Upcoming events

CANCELLED -- Unfortunately due to lots of regulars being unavailable, the advanced practice on Friday 25 April is cancelled as we do not have sufficient numbers. There will be an opportunity for advanced ten bell ringing at Glasgow on the morning of the AGM (Sat 17 May) and again at St Cuthberts Edinburgh on Friday 30 May so please keep these dates in your diary.

As usual, please let Ruth (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know if you plan to attend.

Sat 10 May :: Scottish Handbell Day :: Glasgow

• The next Scottish Handbell Day will be on Saturday 10th May at 1 Albany Quadrant, Glasgow
• Participants need to be able to ring Plain Bob Minor already.
• Please let me know as soon as possible if you are going to come – also what you would like to ring (and what you are already confident of ringing, if you think I don't already know). And if you can bring bells, that would be useful (and please confirm).
• Lunch will be provided; contributions of cakes, biscuits, salads etc are welcome as always. If you have any dietary restrictions beyond vegetarian/vegan, please give details.
