Bell ringing HOME

Have you rung with me? If so e-mail me.
Bellringing in the Classroom Alphabet of 1/4'd Towers   

I have rung loads of quarter peals, but I stopped keeping records in 1981.   I have been looking back over years of Ringing World magazines to see what my actual total is, but it is a LONG job.  I have access to RWs in a random order. [As at August 2005 I no longer expect I shall complete this task]

Years shown in black have not yet been searched

Years shown as a link will take you to the records for that year if clicked.

No quarters were rung in the years shown in green
