HANDBELL GROUP
Handbell Tune Ringing
You are invited to come to have fun making music with others. Several willing recruits would be welcomed by bells which are waiting patiently to be played, and you do not need to be a music reader to get started. A taster session can be arranged so that you can find out what is involved and you could then decide whether you want to go on to be part of this team activity. Tune ringing on handbells is alive and well in some parts of the country www.hrgb.org.uk - it would be good to see it being enjoyed in this area.
