Free Bell Muffles

Free Bell Muffles

I still have some bell muffles available which are free to any tower which has none. Aberavon took the first 8 for Remembrance Day, but there are still another 20 available. They are well used, with many in reasonable condition. Just come along and rifle through the box, taking those you want. Contact me on 07388 420001 to ask questions or to make arrangements for collection from Llandaff. David Moore

Books by Andrew Giles

Local ringer and historian Andrew Giles has very kindly made available for free download two of his excellent publications about ringers and bells in our Association's area.

The books are in PDF format and Andrew would be delighted if you would take the opportunity to download and read them at your leisure in the hope that they will increase interest in ringing locally and, if read by non-ringers, inspire readers to get involved and try our fascinating and very sociable pastime.

There are two books available:

Please remember that the Copyright for both publications resides with Andrew Giles.
