Quarter Peal Weekend: 16/09/2023

Guild President Elizabeth Smith writes:

Our next Guild Quarter Peal Weekend is planned for mid September and will be based around Hereford. We hope to attempt quarters of Doubles, Minor, Triples and Major, although exactly what we ring will depend very much on who wishes to take part. If there is sufficient demand we might also be able to arrange some ringing (either quarter peals or general ringing) on the Friday afternoon and/or evening.

A booking form is available here and should be returned by 16th July at the latest (please download it, enable editing, fill it in and return to the email address given on the form).

We will arrange a group meal on Saturday evening (more details on this soon) and provide a list of suggested towers for service ringing on Sunday morning. Husbands and partners will be very welcome at the evening meal and for Sunday service ringing. It might also be possible to arrange some ringing for them on the Saturday, depending on numbers.

You should book your own accommodation. Our suggestion is: Premier Inn, Hereford Holmer Hotel, which also has a Beefeater Restaurant. There is another Premier Inn, Hereford City Centre, and a Travelodge in the city. There are a number of other hotels and Bed & Breakfast establishments.

Tower fees will be payable, generally based on £2.50 per rope per tower. Details of successful quarters will be posted on Bellboard and sent for publication in The Ringing World, for which the suggested donation is £1 per ringer per quarter.

I look forward to seeing you there, Liz
