St Lawrence Society of Ringers
| Published: 18th September 2009 13:02 |
Founded in 1981, the Sunday Service band is constituted as the "St Lawrence Society of Ringers", and has ensured that the bells are rung on Sundays before Parish Communion, for Church festivals, and other services as required. Current Ringing times are:
| Sundays | 0845 - 0930 |
Practice Night | Friday 2000 - 2130 |
The band is very strong in terms of both numbers and ability. At the most recent AGM, ringing membership numbered 23; practices cater for all levels of ringing on twelve, from rounds to Spliced Surprise Maximus.
The society is closely integrated with the Church; many members serve, or have served on the PCC in various capacities. The Summer and Christmas dinners are notable Town occasions, with the Mayor and other dignitaries as guests, as well as many ringers from around the country.
Ringers of all abilities are welcome at practice or on a Sunday; Towcester has always been a principal teaching tower in the area, and is a registered "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers Ringing Centre", equipt with a dumb-bell, simulator, and neighbouring conference-style facilites.
