[@benjaminvallejo6695]

very amazing bells! can you do a video raising the whole peal one day ?

[@ringerpaul3118]

I come from Norfolk but the only two Norfolk churches I’ve rung at are Yarmouth (where I learnt) and Gorleston. There are lots of great Norfolk bells!

[@jaydenstebbings5453]

Yes there are I usually ring at dereham on a Monday night and they are a nice ring of eight but unfortunately swaffham only get rung occasionally and often people come and are put off by the long rope draft but they are actually lovely bells to ring and it would be lovely to mabey ring with you one day. :)

@@jaydenstebbings5453 I haven’t been to Dereham for years! I didn’t know they had bells. Chertsey has a very long draft and no rope guide which doesn’t make ringing easy. I lived in Norwich for over two years and never rang at all. My ringing teacher really knocked my confidence so I didn’t ring for a long time after leaving Norfolk. I went on my first ringing outing last week 😊 It would be great to come up to Norfolk and ring with you!

@@ringerpaul3118 Yes that would be great swaffham are trying to have a once a month practice but it's a bit hit and miss because one week there's eight ringers and another theres only about three but dereham have a nice 22 cat eight and practice every Monday so when ever your in Norfolk just tell me and I can meet you up there one night

[@ringerpaul3118]

Great! I go to our practice every Thursday night at Weybridge. If I can’t be there, I let the tower captain know, which he appreciates. Some weeks there’s ten ringers for eight bells. This week there were six (half term?). I also try to be there every Sunday too. We had seven today.

@@ringerpaul3118 that's great that you get that many ringers at dereham it's a bit hit or miss because we either get eight one week and four the next.
