April Newsletter 2023

Welcome to the latest issue of the Leicester Guild Newsletter.

The first quarter of the year is always a bit quieter ringing wise. The colder, damp weather seems to keep people away from what can be rather chilly towers, and outings are frequently left until the warmer weather of spring and summer.

But, there has still been plenty going on to fill our newsletter – and there seems to be in particular a theme of education to the activities that have been going on in the last three months.

In the next issue (out in July) I am hoping to include your news of ringing for the coronation – don’t forget to take pictures, or video, and pass them on to me. If you have any questions about sending me files, just email and we will sort something out.
