That is so cool, mini sallies and everything! I can imagine these bells take a bit of practice to ring properly, being so light.

What is the tenor weight there, I have rung in Newcastle (NI), the tenor there is only 2cwt, but they sound deeper than these, are they actually even lighter? I ound that such light bells were actually quite hard work to ring, in Newcastle they removed all the stays as they kept getting bounced and standing was a problem, so they just ring up and down each time now!

Im a ringer from Northern Ireland, where are you from? Newcastle are 3cwt, Grey Abbey is a 2cwt ring

Our mini bells are like that, tenor 10lbs and easier to ring double handed.
