The BBC website today features an article about how good bellringing (Campanology) is for keeping fit. The bellringing population (at least in the Bicester area) is ageing, but I don’t mean that in a bad way – ringing is often possible well into your 70s and 80s and is a great way to keep yourself moving and I hope it helps me keep going just as long; it’s great for younger folk too – you don’t need to work out in a gym (and pay huge gym fees) when you can pop along to your local tower and get some free exercise (for your body and your mind!). Take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20691056 and if you’re interested then either contact your local town/village church or contact me and I’ll teach you (if you are near Bicester) or put you in contact with someone nearer to you who can teach you.
