Branch Practices

In addition to the weekly tower practices, the Branch organises regular monthly practices at selected Branch towers and occassionally further afield.

Practice take place every month on a Saturday afternoon, usually the fourth Saturday of the month, starting at 3pm and ending at 4:30pm.

There is no monthly practice in April. The Branch has a special invitation to ring at Gloucester Cathedral (12) in September every year. Gloucester Cathedral ringing will most likely start at a different time to regular Branch practices, i.e. not at 3pm. Please check the programme for details.
