There will be a training morning for Handbell Ringing on Saturday 11th February, from 10 am till 12:30 at All Saints Church, Kingston upon Thames.
No previous experience of handbell ringing is required, but it will help if you can already ring Bob Minor on tower bells. There will be a little bit of homework for you to do in advance.
Please email ndcom2 [at] surreybellringers [dot] org [dot] uk (Mike Bangham) or telephone (020) 8977 4571 to take part. I would also like to hear from you if you can already ring up to Bob Minor in hand and would like to assist.

General ringing 3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., followed by a Service, Tea, Business Meeting and evening ringing from 7.30 p.m. (approximately) to 9 p.m. Details to follow.
Please note a change to the published schedule, there is no ND practice at Bansted on 22nd Feb as this is Ash Wednesday. Instead our regular district practice in February is at All Saints, Benhilton on Tuesday the 28th.
District practices are an opportunity for us to support tower practices providing a chance for local ringers to extend their normal repertoire and give others the chance to visit the tower, ring new bells and for us all to meet other members. Everyone is encouraged to attend and the ringing is always varied and adapted to the abilities of those present.
