Fulham Bell Ringers

News from the 'soft and sweet' bells of All Saints Church Fulham and their equally delightful ringers.

After a rather abortive move to Bluesky, we are now properly on Instagram as @fulhambellringers and will be doing our posting there in future.

Here’s TC Owen receiving his ART achievement certificate from Rev Peter on our Bell Sunday. Congratulations to Owen on the award and on his preaching at today’s services 👏

Excellent practice last night thanks to reinforcements from @PutneyBells and elsewhere. All 10 ringing at practice for the 1st time in ages, plus Stedman, St Simons and Grandsire practice.

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

Well, we've moved over to where the sky is blue, so will increasingly be posting there as @asfbells.bsky.social

@Londonringing I find Instagram really hard to work out and I don’t always have photos to share. I’d rather have somewhere like this.

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

Boosting this yet again. Lots of people tweeter here follows on X in a personal or professional capacity are going to BlueSky, I think I’ve seen a couple of ringing posts on Threads, but finding it hard to search.

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

I asked this a while back but am asking again given recent developments. Are ringing accounts moving off Twitter, and if so where are you going?

@PutneyBells @BL_Music_Colls Love that niche comment!

We welcomed our new vicar at @AllSaintsFulham, Rev Peter Dobson, this evening with a quarter of Grandsire Doubles, then general ringing on all 10 bells (first time we’ve rung all 10 for a while, & it’s such a great sound).

Another good practice last night. Learners Carol and Niyi making excellent progress, and a visitor from Canada made all the difference to our upping our Stedman game.

Last week we had an informal tea party to say goodbye to former Tower Captain Eddie as he prepares to move to Brighton. Eddie was instrumental in reviving our band in the early 00s and has been a mentor, inspiration & friend to many ringers in the SW London area

@Londonringing We have thick walls but it’s still hot. Last week I was about to ask if we could open a window but then realised that all the windows were open, and there was just no air!

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

Because a lot of people are unavailable and the temperature is going to be very high we won’t be practising this week. But we are hoping to practise during August 🤞

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

Great practice tonight. Built on our Stedman Doubles & even managed a simple touch (once tweeter was moved to the tenor!). Also some intense dodging practice for one of our learners. All helped a lot by Paula from @PutneyBells. And we had a lovely US visitor from Northampton MA🙂

Energetic session of 60 on 3rds this morning. Not proper Devon style, but we made quite a good job of it.

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

@PutneyBells @zaphodikus Putney refugees (and other visitors) always welcome!

[Fulham Bell Ringers @ASFBells]

Only 5 this morning but we had some respectable Bob Minimus with cover. No band practice this Tuesday as Tower Captain & Ringing Master (and pretty much everyone else!) unavailable.
