Holy Trinity Church Theale
Bell Tower News
As I write this I am just trying to understand the ringing for the Olympics and how we and Theale can participate. We have just rung for Remembrance Sunday. After that we come to Christmas ringing whilst were we are not as busy as the other areas such as the choir though we are hoping to do some additional ringing.
In other news Andrew our new ringer has just been on a bell maintenance course so hopefully will be able to help maintain the bells because at the moment no one here can maintain the bells and we have to get professionals in any time work needs to be done.
