Dear all, with the Covid 19 emergency, and following Government guidance, I am writing to inform you that the VE Day celebrations planned for the weekend of 8 to 10 May 2020 have been cancelled. I know many of you planned to ring, either as part of a local event, or at 7pm on the evening of 8 May as part of the national celebrations.
It is hoped that events already planned can be moved to the weekend of 15/16 August, to celebrate VE Day and VJ Day, both momentous points in our history. I am sure that bell ringers will be asked to play their part in the celebrations again, so I will be in touch when I know more.
I hope everyone is keeping safe, but I am sure that, like me, you are missing your bell ringing.
Best wishes,
Hilary Hardie
Can we do any tolling at 7pm – 2 people at a church keeping their distance… ?
