The Mini Ring - Bell Ringing - July 2008

This second clip of the Mini Ring was taken in July 2008, once again at the summer fete held at Holy Trinity Church Milton Regis, Kent, England.
The 'Mini Ring' was kindly brought along by Chris Trafford and demonstates English style change ringing, also known as Campanology.
this portable Mini Ring consists of 6 bells hung for full cirlce ringing and was completed in early 2007. The heaviest bell (the tenor) weighs 39lbs. The bells were cast by Taylors of Loughborough in 2003. The design of the Mini Ring was made by Mr. R. Durrant, the frame and fittings constructed at Frinsted, Kent, by Mr. M. Hooker.
The Mini Ring is able to attend events such as flower festivals, fetes, weddings etc. Please email Mr. C. Trafford for more information on trafford1081@hotmail.com

i can't tell for the double striking. The ringer of the tenor lets it go so far over the balance at each stroke, it keeps clappering randomly. lol. = )
