MAY 2016 UPDATE

Once again the bells have rung out from the Church of St Peter & St Paul, Barnham Broom. This time it was part of a structural survey of the Bell Tower. We had 4 ringers available for our 5 bells. A passing visitor who was drawn by the sound of the bells turned out to be an experienced bell ringer from Yeovil.  Joining in, that meant three out of our five ringers were Bell Captains.

A big thank you to everyone involved with the very enjoyable Mardling and Music evening with Keith Skipper and Ian Prettyman which raised just over £285 towards the Barnham Broom Church Bells Restoration Appeal. The fine weather meant that we could enjoy our refreshments afterwards al fresco.

Organisation of the Barnham Broom Village fete on Sunday 17th July is stepping up a pace. Posters will be going up around the village soon and more information will be available nearer the time. If you can help to set up or participate in the fete please talk to Karen at the Barnham Broom Post Office & Stores or contact us via bbbells.appeal@gmail.com

Our thanks once again for your continued support and donations. Our total fund plus pledges has now reached over £19,800.
