The lovely back eight at Cookham in Berkshire.

Err, nice bells, shame about the ringing!! (I was on the two!!). My bell handling has improved since then - I hope!

[@RingerJake]

Come on Jo! That is VERY good ringing!

I'm looking forward to December - two weddings to ring for - at Cookham and Dorney - Christmas ringing, New Year ringing (love it! and the mulled wine afterwards) and Branch Practice at Cookham on Saturday 13th. Plus the Sunday services - so should make up for the lack of practices between Christmas and the New Year. Are you ringing in the New Year at Newbury, Jake?

[@RingerJake]

Jo Baetke Yes. I'm looking forward to it a lot!!

You should come to Newbury which practices on a Monday at 7;30 till nine which is when we ring the three clock bells down.

Hi Jake, hope you've had a good Christmas. I rang at Cookham for midnight mass and then two services on Christmas day, so did three services in 24 hours! Rang at Chagford, Devon before Christmas when we were on holiday and today did the post-Christmas outing - unfortunately had a lock out on the last tower! But made up for by being present when the stay on the tenor at Cobham broke.... it was a novice ringing and he took a while to let go... wish you'd been there with your cam....
