St. Peter and St. Paul - Great Missenden
|
|
||||||||||
Practice times: 7:00 to 9:00pm alternating with Little Missenden.
Typical Ringing repertoire: Sadly we are very short of active experienced ringers so welcome anybody who can help the band return to ringing methods as we are currently limited to rounds, call changes and plain hunt.
Service ringing arrangements: We ring half an hour before the main 10am service ( 9.30 - 9.55) and for other special services(not generally evensong)
Number of service ringers: Due to extra training of new members we are now usually ringing 6 - 8 bells on a Sunday morning
