Just in case anyone was going to brave the cold and visit South Brent for the practice this evening, 5th January, please be advised that due to ringer illness 🤧 and the freezing temperatures ❄️🥶 the practice has been cancelled.

Looking forward to seeing everyone for Sunday ringing or Monday practice next week!

Good morning all!

We get lots of opportunities to ring over Christmas, so there’s no practice this evening at South Brent.

You’ll hear us ringing again at 3:15 on Christmas Eve.

Hello Followers!

We've been having a busy few weeks at South Brent tower. Our ringers have hosted our own competition (see the results here: https://www.devonbells.co.uk/index.php/south-brent-ringing-festival-results/ ) as well as attending other competitions, taking part in Devon Association of Ringers events and making sure that all the church services and special occasions are marked with bellringing, including the 80th anniversaries of VE and VJ Day in May and August this year.

One of the quietly significant events this year was a visit from a professional bellhanger, who came to inspect our metal frame high up in the tower. There is a bit of corrosion on one of the sub-frames which has created a bit of a hole! The bells are safe to ring, but we do need to raise a bit of money so that the frame can be repaired and strengthened.

We have set up a Just Giving page so that people can donate to keep our bells ringing! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/patrick-mcculloch-1?utm_medium=FA&utm_source=EM

Please do share this link and we'll keep you posted with other fund raising events in the coming weeks.

Cheers!

Iʼm raising money to help The South Brent Bellringers founded in 1781, 245th year in 2026. The bells need a new frame costing £60k . Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
