January Newsletter 2026

Happy New Year, and welcome to the first newsletter of 2026.

In this issue we have reports of past ringing, as well as news of upcoming events. An important date to be aware of is the upcoming Guild Social meeting on 10th January – remember, names for brunch to Marie by 8th January – no name, no brunch!

This year we have a new annual feature looking at peals rung for the Guild, as well as our usual annual roundup of quarter peals over the past twelve months. And talking of quarter peals, well done to the SIX people who rang their first quarter peal in the last three months. Take a look at other firsts since October in our Firsts from Bellboard section.

Here’s to a new year filled with more ringing, more learning, more teaching, and more socialising!
