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

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