Congratulations to the ringers in St. Donard’s who celebrated 75 years since the bells were first installed.
It was especially good to have Ronnie King, one of the original ringers, there to read the lesson and cut the cake following the Service on Sunday 24th November.

To celebrate, a Quarter Peal of 1260 Doubles (3m) – Stedman, Grandsire and Plain Bob was run on Tuesday 26th November. Photo below and details are at this link

Unfortunately, the December Northern District Practice in Hillsborough has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
We will update you all in due course on future Northern District Practice’s  in 2025.

Should any tower wish to advise any potential visitors of their ringing times over the Festive season, send an email to the webmaster and we will add to this page and Facebook.
