Cary Branch AGM & Ring: Pitcombe, 31st October, 2pm

RING. TALK. EAT. REPEAT.
It’s a double whammy on Saturday, 31st October (2pm-5pm)
We have our regular branch practice with our AGM thrown in as a bonus.
So come and ring, come and discuss, and come and eat cake!
We’re gathering at Pitcombe, one of the most picturesque churches in England – at least if we catch some very late summer sun.
All are very welcome.

Join us!

Lock in this date: 28th November – Cary Christmas Carol Concert

Middle of summer? Heat wave? Now’s the time to start thinking about Christmas πŸ˜„
Get this into your diary: Saturday 28th November 16.00-18.00 at West Camel. It’s the Cary Christmas Carol Concert πŸŽ‰

We’ll have big bells, hand bells, and jingle bells.
There’ll be an organ, choir, and carols.

It’s not just for ringers. Bring your family, invite your friends. We’re bringing joy to the world at the start of Advent.

If you’re one of those multitalented people who can both ring and sing, then join the carolling choir. Drop a note to carybranch.secretary@bath-wells.org
Ring out those bells tonight, Cary Branch, Cary Branch…
You’d be a wise man not to miss this!

Cary Branch Practices – Updated List 2026

🚨 Read all about it! Cary Branch Practices for 2026. Here is an updated listing for all the branch practices for the rest of the year. Some of the towers for later in the year are still to be confirmed (marked with an asterisk). It is in a black & white, A4, printer-friendly format – so, if a hardcopy helps you, do print out, stick up on a wall, hang it in your ringing room! Else, feel free to distribute the soft copy to ringers you know who may not be on Facebook, WhatsApp, or who might not even access this website.

πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ The practices are for everyone – both new and experienced ringers. There will be rounds, call changes, and methods.

🐣 For new ringers, it is a great way to fit in more practice, get tips, and get to know the broader ringing community.

πŸ₯· For experienced ringers, we know many of you are in towers in which there aren’t enough experienced ringers to practice more advanced methods – so the practices are a great opportunity to bring the ringing ninjas (ringjas?!) together for something special.

πŸ™ Big thanks to Emma, Branch Secretary, for coordinating all of this, it is no small task. Also, many thanks to the towers that have agreed to host a session.

Looking forward to seeing you at a practice soon!
