This week the lockdown was eased slightly but still not enough to allow us to meet up – the church is still closed and people can only meet one person outside their family. It will be a long time before we are able to practise but luckily we do not have many bookings until the pre Christmas rush starts in November.

We have however had to cancel our first booked performance of the year at Aire Valley Court in Bingley, but we hope to be able to return there later in 2020.

We were also due to host a Summer get together of ringers from throughout our region in June, but this has also been cancelled. Because the calendar in the Autumn is likely to get busy this will not be held later in the year but instead we have offered to host the event in 2021.

In the meantime we are all keeping busy in our houses, gardens and allotments and are keeping in regular contact with each other passing on news, quizzes and brain teasers.
