Sunday, 8th December: Handbell collection starts
From Victoria Clifton, Handbell Captain:
The Steeple Aston Handbell ringers are deep in rehearsals preparing to go around Steeple and Middle Aston. We will start on Sunday, 8th December at the Wassail evening, and over the following two weeks endeavour to knock on every door, weather permitting.
This year we will be collecting for two great causes. Firstly, the British Heart Foundation: A easy choice, as two of our current team have received sucessful heart surgery in the past 12 months. Secondly, we will be giving half to the church roof appeal. We don’t always know when we will need the church building to be there for us, and all assume it will be, but the repairs are needed, so as the handbells are owned by the church it is important we do our bit.
Donating will be easy…. we’ll have our traditional buckets to collect cash on the doorstep or you can donate via our just giving page. Details below.
We look forward to ringing for you soon, Merry Christmas!
