Little Gaddesden Bell Ringers
A ring of six bells was installed in the church in 1978 and they have been rung fairly regularly for the morning service on Sundays since then and for special services and weddings. We ring in the New Year then celebrate it with a glass of champagne and a mince pie!
We are a small band and could always do with more learners who hopefully will become experienced ringers. We have been blessed with two faithful ringers from Hemel Hempstead who come on Tuesdays to our Practice night from 8.00pm – 9.00pm. They teach our learners and teach the “oldies” new methods. Once you have mastered it, it is a bit like riding a bicycle: you don’t forget!
We celebrate Christmas with a small party for our ringers and helpers and devour copious amounts of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.
Interested? Ring me and we will welcome you to our practice night. Maybe you are already a ringer: then come and join us.
