I would like to thank Russell for arranging the February meeting. In spite of his efforts, the day was a write off with only 3 ringers attending. It is very disappointing as Russell had put in a lot of work (as do all the people who arrange meetings). We do need more people to volunteer to organise meetings! If we share the load it is not so difficult, but it seems to be the same people doing the work.

1st Tower, from 10-30 A.M. till Noon, is St. Nicholas, Church Road, Leatherhead, KT22 8BD. A ring of 10 bells,
19cwt tenor.

Lunch is booked at "The Woodman", Barnett Wood Lane, Ashtead, Surrey KT21 2DA

2nd Tower, from 2-00 till 3-30 P.M., is St.Giles, Park Lane, Ashtead, KT21 1EJ. A ring of 8 bells, 13cwt
tenor.

I would like to thank Pam for coming to the rescue this month. Without her efforts we would not be ringing.
Spring is on the way, so if you would like to arrange a day further afield please get in touch.

All welcome.

Practical sessions for calling and conducting simple methods and touches (plain bob, little bob, grandsire...doubles and minor) with the theory as well. Others also welcome to just ring the methods (to act as 'guinea pigs'!).

On the 2nd Friday of every month at Nutfield.
