This morning call changes were rung by Bethany, Bob, Imogen, Janice, Simon & Tony. Followed by Prosecco 🙂
Christmas jumpers
Bethany, Bob, Imogen and Janice performed call changes conducted by Bethany this morning to call the faithful to morning service.
Sadly, the photographs didn’t come out well so we’re not able to show the trio of Christmas jumper clad beauties in all their glory. Maybe next year!
Claire and Stuart
A full Devon Peal (Sixty on Thirds) was rung today by Bethany, Bob, Chris(C), Janet, Janice and Nigel to celebrate the wedding of Claire and Stuart.
The ringing chamber was subsequently cleaned by Bethany & Janice, well done girls.

At 5:30pm on Monday 27th April, the tenor was tolled 58 times to mark the passing of Michael Gordon Stammers, brother of Chawton ringer Bob Stammers. A recording was made and played at Mike’s funeral during a period of quiet reflection.
Fresh Sunday Ringing
This morning, winter dispelled by the snowdrops and daffodils, Bethany, Bob, Janet, Janice, Keith and Nigel rang call changes (four different conductors) as well as ringing both up and down in peal. What an excellent start to spring.
Tower Decision 2015
On 19th January, interested parties will gather in The Greyfriar at or before 7:30pm in order to discuss the following over some suitable libations:-
1930: Apologies – There won’t be any, we don’t care.
1931: Approval of 2014 AGM minutes – They will be, we don’t care.
1936: Future of band. To consider:
i. Continue as Chawton – Who knows? maybe, if there are at least four of us.
ii. Merge with Bentworth – We’ve pretty much done that already.
iii. Merge with Selborne – Selborne’s nearer than Bentworth.
iv. Disband – Again.
2011: Treasurer’s report – Have we got any money?
2016: 2015 subscriptions – to the guild, if only for insurance purposes.
2021: Wedding/Service cover arrangements – Who will we sub out to?
2036: Band development/publicity – If we’re going to carry on, a plan might help.
2100: Time for bed said Zebedee.
