Welcome to our Bellringing Website!
We hope that you find this site
to be useful and informative. If you have any comments or suggestions about
the content, feel free to contact us. In common with many rural areas, there
are more bells to be rung than there are ringers to ring them, but we do
our best to ensure that any requests for help are dealt with.
The East Coast of Lincolnshire is a popular tourist area, and if you have
visited before, you will know that the County is not completely flat! We
will give you a warm welcome whether you are on holiday, or are arranging
an outing with your own band, and will be pleased to help you find a practice
night to enjoy.
This year there are two main events to plan for:
1. The Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
2. The 2012 London Olympic Games
Do try and get the bells ringing for these important occasions.
I would like to take this opportunity of wishing all members of the Eastern Branch, and also all other ringers, a healthy, peaceful New Year.

St Mary's, Sutterton sees double birthday celebrations
The bellringing practice at Sutterton on 26th January 2012 was followed by a double birthday celebration at Penny and Roger Fountain's house, conveniently next to the church.
Thirsts quenched we all tucked in to warm sausage rolls. Photographs were taken of the cake made by Annette for Ian, the three bells on top were suitably labelled Happy Birthday Ian. Also the second cake (made by Boston College) for Diana.
The birthday singing for Diana had taken place the previous evening at the College, and so was not repeated. As usual, the ringers were not short on appetite and all of us managed to eat pieces of both cakes (apart from Viv who had eaten two sausage rolls!) All agreed Annette's cake wa delicious.
It was suggested that repeat performances be made for everyone's birthdays in future, so Ian marked the dates on the tower calendar.
We all agreed that we had had a splendid evening. Special thanks to Annette for making such a lovely cake and to Penny and Roger for their hospitality.
