MASSED RINGING PIECES WERE INTERSPERSED THROUGH OUT THE DAY, WHICH WERE:-
COME LASSES AND LADS, CRIMMOND / NOW IS THE HOUR, FINALE:- ROYAL FIRE WORKS.

Three ringers from the far Northwest travelled on the Friday afternoon, stayed close by at a Premier Inn, Gordon, Soo and Norma, from the Tantony Ringers and Dean.

Breakfast was 9am, very nice it was too. It was nice to meet up with our friends.

Kinder opened the solo pieces with Alexander's Rag Time Band, it was stunning.

Tantony slowed the pace down with a short, but very sweet piece: There's Music In The Air,

Norbury gave us Spirit of the Living God / Sky Boat Song, very nice piece.

Marple, A wonderfull rendition of Glockenspeil, set our feet tapping.

Beth and Jocie, played: Three Lions. (Mum and Daughter), gave a splendid, (captivated audience) with The Three Lions

Well done Jocie, your Grandma would be very proud of your performance.

 

After Lunch.

 

Time to get our brains thinking for two quizzes. The first consisted of 10 questions, the first person to raise their hand received a small gift. The second one was bingo where each ringer was given the names of all the places Kinder
have rung over the last 40 years. There were some gaps in each grid, if you were able to tick on your paper a line of 5, then you won a small prize.

The solos were reversed for our second half but first:- we had a lovely surprise. Irene and her daughter Eleanor,
played 4 in hand: ''My Old Man's a Dustman''. Wow it was fantastic. We wish you all the very best, Irene and Eleanor.

Team Ringing Solos:

Norbury: Musical Box. A lovely piece.

Beth and Jocie: Tragedy by The Bee Gees, 1979 piece of music.
Marple: Trumpet Tune. A lovely classical piece.

Tantony: Green Sleeves. An Old Wordly piece.
Kinder: Seranata. Another lovely classical piece.

A most welcome tea break, and the raffle was drawn. It was a great honour to Jocie, to pick out the tickets, Linda asked us to join in a semicircle near the front of the room, each person was able to choose what they wanted.

There was time for us all to go through the massed ringing pieces. A good day was had by all.
