[West Ham Bells @westhambells]

Great practice last night with our two beginner ringers coming on really well & another ringer returning after a long break. We did lots of handling practice & eased our returner back in with Plain Hunt, some Bob Doubles & ringing down in peal.
Service ringing tomorrow am 🔔👍🏻

One of our regular visitors brought 2 friends along last night who wanted to try #bellringing - always a pleasure to show people the ropes! Also managed some PB, Grandsire and got the band working on Ipswich too. #bells #westham

Hot on the heels of one of our band tackling the 72cwt tenor at @ExeterCathedral last week, here's another band member on the heaviest tenor hung for full circle ringing in the world, at @LivCathedral

It was a pleasure to ring this morning as we welcomed Bishop Lynne to @SaintChurch_ All Saint's West Ham. She brought the sunshine with her too - the tower was looking glorious. We rang 8 bells for her today and very much enjoyed it. #bellringing #westham

Heather is an instructor at West Ham, she has spent many years instructing and nurturing bell ringers. Heather will spot an issue and give steps to get that person ringing better and more confidently.
Heather's aim is to have more people ringing. #bellringing #volunteersweek

And we are very lucky to have her ❤️ 🔔

Gill Glover is the master of St Chads, Shrewsbury and supports training across Shropshire.
Sue says 'Gill appears to enjoy all training sessions despite the effort in running them and the time and energy it takes to get them going.’
