Recently received by your secretary - I should probably filter out some of these but it looks quite fun!!!
Dear
Geoff,
I would like to present Eden Valley CC with a challenge:
Ringing for England is in its 5th
year and is a campaign to unite all the
bells of all the churches to ring out right across the country to celebrate
England’s Patron Saint. Abbeys, Castles, Cathedrals, Minsters and churches are
going to do just that. To broaden the concept other forms of bells are
being encouraged to join in and this of course includes the bells on
bikes.
The CHALLENGE-
St. George’s Day, this year is
Thursday April 23rd and CARLISLE Cathedral is joining in the
campaign Ringing for England by ringing out either at 12 o’clock or 6 in the
evening. It would be fantastic if all the riders of the club could gather
together at the cathedral flying the St. George’s flag and ringing their bells
in unison with the great bells of the cathedral. What a brilliant sound
that would make. This campaign has nothing to do with politics, is not
necessarily religious focused. It is just about helping anyone who feels
English to go out and have a great time celebrating St. George uniting the
whole nation in the act of ringing .
If you would like any further
information please contact me and see our web site www.ringingforengland.co.uk, our
twitter @englandringing and facebook ringingforengland.
Would be great
to hear from you,
Libby

I'm not sure that cyclists would be welcome in the cathedral!
ReplyDeleteI agree - as there is a ban on cycling in the cathedral grounds - where would we gather?
ReplyDeleteHow many of us have bells?
