As a Belgian fan of swinging bells who has recorded the peals in the city, I'am very happy that the Memorial Church will receive a set of change ringing bells! A nice tribute to those who lost their lives while defending the city.

These are last year’s mainland ring. Vernet les Bains are the new mainland set! Seriously, 4cwt 10 coming Easter 2019

[@BristolVRchap]

They do sound rather splendid! Look forward to hearing then ring together once hung.

As I live only at about 100 km from Ypres (Ieper), I'd loved to have the occasion to learn to ring them in the proper way.

I live a long way a way, in Australia, but am English and ring in Sydney, I am so excited that mainland Europeans could be interested in change ringing. There is a peal in Holland and in Verona they have full circle ringing but different than English ringing. In August I was in Paris and I thought how absolutely wonderful it would be if in Notre Dame there was a peal of change ringing bells along the lines of Yorkminster. I encourage you to go and learn. Who knows where you will end up visit.. The UK, America, Australia, New Zealand.

[@thierrypauwels]

In Holland there is one in Dordrecht, but that is almost a miniring. There is also Geldrop, but the bells are not swung. And Veronese ringing is really different from British ringing. In change ringing the bells are swinging continuously, while in Veronese ringing each bell has to wait upside down until it is its turn to ring.

[@Steven_Rowe]

Thierry Pauwels Yes I have see the Dutch bells on youtube. The belks are different in Veri NV a but sone Britush ringers have dobe change ringing on them. Tge fact that the bells sound sequentially and not randomly is what I believe makes them sound better, but of course that is only personsl opinion. There seems to be a great but unwritten connection between change ringing and drinking beer so the attraction to come to Belgium would be like attracting bees to flowers. To see change ribging b reak away from the stereotype of being English and proestant is good I believe. I know of Indian and chinese ringers and so this will breathe new life into ringing

[@irenec4876]

Thierry Pauwels The bells are at St. george’s memorial church

[@BellringerBen]

How much do the bells weigh??

[@crazyleyland5106]

Are these bells going to be hung as British ones are, so that they can be change rung, rather than rung in the Continental way?

[@Steven_Rowe]

This is exciting, imagine the UK invasion of mainland Europe with change ringing, Now that is something really to get excited over

[@CBF1]

steven rowe That will NEVER happen. Something to REALLY get excited over is Europe invading the UK with standard ringing. Change ringing is not harmonious because whenever you get close to a change ringing bell ringing alone the clapper makes an AWFUL screeching noise when it rests on the material of the bell. Standard ringing is a lot more harmonious because the clapper doesn't rest on the bell nor does it make a horrible screeching sound. Think about Konstanzer Munster. Konstanzer Munster is REAL harmony.

[@CBF1]

@@dylanthomas3882 No. But I have seen a video of change ringing from the outside. I personally like the Grantham bells the most. Other than that some of my favourite peals are those of Konstanzer Munster and Vienna Stephansdom, and St Kunibert in Cologne along with the peal of the Salvation cathedral at bucharest...

[@hughmallen333]

St.georges chapel Windsor does it have a peel of bells
