Dear Tower Captains / Correspondents and Ringers.
It’s time to let me have news about your towers and what you have been doing since September 2019.
The newsletter will be published on the 1st March so could you please send me all relevant correspondence by Thursday 27th February so I can collate all submissions and send them through ready for print.
A call to all tower ringers, if you feel you have any news you would like to put forward i.e. forthcoming events, Quarter peals or peals, success in Learning the Ropes please inform your Tower Captain or correspondent who will put it forward.
Please send all info to me at terry62.wright@outlook.com
Many thanks.

The next 10 bell practice is on Saturday February 8th at Rothwell, 10.30 to 12.30.
10 bell practices will be held every other month. I’ve added all the proposed dates to the events section of the Branch web site (https://petbells.org.uk/events/ ) and will add any further details as they occur.
On the 8th May 1945, the news that the nation had waited and prayed for finally arrived. The war in Europe was over. Six years of bloodshed that killed millions of our armed forces and civilians was over.
At 7pm on the 8th May 2020 all bells are invited to ring out across the nation in celebration of 75 years of peace. As a branch I hope as many towers as possible will take part in this celebration as a mark of respect to all the brave fallen service personal also those who returned maimed or seriously injured by ringing with pride.
For further information see page 52 of the Ringing World dated 10th January 2020. Towers can register themselves by going to the RINGING OUT FOR PEACE page of the VE Day 75 website – http://www.veday75.org and register your involvement as soon as possible.
7pm is the ideal and recommended option but any time that afternoon/evening and indeed over the weekend as a planned event will also be supported. Every tower taking part will be able to print a copy of the General certificate of grateful recognition as a reminder of their involvement in VE 75.
