A further reminder for Saturday July 30th Waterford Christ Church Cathedral will be celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the bells.
The first peal to be rung in Ireland happened in July 1872, as documented on the peal board in the ringing room.
Waterford Ringers would like to invite ringers from other towers to visit Waterford and ring with us on Saturday 30th (from 11am), and we are particularly inviting ringers who can participate in a quarter peal on that day. Refreshments will be provided.
