BELL RINGINGDo you have some spare time you would like to fill up with a newexperience?Why not give bell-ringing a try? Bell-ringing has nothing to dowith strength or brute force. It is an art which requires acombination of listening, seeing and physical co-ordination. Youwill, I can promise, get an enormous amount of satisfaction whenyou have first managed to pull and properly control a bell. Thenext step, when you discover the mysteries of "change ringing",requires a certain amount of mental dexterity but that comes a

little later. Ringing is essentially a team business and as such, you will findit a very sociable activity.So, if you want to make new friends and do something useful in the serviceof St Mary's, why not come up to the belfry one Tuesday evening at 7.30pmor contact our Tower Captain, Jeff Cousins on 020 8394 0572.
