A two minutes silence
was observed at 11am, followed by the reading, "Cry for Peace", read

Film premiere of The Bells of Barnham Broom
The story of how we achieved our goal of restoring and ringing our Bells
to celebrate the Centenary of the Armistice in November 2018 has been captured
on camera.
The film of “The Bells of Barnham Broom” will be shown on
the 3rd January 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.
JUNE TO DECEMBER 2019 UPDATE
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.

| Ringing on Easter Sunday |
Our bells are now ringing regularly: ahead of services, by visiting
ringers and to help train our ringers on Monday evenings. There was a full peal
of bells rung on 6th March which took 2 hours 38 minutes for the 5,040 changes.
See https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1274541 for details. The
only other full peal was rung in 1970.
As well as ringing out to welcome everyone to the Licensing of Rev Dr
Louisa Pittman as Assistant Curate on 27th March, they rang again in a quarter
peal after the service.
Our ringers are also joining others to ring ahead of se
rvices at other
local churches, such as Garvestone and Reymerston. Some joined other local
ringers for a ringers outing to visit and ring at 7 churches in Suffolk on
Saturday, 11th May.

Having received the final refunds from the taxman on top of the final
payment of our Heritage Lottery Fund grant, our committee met again in April to
agree how the funds in hand could extend our restoration project. With the
safety of our bell ringers and visitors to our bells in mind, repairs to the
bell tower stairs and window sill are our priority. With the Wi-Fi issue resolved,
the cameras installed in the bell tower are now in action.

local community. Following on from a

| the tower lit up |
Our bells rang out before the 6pm Carol Service with the D’Capo choir on
Sunday 9th December.
With the tower lit up, it was possible to both see and hear the bells as
the congregation arrived. The school hand chimes, purchased with our Lottery
grant, could also be heard as part of the service. They were played by members
of the choir. Many stayed for mulled
wine and nibbles afterwards.
