<p><br>Peals of Bells are rung to mark important occasions and the Queen's <br>Diamond Jubilee this year is very special.<br><br><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>A successful peal lasts about three and a half hours!.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>A member of the <strong>Rotary Club of Brackley</strong>, Paul learned to ring church bells as a new hobby in 1999 in time to 'ring in' the new millennium.</p>
<p>Paul is to ring a peal for the first time with the ringing team at St <br>Peter's church in Brackley to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. <br><br>Ringing a peal is one of the ultimate challenges for bellringers and <br>will represent a real achievement.<br><br>To mark the occasion you are invited to sponsor the ringing. Funds <br>raised will be used to fund the construction of a much needed well in <br>Mithuluni, Africa. A local campaign has been focussed on this appeal for some time.<br><br>Bell ringing is a traditional skill which needs to attract new recruits <br>as presently there are more bells than ringers locally. It is a very <br>satisfying pastime. It is a team activity which requires good <br>coordination with other team members. It offers good company, good <br>exercise, some travel to local churches.<br><br>To make contact with local bellringers go to <a href="http://www.cul-branch.info">www.cul-branch.info</a></p>
