Thanks a lot.

Peterborough Branch Outing 20 August 2022

Dear friends, As in previous years, there will be no branch practice in August, due to the number of us away.

If you are thinking to yourself “well I don’t tend to go anyway”, why not pop the first Friday in September in your diary now!

Happy holidays, James

Dear all, the details of Towers we will be visiting on the Branch Outing on 20 August are below. I do hope you will be able to join us. Please let me know if you would like to attend to through this link – Branch Events Organiser.

Peterborough Branch Outing 20 August 2022

We need just two more ringers to make up a band of eight to ring for a wedding at Oundle Church on Saturday 23rd July. Meet time is 1:40pm for ringing both before and after the Wedding Service which is scheduled to start at 2pm. We ‘could’ just ring the back six, but I would rather ring all eight if possible. A fee of £25 is available per rope – please let me know if you are available.

The popular annual Branch Outing returns this year and the date for this is Saturday 20 August. 

I am contacting towers around Huntingdon to put together the programme, and as soon as I have them confirmed I will let you know.

In the meantime, please put the date in your diary, and let me know if you would like to join us.

Dear friends, this Friday will be our branch eight bell practice at Castor 1930 until 21h.

Please consider attending if you can already ring Bob minor and would like to extend your ringing onto eight bells.

For those developing their surprise major repertoire the special method will be Cornwall and of course Stedman will always be special.
