ringers': Fun and Food
July 14th 2012

The annual Young Ringers’ extravaganza in Devon was held at Pinhoe again this year, on 14th July. Joined by several new people including two up-and-coming families, there were at least 17 young ringers with a wide spread of ages and experience. Call changes and bell-handling was interspersed with methods, and more boxes had to be brought in for all the little ones!

In a very wet summer we were blessed with a virtually dry day. The churchyard was put to good use for games and a challenging quiz: eventually somebody did find the grave with a skull and crossbones on it, and the winner received chocolate buttons which they kindly shared round. Handbells also came out for some rounds on 10.

Meanwhile a couple of barbeques had produced large quantities of sausages and burgers, so the feast began, with puddings to follow; but there was yet more ringing before everyone dispersed.

Thanks to the church for the use of bells and facilities, Wendy for getting all the food, Phil and John for cooking, Heather for preparing the quiz and everyone for coming. It really was a lovely day.
