Yesterday was the AGM and ringing meeting of the North Wales Association of Church Bellringers (Gwynedd & West Clwyd Branch) held at St Thomas's Church in Rhyl. A good attendance of ringers from along the N Wales coast including five from Holy Trinity made this an excellent gathering with a good variety of ringing.

On Saturday 12 March the North Wales Association itself will hold a ringing event and its AGM at Holy Trinity. Hopefully this will attract ringers from across the whole region.

Between 2pm and 3.30pm.  Come and introduce yourself by asking anyone at the church for Stan the bellringer man!

Sorry Paddy and thanks Nemesis.
From our point of view as hosts of this event, it was a very successful afternoon with a lot of nice comments from people passing, and from ringers who had traveled from other parts of North Wales, and in the case of four visitors, from beyond.
This type of event doesn't happen too often in our Church but I will warn you Paddy in advance that we shall be ringing the bells again on a Saturday afternoon ie 14 May for a wedding.

Suepp. You didn't come and introduce yourself.

This coming Saturday 9th April, Holy Trinity's bells will be ringing out before and after the special Church in Wales music awards choral evensong service/ceremony which starts at 2.30pm. The ringing beforehand will be a quarter peal lasting for about 45 minutes.

Stan the (bellringer) man


PS for Hugo. It looks as if you might have to put up with the handbells again at your 2011 Xmas lunch!!!

A beautiful afternoon for the Archbishop's music awards service mentioned above and we were proud that the bells played a part in the proceedings. The quarter peal was successfully rung before the service. (Amazing how many people thought that the bells were ringing for a wedding!)

One or two of our regular ringers are away this weekend so if there are any visiting ringers on holiday in the area, we invite you to come and ring with us on Easter Morning ie Sunday at 10am prior to the service which starts at 10.30am.

Tonight's practice went ahead as usual at Holy Trinity and included ringing specially to mark the Royal Wedding.

We were especially pleased to welcome an old friend, Cliff, who comes to the Transport Festival on Bodafon Fields every year with an exhibit.
