Handbell ringers wanted!! I am in the process of setting up a tune-ringing handbell team and am looking for ringers who might be interested in joining. Previous experience of ringing handbells is not necessary, but a good sense of rhythm and the ability to read staff notation would be an advantage, although this can be taught if required.
I am also seeking to obtain a suitable set of handbells, preferably at least 1½ octaves (12+ bells). I would be grateful to hear from anyone who knows of a set that might be available on a mid-long term loan/hire basis. Maybe your church has a set that has been unused for a while (perhaps in a box in the ringing chamber?) and would benefit from some regular use?
Also, are there any existing teams within our area, whether church based, community, private group, etc.? Maybe you're in a team that rings just occasionally for fun or you go round the village at Christmas collecting for charity? I'm hoping to organise an informal rally if there are enough teams interested.
Method on handbells. For some time now I have been keen to form a small group of ringers to ring some simple methods on handbells - several ringers I know have had a go at plain hunting in the past (maybe at the 'Bellringers Christmas Dinner' or some similar function) but have never had the opportunity to progress any further. Have you had a go before or would you like to give it a try? Most ringers can master plain hunt within a short time and Plain Bob Minor is not impossible either!!
Please contact me by or phone if you are interested in joining either (or both!) of the above teams, or can help with sourcing any handbells. Richard Lewis-Skeath.
