With the safety of our bell ringers and visitors to our bells in mind, we’ve
used our surplus funds on repairs to the bell tower stairs and West Window. The
window repairs were done in time for the bells to ring for our Carol Service on
Sunday 8th December and then again for the School Carol Service. Monday
night ringing practices are now back in Barnham Broom.
Our bells will be ringing on Christmas Morning ahead of the service.
As well as human visitors to the bell chamber, we have had a blue tit
which seemed to like taking selfies on one of the cameras and a long eared
brown bat which has taken up residence and is now in hibernation.
On the 3rd January, the film of The Bells of Barnham Broom
will be shown at Barnham Broom Village Hall NR9 4BU. Doors open at 6.30pm for a
7pm start. The film will be presented by
Producer Richard Kennan. Entrance is free and refreshments will be available
after the show.
Our Barnham Broom Community Fund events committee are continuing to
bring the village together in social events that help raise funds for the local
community. Since June there has been a
chance to meet the Community Fund events committee, an Afternoon Tea and Open
Gardens, a Village Fun Day, a Yard Sale, a Quiz Night and Prize Bingo. Most
recently the Christmas Capers event included a special visit from Father
Christmas and entertainment by The D'Capo choir and the Windmill Handbell
Ringers. The next event will be a Quiz Night in March
2020.
Our thanks to the bell ringers for ringing the bells at services
throughout the year and to all who continue to support us.
