[darrowby1972]

My gawd! they sound horrendous!

[1BODGER95]

Maybe...

Imagine how beautiful they would be if they were retuned.

[1BODGER95]

Really?!?!

That's not what I've been told.

[LottieBTS]

PLEASE! - someone get these dreadful bells retuned.

[1BODGER95]

I think they're too old to be recast.

[1BODGER95]

Around 5&6 yes. They are very old.

[1BODGER95]

It wasn't me, it was my mum who took it! LOL =]

[1BODGER95]

Or maybe just retune???

[1BODGER95]

Thanks Niall.

Does it bring back memories???

[1BODGER95]

Sorry. I only just noticed. I did have a bob triples clip, but must have mushed the video up. sorry.

Oh no! all that way. where do you live? must have been so disapointing for him. Ah wel, they welcome you with open arms.

P.S, They offer chocolate aswell ;o)

It's definately worth the trip though!

[ryanoble]

Ouch they don't have great tuning!

So you went along then you were brave! Go anywhere else?

So were they ringing Surprise Major?

I was going to ring at Swanage when I went on my hols last week but some idiot (aka my dad) decided to take the long route back from bournemouth to swanage and we got caught in bloody traffic jams :-(

[1BODGER95]

[1BODGER95]

[ryanoble]

I know - and some of the ringers that I ring with regularly went on an outing (when I was doing something else) down to swanage... and now they've been - and I HAVEN'T

But anyway.... there will always be another chance!
